File Sender Adapter configuration

All,
We need to pick up the files of following format ".dtx.dat" and ".gtx.dat" in the sender adapter.
we also need to exclude any file with the name in the format - ".err.dat" and ".exc.dat".
How can you configure a single communication channel for this? (All the files have the same source directory "/data/inbound"
Thanks.

Hi,
This link might help you!!

Need help to Configure FTPS connection for File Sender Adapter

Hi,
I want to Configure, FTPS connection (Secured Connection) for File Sender Adapter. Could anyone please guide me, what Information I require to configure. I just want to know what Information should I request the team inorder the configure FTPS so that it can be deployed properly.
I have checked with [SAP Help Link|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/EN/e3/94007075cae04f930cc4c034e411e1/content.htm] and while configuring the communication channel found that I need Keystore and the X.509 Certificate and Private Key. which needs to be deployed on the J2EE server by using the Visual Administrator.
Is there anything else, I need to configure.
Any help would be appreciated in this regard.
Thanks & Regards,
Varun.K

The basic things are Certificate/Keys which you already know. Usually it is enough for running a sceanrio.
However, if you have additional requirements, like FTPS for "Connection Security" for encryption, then you may need additional details like commands. Rest all settings are same as FTP.

In my Scenario i want to configure file sender Adapter.But in Parameters

In my Scenario i want to configure file sender Adapter.But in Parameters, for Adapter Engine Column It Shows blank,Integration Server will not appear for that column.Finally It Gives Error- Adapter Engine is not Defined.
What is the Reason for this...
Please Clarify ASAP...
Thanks..

Hi Chiru,
      It seems that you may have missed some steps while doing the configuration. After doing all the activities in SLD and IR and activating all the components created in IR it should work.
      Plz check that you have selected as Adapter Type as File and correct namepace in the next field. Transport Protocol as File System (NFS), Message Protocol as File and I hope after all these information you will get Integration Server in the Adapter Engine field.
    If the problem persists please revert back.

Get filename from file sender adapter

Hi Experts,
I have a question regarding the file/ftp adapter (sender).
I have a directory with xml and pdf files. for every xml file there is a pdf file with the same filename. for example:
file1.xml
file1.pdf
file2.xml
file2.pdf
file3.xml
file3.pdf
Now I want to read the xml file with the file sender adapter. afterwards I want to read the related pdf file. for example: If I read the file file1.xml afterwards I want to read the pdf file file1.pdf with the file sender adapter. For this it is nessessary to get the filename from the xml file so that I can read afterwards the pdf file. How can I realise it?
Thanks and best regards
Christopher

Hi srinivas,
thanks for your quick answer.
That the file adapter is not able to read pdf files is clear to me. In this case I only want to transport the pdf. that works fine. I tested it.
the problem is the following:
I have a xml file with the name "file1.xml". I read the xml file with the sender file/ftp adapter configured with filename "*.xml". Then I want to import the pdf file with the name "file1.pdf". Therefor I need the filename from the xml file.do you know what I mean? So XI has to know the filename of the xml to import the pdf with the same name ...

File sender adapter:FILE to IDOC without BPM, can't see in SXMB_MONI.

Hi all
I have a FILE - XI - IDOC Async scenario without BPM.
I configured FILE sender adapter and IDOC receiver adapter. I made a mapping to transfer file data to the structure of IDOC.
Now when i am trying to load the file using command prompt, i cud see nothing in the monitoring. Whereas if i go to the communication channel monitoring of runtime workbench, i saw that CC is polling correctly and was reading the file also.
And also wen i saw in the processed folder which i mentioned in the CC configuration for the ARCHIVE DIRECTORY, i saw that file got transferred to the folder also.
I don't understand why i cant see anything in the monitoring.
Could anybody help me to rectify the problem. Is there anything i m missing ?
Regards
Naina

Rajesh/Amar
TCode:: SXMB_ADM->Integration engine configuration->specific configuration->runtime
Trace_Level = 3 then you can get all MONI PIPELINE Steps also
I did this change but cudn't see anything in SXMB_MONI.
This is how i have configured my process:
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/XI/FiletoMultipleIDOCSplittingwithoutBPM
But instead of IDOC splitting i have simple FILE - XI -IDOC scenario.
I have configured everything exaclty the same way it is mentioned here. But for me the process is not visible at all.
I can't even see the first request message in the monitoring.
This is the message i can see in the communication channel monitoring:
2010-05-24 09:07:41 Success Channel CC_*: Entire file content converted to XML format
2010-05-24 09:07:41 Warning Channel CC_*: Empty document found. Proceed without sending message
2010-05-24 09:07:41 Success File "/xyz/ABC.txt" archived after processing
Is there any problem with the file and that could be the reason it cant convert the file to the request message MT_REQUEST and thus am not able to see anything in monitoring.
help me guys....this is a simple process and i m stuck...its frustrating

File sender adapter (FTP) - processing mode "Archive"

Hello all
We're polling files from an external FTP server. For this I created a scenario on XI according to this thread:
When setting processing mode to "Archive" in the file sender adapter (ftp) it polls the file, stores it to the archive directory I specified and then tries to delete the file on the FTP server side. This returns me an error because we're not allowed to delete the retrieved files on the FTP server!
Because of this error the file adapter stops further processing and does not poll all the other files.
How can I disable this deletion mechanism while keeping processing mode to "Archive"?!?!?
We do not want to use processing mode "Delete" or "Test" and we don't see other options to influence this behaviour.
Thanks for any guideance on this one in advance!
Kind regards,
Renaud

Hi Bhavesh
Sorry for the late answer. Unfortunately I can't ask the application system to provide file names containing a timestamp within. The files are provided by an external partner and are retrieved by several others as well.
In the meantime I managed to achieve this:
In repository I created dummy data types, message types and message interfaces. No mapping programs and interface mappings!
In configuration I created the necessary communication channels (1 ftp sender, 1 file receiver) and the required receiver and interface determinations as well as the sender and receiver agreements.
The result of this is:
I'm able to poll some specific files via ftp from remote host. The file names are file1.arj, file2.arj, file3.arj and file4.arj. All 4 files have the same SourceFileTimestamp (e.g. "20060727T053900Z").
I'm able to store those 4 files 1:1 in a target directory with the same file names. Until here I did NOT need to follow this blog: <a href="/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/11/10/xi-the-same-filename-from-a-sender-to-a-receiver-file-adapter--sp14: The same filename from a sender to a receiver file adapter - SP14</a>.
As of this blog it is possible to access adapter specific attributes and make them available in message mapping using user defined functions. This way I'm able to get the SourceFileTimestamp from the polled files and use it in a message mapping. This way I'm also able to use it in variable substitution on file receiver adapter (syntax = "payload:root,1,fileTS,1") in order to dynamically create a directory with this syntax: YYYYMMDD.
So far so good... but the only remaining BIG problem now is, that as soon as the mapping is activated and assigned in the interface determination, the created files contain the XML payload instead of the original binary content. Where has it gone? How should the target message type look like so that it can carry over the original binary file content?
BTW: isn't it possible to post screenshots? Would be much more easier to explain things... so sorry to anyone if I wasn't clear enough!
TIA and best regards,
Renaud

File Sender adapter not reading the first line

Hi,
I have a scenario configured from file to jdbc adapter.
However, I found a problem in my file sender adapter. My file adpater always not picking up the first line from my text even I have set the 'Document Offset' to 0.
Any Ideas? Thanks.

Hi Latika Sethi,
My complete input text file is as below, it contains only 2 testing records:-

After the message mapping, I found the pipeline existed in sxmb_moni as below:-

</Payslip>
There are 2 payslips as for the top payslip node...Header1 tag is missing. It means that during the file sender step....the first line of my record which is :-
"H1|DIZ1                          |A0016507    |10000020|09/2007"
is not read into the xi pipeline. Basically this is the problem i faced.
Has somebody facing the same problem before? Currently I have no choice but moved the First line of the text into Second line and left the first line of the text become null/ empty line. As such both records can be successfully read by the XI.
However what I wondered is sometimes clients will do insert the records into the first line and this might made some data loss.
Thanks...

File Sender adapter - source file name - weird

Hi all,
We have a sender file adapter polling an ftp location. The Dynamic config has been enabled to get the source file name.
The actual file name is - "hrmd.xml", but in the dynamic configuration node, in sxmb_moni, the fileName is shown as ./hrmd.xml.
This does not occur with any other file sender adapter comm channels polling ftp locations.
I guess this has something to do with the ftp server. Did anyone face this issue?

the fileName is shown as ./hrmd.xml
The file name surely cant have a / in it....such characters are not allowed.
is there any way we can change the fileName message attribute once the file is picked up
Create a UDF for Dynamic Configuration and change the name as per your requirement (in XI)....the source file may be having proper format for name and i assume that you have to change it for receiver file name

File Sender Adapter - Multiple Source Directory

Hi all,
I have the following file to IDoc Scenaraio:
The source file might be in any of 3 directories in source system and so created file sender adapter as follows:
File access parameters:
Source Directory : Directory1
File Name         : Filename*.XML
Addiontal Directory:
Directory2    Filename*.XML
Directory3    Filename*.XML
The porblem we are facing is the file adapter is picking the file from Directory1& 2 and not from Directory3.
If the change Directory Order in adapter as follows:
File access parameters:
Source Directory : Directory3
File Name         : Filename*.XML
Addiontal Directory:
Directory2    Filename*.XML
Directory1    Filename*.XML
... then file from Directory 2 & 3 is getting processed and not from Directory1.
Any thoughts on this will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Sarat.

Why use BPM for this?
Instead write an abap program to pick from any of 3 directories in source directory and place it in the shared XI folder and configure your file adapter pointing to XI shared folder...shecdule the abap report for every 5 min..
Wanna know more /people/sravya.talanki2/blog/2005/08/23/sender-xi-ftp-adapter-with-regular-path-expression-150-abap
Or write OS level scripts for doing same.

FILE SENDER ADAPTER - TO GET A DINAMIC FILE NAME IN THE DIRECTORY

Hi,
     Please help me.
     I have to read by a file sender adapter a specific file in the directory that its name is Dyyyymmdd, where yyyymmdd is variable according with the current day:
     D      - fixed letter
     yymmdd - year,month and day of the current day.
     I cant´t use D* in the File Name Scheme because I must read only the one file generated in the day.
     How can I configure my file sender adapter to read this especific file in the directory?
      Thanks in advance.
      Mider.

Hi Krishna,
    I must access only one file by time ( of the current day ), but in the directory I have a lot of them of different dates. I mean, in the of the read ( in the adapter configuration ) , I need to configure the name of the file Dyyyymmdd before of the reading in the directory, in other words, I need to construct the name of file (withe the current date) before the communication channel access the file to read it.
    I think that OS command just can be applicated in file receivers, but if possible, at your purpose, how can I access the name of this especific file via OS command for senders?
    Thanks,
         Mider.

UDF to get the filename for File Sender Adapter

Hi,
I had an requirement to get the the Filename and map to the target payload.
I had configured the File Sender Adapter settings in the ID
This is the following UDF i got from SDN.
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container.getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File","FileName");
String ourSourceFileName = conf.get(key);
return ourSourceFileName;
But when iam using this UDF iam getting an error
RuntimeException in Message-Mapping transformation: Exception:[java.lang.NullPointerException] in class com.sap.xi.tf._MM_ORDER_CRS_OB_SAP_PROXY_IB_ method Filename$[com.sap.aii.mappingtool.tf3.rt.Context@54e154e1]
Please help me in correcting the error.
Thanks
Srinivas

Hi Jayson,
actually, in the interface mapping, it doesn't give exception.
The DynamicConfiguration is a constant retrieved from the container object, so it will never be returned as null (given that the container object was instantiated).
Just the retrieved value will be null (since it was not previously set), but no exception occurs.
In the message mapping, the container object is never instantiated, and that's the reason for the NullPointerException.

Henrique.

How to ignore columns in CSV File with File Sender Adapter

Hi,
I have a CSV File that I need to load with XI. The File contains 10 columns but I only need the data from 3 columns, let's say column 1,4 and 7. Can I configure the XI File Sender Adapter in a way that it only loads the data for the required columns and ignores the rest?
Thanks in advance.
Alex

Alex,
Dont think so. Why not create Dummy fieldName for these columns you want to ignore.?

Semantics File Sender Adapter to determine which files to retrieve

Hallo,
does anybody has experience with this semantic?
Thanks in advance,
Frank
From the FAQ-List of file-adapter(Note 821267 , Question 27).
Q: Which semantics does the File Sender Adapter apply to determine which files to retrieve from an FTP server?
A: Up to and including SP13 the File Adapter will issue an NLST command (see RFC 959) with the configured source file name scheme as first parameter to the FTP server. It will try to retrieve any of the files returned by the FTP server in response to this command.
Starting with SP14, the File Adapter will issue a LIST command with the configured source file name scheme as first parameter to the FTP server. If it is able to parse the returned result (which is the case for UNIX- and Windows-style directory listings), it will retrieve any of the returned files. If it cannot parse the result, it will fall back to the pre-SP14 implementation and use the NLST command as described above.

Frank
We are on SP12 and have had problems with this and specifically, the FTP server on Solaris, not being fully RFC959 compliant.
We've had to get a different FTP Server as we were returned *.xml no file or folder found instead of 550 *.xml no file or folder found.
This increased the polling to the server, and filled up the ftp logging file, which intern filled up the partition and crasehd the server.
We got round this by installing http://www.proftpd.org/

Is it possible get special file in file sender adapter?

Hi every SDNer.
I want to get special file. for example like PJ<today>_return.dat
Well, to paraphrase Marx, One folder has too many files. but I want one file in that folder.
The rule is simple. if today is 20/07/2007 then I get the file as "PJ20070720_return.dat".
How can i configuration File Sender Adapter?

Dont have an XI system in front of me, but if I recall correctly, your options are pretty limited. The list of parameters in Advanced Selection for Source File does not include a date Better selection parms with the receiver channels.
As such you may have to resort to writing a script on the OS that will do the following every minute... (basically run it more frequently than your channel)
- look in that directory through all the PJ* files containing date = 'today'
- rename the file to REAL_PJ_..... (for example)
In your channel, pick the file REAL* and archive accordingly so it's not picked again by your script.
If you find alternatives via cchannel - publish your results.
sincerely,
--NM

Attachment of original message in file sender adapter content conversion

Hi,
does anybody know how I can configure a file sender communication channel (with content conversion) so that the original file is added to the XI SOAP message as attachment? Maybe this is just a parameter in "Advanced" tab. (The content conversion itself is not an issue.)
The result should be the "Main Document" (XML-message) and the "original document" as two attachments in the SOAP payload.
The reason for this is that the original file should be archived with the XML message as it was before the XML content conversion of the file sender adapter took place.
Thanks,
Philipp

original file is added to the XI SOAP message as attachment?
The "Advanced" tab -> additional files added in file adapter should act as the attachment to soap receiver adapter if u select the "Keep Attachments" option in soap receiver communication channel.
What do u want to do in FCC is a bit unclear?

Prateek
