Append:File adapter

Hi,
My requirement : to append to an existing file ,created through file adapter.
Use case : Let's say, we are polling for a DB table for new entries and writing it to file through file adapter. now in the second poll we have 2 new records, I want these to be appended to the original file.
Problem : for each polling if I get some new records, a new file is generated or we have the new records in the same file with previous records deleted.
Any possible solution for this..

I am having the same problem.........
Any update on this?

  • How to append records in a file, through file adapter.

    Hi All,
    How to append records in a file, through file adapter.
    I have to read data from database and need to append all records in a file.
    Thanks in Advance.

    Hi,
    I think you have a while loop to hit the DB in your Process (As you said you have to fetch data from DB 10 times if 1000 rec are there)
    First sopy your DB O/P to one var
    and from second time append to previous data.(Otherwise you can directly use append from starting instead of copy and append)
    When loop completes you can transform to File adapter Var.
    Otherwise you can configure yourFileadapter such that it will aapend current records to previous records.
    You can use 'Append= true' in your file adapter wsdl.
    It will append previous records to current records in the same file.

  • File adapter:FizeSize property doesn't effective if choose "Append" propert

    Hi
    I used file adapter to write a file to a Linux box, I use "*Append to existing file*" property, but it seems I can't use FileSize to limit the size of the file?
    I want to use Append to existing file and if the size of the file over than 1M, then generate a another new file, so the same behavior with this new generated new file.
    Any ideas is appreciated.
    Thanks

    This is as per the design. If you choose append to file option, the batching options such as Number of Messages Equals, Elapsed Time Exceeds, File Size Exceeds does not work.
    You may write a custom utility which keep checking the file size and renames it after it exceeds a particular size. You may also raise an enhancement request with support if you have a strong use case where this facility must be there OOB.

  • Appending in file and supplying file name at run time using File Adapter

    Hi,
    Can we use File Adapter to write in a file in append mode. i.e. a BPEL process opening a file appending some text and closing the file each time it called.
    Another query is can we create the file at run time with the supplied file name?

    In order to append to a file, we can use Append="true" in the interaction spec for the File/Ftp adapter.
    <jca:operation
    FileType="ascii"
    PhysicalDirectory="/home/adapter/output"
    FileNamingConvention="OutputFile.txt"

  • File conversion and append file in receiver file adapter

    Hi
    I have a batch IDoc -> XI(3.0) -> file scenario with file conversion to create a flat CSV-like file. The problem is that because of the amount of data sent from R/3 (~20000 employees), the idoc is split into several idocs. In my receiver file adapter I want to append all the idocs contained in this data transfer to one flat file, before transmitting to FTP server.
    For the next batch transfer (the next day) XI should start all over and create a new file and append all idocs contained in that transfer before transmitting the flat file to FTP server.
    Can this be done using the 'Use Temporary File' and 'Append' options in the FTP connection Parameters in the comm-channel?
    It is not an option to append the file in the FTP-server, because the files in the destination folder are moved immediately after arrival, so the file will be moved before file adapter can append all the files.
    Does anyone have any suggestions to how to solve this?

    Hi EveryBody,
    I have an IDOC to File Scenario.I need to create a flat file in the receiver file adapter directory and want to append the data in the same file every time the IDOC is trigged.I have File Construction Mode as Append but still i am not able to append the data.It gives the following error : <b>Message processing failed. Cause: com.sap.aii.af.ra.ms.api.RecoverableException: file already exists and must not be overwritten</b>

    Hi,
    In Order to Append the files do the following. It worked in my case.
    >change the file creation mode to create and select the check box for overwriting the file
    >After selecting the check box change the file creation mode to Append.
    You should be able to append the files now. Please award points if it works.

  • File adapter - APPEND not working

    Hi Everyone,
    I want to append a text file on the target side. I am using FCC on the receiver side and the file construction mode is "APPEND" and file type is "TEXT". When i test my scenario, the file gets created for the first time and for the next time onwards, I get an error : "Target file already exists and must not be overwritten".
    Kindly help me to solve this issue.
    Thanks,

    Check the below thread for the same:
    Have you checked overwrite box?
    It should be checked as well, and also check for necessary authorizations for this.

  • Append functionality in Outbound File Adapter

    Hi all,
    I have a question regarding append functionality in outbound file adapter.
    When I append files for example I get a XML file with different XML files in one file, but is it also possible to collect and bundle the files and get a same result when u use BPM?
    Do I have to add some parameters?
    Kind regards,
    Kamran Vakili

    It is not possible, when you append XML files.
    The result XML file is not valid, as you have multiple declarations and root tags.
    The append mode for the file adapter should be used only for flat files.

    Hi,
    To write a file in append mode, you need to add one line in wsdl file.
    Make an entry with Append="true"
    inside <jca:operation> tag found in wsdl file, created after Write file adapter.
    <jca:operation
    PhysicalDirectory="C:\TMP"
    InteractionSpec="oracle.tip.adapter.file.outbound.FileInteractionSpec"

    Hi,
    To have the data to be appended we should have File content conversion at the receiver.Otherwise there will be a conflict with the nodes.

  • Date and Time in Sender File Adapter Target Directory

    Hi there,
    is there a way of using Date and Time from XI to the Target Directory naming? To use variable substitution some fields of the message had to contain that date and time information, which is not our case.
    For filename you can use "add time stamp" option, but and for target directory?
    Thanks and regards,
    Henrique.

    Hi there, Moorthy
    We've tried to write that shell script that you mentioned, but now we have a few doubts on how to make it create the proper directory.
    In the file adapter, my target directory is "/%var1%/%var2%/", where %var1% and %var2% are variable substitutions, referencing data which comes from the payload. Now, I need the shell script to append "/<Year>/<Month>/" in the target directory. But where to archive the script? If it stays in the root directory, than how to make it create "/<Year>/<Month>/" folders inside a directory which is variable (/%var1%/%var2%/)?
    Is there a way of passing %var1% and %var2% as parameters for the shell script?
    Thanks a lot,
    Henrique.
