EDI - Seeburger: Replace existing VAN FTP connection.

Hi All,
We have running EDI interface in PI using Seeburger adaptor and GXS VAN service provider using FTP channel.
Now one of our Vendors has upgraded to PowerTrack system and hence they can not accept FTP connections.
Instead they are asking us to use SFTP, HTTPS AS2 or webportal upload.
Without disturbing much of our existing setup in PI how can we change the VAN connection? And what is the best suitable way?
I am new to XI so detailed explanation will be much helpful.
Thanks and Regards,
Atul

You'll need to change the adapter you're using in your communication channel. For SFTP and AS2 you'll need a new adapter (like aedaptive for SFTP and AS2 or seeburger for just AS2). HTTPS is supported default by PI.

SeeBurger Receiver VAN/FTP Adapter: where to mention the target path

Hi,
I am using SeeBurger VAN/FTP adapter for IDOC-XI-EDI scenario.
In seeburger receiver VAN/FTP adapter, where I have to set the target path. My target path is very long (15 characters).
I am able to configure Host, Port, User id and password.
Please suggest where to put the path name in seeburger receiver VAN/FTP adapter.
Thanks,
Madan Agrawal

HI Madan,
Can you please tell me which VAN provider you are meant to use? It is the same question which Prateek asked above 'which protocol' without this it is hard to help dude.
I just checked and half of them don't want you to use this field 'host path;
Also the error is different ...
1) Are you doing FTP or FTPS?
2) which VAN/Protocol

Dreamweaver CS4 Search & Replace / FTP connectivity / ctrl + B, ctrl + c

Hi all,
CS4 Search and Replace / FTP connectivity ISSUES:
I use Search and replace tools for some large replace operations on live websites.. However when searching and replacing.. Dreamweaver is constantly having to establish a connection between the server for each file I search and replace in.
Programs like Pspad have this down to a T. Any chance we can have an update to make the search and replace is faster. It's utterly useless at the moment.
Biggest problem is if the connection to the server fails whilst searching and replacing text in a document.. The file gets removed from the server.. I have lost now 3 website pages because of this. I edit files live because they are within a test environment.. I don't like working locally because I know programs like Pspad are capable of being extremely fast at editing live.
Because of this issue, I have had to stop using dreamweaver CS4 for now..
ctrl + B, ctrl + C ISSUES
When pressing ctrl + b to add strong tags to text.. Sometimes it doesn't work and I have to goto the keyboard tag editor.. close it again.. Then it works again. So there's a bug there.
And sometimes ctrl + c copies as if it does (ctrl + a, ctrl + c) ... And it stops once again when I goto keyboard tags and close it again..
Explain that hehe!
All the best and thanks in advance.

Use of see burger adapter replacing with File (FTP) adapter

Hi All,
My current scenario is file to proxy and want to replace file adapter with the see burger adapter.
Can any one expalin step by step procedure(after installation of see burger adapter in SDM) using sender see burger adapter with the port details?
For this do we need to write any adapter modules in integration directory?
Also pls give me clarification on 850 and 997 messages?
Regards,
Nani.

Hi,
Deploy the standard seeburger mapping provided by see burger on XI .Then you need to call that mapping in the adapter module which does the conversion from EDI to XML and XML to EDI. You need to call the BIC module in the communication channel configuration and configure the module parameters like
bic- destSourceMsg = MainDocument
bic- destTargetMsg = MainDocument
bic- mappingName-something like ....See_E2X_ANSIX12_850_V4010
Once if you are able to convert the edifile to xml, then the remaining proxy configuration will be same as just for normal scenarios.
>>For this do we need to write any adapter modules in integration directory
You can use the standard BIC module or you can very well write your own adapter module to convert EDI to xml and configure it in the communication channel.
>>>Also pls give me clarification on 850 and 997 messages
850 is purchaseorder EDI document and 997 is the functional acknowledgement
The links provided by Luis will really help you in understanding the basics. Also go through the below links

FTPS connection to GXS

Hello!
I am trying to establish a FTPS connection to our VAN GXS using these settings/credentials:
The processing starts and after 20-30 minutes I am getting the following error message:

Thank you!

Setting 'replace existing' as default.

I've connected an external hard drive to my Mac, due to a lack of internal hard drive space. I have moved my iTunes library to the external, but now I want to replace my existing files with Apple Lossless ones before I put all my CDs in the loft.
When inserting a CD I get a pop-up asking me if I want to replace existing etc., so what I want to know is if there is a way of getting rid of this message and importing/replacing without getting this prompt?
Cheers.

The variable that is used in this report is 1VERP. You can changed this via GS12 to enter the whatever plan version to default under the default value. For your information, the report group 1AIP is run when you run the t-code S_ALRr_87013613, which inturn runs the report 1AIP-001 that incorporate the variable 1VERP under the plan data for version selection.
But this may not be the best practise, because you will be changing the SAP standard, which will be overwritten when you upload support packages or do an upgrade. Better you copy this report and use your own version variable, by copying the 1VERP.

Transfering .csv file from SAP to NON-SAP using FTP connection

Dear All,
I am able to place the .CSV file successfully to other system using FTP connection, but when i open the file I could see the gaps between each record. I mean 1st line with the 1st record and 2nd line having a GAP and 3rd line with the 2nd record and so ..on as shown below
1     1/1/2009     0     41000027
2     1/1/2009     0     41000027
3     1/1/2009     0     41000027
I have declared an internal table as below
TYPES: BEGIN OF ty_charlist,
         line(5000) type c,
       END OF ty_charlist.
DATA: w_charlist TYPE ty_charlist,
             t_charlist TYPE TABLE OF ty_charlist.
And concatenating each field seperated by ','
CONCATENATE res1 res2 res3 res4 res5 res6 res7 res8 res9 res10 res11 res12 res13 res14 res15 res16 res17 res18 res19 res20 res21 res22 res23 res24 res25 res26 res27 res28 res29 res30 res31 res32 res33 res34 res35 res36 res37 res38 res39

Adding a site to a ftp connection

Hi,
Just upgraded to DW CS4 and in doing so I pressed a wrong
button...!
I have numerous sites in my site manager window and one I am
working on has reverted to being nothing more than an ftp
connection. This was my fault as I went back into the set-up window
for the site (edit site) and made it an ftp connection only, rather
than a full site with connections to local folders as well as
remote connections.
Problem is, now on the site manager list the icon has changed
from the folder with the name of the site to the ftp//sitename here
icon and I have no idea how to get it back so I have access to my
local folder.
Any help?
Thanks,
SunsV

There really isn't any way to go back from that choice.
so- Make a New site definition and pick "site" and not "RDS"
connection.

Need help to Configure FTPS connection for File Sender Adapter

Hi,
I want to Configure, FTPS connection (Secured Connection) for File Sender Adapter. Could anyone please guide me, what Information I require to configure. I just want to know what Information should I request the team inorder the configure FTPS so that it can be deployed properly.
I have checked with [SAP Help Link|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/EN/e3/94007075cae04f930cc4c034e411e1/content.htm] and while configuring the communication channel found that I need Keystore and the X.509 Certificate and Private Key. which needs to be deployed on the J2EE server by using the Visual Administrator.
Is there anything else, I need to configure.
Any help would be appreciated in this regard.
Thanks & Regards,
Varun.K

The basic things are Certificate/Keys which you already know. Usually it is enough for running a sceanrio.
However, if you have additional requirements, like FTPS for "Connection Security" for encryption, then you may need additional details like commands. Rest all settings are same as FTP.

How do I get SQL Agent to perform an FTP connection through a SSIS package?

I have created a number of SSIS packages that I am running through SQL Agent in various jobs. I have set up a Credential / Proxy for the job steps and for the most part everything runs no problem. The issue I have is with the step where I make
a connection to a FTP server and download files. In BIDS the step works fine but in SQL Agent the step times out. I presume that it has to do with the account that it is being run under but that is what I thought the Credential / Proxy was supposed
to handle (as it does for all the other steps). I am running on SQL Server 2008 R2. I have created a test job that has only one step which is to connect to the FTP server and download some text files. I have tried utilizing package configuration
files and have tried various ProtectionLevels to no avail.
Anyone have any thoughts or direction for me to take? Will continue to research and will post if I resolve this.
Thanks, Andrew

On the dev environment the ProtectionLevel is set to EncryptSensitiveWithUserKey and that is what I tried first on the prod server. Subsequently I also tried utilizing a package config file (with ProtectionLevel then of DontSaveSensitive) and have
also tried working with the ServerStorage.
For deployment I copied the relevant dtsx files to a solution on the prod server. I verified that the packages all had tested connections in the Connection Manager. I have run all the packages in the BIDS on the prod server and they all worked.
I have created a test package from scratch on the prod server to test the ftp connection. This test package runs from BIDS fine. I have set the SQL Agent file to access through the file system (no luck) and have saved the package to the SSIS Packages
and had the job step access from there (no luck either).

How can I find out the server port for a secured FTP site and creating a FTP Connection Manager

I have to create a FTP Task to go out and get the files that our 3rd party vendor will be dropping on a secured FTP site. I have all the credentials to access that Secured FTP Site and have successfully done so through FileZilla.
Now I need to set-up a FTP Task to go out and get their files and in so doing create a FTP Connection Manager. Is there any way I can determine the
Server Port number from the Secured FTP site? I let it default to 21 and tried the Test Connect and it failed.
Thanks for your review and am hopeful for a reply.

Hi ITBobbyP,
SSIS has a built in FTP task, while this only works for the FTP protocol, it doesn’t support SFTP. But there are some free clients like WinSCP and
SSIS SFTP Task Control Flow Component
available in the CodePlex which can invoked from SSIS.

SSIS SFTP Task Control Flow Component approach

FTP connection on mobile device works over wifi but fails over 3G

Hi all,
Hoping someone can help, or has come across this issue.
I am developing a mobile app using flash builder 4.6 with the flex 4.6 sdk. My app needs to transfer files via ftp.
The issue I am experiencing is that the ftp connection establishes and files transfer without a problem when connected via wifi, on both android and ios platforms.
However, when only connecting via a 3G connection on a device, a problem occurs. While I can establish a connection, when I send the USER command, I never receive a response.
A simple view with code to reproduce this issue is listed below. Has anyone come across this problem? I have been searching far and wide but cannot find anything related.
Could this be an issue with Adobe Air or the socket class? I have written equivalent code using the android sdk in eclipse, and a connection to the same server and user details works on both wifi and 3g connections.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Probably you need to write your own AIR native extension, which uses the native Android sockets..I have the same problem and I'm just starting writing the extension...I guess there is no other way..At least you test with native android socket and you confirm is fine, so we know it should work

Background scheduling of FTP Connection through R/3

Hello Friends,
I have done FTP connection by using Z-pgm which uses function FTP_CONNECT. This is working fine in Foreground mode.
But in background scheduling of the z-pgm, i am getting the <b>error as 'RFC to program SAPFTP failed'.</b>
I checked RFC destination SAPFTP in SM59. There Activation type is 'Start on Front End Work Station'. I tested the connection also. Its alright.
How to do FTP processing in Background?
Cheers,
Seema

Hello,
you could try to use RFC destination 'SAPFTPA' - it's ftp on the application server. Since SAPFTP is 'Start on Front End Work Station' and in background there is no front end work station, it can't work.

FTPs connection error:When using Variable substitution for Directory path

Hi
I am transferring data from BI to xml file via PI: Here a Client proxy from BI sends the data to PI and the PI FTPs the XML file to a remote location. For FTP I am using FTPs SSL connection.
It was working fine untill I used Variable susbstitution to determine Directory path dynamically. I am using this because different xml files are intended to goto the different locations.
I did the variable substitution like this:
Target Message Structure:
---> Target Directory: %var1%
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<MT_BI_EXTRACT_FILE>
<Header>
<Directory>/Customer</Directory>
</Header>
<Detail>
</Detail>
</MT_BI_EXTRACT_FILE>
And in the variable substitution I am doing it this way
payload:MT_BI_EXTRACT_FILE,1,Header,1,Directory,1
And the error I am getting is:
Attempt to process file failed with Error when getting an FTP connection from connection pool: com.sap.aii.af.service.util.concurrent.ResourcePoolException: Unable to create new pooled resource: iaik.security.ssl.SSLException: Peer sent alert: Alert Fatal: handshake failure

Does anybody have some Idea of this ??

Hi,
I guess the problem is not with Variable Substitution..
Error when getting an FTP connection from connection pool:
So its a connection problem..
Also check the option Disable Security check and try again...
Try to check again if the interface is executing properly without Variable substitution and let us know..
