Error in sender file adapter: source directory does not exist

Hi,
The PI system is 7.11
I've created sender file adapter with following details:
Transport Protocol : File System
Source directory: /interfaces/In
I checked in AL11 that this path really exists and it does. (I can even see the .txt file that should be processed.)
But still i get in Communication Channel Monitoring the following error:
"Configured Source directory "/interfaces/In" does not exist.
(i also tried to give the source directory as "interfaces/In" and as "//interfaces/In" but still the same error.
Any suggestions as to what is wrong?

Actually, Need to use forward slash (/) to separate directory names in accordance with the Java specification.
But wanted to try if that works..
Also check directory name , path again as this is case sensitive...

  • File Adapter: Target directory does not exist

    Hi All,
    Using RFC to File Scenario.
    While processing in File adapter, i get following error for the target directory.
    Delivering the message to the application using connection File_http://sap.com/xi/XI/System failed, due to: com.sap.engine.interfaces.messaging.api.exception.MessagingException: Target directory '
    *********************\Out' does not exist and cannot be created.
    Although I am able to use the same target directory on my local machine.

    I think FTP user didnt have suffiecinet otherrization to create directory in FTP, check once again Directory format entered is correct.
    if you have phycial access to FTP then create one folder and enter the same in File channel and push one message and let us know the result.

  • ERROR: Cannot start mail services, configuration directory does not exist

    I'm running an Xserve G5 with one internal boot drive and one RAID using the other two internal drives. I used Apple's Disk Utility to set-up the RAID.
    Back in early December, I moved my mail database and mail store to the RAID. Ever since, when I restart the server, the mailaccess.log generates the following error:
    Jan 23 18:51:33 mail master[47]: ERROR: Cannot start mail services, configuration directory does not exist: /Volumes/RAID/mail.data/db
    I'm speculating this is a timing error that gets created when Postfix initially can't find the RAID. Then, it must try again and find it because the error message does not repeat and mail starts running.
    Is this something to worry about?

    Hi Joel,
    You're right, it's a timing issues. The mail system is ready for work before the file system is mounted. It's benign.

  • File Adapter to iSeries IFS "Configured source directory does not exist"

    Good day, All
    We are using PI 7.1
    I need the PI file adapter to pull a file off of an iSeries(AS400) IFS folder directory.
    I'm able to configure the file adapter to pull off files from the PI server C and D drives.
    I'm able to configure the file adapter to pull off files from other network drives.
    But the iSeries IFS folder keeps coming back "does not exist".
    I've configured the Source Directory with / and with \ and it doesn't help.
    I am able to navigate to the folder while logged into the PI server as the server admin.
    I've tried mapping a drive on the server to the IFS folder but that doesn't work either.
    Please help!!!
    I've wasted too much time trying different settings on this already.
    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Chad

    Dear Chad,
    Please go through the following SDN link :
    - Configured source directory .... does not exist was suppressed
    give the write permisson to the directory for everyone group and check if that helps.
    Also, kindly go through the following links :
    1) http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/XI/TroubleshootingtheFile+Adapter (point 2)

  • Sender file adapter - filename containing  *  does not work

    Hi All,
    I am doing simple file-file scenario wherein my filename is something like
    MATMAS05_XI20070911-150159-088.xml 
    there are many files having similar kind of  name which are supposed to be picked
    so simply I can go on writing <b>MATMAS05_XI*.xml</b> in filename
    it is not working.. communication monitoring gives error <i>Error occurred while connecting to the FTP server "10.25.117.237:21": java.lang.NullPointerException</i>
    But  when I use character '?' then it works fine - '?'  placeholder for each extra character
    I am on SP 20.My adapter is configured properly. FTP server working fine with '?' or simple filename. So bit confused why it is not working with *
    Are there some BASIS settings which have to be in place to work it out with * ?
    All your inputs are welcome !!
    Thank You,
    Mugdha kulkarni

    Hi
    this error is not related to multimple files or sending with the * char.. you can use it
    see the below link

    The error related to the server connection.. also check the ip address is correct or not you configured correctly or not..

  • Configured source directory does not exist

    Hi Guys,
    I had configured a sender file adapter and when i check the CC monitoring it gives the message : Configured source directory '/usr/sap/NRD/SYS/global' does not exist. But the directory is in the AL11 of R/3 application server. Iam using the NFS in the File Adapter Communication channel.
    Can anyone throw some light reagrding the error.
    Thanks,
    Kittu.

    Kittu,
    1. With NFS , XI server can acccess only folders available on its OWN local path. It cannot access the Path of your R3 machine. The XI server is looking for the path on its own directories and it is not finding the same.
    One option is to mount your Drive on the XI server to some folder. Not something I
    would recommend thought.
    2. The better thing to do would be,
    a) place the file on the XI 's some folder ( you would need a local directory access to the server) or some program to upload the file to the server.
    b ) Use FTP. Look into this blog by Shabrish for how to set up a FTP ion your Local Desktop and make XI access the same,

  • NFS Sender File Adapter Source Directory

    Hello everybody,
    I have the next problem cause company politics I can't put some files that I need in the XI Server, so I sould take them from another server directory, and cause compañy politics too I can't use FTP so I need to use NFS, but I've been reading some threads about it and some of them says I can't do it and some of them says that I can do it and even give come paths, now the file system is in a Unix Server, how can I do this????? should I put the server an path direclty in de cc or should I map the directory and how do I do this, any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Julio

    Hello Julio,
    If your lacation is as follows:
    server01\path1\path2
    Then put *
    server01\path1\path2* as your source directory.
    Important
    For Linux ensure that the <sid>adm user can access the specific location.
    For Windows ensure that the sapservice<sid> user can access the specific location.  (Will probably have to be on the domain to achieve this).

  • Distribution manager failed to process package - the source directory does not exist

    Hi,
    I have the following behaviour:
    A Software Update Deployment Package is not distributing because of the following error:
    I have found the following query (http://blogs.technet.com/b/ken_brumfield/archive/2013/01/10/troubleshooting-sccm-software-update-deployment-package-distribution-due-to-missing-directories.aspx) to
    determine which update is missing.
    It is about update KB978601. If we search this update in the console, we see this:
    The update is not required, not downloaded, not deployed and superseeded.
    If we look into the members of the Update deployment package, we can't find this update.
    When I was digging into the database, I found this:
    SELECT
    distinct cp.Content_ID,
    cp.ContentSubFolder,cp.PkgID,
    con.ContentProvisioned
    FROM
    [dbo].[vCI_ContentPackages] cp
    INNER
    JOIN [dbo].[CI_ConfigurationItemContents]cic
    ON cp.Content_ID
    = cic.Content_ID
    inner
    join dbo.v_CIContents_All
    con on con.Content_ID
    = cp.Content_ID
    where cp.PkgID
    =
    'XXX002BA'
    and cp.ContentSubFolder
    =
    '39b46f0a-7244-48a6-b795-119ac74009f9'
    which resulted in:
    Content_ID ContentSubFolder PkgID ContentProvisioned
    16828355 39b46f0a-7244-48a6-b795-119ac74009f9 BP1002BA 1
    I found the "ContentProvisioned = 1 " a little bit strange.
    So, my question is:
    Why SCCM is thinking of distributing the content although it is not downloaded or deployed and how can we fix this?
    Has it something todo with the "ContentProvisioned" or is it something else?
    Thanks,
    Sem

    I can tell you why CM wants to distribute it, but the easiest way would be downloading that patch thus adding it to the package (so that it can be distributed) and remove it afterwards.

  • Error in file receiver adapter (Directory does not exist / cannot be create

    I have a NFS reiceiver file NFS adapter with target directory:

    Can somebody help me please??

    Hi Alvaro,
            If your XI server is running on Unix platform then you'll get the access only after mounting 10.128.68.38 this system as a drive. This is equivalent to the windows network mapping.
    Next thing is that once that is done then you can access the path /arbo2000/UploadPinfos/arbodev by mentioning it in your directory path.
    To check whether the above mentioned is the problem then pls do try by doing it with FTP protocol. If it works then for acting as a local directory for NFS you need to mount the drive.
    Cheers

  • File adapter : Do not poll if directory does not exist

    Hi people !
    I have a BPEL process that takes files as Input messages.
    I use a file adapter to do that.
    It works well but I would like to avoid polling the directory if it does not exist, do you know how to control if the directory actually exists ?
    Here is the File Adapter configuration :
    <jca:operation
    PhysicalDirectory="PhysDir"
    ActivationSpec="oracle.tip.adapter.file.inbound.FileActivationSpec"
    PhysicalArchiveDirectory="ArchiveDirl"
    DeleteFile="true"
    IncludeFiles=".*\.xml"
    PollingFrequency="30"
    MinimumAge="0"
    OpaqueSchema="false" >
    </jca:operation>
    Even if the directory does not exist, the process endlessly tries to poll that directory.
    Thanks in advance,
    Romain.

    I do agree with you that the directory should exist because the adapter was configured to poll on that directory !!
    Nevertheless, I would like to know how to control its existence before polling...
    Romain.
