File Adapter - Cancel "Retry" mode

Hi,
I have a Proxy to File scenario and want to cancel "Retry" mode. Which means when the adapter gets an error while writing the file to a FTP it won't try again.
At the moment it tries every 5 minutes, and after it tried 4 times it stops. I don't want that the adapter tries it again. But it is important for me that the solution is only for this scenario. So it won't affect an other scenario. For example when I change a Retry parameter this will also affect other File scenarios.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

In the RWB -> Communication Channel Monitoring.. Open the FTP File Channel and go to Administration Tab and change the Retries Option to 0.
>>For example when I change a Retry parameter this will also affect other File scenarios.
Yes if the same file adapter is shared with multiple scenario...

Changing of the timestamp in sender file adapter in archive mode

Hi,
I have a requirement where in I have to archive a file with timestamp different from that generated by XI.
Please let me know if this can be done and if so how can we handle the changes to be made to the timestamp in the sender adapter in archive mode.
regards,
Srinivas.

Srinivas,
Option 1) Create a bat file..to run the perl script you call..
Perl script..
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
print("Starter that you want to change: ");
chomp($badex = <STDIN>);
print("Starter that you want added: ");
chomp($goodex = <STDIN>);
foreach $file (<$badex*>){
 @fields = split(/$badex/,$file);
 $goodfile = ("$goodex" . "$fields[1]");
 rename("$file","$goodfile");
Run that on the os
That should fix it.........
Option 2) On your local Machine create a java file..add this code to it
public class Utils
 public static int Randomizer(){
 int randomInt = 0;
 randomInt = (int) (Math.random()*1000);
 return randomInt;
public static void main(String[] args)
 Randomizer();
save and compile..
Create a bat file to add the number returned from the random to your targetFilename
so it would be something like..
mv oldFileName Newfilename+randomizer... and also get this command written to a file..helpful later on.........
Hope that helps

Problem in Receiver side File Adapter using FTPS mode

Hello,
Here I am facing some problem in receiver side while using FTPS mode in the channel configuration.
The error message which i could see in the audit log is,

HI Surya,
First check wether server started or not and then check you are connecting to FTP server by
go to run -> cmd and write ping and ipaddress which is used and see whether u r getting reponse from teh FTP server.
Try to login to the ftp server which you have mentioned in CC using the user name and pwd, to chk whether you have the permissions to login to the server.
Also the check whether the folder you are trying to access is having permission for delete/read/write.
Restart the FTP server and try it again.

Prevent Sender File Adapter from retrying an error file

Hi,
I have a situation where there a number of source files[100+] to be picked from a source directory. The files are then processed by an adapter module before they are sent to the IE. Now, in the lot to be picked up there are files which do not conform to the input file structure validations in the module and consequently these would not[and should not] be picked. These files could occur anywhere in the input set and presently the adapter is re-trying the processing of these error files, with the result that the subsequent files are not processed.
Is there a method to ensure that the entire input file set is processed regardless of the adapter encountering error files in between?
Thanks,
Anand

Yes,
In your sender communcation channel, you must activate "Archive faulty source files" flag and indicate a directory for archiving files with errors.

Mainframe Integration using File Adapter (FTP Mode):: ftp commands

Hi,
We are trying to integrate with Mainframe system using File Adapter. (FTP mode). We are able to write the file to Mainframe system but not able to format it properly. We had to provide FTP parameter, ftp.quote site recfm=fb lrecl=150
As per SAP Note 801926 :: XI 3.0 File Adapter: Additional Parameters, the only parameter that can be used is ftp.timeout. Has anyone tried out using other FTP parameters? (like ftp.quote)
Any help is grealy appreciated.

Siva Maranani

I am looking at running some OS commands especially the QUOTE SITE FILENAME, and found this OSS note:
https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/841704
In this note it says...
"Note that for the File Adapter transport protocol "FTP", the operating system command is NOT executed on the FTP server, but on the server hosting the Adapter Engine."

Problem With Receiver Communication (File Adapter)

Hi,
My SAP XI Version is 3.0 with Service Pack 7,I have a strange problem,
I have a flat file coming from Unix system,I need to convert this into XML and put a copy in the Archive mode and send the XML file,getting it converted into flat file format send it to the receiver.Here I have to do the content Conversion,So,I have done content conversion while configuring Sender and Receiver Communication Channel.
I am using NFS as Transport Proctocol.So, everthing was fine when i run the scenario,after activating.The Sender communication Channel is Archiving the files.But I am unable to see any file with receiver communication channel.
So,for this I have checked up with Adapter monitoring in Runtime Workbench. In my File Adapter My Sender as well as Receiver Communication Channels are in Green.They are mentioning that Sender Communction is sucessful and
RECEIVER COMMUNICATION IS Sucessful but no messages processed.
Can any one suggest what to do now.Everything is fine with Content conversion and Unix System.But my receiver is not receiving any messages.
Should any OSS notice or patch work needs to be applied.
Thank You,
KishoreJ.

Hi Kishore,
I Guess you should first see if the file is being picked......for that do the following.
While configuring your Sender File Adapter, let the mode be DELETE. This way, we will know if the file is being picked by the File adapter. The file will be deleted and you can be sure that it has been picked up.
Next, look into the RWB--> FILE ADAPTER and see the log of the file adapter
and also, you can see the flow of your message in the integration engine in SXMB_MONI.
Ans still if your message is not showing up in SXMB_MONI, please do as explained below.
Increase logging and trace level in:
SXMB_ADM -> Integration Engine Configuration -> Specific Configuration
Also create entries as follows in it:
LOGGING = 1
LOGGING_SYNC = 1
TRACE_LEVEL = 3
TRACE_LEVEL_PROPAGATION = 1
Also refer XI: I cannot see some of my messages in the SXMB_MONI

Cannot send file to XI ,and File Adapter Error in RWB- Adapter Monitor

i develop the file to file scenario, and everything in Integration Builder is right, and the configuration is no problem
but it cannot send file to XI, so the whole process
cannot start. The file adapter seems not work
how can i solve the problem?
Thank you for your reply

Hi Leo,

While configuring your Sender File Adapter, let the mode be DELETE. This way, we will know if the file is being picked by the File adapter. The file will be deleted and you can be sure that it has been picked up.
In your runtime workbench home, there will be a tab, Component Monitoring, click on it. Select status as all, and click on display. The components will be displayed on ur screen. In that, under Integration Server, there will be a link for Adapter Engine. Click on it. Now, scroll down, and u will see a link to adapter monitoring, there under FILE ADAPTER see the log of the file adapter
and also, you can see the flow of your message in the integration engine in SXMB_MONI.
Do this and let us know what is happening...

File Adapter with Debatching

Hi All
We are using File Adapter in debatching mode for processing of large files.
Once all records are processed we need to move the processed file from one location to another on same machine.
But in case of debatching multiple BPEL theads are processing same file. so how do we know we have reached the end of the file and all processing is done so that we can move that file.
Thanks

FTP command using File adapter

Hi,
When i use the file adapter in FTP mode i need to add an xtra command before sending the file.
I.ex: SITE LRECL=84 RECFM=VB WRAPRECORD
Using manual connect i do this
ftp 111.111.111.111.
User/pass
SITE LRECL=84 RECFM=VB WRAPRECORD
put c: est.txt test.txt
quit
But how do i add the xtra command? The Run OS command thing - thats before FTP is connected isn´t it?
/Jakob

If possibe, you could write the file on a file server using the NFS option of hte file adapter, and then use a simple shell script (if on UNIX) which contains your FTP commands to do the FTP part. You will specify the script name in the the 'Run OS Command After Message Processing' parameters.
I have used something very similar in the past...

File Adatper in Sychronous Mode

Hi,
I want to use file adapter in synchronous mode without using BPM.
Can anyone tell me please which method should be used in Advance Mode.
Thanks and Regards,
Sandeep

chk this extract that was posted by Bhavesh some time back -
From SP 19 on XI 3.0 and SP 10 on PI 7.0, a File - RFC - File ( Asynch - Synch ) scenario can be done without a BPM.
Steps:
Integration Repository
The Integration Repository will be similar to any Synchronous Scenario ( say HTTP - RFC ) . 1 Outbound Synch message Interface and 1 Inbound Synch Message Interface.
Integration Directory
This is where a few differences lie, so let me take some time.
1. The Receiver Determination , Interface Determination will be the same as in HTTP - RFC synch scenario. Create the Sender File Adapter, Receiver RFC Adapter and Receiver File Adapter.
2. Sender Agreement will be for the Sender File Adapter. Sender Agreement uses the Synch Outbound Message Interface.
3. Receiver Agreement will be for the Receiver RFC adapter. Receievr Agreement will use the RFC as thge Inbound Message Interface.
4. We need to add a few modules in the Sender File Adapter.
Go to the Modules Tab of the Sender File Adater, and add the following modules in the same sequence,
Number - ModuleName - Type - ModuleKey
1- AF_Modules/RequestResponseBean - Local Enterprise Bean - 1
2- CallSapAdapter-Local Enterprise Bean - 2
3-AF_Modules/ResponseOnewayBean-3
Parameters
ModuleKey - ParameterName - ParameterValue
1 - passThrough - true
3-receiverChannel - Receiver File Adapter Name
3-receiverService - Receiver Business Service/ System
With this configuration, you can now handle the requirement without a BPM
This feature been already blogged for JMS Adapters in these blogs ,
Sync/Async communication in JMS adapter without BPM (SP19)
Async/Sync Communication using JMS adapter without BPM (SP 19)
Dynamic Configuration is also possible,and this as well as many other options are discussed in the How To guide - "How To Realize a sync-async and async-sync
bridge within the Adapter Framework" available on the Service Market Place.
For info on the Modules used here, look into these links,

File adapter - connection mode

Hi,
RE: File adapter
Can someone please supply me with some information:
What is the difference between connect mode - permanently/file per transfer?
When does the connection get closed?
Thanks,
Leanne

Hi,
Permanently:
An existing connection to the FTP server is used permanently.
The connection is reestablished automatically if it is closed by the server.
==>> It will not get closed if the data flows continuesly.it will get closed if it is not in use. then when ever the use comes into picture means the connection will be Established automatically.
Per File Transfer:
A new connection to the FTP server is established for each file transfer.
==>>It will be closed for each and every file Transfer and will be opened every time.
Connection mode Permanantly will be better, each and every time closing and opening is not recomended

File sender adapter (FTP) - processing mode "Archive"

Hello all
We're polling files from an external FTP server. For this I created a scenario on XI according to this thread:
When setting processing mode to "Archive" in the file sender adapter (ftp) it polls the file, stores it to the archive directory I specified and then tries to delete the file on the FTP server side. This returns me an error because we're not allowed to delete the retrieved files on the FTP server!
Because of this error the file adapter stops further processing and does not poll all the other files.
How can I disable this deletion mechanism while keeping processing mode to "Archive"?!?!?
We do not want to use processing mode "Delete" or "Test" and we don't see other options to influence this behaviour.
Thanks for any guideance on this one in advance!
Kind regards,
Renaud

Hi Bhavesh
Sorry for the late answer. Unfortunately I can't ask the application system to provide file names containing a timestamp within. The files are provided by an external partner and are retrieved by several others as well.
In the meantime I managed to achieve this:
In repository I created dummy data types, message types and message interfaces. No mapping programs and interface mappings!
In configuration I created the necessary communication channels (1 ftp sender, 1 file receiver) and the required receiver and interface determinations as well as the sender and receiver agreements.
The result of this is:
I'm able to poll some specific files via ftp from remote host. The file names are file1.arj, file2.arj, file3.arj and file4.arj. All 4 files have the same SourceFileTimestamp (e.g. "20060727T053900Z").
I'm able to store those 4 files 1:1 in a target directory with the same file names. Until here I did NOT need to follow this blog: <a href="/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/11/10/xi-the-same-filename-from-a-sender-to-a-receiver-file-adapter--sp14: The same filename from a sender to a receiver file adapter - SP14</a>.
As of this blog it is possible to access adapter specific attributes and make them available in message mapping using user defined functions. This way I'm able to get the SourceFileTimestamp from the polled files and use it in a message mapping. This way I'm also able to use it in variable substitution on file receiver adapter (syntax = "payload:root,1,fileTS,1") in order to dynamically create a directory with this syntax: YYYYMMDD.
So far so good... but the only remaining BIG problem now is, that as soon as the mapping is activated and assigned in the interface determination, the created files contain the XML payload instead of the original binary content. Where has it gone? How should the target message type look like so that it can carry over the original binary file content?
BTW: isn't it possible to post screenshots? Would be much more easier to explain things... so sorry to anyone if I wasn't clear enough!
TIA and best regards,
Renaud

File adapter processing in FTP mode

Hello SDN,
I need some info on File adapter working in FTP mode.
What happens when we point to a remote file location that runs on FTP server?
FTP in standard does not support a remote read operation at all. So the only possible logic that strikes me is issue a FTP get command over the file and get the file locally, read it. Does it happen this way? Or SAP has customised FTP to enable the read operation from a remote location directly?
Regards,
Jai Shankar

Hi Jai,
I am sure you must have gone through this File/FTP help file earlier also. If you read the Procedure section of it, I think it will give you a clear idea what exactly happening there:
