File adapter stops pulling files from ftp

hi,
i defined a communication channel in this way:
adapter type:  File
Sender
transport protocol: FTP
message protocol: file content conversion
data connction: passive
connect mode: permanently
Quality of service: exacly once.
somtimes the channel stops working -  no indication in message monitioring or communication channel monitoring of any error.
the only way to get it to again and start pulling files again from ftp is to set it to inactive, save, activate, set it to active, save,
activate. somtimes this operation needs to be repeated more than once until it starts working again.
the only relevant note i found is: 999791
https://websmp130.sap-ag.de/sap(bD1oZSZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/sapnotes/index2.htm?numm=999791
but this note was already implemented on my system.
Does anyone know what could be the problem?
Thanks,
Tomer

Hi,
In communication channel monitoring, is it so happening that channel is working but it is not fetching any data?
If this is the case, that  means, your channel must be getting locked.
For this the solution we have implemented is, in advanced tab, we have mentioned the parameter as 'taskTimeout' and
have assigned the value of 300sec to it.
That means, aftr 300 sec, channel will be unlocked (if at all it is locked) and try to fetch the data again.
If this is not the case with you, then pls explain the issue in detail.
Regards,
Supriya.

  • Files from FTP server to Application server

    Hi All,
    I am new to SDN and SAP XI, can anyone tell me whether its possible to move the files (different strcuture files i.e. some are master data files and some are transaction data file) from FTP server to Application server with one interface. Actually the process is already established at clientsite for placing master data files like product, plant etc from FTP server to App server through FTP adapter. Now my requirement is to move transaction data file with completely different structure as master data to App server. If we place these trasaction data file in same folder/directory as master data files does SAP XI pick this file also. If not what are the steps I need to follow to achieve this. I know that if we create new configuration it will work but I question is does master data interface picks this transaction data file also.
    Right now our process for master data files is SAP XI picks the files and deletes the file from FTP server folder. The master data file names are plant_attr.csv, product_attr.csv etc and transcation data file name is salestrasactiondata.csv. I need to move these files to application server on daily bases.
    I appreciate your help .
    Regards
    Bob.

    Hello Bob,
    Yes it is possible.
    There can be two ways of doing it.
    1. N:1 mapping, BPM will require for this.
    N:1 Mapping refer this blog
    IDOCs (Multiple Types) Collection in BPM
    BpmPatterns CollectMerge
    part1  BPM with Patterns explained Part-1
    part2  BPM with Patterns explained Part-2
    Second option
    Create 3 scanarios in integration directory and correspondingly in integration repositoy create different data types, message types, mappings & interface mappings and then in each of scenario us different message interface and interface mapping.
    > I know that if we create new configuration it will work but I question is does master data interface picks this transaction data file also.
    >
    If you are using N:1 scenario then use *.csv in your sender adapter under file name parameter and then all the files will be picked up from same directory.
    If you are using second option (3 different scenarios) then also you can pick the different files from same directory. You will be having 3 sender adapters in this case, So, one for picking master data, and another for product data and the last one for transaction data.
    So, in case of master data use "plant_*.csv" as a file name and directory name.
    In case of product data, use "product_*.csv " as a file name and source directory will remain same.
    similarly do it for transaction data.
    So by this way all 3 sender adapters will perform their job to pick the different files from same source directory.

  • How to copy/send text file from FTPS to SAP ECC File Port

    Hi Frdns,
    I am working on one design, actually my requirement as follows
    I am receiving financial information document from Banks, which is in the form of BIA2 message format, it looks like text file. This information needs to be sending to SAP ECC system.
    I identified some approaches to full fill the requirement
    1)Using Conversion agent/or third party tools to convert BIA2 message in to XML, then using PI I will pick up the XML message, convert it in to IDoc.
    2)Without any conversion I will copy the same file (original BIA2 message) in to SAP ECC file port, in this case no conversion required, calling some program I will schedule it.
    I am looking forward t implement the second approach because it saves lot of money to my client.
    Now I am wondering using File adapter can i copy to SAP ECC File Port or I required ABAP proxy?
    What is the best approach to copy the BIA message text file from FTPS to SAP ECC File Port.??
    Regards,
    Raj

    Hi Raja,
    >>Now I am wondering using File adapter can i copy to SAP ECC File Port or I required ABAP proxy?
    Yes you can do this copy, the only restriction that can happen is the file size.. If you are sure that the fiel will be of few MB at the max then you can use the Configuration part alone and copy it to ECC folder. For doing this you need the following:
    1. Sender agreement (mention the sender interface as anything XYZ)
    2. Sender communication channel. Pick the file in binary mode
    3. Receiver determination (keep both the sender and receiver service as same)
    4. Interface Detemiantion (dont specify any mapping and keep the receiver interface name as XYZ)
    5. Create receiver agreement (with same service and interface)
    6. Use file adapter here

  • Peculiar behaviour in picking file from FTP in File-IDoc scenario

    Dear XI Expert,
    I have successfully completed configuration of FTP --> XI --> IDoc scenario. I have noticed a peculiar behaviour in picking the file from FTP. I placed a file on FTP and activated File Adapter with poll interval '60' secs and processing mode as 'Archive'. For the first time it has picked the file with expected behaviour and IDoc got posted to SAP successfully. But when I placed file for the second time and when refreshed the FTP directory, immediately file got archived without waiting for 60 secs. But in sxi_monitor I could not see any activity of processing this scenario. Surprise is that, file got archived in target directory. This goes on and on... without registering any activity of processing the message in Message monitoring.
    In adapter monitoring it shows the message as described below:
    <i>History:
    2006-05-09 22:57:25 : Processing started
    2006-05-09 22:57:25 : Error: Processing interrupted due to error: FTPEx: No such file
    2006-05-09 22:57:24 : Processing started
    2006-05-09 22:57:24 : Error: Processing interrupted due to error: FTPEx: No such file</i>
    For your information my SAP XI system is on SP16.
    Please find below the parameters of sender adapter:
    <i>Quality of service: Exactly once
    Poll interval: 60 secs
    Processing mode: Archive
    Connect Mode: Per File Transfer
    Transfer Mode: Binary</i>
    Can anybody help me out in resolving such a problem in this scenario?

    Hi Jayakrishnan,
    Thanks for your reply.
    Once again the same problem is noticed. i.e., for the first time when file adapter is activated the file got picked, activities were logged in monitoring and IDoc got posted to destination system. For the second time when file is placed, before 60 secs got completed the file is picked and archived in the target directory. No activities in monitoring are logged.
    I have tried it checking the message at adapter level, but it is showing 'No results' (even in the case of successful pick of the file for the first time, not even it is showing other file adapters).
    I was not able to understand where the problem could lie?

  • How to delete Archived files from FTP

    HI,
    I am looking to delete Archived files from FTP Server, Can anybody have idea about this.
    Thanks,
    Ram

    To be frank, deletion of archived files is really a manual activity and is never in reality done by an interface
    so you have two options;
    1. log into the archived folder and manually delete archived files
    2. run a script in your file adapter - this way everytime the interface is triggered the files will be deleted - but then y do this.. instead just dont archive any files at all

    Hi, if you really retrieve an excel file, you can not see the data in ABAP. You may see them in Excel. For this you may use
    CALL METHOD document->open_document_from_table
    of the interface i_oi_document_proxy for OLE objects. You can access the data with reference to the interface i_oi_spreadsheet.
    Please check [Desktop Office Integration (BC-CI)|http://help.sap.com/printdocu/core/Print46c/en/data/pdf/BCCIOFFI/BCCIOFFI.pdf] for details.
    But, who knows, perhaps you want "And Now For Something Completely Different".

    Yes I have done that. But In FTP Server I cannt read file, because no previliges. Only I need to copy file from FTP Server to local server then only I can read that file.
    I tried all options using FileConrol(getFiles(),read()).
    getFiles() - It wont copy the file, it give information about file.
    read() - I dont have previliges to read the file.
    Please tell me any other procedure would be there for getting file from FTPServer.

    If I remember correctly the activation type on the technical settings tab must be set to "start on application server" in transaction SM59 for the RFC destination for the FTP server.  This should allow the files to be transferred to/from the application server.
