File adapter not green

Hi ,
My file adater status is showing grey color .Can you help me to make it green .
Cheers,

It is gray means it is not active. Go to the Integration Directory open the File Communication Channel, scroll down and make it active,save and then activate the changes from Change List.

i checked the adapter framework url at http://<ximachine>;<port>/AdapterFramework....and the status for the file adapter is green...
but the message it gives there is

There is probably something wrong with the File Adapter. You will need to go to the RunTime Workbench >> Component Monitoring >> Display >> Click on the Adapter Engine >> More information will display and click on the button 'Adapter Monitoring' >> A new window will display and click on the arrow next to your adapter engine. This displays a list of adapters running on your system. Green light means good; Red, you have a configuration problem. Look at the error and try and resolve it.

JCBC Adapter and File adapter not processing messages

Hi
I noticed that messages are being delivered to Adapter engine and the same are visible in Runtime Workbench with status "to be delivered". But, JDBC Adapter and File Adapter not processing these messages.
Any idea where I can find the problem?
I was able to re-deliver successfully via the JDBC Adapter using the MessagingSystem GUI using XISUPER user.
Regards
Chandu

Hi,
1.Status: TO_BE_DELIVERED
Which means that the message was successfully delivered from Integration Server point of view and it states that the messages is initially handed over to the Messaging System.
TO_BE_DELIVERED occurs while the message is put into the Messaging System receive queue.

Receiver file adapter not functioning

Hi guys,
We have developed some interfaces that are exporting some .txt files in ftp locations and therefore they make use of receiver file adapter. Although the receiver file adapter used to function properly some days ago, for some strange reason, it stopped receiving any files. This happens only in XI development system but not in XI production system. In XI development, in Runtime Workbench --> Communication Channel monitoring, I can see this communication channel's status as correctly configured and started, with a green sign on the right, but it is not responding when some files are sent to it, and therefore there are no output files in target directory.
Any ideas?? It is urgent.

Sender File Adapter not picking up the file

Hello Experts,
I have configured a sender file (FTP) adapter. All the configurations are right. The name of the file is given exactly as it is. The processing mode is Delete.
The scenario was running fine till today. I only made changes to the path from which it has to pick the file. I have checked the path numerously and it is correct.
But the file is not being picked up.
Monitoring the communication channel shows no errors. It has the green indicator. No idea what is happening.
Please Help,
Regards,
Merrilly

Hi
try to make some changes anf then again save and cativte the adapter. may be the adapter is not being activated.
also check whether the cache is refreshed or not.
or u can also check in the communication channel monitoring the channel is start or stop. if stop then start the channel and then try again.
if u still face the problem please reply me back.
Thanks

File Adapter Not Processing Large File

Hi Everyone,
We are experiencing a problem in an interface that includes file adapter. The scenario is as follows:
1. A .csv file containing multiple records needs to be processed; for each line of the .csv file, an XML file should be genrated. We are using the 'Recordsets Per Message' field in the Content Conversion Parameters to achieve this. After the source .csv file is processed, it is deleted.
We were testing with small 15-30 records in each input file. For the purpose of testing scalability, we increased the number of records in a file to nearly 300. But the file adapter did not pick up the file.Comm.Channel in RWB is showing green, MDT contains no entries and SXMB_MONI also shows no messages. What can be the problem? Is there any limit on the size of file that can be converted in this way?
Awaiting your replies,
Regards,
Amitabha

Amitabha,
300 records should not be a problem at all. If you are not getting any error msg in CC monitoring, then it is time you take a look into VA logs.

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

Receiver File Adapter Not Executing OS Command

Hello All!
We are currently running PI 7.1 and wish to use a Receiver File Adapter to FTP a file to a mainframe and override the FTP system defaults.
Tried using the 'quote site recfm=fb lrecl=80' OS command but discovered that this would not work as the Adapter Engine is NOT on the mainframe.
Regrouped a bit and made a second attempt which involved writing a Unix script to ftp a file and override rthe system defaults. The idea was to use the File Adapter to FTP the data to the server, invoke the script and get the file to the mainframe with the proper attributes. The script when executed on the server works perfectly.
However, when the IDoc comes thru PI, the File Adapter ftp's the file ok but the script is never executed.
Any ideas why this is so or any suggestions?
Thank you.

Hi Ken,
Script only executes at Network File sharing (NFS) only. It dont work at FTP level.
So you can better write the file on NFS and then within the script to connect to ftp and do your processing.

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

Sender File Adapter Not Picking Any File

Dear Expert,
I am newbie in PI. Just tried to create File Content Conversion Scenario. Details as follow :
1. Source Directory ..\file\log\test_q.txt
2. Target Directory ..\file\log\xml\test_q.xml
Transport Protocol : NFS
Message Protocol : File Content Conversion
Adapter Engine : Integration Engine
I have completed all the design and configuration in IR and ID. However, when I produce the log file in the directory, nothing happen.
Hacing checked in the RWB as well, I could not find any clue. simply nothing happen.
Would you please advise me on how to trigger the interface? As per my understanding, sender file adapter will be activated directly once the file is created.
Thank you very much in advance.
Best Regards,
Y

Hi Yonisiwa,
Things you should check here are:
1) If the sender file adapter is active or not.
2) If the source directory is correctly spelt or not. (Check if you are using the correct slash \ or /)
3) The file name/mask is correct or not.
4) The polling interval is too long.
Alternatively, you can check the message monitoring in RWB at the adapter level and go into the audit log if the message.
There you can see the reason for the file not being picked up.
Also check the Communication Channel status in the Component Monitoring link in RWB.

Production issue - Sender File adapter not picking up the files from folder

Hi Guys,
Ever since the upgrade from XI 3.0 to PI 7.1, we have come acrossinstances of weird error.
Thsi time again - now the 3rd time - tandom basis, in our production PI server, we have teh file slying in the source directory folder in the server.
I can see the files lying there in AL11.
However, it looks like that the file polling has just stopped and the channel is going blank in channel monitoring.
I have checked in SXMB_MONI and there are no messages since the morning.
I have tried craeting a replica of the current channel but it is not working.
This is teh production server and thsi has alraedy created production issues.
I ahve checked in the SDN forum but am not able to find the details.
Plaese help me.
I am anyway going to raise the issue with SAP now.
Regards,
Archana

Hi Prateek,
I have trying all sorts since the morning and then just checked teh file permissions.
The file permissions were incorrect as compared ot the other files that were processed successfully today.
Somehow the permissions were changed on the server and the interface channel was not able to poll the files.
I got teh permissions changed back to 666 and all the files were pikced up in a minute.
I got the folder checked and it seems like that the permissions were changed somewhere very early in the morning and we are trying to find out how it happened and who did that.
However, another question i had - this sender file adapter was polling the source directory and deleting the files from there.
I would have expected that if the channel had issues with the file permission because of which it was not able to access the file, it would have thrown an error something like the file permissions error.
But there was not a single error in the channel monitoring.
How can we configure it in a beter way so that we at least soem kind of error indication?
Please advice.
Regards,
Archana

Sender File Adapter - Not Running

Hi,
I have developed a very simple scenario which uses the File adapter within the sender communication channel. I have done this sort of thing before and it always worked as expected. All that should happen is the file is picked up via FTP and turned to XML using Content Conversion. Easy stuff.
However, the adapter never appears to run. If an FTP adapter finds a file then you will see an entry in SXI_MONI. If an FTP adapter doesn't find a file then you see nothing. At the moment I am seeing nothing. However, I should be seeing something because all of my Connection/Access parameters are correct. There is a file there but it's not picking it up.
The question I have is this. Is there somewhere in SAP that I can see the adapter attempting to run. As the adapter polls every 60 seconds to see if a file is in place then surely this poll is logged somewhere in SAP. I would like to find out if the adapter simply isn't running at all or it is and is having issues. Only way to do this is to find a log/screen in SAP which details the adapter polling the sending server. Is this possible ?
Cheers,
PaulC.
Edited by: paul clements on Jun 9, 2011 12:58 PM

● You have started the Runtime Workbench, are in component monitoring, and have selected an Adapter Engine as your component.
● On the Status tab page, you have chosen Communication Channel Monitoring to call the communication channel monitor.

Sender File Adapter not able to get file via FTP from an external system

Hi,
I have a Sender File Adapter using FTP which polls a server every 10 seconds looking for a file ".xml". The adapter will connect and pick up the waiting file, but sometimes the adapter not able to get file via FTP from an external system. The file is on the server, but despite the polling, the adapter does not pick up it. There is no return error.
The connect mode is Permanently and the transfer mode is Binary.
Can you help me?
Thanks.
T.

Hi Teresa,
does this case appears with a file size higher the others?
Personally, I do not recommend to have a polling under 1min.
10s could be too just, if the file is not small and/or if the file server is far (several kilometers) to where the Adapter Engine is, and/or this file server is beside a firewall. Do not forget also that, with previous points, you could have like a conflict, betwen the 1st polling and the 2nd polling, if in less 10s PI adapter has not enough time: to connect to the FTP server (several Km), find the file (perhaps among 100 other files in the directory), go back to the file to Adapter Engine server (several Km again), convert your file to XML message (with a complex Content Conversion), then check the XML structure, and when all that is done, return back to FTP server (several Km), to archive the source file... Well It's my understanding of a FTP exchange with FILE adapter...
If you really need a 10s polling, that's mean your have a pseudo real time interface. In that case, in my mind file should not be used! but we should use a Web service, JDBC JMS (any exchange without a physical object like a file). For me, it's a non-sens to have a file in that case.
