Archive File --File Adapter

Hi All,
I am using file adapter to Archive File. In Processing mode i have set as Archive and also selected the Add Time stamp checkbox.
Now the file is being archived with timestamp being added.
EX :
20061204-143518-299abc.txt
I want to send the file name in a mail.
how do i get the file name.
Regards,
rahul
ps : In the SOAP message payload there is a entry ..
SAP:PerformanceHeader xmlns:SAP="http://sap.com/xi/XI/Message/30">
- <SAP:RunTimeItem>
<SAP:Name type="ADAPTER_IN">INTEGRATION_ENGINE_HTTP_ENTRY</SAP:Name>
<SAP:Timestamp type="begin" host="xidev">20061204090518.299</SAP:Timestamp>
</SAP:RunTimeItem>
that timestamp actually represents the file name.

Rahul,
Can you give more details?
You can access the file name in the mapping if you are SP14 and above.
In the sender File adapter, select File name and then in the mapping use the following code to get the file name,
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container
    .getTransformationParameters()
    .get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create(
    http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File,
    FileName);
String fileNanme = conf.get(key);

Archiving TXT files in Sender File Adapter--Unformatted Way

Hello,
I am Archiving TXT files thru Sender file adapter, files are getting archived to specified directory.No issues in that.,
When i open the archived files, those are not in the correct format way that i placed before file pickup.
Header & lines got messed up side by side.
Regards

Hi,
If the file that it being archived is not transformed, it should exactly be the same as the original file.
Please make sure that you are not transforming the archive file by any means(unix script, mapping logics etc).
As suggested above, it is advisable to open the file in the editors like textpad, ultraedit etc. The difference in the alignment could be because of the notepad editor.
Try to open the original and archived files in any of those(textpad,ultraedit etc) editors and check.
Please let us know if you are still able to find the difference in the alignment.

Strange Problem in File Archiving - Sender FTP Adapter

Hi,
The scenario is file to IDOc. XI has to read the input file from client FTP server and archive it to XI local file server.
File is archived properly without FCC (for xml files). But with FCC, the sender FTP adapter is archiving empty files (0 kb files) not the original file with data.
I've checked SXMB_MONI, even there I can see the file data and the IDoc is getting posted with proper data. But, the archived file is empty. Not sure about the problem.
Please suggest. Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Joe.

Hi,
I've already tried archiving the file to the FTP server itself, it's working fine (even with FCC). But, when I try to archive it to the XI server (read from FTP and archive at XI server), it's writing empty file to the XI archive directory. I'm using PI 7.0 SP 14. My sender FTP adapter dtls follow
Data Connection: Passive
Timeout Secs: 500
Connect Mode: Permanently
Transfer Mode: text and binary tried both
File type: text and binary tried both..
Looking out for a solution.
Thanks,
Joe.

File sender adapter (FTP) - processing mode "Archive"

Hello all
We're polling files from an external FTP server. For this I created a scenario on XI according to this thread:
When setting processing mode to "Archive" in the file sender adapter (ftp) it polls the file, stores it to the archive directory I specified and then tries to delete the file on the FTP server side. This returns me an error because we're not allowed to delete the retrieved files on the FTP server!
Because of this error the file adapter stops further processing and does not poll all the other files.
How can I disable this deletion mechanism while keeping processing mode to "Archive"?!?!?
We do not want to use processing mode "Delete" or "Test" and we don't see other options to influence this behaviour.
Thanks for any guideance on this one in advance!
Kind regards,
Renaud

Hi Bhavesh
Sorry for the late answer. Unfortunately I can't ask the application system to provide file names containing a timestamp within. The files are provided by an external partner and are retrieved by several others as well.
In the meantime I managed to achieve this:
In repository I created dummy data types, message types and message interfaces. No mapping programs and interface mappings!
In configuration I created the necessary communication channels (1 ftp sender, 1 file receiver) and the required receiver and interface determinations as well as the sender and receiver agreements.
The result of this is:
I'm able to poll some specific files via ftp from remote host. The file names are file1.arj, file2.arj, file3.arj and file4.arj. All 4 files have the same SourceFileTimestamp (e.g. "20060727T053900Z").
I'm able to store those 4 files 1:1 in a target directory with the same file names. Until here I did NOT need to follow this blog: <a href="/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/11/10/xi-the-same-filename-from-a-sender-to-a-receiver-file-adapter--sp14: The same filename from a sender to a receiver file adapter - SP14</a>.
As of this blog it is possible to access adapter specific attributes and make them available in message mapping using user defined functions. This way I'm able to get the SourceFileTimestamp from the polled files and use it in a message mapping. This way I'm also able to use it in variable substitution on file receiver adapter (syntax = "payload:root,1,fileTS,1") in order to dynamically create a directory with this syntax: YYYYMMDD.
So far so good... but the only remaining BIG problem now is, that as soon as the mapping is activated and assigned in the interface determination, the created files contain the XML payload instead of the original binary content. Where has it gone? How should the target message type look like so that it can carry over the original binary file content?
BTW: isn't it possible to post screenshots? Would be much more easier to explain things... so sorry to anyone if I wasn't clear enough!
TIA and best regards,
Renaud

Error Archiving File in File Sender Adapter using AF_Modules/PayloadZipBean

Hi everybody.
I have to pick a zip file up from ftp server, unzip an convert the file in xml.
Im using this modules in file sender adapter:
AF_Modules/PayloadZipBean --> To unzip de file
AF_Modules/MessageTransformBean --> file to xml
The problem is when I try to archive de file. Im getting this error and I dont know why (This path exists /out/ProcesadosSinError/)
Could not archive file 'test.zip' as '/out/ProcesadosSinError/20100518-091029-155_test.zip' after processing: java.io.FileNotFoundException: /out/ProcesadosSinError/20100518-091029-155_test.zip (A file or directory in the path name does not exist.)
Could it be that is not possible to archive with AF_Modules/PayloadZipBean?
Thank u so much

Absolutely. This path exists. It's an absolute path from root. I can´t understand the error!!!!
Thanks!!!

Sender File Adapter: Adapter Module to archive incoming file?

Dear experts,
I have ZIP files coming from an external system which a File Sender adapter picks up from the PI file system. I already added the PayLoadZipBean Module to unzip the file in order to be able to map the payload. It works fine.
Now in the tab "Processing" --> "Processing Mode" I have the option to choose "Archive" and give a path. That way I can archive them also on the PI file system.
But how could I choose an FTP location here? Can I or would I have to write an adapter module?
In case for an adapter module how do I access the incoming ZIP file? Any ideas?
Thank you for any help and best regards,
Peter

Hi Peter,
I'm afraid you are not fully right about the archiving. Choosing Processing Mode = Archive leads to the file being moved to a different directory once it is processed. According to SAP Help:
Processing Mode
○       Archive
Files that have been successfully processed are moved to an archive directory.
■       To add a time stamp to a file name, select the Add Time Stamp indicator.
The time stamp has the format yyyMMdd-hhMMss-SSS. The time stamp ensures that the archived files are not overwritten and it enables you to sort them according to the time that they were received.
■       Under Archive Directory, enter the name of the archive directory.
■       If you want to archive the files on the FTP server, set the Archive Files on FTP Server indicator. If you do not set the indicator, the files are archived in the Adapter Engine file system.
See here for further details:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/e3/94007075cae04f930cc4c034e411e1/content.htm

File Sender Adapter - File overwritting in the Archiving folder

Hello Experts,
I am doing File sender to proxy Receiver Async Scenario.
In File Sender adapter, i am using the Archiving option by spacifying the
Archiving path.
Files are picked up and archiving happen successfully.
Problem is: - once the File is picked up and archivied into the Archiving location
If end user again rectifies some data in the same file and place it in the source directory
then i am getting the following error in RWB Commu. channel monitoring.
Failed to archive file 'File1.TXT' as '/Input File location/File1.TXT' after processing. The FTP server returned the following error message: 'com.sap.aii.adapter.file.ftp.FTPEx: 550 File not renamed. File already exists. You may delete the existing file and then rename.u2019 For details, contact your FTP server vendor.
I know this is because of File sender adapter is trying to archive the file with the same name(File1.txt) in the archiving location.
My Question: - Is there any option to allow the File sender Adapter for overwritting the
File in the archiving location.
Thanks & Regards
Jagesh

check if there is proper rights to over write files in the archive folder.
The problem seems to be that the rights/authorization is not there. Else the adapter usually overwrites files in the archive folder unless you use the timestamp option.
Archive
Files that have been successfully processed are moved to an archive directory.
u25A0       To add a time stamp to a file name, select the Add Time Stamp indicator.
The time stamp has the format yyyMMdd-hhMMss-SSS. The time stamp ensures that the archived files are not overwritten and it enables you to sort them according to the time that they were received.
u25A0       Under Archive Directory, enter the name of the archive directory.
u25A0       If you want to archive the files on the FTP server, set the Archive Files on FTP Server indicator. If you do not set the indicator, the files are archived in the Adapter Engine file system.

Problem while archiving faulty files in File Sender Adapter

Hi All,
I am facing some problem while archiving the faulty files using Sender File adapter.
I have configured the option in the File Sender Channel to archive the files to some
other location. I have configured some custom modules inorder to perform conversion.
My file adapter is not archiving the faulty files. Please help me in this regard asap.
Best Regards,
Surya

I have checked with all the authorization issues. It is still no archiving the faulty file.
Can you please explain the mechanism behind this concept?
How File adapter will decide that it is faulty? On what basis?
How Modules play a role here?

Surya.

File Adapter - Archive Source Files with Errors.

Hi All,
Could you kindly give the steps as to how to configure sender File Adapter to archive source file which result in error ?.
Cheers,

Hi Kushi,
To configure Sender File Adapter what you can do is:
1. Create one Communication and select the adapter as File.
2. Select the radio button Sender.
3. Enter the source directory e.g. /temp
4.Enter File name e.g. xi_test.xml
5. Under Processing parameters Chose the processing mode as "Archive" from
drop down box.
6. Enter the path where you wnant to archive your file.
7. Do not forget to enter the poll intervells. e.g. 60 & Quailty of service "Exactly Once".
8. Enter file type "Binary" if your source file is XML.
9. Check if Adapter status as "Active".
Note: Archiving the file is regardless of erorr in file.
It will archive all the source file.

File sender adapter: archiving not possible with transp.prot "filesystem,

Hi XI gurus,
in my FILE sender adapter I want to archive the processed files to a separate sub-directory of the "in" directory.
It works if I use transport protocoll "FTP" with a specific user
but it don't works when I use transport protocoll "file system (NFS)".
the xi user has all permission on the directories.
file system is on a UNIX machine.
Has anybody an idea why archiving only works with transf.protocoll FTP ?
Thanx very much in advance

File adapter - Archive issue with adapter module

Hi All,
I have 2 issues here. We are currently using PI 7.11 EHp1 SP02.
1. Arhival with "add time stamp" wont work. It just gives us an error message saying simpledate format exception.
I have gone through the OSS note 1265534 and thought this will resolve the issue. But our BASIS team believes this note is only applicable for PI 7.1 SP01. Can you one using PI 7.11 SP02 comment on this?
Note: Archive option with out add time stamp works fine.
2. When I use adapter module in my sender file configuration, the archive option itself does not work. Read the official SAP help which says "To archive source files where a permanent error occurred during processing, set the indicator.
A permanent error occurs either during the conversion of the file content, or in a module in the module processor."
So the question here is, how do we make the error permanent? The only way to throw error from adapter module is using the ModuleException. It has 4 different constructors. I have used both
ModuleException me = new ModuleException ("My error Msg"); and
Module Exception me1 = new ModuleException ("Error String", new Throwable("My error Msg");
In both the cases, the archival wont happen.
Any ideas welcome.
Thanks
Jai

Hi,
I am using NFS protocol here not FTP. Sorry I dint mention that earlier.

Sender FTP Adapter - Archive faulty files not working

Hello,
We are on SAP PI 7.11 SP 06
We have a scenario where we are reading CSV files from a FTP location.
File Sender Adapter is polling the FTP location for CSV files, if there
is any error during FCC we need to move the faulty file under a
particular directory on FTP server.
Archive faulty files tick is click under the communication channel and
also the required directory is specified, but the functionality is not
working.
If there is a faulty file it is just adding a rejected prefix to the
file and keeping the file in the polling directory. It is not moving
the file in the rejected directory specified in the communication
channel.
Thanks & Regards,
Rahul Nawale

Are you trying to archive the file on the same FTP server or a different FTP server? Archiving the faulty file on the FTP server might not have expected results. And if you are trying to archive the file on a separate FTP server, it wouldn't probably be achieved using the simple file adapter functionalities.
The best way would be to archive the faulty files to an NFS location on your PI server (this will certainly work, even if it's FTP mode) and then use a separate script or PI interface (file tunneling) to move these files from PI server File System to FTP archive location.

FTP sender adapter archives empty files

Hi.
I have a strange problem with the ftp sender adapter.
I receive my file without problems, and the scenario works as it should.
The problem is with the archiving of my processed file.
It writes the file fine to the path specified, but it is empty (user has full file permissions)
The ftp adapter uses content conversion, and I have seen threads in the forum that tells about simular errors. But I have found no solution.
Hope someone can help here.
Regards...
Peter

File Content Conversion is usually associated with Receiver File/FTP adapters
and Archiving the source file is an option at the Sender File/FTP Adapter.
No, content conversion is used both in sender and receiver file/FTP adapters.
In my case, it is in a sender adapter!
I'm not sure what you mean when you said "The ftp adapter uses content conversion,..."
The sender FTP adapter content converts a flat file to XML format!
Can you let us know the details of your scenario?
Like who / what is the sender and who/what is the receiver system?
The scenario looks like this: "FTP -> XI -> RFC", but as mentioned before, the scenario works fine, the problem is in the FTP sender adapter that fails to save the archive file.
If I try to use the file/FTP sender adapter in "file mode", with the same parameters, the archive file is written just fine!

To much files in archive of file adapter

Dear all,
on a day in november the RWB and the sxmb_moni show about 150 messages that
have been processed by a sender file adapter.
On the file system we have two files (all in all 152) more in our archive for this day. Neither the day
before nor the day after have a different amount of messages so that the two message
could not be a problem of late processing (for example over midnight).
I also check that no empty files where in archive.
My question: What kind of problem could appear that a message get processed through file adapter and save
to archive folder but not getting processed by adapter engine or integration engine?
Thanks
Chris

Hi,
My question: What kind of problem could appear that a message get processed through file adapter and save
to archive folder but not getting processed by adapter engine or integration engine?
There can be few situations when this can happen.
For example - say you are sending out a proxy from PI to R3 / BW system. Your sender file channel will read and archive the file, but when the PI tries to generate the proxy, it encounters an error - "User is not authorized to process messages" ... Means, the id that PI is using to send and process the proxy in R3 is not having proper authorization.
But once you have fixed this problem, you can re-start the message from MONI in PI.
Similarly, there can be other cases when this situation can arise.
So, for those 2 extra archive files, you might be interested in checking the logs in MONI / RWB if any message went into error.

Neetesh

File sender adapter:FILE to IDOC without BPM, can't see in SXMB_MONI.

Hi all
I have a FILE - XI - IDOC Async scenario without BPM.
I configured FILE sender adapter and IDOC receiver adapter. I made a mapping to transfer file data to the structure of IDOC.
Now when i am trying to load the file using command prompt, i cud see nothing in the monitoring. Whereas if i go to the communication channel monitoring of runtime workbench, i saw that CC is polling correctly and was reading the file also.
And also wen i saw in the processed folder which i mentioned in the CC configuration for the ARCHIVE DIRECTORY, i saw that file got transferred to the folder also.
I don't understand why i cant see anything in the monitoring.
Could anybody help me to rectify the problem. Is there anything i m missing ?
Regards
Naina

Rajesh/Amar
TCode:: SXMB_ADM->Integration engine configuration->specific configuration->runtime
Trace_Level = 3 then you can get all MONI PIPELINE Steps also
I did this change but cudn't see anything in SXMB_MONI.
This is how i have configured my process:
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/XI/FiletoMultipleIDOCSplittingwithoutBPM
But instead of IDOC splitting i have simple FILE - XI -IDOC scenario.
I have configured everything exaclty the same way it is mentioned here. But for me the process is not visible at all.
I can't even see the first request message in the monitoring.
This is the message i can see in the communication channel monitoring:
2010-05-24 09:07:41 Success Channel CC_*: Entire file content converted to XML format
2010-05-24 09:07:41 Warning Channel CC_*: Empty document found. Proceed without sending message
2010-05-24 09:07:41 Success File "/xyz/ABC.txt" archived after processing
Is there any problem with the file and that could be the reason it cant convert the file to the request message MT_REQUEST and thus am not able to see anything in monitoring.
help me guys....this is a simple process and i m stuck...its frustrating

Naina

Is it possible get special file in file sender adapter?

Hi every SDNer.
I want to get special file. for example like PJ<today>_return.dat
Well, to paraphrase Marx, One folder has too many files. but I want one file in that folder.
The rule is simple. if today is 20/07/2007 then I get the file as "PJ20070720_return.dat".
How can i configuration File Sender Adapter?

Dont have an XI system in front of me, but if I recall correctly, your options are pretty limited. The list of parameters in Advanced Selection for Source File does not include a date Better selection parms with the receiver channels.
As such you may have to resort to writing a script on the OS that will do the following every minute... (basically run it more frequently than your channel)
- look in that directory through all the PJ* files containing date = 'today'
- rename the file to REAL_PJ_..... (for example)
In your channel, pick the file REAL* and archive accordingly so it's not picked again by your script.
If you find alternatives via cchannel - publish your results.
sincerely,
--NM
