File adapter query

Hi,
A custom XML document containing vendor information is picked from the file system by file adapter. The message is mapped to XML-IDOC format and then routed to the IDOC adapter
While generating the IDOC in the receiver system the IDOC goes in error status 56.
In this scenario is it not necessary to create partner profile and distribution model which i have not created.
Kindly suggest what could be the problem.
Regards
Monzy

Monzy,
You always need a IDoc partner profile (transaction WE20) to get IDoc in and out of SAP R/3. All the SAP XI IDOC adapter is doing to passing IDOC-XML data to SAP in metdata using an RFC function module (either INBOUND_IDOC_PROCESS, IDOC_INBOUND_ASYNCHRONOUS or IDOC_INBOUND_IN_QUEUE) or receiving the IDoc data and converting into IDoc-XML

File Adapter Query, when PI server restarts polling starts

Hi Experts,
I have one problem with File sender adapter if someone can suggest solution or easy way to handle situation.
I have a interface with 50 file adapters.
I am activating all file adapters with poling interval 24 Hours.
And I am activating all adapters after 10 minutes interval so that all should not run at same time.
So every thing is good.
But the problem is that whenever BASIS team restarts the SAP-PI server. All 50 file sender adapters get restart at same time (i.e. all poling starts at same time which I do not want because of file size of all files and dependency of one interface i/p on other file o/p).
So every time when server is getting re-started, I have to re-activate all 50 adapters by sitting for many hours after every 10 minute interval.
Can someone suggest any solution for above problem, or itu2019s not possible to control sender file adapter poling start when server starts instead of time when I activate it originally?
Regards

Hi Rohan,
As far as I know, it is not possible to schedule the adapter when the server gets restarted.
Lets see what experts say on the same.
Thanks,

Standard File adapter Query !!

HI Guys,
Does standard File adapter has got ability to pick a file based on required file name.
Ex: If we have 30 files in one folder, 6 file name are like xml_666778_001.xml, xml_666778_002.xml,xml_666779_001.xml, xml_666778_003.xml, xml_666779_002.xml, xml_666780_001.xml.
First I need to pick xml_666778_001.xml,xml_666778_002.xml,xml_666778_003.xml process it and keep with the same name like xml_666778.xml
Next I need to pick xml_666779_001.xml,xml_666779_002.xml process it and keep with xml_666779.xml etc.,
In this customer landscape, We have got 20 distribution centres. Each Distribution center sends more than 5 files a day. File name comes like xml_divisionnumber_001,xml_divisionnumber_002.xml etc. One division all files comes in one shot like ex:10:30:52. Sometimes we get 2 divisions with only one minute difference, but I need to pick only one division all fiels at a time, first I need to process all that one division files to bundle it(i developed this interface) and keep it on application server folder. I deleloped one more interface to pick this bundle message and split this message into ABAP proxy.
I am expecting your wonderful ideas please about this situation.
Thanks in advance
Kind Regards
San

Hi Udo,
I do agree and I have developed BPM messages merge. But my question is in 100 files I need to pick only 5 or 6 files with the file name like xml_00666787_001.xml like xml_00666787_005.xml and bundle it with as a target file with the name of xml_00666787.xml. In next process again I need to pick only 5 or 6 files with the file name like xml_00876778_001.xml like xml_xml_00876778_002.xml and bundle it with as a target file with the name of xml_00876778.xml etc I need to pick all that 100 files by 20 times like this.
Q. How can we take dynamic file name this in Sender side fileadapter to pick particular files??
Many Thanks
Kind Regards

Real time : File Adapter : query

Hi Folks,
At development time( file adapter) we test our scenario by creating a sample XML file using message mapping tool .
The type of message we get from this contains Message Type tag with namespace Attribute.
<ns0:MT_XYZ xmlns:ns0="urn:xyz">
My question is in do in real time we need to tell them that create message type with the anmespace attribute we are using ? and also how to suppress namespace and will it bring any complications in the process ?
Regards,

Santosh,
1. When using the File adapter and Content Conversion to read the file into XI, you can allocate a specific message namespace
2. If the namespace does becomes an issue for your scenario then use an additional mapping step to remove the namespace. For example we have the
Mesage Type MT_NAMES which has a a type of NAMES
Subelement NAMEREC (0 .. unbounded)
Subelements NAME1 and NAME2
Sample xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<ns1:MT_NAMES xmlns:ns1="http://namespace">
<NAMEREC>
<NAME1>AAA</NAME1>
<NAME2>BBB</NAME2>
</NAMEREC>
<NAMEREC>
<NAME1>CCC</NAME1>
<NAME2>DDD</NAME2>
</NAMEREC>
</ ns1:MT_NAMES>
Apply the XSL map
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:nsNN="http://namespace" >
 <xsl:template match="/">
 <xsl:for-each select="nsNN:MT_NAMES">
 <NAMES>
 <xsl:copy-of select="NAMEREC"/>
 </NAMES>
 </xsl:for-each>
 </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
The namespace has been removed from the xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<NAMES>
<NAMEREC>
<NAME1>AAA</NAME1>
<NAME2>BBB</NAME2>
</NAMEREC>
<NAMEREC>
<NAME1>CCC</NAME1>
<NAME2>DDD</NAME2>
</NAMEREC>
</NAMERS>

Query operation in file adapter

Dear All,
we have faced several issues in using polling for production env.
We have to ensure sequential nature of data, which means FIFO order of inserts
is there any alternative to using polling - Receive in file adapter ?
Can we use {query database adapter - invoke activity } in file adapter ?
Please let me know if any body as any leads.
Appreciate your response.
Regards
Arc

we cant use Invoke activity for Read functionality for File Adapter but there is another way to achive this we can use two recieve activities in one BPEL please find the Sample here $BPEL_HOME\samples\tutorials\109.CorrelationSets

Query regarding file content conversion using file adapter

Hi All
I have a question regarding file content conversion in file adapter.
I have a file coming in the following format.
AA,111,222,333
BB,444,555,666
CC,777,888,999
My incoming message structure has a hierarchy. The CC record is a structure part of BB record. BB record is a structure part of AA record. It is like this:
AA,111,222,333
<<BB,444,555,666>>
<<<<CC,777,888,999>>>>
After file content conversion, in the resulted xml, i am getting a flat hierarchy instead of nested hierarchy.
Is it possible to get a nested hierarchy as a result of file content conversion?
Please let me know
Thanks
Chandra

Hi Udo
According to your suggestion, I am trying to use mapping.
I am getting a flat file and i am reading it.
This is my source structure:
AA,11,22,33
BB,44,55,66
CC,77,88,99
This is my required targer structure:
AA,11,22,33
<<BB,44,55,66>>
<<<<CC,77,88,99>>>>
To explain this, BB record can have multiple records of CC records.
AA records can have multiple records of BB record.
I am using removecontext node function.
CC (Source) (removecontext)-> CC (target structure)
But here, when i rightclick on source CC field in the mapping editor, i cannot see any other context except root node. So, how can i proceed here??
Many Thanks
Chandra

File Adapter: need to include filename in content being written

I want to use the file adapter to write a file, using the filename convention to generate part of the name dynamically.
However, I need to include the filename used for the output file in the actual content too.
Any ideas if this can be done?
Thanks
Toby

At a customer we implemented the file adapter to create a file based on a specic name for appending:
<assign name="AssignStaticFilename">
<copy>
<from expression="'Output.csv'"/>
<to variable="gFileAdapterOutboundHeader" part="outboundHeader" query="/ns2:OutboundFileHeaderType/ns2:fileName"/>
</copy>
</assign>
In de FileAdapter WSDL we set:
<jca:operation
LogicalDirectory="OutputDirectory"
InteractionSpec="oracle.tip.adapter.file.outbound.FileInteractionSpec"
FileNamingConvention="%SEQ%"
NumberMessages="1"
OpaqueSchema="false"
Append="true" >
</jca:operation>
Does this help you, based on a given input to set the filename and this variable to put it into the file?

File name in file adapter

Hello Guys,
I need to get a message from RFC, map it in a way that I wouldn't need to do any file conversions in file adapter and send it to FTP. How could I set the file name in this case?
PS: the file name cannot be included in payload, while I don't want to do any conversations of that payload...
Many thanks for your answers,
Milan

Hi Milan,
Is your query related to sending the file name from the source xml document to the reciever file adapter. If so this can be achieved.
Pls. do the following.
1. in the mapping program that you are using populate the filename coming from the source into the target in any of the fileds.
2.Sender adapters can write adapter-specific attributes to the message header; these can then be evaluated at configuration time
3. To change the adapter-specific attributes of the message header by using message mappings, you access the required classes of the mapping API by using a mapping runtime constant.
To access the classes DynamicConfiguration and DynamicConfigurationKey by using the mapping runtime constant DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION, use the method getTransformationParameters() of the container object.
Create an simple user defined function in the mapping and use the following code.
Imports: com.sap.aii.mapping.api.*;
Parameter: String filename
Paramter: String filename;
filename = fileName + ".DAT";
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container
.getTransformationParameters()
.get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create( "http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File", "FileName");
conf.put(key, filename);
return filename;
You donot need to hard code the value of the filename in the file adapter for your interface.
In SXMB_MONI, when you see the pipeline services you would see that the value of the filename is populated in the message payload.

Hi Prabhat,
take a look at this weblog:
/people/jayakrishnan.nair/blog/2005/06/28/dynamic-file-namexslt-mapping-with-java-enhancement-using-xi-30-sp12-part-ii
you have to specify variable substitution
(in the file adapter)
and give the path to the store name (in the variable sustitution table)
you file name schema (from the file communication channel can look like this)
%storename%_date_masterdataname.xml

Sender File adapter Pooling interval & file Size issue

Hi ALL,
I have a file size of 400 MB to be picked to be the sender file adapter i am facing issue that the system is unable to even pick the file and place in the Q for Processing.
1)we have no mapping no content conversion ....only pick the file from one loaction and place it in 3 different locations with 3 different names ...can any one help me in solving this .. ? the best workable method to achive this .
2) this file is getting created once in a day .say 2 PM .so i can give the poll intravel to 24 hours ..but some times ..the file creation in server gets delayed ..but they cont wain for the next 24 hour to come for processing the file ..so my query is can we reduce the poll intravel for 2 PM till 3PM hour for some 3 times ..and once it reches 3PM it can poll as usual with a gap of 24 hour time ..
thanks
RK

Hi Rupash,
>>I have a file size of 400 MB to be picked to be the sender file adapter i am facing issue that the system is unable to even pick the file and place in the Q for Processing.
Never use File adapter for picking large file (maximum size which I have seen it to work successfully is 200 MB)
Instead go for Java proxies. Check this forum post for the discussion:
Java proxy to use XI as a file mover

Appending in file and supplying file name at run time using File Adapter

Can we use File Adapter to write in a file in append mode. i.e. a BPEL process opening a file appending some text and closing the file each time it called.
Another query is can we create the file at run time with the supplied file name?

In order to append to a file, we can use Append="true" in the interaction spec for the File/Ftp adapter.
<jca:operation
FileType="ascii"
PhysicalDirectory="/home/adapter/output"
FileNamingConvention="OutputFile.txt"
NumberMessages="1"
Append="true"
