File Adapter help required.

Hi All,
My scenario:
I have source txt file that is seperated by semicolon.
I need to do Receiver determination that for some value it shoud go to Receiver A and for other value it
should go to Receiver B.
File that is reaching Receiver A and Receiver B should be again txt in nature.
What can be solution for this?
Regards

Hi Anand
So the approach will be:
1. Sender File Adapter (File content coversion) -- from txt file to xml file
2. Rec Determination --- for different Receivers
3. Receiver File Adapter (File content coversion) -- from xml file to txt file
Am I correct?
Do you have blogs for this

File to File interface - Help Required

Hello All,
We have the below business requirement:
In the source directory, we would receive multiple .dat and one .txt files. Before picking up any of the file, we need to check whether the .txt file exists in the folder or not.
If the .txt file exists, only then pick the .dat files and move them to target directory, else dont do any action until the .txt files comes into the folder.
Also, the dat and txt files have to be moved to the target directory in a sequence(i.e. first the dat files have to be moved and then finally txt file has to be moved).
Please help in providing an approach preferably with the standard sender file channel options.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Subbu

Try this option
Source Directory: /yourSourceDir
FileName : File1.xml
In Additional Files:
File List: File2.xml
File2.xml.namePart - "File1.xml" = "File2.xml"
File2.xml.optional - NO
File2.xml.type - xml
by having this settings, File1 will be picked only when File2 is placed in the folder.

File operation help required

hello gurus,
I want to check whether a perticular file present on the application server or not
if yes
I want to delete it.
if no
i want to create the file in append mode.
I know its a simple issue but still i havnt done file IO in sap yet so please help me in this issue.
Thanks in advence!!!

Hi Nikhil,
It is very simple.
1. open dataset <dset> for input.
    If the file is existing, you will get sy-subrc = 0, else sy-subrc = 8.
2. if sy-subrc = 0   DELETE DATASET <dset>
3. else.
    OPEN DATASET <dset> for APPENDING.

Prepopulate adapter help required

Hello Experts,
I have OIM 11.1.1.5 on win32 platform, and I have connected OIM to a database(target system) through a connector(DBAT connector).
While provisioning a user to that database, it ask for the values which i need to store in database.
What i want is to map those database values to OIM attributes.
For example: my table has first name, last name column and instaed of manually providing those values i want to pre-populate those values from user definition.
As i was doing R&D, I got to know that I have to create an pre-populate adapter(specifically a copy adapter). Kindly suggest me what are all the steps do I need to follow to
do the same.
Thanks in advance.
Warm Regards,
KK

Additional file in File adapter

Hi,
I have two File scenario inbound and outbound.
Outbound:
In this scenario we are sending a File using File Adapter.Our requirement is we have to count number of data records and then write the number of records in other file.We won't be writing number of total records in same data file but other file which will have only value for total number of records and the extension of this file will be different.
Inbound:
In Inbound we have two file one with data and other with total number of records in first file.We need to pick both files and then validate in sap that total number of records from first file is equal to value in the second file.
Can we achieve this without using BPM?If yes please let me know all steps required.
If we have to use BPM then how much file size can BPM handle.Any one has some experience using BPM for large files.
Thanks in advance.
Rekha.

Hi Rekha,
you can realize the outbound scenario without BPM with a message split : <a href="/people/jin.shin/blog/2006/02/07/multi-mapping-without-bpm--yes-it146s-possible without BPM - Yes, its possible!</a>
The inbound scenario can be done with a <a href="/people/alessandro.guarneri/blog/2006/03/27/sap-xi-lookup-api-the-killer.
BPM should be able to handle large files. It is only slow. So if you have to much of large files it can be a problem. The bottle neck for large files is assumedly the mapping. Depending on mapping content, hardware and kind of mapping in this sequence files of 40 - 200 MB should be mappable (appreciated).

Udo

FCC:Receiver File Adapter

Hi
This is regarding a FCC in receiver File Adapter
My requirement is as follows :
I have the following source structure
DT_Source
Structure
Field 1
Field 2
Field 3
The target file to be created will contain all the 3 fields mapped directly from the source.
but in additional to these 3 fields it will also contain 3 constants ..which aren't coming from the source.
Do I need to include that in the Target data type and map them as constant values in the mapping or can the addition of constant values be taken care of in the File Content conversion ?
thanks
Dev

Thanks Shabarish
So you mean once i get a sample file , according to the blank spaces in the resultant i should have a corresponding field in my target Message type and map it toa constant white spaces ??
ok I have one last question
Can the FIle(on the receiver side ) be a mix of values which are fixed as well as variable lenghs ??
i.e
a typical line item in the file will be like this
Field1,Field2,Constant1,       ,Constant2,Field3,      ,Constant3,Field4,Constant4
where Field1 and Field3 are fixed length fields with the constants and field 4 and field5 are of variable lengths ????
thanks
Dev

Two file adapter questions

First, can someone post a URL for detailed file adapter documentation?
Second, I'm a little confused how to use the file adapter in the case where I'm writing out a message whose schema is contained in one of the wsdl files instead of in an xsd file.
The particular case is that I call the Google search service, which returns a message of type doGoogleSearchResponse. The schema for this message is embedded in the google.wsdl file from Google. When I browse in the file adapter wizard to choose a schema for the write operation, I can only see schema from my projectName.xsd file, none from the google.wsdl file (even though it's in the project). How can I use the file adapter to write out the Google search reply?
Thanks,
Bret

Hmmm. Step 4 of the file adapter wizard requires me to specify a "Message Schema". There is no apparant way to get past that step without choosing one. Should I just choose any schema in the project and then go back and fix the code?

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]
regds
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,

My client requirements in File Adapter

Can any one guide me for the following requirements.
Case Studies - 1
Assume that you are in a class room and there are 10 students in it. The instructor then asks each student to prepare his/her the following personal details and save them in an XML file. The details are as follows:
Student ID
Name
Mobile
Email
Gender
There will be 10 files and the files are named as cv_1,2,3….10. The files are saved into the source directory. For test purposes following directories are created:
Source directory: c:\ibm\sap\training\input
Archive directory: c:\ibm\sap\training\archive
Error directory: c:\ibm\sap\training\error
Target directory: c:\ibm\sap\training\target
You are asked to develop scenarios in SAP PI which will read the source files from the source directory and write them to the target directory. Once a file is successfully read from the source directory, it should be moved to the archive directory and if the file cannot be read for some error i.e. xml format not maintained, it should be moved to the error directory. The files moved to archive, error or target directory should have a time-stamp append to the file-name.
i.e. filename+<time-stamp>.
Lesson-1
Prepare a scenario to read one single file i.e. file cv_1.xml from the source directory and write it to the target directory. The target file name should also be cv_1.xml with the time-stamp append to the name.
Lesson-2
Prepare a scenario to read all the files from the source directory and write them to the target directory. Similarly the target files should also be named as cv_1, 2 ..xml with the time-stamp append to each of them.
Lesson-3
The instructor then asks you all to add the following validation to the data.
The mobile-number should have 10 numeric digits – if the mobile number is not of 10 digit then replace it with ‘error’
The email should have one ‘@’ character and one ‘.’ character – if the email is not having the ‘@’ or ‘.’ character, then replace it with ‘error’
Before you run the scenario, in some of the source files, modify the mobile and the email so that they are in error as per the logic given above.
Lesson-4
Prepare a scenario to read all the source files and classify them according to their gender. The files for the men will be written in one directory and for the ladies to another directory. Two directories are created for the above purpose:
Target directory for men: c:\ibm\sap\training\target\men
Target directory for women: c:\ibm\sap\training\target\women
Suppose there are 6 men and 4 women in the class, then if all the source files are read successfully then the target directory for men should have 6 files and the target directory for women should have 4 files.
Case Studies - 2
The instructor then asks you all to prepare one single file with the personal details of each student in separate segments.
Lesson-5
Write a scenario which will read this file and produces 10 target files where each file should correspond to the personal data of each employee. The target files should be named as cv_<emp_ID>_<timestamp>
Lesson-6
Modify the above scenario so that it produces 2 target files instead of 10 where one target file for men and another target file for the ladies. The target file for men should have 6 segments for 6 men and the target file for ladies should have 4 segments for 4 women.
The target files should be named as
For men – men_<time-stamp>
For Ladies – women_<time_stamp>
Case Study -3
Same as case study – 1, the instructor ask each student to prepare his/her the personal details and save them in an XML file. There will be 10 files. The files are saved in the source directory.
Lesson-7
Prepare a scenario to read all the source files from the source directory and to create one single file in the target directory. The name of the target file will be output.xml with the time stamp append to the file-name. The target file will have all the details of each source file as sub-segment.
Lesson-8
Prepare a scenario to read the entire source files from the source directory and create two files in the target directory – one for the men and the other for the ladies. For 6 men, the men file should have six segments having each man’s details and for 4 women, similarly there should be 4 segments with each lady’s details.
Case Study - 4
The instructor now asks each of the students to prepare another set of details which will consist of his/her the following academic details:
Student ID
School Name
College Name
Department Name
Admission Year
There will be 10 files and the files are named as ad_1, 2, 3….10. The files are saved into the source directory. So each student will now have a pair of files – one for the personal details and the other for the academic details. Two files are co-related with the Student ID. The input directory now consists of 10 personal files and 10 academic files.
Lesson - 9
You are asked to develop a scenario which will pick the source files and will process them in pair. The scenario will generate 10 target files. Each target file will consist of the personal and academic details of a student in separate segments. The target files will be named as res_1, 2, 10.
The target files will look like:
Lesson – 10
You are then asked to change the student ID in some of the files so that they do not have a matching academic or personal files and vice-versa. The scenario should run and if it found any files who does not have a matching corresponding file then the process should end after some period of time i.e. 2 min and those files will be moved to the error directory and there will be no corresponding target files for them.

Typical Requirement in File Adapter

Hi All,
My scenario is File to Proxy.
Now scenario to pick up the File (at sender) is like this:
There is a file pick up from FTP Server daily. We will have two files on FTP server.First file is a blank file , which we call a FLAG File. Second file is DATA File containing required data to update in SAP.
Its a conditional File pick up:
1. If FLAG File (Blank) is present on FTP Server then pick up the data file and delete Flag File.
else
2.If FLAG File is not present on FTP server, dont pick up the DATA File and stop Processing.
Please suggest some good solution to achieve the same using File Adapter.
Also suggest, if same can be customised through Run Operating System before\after message processing.
Please help.Its Urgent..
Thanks,
Anurag

Suggestion 1: You need a BPM for this. Poll for the flag file and if present it gets into BPM. Inside the BPM check the content of the file. Remember only with latest SP you get the option to generate a message for an empty file. Use a conditional branch and proceed with the rest of the processing. You can use a dummy correlation.
Suggestion 2: Use scripts and schedule this at OS level (independent of XI). In the script file do the vaildation of checking the flag file and if the validation is ucess move the data file to the foolder FIle adapter keeps polling.

Jaishankar

Need help with reading XML using File Adapter

I have created a simple BPEL process that uses a file adapter to read files containing XML messages of a simple xsd schema. But when reading the xml, I get the following error message:

Thanks for your response.
I am not sure if there is any easier way, but I tried out the following tool available on the net to check an xml against a xsd:
http://tools.decisionsoft.com/schemaValidate/
There were a few issues, that I corrected and finally had a xsd and xml that were matching and valid. I tried this out in my file reading BPEL process, but the error still remained the same!
Here is my updated/simplified xsd and xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<xs:schema targetNamespace="http://xmlns.oracle.com/xmlfile"
xmlns:tns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/xmlfile"

<alternategroup Name="ABC" Desc="ABC-Desc"/>
<alternategroup Name="DEF" Desc="DEF-Desc"/>
<alternategroup Name="GHI" Desc="GHI-Desc"/>
</revision-report>
I even tried the option that is available in JDeveloper to generate a sample xml from a xsd (when in the context of a Transformation activity). The xml generated by this also seems exactly like the one above.
So, I am not able to figure out why my BPEL process errors out with the message Invalid xml document.

File Content Conversion. Help required

Hi All,
My scenario
I have source text file. I need to do Receiver Determination based on some value.
I need to send again text file at target side.
My source txt file is:
Condition:
If :59:/1000001642 comes then send to Receiver A
If :58:/9000001642 comes at that position then send to Receiver B
Can you please tell me how to apply FCC at sender and receiver side as I am not able to
do it.
Regards

Hi Rick,
Can there be any way I can avoid FCC and do Rec Determination because I am required to
do complex FCC at both source and target side.
If you want XI to route a flat file (without FCC in file adapter), then I think you will need to do enhanced
receiver determination.   It will have to be a java map since the input is still a flat file.

Archive file with errors in sender file adapter not working! please help!

Hi Experts,
I have a file to RFC scenario. the input is a XML file. I have setup the flag in sender file adapter channel for archiving the input files with errors. But it is not working.
For testing I have used an invalid xML file for example without the main XML tag. I have also tested with a MSWORD file saved with.xml extension. But in both the cases the files are not getting archived.
My archive location permissions are fine and in fact normal archive operation is happening. That is, if I select the processing mode as "Archive" and gave the Archive directory then files are getting archived. The problem is only with the "Archive faulty source files" option.
What am I missing? DO I need to do some more configurations?
What are the prerequisites if any for this option?
How to test this?
Please help me! I will be greatfull to you all!
Thanks & Regards

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

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:

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,
