File Adapter-Processing Parameters

can one tell me the difference between and when to use the following processing parameters
poll interval(secs)
poll interval(msecs)
Retry Interval(Secs)
Advanced Mode & Msecs to wait before modification

Hi,
from help.sap.com
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/e3/94007075cae04f930cc4c034e411e1/content.htm
Poll Interval (secs)
Number of seconds that the adapter must wait if no files are found for processing.
Poll Interval (msecs)
Additional waiting time in milliseconds.
If Poll Interval (secs) is set to null, processing times will be short and close to real time.
If Poll Interval (secs) and Poll Interval (msecs) are set to null, the adapter is only called once.
Retry Interval (secs)
Specify the number of seconds that the adapter is to wait before a file processed with errors is processed again.
If the value is set to null, then the adapter is canceled if an error occurs, even if a value greater than null is specified for Poll Interval (secs).

File Adapter , Processing Sequence

Hi All,
 Can you please help me to understand these?
1. When i configure a Sender File Adapter with file pattern *.txt, Does it handle the files one after another? Or does it span multiple threads and processes multiple files in parallel?
2. If i select processing sequence as DATE, does it consider the time stamp also?
3. If a 100 mb file with name BIG.txt created at 1.00 AM,
 and a 0.1 mb file with name small created at 1.10 on the sender system. If 100MB file needs 30 min to get processed,
Then can i assume the second file get processed only after big file completely processed and reached the destination?
Regards
Ganges Leaves

Ganges,
During any polling interval, XI will pick all files matching your Criteria and process them parallely.
Even if the big file is being processed, the next file will be picked up by the adapter if it is available during the next polling interval.
All interfaces are executed independent of the other.
All this is if u choose the mode as Best Effort.

File adapter processing in FTP mode

Hello SDN,
I need some info on File adapter working in FTP mode.
What happens when we point to a remote file location that runs on FTP server?
FTP in standard does not support a remote read operation at all. So the only possible logic that strikes me is issue a FTP get command over the file and get the file locally, read it. Does it happen this way? Or SAP has customised FTP to enable the read operation from a remote location directly?
Regards,
Jai Shankar

Hi Jai,
I am sure you must have gone through this File/FTP help file earlier also. If you read the Procedure section of it, I think it will give you a clear idea what exactly happening there:

File Adapter--Processing parameter configuration

Hi Experts,
I need to configured the sender and reciever FTP Adapter to Archive a 37 MB text file within a FTP server.
It is taking 20 min to archive the file.
does this requirement requires any change in Parameter configuration(like transfer mode, channel availabilty planning( i am using daily with duration 30 min) to make it fast.
Thank you,
MK

Hi Experts,
To archive huge files using FTP adapter, i looked at the Michal weblog to zip the file :
/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2007/02/08/xipi-command-line-sample-functions
please explain how and where to write the below file
@ECHO OFF
7za.exe a -tzip D:\file_cat\%2.zip %1
del %1
and also explain
Zipping a file can also be done with jar.
For example,
jar cvf m.zip m.txt
will zip m.txt into m.zip
No need for any other software as jar is highly likely to be on the XI/PI server...
and how to implement it in the FTP adapter configuration.
Thanks in Advance.

File adapter causes FTP process stop result 0 byte file.

Has anyone ever heard that FTP adapter can cause FTP process to stop and end up with 0 byte file transferred?
We use the normal ftp script to ftp file from external file server place file in XI inbound folder so that file adapter can pick them up from that folder.
We have encounter a few 0 byte FTPed file in our system. One suspecting is the network between XI server and file server might get some interruption. With out just blaming on the network. We would like to know if there is any possibility that it is also causes by our file adapter? Says, it try to read the file that is not yet complete transferring make FTP give up transferring??
We would like to know if FTP process is transferring the file over and file adapter try to read, what will happen? Will it read file with incomplete content and ftp still go on? Or will it stop reading and return back error as the file could not be open? Or it will force FTP process to let go the file??
Best rgds,
Thida

Hi,
>We would like to know if there is any possibility that it is also causes by our file adapter? Says, it try to read the file that is not yet complete transferring make FTP give up transferring??
have not seen the file adapter causing any such problems. So, it looks like a network issue.
>We would like to know if FTP process is transferring the file over and file adapter try to read, what will happen? Will it read file with incomplete content and ftp still go on? Or will it stop reading and return back error as the file could not be open? Or it will force FTP process to let go the file??
Am not exactly sure, but when a file is being created and the file adapter tries to read such a file, the file would be READ and WRITE Locked and so File adapter should not be able to read such a file until the creation of the file is complete.
Also, take a look at the note : 821267 , question 31 for how file adapter processes empty file.

File adapter configuration parameter for "hexadecimal conversion"

(File adapter for XI 2.0)
Does anybody know the exact File adapter configuration parameters for reading a file with hexadecimal control characters as seperators. My file has
3 types of seperators - i.e "2F", "05" & "0D2F"
Eg: xml.fieldSeparator= "2F"
When I specify this the file is getting split into fields
at all the seperators in the file. I guess I am not using the right format in my defination ?
Dorai

Is there any special format for reading a file containing hexadecimal control characters?
The file to be processed has hexadecimal separators:
Field Delimiter : '09' or '05'
End of record delimiter: '0A' or '25'
End of Table delimiter : '07' or '2F'
Initially i would like to read the file into XI as it is i.e without any split by using "xml.fieldFixedLengths= "
However, everytime I process the file(with hexadecimal contol characters), I have noticed that my file is getting split, even when I did not specify anything for field separator(i.e when i used fixed field length).
Thanks,
Dorai

Receiver File Adapter - Empty document found error

Hi,
I have a slight issue that I do not understand.
For example, I have a file that is 256 bytes in size and definitely has some content. However, when the file adapter processes the file it says in the log "Empty document found" - but I can see the file has content.
Any ideas ? I am using using XI 3.0 SP19.
Cheers
Colin.

hi colin,
i will agree with u,
may be the XI can not understand your test data,
can u tell me the language of test data.
In file adapter go to encoding select TEXT and UTF-8.
may be this will works.

sandeep.

File Adapter - anonymous login (or )User name ,password login - Efficient?

Hi Folks,
In File Adapter processing , anonymous login (or) proper user name password based login is recommended ?
Because we have faced many issue while using username based login in File adapter .
Which one is best ?
Regards.,
Shiva

Hi Shiva ,
We will go one by one :
You can go for the Anonymous login but the problem is the any body can access the FTP server and it is not the secure one,that is why business generally don't allow the Anonymous login.
Coming to Proper user name password login ,I would advice you to use this one as the connection is more secure in this case.But this also comes with a problem that the username password generally expires after some time as per security policy and you have to change the username password for the FTP server as well as in File adapter which you are using.But this problem can be solved by going for a permanent username and password.
I would recommend you to go for Proper user name and password.

Repeating structure through the receiver file adapter

I wanted to ask wheter it is possible to create repeating structure through the SAP xi receiver file adapter. What I'm trying to accomplish is this:
Item1
Item2
Item1
Item2
(variable number of times).
I can accomplish the following:
Item1
Item1
Item2
Item2
What I could do is have the Item1 and Item2 fields in the same segment in the design time, but this would mean the file adapter would write all the items on a single line instead of two.
There is no way to define line breaks between the the receiver file adapter field parameters ?
There is no way to support nested structures in the recordset definition ie. Item1.Item2 ?

Henri,
What Vishal means is following:
Add sequences of the tag <recordset> between pairs of item1, item2:
<documentName>
 <recordset>
 <item1>
 <field-item1>column-value</field-item1>
 <field-item1>column-value</field-item1>
 <field-item1>column-value</field-item1>
 </item1>
 <item2>
 <field-item2>column-value</field-item2>
 <field-item2>column-value</field-item2>
 <field-item2>column-value</field-item2>
 </item2>
 </recordset>
 <recordset>
 <item1>
 <field-item1>column-value</field-item1>
 <field-item1>column-value</field-item1>
 <field-item1>column-value</field-item1>
 </item1>
 <item2>
 <field-item2>column-value</field-item2>
 <field-item2>column-value</field-item2>
 <field-item2>column-value</field-item2>
 </item2>
 </recordset>
</documentName>

Mainframe Integration using File Adapter (FTP Mode):: ftp commands

Hi,
We are trying to integrate with Mainframe system using File Adapter. (FTP mode). We are able to write the file to Mainframe system but not able to format it properly. We had to provide FTP parameter, ftp.quote site recfm=fb lrecl=150
As per SAP Note 801926 :: XI 3.0 File Adapter: Additional Parameters, the only parameter that can be used is ftp.timeout. Has anyone tried out using other FTP parameters? (like ftp.quote)
Any help is grealy appreciated.

"Note that for the File Adapter transport protocol "FTP", the operating system command is NOT executed on the FTP server, but on the server hosting the Adapter Engine."

Hi Ramesh,
Are you sure the XI port is 8080 instead of 8000 (check it in xi config)?
Since you are sending a file to XI, the sender system is the business system name defined in SLD for your file adapter, not the XI name (XD1).
Hope this helps.

File adapter - Unexpected exception running file2xmbprocessor

Hallo,
I've a fileadapter running and a couple of time the adapter is running fine.
After a while I get the following exception:
Unexpected exception running file2xmbprocessor
java.util.NoSuchElementException
at java.util.TreeMap$EntryIterator.nextEntry(TreeMap.java:1024)

at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:534)
File adapter processing stopped
I have no idea whats wrong.
Any idea
Thanks harald

Hi Prasad,
sorry - but I can't understand what you mean.
The file-adapter I'm talking about runs on a fileserver. This adapter read the files and send them to the XI-System where a java-mapping is running.
Therefore I can't believe that the problem is the mapping.
The way I see it is that the error must be in a part of the file-read-process because the exception says
[fileprocessor] Error: Unexpected exception running file2xmbprocessor
java.util.NoSuchElementException
at java.util.TreeMap$EntryIterator.nextEntry 
Could you please explain what you mean.
Thanks and best regards
Harald
