Archive processed files at receiver file adapter

Hi Experts,
I need to archive(copy) processed messages from the target folder to another folder.
I tried using the Run OS Command after processing and not sure with the exact command.
Can anyone please provide the exact command (syntax) for copying file from the target file folder to another folder.
Do we need any authorization from BASIS team to perform this command in run OS Commandline please.
Note: the original file should not be deleted.
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Mahakrishnan T.

hi Mahakrishnan Thangam,
I used the OS command feature where FTP is not used and it worked in the way I already posted. When it comes to FTP in receiver file adapter you need a batch file and a script both on PI server. The script will function as follows
1. Login to FTP server.
2. change to target folder you specified in target directory in cc.
command: cd foldername
3.Read the file created by receiver file adapter in remote FTP location. File will be copied to local directory of PI server.
command: get filename
4. Now again change remote directory to archive directory.
5. Copy the file back to FTP server again from local directory to archive directory you want to copy to.
Now from batch file call this script.
Would suggest to read these links carefully

Alter algorithms to meet your requirement.
Hope this solves your problem.

0 byte txt file using receiver File Adapter

HI,
My scenario is Flat File to Fixed Length File.
Mapping : Based on the condition Reciever node need to generated , In some cases it wont generate any node ( No data )
Receiver Communication channel : I used FCC for Fixed length Format.
Problem : When i am generatingf the receiver file with some data it executes. But when i am generating the file with no data , it fails in the receiver comminication channel.
Could not process due to error: java.lang.Exception: Exception in XML Parser (format problem?):'java.lang.Exception: Message processing failed in XML parser: 'Conversion configuration error: Unknown structure 'ns0:Message1' found in document', probably configuration error in file adapter (XML parser error)'
I need the receiver file to generate with 0 bytes when there is empty data.
can any one help on this.
Thanks

Hi,
>>Problem : When i am generatingf the receiver file with some data it executes. But when i am generating the file with no data , it fails in the receiver comminication channel.
What happens in this case is, when you send a blank file to PI it processes but once it went to Receiver Adapter, it looks out for some fields because of the FCC settings. So it throws an error/exception because some fields are expected and it is not coming. Because of that you getting below exception.
Secondly, Once you send data with few values or fields it will process in Receiver file adapter FCC and if there is some error it throws error. this is why you getting exception in moni, and other places.

How to create multiple files with Receiver File Adapter in SAP PI 7.31 Java Stack

Dear Friends,
I am using Sender JDBC Adapter and Receiver File Adapter in Integration Flow in SAP PI 7.3 EHP 1 SP08 Java Stack environment. The requirement is that we need to create multiple files based on the row count in jdbc resultset. If there are 5 rows in resultset, we need to create 5 XML files with one row elements in one file. Similarly if there are 10 rows, we need to create 10 XML files.
So how can we create multiple files in this scenario. I tried placing a for loop in the Java Mapping as below in the transform method:
DynamicConfiguration conf = arg0.getDynamicConfiguration();
StringBuffer sbFileData = new StringBuffer();
for (int i =0; i < record.size(); i++ {
 . // Create XML for each row and Marshal the object into to the String Buffer
 String strFileName = "DC_" + new SimpleDateFormat("ddMMyyyyHHmm").format(new java.util.Date())+"_"+i+".xml";
 conf.put(KEY_FILENAME, strFileName);
 arg1.getOutputPayload().getOutputStream().write(sbFileData.toString().getBytes("UTF-8"));
 arg1.getOutputPayload().getOutputStream().flush();
So here I'm flushing the OutputStream for each record. But it's not creating the multiple file, instead it creates only one file will all record XMLs appended to each other.
Please let me know if I missing something or need to do some thing else.
Regards,
Shreyansh Shah

Hi
You can easily achieve this using graphical mapping. Create your target message type like below
MT_Target
Details 0 to 1
 Data 0 to 1
Source sample structure
<resultset>
<row>
<column-name>column-value</ column-name>
</row>
Then do the message mapping like below
map <row> with MT_Target
contant ----> Deatils
column-name ------>Data
In the signature tab of message mapping, choose the occurrence of your target message type as
0 to unbounded.
This will generate multiple files from multiple rows.
Let me know if you have any doubt.

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?

When to use "Use Temporary File" in receiver FTP adapter

Hi Experts,
I have nerver used "Use Temprary File" as the "Write Mode" in receiver ftp adapter.
I want to knwo under what kind of requirment we should use this option?
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards,

Hi Aditya
Usually it's advisable to use "use temporary file" as write mode when you want to avoid your file to be picked up by receiver while PI channel is still writing it.
Obviously larger the file, more chances you have that this issue could occur.
If you select the "use temporary file", XI will write the content to a temporary file with another name of your choice and only once writing has finished it will rename it to the actual name setup in the "file name scheme".

Giuseppe

Problem in Overwriting the file in Receiver File adapter

Hi all,
I configured my scenario Proxy to File. Every day the back ground job runs in SAP and send all Employee Details to XI, XI then write it into File in XI server, in Receiver File adapter i enable overwrite existing file.
But some times its over writing the file some times came up with error like "Access Denied".
Can any one tell me what could be the problem.
Kind Regards,
Kiran

> But some times its over writing the file some times
> came up with error like "Access Denied".
This can be a Authorization problem...may be at that time you are unable to write any file in that directory..or some other application is using it and it make a lock at that time.
Thanks

Generating HTML Files via RECEIVER File Adapter

Hi All,
I have the Following Scenario:
R/3 ( ABAP Proxy ) -
>XI------>HTML Files ( File Adapter ).
Basically I would like to generate, HTML files out the RECEIVER File Adapter. How can this be achieved?
I have invested some time in thinking about a adapter module, which can do this? Any Blogs would be Helpful here.
Is there any alternative way?
Any Blogs or help Links would be appreciable.
Thanks in advance,

'Use Temporary File' in Receiver File channel

hi all,
I am facing a strange issue with receiver file channel which I am not sure if somene had already faced. I couldnt find any help from blogs..!
I have configured the Receiver File channel with Write mode as 'Use Temporary File' with a temporary file name(say tmp.xml) scheme and Empty-Message Handling set to 'Write Empty File'
When the scenario is executed, its so happening that the temporary file of 0 bytes(empty file) is being created as tmp<msgID>.xml before the actual file is being completely written. It is expected that once the Actual file is completely written, the tmp file should be deleted, but here is not the case.Thus causing both the files being present in the target location. This is not happening often though.
As the receiving application is processing all files from the target direcotry, the file is getting errored out in the target application.
I think the 'Write Empty File' has nothing to do with this as the option 'Write Empty File' is for empty payloads resulting from the message mapping.
Please correct me if am wrong and also provide me the inputs on my issue. Am on PI7.0
thanks in advance,

Hi Tilak,
this is real time interface
real time by using a file... that's a non-sens according to me. You should use a non physical solution (web service, JMS, JDBC, etc...) but a not a file. well... Anyway, you can image that the receiver application schedule the folder every 30s or every 1min, that's almost a real time. Real time is mainly a conceptual view (only synchronous exchange needs really real time). Morevoer, if you really wanted a real time, you should not add a tool like PI (or other) between your source and your target system, the more we have systems, the less it's efficient (in term of delay and response time!).
Even if we propose that the receiver application should have a condition to its script to avoid picking the tmp*.xml files, after a period of time there would be a chance that the *tmp files may increase in number..
No ! coz if my theory is good, if your receiver application does not pick-up tmp.xml, that means this file is not currently treated and so PI is authorized to delete it. So no increase of tmp.xml files in this folder.
Another solution: to create the target file without option "temporary", but to create it in another folder than this one scheduled by your receiver application, and use an OS command AFTER processing, in your receiver CC, which move the created file from the "temp" folder to the target folder.

Mutiple sender files and receiver files with different file names

Hi All,
Following is my scenario: File (FTP) --> XI --> File (NFS actually SAP system)
I have 5 source files like ABC1_DateTimeStamp, ABC2_DateTimeStamp, ABC3_DateTimeStamp, ABC3_DateTimeStamp and ABC3_DateTimeStamp.
I can use single sender file FTP adapter with file name ABC* which picks up all 5 files, but can I use single receiver adapter to create 5 different files with the following file names: ABC1, ABC2, ABC3, ABC3 and ABC3 ?? And last 2 files (ABC3 and ABC3....same name) should be created after 30min and 60min of first ABC3 file. We have to do this because we have jobs scedule on SAP side with variants having file names.
Is it possible to achieve using single sender/receiver file adapter??
If not any suggestions how to do this scenario??
Thx
Navin

Navin,
I doesn't know whether its feasible for you or not. Please see the below option
Create 3 Sender comm.channels and 1 Receiver comm.channel. In Sender /Receiver file adapter check the Adapter Specific Message attributes.
I'm suggesting the soln using BPM.
In IR, Create 3 Outbound Interface (Abstract) and create 1 Inbound Interface(Abstract).
First 2 comm.channel and 2 Oubtound interface refers to file 1 & file2 respectively.
The 3rd comm.channel and 3 Outbound interfaces refers to file3 & file4& file 5 .
Please see the BPM design.

Note : Navin the above suggestion is my thought, I think it will work. U can juz give a try.

How to ignore the empty file using Receiver file adapter with Coma separato

Hi,
I am trying to create the .csv file at the receiver but when there is no data I wan to ignore the file even I do not want to create the file with comma also (I just went and check in my file system created with commas)
Source1 -> T1
 T1
 -> S1
 ->Field1
 -> Field2
Because I am using receiver side FCC populating with empty node
Based on condition T1 is populating when condition fails I am populating target T1 and structure elements are mapped with constant.
Ex: Target payload when condition failed below data is populating ..
In this I want to ignore creating the file.
<T1>
<S1>
<Field1/>
<Field2/>
</S1>
</T1>
Here Is the my content conversion parameters,
S1.fieldNames - Field1,Field2
S1.fieldSeparator - ,
S1.endSeprator u2013 u2018nlu2019
I used processing tab u2018Ignoreu2019 option id did not worked. Appreciate your help.

File To File Scenario - Receiver Channel Adapter Module

Hello,
We have PI 7.4 in our landscape.
There is one File To File scenario which needs to be implemented.
In this scenario, at source diretory we have multiple files (country wise) which needs to be read and put into mutiple folders (country wise) at the target directory.
Please note we are not making any objects in ESR and directly configurations need to be done in Integration Directory.
At sender side we can read mutiple files using a single Sender File adapter using the the "Advanced Selection for Source File" option.
At receiver side we are planning to implement a custom Adapter Module which will put the files in their corresponding country wise folders.
We are using NWDS 7.3 EHP 1 SP12 for building the adapter module.
Suggestions are required for below mentioned points:
1. Is the approach follwed is most suitable as we do not want to make mutiple reciever channels for each folder.
2. How to read the file name in the receiver adapter module as Namespace will not be created (we will put a dummy namespace in ID).
3. If any body has already implemented such logic or any suggestions for the same.
All the suggestions are welcome and thanks in advance.
Regards,
Ujjwal Kumar

Hi Ujjwal
Yes, that is the correct namespace as long as you are using the File adapter.
Your code is nearly there, just need the new keyword when creating a new object instance. Below is the sample
// Get Dynamic Configuration
MessagePropertyKey fileNameKey = new MessagePropertyKey("FileName", "http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File");
String fileName = msg.getMessageProperty(fileNameKey);
// Set Dynamic Configuration
String targetDir = "/blah/blah/blah";
MessagePropertyKey dirKey = new MessagePropertyKey("Directory", "http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File");
msg.setMessageProperty(dirKey, targetDir );
You can refer to the following SAP JavaDocs for more infomration on the Message class (which you use to get/set the property)

Regarding .trg file from receiver file adapter

Hi,
My scenario is IDOC to File.
i am using file adapter at receiver side. My client want me to generate .trg file at the end once i create .dat file. After that one .net program will run and it will check for .trg file and will pick up the .dat file with the same name. They want me to do this because other applications also creating .trg file.
They are saying that C#.net program should not pick the file before XI completes writing the file fully.
( .net we may have option to check whether any other aplication is locked the file, but they dont want to use that ).
My question is, do we really need to create .trg file. What is the posibility of the .dat file being picked by C#.net program before XI completes writing the file fully if we dont use .trg file.
Will the file visible for .net program before file fully wirten to the share folder. How file adapter works?
Will it create a file and keep on appending the lines? OR it will write everyting at a shot?

HI Ashok,
You need to create two fiels .dat and .trg but should be in sequence.
Either you can add the simple BPM i.e. Receiver step and two send steps in sequence then it will resolve the purpose.
OR
make the external control on communication channel to be activate in pre-defined sequence so 1st Dat file will be created and then .trg file.
You can even schedule the communciation channels accordingly, this way you can add multiple receivers with scheduling
Thanks

Add header line to the text file in receiver file adapter

Hello Experts,
I have to add a new line to the text file generated at the receiver end.
My structure is
Record
 Item......0-unbounded
 field1
 field2
 field3
I have defined below parameters in receiver FCC.
RecordSet Structure : Record,Item
Item.fieldSeparator : ;
Record.fieldSeparator : nl
Record.endSeparator : '0x0D''0x0A' ( this is to get a carriage return at the end of the file)
Item.addHeaderLine : 1
With the above configuration, i am getting the desired output with NO header line.
Please help.
Thanks,
Swetha.

Hi, it looks like that the headerline "specification is only permitted if exactly one structure is defined." Please check [SAP help under Define Parameters for Recordset Structures|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw73/helpdata/en/44/686e687f2a6d12e10000000a1553f6/frameset.htm].
One solution would be to generate the header fields in the message payload. Generate an additional first line containing the header names, e.g.
<Item>
<field1>Header1
<field2>Header2
<field3>Header3

Receiver file adapter archiving

Is there any mechanisam to archive the files at receiver file adapter?

Hi Praveen,
Use file adapter to put the file into the archive directory and use the above mentioned OS commands in "Execute OS commands after message processing" section of Receiver file adapter.. so your file will be placed in archive folder and then copied to actual folder.
This process is followed so as to make sure that you have the receiver file archived.. suppose you have a receiver process which will read the output of PI and delete the file .. then just to make sure we have a copy in the archive location we are first putting the file in archive directory and then copying it to the correct location

Suraj
