File adapter: lastFiledsOptional = YES

Hi, I have a file adapter that works fine with this setup:
Structure:
Head,1,Line,*
Adapter:
Head.lastFieldsOptional = YES
Line.lastFieldsOptional = YES
But with this setup, i still get the message
java.lang.Exception: Consistency error: field(s) missing - specify 'lastFieldsOptional' parameter to allow this
from the adapter monitoring:
Structure:
Head,1,Line,*,end,1
Adapter:
Head.lastFieldsOptional = YES
Line.lastFieldsOptional = YES
end.lastFieldsOptional = YES
Any suggestions?

Hi, yes the second setup fails with the same message, even after trying this:
Head,1,Line,,end,
It fails when the file content is like this:
00
99
It works then the file look like this:
00 header data
data data data
99

Sender File Adapter- Incrementing the counter in file name

Hello,
We have a requirement to read a different file name with every read. Every subsequent file would have a numeric counter updated when we receive it, we need to read that file as the directory would hold the previous files as well.
File structure :- EP<counter>.txt ; so first file would be EP001.txt, next one would be EP002.txt.
How could i do this in Sender file adapter, as there is no variable substitution available like receiver file adapter.
I cannot use wild card characters as the directory would contain previous files as well and we ned to pick the latest file.
Regards

Yes true this is not available in sender channel
>>I cannot use wild card characters as the directory would contain previous files as well and we ned to pick the latest file.
You can use EP* as the filename and use processing mode as Set to Read-Only

Zero size files in Sender File Adapter

Hello!
I have the problem with my Sender File Adapter (ftp).
Sometimes in ftp directory there are empty files or messages with a zero-sized payload.
This situation cause an error and Adapter "sleep" until I save-active it in a configuration. (before I removed the 0-size file...).
Any suggestion?
Thanks
Alessandro

Hi ,
What the note states is that if your Sender File adapter picks up and empty file, then it would not trigger any message at all.
So, if what that note says is correct, then I guess for the empty file, the adapter would not ve passed any message to the integration engine.
Is there any entry in SXMB_MONI? If yes, then it means some message is actaully being passed by the adapter engine to the integration engine which shouldnt have happened at all.
What does the error message in the File Adapter state?

PDF files in sender file adapter

Hi,
Can XI pick up pdf files (.pdf) from a folder using File Adapter?
If yes can u send me some blogs on this?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
It can be done by bypassing the payload from Integrationg engine.In this case this case XI will not process the PDF file but jus picks up the file from sender side and places it on the target side with no translations and message processing.No IR is required in this case.ID is enough.The file go thorough Adapter Engine it self.
Jus follow the link provided it works.
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/wiki?path=/display/xi/filetofilewithoutusingwithIntegration+Repository
But if u want to read the contents of the PDF also then there is no other way than writing the Javabased Moudle and configure it .
Thanks,

Using wildcards (*) in sender file adapter - FTP type

Hi guys!
Dooes it work using wildcards in sender file adapter (FTP type(!) (filesystem obviously work))? I tried it and it failed. it works only for exact name..
I read some articles about FTP and the result is, that ftp work always only with 1 file, so I'm wondering, if this is possible.
Thanks for info!
Olian

Thanks for all replies..
I know of course, that * can be used, I use it in many scenarios too. But on a FileSystem. It is not working if the sender type is FTP.
*, ., *.dat, ... nothing like that works.. Just exact file name.
I am able to pick up file, if I specify it's exact name, so there should be no problem with permissions..
Please, I'd appreciate one reply with comfirmation: yes, we are using asterisk (*) , we access source files via FTP and they are processed.
Is there anybody with this experience, that it works?
Thank you!

Need help with a simple process with FTP Adapter and File Adapter

I am trying out a simple BPEL process that gets a file in opaque mode from a FTP server using a FTP adapter and writes it to the local file system using a File Adapter. However, the file written is always empty (zero bytes). I then tried out the FTPDebatching sample using the same FTP server JNDI name and this work fine surprisingly. I also verified by looking at the FTP server logs that my process actually does hit the FTP server and seems to list the files based on the filtering condition - but it does not issue any GET or RETR commands to actually get the files. I am suspecting that the problem could be in the Receive, Assign or Invoke activities, but I am not able identify what it is.
I can provide additional info such as the contents of my bpel and wsdl files if needed.
Would appreciate if someone can help me with this at the earliest.
Thanks

Problem with FIle Adapter

Hi
We r facing typical problem with file adapter.
Lets say there are 30 files to be processed by placing an copy in arichive folder by file adapter based on pooling
parameters.
All the 30 files are picked up and we can see the copies in archive folder.
But when we go to RWB and check the audit log,
there we could see only 25 files , the 5 files are missing.
no trace found therre about the 5 files.
This is happening only some times and not to all the files placed in the FTP. Later when the same file is placed back from the Archive folder to the Source folder, the file is being picked and processed succesfully.
unfortunately this is happening on Production server
Any pointers which could trouble shoot this issue.
Regards
shekar chandra

Hi,
Couple of thing which you can try....
1. Use EOIO QoS and check if you still face the issue.
Is some program or application writing files to the directory? If yes I would recommend the use of a temporary name to write the files and then rename them.
Sometimes when an external application connects via FTP and transfers the files...
The file could be picked up by the adapter poll even before the transfer of data is done.
Which is why you will find that the file is archived but there is no xml message created for the same in the Integration engine.
Try increasing the poll interval. This helps sometimes.

Sender_interface_name in Variable Substitution in Receiver File Adapter CC

Hi,
as per this page : http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/bc/bb79d6061007419a081e58cbeaaf28/frameset.htm
it says:
Variable Substitution (Target Directory/File Name Scheme)
If you set the Enable indicator, you can enter variables for the Target Directory and File Name Scheme. Enter the names of the variables and references in the table.
●      Enter each variable that you reference in the Target Directory and File Name Scheme fields without the surrounding percentage sign under Name of Variables in the table.
The variables can refer to attributes of the message header or elements of the message payload.
○       If the variables are to refer to an attribute of the message header, add the prefix message: to the name of the variable under Reference. You can specify the following attributes of the message header:
sender_party, sender_service, receiver_party, receiver_service, interface_name, interface_namespace, message_id, message_id_hex
Can we not access sender_interface_name and sender_interface_namespace are not mentioned in above list of variables.
Is it not possible to access sender_interface_name or sender_interface_namespace as variable substitute parameters from within Receiver File Adapter Communication channel.
thanks.

Yes, i can hardcode, thats not a bad idea, i need to create then 3 different Reciever File Communication Channel objects, as I am dealing with 3 scenarios for which sender system and sender interface is different.

RECEIVER_SERVICE ReceiverService

it seems both INTERFACE (,INTERFACE_NAMESPACE) and RECEIVER_NAME(,RECEIVER_NAMESPACE) are present, may be one is for sender, and another is for receiver.. may be if i use dynamic configuration, possibly my issue would be addressed.. correct me if i am wrong.
thanks.

Dynamic File name in File Adapter

Hi,
I have a requirement to pass dynamic file name in File Adapter.
Is there any way to pass a variable for the file name attribut in file adapter.
I am looking for some options apart from %yyMMddHHmmss%,%SEQ%...etc
Please suggest if any of you have information on how to put values from a variable to file name attribute in file adapter
regards
Saiju

Hi Saiju,
Yes there is.
Assign your file name to a variable, let's say 'fileName'.
Now go to your invoke activity(for the specific fileadapter) -> Property tab-> find a property call jca.file.FileName -> in the value field assign 'fileName' variable.
That's it... (assuming you are using 11g)

Receiver file adapter not responding

Hi guys,
I have 2 interfaces in XI development system that make use of receiver file adapter in order to receive some .txt files. Although these communication channels used to work until yesterday, for some strange reason they stopped functioning, but only in development system. However, I cannot see any error in Runtime Workbench (Communication channel monitoring), it's status is "correctly configured and started" and has a green sign. But, when I sent a file from sender adapter, it is sent correctly, but it never gets received from receiver communication channel.
There is no error in SXMB_MONI either.
In XI production system, the same interfaces are functioning well.
Any ideas?
Best Regards

Reg:File adapter archive Directory

Dear team,
Our requirement is to read a csv file from a directory and archive the file in archive folder specified in the file adapter.
If any exception is caught,then we need to read the archieve file from archive directory rename the archive file with source file name and place it in source directory.
On the receive activity we are able to get the source file name and source file directory.
<receive name="Receive1" createInstance="yes"
variable="Receive1_Read_InputVariable" partnerLink="fileRead"
portType="ns1:Read_ptt" operation="Read">
<bpelx:property name="jca.file.FileName" variable="srcFileName"/>
<bpelx:property name="jca.file.Directory" variable="srcDrFolder"/>
How to get the archive file name and archive file directory from the receive activity so that we can store in local variables.
Pls do help.
Thanks

Hi,
Another way you can accomplish your scenario. Instead of deleting or archiving in beginning just move the file from inbound to archive location after business flow completion.
In case of error, the file will remain at original position as moving operation is at the end.
First read the file using read operation, then at the end create a file adapter with sync read operation. Change the entries in .jca generated with below sample.
Sample jca file.
<endpoint-interaction portType="SynchRead_ptt" operation="SynchRead">
<interaction-spec className="oracle.tip.adapter.file.outbound.FileIoInteractionSpec">

<property name="SourcePhysicalDirectory"
value="srcdir"/>
<property name="SourceFileName" value="abc.txt"/>
<property name="TargetPhysicalDirectory"
value="targetdir"/>
<property name="TargetFileName" value="abc.txt"/>
<property name="Type" value="MOVE"/>
</interaction-spec>
Then,in you bpel flow at the invoke for sync read add these two properties.
<bpelx:inputProperty name="jca.file.SourceFileName"
variable="varInputFileName"/>
<bpelx:inputProperty name="jca.file.TargetFileName"
variable="varArchiveFileName"/>
<bpelx:inputProperty name="jca.file.SourceDirectory"
variable="varInputDirectory"/>
<bpelx:inputProperty name="jca.file.TargetDirectory"
variable="varArchiveDirectory"/>

File adapter specific message attributes

Hi,
If we check ASMA of file adapter ......all the information corresponding to that attributes will be available in the SOAP header. If we check ASMA in the receiver file adapter then receiver file adapter will pick those values from the SOAP header and will assign to the target file.
Even we can directly set the target file name by accessing the system parameters through UDF.
please correct me if my understanding is wrong.
thanks
kumar

Hi Kumar,
If we check ASMA of file adapter ......all the information corresponding to that attributes will be available in the SOAP header
Every adapter has a defined set of attributes, which are described individually as part of the configuration for each of the adapters. So these attributes would be visible. And better to call it Message Header instead of SOAP header.
If we check ASMA in the receiver file adapter then receiver file adapter will pick those values from the SOAP header and will assign to the target file.
Yes, if mapping of these attributes are done.
Even we can directly set the target file name by accessing the system parameters through UDF.
Yes
