Empty file pickup or not

Hi all
is it possible for pickup emty file , if it ok where is it configuration in file adapter?

Hi,
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.
But this option is not available in some service packs.
I hope it is available in SP 19.

radhika.

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.

Installed 7 created dupe empty files in library...any way to easily delete?

I upgraded to the new Itunes. It initially lost my whole library settings..i.e. there were only empty files which would not play. I reset the link to the library, which is on a external drive, and consolidated the files. I now have doubled the library up so there are 3000+ files which are duplicated and dont play AND the same amount which do play. I know I can delete the duplicated empty files one by one by highlighting the exclamation point and delete. Is there a way to do this en masse? I did 600 or so and I think I have a repetitive motion disorder....

File does not exist, or file is empty; you cannot upload empty files

Hello,
I've a problem when trying to upload any file to KM Repository (Content Administrator-KM Content-Root-documents). It shows the following error: File does not exist, or file is empty; you cannot upload empty files.
I have applied SAP note 898637 but is still not working. We're using SAP EP 7.0 SP11.
Please, what could be the problem?
Thanks in advance,
Belé

We've put the Java paremeters in Configtool.bat :
-Djava.io.tmpdir=c:/EP_TEMP

I hope this helps you,

The file "?" could not be opened because it is empty.

I put about 30 photos on my thumb drive so I could take them with me. I saw them on the drive at one point, now on some of them I am getting the error; "The file "?" could not be opened because it is empty." The file still is large in size, and there is data there, but "Preview" will not open it. These are important photos for work, and I want to know if there is any other way to retrieve them. Also, does anyone out there know why it did this. Only some of the photos can no longer be opened, and I did NOT edit any of them. I simply drug them over to a portable drive.
Thank you,
Darren

Does this involve iPhoto in some way?

File Content Conversion Problem of not generating empty file

Hi All,
i have 3 input text files for my BPM to process.
if any of the text file is empty, i need to generate an alert message that the file is empty........but the problem is file adapter does not generate a XML message for the empty text file..........
Can anybody suggest how to generate the alert if any of the 3 text files is empty.
Thanks,
Rajeev Gupta

Rajeev~
I dont find ur mail Id in ur Business card.Post the same..I will send you across a PDF with steps to write a adapter module.You would need to extend the same to check the payload for empty data and accordingly create a XML payload with checkpointer.
For validating this value in a BPM use the FORK step and check the payload in the condition editor.
Refer to this url for the same.

Empty file not cleaned out by the cleaner

Another day, another post about cleaner. Let me describe a problem on this sample dataset I have.
I have a small BDB with the following 4 files
-rw-rw-r-- 1 apps apps 34M Jul 18 21:58 00000061.jdb

To me this looks like file 61 could be compacted out.
In a separate program, I try to clean/compact it.
 props.put("je.log.fileMax", "1000000");
 props.put("je.cleaner.minUtilization", "90");
 props.put("je.cleaner.minFileUtilization", "5");
 props.put("je.cleaner.minAge", "1");
 props.put("je.cleaner.readSize", "64000000");
 props.put("je.cleaner.lookAheadCacheSize", "64000");
 props.put("je.maxMemory", "64000000");
followed by open and do something like this
boolean anyCleaned = false;
while (bdbEnv.cleanLog() > 0) {
anyCleaned = true;
if (anyCleaned) {
CheckpointConfig force = new CheckpointConfig();
force.setForce(true);
bdbEnv.checkpoint(force);
cleanLog() does not indicate that anything can be cleaned.
If I force it with this property (bad practice), it does clean up and create 2 nicely compacted 30M files.
props.put("je.cleaner.forceCleanFiles", "0-1000");
I have the following questions
1) How can I get it to clean without forcing it? I am okay with extra resources to be used in cleaning it, because we have a set of files produced every hour that we never write to again, so once they are produced, I can spend some time on compacting/cleaning them for good. I can see that we are using 50% more space here, and that would be fine, but I did specify je.cleaner.minFileUtilization to be 5% so empty files should be removed.
2) I also thought that setting je.log.fileMax would create files that are no more than 10M, but I am getting files that are 33M for some reason. The BDBs were created using same set of parameters.
We are using 3.3.75 version. There is a newer version, but release notes do not make me think that this is going to be affected.
P.S. We actually have a support contract, but I thought I'd post here first. We use BDB quite a lot in our large scale distributed system.
-Emile

Emile and I resolved this over email and I'd like to let everyone else know what happened, for the record and in case you run into it.
This is a case where there is only one JE log file that has low utilization and needs cleaning -- all other log files have high utilization. A separate program is run that calls Environment.cleanLog and checkpoint in order to force the cleaning to occur. It closes the environment immediately after performing the cleaning.
Here's what happened. File 61 is the file that needs cleaning.
1. When the environment is opened, the built-in log cleaner daemon thread starts. It determines that log cleaning is needed, so it selects file 61 and starts cleaning it.
2. Then the app calls cleanLog, which returns 0 because there are no files to be cleaned. File 61 is already being cleaned by the daemon thread.
3. The app very quickly finishes and closes the environment, which aborts any log cleaning that is in progress. The cleaning of file 61 in the daemon thread is aborted.
This is solved by disabling the cleaner daemon thread during the batch cleaning process. This is done by setting
je.env.runCleaner=false
in je.properties. You can also use EnviornmentConfig.ENV_RUN_CLEANER with EnvironmentConfig.setConfigParam.
We'll add a note to the documentation of the cleanLog method about this.
Emile, thanks for reporting this and working with me on it.

Dummy XML not getting generated from empty file by J2EE adapter module

Hi All,
i know when XI gets an empty input text file, it does not generate a send message for it in sender communication channel.
in my scenario, if i get a file with data, i have to generate an XML message for it using file content conversion - this i have done...........
but if i get an empty text file, then i have to generate a dummy XML send message for it for my BPM.......
So i made a J2EE adapter module to generate dummy xml for empty file.....when i give a file with data in it, then my adapter module is called..... but when i give an empty file, then my adapter module is not called.........
Can anybody suggest why the module processor is not invoking my customer-adapter module when an empty file is given.............but the module processor is invoking my customer-adapter module when a file with data is given.
Thanks,
Rajeev Gupta

Hi Amit,
Below is the code of process method which i used:
public ModuleData process(ModuleContext moduleContext,
ModuleData inputModuleData)
 throws ModuleException
Object obj;
Message msg_audit;
AuditMessageKey amk;
try
File f = new File("/components/XITEMP/sample/PWC/check.txt");
PrintStream ps;
if (f.canWrite())
FileOutputStream fos =new FileOutputStream(f);
ps = new PrintStream(fos);
ps.println("Testing");
ps.close();
fos.close();
else
f = new File("/components/XITEMP/sample/PWC/check4.txt");
if (f.exists() ==false)
f.createNewFile();
obj = inputModuleData.getPrincipalData();
if (obj!=null)
msg_audit = (Message)obj;
amk = new AuditMessageKey(msg_audit.getMessageId(),AuditDirection.OUTBOUND);
Audit.addAuditLogEntry(amk,AuditLogStatus.SUCCESS,"FileCheck: Module called");
else
String str = new String();
String str1 = new String();
 str1="<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"utf-8\" ?>";
 str1+="<ns:MT_PWC_RECORD xmlns:ns=\"urn://PWC_SR3_01/PWC/Customer\">";
 str1+="<RECORD_SET>";
 str1+="<RECORD>";
 str1+="<RECORD_DATA>BLANK_FILE</RECORD_DATA>";
 str1+="</RECORD>";
 str1+="</RECORD_SET>";
 str1+="</ns:MT_PWC_RECORD>";
str=str1;
inputModuleData.setPrincipalData(str);
catch(Exception e)
try
File f = new File("/components/XITEMP/sample/PWC/check.txt");
PrintStream ps;
if (f.canWrite())
FileOutputStream fos =new FileOutputStream(f);
ps = new PrintStream(fos);
ps.println(e.toString());
ps.close();
fos.close();
catch(Exception ex)
return inputModuleData;
 }
in the above methood, i used file operations at start just to see whether the module is getting invoked or not...so when i give a data file, then the file operations are performed and messages are written in audit log.........but when i give an empty file, then the file operations are not performed - meaning the module is not getting invoked........
Thanks,

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

XI can not process empty files

Hi All,
We have some problems as SAP is sending empty files.
are there any way to avoid this kind of files?
Actually an error happens when an empty file is sended. Xi is not able to process it and this empty files blocks the correct execution of the following files.
Thanks a lot in advance and kind regards

Hi Masters,
We had an error this morning. This is the log:
2007-04-12 08:00:00 UTC: Error: File 'Diageo_Multisite_col.dat': Archiving to file'/data/backup/20070412-080000-296_Diageo_Multisite_col.dat' on FTP Server after processing failed: FTPEx: Transfer complete.
The file Diageo_Multisite_col.dat is Zero bytes.
It is not important as this file will be overwrited tomorrow and the interface will be executed.
But in other interfaces that take a lot of files, if one is empty XI does not process any of them and does not provide any log. Until Zero bytes files will be deleted XI will not process files.
Hope it helps somebody to help me in order to understand the problem
Thank you very much
Regards.

Do not show empty files in XI

Hi all, i have an escenario with somethimes, generates an empty file, and times no, it depends on the information that the idoc send me.
If the file is empty, how can i tell to xi that i should not be generated.

I hope you can help me.

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.
it has to work.. can you confirm which is the SP you are on?
Also confirm if the file size of the empty file is 0 bytes.

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.

Downloading files - can I block the empty file from appearing at all? I'm not talking about the .part file, but the one that disappears later anyways.

Let's say I'm downloading several files, for each file that I'm downloading two new files appear in my download folder. For 'vol1.rar' I have ''an empty'' 'vol1.rar' and a 'vol1.rar.part' file, same for 'vol2.rar', 'vol3.rar', etc.
I would like to block this empty 'vol1.rar' file from appearing at all - it disappears after the download is finished anyway, and the .part file gets renamed with the actual name.
I'm downloading files to my desktop, from where I move them to the folders I want them in - having this disappearing 2nd file messes up the order I download the files in - if I add a new file after one of the files I was downloading has finished, the file be placed in the empty spot that the finished file has created, making it harder for me to move to the correct folder.
A lot of people have asked if it was possible to turn off the .part file, but I haven't seen a single thread about the empty file instead.
I know this file isn't necessary, because I moved it to another folder/deleted it many times before the download was finished and the real file was still fine.
So, any ideas as to how to block this file?

I don't believe there is any way to prevent file downloading if you allow internet access at all. as Király says, whatever they download and install will be limited to the guest account and will go poof on the logout.
however you can disable CD/DVD and external drives access. some of it can be done by enabling parental controls on the guest account. for more options you can install server admin tools
http://support.apple.com/downloads/ServerAdmin_Tools_105
and use workgroup manager to set further restrictions on the guest account.
P.S. workgroup manager can also forbid guest to mount disk images which will effectively make it impossible to install any programs at all even in the guest account.
