Empty file to IDOC

Hi ,
Suppose I have an scenario with file sender and any receiver.
Many files keep coming into the FTP server at sender side and are going to XI.In case there are some empty files, what kind of validations or check have to be done.Please let me know in detail.
Regards,
Harish.

Harish,
You can Skip, process and may be you do not create message. These are the options you can do in your file sender communication channel. Also you need to be on SP19 for this option. Check this help:

File-XI-IDOC : error in sxmb_moni because of empty idoc

Hi !
I'm converting a CSV file to IDOC segments (CREMAS04).
XI uses a lookup table to convert CSV records to IDOC segments. It is normal that some records could not be converted. When I process a CSV file that has ALL non-convertable records, I get an error in sxmb_moni :
<SAP:Category>XIAdapter</SAP:Category>
<SAP:Code area="IDOC_ADAPTER">ATTRIBUTE_IDOC_RUNTIME</SAP:Code>
<SAP:P1>MSGGUID 99889D40A4D811DBAD4A0017A4510466: Tag found instead of tag IDOC BEGIN=</SAP:P1>
And the final payload is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<CREMAS04 />
In the integration repository, the occurance of the complex type CREMAS04 is "1..1", I modified the xsd to minOccurs=0 , maxOccurs=1 , and imported it, but it keeps showing me "1..1"...
How do I deal with these case ?? I don't want error red flags in monitor because of empty idocs...
Thanks.

Hi Bhavesh !
Thanks !
The problem is that because of mapping rules, the value of my target fields is SUPPRESS, not "empty".
For example, I have a file with this records:
A
A
B
A
"B" records should fill an IDOC segment, "A" not.
If I receive a file with only "A" records, for example 48 "A" records...then the IDOC segment, now, is receiving 48 SUPPRESS values...then the mapWithDefault doesn't work because they are SUPPRESS and not EMPTY.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Matias.

File sender adapter:FILE to IDOC without BPM, can't see in SXMB_MONI.

Hi all
I have a FILE - XI - IDOC Async scenario without BPM.
I configured FILE sender adapter and IDOC receiver adapter. I made a mapping to transfer file data to the structure of IDOC.
Now when i am trying to load the file using command prompt, i cud see nothing in the monitoring. Whereas if i go to the communication channel monitoring of runtime workbench, i saw that CC is polling correctly and was reading the file also.
And also wen i saw in the processed folder which i mentioned in the CC configuration for the ARCHIVE DIRECTORY, i saw that file got transferred to the folder also.
I don't understand why i cant see anything in the monitoring.
Could anybody help me to rectify the problem. Is there anything i m missing ?
Regards
Naina

Rajesh/Amar
TCode:: SXMB_ADM->Integration engine configuration->specific configuration->runtime
Trace_Level = 3 then you can get all MONI PIPELINE Steps also
I did this change but cudn't see anything in SXMB_MONI.
This is how i have configured my process:
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/XI/FiletoMultipleIDOCSplittingwithoutBPM
But instead of IDOC splitting i have simple FILE - XI -IDOC scenario.
I have configured everything exaclty the same way it is mentioned here. But for me the process is not visible at all.
I can't even see the first request message in the monitoring.
This is the message i can see in the communication channel monitoring:
2010-05-24 09:07:41 Success Channel CC_*: Entire file content converted to XML format
2010-05-24 09:07:41 Warning Channel CC_*: Empty document found. Proceed without sending message
2010-05-24 09:07:41 Success File "/xyz/ABC.txt" archived after processing
Is there any problem with the file and that could be the reason it cant convert the file to the request message MT_REQUEST and thus am not able to see anything in monitoring.
help me guys....this is a simple process and i m stuck...its frustrating

Empty file processing

Hi All,
We are using PI 7.0 with SP 18. In one of our file to Idoc scenarios when posting empty files the file is picked up and archived but we are not getting any logs in moni. Further I couldnt find any option in the sender file adaper for empty file processing.
Can anyone please clarify on this?

hi,
>>>when posting empty files the file is picked up and archived but we are not getting any logs in moni.
this is good isn't it ?
>>>Further I couldnt find any option in the sender file adaper for empty file processing.
either you don't have correct SP level or you didn't import sap basis content approriate for your SP

Empty files are getting created at receiver FTP server

Hi Experts,
I have an Idoc to File scenario where I am sending an XML file to receiver FTP server.
Scenario is working fine but sometimes an empty file is getting generated at receiver FTP server.
I have already selected ignore empty file at receiver channel so issue is not within PI system configuration.
When I checked the message log I can see that almost all the files are getting created successfully without any issues, but
for some files/messages I can see that there are below error logs.
"Transmitting the message to endpoint <local> using connection IDoc_AAE_http://sap.com/xi/XI/System failed, due to: com.sap.engine.interfaces.messaging.api.exception.MessagingException: Could not get FTP connection from connection pool (1 connections) within 5,000 milliseconds; increase the number of available connections"
"Exception caught by adapter framework: Could not get FTP connection from connection pool (1 connections) within 5,000 milliseconds; increase the number of available connections."
And after there is again success message log in the same message and it creating a file successfully during that time stamp.
but the third party is sometime receiving empty file which I am not able to find in any trace or log (my file name is SD_timestamp.xml).
Can you please let me know what is the solution and what adjustments FTP server need to do in order to resolve this issue.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Rahul Kulkarni

The error you are getting that says "Could not get FTP connection from connection pool (1 connections) within 5,000 milliseconds; increase the number of available connections" has probably nothing to do with the empty files problem.
I second Hareesh Gampa that you first should try "temporary file creation". You might also need to tell the FTP owner that he should only pick up files with that are written completely and that do comply with a negotiated file name schema. The temp file should have another schema of course then. He should not pick up just every file that is written. See here for details

File to IDOC problem .............

HI I have a file to IDOC scenario,
data from file is mapped to IDOC structure,
there is a field in the IDOC structure <name> size 50, and after that there is a field called <ID> size 4,
i populate the structure and send it to R/3, there when i see it in we05, the IDOC is seen as containing the values of both <name> and some parts of the field <ID>..in the field <name>..........
though in sxmb_moni, the IDOC structure produced is all correct

i have tried all the things u mentioned..but its not working...
i reimported everything.....refreshed everything........
somehow its taking the size as 25, and if i keep the field empty, even then it takes some values from the next field.......
is there any other places to look for............
what are the function module that i can debug to see the problem

Sender FCC with unbounded RecordSet Structure produces Empty File

Hi Experts,
My scenario is File (FTP) to IDoc, using FCC on the sender.
The source file is a flat file representation of the IDoc e.g. with the segment names preceeding each record row.
FCC parameters are as follows:
RecordSet Name: Z1RECORDSETNAME
RecordSet Structure: EDI_DC,1,E1TPDLH,1,Z1TPI2H,1,E1TPACC,E1TPTRM,,E1EDT13,,E1TPDIH,1,Z1TPI2HD,1,E1TPNOT,*
RecordSet Sequence: Variable OR Ascending
.fieldFixedLengths
.fieldNames
.keyFieldValue
.endSeparator
.keyFieldInStructure
above parameters are used in all segments, except in E1TPNOT where ignoreRecordsetName is added
My issue is when the test file contains more than 1 value for the unbounded segments E1TPTRM, E1EDT13 (e.g. 3 row values for E1TPTRM and 2 row values for E1EDT13) the Content Conversion succesfully finishes but produces an Empty File (size = 0)
Does anyone know how to fix this issue? Am i missing something in the parameters to be able to support the current file structure?
Kindly share your ideas/solution
I've tried to edit the test file to have only 1 record value for the unbounded segments and it is succesfull and does not produce an empty file.

Try giving
EDI_DC,1,E1TPDLH,1,Z1TPI2H,1,E1TPACC,E1TPTRM, * ,E1EDT13, * ,E1TPDIH,1,Z1TPI2HD,1,E1TPNOT,*
I got it, i guess even you have given the astrix after E1TPTRM and E1EDT13 and it changed to bold.
Ok ignore my answer.

File to idoc how to get file name at runtime

Hi Experts,
In my file to idoc scenario,
the requiremnt is like in mapping i have to give condition like if file name is name1 then one target filed is 40 and if file name is name2 then that target field is 60.
how can we achieve this ?
Regards,
rohit

Hi Rohit
mughdha is right but you can do it through graphical mapping easily
give condition in fix value under category conversion like this
1) source-> FIX VALUE ->if value is true then map FIX value
else nothing
double click on first FIX VALUE function and assign your input values for file (for ex 40 or 60,......) in the key field and in the value field assign TRUE
if this condition will be true the it willl map second FIX VALUE
else assign a constant with empty value
in second fix value assign values (for ex 40 or 60,......) which you have checked in first FIX VALUE function in key field and assign corresponding name which you required in the value field
hope this will solve your problem
Thanks

File to IDOC scenario : Error with mapping due to Context handling

Hi Experts.
I have a file to IDOC scenario which need your advice.

     <TransactionID>RCTV</TransactionID>
     <TotalFeedLine>96</TotalFeedLine>
     <HashTotalValue>212.00</HashTotalValue>
</Trailer>
</ns:MT_EINVOICE>
Mapping as follow:
                                               IDOC
<Control_Header>   ->    <Control_Header>
<Invoice_Header>   --> <Header_Invoice>
<Invoice_Line>      --->        removeContext --> <Line_Invoice>       this is the child node of <Header_Invoice>
<Trailer>               -
>    <Trailer>
The result of the using the above Payload get the following result which not wht I seek
<Control_Header>
<Header_Invoice>
      <Line_Invoice>
      <Line_Invoice>
     <Line_Invoice>   *** This belong to the Invoice_Line of the second <Header_Invoice> at the payload
<Header_Invoice>
     <Line_Invoice>   *** THis segment is empty
<Trailer>
I required the Line_Invoice to belong to the child of the second <Header_Invoice>, I have tried using
removecontext with splitVaue and collaspeContext but to no avail.
May I know what is my mistake on the mapping of the Invoice_Line to Line_Invoice>

Hello,
There should be something that could correlate the Invoice_Header/Key and Invoice_Line/Key. In your example, both are the same for the first and data set. If the sample looks like the one below, it is possible to sort things by correlating the Invoice_Header key and Invoice_Line key
<Invoice_Header>
<Key>000<Key>
</Invoice_Header>
<Invoice_Line>
<Key>000<Key>
</Invoice_Line>
<Invoice_Line>
<Key>000<Key>
</Invoice_Line>
<Invoice_Header>
<Key>001<Key>
</Invoice_Header>
<Invoice_Line>
<Key>001<Key>
</Invoice_Line>
An example mapping could look like this
For Header
Invoice_Header --> Header_Invoice
For Line
/InvoiceLine/Key --> removeContext --> splitByValue:valueChanged --> Invoice_Line
The subfields of the invoice line would also follow a similar logic, you just need to use formatByExample --> splitByValue:eachValue so that the context levels are the same.
Hope this helps,
Mark

Receiver-File-Adatper creates empty files on FTP-Server

Hi experts,
I have a problem with my IDOC-to-File-scenario. My Mapping converts IDOCs to XML-files. Then the xml-files should be send to a ftp-server in New York. but only the filename is created on the ftp-server in New York. but without any content.
At first I tested the scenario with a ftp-server in our company. and it works. the files and the right content were created. so the scenario and the mapping are working correctly.
Have you any idea what the problem is?
Thanks and best regrads
Christopher

Dont use anonymous login. Please provide user name and password.
Also go to adapter engine queue. There see the details description of your message. There it will specify which file got created, on which FTP server, in which folder and also how many bytes XI has transferred. If possible let me know these details.
Also try uploading any other file to FTP.
For this got to Command prompt.
1. open (o) IP ADDRESS
2. User name
3. Password
4. go to specified folder
5. Use PUT command to save the file on FTP server.
If after all these empty files is getting created then contact your system administrator and tell him to check firewall settings. Because there are few parameters which allows data transfer.
Because if firewall problem is there then u wont be able to put a file manually on that FTP server.
Let me know the output.

Strange Problem.. File to Idoc... RCVPOR is missing in control Records.

Hi All,
File to Idoc:
Sender :
Party : PT_ABC
Business Service : BS_ABC
Note : I provided the LS name(PARTABC) for BS_ABC Under Adapter Specific identifiers.
Receiver :
Business system (Without party) : BS_DEV_R/3
In the IDOC receiver communication channel, I enabled the options
-Apply COntrol records from Payload
-Take sender from Payload
-Take Receiver from Payload.
Note : When i won't enable the above three options in IDoc RCV channel... Message is not processing and showing error as "Unable to convert the sender service BS_ABC to an ALE logical system..!"..
File is picked and message processed and when i checked in SXMB_MONI,Idoc control records are showing clearly like below.
- <EDI_DC40 SEGMENT="1">
<TABNAM>EDI_DC40</TABNAM>
<DIRECT>2</DIRECT>
<IDOCTYP>ORDERS05</IDOCTYP>
<CIMTYP>ORDERS05</CIMTYP>
<MESTYP>ORDERS</MESTYP>
<STDMES />
<SNDPOR>SAPDPI</SNDPOR>
<SNDPRT>LS</SNDPRT>
<SNDPRN>PARTABC</SNDPRN>
<RCVPOR>SAPDL1</RCVPOR>
<RCVPRT>LS</RCVPRT>
<RCVPRN>DEVSAP</RCVPRN>
</EDI_DC40>
But the Idoc is reached to R/3 with status '56' .And in the control records.. the receiver port (SAPDPI) is missing.
I dunno what happened.When i cross checked, the remaining interfaces are working perfectly.
Any idea whats going wrong?
Regards
Deepthi.

As a matter of fact it is not strange at all:)
It means you need to check the partner profile in the receiving r/3 system. This type of problem occurs because you need to define the partner profile PARTABC to the IDOC ORDERS05. If this association is missing you would always see the RCVPOR missing in the destination system.
Also you have mentioned that "Note : When i won't enable the above three options in IDoc RCV channel... Message is not processing and showing error as "Unable to convert the sender service BS_ABC to an ALE logical system..!"..
This is because for the BS_ABC sender service you must have a logical system associated; you can check the same by looking at the adapter specific identifiers. In your case I believe it is empty so the system can't find the logical system for it.

Empty payload for idoc adapter

Hello,
I have a file to idoc scenario with an xslt mapping. Normaly after the mapping the idoc looks like:
<wpwuw>-
<idoc>...</idoc>
<idoc>...</idoc>
</wpwuw>
Because of the business requirements in some cases the mapping should not generate an idoc. That means I have to create an empty payload.
The problem is that the idoc adapter creates an error for all kinds of empty messages.
a) empty payload
b) empty trading segment ( <wpwuw></wpwuw> )
c) empty idoc segment ( <wpwuw>-<idoc/>-</wpwuw> )
Any idea what I can do not to get an error from the idoc adapter ?
Regards Bernd

HI
instead of creating empty paylaod. Use conditional(enhanced for mapping & standard for condition on Xpath) receiver determination for this and dont generate IDOC for the specified conditions.
Thanks

File-to-idoc erro while creating IDOC

Hi,
I am working FIL-TO-IDOC scenario.
my idoc : DESADV.DELVRY03.
while creating IDOC in target end created with error status 51.
the error is POSEX field is empty.
I gave the value for POSEX then i tried it is giving another error..'field POSEX is empty'
actully what i need to give for POSEX.
where do i find the POSEX value for delivery document.
Please can any one help me to create succefully with Delyry03 idoc.
I have another douts also..to create the Delivery document IDOC is DESADV.DELVRY03 is correct or not...if any other IDOC's is there to create delivery document.

venu.

Hi Venu,
<i>>>>I have another douts also..to create the Delivery document IDOC is DESADV.DELVRY03 is correct or not...if any other IDOC's is there to create delivery document.</i>
This IDOC is the right one.
POSEX is the external item number. How many line items are there, I mean how many delivery items are there? Are you sure you are assigning POSEX for all the records?
Thanks,
Prakash

○ 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.
