File Sender EOIO

Hi there again,
in a file collecting sceenario our integration process is filled by data files and is waiting for a commit file in order to continue the processing. Because this commit file uses another message interface as the other messages, we have defined two file sender channels, one for the data and the other one for the commit files.
The sending application ensures, that first all data files are written. If this is completed, the commit file is stored to the polling directory. The integration process must also ensure that the commit file enters the process after the data. For this, I've set the file sender channels to EOIO mode and defined a queue name that is used by both channels.
I have some doubts that EOIO works over different file sender channels. I haven't found also any documentation about this. Can anybody confirm this functionality?
Help is highly appreciated and will be rewarded!
Kind regards,
Matthias

Hi ,
I think its better idea to give you some more links in addition to above post and let youtry to achieve it instead of giving the direct solution.

File Sender : Multiple File being picked

Hi All
I have a scenario where I have multiple files in a directory . I have set the option to Processing Parameters to be EOIO and poll interval to be 60 seconds.
The processing sequence is by Name.
This File sender triggers a BPM. What I see is that when the File sender polls the directory. If ther are multiple files, they get picked up at the same time and as many BPM are started.
I would like it to work pretty much in a serial format where it picks up only one file triggers the BPM. When the BPM is done it can trigger the next file.
How can I do this ??
Regards
Aju Paul

Hi Aju,
I have come across such scenarios...but not ones wer you have files wid same names in the same path wid almost same time stamps:)...well, d time stamp format can be specified upto milli seconds!...
Will you be able to give some kind of an "advanced selection for the source file"-this option is available in the ftp adapter..here's the link to the documentation(just in case u haven't come across it earlier):-

XI file sender: filename validation to stop processing a file twice

Hello folks,
I have a file sender adapter for a text file with name convention that includes a date - e.g. orders_YYYYMMDD.txt. We have a business requirement to ensure that we don't post the same file more than once. The file can be huge, so it's not really an option to pick up the file contents in one message.
Options I have tried:
- I do not know of a setting in the file adapter to achieve this.
- write a perl script to read the filename and translate [hex-encode] this into a Message GUID, then post the file via HTTP adapter
- - if the file name is not too long (guid is 32 hex chars) this method works well for small files that are in XML format.
- - Text files need too much perl coding to translate to XML. Large files that need to be split will fail on the 2nd chunk.
Options I don't want to use:
- Use BPM to call an RFC/Proxy that validates the filename - this will cause me to read the whole file, or I have to implement a 'pipe' in BPM to ensure EOIO processing. (We have this elsewhere, but it's not good for performance)
- Actually, I don't want to manage this in ABAP/Ztables at all if possible.
I am about to start work on a Module Processor to mangle the GIUD in the file adapter, similar to the HTTP method above (don't have any idea of whether this will be possible yet)...
Can anyone recommend another method to achieve this?

Hi Derek,
Intially when the file is picked then archive it to another directory.
with this the same file will not be processed twice.

Kumar

Can I configure file sender to take only 1 file per time?

Hello,
Can I configure file sender to take only 1 file per time?
I have scenario from file to ECC.
The poll interval is 300 seconds.
I want that the sender channel will take only 1 file per time.
Thank you
Elad

Hi,
Definely there will be some specific reason for doing this. If your purpose of doing this is to read the files one after another then there are other alternatives for that like using QoS as EOIO and then putting a delay of 30 sec in your message mapping so that each message will be process after 30 sec.
If you describe more than probably someone can give his/her best opinion.

Sarvesh

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

> With fixed lengths i get it working,

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?

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

Naina

Dynamic File Name and Directory File Sender Adapter

Hello gurus,
I have a question: Is there any way to make the File Name, and Directory Dynamic of a File Sender Communication Channel ?
For example, taking it as a parameter from a Web Service Request.. (I mean, the only way with this would be a ccBPM). I don't exactly know if there is a way, I just thought about this.
Please tell me if someone could make Dynamic these 2 parameters while picking a file.
Regards,
Juan

oops,thought i was replying to the PgP question:)
I think you should be able to achieve this via adapter module but i m not really sure how exactly it will be done .
Thanks

File sender adapter Module Error

Hi Everybody,
I have developed an adapter module for file sender to rename the file name which is picked from the directory and I am getting an error
"Attempt to process file failed with java.lang.NullPointerException".
Can anybody tell me why is this error?
Thanks,
Zabi

Hi,
first check that module has been succesfully executed or not .This you can check in RWB .
Secondly go in the file adpater and click on to module tab and check
1-there will be two things one will be adapter module that you have depolyed. other one will be call sap adapter.
2- make sure that call sap adapter should come after the module you have deployed. and having the key value less then adapter module (let say your adapter module is having the key value 1 and call sap adpater is having the key value 0 then you need to change the key value there)
Thanks

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"

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
