Using file receiver adapter with a different user

Hello.
I have a simple question (at least I think it is)
Can I use a file receiver adapter (where the transport protocol is NFS - not FTP)
so that a different user will access the directory (not the usual SAPServiceSID)?
I don't see any place for using username and password, and using the FTP protocol is not possible
because of security reasons.
Any help Appreciated.

Hello.
Thanks for the quick answers.
I'm sorry for not being clear enough before.
I have a microsoft network share on a different server then the PI.
When I use the path:
server\share
I manage to successfully put a file via the file receiver adapter, with NFS as the transport protocol.
However in order to do this, the owner of the share had to give credentials to the user: SAPServiceSID of my PI system
which is an active directory user.
The owner wants me to use a local user instead.
Can this be done with a local user?

How to create and use file share in linux

Hi,
I just started trying out Azure, I have 2 linux ubuntu instances. I would like to create a File share to use as a type of NAS and mount it on both of the instances.
How can I go about doing that? Is there a tutorial?
thanks
Ricardo

Hi,
We can use Azure File services to do this, for more information, please have a look at this article:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/windowsazurestorage/archive/2014/05/12/introducing-microsoft-azure-file-service.aspx. The Azure File service exposes file shares using the standard SMB 2.1 protocol. Applications running in Azure can now easily share files between
VMs using standard and familiar file system APIs like ReadFile and WriteFile.

Writing to 2 different directory using file receiver channel

I have a scenario where i am picking multiple files from one server and writing it on another. While writing the files, i want to write them to different folders using one communication channels based on the filename. is it possible? if yes how?

You have to go for dynamic configuration UDF in the mapping.
Refer to the below document
http://wiki.scn.sap.com/wiki/display/XI/Dynamic+file+name+and+directory+in+Receiver+File+Adapter+-+summary+of+possibilities
Also http://****************/Tips/XI/ASMA/Index.htm
You just need to add filters/fix value lookup and pass it to UDF to determine the target directory

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 ?

- 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.

File receiver : blank line at end of file

Dear friends,
we are using file receiver with file content conversion , tp : FTP
The file has a flat structure & fixed length (no delimiters) :
reordset parameters used- fieldFixedLengths
each record is in a different line, but at the end of the records a blank line is inserted.
(no endSeparator is used.)
Can you pls advise hot to get rid of this extra blank line

Hi Datta,
I am not sure but you can try with follwing parameters...
NameA.fixedLengthTooShortHandling Specify how you want the system to respond when column widths in the actual document exceed those defined in NameA.fieldFixedLengths. The following values are permitted:
·        Error
Error means that processing of the document is terminated.
·        Cut
Cut means that a value is shortened to the maximum permitted length.
·        Ignore
Ignore means that the system applies the value completely, regardless of it being too long. Subsequent columns are moved correspondingly.
U can use ignore in your case.
For more info. plz check

To create a PDF document, go to the source application then print the document to .pdf" I am going to the source application and printing the document to .pdf yet it's saving the file as a .log file. After reinstalling the software, I initially didn't encounter this problem but on my second and third attempts to convert files to .pdf format, this error message reappeared. How do I resolve this problem?

I have a similar problem which i did not have before...and it exists only in some powerpoint files which i want to print as a pdf file...and i get the same message as above.

How to create an Excel file from XML in the Receiver File Adapter Comm Ch

How do I create an Excel file from XML in the Receiver File Adapter Communication Channel? I have my mapping done and I am outputting the file as a comma delimited csv file. However, the target can only process an Excel file (.xls). How can I generate an Excel in XI?
I saw this blog, but I don't know how to create a XSLT transformation.
/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/12/10/xi-generating-excel-files-without-the-java-nor-the-conversion-agent-not-possible
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Here are the steps I took to create an XSLT transformation in XI 3.0:
1. I created my source and target XSDs using XMLSpy.
2. I created the XSLT mapping from source to target in XMLSpy (referencing the souce XSD schema).
3. I created another XSLT mapping to format the target into Excel XML.
4. Import the source and target XSDs in the IR's External Definitions
5. Zip each XSLT mapping (.xls) and import it into the IR's Imported Archives
6. Reference the XSL mappings in the Interface Mapping

Receiving multiple files with dual extension using file adapter

Hi,
The scenario where I am implementing requires multiple files of different names to be picked(ABC.txt) and dropped at destination(ABC.txt.pgp) up by my File Sender and Receiver adapters. Any idea on about how the configuration for receiving multiple files with dual extension for receiver adapter is to be done?
Note:- currently, The scenario is working fine without dual extension. i.e Its picking all files which starts with ABC and creating at destination as it is. even I configured as ABC.txt.pgp, but its not creating the second extension.
Thanks in Advance
Manmadha

Hi,
Try to concatenate '.pgp ' to the source file name to create the target file name for the receiver file adapter, by accessing the Adapter Specific Attributes using Java user defined function. This might work.

Hi,
Try to handle this with the context in the mapping.
I think your mapped xml will look like this-

40010016020059332 0 00000000 010424400

SO this is because of context problem. All similar nodes are grouped in the Message Mapping.
1) For this you can try with Context Handling - i.e using RemoveContext,SPlity value functions etc in the message mapping.
2) Another way use XSLT mapping here. In this case it will be easier, because you just need to read the input xml as it is and produce the same.
3) One more thing, your input xml looks as if is the output xml. Is it required to have mapping here? If there is no transformation required, then you can do without any mapping, and you will get the required output as it is ..

File receiver: Create empty file named "start.txt" at end of process

Hello,
When my file adapter finish the generation of file at the receiver server I want to create another empty file at the same directory named "start.txt". The use of that file if for a scheduled task of OS that only starts a process if start.txt file have been created (the process delete that file).
How can I do that? I've tried with OS command after precessing but that's for the XI OS not the receiver system SO...
Then I've seen that I can use ftp command but there isn't ftp command to create a file... only to transfer files.

You can achive this using script.Write a script/bat to creat a file using ftp connection as well in the script and place in xi machine. Using OS command to call the script before the process ends.

Can External Definition be used or Receiver File content conversion (CSV)?

Hi Experts,
I'm a newbie to SAP PI and I started working on file to File(FCC) scenario in which I am provided with the receiver structure as an External definition. The structure is like
Name
Place
Designation
Salary
hike
Can I use the same structure (External Definition) for the receiver file content conversion or do I need to create another specific structure?
Can I convert the target CSV file to UTF-8 encoding?
Please help.
Regards,
Taro

Hi,
Can the above specified structure be used for receiver FCC? Does this work? Can this be converted to UTF-8?
If it can be used, how do we specify the parameters for FCC then as there's no root element?

Got compilation error about 'create instance activity' using file adapter

Hi,
I am creating a very simple bpel process using file adapter. in my 'Receive' activity, I selected 'create instance' , as the tutorial says.
I got this compilation error during deploying.
'Error(31): [Error ORABPEL-10051]: multiple create instance activity [Description]: in line 31 of "D:\OraBPELPM_1\integration\jdev\jdev\mywork\BPELPractices\FileAdapterTest2\FileAdapterTest2.bpel", Conflicting createInstacne="yes". Instance is already created by another activity. [Potential fix]: Remove createInstance="yes" attribute from this activity. '
Several people had the same problem in my team. I wonder if this is a common issue. how to fix it?
Thanks,

You must be having another receive/pick activity within the same process that has "createInstance" set to yes.
Thats why its complaining.
