File Adapter on shared directory

Hi,
I am trying to use file adapter on a mapped network drive, windows machine.
I am getting this error:
ORABPEL-11001
Invalid Input Directory.
The value specified for the input (Physical/Logical)Directory activation parameter has an invalid value "O:\BCRSignatures"
Ensure that the following conditions are satisfied for the input directory :
1) It exists and is a directory (not a file). and
2) It is readable (file read permissions). and
3) If activation parameter "DeleteFile" is set to "true" then the directory should also have granted write permissions. and
4) If using a logical name, then ensure that the mapping from logical name<-physical directory is correctly specified in the deployment descriptor
The location is accesible for read and write within Windows.
The error persists even with "no delete files after processing" and "no archive processed files", options.
Any ideeas? Sugestions?

Latha

Hi Latha,
Can the user your running your AS access the directory? Assuming you're on windows, by default the process manager service runs as the local system account. Try running the service as a named user with sufficient privileges on the directory.

Is it possible to move the rsw.vba file to a shared directory?

As I create more global functions, contants, variables, subs etc., this file will get very important. So Important that I suspect if it were somehow to become corrupt, deleted or lost most or all of my scripts would be broken. Right now I don't have source control software so I would like to store this file on our fileserver. I have already moved my repositories, scripts and DataBank Files to this location.
Thanks in advance,
hagstal

i don't believe is possible to move the RSW.vba file to a shared directory, however you can just copy the file across different machines.
I would also strongly recommend that, (if this file is gonna become so important) to use a source control system, SVN and tortoise make a very good combination
(http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/).
Have a look at this thread, it has some other ideas on how to share your RSW.vba file

Getting a list of files from a shared directory

Hi All,
I need to get a list of files from a shared directory on another server and put them in a HTMLB TableView element with links to the files.
I was not successful with CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>DIRECTORY_LIST_FILES. This method works in test mode, but gives me a gui_not_supported exception in BSP. I guess BSPs are not allowed to use this.
Is there any other alternative?
I need to be able to upload the files as well.
Thanks,
Roman

Hi again,
Not sure about the shared directory files list...
In my opinion, this cannot be done using BSP.
But, you can try using VBScript to access the file system with object of that sort :
CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
it is only a thought and you can be sure to cross security problems by accessing files through a Web application...
Best regards,
Guillaume

File-adapter with Dynamic Directory/Filenames in Header-variables

Hi,
I have looked through the file-adapter documentation. And it says that you can use wildcards/regexpressions/dynamic file and directory names using the file-adapter-wizard. Also you can use the header-variables to specify the file and directory names at run-time.
Is it also possible to use the dynamic names using the header-variables?
I want to create a process that I can give in the file/directory-names at run-time and that it will look for a file using the wild-cards to pickup. Since at run-time I often do not know the name of the file, since it might contain a sequence or date/time-stamp. But I do know the location and the structure of the file name (that is specified at config-time).
The same question for outbound: if I specify a name in the header-variables with forexample '%seq%' in the name, like 'filename_%seq%.XML', will it then create the file with the sequence?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Martien

Hi,
I've been trhough this document over and over again, but did not find anything on how to do it actually. But I found out that the file-outbound-header wsdl does not contain a directory element after generation by the wizard. But you can add it afterwards.
Also you can replace the location attribute in the jca:address element of the adapter-wsdl by mcf properties (host, username, password) and override them by copying the values to the partnerlink using bpelx:properties.
I planned to put the details in my blog.

Martien

Dyanamic Configuration at receiver file adapter determine target directory

Hi Experts,
I have a requirement to determine the target directory during runtime.
From the source side one particular field determine the Target directory where you need to place file
ECC - PI - File adapter - this is the scenario
In target side 3 directories in the same server . but the directory should determine from source fields - werks
As I am new to PI Please describe the procedure in detail.
Thanks in advance.
Kevin

Hi Kevin,
Use the below UDF and map to the rootnode in the message mapping.
public String GetFileName(Container container){
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container.getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File","FileName");
String ourSourceFileName = conf.get(key);
return ourSourceFileName;
In the Advanced tab of the File adapter, check the option Adapter Specific Message Attributes. Under that, check the Filename option.
This would get the fieldname in the target filename.
Check the below link:

Setting the File Adapter Sender Source Directory...

Good morning, Experts
We have 2 sender file adapter communication channels in XI 7.0. Source directories for each are as follows:
Channel A - //757spgmr16-xp.sauder.com/SAP
Channel B - //devqas.sauder.com/ROOTBIN
Channel A works. Channel B does not. It returns "Configured source directory '//devqas.sauder.com/ROOTBIN' does not exist". When I remote into the XI box as the administrator I can open a Windows Explorer window and can see both of these source folders.
What user ID is used to access the NFS for the communication channel???
Any help you could give would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Chad

Is the integration engine running in a service on the XI server??? There are a number of SAP labelled services. Some are started with the log on of "Local system", some with the administrator account and then some with an ID of "SAPServicePID".
My guess here is that possibly this SAPServicePID user is running the integration engine and does not have permissions to the source directory??? Could this be the case???
Can somebody tell me the name of the service for the integration???

XI3.0 File Adapter - Changing target directory at runtime

Hi all,
I have a XI3.0 running and I'm using the file adapter of SAP Basis 7.00. I'm trying to change the target directory at runtime, as I already did with the file name. The file name could be changed using the DynamicConfiguration, but this does not work for the directory. In help.sap I found the hint to use the variable substitution of the communication channel. I did not get it running, but it also does not solve my problem since I don't want to get the value for the target directory from the message header, but from a SAP IS-U system.
Can anybody help me to solve this problem?

Hi,
while using variable substitution, did u set the indicator for create Directory:
<i>If the adapter is to create the target directory, if it doesn't already exist then set the indicator Create Target Directory.
If the indicator is not set and the target directory doesn't already exist the adapter returns an error.</i>

Receiver file adapter NFS - Access directory of other server

HI,
I need access from an file adapter type NFS to a shared folder on the SAP ECC server. This is possible?. Users who are connecting to assign permissions on the folder. The 2 servers are on the network and the server is not enabled SAP ECC FTP. All run on Windows 2003 server environments and the SAP PI Server is 7.1 EHP 1.

File Adapter : Dynamic Target Directory

Hi EveryBody,
I have an IDOC to File Scenario in which based on some field value X in IDOC i need to send the file to Different locations under the same FTP Server.
For Example : if X = 01 then Target folder T1
X = 02 then Target folder T2.
Can somebody help me out on the same.Possibly this can be done by Dynamic Configuration.Can somebody send me some links.
Regards,
Zabiulla

Hi,
First of all I would suggest to avoid the mail communications for the query.
Its against the SDN rules.
please read [Rules of Engagement|/thread/117188 [original link is broken];.
About Solution, you need not have to go for Dynamic Target Directory
You can use the Variable substitution concept here.
In the Target directory pass the %Var1%
and use Var1 ---> payload:<fieldName>
Refer to the last part of this link to understand this better,
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/bc/bb79d6061007419a081e58cbeaaf28/content.htm
For dynamic configuration you can also refer below link

Date and Time in Sender File Adapter Target Directory

Hi there,
is there a way of using Date and Time from XI to the Target Directory naming? To use variable substitution some fields of the message had to contain that date and time information, which is not our case.
For filename you can use "add time stamp" option, but and for target directory?
Thanks and regards,
Henrique.

Hi there, Moorthy
We've tried to write that shell script that you mentioned, but now we have a few doubts on how to make it create the proper directory.
In the file adapter, my target directory is "/%var1%/%var2%/", where %var1% and %var2% are variable substitutions, referencing data which comes from the payload. Now, I need the shell script to append "/<Year>/<Month>/" in the target directory. But where to archive the script? If it stays in the root directory, than how to make it create "/<Year>/<Month>/" folders inside a directory which is variable (/%var1%/%var2%/)?
Is there a way of passing %var1% and %var2% as parameters for the shell script?
Thanks a lot,
Henrique.

XI3.0 - file adapter create directory

Hi,
Is there anyway in 3.0 to prevent a receiver file adapter from creating a directory if it does not already exist. There was a parameter in the J2SE adapter but I do not know if or how this has been implemented in 3.0.
Regards
Ian

Ian,
SPS 17 introduces a new configuration setting for the receiver file adapter: "Create Target Directory" which does exactly what you want.
See http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/57/a21f407b402402e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm

Two sender file adapter

Hi.
We have two instances(central instace, dialog instance) on another hosts.
Becase of we want use sender file adapter, so we need place the file data on shared directory that the two instances can access it.
In this case two sender file adapter try to catch the file,
does the locking ploblem occurred?
regards,

Hi,
Yes it may cause the problem while reading the sender file.
The two instances will try to access the file ...it means you have processed the Sender fiel adapter as per File transfer....
But if youhave used the polling interval then...there will not be the problem...as only one instance will work for this.
Thanks
Swarup

FTP/File adapter issue (polling one file at a time)

Hi,
I have come across an interesting scenario. I have a folder in which many files are placed at once (around 20+).
In my adapter I need such a logic that whenever file adapter polls the directory, it should only pick one file, wait for the specified time (in PollingFrequency interval or maybe some other way) and then poll the next file. Right now it polls all the files in one go.
Is there any property that I can use or any other logic that can help me achieve this?
Thanks.

Hi, You can use MaxRaiseSize property. Set its value to 1.
