ASMA parameters in file adapter

Hi experts,
Please explain when exactly we will get the requirement to use ASMA attributes in file adapter and provide few examples?

HI,
Just to add a quick note, in the case of adapter like File Adapter you have the option in the Sender / Receiver File Adapter to select the ASMA and the corresponding Attribute ( eg : FileName, Directory etc ) to be used from the SOAP Header.
In the case of few other adapters like SOAP, you do not have such explicit option. You add the ASMA to the SOAP Header using a UDF and you just select ASMA and Varibale Transport Binding in the Receiver SOAP adapter and all the SOAP Adapter value are replaced with header ASMA.
Each adapter has a few specific ASMA and these can be seen along with the technical names while trying to set some condtion in the Condition Editory under Context Objects.
If we check ASMA of file adapter ......all the information corresponding to that attributes will be available in the SOAP header
Every adapter has a defined set of attributes, which are described individually as part of the configuration for each of the adapters. So these attributes would be visible. And better to call it Message Header instead of SOAP header.
If we check ASMA in the receiver file adapter then receiver file adapter will pick those values from the SOAP header and will assign to the target file.
Yes, if mapping of these attributes are done.
Even we can directly set the target file name by accessing the system parameters through UDF.
Yes

Hi Experts,
               i had a requirement where i am having a nested structure on fcc side.Ingeneral we can specify the keyfield parameter as

File Adapter - Content conversion parameters at Receiver

Hi all,
I'm trying to translate a XML message to a text line file.
My XML message is this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ns1:Proveedor_100011 xmlns:ns1="http://sap.com/xi/webservices/buyordint">
<config>
<directory>c:/tmp</directory>
<filename>dynamicFile3.txt</filename>
</config>
<root><string>Header;423423</string>
<lines>
<value>LINE;</value>
</lines>
</root>
</ns1:Proveedor_100011>
I only want to write to text file the "root" TAG content.
I try different "Content conversion parameters" in the integration builder (configuration)
For example:
RecordSet Structure: root
root.addHeaderLine 0
root.fieldSeparator ;
root.endSeparator ;
but the better result is all XML content.
Can someone tell me how to skip "Config" TAG and only write the "ROOT" one?
I'll apreciate any help.
Thanks in advance,
Diego.

Receiver file adapter parameters

Hi ALL,
In FTP connection parameters which User Name and password we have give and from whom we should take it ...we have take this password from basis?
Regards
Ganaga

Hi,
Incase if you are using the FTP file adapter, you should probably have the following details
FTP hostname/IP address
FTP port (if default 21)
User name
Password
Source/Target directory from where the file needs to picked/delivered
Incase if the FTP server has anonymous login then you need not provide the user name and password for the ftp connection parameters

Passing mulitple parameters to unix shell script via File adapter

Hi,
I have the following usecase.
I have a set of files A, B, C, D etc in a directory dir. I also have a EOT ( end of transaction file).
I need to merge this file once the EOT file is present in XI application server ( using NFS with File adpter).
I have a script which can take the following paramters:
1. EOT file name
2. File names for A,B,C,D
3. Directory names.
Is it possible to send muliple parameters to the unix script from the File adapter?
please share any blogs which do so.
Thanks in advance,
Best Regards
Abhishek

Hi,
You can always call script from file adapter using "OS command" functionality, pass additional parameter like you do in unix for existing script (exact command which you type on unix prompt).
Adapter will simply pass your OS command to operating system, so from XI point of view nothing is changed and it is your script which should take care of parameters.

Gourav

File adapter parameters

Hi Experts,
In file adapter, in file access parameter what is sourse directory , file name?
and in processing parameter what is archive directory?
i gone through the IDOC-File scenario PDFS but still confused
suppose iam sending file from legasy system to XI and XI converting it to IDOC here,
the sourse dierectort is path of XI system where sourse file is located or is the location where the result file is stored and what is archive directory
Thanks for your time
Regards
niru

hi,
In file adapter, in file access parameter what is sourse directory
this is the address for the source file where it is placed.
if u r using NFS protocol please change \ to /.
the file name must be same as the sender file name.
in the receiver file adapter the
you need to give the address for the target directory where u want to put the target file

Email attachment name in sender mail adapter to the receiver file adapter

HI ,
Ths is regarding email to file scenario. I am trying to create file (in rceiver file adapter) with the same name as the email attachment that i read from mail sender adapter. I want ro use adapter module for this. I could find from blogs that there is module - GetAttachmentName - available that i can use for this in sender mail adapter.
Can you please let me know what whetehr i neeed to mention any module key and parameters for this.
I assume , i need to do following steps :Please confirm.
1. i can use this module - after payload swap module and before standard mail adapter module in sender mail adapter
2. select ASMA option in advanced tab in sender mail adapter
3. In receiver file adapter select ASMA option in advanced tab in sender mail adapter
4. Also select file name option in ASMA in sender mail adapter
Thanks,
Vamsi

Hi Vamsi,
your scenario is also described here: Re: sender mail adapter - attachment name
If you use the Module getAttachmentName, which is described here,
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/XI/AdapterModulePI7.0GetAttachmentName
your scenario should work as you described it.
You just need to make sure that the Attachment Name that you read in the first place, is mapped to the Filename Attribute of the
Fileadapter (http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File/FileName).
regards,
Daniel

File adapter specific message attributes

Hi,
If we check ASMA of file adapter ......all the information corresponding to that attributes will be available in the SOAP header. If we check ASMA in the receiver file adapter then receiver file adapter will pick those values from the SOAP header and will assign to the target file.
Even we can directly set the target file name by accessing the system parameters through UDF.
please correct me if my understanding is wrong.

Configurig FCC in Receiver File Adapter

Dear All,
It is a IDOC to FILE Structure where after mapping there are only two fields in the target structure and the occurrence is only once.
The two fields are - filename and data
 <Message>
 <filename>brand0412</filename>
 <data>CO BLUE ALTERNATE Y</data>
 </Message>
I would like to create a text file with the following requirements:
 1) the name of the text file -> value of field filename -> brand0412.txt
 2) the content of the text file should be -> the value of the data field -> CO BLUE ALTERNATE Y
i.e.
File name - brand0412.txt
Content - CO BLUE ALTERNATE Y
What are the parameters I should use for FCC?

Hi Rana,
You can use DynamicConfiguration to name the text file. You can find the Dynamic configuration UDFs on SDN. Here are few , modify as per your requirement.
Target file name using Dynamic Configuration
SAP XI Dynamic Configuration - Code Gallery - SCN Wiki
Dynamic File Name - UDF
Map as below :
Filename -> DynamicConfiguration UDF ->TargetMessage
Your target structure will look like
 <TargetMessage>
 <Message>
 <data>CO BLUE ALTERNATE Y</data>
 </Message>
 </TargetMessage>
Select FileName in ASMA properties in receiver adapter.
Once you have done this , configure the receiver adapter using FCC parameter. refer below.
XI/PI: File Content Conversion for Simple Structure

FileName in Sender File Adapter Module

Hi Folks,
In my sender file adapter have written a module to read the picked file name. The protocol used is NFS.
Notice that the file name read in the module has the absolute path, including the directory path. E.g The file name xyz has to be picked from source directory
XIServer\Outbound. In the module when I retrieve the file name, it comes up as
XIServer\Outbound\xyz. Is this expected behaviour?
I was expecting just the file name<xyz> to be retrieved.
Thanks,
Anand

HI,
Create an UDF and write this code.
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container.getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key =
DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File","FileName");
String ourSourceFileName = conf.get(key);
return ourSourceFileName;
in Adapter u will have Adapter specific parameters check the file name check box.
Using this UDF u will get the file name at target side.
Regards,
Phani.
