File adapter in comm.channel green, but no message collecting

Hello,
looks like this is something really at the roots.
Ok, we are in NW2004s PI 7.0.
One IDOC process is successfully implemented.
Now we started with a file to file communication!
File sender adapter is configured and shown in status green in comm.channel monitoring which would bring me to the idea that the comm.channel is configured well  (To be sure we changed the directory path in the comm.channel to a wrong one which results in an error. Ok, corrected. Now all lamps are green). Comm channel is activated and polling.
But... nothing happens. The Adapter is not collecting the file in the source directory (existing) and there is no entry in monitoring on RWB or SXMB_MONI.
In Adapter monitoring all adapters except the JPR (red) are with a GREY lamp!
As we had an issue with activating the adapters (adapter monitoring before did not show any adapter (except JPR) ) two days ago we are not sure if the current issue belongs to a mistake in the configuration or in basis environment.
From XI 3.0 side we would expect that the adapter monitoring should show adapters used in green.
Do you have experience with such a behaviour?
Any help is welcome!
regards
Dirk

Hi Bhavesh,
we are near to bumping our heads against the server.
In comm.channel:
directory is :      /      (as simple as possible)
file name is : *.001
The file in the directory is named it_test.001 so it should be catched.
What can we do wrong?
By the way: If we change the directory to  /out   which is existing we have an (file is in this directory too) error message:  'com.sap.aii.adapter.file.ftp.FTPEx: 550 /out: The system cannot find the file specified. '.
Cache is fine!
regards
Dirk

  • Hello, My white McBook (2008 or 2009) recently stopped turning on.  When I hook up the Magsafe power adapter, the light shows green, but the computer will not turn on, or make a sound.  I've tried the re-boot option, but nothing works.  Please advise!

    Hello,
    My white McBook (2008 or 2009) recently stopped turning on.  When I hook up the Magsafe power adapter, the light shows green, but the computer will not turn on, or make a sound.  I've tried the re-boot option, but nothing works.  I first thought I needed a new battery because the lights at the back are all off, but shouldn't the computer turn on once the power adapter is hooked up and the light on the Magsafe adapter shows green?  I'm a computer doofus, so please be kind.  Please advise!  Thanks in advance.

  • Empty file in sender comm channel

    i have issue with the empty files coming from the sender which are getting processed and getting saved in given file location.
    Now the problem is,these files donot contain data and rather just gets outputted with header and trailer with some dummy data usually spaces,some zeros,-- like this...,this makes the file size of some 444 bytes or 834 bytes but as it is not having any data,we need to goto SXMB_MONI everyday,check for files,if its empty,needs to  cancel them manually because it appears in red flag.
    To avoid this,i was thinking of setting the empty file option in processing of communication channel to SKIp messages or delete messages.
    Am i right in this approach?
    From other thread:
    "Currently when a process fails in PI due to an empty file the process needs to be manually set to u201Ccancelledu201D,where to locate in PI,what could be the problem and how it is to be solved.i have asked a similar question and hope that this error will help."
    please reply and show me right way of resolving this.
    thanks!
    cheers!

    Hi,
    As per ur req, its nt possible in this way.
    The empty file handling means the whole file is empty, the size is 0k.
    So in ur req, empty file means Header and Trailer present, but no data Records.
    we can achive this in following ways also,
    1.write an adapter module, to check if at all there is atleast there is 1 Data record, if not throw exception there itself.
    2.In the mapping check if at all there is any Data Record. If no Data Records raise exception and also the Alerts.

  • File adapter (sender) module throws exception, but adapter proceeds again

    Hello dear reader,
    I wrote a module that converts a flat file into XI-XML and tested it within the file adapter. It works fine so far. But if I force the module to throw an exception to handle an erroneous flat file, the file adapter tries to proceed the erroneous file again and again. Not very nice, isn´t it?
    Has anybody an idea, how to configure the file adapter to stop the processing of an erroneous file?
    Thank you in advance
    Yours

    It seems to me that the Adapter gets the error of the module, but it is not handled as an error like shown in the blog <a href="/people/sap.user72/blog/2005/11/29/xi-how-to-re-process-failed-xi-messages-automatically:///people/sap.user72/blog/2005/11/29/xi-how-to-re-process-failed-xi-messages-automatically.
    The adapter tries to proceed the same file again and again, till I delete it from the source directory.
    Any more idea?

  • Adapter types & comm. channels missing in comm channel monitoring

    Hello All,
    We recently created a new sandbox XI system from a copy of our XI Test system
    system. We used the SAPinst system copy process for ABAP+JAVA to create
    this new XI sandbox system. We have followed all of the XI/PI post copy procedures listed in the system copy documentation and almost everything is working except when we going into the runtime workbench for XTX and go into communication channel monitoring for the adapter engine. When we get
    here we do not see any adapter types where we should be seeing types such
    as JDBC, BD, CIDX, FILE, JMS, etc We also do not see any communication channels in the communication channel monitoring if we select use filter to display all.
    Any ideas?
    Any help on this would be much appreciated
    With regards
    Steven

    Hi,
    First check in Integration Directory. Just create any dummy Communication Channel, if you are able to select your adapter for your communicatio channel then this is a cache issue. Just refresh the CPACache by this url.
    http://<server name>:<HTTP Port>/CPACache/refresh?mode=full
    Else you are not able to select any adapter for your communication channel then you have forgot to import the SAP BASIS Software Component Version into Integration Repository.
    You can find it from your installation DVD's, and if you are not able to find then you can download it from service market place as given below..
    [Click on this URL|https://websmp205.sap-ag.de/~form/handler?_APP=00200682500000001943&_EVENT=SEARCH&HIDE=&SEARCH_SPAT=X&SEARCH_BPAT=X&SEARCH_CD=X&SEARCH_P=X&SEARCH_PV=X&SEARCH_C=X&SEARCH_CV=X&SEARCH_TA=&SEARCH_V=&HIDE_EXPERT_SEARCH=X&SEARCH_MAX_RESULT=20]

  • Receiver File adapter - FTPEx: 550 Permission denied

    Hi all,
    We are getting the following error from a File receiver comm. channel:
    Delivery of the message to the application using connection AFW failed, due to: com.sap.aii.adapter.file.ftp.FTPEx: 550 Permission denied to "inbound"..
    The FTP connection is anonymous so anyone (within our network) can login on this server, folder rights are also set to all i.e. anonymous user can create, read, delete files on the target folder.
    I have tested to the target folder using IE browser, I was able to logon the server, read, create and delete files.
    Has anyone of you an idea why the adapter engine still cannot create a file?

    Hi there,
    As explained before; we have tested the same FTP connection (using the same anonymous account) via a DOS session and also via IE (from the XI server), both tests were successful and we were able to create/delete files without any problem.
    So again, the problem is only with the File/FTP adapter which for some unexplained reason cannot get access to this folder.
    Are there any special (not mentioned in the SAP documentation?) prerequisites to establish a FTP connection using the file adapter?
    Any help is highly appreciated!
    Thanks, Roberto
    BTW; we are on SP14 and the XI server runs under a Windows Server machine.

  • Sender file adapter conversion Error!!

    Hello every one....
    I am stuck with a problem...in my scenario,, there are possiblities that file may contain more than required paramters... in such case,,, paramters defined in conversion should go ahead and others should be ignored...
    for this very purpose i added the paramter:
    row.fieldSeparator                 ,
    row.fieldNames                     orderno,authcode,status
    row.endSeparator                  'nl'
    row.additionalLastFields      ignore
    the scenario works fine if the file contains thrree comma separated values but it raises an error if no of paramters increase as :
    Conversion of file content to XML failed at position 0: java.lang.Exception: ERROR converting
    document line no. 1 according to structure 'row':java.lang.Exception: ERROR in configuration: more
    elements in file csv structure than field names specified!
    we are using PI 7.... does it require some more configuration in additoin to paramter row.additionalLastFields
    any help in this regard would be highly appreciated...
    thanx

    this parameter is already set, and this is the exact behavior i want from adapter engine...  but the problem
    here is different... the exception is raised at communication channel's conversion routine level,,, the retry
    interval is not the one defined in visual admin but infact the interval (polling) time defined in communication
    channel.... the system does'nt stop after 3 attempts,, but infact keep on trying to read it....
    one peice of information i  have found is in sap note:821267 , which states:
    *Q35:*
    Q: I have configured a File Sender channel with File Content
    Conversion or a custom-developed module, which may throw an
    exception. When the File Adapter encounters an invalid file, which
    triggers a conversion error or an exception in a module, the
    adapter will enter a retry interval and upon each following
    processing attempt try to process the faulty file. This basically
    prevents the File Adapter from picking up files that are located
    after the fauilty file according to the configured sort order. How
    can I change this behavior?
    o A: This is by design. When the File Adapter encounters an invalid
    file, manually remove this file from the configured source
    directory. You can configure an alerting rule to get notified each
    time this occurs.
    We are currently evaluating possible solutions that could be used
    to skip this manual interaction.
    now can there be a way around to make communication channel read the file only 3 times (value defined in adapter engine profile in visual admin)
    I have thaught of writing of module.... but the error is raised even before calling module !!
    any further clue ???

    Hi,
    Check the file path & file name , Check  the processing mode parameter which you have set?
    Check the folder properties & provide all the permission ...
    Finally check the communication channel status in RWB, If the problem persist try to stop & start the communication channel again..
    Hope it helps...

  • Sender File Adapter - Restrict number of file polled at each poll interval

    Hi all,
    PI  7.0 SPS16.
    We would like to know whether it is possible to configure a sender file adapter (file conversion mode) in order to restrain the number of file taken at each poll interval and if yes how ?
    Thanks for your future answers.
    Jean-Charles

    Hi Jean
    Standard adapter do not provide functionality to take an input like number of files to be taken at poll interval. But using adapter module you can achieve this.
    SAP PI is having the function to set poll timings and scheduling. You can write adapter module and execute this module using File adapter type communication channel before the standard bean and you can restrict the number of files.
    Check the link given above as well as this How to Guide
