File Adapter -- Picking has to wait untill it get fully loaded/write.

Hi All,
I need to pick the files from a folder and I need to pick the files only which has been written completely.
I should not pick the file in the middle while writing, I need to wait untill it finishes the writing completely.
Is there any setting I can put in Sender File adapter to do this?
Thanks
Seema

Nithya,
>> Try to increase the processing time in the sender communication channel, so that it allows you to completely load the file. Check the time which is needed to upload the file to the directory manually and correspondingly change the processing time.
We do not know exactly at what time the file will be placed in the folder. It may be at any time. So I cannot put the processing time accurately.
Aamir,
>> If you are picking from FTP,MSecs wont work there.the sender program which writes the file must write the file in some temporary format like .dat etc and once the file is complete it should change the filename to .txt,configure the sender file adapter to pick only *.txt files.
This is a good idea. But I don't think I can ask them to change at the other end as it is working previously with other middleware.
Guys,
Can you please advice which is the best thing we can do at this point of time.?
Thanks
Seema.

Sender File Adapter picking the same file twice

We are facing a weird issue with File Sender Adapter
We are using PI File Adapter ( NFS ) to read files for a NFS folder and
processing those in PI.Normally it works fine. But for a scenario we
are noticing it sometimes process the same file twice before archiving,
thus duplicating the financial postings.
What we have is :
File Sender Adapter - NFS, Polling interval 60 secs, and Processign
mdoe Archive. File name includes Wildcards - JE_Upload*.txt
what we are noticing is that :
when it picks up a file, it immediately polls again to check for
another file, and sometimes the file is not yet archived so it picks up
and reprocess the same file.
If you see the message below, both belong to the same file, and it
picked up the same file again in 12 secs after processing it the first
time

Anyone seen this behavior before?

Hi,
Please check the script which creates file in source NFS Folders. There is possibility that script is making change in file when PI is picking up the file.
When PI picks the file first time it creates one message ID in system. After that if script is making any change in file without file name change (This need not necessary data change), for PI it becomes new file and new message gets generated in PI for same file.
This error normally comes when File adapter is not able to archive file succesfully. For eg. file with same name alredy exists in Archive folder.
File adapter generates the new message id whenfile get modified(eg.change in its length or data change) even though
the file name is same and when file get change ,XI file adapter thinks that its new file and hence generate the new message id for same file.
If file has same name and notmodified then XI adapter will not generate new message id and will keep on throw the error till you remove that file with same name from the
archieve directory.

Not sure whether to wait until I get my new mac notebook...

I just received my Ipad and wondered if I should wait until I get my Mac notebook before I download Itunes onto my Ipad. I currently use a PC and wondered if I download Itunes now will I be able to sync my Ipad with my new Mac notebook I'm getting next month?

This will not prevent you from syncing your iPad with your new Mac. An iPod Touch, iPhone, and iPad are not formatted for a Mac or PC.
In regards to iTunes content, an iPad can be synced with an iTunes library on a single computer only and photos can be transferred from a single computer only. When transferring iTunes content and photos from another computer, all iTunes content and photos transferred from a different computer will be erased from your iPad first.
You can sync contacts, calendar events, notes, and Safari bookmarks with the supported applications on multiple computers - between two Macs, between two PCs, or between a Mac and a PC.
When your get your Mac, you will want to transfer select data from your PC to your Mac that you will need or want to access on your Mac such as documents, photos, and your iTunes library. If your PC is a laptop or notebook, an Apple store can help you with transferring this data from your PC to your Mac.

Moving to australia - should I wait until i get there to buy an Ipad

Any advantage to waiting until I get to Australia to buy an Ipad?

If you are moving from the US the iPad 4 /Mini models in US
will not work outsde US on LTE unless you buy the Verizon/sprint model
The iPad 3generation does not work on LTE anywhere outside US
although 3 G will be fine on all models
see this

I will be traveling to Ireland - is there a way to purchase a microsim card before I leave, or must I wait until I get there and go to a store, like Vodaphone?

You need to wait and get it from a carrier in Ireland. Besides, you'd be bummed if you could buy something here and then it didn't work there. Good thing you'll need to wait.

File adapter parameter "Msecs to Wait Before Modification Check" is gone

We are using PI 7.1 and we have the problem that the file adapter (ftp) picks up incomplete files from time to time. That causes a mapping error.
Have a look at sap note 821267 question 3.
https://websmp230.sap-ag.de/sap(bD1kZSZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/sapnotes/index2.htm?numm=821267
Here you can find a solution. But in reality this parameter isn't there. And if you check the current documentation
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwpi71/helpdata/en/44/655453b48a4ddfe10000000a1553f7/content.htm
you can't find this parameter too.
Has anybody of you the same effect? Does anybody of you know the reason? And the most important question is: What is the solution for this problem. The suggested work around in this note isn't possible for us.

Hi,
May be this thread can give you some idea to deal with your problem.. see my reply there
Re: Use temporary file in FTP receiver adapter
Sorry this will not help you here..
One solution which I think is.....
Put file in your source directory with diff name, and write an script which will rename it to its original name.
The logic for scrip should be something like this.
First of all when reading the file for the very first time then check the size and wait for 10 sec and then again check the size. If both size are same then scrip should rename the file to its original name.

Sender File Adapter: Picking of Files

Hi,
I have a requirement where in my file adapter has to pick files from a FTP server after 10 minutes of its creaion on the FTP server. Some application will place file on this FTP server exactly after 10 minutes of its creation on this FTP server only it should be picked by the sender File Adapter. Is there any way to achieve this? Please provide me your thoughts on resolving this.
Thanks,
Vijay Kumar T.

as mentioned by suraj, the ideal way is to have a spearate folder where the files will be moved after the 10 minutes of its creation.
PI/XI will poll this folder and pick files.
out of curiosity, can i know why there is such a requirement of 10 min?

File adapter picking up partial files

Hi All,
We are facing a wierd problem with the File Adapter.
The problem is that, we are getting the xml files from the source system, and PI is supposed to pick them up and process them. Sometimes, the file adapter is picking up the empty files / partial files, i.e., before the file is completely written on to the FTP folder.
We tried increasing the polling interval. But this did not help. Since we are taking the files from the FTP, the option "MSecs" in Additional Parameters also will not work. As we are on PI 7.0 SP13, we tried to search for the "Empty File Handling" option wherein we can make the file adapter skip the 0kb files. But we are not able to find that option anywhere.
Please help us find a solution to this problem.
Thanks,
Hari.

Hari,
In sender communication channel click on Advanced. Then you see the paramter Msecs to Wait Before Modification Check. Add a value 3000. Then you should be good.

File Adapter picks up the file but cant see it in MONI/Message Monitoring

Hi
I am using FCC in Sender File Adapter and have only one sub structure under Recordset hence I have not used the 'Key Field Name' though ''Key Field Type' by default is 'String(Case-Sensitive)'. Besides the 'fieldNames' heading I have mentioned all the fields of the sub structure in the same order as I have mentioned in the Data Type.
The problem that I am facing is that even though the file is picked up from ftp successfully still I cant see any traces of it in either MONI or Message Monitoring though
The error that I receive in the MDT is -
Success : Entire file content converted to XML format
Warning : Empty document found. Proceed without sending message
Success : File "Test.csv" deleted after processing
and I have data in the file.
Can u suggest a solution?
Warm regards,

File adapter picking up files with wrong content

Hello, We configured a file adapter to read *.xml files. We also defined the xsd for the files. We expected that the adapter would only pick up files that conform to the xsd. However we found that all *.xml files (even renamed jpeg's) are read. Is this intended behaviour? Or did we miss some configuration setting?
Richard

A short follow-up:
To make matters worse. If I take a completely different file (like the jpeg) and rename it .xml it gets picked up by the file adpater but there is no audit trail of the BPEL process instance. The file is not archived either, so it's completely gone! If I just change one of the elements the file is read and archived. I can also have the file adapter write the file with the wrong content.
I found a reference to a bug. (bug 5926809 or SR 6327165.994) is this related, is it solved?

File adapter picking

hi experts,
iam facing a problem in testing the file scenario i had developed. message monitoring and channel monotoring shows succesful messages. but, the file was not picking from the source folder.
i have access to ftp server but i cannot copy or paste the files within the server. iam accessing the xi server (dev)server through vpn . ftp also belongs to dev . iam accessing it through anonymous login. will i need to get more access to pick the file. please help

HI chiru,
do u access the files from FTP or local machine, if it is an FTP do check with the authorizations of the folder first and then check in the sender communication channel attributes i,e SET processing mode as delete it may be in Test mode and if it is OK.. then
go to Runtime Work Bench and choose component monitoring and from there choose adapter and go for communicatioin channel monitoring and there u just give the sender communication channel name and see the status of the communciation channel if it is ok the file is successfully picked by the adapter.. and then go and check with SXMB_MONI whether the file is processed or not..
For file adapter configuration follow this

File Adapte picking up XML if XSD valid without verifing the XSD in adapter

hi',
I am facing one issue
I have a sample XML file which I want to read through BPEL process
for this I have configured the file adapter with the schema and reading the file adapter with the receive activity
next I have created one XSD file (which file adapter referes to) and one XML file,
File adapter reads it after the XML file gets validated with the XSD which is kept in a location *'/test/xsd/emp.xsd'*,
now the issue is that the file adapter is picking up and initiating the process without verifying the XSD mentioned in the adapter
it is only checking the XML file with the XSD mentioned in the XML,
for example if I have a xml file which is refering to some other schema it also gets read by file adapter without worring about what schema is mentioned in file adapter
please advice me is this the way File adapter works in Oracle BPEL or I am doing some thing wrong
I am using SOA suite 10.1.3.3.0 which is deployed in UNIX enviornment.
thanks
Yatan

thanks Ketan ,
as you suggested, after adding validateXML to true, the XML is getting validated to the XSD in the adapter,
the process is getting invoked and the receive activity is throwing error of 'Invalid XML', this is perfect as I expected
however now the issue is, the file which is invalid in terms of XSD present in the file adapter is still being archived to 'success dir' i.e. 'LogicalArchiveDirectory', ideally it should have moved to fail directory,
but if the XML file is not complete or having some error in terms of the XSD it is refering to 'target namespace' and 'target location'
then it will move to the fail directory and the receive activity is also showing the error,
see this is how I have configured my bpel.xml file for the file adapter.
<activationAgents>
<activationAgent className="oracle.tip.adapter.fw.agent.jca.JCAActivationAgent" partnerLink="Read_Tph_ProdTrans_File">
<property name=*"prod_trans_success_file" type="LogicalArchiveDirectory"*>/aaa/bb/ccc/wis/tph/bpl_inbound/adjust/success</property>
<property name=*"prod_trans_incoming_file" type="LogicalDirectory"*>/aaa/bb/ccc/wis/tph/bpl_inbound/adjust/new</property>
<property name="portType">Read_ptt</property>
<property name="rejectedMessageHandlers">file:///aaa/bb/ccc/wis/tph/bpl_inbound/adjust/fail</property>
</activationAgent>
please advice how to bring this adapter to proper behaviour.
thanks
Yatan

Asset Download in Market has to wait until CC Complete Sync

Hello,
If I´m uploading a big PSD file to CC Files and try to download a Market Asset I have to wait until the big file upload to download a 2~3kb files. There´s another way? I sometimes pause the Sync and start again and that works but not always. You should fix that. Perhaps a parallel download pipe or something for Market assets.
Thanks in advance.

Wait until content gets ditributed to dp then download?

Hey guys, i have a question about distribution points and content. So i have couple distribution points and i wouldn't like clients bounded to dp2 get some content from dp1. I mean if I deploy some content and that content is not yet available on dp2 clients
bounded to that dp2 would have to wait until that content get distibuted to dp at first...

Hello,
"Allow fallback source locations for content" is available on a per-deployment basis. So you can check the option on DP, and determine whether it is allowed on each deployment.

File adapter picking up file before them is completely written

HI all
My problem is that, a sender communication channel (FTP) pick up the file before them is completely written on to the FTP folder.
the parameter "Msecs to Wait Before Modification Check" is in 6000, but the CC pick them up.
Please help!
Thanks.

Hey
>>Msecs to Wait Before Modification Check
The above parameter is only applicable when picking file from NFS,it has no effect on FTP.
To solve your problem,please look at question 3 of SAP Note 821267
Thanks
