File adapter - Archive issue with adapter module

Hi All,
I have 2 issues here. We are currently using PI 7.11 EHp1 SP02.
1. Arhival with "add time stamp" wont work. It just gives us an error message saying simpledate format exception.
I have gone through the OSS note 1265534 and thought this will resolve the issue. But our BASIS team believes this note is only applicable for PI 7.1 SP01. Can you one using PI 7.11 SP02 comment on this?
Note: Archive option with out add time stamp works fine.
2. When I use adapter module in my sender file configuration, the archive option itself does not work. Read the official SAP help which says "To archive source files where a permanent error occurred during processing, set the indicator.
A permanent error occurs either during the conversion of the file content, or in a module in the module processor."
So the question here is, how do we make the error permanent? The only way to throw error from adapter module is using the ModuleException. It has 4 different constructors. I have used both
ModuleException me = new ModuleException ("My error Msg"); and
Module Exception me1 = new ModuleException ("Error String", new Throwable("My error Msg");
In both the cases, the archival wont happen.
Any ideas welcome.
Thanks
Jai

Hi,
I am using NFS protocol here not FTP. Sorry I dint mention that earlier.
Thanks

Selected state issue with Menu Module V2

OK so I am getting an issue with Menu Module V2. I have used this before with success but this time I have hit a wall. I possed this question to BC live chat and they bugged out real quick.
The site in construction is http://www.urbanista.com.au
What is happening is that in the top right tools nav with the headings Home, Services, People, Contact Us using Menu Module V2. The Heading Services has a drop down and this is where the issue resides. Roll over any of these nav devices and you will see they will highlight orange. Home is already auto activating its Selcted state. Click on Contact Us and it will do the same. Roll over and click on Services and it appears to have worked. While in Services roll over the drop down again and you will see all links have activated the Selected state. This is the issue. If you view the code of the Services UL you will see only the Services state has been alocated the Slected state. See below:
<li id="Services" class="selected">
<a href="/services.htm">Services</a>
<ul>
<li id="tools-panningdev">
<li id="tools-housing">
<li id="tools-urban-renewal">
<li id="tools-project-management">
<li id="tools-feasibility-tools">
<li id="tools-governance-systems">
<li id="tools-communications">
<li id="tools-projects">
</ul>
</li>
The CSS that runs the nav is as follows:
ul.dropdown {
    font-weight: normal;
    font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
    font-style: normal;
    text-decoration: none;
    ul.dropdown li {
    background-color: transparent;
    color: #999;
    padding-top: 5px;
    padding-right: 10px;
    padding-bottom: 5px;
    padding-left: 10px;
    font-size: 12px;
    ul.dropdown li.hover,
    ul.dropdown li:hover {
    background-color: transparent;
    color: #FFF;
    ul.dropdown a:link,
    ul.dropdown a:visited    {
    color: #FFF;
    text-decoration: none;
    ul.dropdown a:hover        { color: #ff871f; }
    ul.dropdown a:active    {
    color: #b33b00;
    /* -- level mark -- */
    ul.dropdown ul {
    width: 150px;
    margin-top: 1px;
    background-image: url(/images/nav-transparency.png);
    background-repeat: repeat;
    color: #FFF;
    ul.dropdown ul li {
    font-weight: normal;
ul.dropdown li.selected a {
    color: #ff871f;
The last entry 'ul.dropdown li.selected a {color: #ff871f;}' is required in order to allocate a Slected State. Without it not Selected state is active and the links al remian white.
I have tried all manner of combinations and additonal tags with no success. Any suggestions greatly appreciated. I have not modified the default Javascript provided by BC in the system apart from allocating the required ulTagClass as specified. The Javascript in the supplied 'container.html' is as follows:
<script type="text/javascript" >
    // ids need to be unique per page, use different ones if you are including multiple menus in the same page
    // id of the nav tag, used above
    var divTagId = "myMenu1";
    // desired id for 1st <ul> tag
    var ulTagId = "myMenu1List";
    // desired class for 1st <ul> tag
    var ulTagClass = "dropdown dropdown-vertical";
    if ((null !== ulTagId) && ("" !== ulTagId)) {
        document.getElementById(divTagId).getElementsByTagName("ul")[0].setAttribute("id",ulTagId );
    if ((null !== ulTagClass) && ("" !== ulTagClass)) {
        document.getElementById(divTagId).getElementsByTagName("ul")[0].className = ulTagClass;
    // this will set the selected state
    if ((null !== ulTagId) && ("" !== ulTagId)) {
        catSetSelectedCSSItem(ulTagId);
</script>
Lastly this is one of the recomended navs by BC at the following address: http://lwis.net/free-css-drop-down-menu/
I have used these before with success but for the life of me this has stumped me big time.

Hi Matthew,
Having a super quick look at the code I'd say it's because of:
ul.dropdown li.selected a {
    color: #ff871f;
This affects all the child elements.
To override this down the line you could do something like:
ul.dropdown li.selected ul li a {
    color: #fff;
This would override the parent link color when selected.
You could probably then also add:
ul.dropdown li.selected ul li.selected a {
    color: #ff871f;
For the dropdown selected states.
That's a quick look though so don't quote me too much

Captivate 8 - How to change to producing "project.json" file instead of a "project.txt" file? Having issues with viewing published projects due to this. Would be thankful fo rany/all advice.

I'm having the same issue. I've been able to work around it by opening the txt file and copying the contents. Then I open a new file in Sublime Text 2, paste the contents and save the new file as "project.json". It seems to work, but it'd been nice if I didn't have to do this everytime I publish a new project.

Receiver File Adapter Module processor issue

Hello all,
I have deployed (using SDM) a specific module for one of my file communication channel.
In MDT, I have the following error :
Exceptions survenues pour Adapter Framework : Object not found in lookup of Module0001
La diffusion du message vers l'application via File_http://sap.com/xi/XI/System a échoué en raison de : com.sap.aii.af.ra.ms.api.RecoverableException: Object not found in lookup of Module0001.: com.sap.engine.services.jndi.persistent.exceptions.NameNotFoundException: Object not found in lookup of Module0001.
Where can be the source of this problem ?
Thanks a lot

Jean
Also check if the "JNDI" name that you have specified in the Receiver Adapter module
excluding localejbs matches the deployed name in the "J2ee Aministartor Deploy service.
for example if you have
localejbs/sap.com/BeanName
you should have
the service deployed under
/sap.com/BeanName

Help required in File Adapter Module Development

Hi All,
I am working out a File to File scenario where my source file is in some different format. Please find the below sample:
<Root>
<ID>100</ID>
<NAME>SAP</NAME>
<END-Root>
Before taking this into IS, I need to change the file to a proper XML format. I need to replace "END-" with "/".
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" >
<Root>
<ID>100</ID>
<NAME>SAP</NAME>
</Root>
I think I can achive this by developing Adapter Modules. I am new to Adapter Module development.
Can you please tell me if there are any inbuilt Adapter Modules for this. If not please suggest me some relevant blogs to solve this issue. Thanks in Advance.

Hi Phani Kumar
There are more than one ways to do this. As per your timelines and skill set you can decide
1. You can use the XMLAnonymizerBean this is an inbuilt module
Check Stefen's blog
Remove namespace prefix or change XML encoding with the XMLAnonymizerBean
2. You can read this complete file in a single field and then you can create XSLT or Java mapping to parse it in a target XML you desire.
Check these
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/3823 [original link is broken] [original link is broken] [original link is broken](XSLT mapping)
Java Mapping (Part I) (Java Mapping)
The specified item was not found. (Java Mapping helper DOM)
The specified item was not found. (XML Node into string)
3. You can develop Adapter modules for this

File Adapter Module - Help

Hi
For a file adapter I had enabled the option <b>Archieve File</b> in my communication channel. So the system will put the file in the archieve folder after it is read. My requirement is to check if the file already exits in the archieve folder or not. Any means of checking it? or shud i make use of adapter modules? If yes kindly point some helpful tips on the same.
Kindly fwd any useful doc to [email protected]

prabhu

Prabhu,
The os command in the file adapter should exists in the XI server only.
Whatever command you provide in the Adapter will result in the SID+"ADM" user id exectuing this command at the oS level of your XI server.
So this script should exist on the XI server.
Now, if the archive directory is on the FTP server you will have to connect to the FTP server from the script and check if the file exists and then do the needful.
Check this blog out for executing Scripts on file adapters,

File Adapter Module - Change name of Generated File

Hello all,
My customer has XI v3.0 SP9. For the moment an upgrade is not envisaged.
Since SP14 it is possible to dynamically change filename generated with receiver File adapter. This is done with a manipulation during mapping and a configuration in adapter.
As I am in SP9, is there another solution, by example using a module processor ?
My XML :
<root>
    <lineFile>....</lineFile>
    <lineFile>....</lineFile>
    <lineFile>....</lineFile>
    <filename>
</root>
Thanks a lot,
J.C.

Hi,
AFAIK - as far as I know
>>>>(Too much tests to do on other processes)
it's good this way the customer will learn the need for test tools
like mercury loadrunner - you can store all the tests inside
and when an upgreade comes just execute them...
customers always learn the hard way

File Adapter-Module configuration

Hi All,
I have the following requiremnt.
"Duplicate files should not process"
Following are the File Access Parameters.
Source Directory: ABC (ex: contains aa1,aa2,aa3,aa4 files)
Filename: *
File name mask: aa*
My doubt is if they place aa1 file again in ftp , i should not process.
For this I'm thinking to write module configuration.
Can any one suggests , whether this is the correct approach? If it is could u explain how to write this module and where to write this module and how to import in xI, do i need to pass any parameter name in module configuration.
Regards,
venu.

Hi Venu,
You can go with Module in the Sender File Adapter.
First you need to check the file name and you need to store this file name in the Database.( you can use Java Database).
If there is an entry in the database for that file, then reject the whole file as per the business requirement. So that you can avoid , overhead of Mapping. Because if there is an error set the flag in the message and check this flag in your Receiver Determination, if it is an error send into error directory.
Another way is outside the XI, i.e using shell scripts.

Moorthy

File adapter module enhancement error

Hello All,
We have a EDI scenario where data for 110 is to be transfered to SAP. Here customer is not able to ahead with seeburger hence decided to develope a adapter module. We have done that and started testing . While testing we are getting a error, in which ":" is field separator which is getting converted to "[]" . This we found when we debugged module process method. Pl can you suggest why this conversion is happening and how to resolve.
If you see , When I use only standared sap module file is getting read as it is. There is no such conversion happening.
Pl can you suggest at the earliest possible.
thanks,

File adapter modules : Access to file data before content conversion

I have a file sender channel for which content conversion in applied. The incoming file has data in comma separated values format.
e.g.
102366,Amol Joshi,DEPT1
107752,XYZ PQR,DEPT2
I want to access the the actual data in the file before content conversion takes place. Is it possible to access this data inside the adaper module? I tried creating an adapter module and put it before CallSAPAdapter,it still gets the XML after content conversion as the input data to the module.
Any pointers?

Hi Amol,
I dont know if it is the right approach.
But if u r not able to meet ur requirement u can do one work around.
Use Message Transformation Bean to convert it once again in to CSV (flat file structure) and then proceed with ur module.
There should be a better way than this.
Hope we could find a better solution in the forum.

FileName in Sender File Adapter Module

Hi Folks,
In my sender file adapter have written a module to read the picked file name. The protocol used is NFS.
Notice that the file name read in the module has the absolute path, including the directory path. E.g The file name xyz has to be picked from source directory
XIServer\Outbound. In the module when I retrieve the file name, it comes up as
XIServer\Outbound\xyz. Is this expected behaviour?
I was expecting just the file name<xyz> to be retrieved.
Thanks,
Anand

HI,
Create an UDF and write this code.
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container.getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key =
DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File","FileName");
String ourSourceFileName = conf.get(key);
return ourSourceFileName;
in Adapter u will have Adapter specific parameters check the file name check box.
Using this UDF u will get the file name at target side.

Phani.

Dynamic configuration required in sender file - Adapter Module

Hi Everybody,
I am developing an Adapter Module in the file adapter (sender) using Adapter Specific Message Attributes.
I am using Dynamic configuration inside the Module Process method in the adapter module.
We are getting an error saying Dynamic Configuration cannot be resolved.
Can anybody tell me the package to be used.
Thanks,
Zabiulla

You can access the dynamic configuration in adapter module like this:
Message msg = (Message) inputModuleData.getPrincipalData();
String fileName = msg.getMessageProperty("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File", "FileName");
You do not need any addition library besides the adapter module API.
Hope that helps

File adapter module

Hello experts,
1.
I want to retrieve the value of <b>Target directory</b> for a file <b>reciever</b> communication channel inside module. Is it possible? Any code samples?
2. My audit logs are not getting printed inspite of having a log-configuration.xml in place and proper audit log statements in the code? anybody face similar situations before? These statements are inside a <b>reciever file</b> adapter module.
Amol

Hi Kapil,
file.targetFileName
In General put the following piece of code in sender or receiver adapter and u can get all the parameters specific to that Adapter Type in channel(Configuration) for outbound and inbound channel depending on direction of channel in which module is configured.
String[] chattr=ch.getAttributeNames();// ch is channel object
If u put this in receiver module of file adapter, the string array will hold the names of all the parameters pertaining to Receiver File Adapter(file.targetFileName,file.targetDir,etc). Same procedure holds good for sender channel.
Once u get the parameter name, u can get the value as given by my earlier post in this thread.
Hope this helps.

Sudharshan

How to send input parameters to a file adapter module

i have a requirement like , i need to pick a file from a file server based on a condition. that condition we write in adapter module (in file sender channel).
the condition needs some input , so how can we send input parameters to adapter module.
please suggest me some way,
thanks in advance

hi jhansi,
u define the parameters to send to a module in 'module configuration' (in module tab) by giving the key to identify the module for which u r giving giving the parameters.
