File.ftp.FTPEx: 501 Unexpected reply codeUnknown extension in database file name

Hi Folks,
I am trying to place file in the iSeries library folder and for this I am using a receiver file adapter with the following config, FYI, I am not using any FCC
Target Directory : /QSYS.LIB/XXXXX.LIB/
File Name Scheme : FILENAME.FILE
As I am doing this config for the first time I am using the following SCN discussion as my reference,
File FTP to AS400 Library folder | SCN
but i am still getting the error message at the receiver channel as below
Message processing failed. Cause: com.sap.engine.interfaces.messaging.api.exception.MessagingException: An error occurred while connecting to the FTP server 'XXXXXX:21'. The FTP server returned the following error message: 'com.sap.aii.adapter.file.ftp.FTPEx: 501 Unexpected reply codeUnknown extension in database file name.'. For details, contact your FTP server vendor.
Please let me know if anyone has anymore suggestions.

Hi Kalyan,
The File Name extension that you configured is incorrect I think. Can you try to change the extension to .txt and try once.
File Name Scheme : FILENAME.FILE
Thanks,
Satish.

We are having same issue with the FTPS in our SAP PI systems.
21 is the default port for FTP(S).....but you should check with the basis/ network team which port is enabled for FTPS.
Also the ip-address of the target server should be the same as used when uploading the cert

FTP Error - 550 Unexpected reply code

Hi Guys,
I am encountering the following error in my QA Environment.
Error Attempt to process file failed with com.sap.aii.adapter.file.ftp.FTPEx: 550 Unexpected reply codeThe filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.
In my receiver FTP channel, I have set the 'Temporary File Name Scheme' as '*.tmp'. I have the same setup in my Dev environment but no issue is encountered.
When I tried to removed it, the error is not occurring.
What do you think could be the issue?
Also, what should be the File Type if the temp file name scheme is *.tmp? Binary or Text?
Message Flow: IDOC -> File
Thanks and Regards,
Neil

A file name should not contain "* "
when you define the tempfilename scheme as "*.tmp" , PI is trying to create the file as *<timestamp>.tmp to place the file on FTP which is not allowed.
refer : Configuring the Receiver File Adapter - Configuring the File/FTP Adapter in Integration Directory/PCK - SAP Library
>>>Also, what should be the File Type if the temp file name scheme is *.tmp? Binary or Text?
It can be anything.

'com.sap.aii.adapter.file.ftp.FTPEx: 501 Unknown error

Hello ,
I am facing an error in communication channel while trying to post the file to the FTP server,
The error is " Message processing failed. Cause: com.sap.engine.interfaces.messaging.api.exception.MessagingException: An error occurred while connecting to the FTP server '10.100.5.00:20'. The FTP server returned the following error message: 'com.sap.aii.adapter.file.ftp.FTPEx: 501 Unknown error'. For details, contact your FTP server vendor"
Please could you advice what need to be done to resolve this.
Thanks ,

Hi ,
FTP 501 Error is: "Syntax error in parameters or arguments"
Also, i see that the ftp address and port mentioned in your case is:
10.100.5.00:20
Hence, i see three probable issues here.
1. FTP Port :
Just check if the FTP server's port number '20' mentioned in your case is open as this is the data connection port. Moreover, the default port mentioned while creating a file channel is 21. Just check about the port number '20' with the FTP server administrator if this port number is opened and functioning.
2. FTP server address:
Also, try giving your FTP Server's address as 10.100.5.0
3. Also, check if the FTP server is reachable from the PI Server by using a simple ping command.

this seems to be something to do with your firewall... you can have your network team involved so that the can work a solution.

Could not process due to error: com.sap.aii.adapter.file.ftp.FTPEx: 550

Hi Experts,
We have many File to EDI scenarios wherein XI System pick up the XML and sent to customers via EDI. Recently we faced a problem so created a Back-up System (Production copy) and tested successfully. After sometime the messages were routed to this back-up system and when we notice it and then stopped the back-up system. All the messages that were routed to back-up system, we try to send the same messages from the actually Production system to our customers. Now the problem is XI system (Production system) is unable to pick these files and I check the communication monitoring and encountered the below error message.
Could not process due to error: com.sap.aii.adapter.file.ftp.FTPEx: 550.550
Can anyone let me know how to fix the issue or what needs to be done?
Your help is highly appreciated.
Regards
Faisal

Hi,
It seems to be problem with permission of files. Please ask your basis to do following:
1. Set the permissions to FTP User you are using as 777 rights(full access to read , write and delete)
2.If you have access to PI server, try to telnet /connect to ftp using command prompt (open ftp .....) the FTP server form there, you should see the same error there , inform this to your network guys.
3.Clear all the files places already in the ftp (take backup) and test afresh after permissions are set by basis team.

Com.sap.aii.adapter.file.ftp.FTPEx: 550

Hi,
I have the below error in my sender file channel. I also read the following thread
FTP Error
Error:
An error occurred while connecting to the FTP server '10.12.12.101:21'. The FTP server returned the following error message: 'com.sap.aii.adapter.file.ftp.FTPEx: 550 C:Inetpubftproot: The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect. '. For details, contact your FTP server vendor.
The above thread suggests me to change the setting in the IIS. Should do that settings in the PI server or the source FTP server.
Also does anybody have any other solution to this problem.
Rgds,
Mithun

HI,
If you're using an FTP server you need to know the path to the file on the FTP.
To do this I suggest to connect to the FTP using Internet Explorer and navigating the FTP folders until reaching the right one.
Then on the url bar you should got something like this: "ftp://server:21/path/to/file/". Use "/path/to/file" as value for the file adapter configuration.
Please refer below blogs:

Com.sap.aii.adapter.file.ftp.FTPEx: 421

Hi Guys,
I am getting these two error messages:
1) com.sap.aii.adapter.file.ftp.FTPEx: 421 Maximum session time exceeded - closing
2) com.sap.aii.adapter.file.ftp.FTPEx: 421 Too many users - please try again later
when XI Sender File Adapter tries to pick the files from the FTP server.
I have not set any limit to the number of session for the user that I have mantianied in the adapter. (Niether I know it -:) how to set.)
Any idea or help, how to resove this error.
Thanks in adavance,
Namadev

Hi Namdev,
Your this error is coming as your FTP server maximum allowed connection is reached. so as the solution I would suggest to change the Connection mode property of your communication channel as Per File Transfer as default property is Permanently which reserves connection forever.
So other communication channels cannot communicate. Make this changes to all the communication channel you have configured.
And your problem is solved.
enjoy....
Thanks & Regards,

Kumar,
Write UDF with no input parameters.
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container
 .getTransformationParameters()
 .get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create(
 http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File,

String fname = conf.get(key);
StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer(fname,".");
String[] name = new String[2];
while(st.hasMoreElements())
for(int i=0;i<1;i++)
name[i]=st.nextElement();
String finalname = name[0]+".csv";
conf.put(key,finalname);

UDF -

Make sure that u checked the Adapter specific message attributes in both comm.channel.

How to get file name on the base of extension

hi
reply me
how to get the filename on the base of extension from the
current directory......
for example
i create file with the "igg" extension and save in the folder
where the exe file of director save....
i want when exe run then exe file read filename of the
define( "igg" ) extension with out path just name of the file with
igg extension
tel me how
regards
farhana khan

Here's a solution that requires no xtras:
on GetFilesWithExtension(aFolderPath, aExtension)
-- INPUT: <aFolderPath> should be a valid string
folder path
-- <aExtension> may be a string file extension,
without the
-- dot. For example: "txt" or "igg"
-- OUTPUT: Returns an error symbol or a linear list of file
names
-- in the given folder. If an extension is given, only
-- files with the given extension will be listed. If not,
-- all files and folders will be listed.
vFileList = []
if not stringP(aFolderPath) then
return #stringPathExpected
end if
vIgnoreExtension = not stringP(aExtension)
vDelimiter = the itemDelimiter
the itemDelimiter = "."
n = 0
repeat while TRUE
n = n + 1
vFileName = getNthFileNameInFolder(aFolderPath, n)
if vFileName = "" then
exit repeat
end if
if vIgnoreExtension then
vFileList.append(vFileName)
else if the last item of vFileName = aExtension then
vFileList.append(vFileName)
end if
end repeat
the itemDelimiter = vDelimiter
return vFileList
end GetFilesWithExtension
You can also use
Buddy API's baFileList,
which allows you to do wildcard searching.
