File Adapter: Different lines in one file

Hi,
I receive a flat file where I have to do content conversion.
In this file, I have different structures which could appear unsteady.
Means, every could structure appear in a non continuous way:
File:
struc1
struc2
struc3
struc3
struc3
struc1
struc1
struc2
struc3
How to handle this in file adapter?
Regards
Chris

Hi,
do you mean like this:
/people/jeyakumar.muthu2/blog/2005/11/29/file-content-conversion-for-unequal-number-of-columns
How to identify the different structures? Every structure got different fields and different
amount of fields.
Every struc1 to struc3 should be a single message.
And how to specifiy line break in file adapter?
thanks
chris

As you can see above there is no specific format for the sender file.if you are using wildcard you have lots of ways to make selection for the file

Send multiple files in different directories using Receiver File Adapter

Hi Experts,
I have one File to File without ESR scenario where I have to pick multiple files from different directories and to save them in different directories on receiver side.
Can anyne help me to send multiple files in different directories using receiver file adapter.
Is it possible??
Any help will be appreciated.
Regards,
Danish

hi ,
that is possiable without esr,
we need to create one sender communication channel , in that we nend to use "adavnced selection for source file " for sending multiple files from multiple directories.
we need to create 'n' receiver communication channels and 'n' receiver agreements based on communication channels .
in receiver determination, provide multiple receivers
In interface determination , provide * symbol for receiver communication components
thanks,

Need Help-SOA 11g File Adapter unable to delete input file and its crashing

Hi All
Please find the details below:
1. We have created a simple SOA composite to Read file from an input directory, archive the file in an archive directory using Inbound File Adapter Read
and then use Outbound File Adapter Write to move the file to a output directory.
2. File Adapter needs to delete the file after successful read/retrieval.
3. We are using the "Use Trigger File" for invoking the file adapter. This is a new feature in SOA 11g
4. Also we are using the option of reading the file as an attachment as we are not doing any transformation in the composite
Issue Details_
1. When the trigger file is put in the input directory for the first time, the File Adapter reads the file, archives it and moves it to the output directory
2. However it does not delete the input file from the input directory and raises Fatal Exception mentioned below:
[*2011-01-12T16:55:48.639+05:30] [soa_server1] [WARNING] [] [oracle.soa.adapter] [tid: weblogic.work.j2ee.J2EEWorkManager$WorkWithListener@19c243d]*

Delete the file and restart server. Contact oracle support if error is not fixable.
If any one has faced similar issues, kindly provide pointers on how to resolve it.

Dibya

Hi,
Using the file adapter, you can poll from multilple locations...
Keep the following property in your .jca file
<property name="DirectorySeparator" value="," />
While giving the path in File Adapter configuration, keep comma and give the next location....then the file will be picked up from the locations you gave....
Hope this helps...
Thanks,

File adapter to pick a single file

The scenario is PI File adapter would pick files from a 3rd party FTP location. The 3rd party is placing files with file names using date time stamp.
The requirement is to process one file at a a time - I have mentioned the Processing Sequence as 'By Date' which means the adpater would pick the files sequentially. But I want the adapter to pick only one file at a time rather than picking all the available files in the system.
Is that possible to do?
Thanks.
Anuradha.

Hi Anuradha,
Could you please kindly provide answers to the queries below so that forum members can have a clear picture of your requirement
1. What is the operating system of your PI server?
2. What is the version of PI you are working on?
3. What exactly do you mean by statement " I want the adapter to pick only one file at a time rather than picking all the available files in the system." since adapter will actually pick up files one by one only in each polling interval. This goes in PI pipeline
one after another in quick succession.
4. Do you mean that you want to insert delays between successive file pick up then Baskar has already answered your question.
5. Do you want the channel to pick up only one file in a day out of all possible file?
6. Could you please kindly provide any sample file name you are receiving in PI ?
regards
Anupam

File adapter should pick a single file at a time

Hi,
I have File to RFC scenario.. in my source directory I'm getting bunch of files with the same name. at a time.. but i want to pick the one by one only. that means.. my file adapater poll interval is 30 seconds.. every 30 seconds it will pick the one file.. even though there are multiple files.. but my file adapter should pick a single file ata time..
but at present my file adapater was picking all the files ata time.. but i want to make my file adapter should pick single file ata time..
for this.. any special configuration we need to do.. or any ideas or suggestion .. will be.. appriciated..
regards
Babu

>>any special configuration we need to do..
there is no default configuration to achieve this functionality.
I speculate that any of this should work.
1. Post the files to a intermediate directory and use a SCRIPT/Batch program to move only one file at a time frame to the source directory.
2. Uncheck the option Process Read only files in the sender CC to prevent the file adapter to pick the read only files. Use a script that changes the permission of one file at a time so that the file adapter will pick that file alone.
In both the cases the script needs to be scheduled at the OS level to run every 30 seconds.
Thanks

Sener file adapter has read/pick the files first in first out method.

HI
In my Interface I am Using Sender as File adapter. As per my requirement Sender file adapter has to read the file from file directory. This directory having 1000u2019s of files with some files are same name (time stamp is different) and some files are different name here file adapter has to pick the file with mentioned name in File sender adapter like ZMPSMSGSTATUSMST-.xml .
But source file name is like <TABLENAME>-<TIME_STAMP>.XML (ZMPSWRKFLOWHIST-20090527-150522-628) in file directory.
The file adapter in XI will poll to this directory and picks the file in first- in first-out by sorting according to timestamp.
To do this configuration what I have to do in sender file adapter please give me your valuable inputs.

HI Abhi,
Thank you for your spot replay.

File Adapter and reading all XML files from direcotry

Problem occurs on PI 7.1
I defined sender file adapter. File name mask is: "*.xml" to read all XML messages from directory.
Quality of service is: Exactly One.
Poll Interval: 30
Retry interval: 30
Processing mode: Archive with option "Add Timestamp".
Processing sequence: by name.
I though that with above configuration my File Adapter will be reading folder for all coming XML files. But somehow it is reading XMLs only when I'm activating it in Integration Builder.
Any idea what can cause such strange problem?

Hi Tomasz,
As per my understanding, you need to activate the file adapter for reading the XML files on your directory. Right?
If that is the case, then the issue might be with the Cache.
1. Clear the cache from the Integration Builder.
2. Check in SXI_CACHE whether there are any issues. Click on Delta Cache refresh to find out if there are any cache related issues.
Thanks,

Sender file adapter is not polling the file.

Dear all,
Sender file adapter is not polling the file.(But Receiver file adapter is getting the file)
we have installed SP15.
It was worked fine for previous SP14.
I have cheked in Adapter monioring also.
Can you help me out of this problem
Regards
Dhanabal

Hi Dhanabal,
Is the XI system running on a unix machine ?
If yes, from the OS level for the folder you are using in the file comm. channel, execute the command
<b>chmod 777 <folder_name></b>
The reason for the file to show up in receiver side and not get deleted might be that the xi user mighht be having only read access to the folder...
Thanks,
Renjith.

Can anyone help me write a code about coping data from many files and paste them to one file !?

Hello !
As I said in title , I have alot files (e.g. 60 files) and I want to write a code to copy 5 columns (for examples) of special sheet of files and paste them in one file respectively. For perceive it I explained it more below .
Suppose one of my files is simplified as this : http://s000.tinyupload.com/?file_id=00699705919876414523
The name of this file is 2006Oct and assume my excel files are like "2006Oct, 2006Nov,2006Dec,2007Jan ... 2010Dec". At first I should go to "my files" sheet of 2006Oct file and copy columns " A,B,C,D,E,F " that has "PerturbationNumber=1"
respectively and then paste these to a file that is output file and repeat this process for the other files ( 2006Nov and etc ) and paste data in output file sequentially.
I appreciate and look foreward for any help in this issue.

How to read multiple files of different name using single file adapter

There are two inbound locations inbound1 and inbound2 , and the files structure present in these two inbound locations are same but the files start with different names example
(1)files in inbound1 starts with file1,file2...
(2)files in inbound2 starts with abc1,abc2...
by using same file adapter with read option how can i read both files....

Hi K.A.N.N.,
You can define multiple directories using the above link in 11g and poll for the file as \*.*.
Alternatively you can use the Synchronous Read and specify the file name at runtime.
You can also use Pick activity to define multiple branches each with a File Adapter to read from a specified location with specified file name. Although it would contain multiple Adapter Definitions at Development-time, only one of the Adapters will execute at Run-Time.

File adapter and line feeds

Hi,
we need to produce a flat file using the content conversion of the file adapter without any line feed (the target structure is a complex one with several record types).
Example
What we get now:
*AAheaderA
*ABheaderB
*BAItem1
*CAsubitem1
*BAItem2
What we need:
AAheaderAABheaderBBAItem1CAsubitem1*BAItem2
It seems that with NameA.endSeparator parameter you can only add a new character, but I need to delete the line feed.
Is it possible with standard file adapter or do we need do create our own module with java?
Thank you.

Hi Stefano,
So you Basically want to do content conversion at the receiver end and that is basically to get the entire data in one line.For that please go through these links below.It clearly explains your requirement.

Archiving file in different folder in sender file adapter

Hi,
I have a requirement in witch i have to pick 7 different file from seven different folder.
for this I am using advance selection tab and defining all the other folder path.
but my problem is I have to archive the different file in different folder .
For exm..
/folder1/file1.txt need to be archive in /archive_filder1/file1.txt
/folder2/file2.txt need to be archive in /archive_filder2/file2.txt
/folder3/file3.txt need to be archive in /archive_filder3/file3.txt
can any one tell me that how to define the dynamic archive folder path??.
regards,
Navneet

Hi Navneet
In File Access parameters --> Target Directory
Use this type of Directory name
\XIDEV_STORES\%store%\sapoutbound
here %store% will be changed accordingly
e.g. if file will come for store 001 then this %Store% will be replaced by 001 and file will be placed in this 001 folder and if file will come for store 002 then this %Store% will be replaced by 002 and file will be placed in this 002 folder over FTP.
For to achieve this Go to Advanced tab
For Variable Substitution check mark Enable
Now speciofy the parameter values for Variable Name and Reference
Under Vriable name specify = store
Under Reference specify = payload:WP_PLU02,1,IDOC,1,EDI_DC40,1,RCVPRN,1 -
You have to give full path name here that where this store variable is located into IDOC.
Hope this example will help you

Save different Objects in one file by two different streams

Hi all,
I have a issue to read two Objects from one file if I write those in two different streams.
I open the ObjectOutputStream and save an Object to the file. Then I close this stream and file. Then I open the new ObjectOutputStream and save the second Object in the same file. It works Ok. Then I open the ObjectInputStream and try to read those two objects and get java.io.StreamCorruptedException.
This exception happes only when app tryes to read the second Object.
this is the code example:
//Write part
for (int i=0;i<2;i++)
File file = new File("test.swp");
FileOutputStream fileOut = new FileOutputStream(file,true);
ObjectOutputStream objOut = new ObjectOutputStream(fileOut);
JobObject jobObj = new JobObject();
jobObj.setID(i);
objOut.writeObject(jobObj);
objOut.flush();
objOut.close();
fileOut.close();
//Read part
FileInputStream fileOut = new FileInputStream("test.swp");
ObjectInputStream objOut = new ObjectInputStream(fileOut);
for (int i=0;i<2;i++)
JobObject jobObj = (JobObject)objOut.readObject();
objOut.close();
fileOut.close();
Thank for any help.

Maybe try closing the ObjectInputStream (and re-creating it as needed) within your for loop?
