File adapter issue - files not processed (file name mask is *)

Hi guys!
I have a problem I never faced before. My file adapter doesn't process files in the source directory. When I put there exact file's name, it is processed. But when I use * , nothing happen. This is very strange. I was wondering, if problem can't be in that my PI box is UNIX and it's accessing Win filesystem.
Any ideas, what to try?
Thank you!
Olian

Yes, but I meant the one directory we're working in. We can write, delete there, so we should be able also use wildcards, don't we?
However, I tried it on a directory with 777 attributes. There is a file named clooo.ttt. When I run del .ttt I get Requested action not taken, file unavailable. The same for clooo. , clooo*,... But when I type del clooo.ttt, the file is deleted...
Any suggestions?

FTP & Wildcards (File adapter issue) - asterisk not working

Hi guys!
We need to use FTP sender adapter and we need to pick up all files present in the directory. Normally we would use asterisk (*), but the adapter is not processing the files. It behaves like the directory would be empty.
Do you use wildcards in FTP sender channel? Is it working for you?
Thanx! Olian

Hey Olian
>>worng file list generation
whenever you give any wildcard character for filename first of all a file list is generated,this file list contains names of all the files in the source directory(if you have given *) or names of files which satisfy your selection criteria(if you have given?).
once the list is generated then the files are picked up based upon the list.
to me it looks that this list is not being generated and due to which you are unable to pick the files using wildcard.
There could be other issues too but i m not sure about them
Thanx

XI30 File Adapter - check for (NOT) incoming file

Hi!
We use XI30 SPS15 and have the following challenge: We expect every
week on a certain day a file coming from a customer. So far so good.
But now we want to check whether such a file has really come within a
given period of time and if not, we want to take some action (e.g.
trigger Alert or s.th. like that).
Business Background is: If the customer does not send the file or he
sends it too late, we cannot bill him in time, thus increasing our DSO.
Is there any mechanism within the XI to check things like these and to
trigger an alert? I've read the File Adapter Documentation as well as
the BPM documentation but I could not find any hint.
Any help would be great. Thanx!
Regards,
Volker kolberg

hi volker,
this is not supported in standard but...
you can do it very easily with standard ABAP job scheduling
- you schedule a job (every week, day etc.)
which starts a raport that send a RFC (or abap proxy call to the XI)
- then the RFC starts a BPM and inside it triggers a
java proxy that checks for a file
- if the proxy finds the file then if copies it to some other folder (which is monitored by another flow)
- if it doesn't find the file it triggers an error - sends mail or anything
the only thing you need to code is a few lines in java
to check the existance of a file + copying nothing else:)
this is the easiest way I believe till now <= Sp15

Could not process file 'Input 110110b.txt': com.sap.aii.adapter.file.

I have a FILE Adapter using FTP as a transport that is generating a very odd error.
The FTP sender channel is giving the following error is set up to retreive all files (*) from a specific directory. If you look at the error, it indicates an error processing the file 'Input 110110b.txt' as a file -- the only way this filename woudl be visible is if the adapater interrogated the directory, or the filename was hard-coded in the file mask. But the error indicates it can't change to the directory. The only way it would have come up with the file is if it had already CD'd t that directory.
1/7/11 8:12:01 AM   Retry interval started. Length: 60.0 seconds
1/7/11 8:12:01 AM   Could not process file 'Input 110110b.txt': com.sap.aii.adapter.file.ftp.FTPEx: 550 Failed to change directory.
1/7/11 8:12:00 AM   Processing started
My first thought was a simple permission issue, so I opened a connection to server with FileZilla (an FTP client) and was able to retrieve the file without a problem. I was also able to drop a file in the directory. There is no permissions problem.

Hi
Please check the below points before processing any file
a) check the File placing by a Local Plant FTP owner is using the same authentification credentials It means both PI and source team needs to use same FTP User ID and login credentials otherwise if suppose if source team is placing with one User and PI cannot able to pick that file as this User cannot have permissions in this case also u will get 550 error
b) I know what ur telling is u manualy palced one file and able retrive...but do one thing u can login with same PI FTP login server credentials and then place the file with different name also I suggest lets test the channel by simply keeping
. not simply * if you keep simply * then u cna use in receiver chanel while using dynamic connfiguration.
Else give *.txt and then activate the channel and also please check the CACHE as well

File adapter polling and getting the file name 11g Jdeveloper

I am using JDeveloper 11g. My process is something like;
A file adapter reads a XML file
This triggers the BPM process, file content is sent to start activity as message
I have to get the file name that is read by file adapter.
How to do that? Any help is appreciated.
I have seen couple of answers like bellow in forum but did not help me much
This is a very simple task in JDeveloper 11g, file adapters are linked to the receive activity, here there is a tab called Properties which you can use to extract the file name. Please follow the steps below:
1. Create a Simple Type variable of string type, call it fileName_var or any name you wish.
2. Open the Receive activity in your bpel project.
3. Scroll down to jca.file.FileName and double click on the value column, click on the browse button (...), select Variable, then click the search icon
4. Locate your recently created variable
5. Now when your project runs it will assign the file name to this variable, you can use this same approach also to pull the directory, file size, etc.
*************************/

hi,
Like you said.. steps are simple and clearly mentioned in guide.
1. create a variable of type string
2. after configuring the file adapter , go to corresponding receive activity , go to properties tab
3. search for a property with name as jca.file.FileName . This basically keeps track of file name
4. for this property, give the value as name of variable created in step 1 above
5. Use this variable anywhere in assign / transform

Can we use FILE IO in File Adapter ? If not, Why?

Hello,
I want to clarrify one important issue of FIle Adapter.
Can we use FILE I/O in case of File Adapter to process the files.
PLease explain me with a reason and a sample example.
Thanks,
Soorya.

I think you can handle File IO in Java Mapping by using
public void execute(InputStream in, OutputStream out)
// Here You can desired the output from source XML structure by using SAX/DOM parser to Target XML file.

File adapter polls before the processing is finished in R3

Hi,
Polling in sender file adapter is set as 4 secs. The problem arises when more than one files with same Service Order number are uploaded and the corresponding IDOCs are simultaneously received in R3 system. As one IDOC is already processing the Service Order, the other IDOC fails as the Service Order is already being processed.
Kindly suggest if there is a way to resolve this issue.

Base64Binary OSB and File Adapter Issue

Hi all,
I am converting an xml to flat file after that i want to write the flatfile to a file using File Adapter in OSB.
So using java callout we converted the binary content to base64 string and we are able to write the data using file adapter .
But the file contains as extra line in between each line which my legacy system wont accept.
I printed the base64 string in the output file and when i decode that file using the website as safe decode as text i am able to get the correct file.
So where is the problem ? File Adapter ? Why i am getting extrace line in between each line . How to write safely using file adapter.
If i use file transport of OSB i am able to write without any issues but i want to write dynamic location so i am looking for file transport of OSB.
Thanks
Phani

Hi Anju,
Thanks for the response . If i decode the base64 binary data using this website if i use Notepad++ i cant see an extra line in the notepad++ it showing as below
Its a fixed length file 1 to 513 then next line so for the file transport it showing as below
ISA ............................
1 to 513 CRLF
For file adapter it is showing as below in the same notepad++ editor
ISA..........................
1 to 513 CR
CRLF
an extra CR so an extra line .
I used MFL and converted the xml to non-xml ( flat file fixed length file) for file transport i am i created another proxy message type Text .It is working fine
Added to the above problem i have another few questions on the file transport
How can append to an exiting file using File transport ?
How to change the File directory dynamically ?

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]*

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,

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.
I tested now but i am geting below error.
Putting message into send queue failed, due to: com.sap.aii.af.ra.ms.api.DuplicateMessageException: Message ID f4ca4f86-9c5d-4bdd-1fb1-a6bd7cda99a8(OUTBOUND) already exists in database: com.sap.sql.DuplicateKeyException: [NWMss][SQLServer JDBC Driver][SQLServer]Violation of PRIMARY KEY constraint 'PK__XI_AF_MSG__491A1D0B'. Cannot insert duplicate key in object 'dbo.XI_AF_MSG'..
Could not archive file 'E:\file\in\ZMPSMSGSTATUSMST-20090527-150522-628.xml' after processing
but i am able to see this file in Archive foleder. once file is archivied sucessfully the same file is delted from source directory?
I given processing parametes queue name is TEST.
Thanks

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,

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

Took backup of data files and controlfile but not archive file db is 11g xe

took backup of data files and controlfile but not redo file db is 11g xe r2..was trying complete shut backup,..missed redo..
anyway to restore the db back..
I had failed to backup redo log file..
db was shut...properly
any info highly appreciated.
cheers

A controlfile create is a fairly trivial task, for either a cold backup or hot backup scenario. Well, its an easy task after you've done the process a few times.
If you have a healthy oracle instance running any place else, preferably at 11gR2, or even a 10g instance can work as an example, get a system connection and do an `alter database backup controlfile to trace;` and the instance will create a new trace file with all SQL commands needed to rebuild the controlfile in the instance trace directory.
Have a look at the trace file, a `show parameter diag` reveals the diagnostic_dest parameter, look for the "trace" directory under that folder, for the latest *trc file. In 10g its `show parameter dump` and the trace file goes straight to the user_dump_dest directory, no digging required.

File Adapter not processing Files which has COMMA in it

Hi Experts,
I am working on Project in SOA 11.1.1.6.
I am trying to process a file which has comma in it. for eg - XXXXXXX-XX_XX_XXX11,99.pdf
I am picking the file using file adapter from SOURCE directory and using another file adapter to WRITE to destination directory. Polling processing is working fine.
I am picking the file from SOURCE directory as ATTACHMENT and WRITING to DESTINATION folder through File Adapter
While doing file WRITE its failing. While reading the file the values of Content Type, Character Set and Encoding are NULL for the ATTACHMENT as they are optional properties.
The error I am getting while File WRITE is
<remoteFault>
<part name="summary">
<summary>java.lang.RuntimeException: Failed to decode properties string att.encoding=null,att.charset=null,att.contentId=AReadFile/XXXXXXXX_XX_XXX11,99.pdf_1352184009640,att.contentType=null,att.partName=attach</summary>
</part>
<part name="detail">
<detail>1</detail>
</part>
</remoteFault>

Comma is usually treated as a separator/delimiter and hence it is not really common to have comma in filename. I think because of this reason File adapter does not support it (have to cross-verify). If you really have a requirement to read/write files with comma in filename then better log a SR with Oracle support.

Anuj
