File Sender adapter , FCC Multiple levels

Hi Experts,
I have gone thru forum, but I could not find exact information.
Scenaio: Outbound, XI receives flat file and has to convert flat file to XMl file.
Below is the structure of flat file created in XI.
<MT>
    -----<FileHeader>
    -----</FileHeader>
    -----<QuotationHeader>    1 - Unbounded
                          <ItemHeader>
                                     <ConditionHeader>
                                      </ConditionHeader>
                           </ItemHeader>
            </QuotationHeader>
           <QuotationHeader>
          </QuotationHeader>
          <FileFooter>
          </FileFooter>
</MT>
FileHeader and QuotationHeader and FileFooter are at the same level.
Sender file adapter will suport this FCC ? as I have heard it supports at max 3 levels.
How this can be achieved?
Thanks,
Div

Hi,
The structure cant be directly parsed using FCC as it cant handle the file hierarchy greater than 3 levels.
The below specified method is one of the procedure to do that.
Modify the source structure to the below structure and parse it using FCC
<MT>
     <FileHeader>
    </FileHeader>
    <QuotationHeader>
          <ConditionHeader>
          </ConditionHeader>
     </QuotationHeader>
      <QuotationHeader>
      </QuotationHeader>
      <FileFooter>
       </FileFooter>
</MT>
Now use an intermediate mapping in which you map the modified structure to the actual structure.
Thanks,
Ramkiran

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.

Archiving faulty Source file not working in Sender Adapter FCC

Hi Experts,
I have enabled "Archiving Faulty Source File" in Sender Adapter FCC and pen down the directory path accordingly.
Likewise I also enable the processed mode as "archive" and give it the direcotory path.
However when there is a error flagged in sxmb_moni for this interface, I unable to see any file created in the error folder but I can see a file with timestamp being created in the archive folder.
I have checked the access right to the directory, so this is not an issue. I ran through the forum on this subject and come across the help.sap note on the following
" To archive source files where a permanent error occurred during processing, set the indicator.
A permanent error occurs either during the conversion of the file content, or in a module in the module processor.
More information: MessageTransformBean, Migrating Dispatcher Classes
○ Specify the Directory for Error Archiving.
○ To add a time stamp to the archived file, select Add Time Stamp. "
What is the definition as "permanent error". The error I got in sxmb_moni is a mapping conversion error, so it should be archive this to the error folder, right ?
Anyone have any such setting enabled and working ?
Regards
FNG

The error I got in sxmb_moni is a mapping conversion error, so it should be archive this to the error folder, right ?
No, it is not the case. As mentioned on the SAP Help site, for the faulty file to be archived, the error has to occur in content conversion, or in module processor.
If the error you are getting is in MONI, then it means syntactically the file is correct and hence adapter engine has picked up and sent to integration engine (SXMB_MONI).

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

File Sender Adapter - Throw Alerts

Hi experts,
I've custom a communication channel for the file sender adapter and I'd like to raise alerts in case of technical errors and functional.
I managed to do this for functional errors, by alert rules, and runs good. But for technical errors, the alert rules, not runs good.
I think to develop this control through Adapter User Modules. But so far I have not succeeded. Because if I remove the read permissions of the directory, the User Module is not executed.
I don't know the solution. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Jose.

Hi experts,
My problem was a bad configuration on the parameters of the alert rule. To manage the system errors and the application errors for my process integration scenario I'm configured the next:
System Errors:
Rule Activated: Yes. - And - Suppress Multiple Alerts of This Rule: No.
Description and Alert Category, the corresponds.
Bound to message: Not relevant.
Sender Service, Sender Interface and Sender namespace, the corresponds.
The other conditions: *
Where did the error occur?
Adapter Engine: Yes. - Adapter Type: File
Application Errors:
Rule Activated: Yes. - And - Suppress Multiple Alerts of This Rule: No.
Description and Alert Category, the corresponds.
Bound to message: Yes.
Sender Service, Sender Interface and Sender namespace, and Receiver conditions, the corresponds.
Where did the error occur?
No Restriction.
Thanks to all,
Jose.

How to handle flat file with variable delimiters in the file sender adapter

Hi friends,
I have some flat files in the ftp server and hope to poll them into XI, but before processing in XI, I hope to do some content conversion in the file sender adapter, according to the general solution, I just need to specify the field names, field seperator, end seperator, etc. But the questions is:
The fileds in the test data may have different amount of delimiters (,), for example:
ORD01,,,Z4XS,6100001746,,,,,2,1
OBJ01,,,,,,,,,,4,3
Some fileds only have 1 ',' as the delimiter, but some of them have multiple ','.
How can I handle it in the content conversion?
Regards,
Bean

Hi Bing,

File Receiver Adapter FCC parameters

Hi
I have a File to File format via PI
I have the following structure from the sender File adapter passing to receiver file adapter.
The inbound structure as follow
<CONTRACT>
<HEADER>
    <X1>
    <X2>
<LINE>
   <Y1>
   <Y2>
   <Y3>
I have configured the FCC parameter at Receiver file adapter as follow
HEADER.fieldseparator -    '0x09'
LINE.fieldseparator - '0x09'
I can get Header and LINE items.
But with mutiple records, I can only receive one record.
I have tried a lot of combination based on the forum thread on this matter but to no avail
I would like to seek your expert advice.
Regards
Fred

The payload at the target adapter show only
<Header>
<Line>
<Line>
<Line>
occurences is 1:unbounded
I have also tried adding in Header.endSeparator - 'nl'
                                         Line.endSeparator - 'nl'
but the output is still the same with one record.
I have check the payload at Sender adapter CC
and found it is coming as one record only
though the source file has mulitple records.
BTW, the source file structure is fixedlength with header indicator as H
line indicator as L.
Therefore I have set keyfield parameter in Sender adapter FCC as H and L

File Sender Adapter with FTP protocol

Hi,
I implementet a file sender adapter with FTP protocol. There is a problem: the sender processes the files even if they're in use by another application.
I.E. If another application put files (via ftp) in the sender work directory (that is on ftp), the sender processes those files before their transfer is completed.
I don't want that this sender in a communication channel in PI 7.1, imports files in the system when they aren't completed yet.
There are some ways to block sender before it processes incompleted files (in an ftp)?
Thanks
Matteo

Hi,
File sender adapter provides a check for NFS mode
+Check this
To specify additional parameters in the adapter configuration, set the Advanced Modeindicator.
● Msecs to Wait Before Modification Check
Enter the number of milliseconds that the adapter must wait before it checks whether the files have been changed.
This parameter is not available if you have selected File Content Conversion as the Message Protocoland then made an entry under Recordsets per Message that splits an input file into several messages.
This parameter is applicable only for the File adapter. If you enter a value in this field when configuring the sender FTP adapter, it will have no effect.+
Other approach can be to apply OS level checks

Mail Sender Adapter with multiple sMIME attachments

Hi!
I 'm using XI 3.0 SP 15.
I have problems with my Mail-Sender-Adapter.
The mails, I fetch, contain a certificate and multiple xml-attachments. The xml's represent an IDOC-structure (INVOIC.INVOIC02).
The task is to first check the certificate, and then to send each of the XML attachments separately to an SAP-System.
1) We have twelve partner which use this e-Invoicing interface. How do I administer the certificates and do I have to create for each partner a "Sendervereinbarung"?
2)
The second problem is, that I have multiple payloads which have to be processed separately. How can this be done?
kind regards and thanks a lot for your help
MArtin

As we have multiple xml-attachments, I guess we have a major problem anyway.
I guess Certificate verification in the sebder agreement is done after the Module Processing of the email-adapter isn't it?
Due to the multiple attachments we have to write a customer specific Module for the email-adapter anyway.
I guess the only way is that the module validates the certificate against the J2EE KeyStore and then extracts the various xml attachments to a file share.
A File sender adapter then polls the file share and the sender aggreement / receiver agreement /mapping ... process starts.
The only question is if the file adapter works also without a sender agreement, so that the xml's are stored on the file share
Do you have an idea, if this works? or do you see any alternatives?
thanks alot for your help!!

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 ...
regards

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.

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

Hello All...
sysinfo: files to join, file1, file2, file3 output after joining the files should be sal.txt and the executable file is run.bat
We have a File Sender Adapter and we are trying to "Run an Operating System Command Before message Processing" where we execute run.bat, if we execute it manually this executable run.bat is ok, but if we try to use it from "run operating System command before message processing" it does not work (it does not create the sal.txt file in the operating system)
we are wondering if that is because file sal.txt in the field "file name" of "file access parameters" does not exist in the operating system before the file run.bat runs.
Any clue about this?.
Regards

HI Maru,
Why don't you try to run this command from the sender directory specified in your sender file adapter in your command prompt??
Does that result in success???
And also, Instead of using a .bat fie, use the following command
COPY "C:\MyFolder\file1.txt" + "C:\MyFolder\file2.txt" +"C:\MyFolder\file3.txt" "C:\MyFolder\sal.txt"
