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.

TargetFilename in the Outbound File Adapter

Hi all,
I have created an interface that sends projects form SAP PS (by tRFC) to a file directory (using an outbound file adapter). Each project is created as a individual file. All this works well, but the filenames created for the files are not very intuitive for the users looking at the files at the receiver point since there are quite a lot of similar files only distinguished from each other by a timestamp (usualy only separated by milliseconds).
Is there a way to make the file adapter append data from one XML tag in the file name? I.e:
file.TargetFilename='<project></project>'.txt
file.writeMode=addTimeStamp
giving i.e a file '1234567_timestamp.txt'
This way I can include i.e. the project number + timestamp as filename making it user friendly for the people using the files.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Best Regards

HI
Read the file without using key field. Just define the FCC parameters Header and Items PI will pick the file.
DT_Source
 Record
 Header 0..1
 PO_Number String 0..1
 Items 0..unbounded
 Items String 0..1
Do the FCC
Header.fieldnames PO_Number
other config for Header
Items.fieldnames Items
other config for items
Thanks

Dynamic file names in outbound file adapter

I have to configure a flow in XI system wich takes an input file from one machine and after mapping process leaves the output file in target machine with the same name of input file.
Name of input file won't be always the same (*.dat) so i cannot hardcode this name in outbound file adapter.
Does anyone know how to transfer input filename from inbound file adapter to XI message and then to outbound file adapter?
I know there is an option to create dynamic file names in file adapter but i think it isn't enought to solve my problem.

Get the filename after an outbound file adapter operation

Hello,
I am calling an outbound file adapter operation in BPEL (10.1.3.3) - using a filename mask with a sequence (i.e. po_%SEQ%.xml). I would like to provide the filename created at run-time (i.e. po_123.xml) to my BPEL process so I can send this in an e-mail. Is this possible?
Thanks in advance!
Rod

Well, I took a different approach - which looks like it will work. Instead of letting the adapter decide the filename - I'm generating that in BPEL and passing that to the adapter using the header variable. So ... nevermind. ;-)

OutBound File Adapter Issue

Hi,
I need some help in configuring file adapters:
Process: I have a inbound adapter where i am feeding 4000 - 5000 rows of data from a flat file. I use these records to query a database and get response. I have a outbound file adapter where I write database response to a file.
Problem: I have set the, write new file to 100 records. But if there are 3950 records going to outbound file adapter, It is only writing 3900 records in the output file directory.
I need to write all records to the file. Please help me achieve this.
Thank You
Anil

Hi,
the batching criteria (100) is not met.
You could improve the bahaviour by setting "Elapsed Time Exceeds" parameter, but still, there are some probs because critaria is only evaluated on invocation (anyone has an answer to that?!):
from Doc:
Elapsed Time Exceeds: Specify a time which, when exceeded, causes a new outgoing file to be created.
Note:
The Elapsed Time Exceeds batching criteria is evaluated and a new outgoing file is created, only when an invocation happens.
For example, if you specify that elapsed time exceeds 15 seconds, then the first message that is received is not written out, even after 15 seconds, as batching conditions are not valid. If a second message is received, then batching conditions become valid for the first one, and an output file is created when the elapsed time exceeds 15 seconds.

Appending data in receiver file adapter

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 : Message processing failed. Cause: com.sap.aii.af.ra.ms.api.RecoverableException: file already exists and must not be overwritten

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.

Outbound File Adapter

Hi,
 We are working on idoc->file scenario. The target file structure used for mapping is as follows.
DT_XXX
 |___HEADER 1..1
 |___RESPONSE 1..1
 |___TROUT 1..1
 |___TRANS 1..1
 | |___TRANS_REJ 0..UNBOUNDED
 |___METER 0..UNBOUNDED
 | |___MET_REJ 0..UNBOUNDED
 |___TRAILER 1..1
The expected file format is like,
HEADER,1,1,1
RESPN,2,2,2
TROUT,3,3,3
TRANS,4,4,4
TRNRJ,5,5,5
TRNRJ,6,6,6
METER,7,7,7
METRJ,R,R,R
METRJ,R,R,R
METER,8,8,8
METRJ,R,R,R
METRJ,R,R,R
TRAIL
But the problem is like after TRANS,4,4,4 is written the file adapter is not knowing TRNRJ,5,5,5 is its child. But TRNRJ,6,6,6 is being written in a new line. The same case with Meter also.
we have given in the file adapter content conversion parameters as
DT_HEADER.fieldNames
DT_HEADER.fieldSeparator
DT_HEADER.endSeparator
DT_HEADER.keyFieldValues for each and every node in the target structure given above
Can somebody pls throw some light into the same???
Thanks in advance
Jayakrishnan

Hi
 We are getting the file as follows:
HEADER,1,1,1
RESPN,2,2,2
TROUT,3,3,3
TRANS,4,4,4,TRNRJ,5,5,5(b4 TRNRJ one new line should come)
TRNRJ,6,6,6
METER,7,7,7,METRJ,R,R,R(b4 METRJ one new line should come)
METRJ,R,R,R
METER,8,8,8,METRJ,R,R,R(b4 METRJ one new line should come)
METRJ,R,R,R
TRAIL
Thanks

Soa Suite: How to limit Outbound File Adapter retry to write to specified location.

Hi all,
I have created a file adapter that tries to write files to the specified location.
If location is wrong, I was expecting to get an error.
But none is generated.
It seems that the service keeps on trying to write to the specified location until it finds it (which is never to happen).
Please tell if I am wrong at this.
I want my service to stop retrying after a period of time or after a number of retries or whatever is happening.
I want to get error if location is wrongly specified.
Regards and thanks in advanced,

Hi,
Place the receive (or invoke) in a Scope and place a OnAlarm on the scope.
Set the OnAlarm to a max timeout. When the OnAlarm is reached the sequence of that OnAlarm will catch the transaction and you can throw an Error.
You can then catch or retrow the error.
Below some images that show the concept on a receive (download to view).

- OnAlarmSettings

Hi,
In your case, to write any data to a file, you need to define/use a schema when you are using a file adapter.

OSB 10.3.1 Outbound File Adapter

Hi,
We have a requirement like, the service will receive an attachment (excel sheet and pdf files) file and store that file in the server.
We have created a business service of Messaging service with input as binary and out as none, and we are invoking the business service from a proxy service though a route-node.
Our problem, while writing to the file the MIME headers are also going into the file, and the file is not opening using MS Excel or Adobe Reader.
Please suggest me a wayout.

If you want to do this for marking a non responseive uri offline by the operational support , you can let osb automate this for you.

Unable to open file created by outbound file adapter

Hi,
I have a requiement for polling data from 3 different tables, mergind=g them and writing all data into a flat file in CSV format. However, I see that I'm unable to open the file with my personal UNIX credentials, since the file is getting written by the SOA UNIX credentials.
Is there any way to set the default permissions on the server so that the file is accessible to other users as well.
Any insight would be appreciated, I'm quite stumped with this. My working environment is SOA Suite 11.1.1.5 running on OEL 5
Thanks,
Debojit

Hi,
In my view this can be sorted out at a operational system level, if you set 'umask 2' for the SOA user (the user that is starting the SOA servers and writing the files) then files created by that user will allow rights for users in the same group. So, you will need to add the group id from the SOA user to your user groups.
It may be a little bit confusing, the link bellow explain how permissions work in a Unix system.

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 - 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.
