Dynamic update to Inbound Directory for File Adapter Read

I've seen references to others asking similar questions but never a good answer.
I have a process that outputs files into daily dated directories. In other words, my Inbound Direct name is dynamic. I would like BPEL to be able to pick up these files but the Directory Spec for the inbound file adapter seems to be set at design time (or in the case of a Logical Directory Deployment time).
The directory names are in YYYMMDD format. So it would be:
importdir/YYYMMDD
for each day.
Is there a way I can monitor an entire subtree, or have some event that triggers the directory name to be updated (for instance, a process watches the parent directory and kicks off when a new directory is created), or any other method I can inform the FileAdapter to begin polling a different directory.
Thanks.

Hi,

Dynamic UserID/Password for file Adapter

Hi,
How to use dynamic UserId/Password for file adapter ?
(Sender/Receiver)
In our case the Id/Pwd of FTP Site changes freguently.
Can anyone help.
Thanks in Advance
Regards
Chemmanz

Hi Chemmanz,
>>>>In our case the Id/Pwd of FTP Site changes freguently.
but do you have those passwords in the message payload?
if not then you will still have to fill it somewhere right?
BTW
the only way would be to use java proxies and write a simple ftp adapter inside it (or your own adapter)
but this is not possible in standard I believe

Directory specification for File Adapter

Hello,
I would like to ask if it is possible to determine a directory where message is saved for file adapter based on message content.
E.g. I have general directory (GD) under which I would like to save a messages in directories with are called based on vendor number what is part of a message.
So a message would be saved in
...\GD\vendor number\file name.
In case that vendor number directory is not created yet I need to create it.
I know that in file adapter a directory name is constant and file name can differ based on settings.
This behaviour is in Business Connector enabled through possibility to write an "user-exit" in Java for directory determination.
Is something similar possible in XI ?
We are currently running on XI 3.0 with external adapter engine version 2.0 but to use internal adapter engine is no problem for me.
Thank you for your advice.
Marian Morzol

Hi Marian,
You can do this with content based routing in the interface determination, but then you have to create a new interface/channel for every extra directory.
Cheers,
Frank

How to set DEBUG severity for File adapter in J2SE AE

Hi,
Can anyone help me in setting the severity level to DEBUG for file adapter?
I have tried to set in logging.properties file as given below,

formatter[Trace].pattern =%24d [%t] %-6s %l - %m
log[Trace] = FileLog
log[Trace].pattern     = swb_%g.log
log[Trace].limit     = 2000000
log[Trace].cnt          = 5
log[Trace].formatter     = formatter[Trace]
com.sap.aii.messaging.adapter.severity = DEBUG
logging components
#com.sap.aii.axis.logs = +log[Trace]
#com.sap.aii.axis.severity = DEBUG
#org.apache.axis.logs = +log[Trace]
#org.apache.axis.severity = DEBUG
Please correct me if I have did anything wrong and sugest me hot to set the DEBUG level as soon as possible.
Best Regards,
Soorya

Hi Sejoon,
when we changed the host of XI server in one of our projects one of the things we had to change was the exchange profile entries
http://server:port/exchangeProfile/index.html
to see how your adapter engine is configured
http://server:port/sld
SLD -> Content Maintenance
then
Subset: landscape description
Class: XI Adapter Framework
buth check the exchange profile entries first

How to add fault handling for file adapter??

Hi guys I am new to SOA technology ,I have one scenario in file adapter ,when file adapter reads a file from directory .If file is there then read the file data else it can give user defined exception that the file is not there .How can i write user defined exception in SOA?? Give me any ideas please.............
Thanks in advance..

So, you want to (1) Fetch the data from these 3 type of files and (2) Also, store the payload data of the file, which is in XML format, into the same database tables ?
If this is the requirement.. then, I would say, you could :
(1) Read files using file adapter, but not as opaque.. Define schemas conforming to the file structures. In that way, you'll always have the file data read in the form of XML.
(2) Fetch relevant data from such XML payloads of files and insert into database tables. Then, insert the XML payload into WHO column. You might have to convert the xml data into blob/clob before inserting.
Job done !

How to set a root directory for file management in web application

Is it possible to set a default root directory for file management for a web application ?
We would upload some files and store them in the web server.
When we write the uploaded files without any path, the files are written in the config directory into the jdeveloper embedded oc4j directory.
When we write the uploaded with a relative path ("/somedir/filename"), the files are written in C:/somedir/filename.
We would like that all file management with relative path into the web application refer automatically to a given root directory (for example defined in web.xml).
Is it possible ?

I'm using the standard upload in adf faces.
The problem is not during upload. This is managed in a temporay directory defined in web.xml. The problem is for writing the file that was uploaded (upload give us an inputStream we have to write somewhere, eventually after unzipping).
Here is an example of our current code.
if (mimeType.equals("application/x-zip-compressed") |
mimeType.equals("application/zip")) {
File destZipFile =
new File(rootDirectory + "/" + parametersDirectory +
"/" + uploadedFile.getFilename());
BufferedInputStream isZipFile =
new BufferedInputStream(uploadedFile.getInputStream());
FileOutputStream fosZipFile =
new FileOutputStream(destZipFile);
BufferedOutputStream bosZipFile =
new BufferedOutputStream(fosZipFile, BUFFER);
// read and write until last byte is encountered
while ((currentByte = isZipFile.read(data, 0, BUFFER)) !=
-1) {
bosZipFile.write(data, 0, currentByte);
}

Can file adapter read file link/short cut

Hi

The value specified for the input (Physical/Logical)Directory activation parameter has an invalid value "/tmp/filepolllink".
Ensure that the following conditions are satisfied for the input directory :
1) It exists and is a directory (not a file). and
2) It is readable (file read permissions). and
3) If activation parameter "DeleteFile" is set to "true" then the directory should also have granted write permissions. and
4) If using a logical name, then ensure that the mapping from logical name<->physical directory is correctly specified in the deployment descriptor.

[File-Adapter] Reading not finished files

Hey,
my sender file adapter reading files which are not finished yet.
The files are created by an ABAP programm. The creation could
take some seconds. If the file adapter polls while creation is not
finished, we have a problem.
The flag "Process Read-Only Files" is not set, so the ABAP programm
doesn't seem to set the file to read only.
Is there a way to check (e.g. with an operating system command) if the
file is processed completly?
For example I could check if the date of creation is higher than 10 minutes
or something like this.
Any other ideas?
thanks
chris

What is the file adapter option you are using?
If NFS, you have the option "Milliseconds check before modification" that will prevent the file from being picked up till they are completly written.
If FTP, then when the file is being written to the ftp folder you should have the option to use temporary files option

File Adapter : read XML file with data validation and file rejection ?

Hello,
In order to read a XML file with the file adapter, I have defined a XSD that I have imported to my project.
Now the File Adapter reads the file correctly but it does not give an error when:
- the data types are not valid. Ex: dateTime is expected in a node and a string is provided
- the XML file has invalid attributes.
How can I manage error handling for XML files ?
Should I write my own Java XPath function to validate the file after is processed ? (here is an example for doing this : http://www.experts-exchange.com/Web/Web_Languages/XML/Q_21058568.html)
Thanks.

one option is to specify validateXML on the partnerlink (that describes the file adapter endpoint) such as shown here
<partnerLinkBinding name="StarLoanService">
<property name="wsdlLocation"> http://<hostname>:9700/orabpel/default/StarLoan/StarLoan?wsdl</property>
<property name="validateXML">true</property>
</partnerLinkBinding>

Dynamic file Directory : Sender File Adapter

Hi all
In one of our interface development ,at we require a dynamic Directory path at the sender file adapter ..
ex :
path = Root/A/B/C
filename = test.txt
now in Root Directory, Folder & subfolder " A ( B ( C ))) are dynamic.
Subfolder "C" wil contain the source file..
Will it possible...with Z module development..??
Regards,
Ashutosh

hi,
if you want your directory name dynamically from Payload, you can use the option variable substitustion;
For example follow below procedure:
1)in the Target directory name --> /%dir%
2)go to advanced tab and check for the variable substitution option(enable),
3)variable name:dir
Reference:Payload:mt_filetest,1,name,1
according to the given details in the communication channel your payload should be like this
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ns0:mt_filetest xmlns:ns0="urn://filetest">
<name>madhav</name>
</ns0:mt_filetest>
now directory is created with the name of madhav (Dynamically according to the payload directory name is created).
Note: points if it is useful
Thanks
Madhav

Dynamic port configured for FILE adapter is not working

Hi,
I have a simple dynamic port in an orchestration that writes a file to a file location. Here is the configuration
================
FilePort(Microsoft.XLANGs.BaseTypes.Address) = "FILE://c:\\TestFolder\\Out";
FilePort(Microsoft.XLANGs.BaseTypes.TransportType) = "FILE";
================
When I run this orchestration, the dynamic port does not write the file to the folder, however I does not show any error either. It is always in "Ready to Run" state where the message is "Queued Awaiting".
I tried all sorts of combinations like FILE:// FILE:\\ File: file:// file:\\ etc... and also without the moniker, just c:\.... I get the same problem.
when I use a static port(subscribed to the same message) it works fine. When I use a static port ALONGWITH this dynamic port then both works fine !!! I receive 2 files.
but when I use only dynamic port it does not work!!
Anybody knows how to solve it.
THANKS IN AVANCE
PLEASE HELP
Surya

It could be becasue you 're not passing in the file name, Try something like this..
SndPort_Dynamic(Microsoft.XLANGs.BaseTypes.Address)=@"file://C:\Test\Try\Out\Test1.xml";
But even when you don't pass the file name, i was expecting the erro to be like:
The FILE send adapter cannot open file C:\TestFolder\Out\ for writing.
Details: The system cannot find the path specified.
But try with File Name and restart the host instance after the change.
Or use somehting like this:
FilePort(Microsoft.XLANGs.BaseTypes.Address)=@"file://C:\Test\Try\Out\\%MessageID%.xml";
FilePort(Microsoft.XLANGs.BaseTypes.TransportType) = "File";
If this answers your question please mark it accordingly. If this post is helpful, please vote as helpful.

File adapter validate file checking directory for files

Hi Gurus,
We have requirement. There are 3 directories (Processing, Error and Archive)in the Source side.SAP PI need to pick up a file called "abc.txt" from the processing tab.
But there is a condition.
1. If "abc.txt" file exists in the "Error" directory then Not process the interface.
2. If there is no "abc.txt" file in the "Error" directory then validate the file "abc.txt" in the "Processing" directory. If the file is not according to the validation rule then move the "abc.txt" file to the "Error" directory and then stop the processing.
3. if the above two conditions are ok then move the "abc.txt" file to "archive" directory and send the file to PI.
Please help me to achive this requirement.

Hi Kevin,
You need to use the option of "advanced selection for source file" in the source tab of sender comm. channel.
