Empty file in sender comm channel

i have issue with the empty files coming from the sender which are getting processed and getting saved in given file location.
Now the problem is,these files donot contain data and rather just gets outputted with header and trailer with some dummy data usually spaces,some zeros,-- like this...,this makes the file size of some 444 bytes or 834 bytes but as it is not having any data,we need to goto SXMB_MONI everyday,check for files,if its empty,needs to cancel them manually because it appears in red flag.
To avoid this,i was thinking of setting the empty file option in processing of communication channel to SKIp messages or delete messages.
Am i right in this approach?
From other thread:
"Currently when a process fails in PI due to an empty file the process needs to be manually set to u201Ccancelledu201D,where to locate in PI,what could be the problem and how it is to be solved.i have asked a similar question and hope that this error will help."
please reply and show me right way of resolving this.
thanks!
cheers!

Hi,
As per ur req, its nt possible in this way.
The empty file handling means the whole file is empty, the size is 0k.
So in ur req, empty file means Header and Trailer present, but no data Records.
we can achive this in following ways also,
1.write an adapter module, to check if at all there is atleast there is 1 Data record, if not throw exception there itself.
2.In the mapping check if at all there is any Data Record. If no Data Records raise exception and also the Alerts.

Problem with „Empty-File Handling" in PI 7.11

Hi,
Iu2019m working in PI 7.11 with file adapter, Sender CC, option: Empty-File Handling: Process Empty Files.
What I want to do is giving target file the system-date, if the source file is empty.
But I always get a mapping error in RTWB: Premature end of file.
It seems that the payload is empty.
Any idea?
Thanks a lot in advance!

What I want to do is giving target file the system-date, if the source file is empty.
The error you are getting makes sense. You should do a check in the mapping, if the payload is empty then use brute force to pass the system date.

Empty File Handling in xLink adapter

Helloo Experts
I am doing a scenario, which creates an empty file(when some mapping condition doesnt satisfy).
I dont want to write this empty file in the target directory.
This can be handled if a file adapter is used, but I am using a SOAP AXIS adapter, so I dont know how to handle this here.
I alaso tried using the StrictXml2PlainBean to avoid the creation, it creates 0 documents and a 0kb empty file.
Can anyone please let me know how this can be solved????
Also if some one has done this empty file handling in J2SE file adapter...can you tell how it was done.
Thanks a lot!!!!!!
Regards
Shobha

Hi Gabriel,
You can write a simple script to copy a file from source folder to target in case the fiel size is ZERO bytes. The script will not copy the file if the filesize is more than zero bytes, This will be processed normally by PI server. You can call the script from sender communication channel parameter : "RUN OS command before message processing". Could you please specify the Operating System (OS) you are using in your PI server.

Empty File Handling : Do Not Create Message

Hi,
I have set this option in Sender CC - file.
Parameters --> Processing.
I dont want to pass file to reciever , when file is empty.
Will the above option "Do Not Create Message" do the trick.
OR do i need to choose something else??
-santosh.

Santosh,
Yes. The trick will work for empty file handling.
When your incoming file is empty then will be no xml message posted to IE and hence receiver will not get any message.
FYI: Also you can use skip empty files which will do the same but here the files will remain in your source directory.

Prasanthi.

Sending empty files using SFTP Adapter

I am trying to send empty files using SFTP adapter. The interface has to send the file whether its empty file or containing data using SFTP adapter. I am using BizTalk Server 2013 R2. Is it a bug or the hotfix is already there for this issue.

The issue here is not your SFTP not able to send 0KB files, but the file receive adapter that is receiving the file. The file adapter deletes 0 KB files and doest not transmit it further.
If u have a ftp receive for example you should be able to send 0KB files.
If u have a custom file receive adapter , is it handling 0KB files ?

Empty-Message Handling is not working in receievr File Adapter

Hi All,
I have selected "Empty-Message Handling" = 'Ignore'in Receiver File adapter, but still empty files are creating in target directory.
Message mapping generates output based on the conditon, if the condition is 'false' mapping will generate empty file (no data is being mapped).
Why Receiver file adapter is processing empty fiels even i set 'ignore' empty fiels in configuration (ID)?
Hoe can i manage not to place empty fiels in target directory?
File type is '.txt'
Your help would be appreiciated greatly.
Thanks,
Rajesh

Not sure why is it not working. Make sure the channel is activated and cache is refreshed properly. But as a workaround you may use OS script checking for size of message and deleting it or configure a BPM to avoid the file creation. Or else an adapter module as shown

How to Handle Empty Files

Hi Experts,
I am doing File to File Scenario.
If my Sender systems file is Empty , that means there is no Records in the File .
How to Handle Empty Files ??????????
I want to know For both Sender and As wel as Receiver Adapters
Please Let me know..
Regards
Khanna

See if u are having a sender file adapter and the file is empty u can tell the if it has to 'Process the empty file' or 'Skip the empty file processing'.
Similarly if you have a message to going to your Receiver file adapter and the message is empty then you can decide still if you want to create a 'File with empty records' or skip creating the same.

Empty File handling and raise alert.

Hi,
We have requirement where we are doing file pass through. But client wants PI to raise alert when it receives 0 byte file.
How can we achieve this using File/FTP/SFTP adapter when we are not reading the actual payload and doing only pass thru?
Thanks,
Vertika

Hi Vertika,
AFAIK - there is no standard way for pass through interface to raise alert (for empty file). so you need to develop adapter module to raise the alert for empty file.
Please refer the help page
Configuring the Sender File Adapter - Advanced Adapter Engine - SAP Library
Under Handling of Empty Files, specify how empty files (length 0 bytes) are to be handled:
Do Not Create Message No XI messages are created from empty files.The files are processed according to the selected processing mode.For example, if the processing mode is Delete, empty files are deleted in the source directory.
Process Empty Files XI messages are created with an empty main payload.The files are processed according to the selected processing mode.
Skip Empty Files No XI messages are created from empty files.Empty files are skipped and remain in the source directory.

"file.txt" does not exist, or file is empty; you cannot upload empty files

All,
I am trying to upload a file in Content Management --> Explorere --> 'Public Document' and get the following error "file.txt" does not exist, or file is empty; you cannot upload empty files.
We have a EP 2004s install.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Try have a look at the following note: 898637: Upload to KM does not work
<a href="https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/oss_notes/sdn_oss_ep_km/~form/handler%7B5f4150503d3030323030363832353030303030303031393732265f4556454e543d444953504c4159265f4e4e554d3d383938363337%7D">Upload to KM does not work</a>
The error seems to be related to a problem with writing into the directory for temporary data.

Empty file handling in Receiver File adapter (FCC - Premature end of file)

Hi
My interface is Flat file to Flat File interface with file content conversion which is working fine in SAP PI 7.1 EHP1.
If I want to process the empty file from sender system, PI should place the same empty file in the receiver FTP Location as per my requirement.
I am facing the below error message when PI tries to place the empty file.
Message processing failed. Cause: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: Premature end of file.
But if I am not using FCC, I am able to get the empty file at the receiver end.
Please suggest on this, If I am using FCC in the receiver side.
Thanks
