Receive File Adapter - Error in CallSAPAdapter Name not known

Using xml to File Adapter. Just want to store the xml file somewhere ie on XI Server in folder E:\usr\sap\interface\XMLfiles
Getting error in Adapter Engine - Exception caught by adapter framework: Object not found in lookup of CallSAPAdapter.
Delivery of the message to the application using connection File_http://sap.com/xi/XI/System failed, due to: com.sap.aii.af.ra.ms.api.RecoverableException: Object not found in lookup of CallSAPAdapter.: com.sap.engine.services.jndi.persistent.exceptions.NameNotFoundException: Object not found in lookup of CallSAPAdapter..
Receiver Adapter configured to receive file write a .tmp version no conversion so set type to Binary.
I can see the Communication Channel in the monitor green.
Any ideas to find the problem
thanks,

I tried changing the communication channel as suggested with no further success. I have viewed the LogViewer on the server in cluster->server->logs defaultTrace.trc and com.sap.xi -> xi.log with no more information available.
So is it that I cannot do a simple XML send to file receiver and leave its content unchanged?
My test message payload was of the order
<?xml version="1.0"?><LIST><S_STX><C_STDS><D_STDS1>... with all the data in.
Adapter type = file
Receiver
Transport Protocol = File System (NFS)
Message Protocol = File
Adapter Engine = Integration Server
Target Directory = E:/usr/sap/Interfaces/XMLFiles (and tried it with /usr/sap/interface/XMLFiles)
Create filedirectory = ticked
Filename filename.xml
File Construction Mode = add timestamp
Write Mode = use temporary file
Temporary filename scheme = filename.tmp
Filetype = Binary
Module Tab
1 localejbs/CallSAPAdapter Local Enterprise Bean 0
and thats it.
On testing from the Integration Engine it reaches the Adapter Engine and reports the error as stated in my first post.

Now I have been reading all the documentation available and forum questions in this area but there is a lot of information but not quite for what I am currently trying to do. I need to preserve the xml file as xml for further processing. This is just a resting place for the file as I am trying to cut down a long running (over a day) collect BPM scenario by collecting the files in the directory then triggering the collect scenario to read in the files from this directory and perform all the processing and mapping in one chunk of short time. (But that is another story)
Any more suggestions appreciated could the SAPCallAdapter not be where I think it is? Does my directory and filename case have to be exact lower and upper case. (I will test this tomorrow)...and let you know if any difference and continue to read the links put on by the other person who answered.
thanks,

File Adapter Source Directory

I have set up a File Adapter comms channel that should be picking up a file from the XI SAP system directory path F:\usr\sap\temp.
I place a file in that directory and can see it via SAP transx AL11.
However my comms channel is not picking up the file so my process does not start. I had previously been using a FTP File Adapter and that was working fine. So I know my other configuration is correct. I now needed to testing something use just the plain File Adapter.
The RunTime Cache has been refreshed and I can see my CC via SXI_CACHE.
Here is what I have entered into the File Sender Adapter
Transport Protocol : File
Message Protocol : File
Adapter Engine : Integration Server
Source directory : F:\usr\sap\temp
File Name : MYFILE.XML
Processing Options :
QAS : EO
Poll Interval 60s
Processing Mode : Delete
Processing Seq : By Name
File Type : Binary
Adapter Status : ACTIVE

Hi
check the following things
first select ur message protocol as "NFS". save the changes and activate the channel.
if still not work go to the communication channel monitoring using the path
runtime work bench->compnent monitoring->dispaly->adapter ebngine->communication channel monitoring--->enter ur channel name and click on use filer button.
and check whether the channel is started or stopped.
if stopped start the channel and the try.
if u still face the problem please reply me back.
Thanks

XI 3.0 -- Local Adapter Engine

Hi all,
I can sent the file of my local PC to the XI 3.0 by using the local adapter engine of XI 2.0. But I can't do it by using the File Adapter Communication Channel in XI 3.0.
In my XI 2.0 local adapter engine, I startup the RUN_ADAPTER.BAT in my local adapter engine folder. And create the file_inbound adapter: File_2_M47 as:
## file adapter java class
classname=com.sap.aii.messaging.adapter.ModuleFile2XMB
mode=FILE2XMB
Integration Engine address and document settings (example, see docu)
XMB.TargetURL=http://10.37.217.65:8000/sap/xi/engine?type=entry
XMB.User=xiuser
XMB.Password=xipass
XMB.SenderBusinessSystem=FILE_SYSTEM
XMB.SenderInterfaceNamespace=http://trevorecc5.com/xi/file
XMB.SenderInterfaceName=ZMI_SO_IDOC
XMB.ContentKind=B
#XMB.ContentKind=T
XMB.ContentType=application/xml
#XMB.ContentType=text/xml
#XMB.ContentType=text/plain
XMB.QualityOfService=EO
##File Adapter specific parameters (example, see docu)
file.sourceDir=C:/filetoidoc
file.sourceFilename=.
file.processingMode=setAttribute
#file.processingMode=delete
#file.processingMode=archive
#file.archiveDir=c:/temp_archive
file.pollInterval=20
##xml conversion properties if mode FILE2XMBWITHROWCONVERSION specified (example, see docu)
#xml.fieldFixedLengths=15,25
xml.processFieldNames=notAvailable
xml.fieldSeparator=;
Note: The IP address (10.37.217.65 ) is my XI 3.0 server.
I can send the file of my folder - C:/filetoidoc.
I have configured the Comunication Channel in XI 3.0.
And the related parameters like as:
Comunication Channel: CC_FILE_IDOC
Service : FILE_SYSTEM
Adapter type : File
 : Sender
Transport Protocol : File System(NFS)
Message Protocol : File
Adapter Engine : Integration Server
Source Directory : C:/filetoidoc
File Name : .
Quality Service : Exactly Once
Poll Interval : 20
Processing Mode : Set to Read-Only
Empty-File Handling : Do Not Create Message
Process Sequence : By Name
File Type : Binary
Status : Active
The sender comunication channel CC_FILE_IDOC has been assigned to the sender aggreement /File_System/ZMI_SO_IDOC/ of namespaces: http://trevorecc5.com/xi/file
But it can't work!
I don't know how to configure the file adapter Comunication Channel for my sending in XI 3.0.
Any help is appreciated.

Trevor

Hi,
>I think the XI 2.0 local adapter engine is more useful than the XI 3.0 comunication channel.
I ve never had the opportunity to work on XI 2.0 but the difference lies in the entire architecture of the Adapter Engine in XI 2.0 and XI 3.0
While XI 2.0 had the adapter Engine as a J2SE based engine, XI 3.0 is based on the J2EE framework and thereby allows more features including modules , and also supports different types of adapters and custom developed adapters as well.
There is no real difficulty in configuring an adapter in XI 3.0 but ofcourse one should take in mind that the network level details should be beyong an XI developers job role.
You need to look at the fact that the problem you are facing is not because XI 3.0 adapter has some problem, but rather because you seem to have network restrictions!!

Inbound File Adapter problem

Can someone tell me why my message is not processed by XI. I use a File Adapter. The File Adapter is "active" with the following configuration.
Adapter type = File
transport protocal = Filesystem
message protocol = File
adapter engine = integration server
Source directory = "e:/XIprocessFiles"
File name = *.xml
File type = text

Edward,
What do you exactly meant with not processed? Is the file adapter not processing/sending your xml file to the XI system? Or
is your interface defined in XI not doing anything with the input message?
Assuming your situation is the first one; Then you should start by checking the source file name, source directory name, contentType (you have text, this should be text/xml), ContentKind (this should be T) and PollingInterval...
In the second situation you should then look at adapter config settings like: namespace, sender interface name, sender business name etc...
Cheers,
Rob

Unable to determine name of central adapter engine

We have a central SLD set up. I am now moving some configuration and testing from our dev environment to our qa environment. When I do a cache notification from the Integration Directory I receive a message stating that "Unable to determine the name of the central Adapter Engine from the System Landscape Directory". When I look under the technical system type of Exchange Infrastructure of the system landscape directory I do not see the Adapter Engine of my QA or Production environment. I only see one central adapter engine listed. That of my development environment. It will not let me define another technical system to add these adapter engines because the button New Technical System is grayed out. How do I get these adapter engines defined in the SLD?
Thanks,
Jim

I also had the same problem. But when I opened Integration Directory and Repository from the links, it got added to the Technical system under Exchange Infrastructure. Only Adapter Engine was not getting added.
But after applying the note 764176. Adapter Engine added to SLD and after refreshing cache now Adapter Engine also got added to RWB components.
Only one problem now - in Message monitoring, If I select Adapter Engine from the drop down, I get page cannot be displayed. Is it due to the fact that I dont have any adapters configured?? and also no messages available for that matter?? as it is a fresh box..

How can I change adapter engine from Non central to central

My adapter engine is assigned as non central. However I want to have the adapter engine as part of the integration server.
If I look in the RWB, the adapter engine listed under the non central adpater engine. However I would like to move it under the Integration server Engine.
Can this be done or do I have to reinstall XI to get the adapter engine grouped with the IS.
Currenty componenets under the domain I have:
1) Integration which has Integration Engine, busines process engine and Mapping runtime.
2) Integration engine are blank, nothing underneath
3) non central adapter engine
my adapter engine here
4) j2se adpater nothing underneath
4) Tools
So what I want to do is move the Non central adapter engine to be underneath the Integration Server.
Any ideas how to do this....withoout a reinstall?
Thanks
Mikie

RFC Adapter Problem: Adapter Engine Field Blank

Hi,
I want to invoke a BAPI defined on a R/3 system. I am trying to create a RFC Adapter in the Integration Directory by creating a communication channel.
The problem I am facing is that when I define the Adapter Type as RFC, the Adapter Engine dropdown list is blank and it does not contain any entries.
On passing a document through XI, I can see the following error in the monitor:
<SAP:Code area="INTERNAL">ADAPTER_NAME_INVALID</SAP:Code>
<SAP:P1>RFC</SAP:P1>
<SAP:P2>PLSRV_CALL_ADAPTER</SAP:P2>
<SAP:P3 />
<SAP:P4 />
<SAP:AdditionalText />
<SAP:ApplicationFaultMessage namespace="" />
<SAP:Stack>Unknown receiver adapter (name = RFC)</SAP:Stack>
what do i need to configure on the XI and R/3 side ?
thanks,
Manish

i followed the steps but i am not getting the populated adapter engine list.
Actually, the Association shows a list of logical systems to be added (Application System, BC Application Server, BC Central Server Instance .....). I experimented with many systems but it is not working.
My basic problem is I need to call a BAPI from XI. The XI monitor shows the error :
Adapter Name Invalid.
Unknown Receiver Adapter (name=RFC).
Now, for the RFC adapter, I have not given it any name. My Communication Channel is called GeneratedChannelRFC. I am not sure where this error is coming from. I would appreciate any help to solve this error.
thanks,
Manish

Adapter Engine Field missing --

Hi All,
I'm trying to create new Communication Channel in our QA system.
I'm using 'Sender File Adapter' But somehow When I choose below option, the last value (Adapter Engine) is blank.
- Adapter type : Sender FILE http://sap.com/xi/XI/System SAP BASIS 7.00
- Transport Protocal : File System (NFS).
- Message Protocal : File
- Adapter Engine : ??????? (Blank)..
We are under PI 7.0 and I did same in Dev but it's not in QA. I think the value of 'Adapter Engine ' should be 'Integration Server'
automatically. Any Idea?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Yes, if your adapter reside in the central adapter engine then it should be in the IS.
Adapters that host in different adapter engine, then decental adapter engine need to be selected.
Check you SLD configuration, whether there is an entry for your Adapter Engine or not.
Have a Look on this SAP Note : 764176, do hope it will resolve you problem.
Look for these discussion: Unable to determine name of central adapter engine
Missing Adapter Engine in the XI Domain (in the RTWB view)
Thanks

Adapter engine field blank in File Comm channel (Sender)

Hi,
I am not getting any value in drop-down list of adapter engine in file adapter communication channel.System is allowing me to save the comm channel but when I am trying to create sender agreement, system is giving me following error
Unable to find an associated SLD element (source element: SAP_XIIntegrationDirectory, [CreationClassName, SAP_XIIntegrationDirectory, string, Name, directory.s01., string], target element type: SAP_XIIntegrationServer)
I m getting values of adapter engine when I select some other adpter like IDOC or RFC.
Please help...

Hi,
1) Can you check your Post Installation.
2) Look for SAP NOTES.
3) Try cache refresh
a)Start transaction SXI_CACHE.
b)From the context menu XI Runtime Cache select Start Complete Cache Refresh.
If you still face issue try this .
Many actions require to access System Landscape Directory content from the Integration Builder. To optimize performance, this content is loaded into a cache so that the System Landscape Directory does not have to be accessed directly each time that System Landscape Directory content is required.
However, this cache is not automatically updated if changes are made to the content of the System Landscape Directory. For this reason that we delete the System Landscape Directory cache if changes have been made to content in the System Landscape Directory. The cache is then filled each time that the System Landscape Directory is accessed. If we log on to the Integration Builder after we have made a change in the SLD, we do not need to delete the SLD cache.
To clear the SLD cache, from the Integration Builder main menu, choose Environment ® Delete Cache for SLD Data.
Once we have deleted the cache for SLD data, accessing objects in the SLD may take longer than usual initially.

Adapter Engine NOT in the drop-down list - RFC adapter, Communication Chan

Hello XI Experts,
I recently installed IDES (ERP2005) along with XI (NW2004s). I carried out the post installation steps for XI. I set up XI (technical systems, business systems, etc).
I have started to create an RFC to File XI interface. I have carried out the necessary steps in the Integration Repository and am now setting up the scenario, etc in the Integration Directory.
I have reached the stage of creating the communication channel of type RFC for the sender system. However, when I do this, the adapter engine is empty i.e. there are no possible entries in the drop-down list. I was expecting to see "Integration Server" as a possible entry.
Could someone advise me on what I may have missed which leads to this problem?
Thanks and regards,
Nicholas.

Hi,
You have to get the SWCV from SAP market place.
Support Packages and Patches -> SAP NetWeaver -> SAP NETWEAVER -> SAP NETWEAVER 2004S -> Entry by Component -> Content PI/XI
XI CONTENT SAP_BASIS 7.00 / 6.40
You have to upload the file in the Integration repository
Best regards

Sender File Adapter Not Showing in Decentral Adapter Engine

Hi,
We have recently implemented a Decentral Adapter Engine on a windows box. The adapter engine seems to be working fine because my adapters show and seem to work fine in it.
However, when I define a Sender File Adapter that uses File Content Conversion message protocol instead of just File messaeg protocol, the adapter does not show up in the decentral adapter engine.
I made sure that Adapter Engine parameter in the Sender File Adapter shows the new adapter engine but that does not seem to be working. If change the Adapter Enginer parameter to show the Central Adapter Engine, then I can see the Sender File Adapter on the Central Adapter engine and it works fine. (Note: The Central Adapter Engine is installed on a Unix box)
Here are the paramters I defined for the Sender File Adapter:
- Transport Protocol: File System (NFS)
- Message Protocol: File Content Conversion
- Adapter Engine: (new Adapter Name)
Source Directory: (
server/drive/path)
File Name: purchaseOrder.txt

Your help is much appreciated.

Hi Alaa,
look into this document:
http://service.sap.com/nw-howtoguides -> Exchange Infrastructure -> Troubleshooting: Adapter Engine 3.0 (Expert Call slides)
If the File Adapter works without conversion, then you should count the number of fields in a row. If it differs from the configuration, then it runs on error.
Another idea is to check the content type of the file. When you do not enter a File Encoding, then the file adapter assumes utf-8. If the file is for example latin-1, then the number of characters in a row are not counted correctly.
Regards
Stefan
