Archiving directory:unknown

Please help.
Dilip

Hi SBK,
At os level permission of saparch is set to full.
When we try to click archive director status, it takes the path /oracle/P01/saparch/P01arch and showing status unknown and permission for both saparch and P01arch is full.
We can see the contents of other file through AL11, but path /oracle/P01/saparch and /oracle/P01/saparch/P01arch is not there(configured) in AL11.
Please suggest.
Regards,
Dilip

Status of archiving directory - Problem in T-Code - DB12

Hello Gurus,
in our server while we are run T-code - DB12 it gives us this following error
- Status of archiving directory - unknown
Status of SAPOSCOL is in running mode
in bottom Status Bar it is given
Show_directory_fill_status: function call control_perf_failed, return code 13
Can anybody give me the rectification
Thanks & Regards
Shishir

Hi Shishir,
Though SAPOSCOL is running, the function call could have failed for several reasons. You could look into SM21 or ST22 for details of its failure.
The other way to check the status of the archive directory is to go to OS level and check the space for that filesystem.
cd /oracle/<DBSID>/oraarch
df .

Archiving Directory Status Unknown in DB12

Hello All,
As we try to check the available space in Archiving Directory from DB12 it pops up saying "Unknown", I see that SAPOSCOL is running fine as all the statistics are getting updated in ST06 and as well Checked in OS07 it has the same name as in AL15.
Can some one tell me how to fix this, I have not tried restarting the SAPOSCOL from OS. Please some let me know how to fix this.
Thanks in Advance.
Cheers,
Sai

Hi Sudhir,
In our case restarting the SAPOSCOl solve the problem.
Please consider also to upgrade your SAPOSCOL version.

We are having SAP ECC 6.0 production server on Microsoft cluster.
in st06 I am able to see the free space status on each disk.

Please review OSS note 536954, which describes the setup of a separate cluster resource that DB12 will use. You may also need to review 657999 for DB13 operations.

How to monitor available disk space in archive directory

I need to monitor the available disk space of the archive directory during a long running PL/SQL program which does a lot of inserts and updates. This program is running in a background session and should regularly check for the available space. If there is less then a customizable number of MBs free the program must terminate itself. How can I access this information from the file system? (I'm using 8.1.6 and the application will run on both AIX and NT)

The directory itself is not taking space (It actually does but in most cases you can neglect its size). It is files that it has that take space. Also, the more files you create the more space gets allocates from the media that holds them. And the last, the media (Hard Drive, Floppy, or other) has free space, not directory. That is how all OS's that I know about work.

Reg:File adapter archive Directory

Dear team,
Our requirement is to read a csv file from a directory and archive the file in archive folder specified in the file adapter.
If any exception is caught,then we need to read the archieve file from archive directory rename the archive file with source file name and place it in source directory.
On the receive activity we are able to get the source file name and source file directory.
<receive name="Receive1" createInstance="yes"
variable="Receive1_Read_InputVariable" partnerLink="fileRead"
portType="ns1:Read_ptt" operation="Read">
<bpelx:property name="jca.file.FileName" variable="srcFileName"/>
<bpelx:property name="jca.file.Directory" variable="srcDrFolder"/>
How to get the archive file name and archive file directory from the receive activity so that we can store in local variables.
Pls do help.
Thanks

Hi,
Another way you can accomplish your scenario. Instead of deleting or archiving in beginning just move the file from inbound to archive location after business flow completion.
In case of error, the file will remain at original position as moving operation is at the end.
First read the file using read operation, then at the end create a file adapter with sync read operation. Change the entries in .jca generated with below sample.
Sample jca file.
<endpoint-interaction portType="SynchRead_ptt" operation="SynchRead">
<interaction-spec className="oracle.tip.adapter.file.outbound.FileIoInteractionSpec">

<property name="SourcePhysicalDirectory"
value="srcdir"/>
<property name="SourceFileName" value="abc.txt"/>
<property name="TargetPhysicalDirectory"
value="targetdir"/>
<property name="TargetFileName" value="abc.txt"/>
<property name="Type" value="MOVE"/>
</interaction-spec>
Then,in you bpel flow at the invoke for sync read add these two properties.
<bpelx:inputProperty name="jca.file.SourceFileName"
variable="varInputFileName"/>
<bpelx:inputProperty name="jca.file.TargetFileName"
variable="varArchiveFileName"/>
<bpelx:inputProperty name="jca.file.SourceDirectory"
variable="varInputDirectory"/>
<bpelx:inputProperty name="jca.file.TargetDirectory"
variable="varArchiveDirectory"/>

Regds : Read archive Directory

I want to read the archive directory name in sender file adapter at runtime in the message mapping?
Please suggest how can i achive this?

Want to read the archive directory name in sender file adapter at runtime in the message mapping?
Why?
For a given sender file channel, the Archive Directory is constant. One sender file channel can be used only in one Sender Agreement. That means for given combination Communication Component, Interface, Namespace there is only one Communication Channel (Archive Directory). These three variable can be accessed in UDF using
map = container.getTransformationParameters();
headerField = (String) map.get(StreamTransformationConstants.INTERFACE_NAMESPACE);
/* similarly Communication Component, Interface */
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/EN/43/09b16006526e72e10000000a422035/frameset.htm
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/EN/78/b4ea10263c404599ec6edabf59aa6c/content.htm
i.e. if this combination of Communication Component, Interface, Namespace then this is Archive Directory, if this combination of Communication Component, Interface, Namespace then this is Archive Directory.
Now we have 2 option:-
1. Hard code in UDF for this combination this is Archive Directory.
2. Store these values in a database (this combination this is Archive Directory) and access it in message mapping by database lookup.
There is other option, write a Adapter module, which populate the Archive Directory in SOAP header of messages in Adapter Engine. And access Archive Directory in UDF, similar to this http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/EN/78/b4ea10263c404599ec6edabf59aa6c/content.htm
. But, this option is not recommended as it is performance overhead, and as for a Communication Channel, Archive Directory will not change (we have to do manual edit), At least very less in production (we don't change it very day ).

FTPAdapter - logical directory name - file not moved to archive directory

I created a simple ftp service to read the file from remote inbound directory and archive it to an "archive" directory using logical directories. I supplied the input and archive directories. The process reads the file from the input directory, but doesnt move it to archive directory. In the opmn logs i see the following message
File Adapter::Outbound> Since file could not be copied to specified archive directory, file : CUST__20081113002951.xml is being copied to a default archive directory :/apps/oracle/product/10.1.3.1/OracleAS_1/j2ee/home/fileftp/defaultArchive/
I checked the a) directory permission - this is the ftp users home directory , so it has all the bits set rwxrxrx- I even tried rwxrwxrwx, but same issue
b) there is enough space on the box
c) I can manually move the files around as the same user.
Secondly, the files under the default archive directories are being created as root. Not sure why. Our server is running as "oracle" user.
We are on 10.1.3.4
any idea how to troubleshoot this ?
Edited by: user9514124 on Nov 13, 2008 5:27 PM

Just a thought. You are trying to archive to an FTP user's home directory. I assume that you want to archive remotely (on the source server)? If so you need to specify UseRemoteArchive="true" in the WSDL file for the adapter. If you forget that the adapter archives locallly on the SOA Suite server and perhaps there the directories are indeed missing or have the wrong rights?
If you are using remote archiving and it doesn't work, have you tried to login with an FTP client and upload a file to the archive folder with FTP (as the FTP adapter user)? That is what the FTP adapter will do.
If you are using local archiving, check all the parent directories and make sure that they are fine as well as the target directory. Also look into the file ownership issue, the files should not be created as root if everything really runs as oracle! Perhaps someone has accidentally started something as root?
Good luck!

Regrdin file transer from al11 to archive directory URGENT

HI ,
my actual require ment is
in BDC inbound interface i have to read data from applcation server .i did that.
but now i have to send that file to archive directory after succefully reading that.
can anybody help on this
wt is archive directory?
how to send that application server file to archive directary after succesfull reading it? .......
is there any function module for this....
wt is archive directory?

Hi,
An archive directory is just a concept where one directory on the operating system holds files that have been processed. You don't need to do anything special, either take the internal table you already have and write it to a file in this directory or call an operating system command to move the file.
You just need to find out for your system which directory is the archive directory.

Nick
P.S. Please consider the rules of the forum and do not mark your post as URGENT.

Problem in Placing the file in Archive directory

I am trying to read a file and after processing , I want to archive and place in other directory. Though i am able to read and insert the data succesfully into database but not able to place in 'Archive' Directory.
What might be the reason any idea???
I heard there is a bug in 10.1.3.3.0 version... Is this true???
Any help in this regard would be appreciated.
Thanks,

I don't think there is a bug related to this in 10.1.3.3
I am using SOA and JDeveloper 10.1.3.3 and its working fine
Are u checking the archive option in file adapter?( Check wsdl for entry)
Also are you giving the physical location or logical one?
try with physical path if u are not doing it already.
And also, i don't think files get archived after processing, they get archived at the same time the file adapter is in action.

Relation between DB Collector and Archive Directory

If archive directory could not be read, this would cause DB Collector error. Why so?
And in what condition will cause the archive directory to be not readable?
Thank you.

OS process "saposcol" is responsible to read this irectory.
if this does not work, this means that:
1. saposcol is broken
2. saposcol had problems with shared memory
3. saposcol has wrong permissions set
4. archive directory has wrong permissions

EDIFACT File TO IDOC Archive directory file name.

HI Experts,
I have EDIFACT file to IODC scenario. I have multiple source file locaiton but only one Archive location directory.But I have three different kind of file coming form three different location.
we can only have one archive directory per service, is it possible to manipulate the file name so we can tell if files were successful or failed?
For example, FileName1.txt, if it was successful, it would move to the archive directory and rename to u201CFileName1.txt.PASSu201D,
if it failed it would move to archive directory like u201CFileName1.txt.FAILu201D. Is this functionality possible?
Or will we just have to rely on Alert Categories to tell us when files have failed?
Kindly give your valuable suggestion.
Regards,
Sumit Gupta

When you say success or failure does it mean a successful IDoc created in SAP? if so you will have to use a BPM and on successful creation fo the IDoc write the file out with the PASS name else FAIL name.
you can also look at employing scripts but there is no standard feature for this requirement. I gather alert is a better option.
