File Encoding in FTP

When I upload files using Fetch I can choose the encoding - this means my non-standard characters in file names are preserved. When I upload in Dreamweaver this is lost and the files are useless.
I can't find anything similar in Dreamweaver - does it exist or should I just use Fetch to FTP?
Please not this has NOTHING to do with the contents of the file, just the file name.

  • File encoding in sender file comunication channel

    hello everyboy,
    i have a strange situation.
    2 PI 7.0 installation: develop and production. Identical. Same SP level, java vm, etc etc
    I have a interface file to idoc.
    File sender comunication channel are FTP and with content conversion.
    They are identical!!!!!!
    but....
    in production i added parameter File Encoding = ISO-8859-1 because if i have presence of strange characters....it work better.
    the same files...in develop installation, they work without this parameter.
    why?
    there are a place maybe in Config Tool or j2ee admin tool where is set this parameter?
    thanks in advance

    Hi,
    Make sure your both the systems are unicode so that you will not have any issues. Also please see this document for how to work with character encodings in PI. Also we dont have any special config in j2ee admin tool.

  • Unable to read PDF files created by FTP Adapter

    Hi,
    I am unable to read pdf files generated by FTP Adapter with its default settings.
    Can anybody guide me how to proceed with it. I guess I need to change something in encoding mechanism in FTP Adapter Outbound Connection Pool, but not sure what has to be.
    Thanks,
    Richa

    Hi all,
    I have got its solution. I was unable to read .pdf files because FTP adapter  was sending the files just by changing the extension from .txt /.xml to .pdf that is the reason that it was not readable.
    We had to write an java code to convert .xml file to .pdf file and then paas it to FTP ADapter.
    Thanks

  • Reading Files from an FTP location based on Timestamp

    Hi,
    I have a requirement of reading files from an FTP location. The files should be read in the order they were saved in the folder. Can someone tell me how to solve this?
    Thanks,
    Ravi

    Hi Arik,
    Thanks for your reply. I tried doing what u said, but it isn't working. My requirement is to List the files in the folder using FTP adapter and get the file name with the least file stamp from the FTP adapter and pass the FileName dynamically to another FTP adapter which reads the file based on the FileName. When i tested after including the property (for listing the files) you mentioned, it is giving the following error (copied from flow trace):

  • Help Fetching files from an FTP server into a DBase or local folder

    Hello Gurus!
    I need help to automate or design/write an app capable of (replace a manual process) reading log files in an ftp server folder, this log files are called CDR (Call Detail Record) and named as follow cdr.txt.20020221010000 meaning that this log file was created on 2002/02/21 at 01:00:00.
    This CDR log files are generated every hour by a Lucent telephone switch using a software/program called EXS ExchangePlus in ASCII format (fixed length delaminated, Char data type). EXS ExchangePlus writes a record in this CDR/log files after the call is completed, i.e. Calling_Number, Called_Number, Date_connect (yyyymmdd), Time_connect (hhmmss), Charged_time (hhmmss, duration of the call), and so on.
    The manual process I am using now is:
    1. Log in the ftp server into the folder where the CDRs log files are, located the latest generated CDRs log files and downloaded them into a local folder/directory. Normally I download the CDR for full day or 24 CDRs log files.
    1a. Optionally sometimes I used a program called VEdit compiled/gather all 24 CDRs into a single file.
    2. Once I have downloaded the CDRs I want to process (normally I process a full day 24 CDRs) I imported then into a Data Base temp table, where then I do the conversion of data types (i.e. Dates and times fields from char type -> to ->Date type) and calculations for billing purposes.
    So if somebody can help with this, I would really appreciated ideas or any kind of information on how to automated this process.
    I�m familiar with Java2 platform (using JDeveloper ) so if somebody has done something like this before using java, this would very helpful. Or Maybe using Visual Basic 6.0 would help too.
    Thanks Gurus, and I look forward to hear from you soon!
    Alf Pathros!

    Thanks for the idea, even though an example would help me more.
    I already found the FTPClient class.
    I also would like to knwo if there is a away Ican append/merged various files CDRs into a single/one to then dump/import it into the database

    Hi again,
    I've had some success with using Firefox, just make sure your using the right ftp address, try different ways of entering address, if you do, a dialog box will ask for your username and password or maybe just the pasword, I am assuming you haven't gotten this far...
    If you have no luck connecting to your site via browser try Captain FTP, free to download and try, but disabled after 15days or so, unless you buy it ($25 USD) *make sure you download right version for your OS*... I use it on the Mac and use WSFTP on the PC, almost the same. If you've never used an FTP app, it will take a little homework on your part, but just a little... hope this helps, good luck, Rick

    Hi,
    thats SP1 for DS XI 3.2
    I think there is no delta from XI 3.2 to XO 3.2 SP1 what means you have to do a fresh install and upgrade repo.
    But you better doublecheck before but i think there is no delta.

  • Extract .xls file from an FTP site

    Hi everyone,
    Can anyone assist with this, I'm trying to extract an .xls file from a FTP site. The system I'm currently working on has no SAP application installed, we are using Microsoft SQL server as the target database and there is an FTP site which contains the .xls/.csv files and Data services as a ETL tool.  The error I'm getting is  'FTP could not transfer file </DI_TEST/DATA_TO_IMPORT_1.xls> from host <www.servername.com>: <T>. Please ensure that the FTP relative path for the SAP server working directory is set correctly such that the data file is accessible to the FTP program. Also, ensure that the target path, where the transferred file is written to, is correct.'
    Do I need to have SAP installed to use this functionality?
    Currently to make this work, I wrote a .CMD file to do the GET ftp code and I then call this with a DI script and it works perfectly. Isn't there a way I can do this independant of the .CMD?
    I'm sorry for bring this up again, I know I had a similar thread before. The reason why I closed it is that I did it using .CMD, I would prefer if I can do it with DI without using .CMD.
    Thank all for your help.

  • File encoding cp1252 problem

    Hi there,
    I have a problem concerning the file encoding in a web application.
    I'll sketch the problem for you.
    I'm working on adjustments and bug fixes of an e-mail archive at the company i work for. With this archive, users can search e-mails using a Struts 1.0 / JSP web application, read them, and send them back to their mail inbox.
    Recently a bug has appeared, concerning character sets.
    We have mails with french characters or other uncommon characters in it.
    Like the following mail:
    Subject: Test E-mail archief co�rdinatie Els
    Content: Test co�rdinatie r�d�marrage ... test weird characters � � �
    In the web application itself, everything is fine...but when i send this mail back to my inbox, the subject gets all messed up:
    =?ANSI_X3.4-1968?Q?EMAILARCHIVE_*20060419007419*_Tes?=
    =?ANSI_X3.4-1968?Q?t_E-maill_archief_co=3Frdinatie_Els?=
    The content appears to be fine.
    We discovered this problem recently, and a lot of effort and searching has been done to solve it.
    Our solution was to put the following line in catalina.sh , with what our Tomcat 4.1 webserver starts.
    CATALINA_OPTS="-server -Dfile.encoding=cp1252"
    On my Local Win2K computer, the encoding didn't pose a problem, so catalina.sh wasn't changed. It was only a problem (during testing) on our Linux test server ... a VMWare server which is a copy of our production environment.
    On the VMWare, i added the line to the catalina.sh file. And it worked fine.
    Problem Solved !
    Yesterday, we were putting the archive in production. On our production server ... BANG --> NullPointerException.
    We thought it has something to do with jars he couldn't find, older jars, cache of tomcat ... but none of this solved the problem.
    We put the old version back into production, but the same NullPointerException occured.
    We then put the "CATALINA_OPTS="-server -Dfile.encoding=cp1252" " line in comment ... and then it worked again.
    We put the new version into production (without the file encoding line), and it worked perfectly, except for those weird ANSI characters.
    Anyone have any experience with this?
    I use that same file encoding to start a batch, but there i call it Cp1252 (with a capital C) ... might that be the problem? But i have to be sure...because the problem doesn't occur in the test environment, and i can't just test in production ... and switch off the server whenever i'd like to.
    Does anyone see if making cp1252 --> Cp1252 might be a solution, or does anyone have another solution?
    Thanks in advance.

    First, I will start by saying that JInitiator was not intended to run on Win7, especially 64bit. So, it may be time to think about moving to the Java Plugin. Preferably one which is certified with your Forms version.
    To your issue, I suspect you need to change the "Region and Language" settings on the client machine. This can be found on the Control Panel. If that doesn't help, take a look at this:

  • How to use a key file in the FTP Task using and SSL connection

    In the past I have used this code to set the FTP pass word in an FTP component task in SSIS.
    Does anyone know how to use a Key file in an SSL connection to download a file from an FTP site?  If not can you tell me where I can get the C# code examples to learn how to create a script task or if there is another way in SSIS to download large files
    from an SSL FTP site?  Thank you for any help offered.
    public void Main()
    ConnectionManager FTPConn;
    FTPConn = Dts.Connections["FTPServer"];
    FTPConn.Properties["ServerPassword"].SetValue(FTPConn, Dts.Variables["FTPPassword"].Value);
    Dts.TaskResult = (int)ScriptResults.Success;
    Antonio

    You can use SFTP for this.
    This is a way of implementing SFTP in SSIS using standard tasks

    i want to read a file which in ziped and this zip file is at ftp site. and i want to read this file without downloading this zip file to local machine. i have to read it from ftp location only

    You can open an URLConnection to a file on an FTP server (search this forum to find out how). You can get the InputStream from the URLConnection and feed it to ZipInputStream. That should do the job.

  • Polling of the current file from multiple files in the FTP Server

    Hello Experts
    I am working on a file to file scenario.We have to poll the file from the FTP server which may contain multiple files with different creation dates.The requirement is to poll only the file created in the current date.Could anyone throw some light on this.
    Thanks & Regards
    Sabyasachi

    Hi Sabyasachi,
        You can archive the files that you do not need into another folder manually for the first time.
    Later you can schedule the file adapter to poll the folder only once in a day (Poll INterval = 86400 secs)
    Do not forget to set the option to archive/delete the file that are already processed.

  • Sending XML file from SAP to Windows Based file server with FTP function

    Hi Gurus,
    We are using SAP BW 3.0B version.
    I need to convert data in ODS to XML format and send this XML file to remote server which  is not a SAP application server, it is just a Window Based file server with FTP function..
    By writing some ABAP code I have converted ODS data into XML format (which gets saved in my local system)
    (Is that I need to put this file in Application Server to send it to the other servers? )
    Now the thing is how I can send this file to that Windows Based file server.
    plz suggest me.... what can be done......
    Thanks in Advance

    I dont think the above code support windows OS. Because I always execute this script via UNIX.
    I think you can try this option, go to command prompt, goto the destination path where you have an XML file using cd....
    ftp (destination servername), specify the username and password.
    afterthat, use the command put and filename.
    check whether the file had reached destination successfully or not.
    For automation purpose, you can use the following script like
    ftp: -s: test.txt  (servername)
    In test.txt,
    UserName
    Password
    bin
    cd /files
    put file.xml
    bye
    Also, you can check in SM69, there will be some SAP external commands to automate the file transfer.
