File Sender Issue

Hello everybody,
I have a question about a file pickup from FTP folder.
Is there a solution for file pick up sequence ?
If there are two files in the directory how do i insure that they will be picked up according to the right order ?

In case you are using NFS you will be able to specify a sequence. It is not possible via FTP as a standard
Processing Sequence (for transport protocol File System (NFS)) ->
By Name: Files are processed alphabetically by file name.
By Date: Files are processed according to their time stamp in the file system, starting with the oldest file.

Issue on file sender adapter communication channel

Hi All,
I have an issue on some of the file sender adapter communication channels .The channels are failing with the error :
(u201CAttempt to process file failed with com.sap.engine.interfaces.messaging.api.exception.MessagingException: com.sap.xi.swift.ParserException: com.sap.xi.swift.ParserException: Message does not start with character '0x1f'u201D).
Please let me know the procedure to get this message processed.

Hi Vishu,
Find out in what encoding the file is in. for that download Notepad++ and open the file with in.
In Encoding tab you will see the encoding format.
1. If its not UTF-8 or ANSI then you should set the correct encoding in Sender File channel.
2. Check for BOM characters which will not be visible directoly.
3. Use Notepad++ to convert the content to HEX and check for hidden values. i bet there will be some Encoding BOM in the file which is creating problem while picking the file.
Since you are using SWIFT module: try to validate the XML file using Altova XML and check weather is correct.

Issue with archiving in file sender channel

Hi Experts,
We have configured a file to ABAP proxy scenario in our production PI 7.0 system. the file sender communication channel is configured to perform " file content conversion" and archive the source file after it is processed successfully.
Recently , the sender channel stopped archiving the files. but it is processing them.
we need the source files to be archived. i do not see any related error in XI logs and default trace files . also it is not a problem with disk space on file system either.
can you please let me know how the issue can be resolved.
Thanks.

Hi
Make sure that you have selected processing mode Archive
Try by Checking Add Time stamp check box.
Check the Archive File path in correct format
or put archive file in diffrent folder from which selecting file.

File sender adapter is not working

Hello All,
We are facing a problems with file sender adapter. Communication channel is not picking the files from the directory, but the status in RWB for that channel is 'Functioning'. We are not sure whether the channel is locked or any other problewm with adapter. (In Alternate option, we have created copy of that channel and when it is activated, it picked the file )
Can anyone help us how to identify whether channel is locked and any other solutions in this case.
Regards,
Sreenvias.

Hi Srinivas,
The file adapter ( The respective channel) is definitely locked in PI . Ideally for each polling interval a lock is being created and once the processing is over , the lock should be released/deleted automatically to allow further polling interval. If the lock is not released by the system automatically,further polling will not happen as expected. ( This may affect all sender file adapters as well. I would recommend to do a check in al sender file communication channels)
You can see/delete the locks in Visual admin.
Go to Server>Services->Locking adapter and click refresh
The entries for file adapter ( with name $XIAFFileAdapter) should be deleted by selecting those particilar entries and click delete selected locks.
If you have more than one node, then same should be done in all server nodes.
The temprory solution would be creating/copy the existing channel in ID with same properties and assign it into particular sender agreement.
But, the lock may be created again which potentailly stops all your file based interfaces. Hence i would suggest to use Timeout parameter avialable in file sender adapter which termiates FTP session as you defined, This should solve your issue permanently.
The FTP server do have thier own time out settings but if you don't defne any particulat time out in PI, the FTP server forcefully disconnects the FTP sessions which created locks in PI.
Hope this solves your issue.
PS: The same bahaviour would expected for all sender JDBC adapter as well

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 - Dinamic Source Directory and Filename

Hi Experts,
I have to receive in XI a file and depeding of some info, put it in diferent directories with diferent fieldnames.
In receiver File Adapter we can set the directory and fieldname dinamically by ABAP-CLASS mapping, but not in Sender.
I've read Michal's blog
/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/11/10/xi-the-same-filename-from-a-sender-to-a-receiver-file-adapter--sp14
and sap help

But, I can't find Adapter-Specific Message Attributes in my File Adapter...:-) I've checked SP version is SP16, where are my Adapter-Specific Message Attributes?
How can I set Directory and Fieldname at runtime for Sender File Adapter?
Please help...
Thanks all in advance,

Urtzi.

Hi Nilesh,
Your threath is not about my issue...
Answering to other friends, what I want is not to write p.e.: '/server/dir/' in each File Sender Adapter Channel, and put it with any other way looking some 'customizing' or checking a condition.
The problem is that frecuently in the Company changes servers and we have to enter to the Directory and change every Channel one by one...We would like to reduce the maintain of the Channels with a mapping, variable, customizing table...or something similar. Do I explain?
I don't know if its possible but I had the hope...:-)
Thanks all.

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/

Cant do a file get from external server using file sender adapter with ftp

Hi all,
Up until now our company has only used the file sender adapter with ftp protocol to get a file from our XI server for processing and input the file into an integration process
I have a requirement to do an ftp file get from an external server
From our XI development server I can ftp directly to the external server and view the required directory using the command window via a DOS prompt (FTP open ...). So all firewall issues and communications are fine
Unfortunately I cannot currently pull files from the external server using the XI file adapter with ftp protocol from the XI development server AWB017
FTP Connection Parameters: External server name using port 21, Data Connection is Passive, No security, I supply a userid and password
Processing Parameters: Processing Mode is Archive (I tried test but this did not work either)
No messages appear in the RWB
Is there something else that I need to set up in order for the external ftp get to work via the XI file adapter?
Regards,
Mike

Thanks for your responses.
I have found the error messages in the File Adapter Monitor
Scenario 1
When I prefix the source directory with a forward slash, eg /Folder/Subfolder the error message is as follows
EST: Error: Error connecting to ftp server 'ip address': FTPEx: /Folder/Subfolder: The system cannot find the path specified
Scenario 2
When I DO NOT prefix the source directory with a forward slash, eg Folder/Subfolder a different error message is returned
Error: Retrieving file 'FILENAME.XML' failed unexpectedly: FTPEx: Folder/Subfolder: The system cannot find the path specified
At least in this scenario the adapter has been able to identify the file on the external FTP site but cannot retrieve it
Questions
I thought that the backslash prefix for the source directory was mandatory but I am receiving an error in each scenario
I receive the same error message whether the Processing Mode is 'Archive' or 'Test'
The logs on the external ftp server seem to indicate that I am simply connecting, sending username and password then quiting straight away. I am not issuing any commands that they can see
I thought that being a Sender adapter it would inherently execute a Pull or Get command
To recap, from our XI development server I can ftp directly to the external server and view the required directory using the command window via a DOS prompt (FTP open ...). So all firewall issues, communications, userid and password are fine
Has anyone experienced these issues?
Please advise on next course of action?

Mike

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: Verification of file content during file content conversion

Hello,
I have a question regarding file verification when using the file-sender adapter.
I got a flat file (.csv) that I convert into XML with the file-sender adapter and file-content-conversion.
In the file there is a column RecTyp that is my KeyFieldValue. Possible values for RecTyp are B, D, U, T.
So far so good. All this works perfectly.
If (due to an error) there is another value in RecTyp than the 4 mentioned above (B;D;U;T) the file adapter ignores this row today. And here begins my issue:
I want to change this behavior. That means in detail, I want to check if there is another value in my KeyFieldValue RecTyp than specified. If this is the case an exception should be thrown. The whole message should not be delivered.
We had the idea to use the module-processor for this verification.
But may be there are other suggestions. Or may be some one can provide an appropriate module that is already written, etc.
Does anyone have an idea?
Kind regards,
Tobias

Hi,
It is better to pick the file in generic way i.e Row by Row and then go with the validation with the help of Adapter Modules or in the Mapping.

Problem while archiving faulty files in File Sender Adapter

Hi All,
I am facing some problem while archiving the faulty files using Sender File adapter.
I have configured the option in the File Sender Channel to archive the files to some
other location. I have configured some custom modules inorder to perform conversion.
My file adapter is not archiving the faulty files. Please help me in this regard asap.
Best Regards,
Surya

I have checked with all the authorization issues. It is still no archiving the faulty file.
Can you please explain the mechanism behind this concept?
How File adapter will decide that it is faulty? On what basis?
How Modules play a role here?

Surya.

Bad adapter engine configuration - File Sender scenery doesn't work

In file sender scenery, the adapter doesnu2019t pass any message to the Integration Engine.
When I take a look to the communication channel monitoring it shows the channel with status OK (Green). But when I look into the audit log of the incoming message I see the following error:
Received XI System Error. ErrorCode: INBOUND_BINDING_ERROR ErrorText: ErrorStack: Error in sender agreement for party , service VLTEST, interface namespace urn:damm.es:vialactea:logistica, interface oa_SimpleLine No sender agreement found for , , , , ,
The sender agreement exists in the Directory and the status of the cache is OK.
But in the Message Data I see this End Point URL: http://asrmd:8082/sap/xi/engine/?type=entry
This is adapter is attached to a development system instance number 80 and the port of the above URL is a reference to the TEST system instance number 82. I investigate this issue but I canu2019t find where the miss-configuration is causing this bad End Point.
Have anybody an idea about this problem. Itu2019s the first time I found this kind of miss-configuration.
All other adapters are working fine. The file receiver adapter is working fine too.
Thanks in advanced.

Hi Sergi,
Now is clear. Sorry but I didn´t see your posts properly. I didn't move the cross bar until the final.
So now I change my point of view.
Go to Runtime Workbech --> Component Monitoring --> Integration Engine --> Test Message. Which URL is displayed here? is it right?
If don't, effectively you have wrong configured your URL of the Integration Engine.
Go to SLD --> Business Systems --> Select your XI business System. At the Integration Configuration tag check the URL, if it is wrong, change it and save the changes. Remember that the rol must be Integration Server.
Refresh the caches.
Hope it is usefull.

Adapter file sender -archiving doesn't work sometimes

Hi everybody,
We are on PI 7.1 on windows 2008 server 64 bits
I have something strange..
I developped a few time ago a flow
File adapter => PI => SAP R/3 RFC
When the adapter file sender pick up the file, he should normally archive them.
The archived file is well created in a separated directory with an addition of timestamp and the normal process after is the deletion of original file.
The strange thing happens during the last operation. Sometimes it is deleted and sometimes it is not deleted. .
In the second case, the adapter file will retreat it after a few time => it generates an error of duplicate key (Of course in PI has already treated it). That case can happen more than 10 times until the delete of the file works.
I applied many other flows with the same principle but with other directories (on the same server) and that happens with that only one.
Does somebody have an idea what could be the origin of that strange behavior?
All the ideas are welcome.
Thank you in advance for your help.
E. Koralewski

When the file fails to be archived, the transaction should be rolled back (therefore, message wouldn`t be generated). Please apply both notes below and check if the issue persists.

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.
