Error in processing empty files

We have a requirement where in we the source system sends an empty file (xml,csv,txt) and XI shud process this file and send it to the target systems.
It is a file 2 file scenario we are using.
I have checked the option in the file adapter which says "process empty files"
I see the Error message displayed in the Abap stack Unable to read payload from the message object
Can some one point me how to process this empty file.
Thanks,
Nandini

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.
These three options are available for handling empty files in XI SP 19 and PI SP 10 and above.
Select the option :Do Not Create Message"

Process Empty file Exception

hi guys,
i faced a weired problem, i got this error in the monitoring it's about processing empty files,
i have to process empty files but without having this exception
<SAP:Stack>com.sap.aii.utilxi.misc.api.BaseRuntimeException thrown during application mapping com/sap/xi/tf/_MM_R2_FILE_PROXY_: Parsing an empty source. Root element expected!</SAP:Stack>
thank you.

Hi
-->In the Empty file handling we have different options as per your requirement you must and should select PROCESS EMPTY FILES options ignore the rest of the two options available.
-->So i suggest you to bypass the IR and directly configure the ID and use dummy interface and dummy namespace so by configuring as mentioned above we can process the empty files.
Thanks

Process empty file : file (fcc) to rfc

Hi Experts,
I have a scenario where. I have to process files and send it to rfc..
file to rfc scenario...
now basically.. when the file is empty the content conversion does not produce any payload and throws error..
can u pls help me in this?

Hello,
The problem is that XI will pick up th file with empty payload.. but as there is no content in the file...
the content conversion cannot be done
The content conversion will still be done except that it will not output anything. To do this, set your recordset occurrence to * instead of 1
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwpi711/helpdata/en/44/6713ec3f914ddee10000000a1553f7/content.htm
and mapping throws error...
Since there is no output, the mapping will really throw an error. What you can do is to place a dummy structure, you can use a two-step mapping to do this, in your operation mapping use Java Mapping as your first mapping and in the second mapping, your actual mapping graphical mapping e.g
1.) Read the inputstream and then check if there is a structure. If there is a structure, the Java mapping just passes it to the outputstream. If it is not, then Java mapping will write the dummy structure into outputstream. (Java Mapping)
2.) Output from 1 is passed to Message Mapping
Can you tell us the reason why empty files are needed to be processed? Because this adds overhead in the AE.
Hope this helps,
Mark

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:
<i>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.</i>
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.

How to Process empty file in Text (FCC) to Text (FCC) file scenario using G

Interface has to pick text files from the source system and deliver on target system as text file. If the source text file is empty (zero Bytes), interface has to delivery an empty text file on target system.
To accomplish this , we have developed an interface in PI system using graphical mapping and to process and delivery the empty files used empty file handling options on both communication channels. We have used Graphical mapping to transform the source file.
Interface is working fine if the source file is not empty. But in case of empty file, interface failed with an error message 'Parsing an empty source. Root element expected!' . We tried with all the available option on graphical mapping editor to fix the issue. But none of the options are worked.
Could you please let me know how to fix this issue.

Hi,
If you are picking empty text file and to put the same empty text file as (FCC) on the reciever side, then need not do any mapping, Also skip IR part.
To developing this interface, there is no need to create any objects in the Integration Repository (IR). This means no mapping. if the data is not in XML, then no mapping can be done. So, only need to work in the Integration Directory (ID).
For this scenario we can use only with integration directory in the XI.
Open Integration Directory and create new scenario
Create Business Service
Create sender Communication Channel with parameter of the source location
Create receiver Communication Channel with parameter of the target location
Create Sender Agreement with outbound Interface = <DummyInterface>, Namespace = <DummyNamespace> and sender Communication Channel
Create Receiver Determination with outbound Interface = <DummyInterface> and Namespace = <DummyNamespace>
Create Interface Determination with inbound Interface = <DummyInterface> and Namespace = <DummyNamespace>
Create Receiver Agreement with inbound Interface = <DummyInterface>, Namespace = <DummyNamespace> and receiver Communication Channel
Activate
Note: The <DummyInterface> should be unique and the <DummyNamespace> can either be an existing namespace or a new namespace.

Please help me!

Not sure why you want to replace. Since the response of the proxy would remain to hold the request body by default.
If you have stored the opaque element in a variable ($var_opaque), then you can do the following.
XPath : .
In variable : body
Expression : $var_opaque
Check - "Replace node content"

Processing Empty files

Hi Friends,
We got a scenario of processing empty XML files with output as empty files.
Two possible soultions are with the help of custom modules in Sender adapters and by using XSLT mapping by adding the XML tags if the payload is empty.
Is there is any other easy way around?
Can anyone provide the java coding for this...
system details XI 3.0 ,SP-18.
Thanks &Regards,
Sunil.

Hi Ramesh,
The only option left open to me is using custom module adapters to convert the empty payload to ...
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ns0:MT_Source_OB xmlns:ns0="http:
MyNameSapce">
</ns0:MT_Source_OB>
....before the CallSapAdapter.
Any Help to build the EJB modules?
Regards,
Sunil.

WCF-NET TCP Error when processing X12 file

Hi ,
Is it that WCF-NET TCP adapter only processes Xml file? I am trying to send x12 message through Send port wth Passthrough Pipeline and Net-Tcp configuration, but fails for invalid root node error: (below)
Send Port is subscribing to a Receive Port which has pass through on receive with File adapter ( I don't want to do EDI receive when receiving this file - just to convert it to Xml)
A message sent to adapter "WCF-NetTcp" on send port "port......._InputPassThru_snd" with URI "net.tcp://localhost:808/totemp" is suspended.
Error details: System.Xml.XmlException: Data at the root level is invalid. Line 1, position 1.
   at System.Xml.XmlTextReaderImpl.Throw(Exception e)
   at System.Xml.XmlTextReaderImpl.Throw(String res, String arg)
   at System.Xml.XmlTextReaderImpl.ParseRootLevelWhitespace()
   at System.Xml.XmlTextReaderImpl.ParseDocumentContent()

The thing is, if you're using the WCF Net-TCP adapter, the receive is expecting a SOAP formatted message over TCP. The Net-TCP binding is 'binary' because there is no encoding layer, but the message is still SOAP.
If you really need to send binary data over TCP, you would use the BizTalk TCP/IP Adapter from CodePlex:

Hi,
you can handle it using Adapter modules....
if you have SP Greater than 14 then you can handle it in the adapter configuration itself...........

Duplicate Records error when processing transaction file....BPC 7.0

Hi All,
I have a situation. I am using BPC NW 7.0 and I have updated my dimension files. When I try to validate my transaction file every single record is validated successfully. But when I try to import the flat file into my application, I am getting a lot of dupplication records error and these are my questions.
1. Will we get duplicate records in transaction files?
2. Even if there are duplication, since it is a cube it should summarize not display that as a error and reject records?
3. Is there something I can do to accept duplicates (I have checked the Replace option in the data package, to overwrite the simillar records, but it is only for account, category and entity only.
5. In mycase I see identical values in all my dimension and the $value is the only difference. Why is it not summing up.
Your quickest reply is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Alex.

Hi,
I have the same problem.
In my case the file that I want to upload has different row that differ for the nature column. In the conversion file I map different nature to one internal nature.
ES: cost1 --> cost
cost2 --> cost
cost3 --> cost
In my desire was that in BPC the nature cost assume the result cost = cost1 + cost2 + cost3.
The result is that only the first record is uploaded and all other recorda are rejected as duplicate.
Any suggestion?

I get the following error. What could it be? It is almost the same error as when I call the trustedFunction.
I have been struggling to solve this issue for weeks. The whole idea is to get the forms dynamically filled with the values from xml file.

Process 0kb empty file and deliver to target directory

Hello Experts,
We had a requirements to process an empty file handling and send it to the receiver/target directory. We had configured to "Process Empty File" Handling and Write Empty File. The 0KB file polling successfully and archived to the directory with empty payload, but the message output was never created/sent to the target directory. In smxi_moni error message displayed:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
- 
- <SAP:Error xmlns:SAP="http://sap.com/xi/XI/Message/30" xmlns:SOAP="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" SOAP:mustUnderstand="">

<SAP:AdditionalText />
<SAP:ApplicationFaultMessage namespace="" />
<SAP:Stack>Unable to read payload from the message object</SAP:Stack>
<SAP:Retry>M</SAP:Retry>
</SAP:Error>
Since this is an empty file, there are no mappings involved. Is there a way to that we could check for 0kb file? If it is empty file, we want to pass/place the empty file to the target directory and if it is not empty, we want the message to process in the standard way.

Hi David,
"Since this is an empty file, there are no mappings involved. "
do you mean you didnt do the mapping at all cos it is empty file ?
though it is empty file still you need to do the mapping as usually,but when you check the option process the empty file both in sender and receiver adapter ,then it will process even an empty file comes.if you dont check these options and you get an empty file during the process then the mapping will fail.
in real time you don't know which one is empty file right,but her you know cos you are placing empty file.
I think you got to do all the steps you do in eneral for a scenario and top on that you have to check process empty file in both sender and receiver adapters,but you may not see the payload in SXMB_MONI.
but search in SDn you get lot stuff.
