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

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?

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
Successful 02.11.2009 15:01:00 02.11.2009 15:01:01 APMANUAL urn:bl:i2g:003:100

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.

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,
Vaibhav

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 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 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.

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

the simple thing is that you need to have the folder on the xi server if you have to use NFS to access it.
Else FTP would be the choice. I am not sure how it would act in case you are able to mount the external folder on to the XI server. As somebody from your network team if thats a possibility and try to access it via NFS else you will have to go for FTP only.

File Adapter: picking files from multiple directories

Hi all,
In a sender file communication channel with Transport
Protocol FTP, There are 2 parameters for Picking up the file
called Source Directory and Filename. If I want to pick the
files from 2 or more directories, What needs to be done.
Or is it possible to do so ?
Without making duplicate interfaces what else can be done ?
Regards,
Vijay

Actually it is possible to select files from different folders for sender channel. It is available with SP14.
I just copy following description from help.sap.com
Advanced Selection for Source File
If you want to set an exclusion mask for the File Name specified above, or if you want to specify multiple directories using a file name mask and exclusion mask, set the Advanced Selection for Source File indicator.
¡ Specify an Exclusion Mask for the file name specified above.
Example
You want to process all files that have the extension '.txt', but want to exclude all files that begin with the letter 'a'. To do this, enter .txt for File Name, and a for Exclusion Mask.
¡ You can enter additional specifications for source directories, file names, and exclusion masks in the table. This data is processed in addition to the details specified above.

Reg: Sender File Adapter - Picking the files serially

Hi Folks
I have a requirement where I require help from you with you valuable suggestions/solutions. Requirement is :
1. Two different folders(folder1 & Folder2) at sender system, PI has to pick the files from Folder 1 and needs to process to target.
2. Exactly after 30min duration PI has to pick the files from the second folder i.e., from Folder 2.
Conditions are :
i) Only after processing the files from Folder 1 PI should process the files from Folder2(after 30min).
ii) We might have many files(approx 10 - 15files) in each folder, PI must poll all the file in the folder in a single poll(i.e., without any delay).
Please suggest me what could be the best solution for this, either to create two communication channels or can we handle it using a single communication channel.
Kindly suggest.

Hi Suman,
The easieiet way is to use single communication channel to pick up all the files from the first folder. Then run a unix script in after processing column where it will check for any files to be picked by xi in folder1 and then proceed with transferring files from folder2 to target.
By this, you are making the scenario simple and realistic.
There are other alternatives like using two communication channels and the only hurdle will be the timing to check whether the folder1 files have been completely picked up or not.
Regards
Krish.

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

File Adapter Not picking the files

Hi All,
We have a process wherein the file adapter picks up the file from a particular location and it processed thereafter. We get the files once every month. We noticed that if the files that are being dazzled are of the same, i.e if the same nomenclature is there for the file that was dazzled the previous month, the adapter does not pick up the file. Only after renaming the file, it picks the file and processed them.
Any idea why the files that are dazzled with the same name are not being picked up.
Thanks in Advance...!!

Hi,
While configuring file adapter to pick up the files cross verify with file name putting in the directory location against the
"Includes files with name pattern" "Excludes file with name pattern" file name..
let say if u kept .*txt if picks the files txt with any name and one more think once after picking up the file from particular location are u enabling (delete file once read) option in configuration(It all depends on ur req)..
cross check the schema element of the file pattern.

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?

Bhavesh

File Adapter Transactional in SOA and OSb

Hi All,
Is file adapter transactional in SOA and OSB. I have a requirement where a inbound file adapter polls for a file and it is consumed by a topic.If topic is down,how can I know that the same file will goes to topic when is up(how can I make it transactional).I want to do this both in SOA ans OSB.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Kumar.

Hi Kumar,
File Adapter itself is NON TRANSACTIONAL...
4.2.9 Nontransactional
The Oracle File Adapter picks up a file from an inbound directory, processes the file, and sends the processed file to an output directory. However, during this process if a failover occurs in the Oracle RAC back end or in an SOA managed server, then the file is processed twice because of the nontransactional nature of Oracle File Adapter. As a result, there can be duplicate files in the output directory.
