Configure receiver file name as Sender file name

Hi All,
In PI7.1. We have scenario(file to file). Here the sender system send multiple files and In the receiver system we need to populate the same filenames as Sender file Names.
Could you please let me know is there a configuration to have Receiver file schem name As like sender file names.
Thanks in Advance,
Naga.

Hi Naga,
This can be achieved using either variable substitution or Dynamic Configuration by enabling Adapter Specific Message Attributes in sender and receiver file channels.
If the sender file name and receiver file name needs to be exactly same then just check Adapter Specific Message Attributes in advanced tab of both sender and receiver channels. Check on File Name under that.
Lot of help over this is already available in sdn, kindly serach and you will get lot of helpful blogs and wikis

Configuring Receiver File Adapter for J2SE

Hi All,
I have a scenario in which i need to convert the IDOC data into a fixed length file.
I did mapping according to the output structure of the file.
My Output file format is as follows...
Document1 document2 document3 etc
Each document contains different fields with different lengths
In XI-FIle adapter we give Recordset structure : Document1,Document2,Document3.
But while configuring Receiver File adapter in J2SE.
There is no option mentioned in J2SE Adapter.
http://saphelp.border-states.com/EN/95/bb623c6369f454e10000000a114084/content.htm
Please throw some light on the same.
Thank You
Regards,
Reehan

as far as i read the document, what i understood is that the J2SE adapter has a limitation.
your XML structure should be as mention in the link;
To convert a table in XML format to pure text format, the document format must be the same as that which is generated by the sender file/FTP adapter in mode FILE2XMBWITHROWCONVERSION (with the default value <row> for the structure) and the sender JDBC adapter. This means that the document structure looks like this:
<resultset>
<row>
<column-name1>column-value</column-name1>
<column-name2>column-value</column-name2>
<column-name3>column-value</column-name3>
</row>
<row>
<column-name1>column-value</column-name1>
<column-name2>column-value</column-name2>
<column-name3>column-value</column-name3>
</row>
</resultset>
This is an example for 3 columns and 2 lines. The number of lines and columns is, of course, unlimited. The XML elements in italics can be defined by the user and the elements of a line must be grouped within an element of type <row> </row>.
So cannot take the recordset structure as we have for the normal File adapter.

Receiver file channel with ANSI format.

Hi,
I have developed file to file scenario for which sender file format is unicode and receiver file format is ANSI.
There is no FCC at sender and receiver site. In interface we are just bypassing the file in PI, there is no ESR objects.
I have configured sender channel for unicode in following way:
File Type : Text
file encoding : UTF-8
I have configured receiver file channel for ANSI in following way:
File Type : Text
file encoding : i have tried with cp1252 and ISO8859-1
When I run the interface I received receiver file in ANSI format. But when I open that file in notepad the content in the file is having spaces in between 2 characters like below.
V O L 1 0 0 0 0 0 9
Is any bady having idea about this problem?
Thanks.

Hi,
The blanks in your target file might be created because your source file is encoded with UTF-16, not UTF-8. Try using one of these as an encoding in sender communication channel:
UTF-16BE (16-bit Unicode character format, big-endian byte order)
UTF-16LE (16-bit Unicode character format, little-endian byte order)
UTF-16 (16-bit Unicode character format, byte order)
Hope you'll find this useful,

Receiver File Adapter Alerts.....

Hi Gurus,
I need to configure Receiver File Adapter specific alerts....to test the alerts ...i am just giving wrong credentials for FTP....
But..wot I c is that the alert is received after the predefined no. of retries(6 nos) in Comm Channel Monitoring are completed in an interval of 5 mins each..ie I am getting the alert after 30 mins...but if I stop the channel ..I get the alert instantly b4 the first retry starts......
Wot is the diffence btw the 2 cases???

The behavior is perfect.
When Adapter tries to send the message to target and if some error with channel parameters or target system then the processing will be marked as error only when all the retries are done....in your case after 6 attempts....this can be configured.
However when you stop the channel the message is not passed from IE to AE and you get the error in first instance itself....you might get the error information in SXMB_MONI....there is no retry limit for this part...it will be tried only once
The first alert is due to error in AE and the second error is due to error in IE
If you want to get the alert if first retry itself is in error then configure the retry interval to 1.
Regards,
Abhishek.

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).

Daniel

Same Sender and Receiver File Name. Pls advice urgent

Hi All,
My sender file name is auto generated number so
it is dynamic in nature.
ex. "abc1.txt"
     "abc2.txt"
Now In my Sender File Adapter I cannot give
File Name hard coded as my sender file name is auto generated number.
Also I want same file name received at receving end.
File Sender --   "abc1.txt"
File Receiver -- "abc1.txt"
File Sender --   "abc2.txt"
File Receiver -- "abc2.txt"
Pls advice.
Regards

Hi Rider,
All your sender files have .txt extension but the name is not constant(dynamic in nature).Than in this case to pick ur file u can use the *.txt as ur sender file name.Than all the files with .txt extension in the source folder specified would be picked.
Than u can proceed in the same way given in this blog
/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/11/10/xi-the-same-filename-from-a-sender-to-a-receiver-file-adapter--sp14

Same file name from sender to receiver file adapter with out using UDF

Hi All,
I am working on FILE TO FILE. My requirement is same file name from sender to receiver file adapter. Is it possible to do using only Adapter Specific message properties? i mean with out using UDF.
Thanks

Hi,
>>>Is it possible to do using only Adapter Specific message properties?
yes
just enable Adapter Specific message properties in sender and receiver channel for file name

RQ: Receive files in folder with name of the sende...

Hello,
I don't know is I'm on the right place and I don't know is there same request, so I apologize if it exist...
Please, make option the received files to be saved in folder with the name of the sender. For example: my friend with skype name XYZ send me a file 'foo.bar' that will be saved in \My Documents\Skype_save (I changed the default dir); another friend with name XXY send me file 'foo1.bar' and again it will be in \My Documents\Skype_save, but when there are many files it is difficult to sort them and know whose files sended by who... So the good choise is if the files are saved in folder with name XYZ, XXY etc... Example:
\Skype_save\XYZ\foo.bar
\Skype_save\XXY\foo1.bar
I'm sorry for my bad english, it's not my native language. I hope you can understand what I mean with this folders

There is no automatic option in Skype that can do what you are trying to accomplish. However, you can in advance create save folders named as your contacts and and each time you receive a file, to save the file in the appropriate folder.
For this to function, you have to set the option in Tools -> Options -> IM settings -> Show advanced options to “Choose a folder where to save the file every time”.

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.
http://www.flickr.com/photo_zoom.gne?id=698877499&size=o
Note : Navin the above suggestion is my thought, I think it will work. U can juz give a try.

Variable substitution not working for dynamic file name in Receiver File CC

Hi Experts,
I am doing the scenario of Proxy sender to File receiver and my purpose is to Create the text file
as per the filename available in Source Message payload.
I am using the Variable Substitution method for this as shown below.
Source Message Structure:-
 <Row> -
having Cocurence 1.1
 <Filename> -
having Cocurence 1.1
 <Item> -
having Cocurence 1.Unbounded
 <Field1>
 <field2>
 <Item>
 <Item>
 <Field1>
 <field2>
 <Item>
 <Row>
Target structure is same as the source structure and i have mapped the Filename field of the Source
with the Target structure Filename.
In ID the following is the File receiver CC Configuration.
File Name Scheme:- %Dyn_filename%
In Advance tab, I have selected the Enable option and added one row as Variable name %Dyn_filename%
and Reference as payload:Row,1,Filename,1
In testing I am getting the Error as 'variable Dyn_filename is not found in Message payload'.
Please suggest me.
Regards,
Jagesh

Hi Pooja,
Hi Pooja,
Thanks for your valuable reply..
I tried with the same. but still Filename is appearing in Output file.Giving you some details regarding my Receiver File Configuration settings.

 <Filename_test>----
1.1 occurence
 <ITEM>----
1.unbounded occurence
 <Field1>
 <Field2>
 <ITEM>
 <ITEM>
 <Field1>
 <Field2>
 <ITEM>
 <Row>
 <MT_Target_Struct>
Recordset structure:- Row,Filename_test,ITEM
Row.fieldSeparator----
>'nl'
Filename_test.fieldFixedLengths----
>0 (Zero)
Filename_test.fixedLengthTooShortHandling----
>Cut
ITEM.fieldSeparator----
>,
ITEM.endSeparator----
>'nl'
I want only ITEM node to be written in the output file.
Please suggest.

Dynamic Receiver file name in AS2 adapter

Hi Experts,
How to get dynamic receiver file name in AS2 adapter. We need receiver file name same as of sender file name.
We tried selecting dynamic attributes file name but we are getting followin error in CC.
Message processing failed. Cause: javax.resource.ResourceException: Fatal exception: com.seeburger.xi.connector.queue.TaskBuildException: Mandatory attribute dtAS2FileName is not present in XI message., Mandatory attribute dtAS2FileName is not present in XI message.
Thanks,
Hari

hi hari,
You can't do it manually. As both adapter are in different context.
You can go with UDF to slove ur problem.
Just extract the input file name using Dynamic configuration
Store that in some variable.
Use same name in the dynamic file name in AS2 receiver. Below code might be useful.
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container.getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create( "http://seeburger.com/xi/common/dtAS2FileName", "DYNFILENAME");
conf.put(key,strfilename);
Thanks

How to give a dynamic File Name for Receiver File/FTP Adapter.

Hi Experts,
    I have one scenario in which we are creating a flat file of IDOC which is coming from R/3 & sending it to FTP location. For this we have configured Receiver FTP adapter with File Name Scheme as "NT.out" & in File Consturction mode i have given as "Add Time Stamp".
    therfore while creating a file it is creating as NTyyyyMMdd-HHmmss-SSS.out
where as my requirement is only to to add Time & not the Date. (NThhmmss.out)
    How to do this ?
    for your info we are using ABAP Mapping.
    Pl help me
Regards,
Umesh

Hi Umesh,
      Add one more field to your target structure for your file name and populate that field as per your requirement like NTyyyyMMdd.out. In receiver communication channel use Variable subtiution option and give the refrence of Payload and file construction mode set as create.
And refer the below weblogs for Variable Subtiutuion File Name Scheme
/people/jayakrishnan.nair/blog/2005/06/20/dynamic-file-name-using-xi-30-sp12-part--i - Dynamic File Name Part 1

Receive File Adapter - Error in CallSAPAdapter Name not known

Using xml to File Adapter. Just want to store the xml file somewhere ie on XI Server in folder E:\usr\sap\interface\XMLfiles
Getting error in Adapter Engine - Exception caught by adapter framework: Object not found in lookup of CallSAPAdapter.
Delivery of the message to the application using connection File_http://sap.com/xi/XI/System failed, due to: com.sap.aii.af.ra.ms.api.RecoverableException: Object not found in lookup of CallSAPAdapter.: com.sap.engine.services.jndi.persistent.exceptions.NameNotFoundException: Object not found in lookup of CallSAPAdapter..
Receiver Adapter configured to receive file write a .tmp version no conversion so set type to Binary.
I can see the Communication Channel in the monitor green.
Any ideas to find the problem
thanks,

I tried changing the communication channel as suggested with no further success. I have viewed the LogViewer on the server in cluster->server->logs defaultTrace.trc and com.sap.xi -> xi.log with no more information available.
So is it that I cannot do a simple XML send to file receiver and leave its content unchanged?
My test message payload was of the order
<?xml version="1.0"?><LIST><S_STX><C_STDS><D_STDS1>... with all the data in.
Adapter type = file
Receiver
Transport Protocol = File System (NFS)
Message Protocol = File
Adapter Engine = Integration Server
Target Directory = E:/usr/sap/Interfaces/XMLFiles (and tried it with /usr/sap/interface/XMLFiles)
Create filedirectory = ticked
Filename filename.xml
File Construction Mode = add timestamp
Write Mode = use temporary file
Temporary filename scheme = filename.tmp
Filetype = Binary
Module Tab
1 localejbs/CallSAPAdapter Local Enterprise Bean 0
and thats it.
On testing from the Integration Engine it reaches the Adapter Engine and reports the error as stated in my first post.

Now I have been reading all the documentation available and forum questions in this area but there is a lot of information but not quite for what I am currently trying to do. I need to preserve the xml file as xml for further processing. This is just a resting place for the file as I am trying to cut down a long running (over a day) collect BPM scenario by collecting the files in the directory then triggering the collect scenario to read in the files from this directory and perform all the processing and mapping in one chunk of short time. (But that is another story)
Any more suggestions appreciated could the SAPCallAdapter not be where I think it is? Does my directory and filename case have to be exact lower and upper case. (I will test this tomorrow)...and let you know if any difference and continue to read the links put on by the other person who answered.
thanks,

Creating the receiver file name dynamically

Hi Friends
Here I have a scenario IDOC to File, I am not using any mapping or creating any repository objects. My requirement is to pass the sender IDOC to receiver in an xml file format. While posting the file at receiver file directory I suppose to post it with a file name File_IDOCnumber#.xml i.e., i need to include idocnumber in the file name. As I am not using any mapping objects I might not be able to use Dynamic configuration option, kindly suggest me with a solution.
Am using PI7.1 version
Regards
Suman.

Hi Suman,
Depending on your backend application, you can create a XML file port in WE21 and use that in your Partner Profile configuration. You can create your own function module to generate the filename based on your requirements.
Alternatively, if you really want to pass through PI, you can use variable substitution in your Receiver File Adapter:
Under File Access Parameters in Target Tab:
File Name Scheme: File_IdocNumber_%idoc%.xml
Under Variable Substituion in Advanced Tab:
Enable : Yes
Variable Name: idoc
Reference: payload:IDOCTYPE,1,IDOC,1,EDI_DC40,1,DOCNUM,1

Erwin
