Dynamic directory for Sender SFTP adapter

Hi All,
Hope everybody is doing fine.
I need urgent help for below requirement for SFTP adapter ,client requirement is
We have deployed the SAP security Add ons (PGP-SFTP) for one of the requirements in our PI system (PI 7.11 SPS 11).
The SFTP adapter is configured to read files from the source system.As per the guidelines from the source system , we need to determine the source directory dynamically and then poll the files.
The source folder structure looks something like this :
\Archive\FROM_System\<yyyy>\<mm>\<dd>\Interface1
\Archive\FROM_System\<yyyy>\<mm>\<dd>\Interface2
That is we need to pick up the file every day from a new folder, say, for 24th July 2013 - \Archive\FROM_System\2013\07\24\Interface1
25 July - \Archive\FROM_System\2013\07\25\Interface2
Will the PI SFTP adapter support this kind of requirement? As this is sftp sender adapter Operating system level command option is also not available.
Do we have any standard module/Bean to dynamically change directory name in the sender SFTP adapter?
i will really appreciate your quick help.
Thanks
Monica

Hi Monica,
Yes it should work. Did you check this thread:
http://scn.sap.com/thread/3376137
Also refer to the following documentation link for the SFTP sender adapter (scroll down to the adapter specific message attributes):
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwposc/helpdata/en/2e/99f0fb5a9e45b3b148c90e87fafcd1/content.htm?frameset=/en/c5/56eb8e7ec04435a0d54d96a18231e5/frameset.htm

Sender sFTP Adapter - SSH Key

Hi All,
I have a small doubt regarding Sender sFTP Adapter. This is what we have done to connect with one of Vendor
1.     Basis created a SSH key in NWA for Vendor and sent to them.
2.     They linked the SSH key with user name and asked me to use the same.
3.     We got the firewalls openepd b/w PI and Vendor
4.     I provided the same detail in sFTP adapter, but I am not able to connect,
I am getting below error:
Error: Cannot connect to SFTP server. Host=########, port=22, username=#####. Private key store=########, private key alias=piPKCS12. Timeout=300000 msecs. Absolute home directory=.: KeyStoreException in Method: getPrivateKey( KeyStore, String, String ). The requested keystore type is not available in the default provider package or any of the other provider packages that were searched. (Software version: 3.0.14.2)
Please provide your inputs.

Sachin Dhingra

Hi,
The first thing you have to do is use the same userid and the pwd and try to connect to the vendor system from your application layer and see if this is connecting or not. If there is a problem in connection then there are few steps that you have to follow. Below are the steps you need to follow:
1. Open the port from your Vendor side as well as open the port from your XI system(there might be two ports)
2. Generate the key of your vendor system and one you started login to the system then it will ask to instal the key , so acept it.
the IS people can help you out over here.
3. Try to push the one dummy file in that location manually using the command in application layer.
4. check the authorization in the target directory and try to provide the proper authorization,, 777 is used for full authorization.
5. use the same useid and the pwd and then try from your xi system processign a dummy file.
hope this helps.
cheers,

Picking file in sequence/Queuing   in sender SFTP adapter.

Hi Experts,
I am using SFTP adapter in sender side, it has no option of quality of service ( EOIO) and queue name as we have in FTP adapter configuration .Is there any predefined module provided by Sap which i use in the modules Tab in communication channel configuration to get the functionality of queuing ? just like we use strictXMlto plain bean etc.
I have 3 files which needs to proccess in a sequence one after another in order.I CANT USE BPM or Even FTP because of Security reasons.
please share you ideas.
Regards,
Anika

Hi all,
I have tried using AF_Modules/DynamicConfigurationBean in module tab present is the sender SFTP adapter with the attribute qualityOfService.
parameter name                  Parameter value
     key.0                         insert http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/Messaging qualityOfService
    value.0                        ExactlyOnceInOrder
But in Moni i dont see the 3 messages didnt go in the same queue.But when i double click and open the dynamic configuration present in the soap header section i can see the values which i given in the module parameter.
Is there any way i can change the quality of service to EOIO at runtime ? how to change the default EO to EOIO.

Anika

Dynamic URL for HTTP receiver adapter

Hi all,
when the XI send the http request to the target system, the format maybe like this:
header + body the body is including: Prolog, payload and Epilog
here is about the target system have a 'input' parameter(maybe string type)
is it possible to pass the 'head + body' these value(or maybe the whole http request message) into input
i mean is it possible to set the dynamic URL for http receiver adapter like this:
http://host:port/path?input=<the header and body>
i have searched the blog Dynamic Configuration of Some Communication Channel Parameters using Message Mapping
Link:[/people/william.li/blog/2006/04/18/dynamic-configuration-of-some-communication-channel-parameters-using-message-mapping]
and the similar threads in the forum
please give me some advice
thanks in advance

When a HTTP server requests the whole message as URL parameters, then I assume that the server also requests an HTTP GET, which is not supported by XI.
Could you check this?

Hi
I am Doing File-File Scenario.I am using FCC in the Sender File Adapter. I have defined the structure as below.
My Source Structure
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ns0:MT_Source xmlns:ns0="http://city.net/filecopy">
   <Message>
      <Id>123</Id>
      <Head>

      </Head>
      <Body>Helloworld</Body>
   </Message>
</ns0:MT_Source_FILE>
So for the above structure, I have defined the FCC Parameters as
Document Name: MT_Source (Message Type)
Document Namespace:http://city.net/filecopy(Namespace)
Recordset Name: Message (root node)
Recordset Structure: Message,1,Head,1
Recordset Sequence: Ascending
Recordsets per message:1
Keyfield Type: string
In the Table Rows I have defined
Message.fieldFixedLengths: 3,10
Message.fieldNames: Id, Body
Message.fieldSeparator: ,
Message.endSeparator: 'nl'
Head.fieldFixedLengths: 3,8
Head.fieldSeparator: ,
Head.endSeparator: 'nl'
Head.fieldNames: Id, Filename.
My Input Text file
123,Helloworld
123,text.xml

<Body>HelloWorld</Body>
</Message>
- <Head>
<Id>123</Id>
<Filename>test.xml</Filename>
</Head>

So How should I define the FCC Paramenters For Sender File Adapter ?
Any Help Would be Appreciated.

Need to read source file without deleting it - Sender SFTP adapter

Dear friends,
The data from the source file needs to be read by PI on a daily basis. The file should not be deleted.
Vendor updates the file on a daily basis with file name DataFeed.xml
How to acheive this in Sender SFTP adapter ?
Kindly guide me
Renu

Hi Renu,
Unfortunately as of latest release of SFTP adapter. Arching is not possible :(. really dont know why :).
as a work around what you can do is create a scenario as 1 sender and 2 reicever.
here: 1 sender: will be the sender fileadapter which will pick the file from souce.
1st receiver: will be a receiver file channel which will palce back the file in the source Archive folder.
2ed Receiver: this will be the actual receiver to which the data has to be given.
Or write a Module in Sender adapter which will archive the files in new location.
Note: Here i am assuming that each time the source creates a new file with same name which contains new data in it everytime.

Senthilprakash.

FCC Paramenters for Sender File Adapter

hi
I am using FCC in the Sender File Adapter. I have defined the structure as below. Fields ID, Filename, Values will be generated at Runtime as I have defined Used Defined Funtions for Both.
Only I will Pass the value in Body. i.e "Hello".
So How should I define the FCC Paramenters For Sender File Adapter ?
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ns0:MT_Source_FILE xmlns:ns0="http://city.net/FILEtoHTTP">
   <Message>
      <Id>123456</Id>
      <Head>
         <Id>123456</Id>
         <Filename>sample.xml</Filename>
      </Head>
      <Body>hello</Body>
   </Message>
</ns0:MT_Source_FILE>
In the source text file, Do I need to send only "Hello" value because ID and filename will be generated at runtime?

Varun

Alias for Sender SOAP Adapter URL

When I create a web service for an o/b interface using the wizard, I need to give the URL of the pattern
http://<host:<port>/XISOAPAdapter/MessageServlet?channel=<party>:<service>:<channel>
Looking at the URL, I think there is servlet that is processing the incoming SOAP messages based on the parameter (channel) and adding the SOAP Header for Sender Service, Sender Interface from that channel before sending it to IE.
Is there anyway to create aliases for these URLs so that I can have distinct URL for each interface eg. http://<host:<port>/DeliveryConfirmation, http://<host:<port>/InvoiceCheck etc?
I need to publish web services in custom-built UDDI tool which expects the URLs to be unique. (This uniqueness should not based on the parameter 'channel'). UDDI tool expects the part of the URL before '?' to be unique, which is not in my case. So, I'm thinking of aliases.
Did anyone create Alias for sender SOAP adapter URL?
I appreciate your inputs on this.
thx
praveen

Stefan,
Creating an alias like (http://<host:<port>/DeliveryConfirmation) for each web service makes the end Point URL (http://<host:<port>/DeliveryConfirmation?channel=<party>:<service>:<channel>) unique and my custom-built UDDI server would allow it.
In this case, all the aliases would be for the same context path '/XISOAPAdapter/MessageServlet', right?
I see the following on the help page.
Prerequisites
You must first have the J2EE Web applications deployed so that their aliases are added to the list of available application aliases. Then you can decide which one to remove from it.
Do I need to deploy any J2EE Web Application here?
I'm thinking that since 'XISOAPAdapter/MessageServlet' is already deployed, I just have to create a various aliases for it.
I highly appreciate your inputs.
thx
praveen

Sender SFTP Adapter channel is not polling for files

Hello All,
Couple of SFTP sender adapter channel was failing in Developent system with u201Cdirectory listingu201D error.All SFTP sender channels stopped polling for the files in Developent system . We were unable to find the reason for adapter failure, Hence we restarted the j2ee server and adapter started polling files. Later we are facing the same issue in Quality system. THe adapter cahnnel is not polling files in Quality system even.
All lean tool adapters were showing the u201CHost key was not accepted erroru201D on 27th of Feb . As per the other channel trace, the time stamp of last successful polling and error time stamp of lean tool sender channels are exactly same
Eventhough two communication channels access the same SFTP adapter, one communicationchannel is getting 'Host key was not accepted error' but in other communication channel, files are getting picked.
Please let me know the solution if you have come accross this issue previously

DilipKumar

Hi Mike,
Thanks for your reply.
Its not a standard SFTP adapter rather its a C-BURGER SFTP adapter.
Sorry I did not mention this in my previous post

Failed in Message Mapping for Sender SOAP Adapter

I am using a synchronous Sender SOAP adapter for sending SOAP messages using HTTP security protocol. I am trying to send SOAP messages to XI and then to RFC-R/3. And Responses back from RFC to XI and then to SOAP. I am getting an error for failed in message mapping in SXMB_MONI for converting SOAP messages to RFC. When I debug it in Message Mapping in Integration Repository, it works fine.
Any help is appreciated.

Enabling HTTPS with Client Authentication for Sender SOAP Adapter on PI7.1

Hello All,
We are currently building up a HTTPS message exchange with an external client.
Our PI 7.1 recieved over HTTPS messages on an already configured Sender SOAP Adapter.
The HTTPS (SSL) connectivity works fine and was completely configured on the ABAP Stack at Trust Manager (TC=STRUSTSSO2)
Login to Message Servlet "com.sap.aii.adapter.soap.web.MessageServlet is required and works fine with user ID and password.
Now we have to configure the addtional Client Authentication.
At SOAP Adapter (Sender Communication Channel) under "HTTP Security Level"you are able to configure "HTTPS with Client Authentication".
But what are the next steps to get this scenario successfully in place?
Many thanks in advance!
Jochen

Hi Colleagues,
following Steps still have to be done:
- Mapping public key to technical user at Java Stack
As preparation you have to activate value "ume.logon.allow.cert" with true under "com.sap.security.core.ume.service" under Config Tool. At NWA under Identity Management at for repecively technical user the public key certificate
- Be sure CA root certivicate at Database under STRUSTSSO2
- Import intermediate Certificate under Certificate List at Trast Manager for the Respecive Server Note
- use Login Module "client_cert" which you have to configure under NWA\Configuration Management\Authentication for Components "sap.com/com.sap.aii.adapter.soap.app*XISOAPAdapter".
Many thanks to all for support!

Thanks for your reply..
I searched for the docs in many ways.. but couldnt find proper information regarding the IDOC packaging with sender IDOC adapter and steps required...
Could you please let me know if i can get the book in Singapore since our project, because almost 90% interfaces are related to IDOC...

Dynamic URL for Recv HTTP (Adapter spec attribute enabled)

Hi,
I need to have a dynamic URL for one of my cases been worked. the URL is
httlp://:<host>/perform/XTA?serv=*&action=start
the event "action" can accept either start/stop or restart. i wanna to control this dynamically and went for recv http enabled with adapter specific message attributes. here i had enabled the check box "URL" and in parameter 1 i had given the name as "action".
in my message payload the "action" will be start/stop or restart which is handled by UDF for which the code is below:l
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container.getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey trig = DynamicConfigurationKey.create( "http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/HTTP", "UrlParamOne");
conf.put(trig,action);
return "";
this udf is mapped to the root node of the target...but when execute the case i get the following error
"Dynamic Header - Missing Message Attributes: URL/HTTP Destination"
when i execute the url
httlp://:<host>/perform/XTA?serv=*&action=start
in browser it works fine and also with fully qualified name in http recv works fine but not with dynamic settings.
any help on it pls?

Hi Prabhu,
Enable Adapter-Specific Message Attributes(ASMA) in receiver HTTP channel.
Dont enable checkboxes for "URL or HTTP Destination".
Enable checkbox "Apply URL Parameters"
for parameter1 textbox give value action

Poll interval for sender file adapter.

I have a 1_sender file NFS file adapter which picks a trigger file from X location in PI application server, this trigger file initiates the unix script present in the sender file adapter.
Unix script brings all the file which starts with 25588* from bank FTP and places in Y location in PI application server then script deletes the "trigger file".
another NFS File adapter 1_receiver file adapter places the trigger file in the X location of PI.
for 1_sender file poll interval given as 86400, that means it should trigger only once a day @ 1:30pm.
But today same sender file adapter had triggered 4 times, could any one let me know the reason why it had triggered 4 times instead of single time.

Vidya,
There are two things :-
1. The polling interval should be 24 hrs;
2. The polling interval should be 24 hrs and it should poll at 1:30 pm every day.
For any reason if the channel is re-started, then with your present configuration, you will never be able to achieve # 2.
So, better use ATP.
But today same sender file adapter had triggered 4 times, could any one let me know the reason why it had triggered 4 times instead of single time.
Might be the connection dropped / failed at the time of polling and the channel re-tried. If you give more details (what time and with how much interval it triggered), someone might be able to help.

Neetesh
