File Sender CC NFS

Hi everybody,
I have to use the file NFS communication channel to pick files from NFS.
I can see the folder including the file when I open the microsoft windows explorer.
How can I examine in the microsoft windows explorer which value I have to use Source Directory in the communication channel?
Thanks
Regards Mario

Hi Udo,
I tried this:
Asuming in the explorer I can see:
public on "CENTRAL"(X:)
and the folder is
MYFOLDER.
--> I gave the value
//CENTRAL/MYFOLDER
But this does not work
Regards Mario

How to specify source directory in File sender adpate using (NFS)?

Hello experts,
I am doing File-PI-Proxy scenario.
Input file is available on machine which is within the Network area and FTP is not available on that machine.
For this reason I am using the NFS Transport Protocol.
In ID File sender I have specified Source Directory:-
IP Address\Directory
I am geeting the Error in RWB as 'Configured source directory '
IP Address\Directory' does not exist'.
Please suggest how to specify the Source Directory path.
Regards,
Jagesh

Hi,
If you want to use NFS protocol, then the file needs to be within the a folder in the XI server and not outside it, In your case if you need to use the file in a different machine which is on a network then try to use the FTP protocol.
Refer this blog:
/people/shabarish.vijayakumar/blog/2006/08/01/along-came-a-file-adapter-mr-ftp-and-rest-of-the-gang which shows the details of how you can install a local FTP and use it

Sender File Adapter and NFS

I am having a sender file adapter and is using NFS as the Transport Protocol. This channel is throwing an error that " directory does not exist". What can be the possible solutions for this problem?
When I had previously checked this , it was working fine but now its throwing this errorr.

Hi Neelansha,
If you select the transport protocol for NFS, Mention the Directory name for where we can get data.
and check the communication channel monitor for file sender, it will shows the clear error.

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.

File sender adapter not reading

Hi experts,
We're getting an issue with the File sender channels in our system.
None of the files we place in the source directory is read by our channels.
These channels are NFS. We've already gave all permissions to SO user <sysid>ADM.
The CC monitor don't show us any error, it's working as if there were no files in the directory, when there are.
Does anyone know what could be happening? And is there any other place/log when we can check?
Thanks in advance.
LUIS B.

Hi Luis,
Check the permission bits of the file you are trying to read . If the source system is unix all of RWX bits must be set to 1. If you do not have access to change the file access permission in unix folder you can take help of Basis team or another way is to use the option Run Operating System Command Before Message Processing. Here you can mention
chmod 777 *.*
This will make all files available for PI to read, write and execute.
Second reason maybe that your channel might have got locked and is unable to pick up files. Although in CC monitoring you can see polling is going on. Please request your Basis team to look into the communication channel properties.
Hope this helps.
regards

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

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

File Sender Channel

Hi,
I have a job running which copies a file from remote server to my PI server. I have a file sender channel which picks up this file send it for further processing.
Is there a way to make sure that the file sender channel reads the file only after it has completely been copied from the remote server assuming that we dnt know what is the maximum time it could take to write the file.

Two options,
1. The script should write the file having set the indicator as read only. Only after it writes the file completely the read only option should be removed.
the option ● Process Read-Only Files (for transport protocol File System (NFS)) should be disabled
2. Use this option,
Advanced Mode
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.
Note
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.
All above solutions will work only if its NFS and not FTP

Fixed File- File Sender Adapter

I have a Fixed File.

I am SENDING the file.
Issue : The File is not picking up and I am not seeing my job in the SXMB_MONI. (We are in sp14)
Please assist me.
Note : I have looked the Adapter Monitor and I see the Green Button for my Sender file and it says its processed.

Hi ,
I guess your content conversion is wrong. And your input XML is also not very clear.
The strcuture should be:
MT_name (document : MESSAGE_MT)
|
Recorset (Recorset name Optional)
|
Recordset_str (VendorDetail)
|
Fields like vendorName
You have used messages as document. its wrong
your content conversion should be:
Document Name : MESSAGE_MT
Document Namespace space:urn:zz.com:HR:BENEFITS
Recordset Name: recordset (can take any dummy name if this is not described in ur XML structure)
Recordset Namespace :
<Recordset Structure: create on structure i.e parent node of VendorNo,VendorName e.g VendorDetail>
Recordset Structure: VendorDetail,1
Recordset Sequence: Ascending
Key field Name : you dont equire as there is only one recorset str
Key Field type: Not required
VendorDetail.fieldFixedLengths: 5,10
VendorDetail.fieldName: VendorNo,VendorName
VendorDetail.endseparator: ' ' or 'nl' for new line
ignoreRecordsetName: true.
Hope this works.

FILE sender, error mapping

Hello,
I've FILE to RFC interface.
Input file is xml (NFS)
<fichero>
<field1>
<field9>
This file don't contain the <ns0:FICHERO xmlns:ns0="http://Pedidos"> and runtime the error RuntimeException in Message-Mapping transformatio~ occurs,
Is it necesary put this sentence in xml file? (with this sentence the test in message mapping IR is OK),
Should I require that you send the file to include this sentence?
thanks very much,

Hi Sakthi,
This is basically for your namspace if you not required
If you don't required <ns0:FICHERO xmlns:ns0="http://Pedidos"> tag in the xml while mapping so replace your namesapce from the message type both sender and receiver if required.
Message Type -- > XML Namespace (remove your namesapce under their) and activate.
Check your source and target structure, the following tag <ns0:FICHERO xmlns:ns0="http://Pedidos"> should not be there.
Regards,
Sameer

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

and i want and xml file which looks like this:

And especially how the FCC has to be configured for this scenario?
Thanks in advance,
Chris

> With fixed lengths i get it working,
>
> but with de fieldseparator 0X09 it does not work,
> would you please tell me the complete FCC config not only the fieldSeparation line?
Well Christian,
There is one thing, eithere you can use fieldSeparator or fieldFixedLengths you can not use both together. So in your case do not use fieldSeparator.
The complete FCC is almost same as given in the blog in my previous reply. See the final output in that blog and create your data type accordingly. e.g.
Recordset
------Item 0...unbound
--------Field1 0..1
--------Field2 0..1
--------Field3 0..1
--------Field8 0..1

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.

Why does File send link not work? Even right clicking on my mouse doesn't work. Is there a fix for this?

Why can I no longer send links to websites? Clicking File>Send Link doesn't work nor does right clicking on the mouse. Both worked prior to Firefox 6. I also can't send emails to websites that don't spell out their address but instead say "to send an email click here". Everything works fine in Chrome and Safari but not in Firefox.

OK well after first reverting to an older version of firefox to get my right click menu options back I have since discovered one way that works but at a cost.
By using the addon menu-editor it is possible to move the EMAIL LINK button from the file menu to the (Main Context Menu) ie the "right click menu" BUT you will loose the file menu button as there is no way to clone the button and only move a copy. Bunch of clowns that decided to do this I really don't know what they were thinking. Very VERY stupid move.
Here is a link to the only option that works https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/menu-editor/
Can you fellows/chaps  at least provide a clone and move option in the menu-editor?
