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.

Issue on file sender adapter communication channel

Hi All,
I have an issue on some of the file sender adapter communication channels .The channels are failing with the error :
(u201CAttempt to process file failed with com.sap.engine.interfaces.messaging.api.exception.MessagingException: com.sap.xi.swift.ParserException: com.sap.xi.swift.ParserException: Message does not start with character '0x1f'u201D).
Please let me know the procedure to get this message processed.
Thanks & Rgards

Hi Vishu,
Find out in what encoding the file is in. for that download Notepad++ and open the file with in.
In Encoding tab you will see the encoding format.
1. If its not UTF-8 or ANSI then you should set the correct encoding in Sender File channel.
2. Check for BOM characters which will not be visible directoly.
3. Use Notepad++ to convert the content to HEX and check for hidden values. i bet there will be some Encoding BOM in the file which is creating problem while picking the file.
Since you are using SWIFT module: try to validate the XML file using Altova XML and check weather is correct.

Sender file comm channel shows error status when no file is in source

Hello,
I have this sender file communication channel which is picking up files using ftp. Its working fine but if there is no file in the source directory during polling, it shows an error status in communication channel monitor. The error message is that directory/file does not exist and also * in file name is invalid character.
I have the same settings on our dev, QA and prod system but this strange thing is happening only on the dev and prod. Its not happening on QA whereas QA access the same directory as dev.
Any idea ???

Hi,
The error is strange one.
I suggest you to check Visual Admin to findout the exact trace/log file.
May be because of some connection problems etc..
Just go thru this SAP Note about File Adapter- 821267

Sender File Comm Channel Fails after system refresh

Hi,
we did a system refresh of our PI system and since then the sender file communication channels donot work with the following exception:
Error: com.sap.aii.af.ra.ms.api.ConfigException: Some of the IS access information is not available. SLDAcess property may be set to true, but SLD is not available.
I have seen many threads in this forum related to this issue but couldn't find a proper solution.
Any help is very much appreciated.
Thanks
MLS

You may do the following:
1. Perform SLDCHECK on XI.
2. Check if XIAFUSER is not locked or its password has been changed recently.
3. Goto SLD-> Business sytems-> Integration server, check Pipeline URL. It should be
http://hostname:8000/sap/xi/engine?type=entry

Sender File Communication Channel Configuration

Hi guys,
We are trying to develop a file-to-Idoc scenario and we are facing some problems in the configuration of the sender file communication channel as far as the file format is concerned. The file, which is a material master file has the following structure:
00.00 FileHeader
30.00 Material n° 1
30.01 Material n° 1
30.00 Material n° 2
30.01 Material n° 2
30.00 Material n° n
30.01 Material n° n
99.00 FileFooter
Initially, I developed 4 datatypes, FileHeader, Record1, Record2 and FileFooter, and 1 datatype to incorporate all of these, but I faced trouble in 'Recordset Structure' attribute in communication channel, where "FileHeader,1,Record1,,Record2,,FileFooter,1" did not work.
After that I thought of creating one more datatype, called Record, with 0..* cardinality, that incorporates Record1 and Record2 with 1 cardinality.
Although I have declared them correctly as "FileHeader,1,Record,*,FileFooter,1" in 'Recordset Structure', I face trouble in the table with the attributes. What shall I use: I have Record1.fieldNames and Record2.fieldNames and fieldFixedLengths, but XI requires Record...
What you suggest?
Evaggelos

Hi,
I understand your problem....
I actually didn't look at the key fields...properly..
You have said that when you had tried taking Record1 and Record2 in your structure you had problems...
I think the second way which you are trying would not work..!
Can you try this..I am not sure if it will work..
Have your structure as
MT
+Record
++Header
++Record1
++Record2
++Trailer
So your Recordset name would be :Record
RecordsetStructure would be Header,1,Record1,,Record2,,Trailer,1
and then all the other parameters like fieldNames,fixedFieldLength,keyFieldValue...for Header,Record1,Record2,Trailer
U might just try out with this

More than one sender with only one comunication channel

Hi experts.
I need to know that it is possible to make a one File FTP sender comunication channel with more than one host.
If that is not possible, how could get that functionality?
Thanks!
Regards.

Hi Alvaro,
It is not a bad idea to do a report to search in the two locations, make a job for polling and later the report call via http or SOAP to PI itself (if you need to do any map or you need file content conversion) or not to use in PI scenario (neither http or SOAP call) if you only need to move files. I only see the next disadventages:
1. It is not a standard solution. This could be problematic in a SP uppgrade or PI version change.
2. If one day your client thinks to migrate to the PI java-only version, you would need to do again this scenario.
3. If you haven't any scenario in PI or a good documentation system, this interface can be forgotten for you or by future PI technician.
4. You lose the powerful of the monitoring tools.
Hope this helps.
Regards.

ORA-03113 end-of-file on channel communication

Hello at everyone:
I have a laptop pentium 133 MMX, 40 MB Ram, 2.1 GB.
I have been installed slackware 3.5, kernel 2.0.36, on it and
oracle 8 too.
I run svrmgrl, connect internal, everithing go well, but when
write the command "startup nomount" <ENTER>, oracle begin to work
and 2 seconds after, more or less, appear the message of the
subject.
I found the possibly means of this:
ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel
Cause: An unexpected end-of-file was processed on the
communication channel. The problem could not be handled by the
Net8, two task, software. This message could occur if the shadow
two-task process associated with a Net8 connect has terminated
abnormally, or if there is a physical failure of the interprocess
communication vehicle, that is, the network or server machine
went down.
Action: If this message occurs during a connection attempt, check
the setup files for the appropriate Net8 driver and confirm Net8
software is correctly installed on the server. If the message
occurs after a connection is well established, and the error is
not due to a physical failure, check if a trace file was
generated on the server at failure time. Existence of a trace
file may suggest an Oracle internal error that requires the
assistance of customer support.
------------------------------------------<^
This possibility, above |, i guess that not apply, because, i
work in any network, everything is local.
------------------------------------------<ORA-3113: end of file communication channel
Cause: An unexpected end-of-file was processed on the
communication channel. The TCP/IP retransmission count on Win
NT/95 has a default value of 5. This means that the send side
retransmits the packet five times or until it gets an
acknowledgment. The timeout for each retransmission is two times
the timeout for the previous retransmission (exponential
backoff). With the default value of 5, the send side retransmits
5 times (approximately. 15 seconds) and if it does not get an
acknowledgment. it assumes that the other side is down and closes
the connection. If the link goes down for a minute or two the
Net8 client receives this error.
Action: Modify the retransmission count.
Please see your Microsoft specific operating system manual for
more information on tuning the microsoft TCP/IP software.
----------------------------------------------<I got it from Oracle 8 documentation for W95/NT. I guess that it
is a good posibility. But how can to modify the retransmission
count under Linux?

Error in file receiver channel "Unknown payload format 0 in the message"

hello
there is an errror in my receiver file channel with the status "Unknown payload format "
my channel is file receiver channel.
we implemented one sap note 1295430 and after that channnel is giving the error.
Please forward your views.
thanks.

Hi there,
First of all, what TBDL means - It means that the message was successfully delivered from Integration Server and that the messages are handed over to the Messaging System.
TBDL occurs when the message is put into the receiving queue of the Messaging System.
What can be done?
Go to Messaging System receive servlet:
http://<Host>:<PORT>/MessagingSystem/receive/<CONNECTION>/<PROTOCOL>
If this was executed successfully, then the MS returns HTTP 200 to the Integration Server and the status TBDL moves to DELIVERING (check whether you have authorization to go to the above link).
--> Log-in to SAP using - XIAPPLUSER & XIAFUSER, and check if they are blocked
--> Check the messages:

Wildcarrd character in file communication channel ( Run OS Command Option )

We have problem while executing the "move ( MV ) " command with wildcard character ( '*' ) in file communication channel (Run Operating System command option ). Command is not executing properly.
e.g. mv /archive/test* /output/
have anyone experienced the same problem ?
Thanks & Regards,
Dijesh Tanna.

As far as i know, that doesnt work.
In Unix environment, the below code will work
name=`test*`
target=`xxxfolder`
file_list=`find $name -type f`
for fname in $file_list ; do
echo "Moving: " $fname
mv -Eignore $fname $target
done

Problem with File adapter channel

Hi All,
I am using a File Adapter channel to process files from FTP server(which is in UNIX environment). I am polling the files from a unix folder (which has this format as -rw-rr). Now I want to know what are the basic permisions should the file have in order to process the file by anyone.
Hope you got the information..
Regards,
Achari

You would need to understand the permission schema.
-rw-rr
- : tells this is file
rw- : tells the owner permission,
r-- : tells the user group permission
r-- tells any other user permission.
so if you are using mode delete/archive mode then the file shoud have execute permission for that owner.
If you are using the same user(i.e. owner that write the file in FTP) to connect FTP from PI then the permission required is
-rwxrr
If you connecting to FTP from PI with a User that is of the same group of the owner then the file permission should be
-rrwxr
If you are using any other to connect to FTP then the file permission should be
-rrrwx
note : rwx or --x is same read/write is included in execute mode along with delete & modify mode.

Is it possible to send the TV channel feed by using live encoder??

Hi all,
I am planning to stream one of my favorite TV channel on my web.I got permissions too to stream on my page,but whats my doubt is..
1)How to send feed to my server from TV channel by using live encoder?
2)I think third party tool should be use for converting the TV signals into digital is it right??
Please give me proper inputs or procedure for streaming TV channel into webcasting
As iam very new to this concept plz excuse me if any thing sounds wrong.......
Thanks in Advance
Plz help me out..

Hi guys,
First of all sorry for very late reply,
Finally i am able to send the TV channel signals by using live encoder. It works good with small problems .
problems:
1) In player after connect to server the screen( channel screen) is not exactly showing that means bottom 1/4 portion is cut off. Is there any setting to avoid this problem??
2) After connect to server, on client machine the video is not running smoothly,it breaks upto 2 sec then skip that portion and then continue...it is continuing like this for every 5min
3) On FMLE the input and output panel showing with high color quality but once it send to server(even local server also) on web casting it delivers very poor quality
is there any setting to solve this problem?
4)Last question (but not final one) i played all these games on my local machine (with static IP) for testing purpose, i planning to take dedicated server in order to webcast my client channel for public. Please give me some suggestions which one i can prefer in the sense bandwidth,speed,RAM..etc so that i can make my client satisfy by avoiding all problems mentioned above..
Waiting for your reply
Thanks in advance
