Can a class or Module be executed before the sender File Adapter execute?

Hi
In case of sender adapter the module in the module processor gets executed after the adapter has performed its operation.
Is there a way I can execute the module before the sender adapter starts execution?
Or Is it possible to specify a java class to be executed before adapter, through configuration in the communication channel or some other way?
Thanks
Vijendra

HI Vijendra,
The File module adapter is the first one to get executed.
The only thing you can do is to run shell scripts if you have to do any activity in the folder or on the file.

Vijaya

Module processing inside Sender File Adapter

Hello,
I am trying to analyze whether I can create a specialized module inside Sender File Adapter. As of right now, the Sender File Adapter and Receiver as well, assume endSeparator character in the end of each record. For files that do not have this field, it is just on continuous string, I assumed I can create an
     adapter module
     call it BEFORE data in the file is being converted to XML format
     Insert 'nl' character (since the record length is fixed)
     Call regular adapter processing (converting to/from XML)
    However, creating any module inside Sender File Adapter, the payload of the main document is already in XML format. Is there anyway to avoid it?
   Thanks for your help,
         Dmitriy Mindich

It is not possible with the standard functionality.
So maintain the sender file adapter with no conversion, but in the module tab enter following modules:
1. Your module
2. The conversion module (*)
3. The standard module.
(*) for details look here:

Can we control the triggering of sender file adapter

Hi,
Can we control the tiggering of Sender file adapter with option of Run OS command before message processing
This option is available in Sender communication channel, what are the limitations of this option?
My actual requirement is to see the target folder whether it is empty or not, if empty then I can trigger the interface.
For this I want to write shell script whihc execute at OS level to check whether the target is empty or not, But the constraint is will this can control the triggering of sender adapter.

Hi Sekhar,
I guess this can help you control the file pick up.
If your shell script works well then using the same you can modify the filename or its extension if the target folder is empty.
Say in the sender file adapter you set the source-filename as "inbound_*.ready". Now when originally the source file is dropped into the source folder (by any other process) let it be named as "inbound_001.pending" and your script will change the file name to "inbound_001.ready" if the target directory is empty. I dont think you need to use the pre processing OS command for this.
Does it make any sense?

Suddha

Stored procedure by using EXECUTE at the sender JDBC

We have Scenario from JDBC to RFC (ASYNCH).We are using Oracle DB,at the database side we have a stored Procedure and inside the Procedure we are accessing multiple table.
My query is how can we excecute update sql statement a stored procedure by using EXECUTE at the sender JDBC?
EXECUTE SP_STUDENT_UPDATE
ERROR: 'java.sql.SQLException: ORA-00900: invalid SQL statement '. For details, contact your database server vendor.

Hi. Peter.
yes , is possible to update your rows in your sp.
If you want the data determined from the Query SQL Statement to remain in the database unchanged after being sent successfully, enter <TEST>.This is recommended if the data has not only been read, but also changed by a stored procedure entered under Query SQL Statement.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw73/helpdata/en/7e/5df96381ec72468a00815dd80f8b63/content.htm?frameset=/en/48/465581929734d9e10000000a42189d/frameset.htm&current_toc=/en/ca/b977f1c7814201954f20bb87ad7aab/plain.htm&node_id=64
Could you put your sp? Maybe something is wrong .

Sender File Adapter Bespoke Module Development

I have been following the How To ... Create Modules for the J2EE Adapter Engine to create a bespoke module for the Sender File Adapter.
Initially all the module does is write a message to the Augit Log. The module has been deployed to XI successfully. When I add the module to the sender file adapter the adapter is green in the adapter monitor but I get the following message in the message monitor ....
"Attempt to process file failed with Path to object does not exist at com.kk.FileAdapter, the whole lookup name is localejbs/sap.com/com.kk.FileAdapter/WriteToLog."
com.kk.FileAdapter is the package. All of the required files have been built as per the How To pdf.
Does anyone have any ideas??

Hi Satish,
Thanks for the quick response.
Using the fully qualified name I get the following error in the adapter monitor.
"Last message processing started 18:32:11 2005-09-19, Error: Module Exception 'com.sap.aii.af.mp.processor.ModuleProcessorException' found, cause: com.sap.engine.services.jndi.persistent.exceptions.NameNotFoundException: Path to object does not exist at BANKSenderFileAdapterEAP, the whole lookup name is localejbs/sap.com/BANKSenderFileAdapterEAP/WriteToLog."
If is use the JNDI name I do not get an error in the Adapter Monitor but get the following error in the Message Monitor.
"Attempt to process file failed with Path to object does not exist at BANKSenderFileAdapterEAP, the whole lookup name is localejbs/sap.com/BANKSenderFileAdapterEAP/WriteToLog."
The rest of the message seems to be successful, only the run of the module.
Any ideas??
Many thanks

Does an inline view execute before the rest of the select?

Hi,
The O'Reilly book Mastering Oracle Sql defines an inline view simply as a
subquery in a select FROM clause. This conforms to the definitions in
the Oracle 9i and 10g docs.
But unlike the Oracle docs, the O'Reilly book says the inline view is,
like a WITH clause, executed before the rest of the query. I can't see
how this can be done unless the inline view makes no reference to
other tables joined in the FROM clause.
Is there a species of inline view in 9i/10g that IS restricted as above -
no refs to other tables in the FROM clause - and what is it called?
Thanks for any help.
Ken Quirici

As explained above, Oracle can choose to merge the query if feasible to do so. Look at the two queries and their plans below. The plan in second query changes to creating a temporary VIEW since in that case, Oracle is unable to perform the merge:

Can we enhance the Sender SOAP Adapter with our own modules?

Hi All,
Can we enhance the Sender SOAP Adapter with our own modules on the Module Tab Page in the Module Processor?
I believe the answer is no. However, whatever may be the answer, I would like to know that is there any specific reason for that.
Please help me in this regard.
Thanks,
Yogi.

Hi,
I think, we are mentioning the URL of the adapter channel directly in the configuration. SO there is no place we can customize this flow..just a thought
Because in the file adapter etc, After Adapter Engine picks up the data and before it goes into integration engine module is processed..

OS command before file processing in Sender File adapter

Hi there,
I'm having troubles running a os command from the sender file (NFS) adapter. The batch file which I try to run is not getting executed at all.
When I manually run the same batch file from the command prompt then it works perfectly.
The OS command looks like this from the adapter config:
myserver\xi\interface\in\dothis.bat
I have also try with this notation
G:\myserver\xi\interface\in\dothis.bat
Please give me some tips how can I solve this problem, is there any way how can I debug the OS command? When I look at the adapter monitonr no errors are showed.
Thanks for any tips.
Roberto

Hi all,
The problem is solved.
Issue: File Receiver Channel does not execute the OS Command before message processing.
Reason: XI always expects an input file (in my case the sender communication channel) on the source folder. If no input files are found then the rest of the adapter configuration is not executed at all.
In our scenario the OS command is responsible for retrieving the input files from a FTP server the adapter. SO XI will never trigger the OS Command.
Solution: Place a dummy input file on the source folder , the sender adapter will always read in this file and put it back on the same location.(e.g. using a condition in the receiver determination).
Thanks,
Roberto

Adapter Module for Sender File Adapter to access a Flat file

Hi,
We have a scenario where the source is a flat file.I want to develop an Adapter Module to make a small change to every line in the Flat file.
Now how do we read a flat file in the Adapter Module?Coz the flat file will be converted to XML file by the Standard Adapter Module of the File adapter.
Please help me out with this.
Thank you,
Anu.

Hi Anu,
If you are not using Content Conversion option Standard Adapter Module does not convert the Flat file to XML .
You can directly access the payload as it is in flat file in the Adapter Module and make changes.
Use the Standard classes ModuleData & moduleContext to fetch the Payload.

Sender File Adapter Can I set original MessageID like SOAP Adapter??

Hello,PI Experts!!
I want to set original messageID(GUID) to Sender File adapter scenario.
SOAP Adapter can set original messageID with url, about FILE Adapter??
I think Adapter Module maybe can set original messageID.

Yes, you can get Message ID with any adapter.

If you are on release 620, have a look at class CL_ABAP_MEMORY_UTILITES method GET_MEMORY_SIZE_OF_OBJECT. It will tell you how much memory is allocated and how much is actually used. Here is some sample code:
TABLES: sflight.
DATA: isflight TYPE TABLE OF sflight.
SELECT-OPTIONS: carrid FOR sflight-carrid.
SELECT * FROM sflight INTO TABLE isflight
        WHERE carrid IN carrid.

If you aren't on 620 or don't need to be that precise, you might try the following:

WRITE: / 'Number of Lines:', size1.
DATA: wa_sflight LIKE LINE OF isflight.
DESCRIBE FIELD wa_sflight LENGTH size2 IN BYTE MODE.
WRITE: / 'Size of one Line:', size2.
size3 = size1 * size2.
WRITE: / 'Total Size:', size3.
Please note that the addition IN BYTE MODE only works in 610 and higher. It isn't neccesary before that release. However it is important to get accurate resuls in an Unicode System.

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.

Phani.
