File Sender Adapter - File overwritting in the Archiving folder

Hello Experts,
I am doing File sender to proxy Receiver Async Scenario.
In File Sender adapter, i am using the Archiving option by spacifying the
Archiving path.
Files are picked up and archiving happen successfully.
Problem is: - once the File is picked up and archivied into the Archiving location
If end user again rectifies some data in the same file and place it in the source directory
then i am getting the following error in RWB Commu. channel monitoring.
Failed to archive file 'File1.TXT' as '/Input File location/File1.TXT' after processing. The FTP server returned the following error message: 'com.sap.aii.adapter.file.ftp.FTPEx: 550 File not renamed. File already exists. You may delete the existing file and then rename.u2019 For details, contact your FTP server vendor.
I know this is because of File sender adapter is trying to archive the file with the same name(File1.txt) in the archiving location.
My Question: - Is there any option to allow the File sender Adapter for overwritting the
File in the archiving location.
Thanks & Regards
Jagesh

check if there is proper rights to over write files in the archive folder.
The problem seems to be that the rights/authorization is not there. Else the adapter usually overwrites files in the archive folder unless you use the timestamp option.
Archive
Files that have been successfully processed are moved to an archive directory.
u25A0       To add a time stamp to a file name, select the Add Time Stamp indicator.
The time stamp has the format yyyMMdd-hhMMss-SSS. The time stamp ensures that the archived files are not overwritten and it enables you to sort them according to the time that they were received.
u25A0       Under Archive Directory, enter the name of the archive directory.
u25A0       If you want to archive the files on the FTP server, set the Archive Files on FTP Server indicator. If you do not set the indicator, the files are archived in the Adapter Engine file system.

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

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 - file pick up

We have a scenario, where we are picking up files from an ftp directory. Before we pick up the file - say .xml file, we have to make sure that there is .FIN file.
How can we achieve this?

Hi,
you could write a module to do the check. Find more information in the blog

File-Sender Adapter File not read from folder

Hi everybody,
in CC monitoring I see that the adapter poll successful on a folder. But the file is not read! The mode is "delete"
Any ideas?
Regards Mario

hi mario,
is ur CC "green" in Adapter monitoring?
generally wen the file is polled but bot deleted this is the problem with authorization for deletion for that destination n we c "red" in CC monitoring.
but this case doznt ensure that ur scenario hasnt run. the scenario may still be successful and the problem may be only with deleting the file.

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

How to skip a blank row in File Sender Adapter - while mapping ?

Hi friends ,
                 While i am reading a test file it contains some Blank Lines i need to skip that blank lines and i have to read only full line .
                    Do i need to give any configuration in File Sender Adapter ?
                    Expecting your reply asap
Best Regards .,

<i>Hi friends ,

>>>>
currently the only option that the file adapter provides you is to skip lines at the starting of the file but not in the middle of the file.
in case these blank lines are at the starting of the file then you can use the following option
<i>Under Document Offset, specify the number of lines that are to be ignored at the beginning of the document.
This enables you to skip comment lines or column names during processing. If you do not make an entry, the default value is zero lines.</i>
Ref: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/2c/181077dd7d6b4ea6a8029b20bf7e55/content.htm
else the best way would be to handle the same in your mapping (test if the xml node is empty, in tht case do not map it) or use a module to delete all blank lines in the file.

Error Archiving File in File Sender Adapter using AF_Modules/PayloadZipBean

Hi everybody.
I have to pick a zip file up from ftp server, unzip an convert the file in xml.
Im using this modules in file sender adapter:
AF_Modules/PayloadZipBean --> To unzip de file
AF_Modules/MessageTransformBean --> file to xml
The problem is when I try to archive de file. Im getting this error and I dont know why (This path exists /out/ProcesadosSinError/)
Could not archive file 'test.zip' as '/out/ProcesadosSinError/20100518-091029-155_test.zip' after processing: java.io.FileNotFoundException: /out/ProcesadosSinError/20100518-091029-155_test.zip (A file or directory in the path name does not exist.)
Could it be that is not possible to archive with AF_Modules/PayloadZipBean?
Thank u so much

Hi Stefan.
Absolutely. This path exists. It's an absolute path from root. I can´t understand the error!!!!
Thanks!!!

File sender adapter: archiving not possible with transp.prot "filesystem,

Hi XI gurus,
in my FILE sender adapter I want to archive the processed files to a separate sub-directory of the "in" directory.
It works if I use transport protocoll "FTP" with a specific user
but it don't works when I use transport protocoll "file system (NFS)".
the xi user has all permission on the directories.
file system is on a UNIX machine.
Has anybody an idea why archiving only works with transf.protocoll FTP ?
Thanx very much in advance

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 - 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 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?

Bean

AS2 error The FILE send adapter cannot open file

I have AS2 setup under biztalk. I have receive port which listen to HTTP adapter and keep listening on web site.Then there is corresponding send port which just write that file in folder . Send port just have filter for Receive adapter name.
It works fine, but some time I get error message
The FILE send adapter cannot open file <folder name\guid.txt > for writing.
Details: The system cannot find the path specified.
I am not able to understand what is error for this? Please help me to figure-out this.

Specifying the Backup transport is not going to solve the problem. Specifying the backup transport in this case is something like addressing the symptom of the issue and not finding the solution to root cause of the issue.
As you specified, if the mentioned error only happens some time but not always. In this case, the message "The
FILE send adapter cannot open file <folder name\guid.txt > for writing." would just be a warning message. Just by setting the retry in the send port will solve the issue. i..e Since this issue occurs rarely, it may be short lived glitch.
So by setting the retry count (lets say 3 times) with retry interval (let say 5 mins), this issue can be easily mitigated. You would not lose the message. So during the glitch you would get this message as warning, send port will retry "after specified
retry interval so after 5 mins", so by that time chances of files transfer is high. So this problem can be easily handled just by having retry count and retry interval in send port.
But you need to find the actual cause for this issue or you need to find the permanent resolution for this issue.

Dynamic Send Port : The FILE send adapter cannot open file C:\Temp for writing. Details: Access is denied.

Hi All,
We have requirement of using ESB toolkit and transforming incoming xml file to edi format. So, we are using ItinerarySelectReceiveXML pipeline for receiving the input from the input location and "EDISend" pipeline for transforming it into EDI and
send it to destination.
Now, the receive pipeline is picking up the file, but it is not processed and sent to destination.
And, we are getting an Access Denied error from Dynamic send port.
Error Description :
The FILE send adapter cannot open file C:\Users\Public\Temp for writing.
Details: Access is denied.
Any Immediate solutions/suggestions are appreciated...Thanks.
Anand

The difference between dynamic and static port would be send handler. For dynamic port, default send handler will be used and for static port the one configured on the port will be used, could you validate this configuration.
Also sometimes, administrative privileges are not "real" administrative privileges and company admins will have limited permissions on C Drive folders. Try writing to some other folder to isolate the issue.

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
