CONFIGURE FILE ADAPTER ,get files one by one.

HI, I have cinfigure one system of FILE ADAPTER TO JDBC ADAPTER, is working OK, but I need to Know how configure The FIle adapter to get files one by one from the folder , I have the channel configure between 30 seconds, but when come to look for the files has them all ... I need to get one by one the files.
Help me... RGRDS.

Hi ,
What is the operating system of your PI server sytem? If its unix/linux you can achieve this using shell scripts, for windows systems you need batch files. The script/batch file would run in background continuously. It will check how many files are present in a directory (say xyz) . Then one by one transfer the files to directory(say abc) from where PI picks up files at regular interval. you need to use "sleep()" command in script so that the script puts files after some time interval say 90 seconds. The polling interval of comm channel in PI should be set less than sleep time interval of the script.In file sender adpater configuration please set the Processing Parameters -> Processing Mode-> Delete/archive. The script before putting a file in "abc " checks presence of any files. If there are some files it goes to sleep mode for few seconds and continues checking unless "abc" is empty. Then the script moves(as we do cut and paste in windows) file in "abc" directory.

Error in Receiver File adapter using File content Conversion

Hi Aparna,
I feel the problem in your content conversion parameters is with
statement.fieldNames and ignoreRecordsetName
When you are confirguring receiver file adapter for file content conversion the above one is not required. Please refer below link for details on configuring content conversion in file adapter

How do I select multiple files under "Get File Info"and lock or unlock all?

How do I select multiple files under "Get File Info"and lock or unlock them all? It seems to do it automatically when I have 10 or more selected. But how do I lock or unlock 5 or 6 files in one swoop? Thanks

Select the desired files then press OPTION and select Show Inspector from the Finder's File menu.

Sender File Adapter with file conversion

Hi guys,
Im using a Sender File adapter with file conversion. The message to be processed has a structure with fixed lengths and in your content are some values that needs to be ignored.
An example:
value1 value2 value3
I want to ignore value 2 but I cant find a parameter for that! Do I need to define dummy fields on my data type and ignore those fields during mapping? Or there is a specific parameter for that?
Thanks in advance,
Ricardo.

hi,
there always is another way:)
you can import the whole line to one field
and cut it inside the adapter module
(then you can define start and stop of the substring that you need to use)
but of course it's not standard even though it's quite easy to achieve in java

Trying to copy files and getting this error message, One or more items can't be copied because you don't have permission to read them. this is really annoying, can someone pls help..?

i have two network drive and i am trying to copy a file from my mac mini to one of the network drives, but i keep getting this error message "One or more items can’t be copied because you don’t have permission to read them." i have no idea why this is since i have always been able to copy stuff back and forth. i checked my file sharing permissions and it is set to read and write for admin (me), none for everyone and read for guests. can someone please, this is very annoying and this is the second time it has happened to me.

neither move nor copy is working. both way gives same error message. what i would like to do however is move the file. yes i am logged in as a the admin and the issue is affecting not just that particular file in my system but others as well. i looked at get info and no the file is not locked but under permission, it says everyone and read only. it will not let me change this setting from get info however when i look under system preferences for file sharing, my setting is read and write for admin (me), none for everyone and read for guests.

One file Adapter NXSD file dynamic

Hi all,
I will get different inputs based on the input request ID i have to do write the file using file adapter .
so the question is if i have 10 files is it necessary to create 10 File adapters or can i achieve this using a single File adapter and multiple NXD or XSD files in a folder .
select the xsd or NXSD at runtime based on the input request ID.
The best thing with this approach is even for a new transformation request i will just add the xsd or NXSD in the folder and update the DB no need to create a file adapter from scratch.
Thanks
Phani

Hi,
You cannot change the XSD for a file adapter at runtime....u can choose to write an opaque file with an native format is not required option checked.

File Adapter gets error while deleting the file

Hi,
We are running on PI 7.0 SP6. I built a simple integration scenario where a file is picked up from a certain directory on the server (PI server itself) and get processed according to some mapping rules and again put to an other directory. I used the file adapter for picking and putting the file with 2 different communication channels.
My integration works fine. File is picked up processed and put into its new location.
But the file adapter cannot work in archiving or deletion mode. So the file (to be picked up by PI) remains in its original location.
I am getting the following error:

Hi,
These are a few things you can do:
Check the permissions of the folder where the file is being Placed. (it will mostly have only read permission, this is what i could understand from your explanation)
If you are doing Content conversion, please can you just remove it and see if the XML file is getting generated.
Also, please check if it's picked up by any other application when you place it on the server.

File Adapter Getting Stopped

Hi All,
File Adapter (Sender,FTP) polling is geting stopped automatically.
This happens after 10-12hrs.
Can anyone help.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi,
Is there any possibility that FTP adapter will automatically stop polling, if no file is available in the FTP site for a very long time ?
In my case the polling interval is 10sec.

File adapter issue - files not processed (file name mask is *)

Hi guys!
I have a problem I never faced before. My file adapter doesn't process files in the source directory. When I put there exact file's name, it is processed. But when I use * , nothing happen. This is very strange. I was wondering, if problem can't be in that my PI box is UNIX and it's accessing Win filesystem.
Any ideas, what to try?
Thank you!
Olian

Yes, but I meant the one directory we're working in. We can write, delete there, so we should be able also use wildcards, don't we?
However, I tried it on a directory with 777 attributes. There is a file named clooo.ttt. When I run del .ttt I get Requested action not taken, file unavailable. The same for clooo. , clooo*,... But when I type del clooo.ttt, the file is deleted...
Any suggestions?

File adapter: Additional files option and Archive option

Hi all!
I configure file adapter to take file with two additional files. Additional files is optional. Also I configure to processing mode to archive.
So when I put all three files in folder everything works fine - all files are archived.
Problems begins when I put not all additional files for example:
1) when I put one main file and the FIRST additional file, files are archived, in communication channel monitoring i see error in message java.lang.NullPointerException, but message with payload transfers to IE successful.
2) when I put one main file and the SECOND additional file, the main file archived, the SECOND file NOT archived and stayed in source directory. In CC monitoring I see error message java.lang.NullPointerException, but message with payload transfers to IE successful.
Please provide me with some solution, because I need to archive all files.
Maxim.

in file sender CC, thr is option to archive and error file store also..
1)under processing mode - archive.. give the path thr..
2) To archive source files where a permanent error occurred during processing, select Archive Faulty Source Files

File Adapter Delimited File

Hi All,
I am writing a delimited file using the file adapter, i have built the XSD using the native format builder. Inside the BPEL, i get the data using a query, this query returns the data with delimited information between fields, but the output XSD came in such a way that there is only one element which holds the entire record. At runtime i get the information from database lookup and assign that records to invoke input variable of file adapter.
XSD of target file adapter...
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:nxsd="http://xmlns.oracle.com/pcbpel/nxsd"
xmlns:tns="http://TargetNamespace.com/ReadFile"
targetNamespace="http://TargetNamespace.com/ReadFile"
elementFormDefault="qualified"
attributeFormDefault="unqualified"
nxsd:version="NXSD"
nxsd:stream="chars"
nxsd:encoding="UTF-8"
>
<xsd:element name="Root-Element">
<xsd:complexType>
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element name="Child-Element" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="unbounded" nxsd:style="array" nxsd:cellSeparatedBy="${eol}">
<xsd:complexType>
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element name="C1" type="xsd:string" nxsd:style="fixedLength" nxsd:length="100" />
</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>
</xsd:element>
</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>
</xsd:element>
</xsd:schema>
So, the thing is file is getting written to, but the records are getting right aligned, as you can see the length is 100, so the file i am writing is coming like
records starting with the spaces, but the data which i am getting doesn't return any spaces at the starting of the record, it has spaces in the middle and the end of the record. I want the records to be left aligned. Is there any property which i can set for the element in the XSD for the data that gets assigned to make it left aligned.
Please help Experts.
Thanks,
Naresh

You can see the option of adding padStyle as head.. More detail check the below link and search on padding option which helps u in alignment.

File receiver - Get file size

Hi all,
In my scenario, the message mapping is such that the target message may or may not have child nodes created depending on certain conditions. I am using file receiver channel to write this target message as xml file on another server.
The issue I am facing is - suppose child nodes are not created, the target message has only root node, and nothing else. i.e. it is empty.
But still the file gets written on destination, because file adapter doesn't seem to have intelligence to look into the payload. So I have to manually delete such 'almost-empty' files.
Although PI 7.0 has feature of ignoring empty files, the file I am talking of is really not of 0 kb size, as it contains namespace and root node tag. It has very small size of 1 kb, this is fixed and thus the file is easily distinguished from other larger files which contain child nodes. File size is a parameter that can be certainly used as a key here, but don't know how.
Does anyone have any idea on -
1) How to check file size before file receiver adapter writes it,
2) How to prevent such file from getting written, or
3) run a script which can detect the file size and delete them periodically / or every time file receiver writes files ?
Regards,
- Shankar.

Hi,
We have an option of empty file handling in receiver file adapter..
 Select the Handling of Empty Messages: Write Empty File
An empty file (length 0 bytes) is put in the target directory.
 Ignore No file is put in the target directory.
But your case namespace and root node only are available you said.
In this type of situations ..
We can handle in the following way..
If target side root node having the recordset node
root
recordset 0..unbound
 child1 0.1
 child2 0.1
Then create a UDF
map from left side one node -
exists --- UDF ---to right side root node
In UDF
//handle business logic and
....ResultList.SUPPRESS.
if your target side does not have any recordset type of structure then..
In messages tab change the occurrences of msg to 0..unbound and use the above UDF.

Chilla..

XI 3.0 File Adapter: Converting File Content in Sender Adapter

Hi,
This is probably a basic question but does anyone have an example of the parameters used when you are using the 'Converting File Content' option on the File Adapter ?
Also, where do the record sets have to be defined ? Are these data types in the Integration Builder ?
The documentation is to say the least a bit flaky.
Any help would be appreciated.
Kind regards
Colin.

Hello,
I'm wondering if someone has experience setting up conversion for different record structures. The example shown (in a greate way) only picture one kind of structure.
How should it be done if the file would contain
10Mat1
20100PCS
The first record structure has columns
ID(2),Material(10)
The second redcord structure has columns
ID(2),Quantity(3), Unit of messure (3)

Sender File Adapter: Flat file content conversion to "multileveled" XML

Hi all,
I would like to do following conversion with file adapter:
- Input flat file schema:
A...
B,,,
C:::
- Desired XML form:
<mesage>
<A>
 
 <C>:::</C>
 
</A>
</message
>
All found examples (internet or XI documentation) do offer only "flat" XML option:
<mesage>
<A>...</A>
,,,
<C>:::</C>
</message>
Does anybody have an idea ?
Thanx and regards
Jurica

File Adapters content conversion does not supprot such a nested strucutre currently.
The only format supported is the one shown in ths link,
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/2c/181077dd7d6b4ea6a8029b20bf7e55/content.htm
Either write a module that will do this conversion or Change the datatye for the source to the format shown in help.sap.
