File to File - no mapping

Hi,
I want to transfer files from one FTP location to another FTP location. No Mapping is involved, just file transfer.
Please let me know the steps. Is Interface mapping & Message Interface is required ?? Is it possible to transfer without creating MI, IM, DT...??
Thanks,
RDS

There is no need of creating objects in Integration Repository.
if the data is not in XML, then no mapping can be done. So, we will only need to work in the Integration Directory (ID).
Interface name can be anything you make up, but should be unique. In this case, it is "nonexistence_interface".
Namespace name can be anything you make up or already exists. In this case, it is "http://abc.com".
No need to give interface mapping in Interface Determination in ID.

Error in message Mapping(file to file scenario)

Hi friends,
In file to file scenario i am getting error like this while activating standard change list in IR.
Activation of the change list canceled Check result for Message Mapping MM_file2filejuly27 | URN:file2fileJuly27.com:
Starting compilation
Compilation complete
Check result for Software Component Version praba.com | PRABA.COM | 2007 | 0:
The standard error type ExchangeLogData is not defined for the namespace URN:file2fileJuly27.com
Save the software component version definition again. The object is then saved automatically
could you help me out how to correct this error?

Prabha,
You should not delete any existing standard Data types provided by SAP. ExchangeLogData and ExchangeDaultData are standard data types get created when you create new namespace.
If you have already deleted then copy them from other Namespace to your namespace. Activate your default data type first and then your objects.
Hope this will solve your problem.

File-to-file scenario: no mapping, filename from sender file

Hi all,
file-to-file without mapping.
we want to use XI to transport just files from XI file directory to another ftp-server (+ archiving on xi file directory)
we configered an sender file adapter that picks the file up, but
we have problems configuring the receiver adapter in that way that the filename or the original file is used
Is that possible? with which parameter settings
filename is not content of the XI message content so "message:FileName" doenst work
Thank you very much
regards
Hans

File to File multiple scenario without mapping

Hi
I am doing one simple file to file scenario without mapping i.e picking file from sender directory and then placing it in receiver directory via FTP.
Now i have to take two files from different directories and place them in to different directories in the receiver side.
On the sender side i have selected Advanced selection for source file and maintained the sceond directory name and filename.
now i am not aware about the reciver side that how to place the two files in to different directories.
I have to make only one interface for this.
Thanks in advance.

u have to follow the code in the link provided above but with some manipulations...
in case u r placing the files in different target dir depending upon the source directory then ur code will be something like this:
Note: i dont have a system as of now..so cant able to check the code for syntax errors..please cross check it
MessagePropertyKey mpk = new MessagePropertyKey("Directory","http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File");
String SourceDir = msg.getMessageProperty(mpk);
if(SourceDir.equals("/SourceDirectory1"))
String targetDir1 = "/TargetDirectory1"
msg.setMessageProperty("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File","Directory",targetDir1);
else if(SourceDir.equals("/SourceDirectory2"))
String targetDir1 = "/TargetDirectory2"
msg.setMessageProperty("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File","Directory",targetDir2);

File to File with no mapping (different filename)

I have a requirement to change the name of the filename in a file-to-file scenario. The prefix of the file will stay the same, but the target file needs to have a date format replace main part of the file. The date format is also specific YYYYMM. Below are the two examples of the source and target filenames. We are not doing a message mapping with this scenario.
Source: CA_MONTHLY_REPORT.txt Target: CA_200901_01.txt
Source: US_MONTHLY_REPORT.txt Target: US_200901_01.txt
The date needs to be calculated off a date function for current month and year.
Is this possible to do?
Thanks
Skip Ford

With mapping (UDF) it is easy. But I guess you're not allowed to use mapping, you would need to introduce adapter module.
I think with the standard configuration, you can not archive it. You have to use either UDF or adapter module.

File to file with out message mapping and using variable substitution

Hi,
Can any one send me a scenario where we can have file to file scenario with out message mapping and where i can use variable substitution.
As of now i am using integrate configurations where i cant use variable substitution as the message does not reflect in integration engine. I need to populate time stamp between <filename><timestamp>.txt.pgp
I am as of now using configuration scenario.
The time stamp always writes before the last file extension.
Let me know your thoughts?
Thanks,
Chandra.

Hi Chandra,
u can use the Variable substitution even without IR contents also(Mapping....).
in the receiver communication channel just specify the path u want to access for a value...
eg: filename payload:mt_name,1,records,1,name,1
and in th file name give it as %filename%.txt... or vt ever ur requirement

Run time exception while checking dynamic file name in mesage mapping

Hi Experts,
In my file to idoc scenario i need to know the file name dynamicalyy as i require this file name during mesage mapping.
for that i have created UDF with the following code.
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);
but when i am testing this code in mesage mapping in IR i am getting runtime exception.why its giving so ?
RuntimeException in Message-Mapping transformation: Runtime exception during processing target field mapping /ns0:Messages/ns0:Message1/ORDERS05/IDOC/EDI_DC40/MANDT. The message is: Exception:http://java.lang.NullPointerException in class com.sap.xi.tf._MM_EDI_HospitalsToORDERS05_ method filename$com.sap.aii.mappingtool.tf3.rt.Context@545f545f
Can we test this in message mapping itself ?
Best Regards,
Rohit

One more question - I hope you didn't forget return statement in your java code.
this worx 4 sure:
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;

Hi,
Yes, thats the problem.
You are creating file from test tab of 1..N mapping .
In case of 1..N mappping in mapping Extra tags of messages are addded to the data.As shown here:-
Messages
      Message1
           MessageType
When you use this mapping to generate xml message then it will add additional tags for <Messages> and <Message1>, which is not correct. it should only have structure of you MT.
So remove start and end tag of <Messages> and <Message1> from your data file. Mentioned below in bold.
<xml......>
<Messages>
<Message1>
<MT_...>
</MT_...>
</Message1>
</Messages>
This should solve your problem.

Sami.

Idoc File to File scenario mapping problem

Dear All,
I am working on File to File scenario in which my source xml file is having multiple deliveries Idoc structure to which I want to convert into output structure as required.
In my source file there is possibility that there can be multiple delivery idocs for the same delivery number so i want to pick all the data for the unique deliveries and if same delivery number repeats then the delivery created last should only be picked without considering others.
Please guide me in mapping this scenario.
Regards,

Hi,
Use the below UDF.
Set set = new HashSet(Arrays.asList(var1));
String[] array2 = (String[])(set.toArray(new String[set.size()]));
Arrays.sort(array2);
for (int i = 0; i < array2.length; i++) {
result.addValue(array2<i>);
Map like below:

Request Message mapping in SXMB_MONI for File - RFC - File without BPM

Hi ,
In my File-RFC-File scenario, the messages are processed successfully.
but when i look into the SXMB_MONI for File to RFC step, the records are present only till the Message split According to Receiver List and not able to see the records from Request Message mapping step onwards.it contains
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<ns1:Z_PI_LOTUSNOTES_UNIFORM xmlns:ns1="urn:sap-com:document:sap:rfc:functions" />
in my mapping for the receiver RFC i have not done the mapping for all the fields. few fields i have disabled. whether this could create a problem in message mapping. pls let me know what needs to be done.

Is it only for this scenario that the above display issue is occuring or is it for all scenarios?
If onlt a particular Pipeline steps are displayed then you can check what is the TRACE level set in SXMB_ADM --> Integration Engine Configuration --> and check if the TRACE parameter is set to at least 2 (max is 3 which will ensure that your DB will get full quickly)

Where can I find the file where the static mapping allocations of the DHCP server are stored?

In our company we are using DHCP to assign static ip addresses to our clients.
Now we are forced to change the ip address range. To prevent changing each allocation
of mac-address to ip-address manually with the admin tool i would like to change the allocation
in the file where the allocations are saved. The reason ist that i just have to use copy & paste for all
the allocations.
So how is the file named and where can I find the file where
the static mapping allocations of the DHCP server are stored? Is it just an ASCII file?
Must i note anything when i change the file manually?

From man bootpd:
BOOTP/DHCP STATIC BINDINGS
     Static IP address to ethernet address bindings are stored in the /etc/bootptab file and in Open Directory. Bindings specified in the /etc/bootptab file take precedence over those in Open Directory.
     See bootptab(5) for more information about the /etc/bootptab file.
     For Open Directory, bootpd looks at the /Computers records for the following properties:
/etc/bootptab is a standard text file, while the records in Open Directory can be manipulated either through the command line, or via Workgroup Manager.

Mapping error in File to File Scenario.

In a file to file scenario some times sender communication channel picked the file, before the file is completely copied to the directory Though the poling intervals is 300 seconds. To my assumption, assume that the sender communication channel lastly polled on 10:10:10 and i am coping a file after 285 sec that is 10:14:55 and file size is 20 mb that takes 50 sec to copy. but the next sender communication channel poling is 10:15:10. here the file is partially copied but the communication channel picked the file and process. The scenarios throws mapping error because of in correct input file. This rarely accords but how to handle this. i want the cc to wait until the file is completely copied to the dir and then poll.

Hi ,
But there is some problem with system i guess. Adapter engine first load the whole file and then send it to Integration engine where after receiver and interface determination , mapping is excuted. So the fact that adapter picked up half of the file and tried to process does not seem correct.
Ideally this behaviour should not occurs.
If you are observing similar with all the adapter , you should also cross check with SAP support team.

[RFC to File]Problem about Changing file name in message mapping.

Hi,
my problem:
    Type:RFC to File
    I change the file name in message mapping.
when I call the RFC to send the data twice at the same time, both of the output file names are changed while I only want to change the second output file name.
    thanks
Sam

In my MM, the input values to these variables (var1, var2 and var3) are (<ZZCOMBI>array,G499999,END_FIFC0029) ,
var1 is an array of input <ZZCOMBI> item list;
var2 is get from a property file by call another UDF;
var3 is constant value.
the test input data :
I send the data for the first time:
- <rfc:Z_IFCFR821_ZIFCTT82100010 xmlns:rfc="urn:sap-com:document:sap:rfc:functions">
- <T_ZIFCTS82100010>
- <item>
<ZZCOMBI>G000002G000002</ZZCOMBI>
<ZZKYKBN>*</ZZKYKBN>
<ENAME_VE />
<ENAME_Z5 />
</item>
</T_ZIFCTS82100010>
</rfc:Z_IFCFR821_ZIFCTT82100010>
so the input values to these variables (var1, var2 and var3) are (G000002G000002,G499999,END_FIFC0029)
the output file name(File1) :END_FIFC002920090413-171534-053.dat
output record: G000002G000002
because the data what I send is the last record, the system send the dummy data for the second time by program.
- <rfc:Z_IFCFR821_ZIFCTT82100010 xmlns:rfc="urn:sap-com:document:sap:rfc:functions">
- <T_ZIFCTS82100010>
- <item>
<ZZCOMBI>G499999</ZZCOMBI>
<ZZKYKBN />
<ENAME_VE />
<ENAME_Z5 />
</item>
</T_ZIFCTS82100010>
</rfc:Z_IFCFR821_ZIFCTT82100010>
so the input values to these variables (var1, var2 and var3) are (G499999,G499999,END_FIFC0029)
the output file name(File2) :END_FIFC002920090413-171533-928.dat
output record: G499999
I find that File2(20090413-171533-928) was ouput before File1(20090413-171534-053 ) from the time stamp.
I am not sure about that "XI will create a message ID for each message and the messages are independent." as you mentioned above.

File to file mapping without xml

Hello,
is there a possible way to use a PI7.1 file to file mapping (one static-positioned field must be mapped) without storing the file in xml format ?
We are having a flatfile and have to send this flatfile through our jms receiver adapter(as flatfile structure) but there is one important field which has to be mapped/changed(static value for all files).
Our SAP Applikation (File sender) would avoid to change this during or after creating the flatfiles in the R/3 System.
Thanks,
Gordon

Hi Gordon,
>- Do you have an example for that abap mapping ?
DATA g_str TYPE string.
CALL FUNCTION 'ECATT_CONV_XSTRING_TO_STRING'

File to File using BPM & value mapping

Hi,
   I have the following scenario to do. sample file structure is given below.
source:
HDR   13052008INDIA
BDY   123456
BDY   1234567
EOF
Target:
HDR 2IN BDY 123456 EOF
HDR 2IN BDY 1234567 EOF
for the above mentioned source and target mapping. we have to use BPM and value mapping.
In the HDR row 13052008 is the date value this has to be passed to RFC function module and it will return 2, this value has to be mapped to target
And INDIA has to be mapped to IN using the value mapping option. similarly we have many coutry code.
could anyone let me know the step by step procedure to achieve this, I followed the blog https://weblogs.sdn.sap.com/pub/wlg/1926. [original link is broken] [original link is broken] [original link is broken] but it does not fit to my scenario.
help is appreciated.
Regards
RDS

Hey,
     This is a normal file to file scenario.
     You need to use RFC look up instead of value mapping.(as you need to extract 2 and IN from an RFC)
There is no need for a BPM.
refer to this blog(for RFC look up)
/people/sravya.talanki2/blog/2005/12/21/use-this-crazy-piece-for-any-rfc-mapping-lookups
this will solve your problem.
Output of RFC look up will be 2 and IN . So use the concat function.
Other values map them directly from source to target.
Also, set the occurence for the target structure as 0 to unbounded in the mapping.(this is to be done in order to have one file for each record of the source)
You also need to configure file content conversion.(both at sender and reciever side) to convert the text file to XML on the sender side and then XML to text at the reciever side.
refer to this link for FCC.
/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2004/12/15/how-to-send-a-flat-file-with-fixed-lengths-to-xi-30-using-a-central-file-adapter
This is for sender file content conversion.
