File to Proxy scenarios, varying Transport Protocol

I need to define a "normal" scenario which will pick up files from an external FTP location, and process them with a server proxy.
But there's the additional need to pick files from an arbitrary local file server in which some users could drop manually files they received by mail, which should be processed in the same way.
This forced me to define two communication channels, two sender agreements, etc, and dupplicate in general all the directory objects. The CCs vary in the protocol and directories properties, but the content conversion parameters are also dupplicated (Recordset, fieldNames, fieldSeparator and such).
I will have this same situation with at least 4 interfaces which leads to a lot of objects proliferation.
Is there any way to avoid this massive dupplication?
Many thanks!

Hi Alejandro -
your suggestion didn't apply because in this case we are talking about the same adapter but different protocol which requires two separate CCs
>>>No need to have two separate CC's when you go with execute OS commands option.
Only one channel which will pick the files from local file system. But before processing these you execute the OS commands to download the files from FTP server.
But of course, as you are comfortable with the the other suggestion, you can create the channels and sender agreements..

Hi,
my scenario is a file to file scenario using Transport Protocol FTP
there are 3 systems involved
a. computer 1 ( My system-source)
b. computer 2 (XI server)
c. computer 3 (Target system)
I want XI to pick file from computer 1 and post it to computer 3
I am logging on to XI server from computer 1(thro SAP GUI),
Sender communication channel :
Transport protocol:FTP
Messsage protocol: file
In FTP connection Parameters:
Server: computer 1 IP address
port:21
User name and PW---> I have given computer 1 Username and password.
Connection mode: permanently
Transfer mode: Binary
Folder: C:\ftproot\output
filename : given
In Receiver Communication Channel
Transport protocol:FTP
Message protocol: file
In FTP connection Parameters:
Server: computer 3 IP address
port:21
User name and PW---> I have given computer 3 Username and password.
Connection mode: permanently
Transfer mode: Binary
Put File: Use Temporary File
Folder:
eccserver\saploc\tmp
filename scheme: given
When I activate the scenario file is not getting picked from the source
In Adapter Framework: Message says up and running No message processing now
How to check FTP server is up and running on computer 1 (source system)and Computer 2 (XI server)?
What could be the problem ?
Thanks

Hi
Consider that I dont have FTP installed on my computer. According to this blog
/people/shabarish.vijayakumar/blog/2006/08/01/along-came-a-file-adapter-mr-ftp-and-rest-of-the-gang
I have configured.
In sender comm channel I have given Ipaddress of computer 1 (which has a file to be picked)
In Receiver Comm channel I have given IP address of computer 3 (in which file to be posted)
and computer 2 is the XI server
Computer 1 has FTP installed
1. XI server should have FTP installed or not ? IF yes is it FTP client or FTP server or Guild FTP (according to the blog is enough)
2. Computer 3 should have FTP installed or not ?
Please help me I am really confused.
Thanks

File -to- File is not working. Why????

Hi SAP gurus,
We have Installed XI 3.0 successfully on one blade server (Stack 04 configuration).
We tried file-file scenario but nothing seems to be happenning.
How to know whether File Adapter has been Initialized or not? And whether its able to pick a file.
As SXMB_MONI transaction is not displaying any messages. Runtime workbench (message monitoring) too doesnt display anything.
We also tried making adapter inactive <--> active but of no use.
Do we need to make any special visual admin adapter settings?
Plz help

Hi
am tryin a similar scenario, nothin seems to work , ve tried to explain wat object i ve created in IR & ID, ne clarifications are welcome.
SLD - > I Created a product, SWC , then 2 tech systems(Third Party), then 2 Business Systems( One for file sender & other as file receiver)
Design Time -> 2 DTs , 2 MTs, 2 MIs, and then a straightforward mapping program(a Message Mapping & then an Interface Mapping)
Config Time -> Assign Both Bus Systems, created 2 comm channels ( sender & receiver ), then created a Sender Agreement( to associate the sender channel).
After this created a Receiver Determination, specifed the sender service & interface. In the "Configured receivers" , added the receiver Business system as "Service" . Then created a interface determination.
Is there anything i ve missed in my above configuration ?
Now after doin all this , tried activating the channels, nothin seems to happen & monitoring gives no message. Hit point blank , Now i ve some trivial queries,
1) When i choose the Transport Protocol as "NFS" , i beleive the file to be polled has to be on the XI Server host m/c ?
2) When i choose the protocol as FTP , i can ve my own FTP server( am using guildFTP server) , IS there any specific FTP server to be used or can i use any server available( say a UNIX m/c with FTP port enabled) ?
3) How is the directory format specified, It has to be prefixed by a / rite ? , say assuming i ve a folder called upload where in my input files are kept , i specify as /upload ?
4) By "adapter engine has to be up", Is it the adapter engine which is brought up from the tech_adapter folder using the run_adapter.bat file ?
5) Where do i go and view the log file/trace file ?
Thanks

What is the transport protocol File (Axis) in the SOAP Adapter

Hi,
for a SOAP Receiver Adapter it's possible to choose 'File (Axis)' as transport protocol.
How does it work and is there some documentation about it?
Thanks and regards
Patrick

Hi,
thanks for your answers.
@Prateek
Yes I tried -> Doesn't say so much
@Vinod
The first thread didn't helped me and I have seen already the second one.
@kummari
The question is how can I use it?
@Gabriel
>The adapter uses transport protocol(File (Axis)) to send SOAP messages as text file
Could you please explain it a little more detailed (maybe with an example)?
My question is about in which scenarios it makes sense to use this transport protocol and how is it used?
Thanks and regards
Patrick

About Transport Protocol File(Axis)

Hi All,
In my Scenario i am using SOAP Adapter at Receiver Side..
While Creating Communication Channel For Receiver In Transport Protocol we have many options like HTTP,SMTP,File(Axis) etc.
In which case we opt File(Axis)?

Hi Deepthi,
You configure the receiver Axis SOAP adapter to send information from the Integration Server or the PCK to remote clients or Web service servers.
Check the below link :-
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwpi711/helpdata/en/45/a4f8bbdfdc0d36e10000000a114a6b/content.htm

File Adapter - FTP/ NFS:Transport protocol

Dear All,
We have a requirement to pick the file form the Sever which is inside the company network also
Client is not ready to install the FTP / any other protocol and they simply want us to pick the file from the specified folder,
let me know the way forward how can achieve this?
Regards,
Manikandan Shanmugam

Hello,
You need to write the Shell Script or Java based web service code in the Server where the file is there.........the Shell script will pick the file from the server and place it in PI server( Script need to be scheduled background so that it will check for the file, if file exist then picks the file).........u need to take take help from Unix admin guy for writing the code.
this is not standard as we can't monitor the script, but we can go for it as both the systems are in same network so there will not be any issues. Once the file is placed in your PI system normal process need to send file from ur PI system to target system.
as your requirement is tricky there is no other option.

File to File scenario

Hi,
I have a problem in file to file scenario in which the file is not getting transferred from source to target.
Source communication channel - Transport protocol - NFS | Process mode : Delete | The file is picked but not able to delete from the directory.
Error: File: d:\test\file.txt deleting after processing failed - retry
The file is not transferred to target is it because of this CC is not able to delete the file. Does windows also have any authorization issue if so how should one check the authorization. I have the admin access of my system.
Thanks.

Hi,
Firstly, Since the scenario works perfectly while using Test mode, so all your design & configuration are OK.
Now, there can be Two reasons why PI is not able to delete the file and process it (during Delete Mode):
(The Problem will persists if you use Archive Mode also)
Prob 1. The directory is write protected or read only
Prob 2. The file is write protected or read only
Solution:
If Unix System
Soln for Prob 1. - go to the directory structure
for ex: if directory where file is kept is /staging/Interface/PI/Test/inbox/
then go to /staging/Interface/PI/Test/ and give command ls -lrt
It will show the directory names with permisions.
use chmod 777 inbox and the permissions willl be changed ( drwxrwxrwx )
Soln for Prob 2. - Get inside /staging/Interface/PI/Test/inbox/ and give command ls -lrt
if the file does not have authorizations as (-rwxrwxrwx) give chmod 777 <filename> and then give command touch <filename>
If Windows System
Soln for Prob 1. - Goto the directoty and right click on the folder and deselect the Read Only Checkbox.
Soln for Prob 2. - Right Click on the file and deselect the Read Only Checkbox
Try again and the scenario will work surely. Let me know if any issues.

Hi,
Correct log message in cc monitor (with or without files in source path) would be:

Processing finished successfully
If you see only
Processing started
Polling interval started. Length:XXX seconds
Processing started
Polling interval started. Length:XXX seconds
Please, recreate your sender cc from integration directory

Hi
I checked for XIAPPLUSER role in SU01 but it is not there?
What the role of XIAPPLUSER ?
Why do i need this role?
Here we have installed XI in solaries system so i asked my basis team to share one folder in XI system with full access.
First have given transport protocol as the Fil System, at that time communication Channel was in green but i got the above errors which i have mentioned earlier...
My question is can i give the transport protocol as File System because i am accessing the folder with in the XI server but i am accessing it through FTP.
Now i have configured the FTP I have configured everything correct but still i am getting the following errors...
An error occurred while connecting to the FTP server '10.30.3.23:21'. The FTP server returned the following error message: 'com.sap.aii.adapter.file.ftp.FTPEx: 530 Login incorrect.'. For details, contact your FTP server vendor
Could you please help me in this?

File to Mail scenario? File not received only namespace

Hi,
I tried to do file to mail scenario. I read blogs and forum questions before posting this.
My problem is that I am sending.dat file in file to mail scenario.
I used XIPAYLOAD and without Mail adapter
When i received mail it contains attachement Untitled.xml and it does not contain my file data it contains only this.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<ns1:Mail xmlns:ns1="http://sap.com/xi/XI/Mail/30" />
I do not know how to create file with payload containing To, from subject, content things. I tried Michal blog and disabled unneccessary fields etc. and when i send email as file but now In RWB it gives error
Message processing failed. Cause: com.sap.aii.af.ra.ms.api.RecoverableException: java.io.IOException: no sender address specified
regards
hussaan

Hi again,
Simple message types and i use ximail30_xsd.txt from sap note as external defination
Message mapping is also simple according to SDN TV.
Adapter: Mail
Transport Protocol: SMTP
Message Protocol:XIPayload
Adapter Engine: Integration Server
smtps://smtp.googlemail.com:465
Authetication Method: Plain
User: complete email address
Mail Attributes:
From: email address
To: email address
Subject: test
Content encoding: base 64
Keep attachement: Option Checked
No other change i did, With this configuration i receive email with untitled.xml attachement which contains only namespace info (no data).
In my other try i changed message mapping and uses to create payload which michal refers by using constants(text to describe TO, from, subject) and text functions(concat) in message mapping fields.
Integration driectory setting for that
Adapter: Mail
Transport Protocol: SMTP
Message Protocol:XIPayload
Adapter Engine: Integration Server
smtps://smtp.googlemail.com:465
Authetication Method: Plain
User: complete email address
Mail Attributes: option checked
Content encoding: base 64
Keep attachement: Option Checked
With this option it gives error in RWB that no sender found

File to File Scenario - NFS

Hi,
We are busy with a very simple file-to-file scenario using NFS transport protocol.
The source directory that I enter was as follows i.e. //xx.xxx.xx.xx/directoryname, but I keep on getting a configuration error on the adapter engine with the following message: 'Configured source directory '//xx.xxx.xx.xx/directoryname' does not exist'.
What are the rules for connecting to a different server using file systems (this is not on our PI server)?
I hope someone can assist with this.
Regards,
De Wet

Hi,
>> What are the rules for connecting to a different server using file systems (this is not on our PI server)?
you would required FTP server to connect with PI. for testing purpose you can dowload Guild FTP server.
If using NFS place the file to PI Application server by using /nSXDA_tools and /nAL11
>> 'Configured source directory '//xx.xxx.xx.xx/directoryname' does not exist'.
Cross check your source directory name, file name in the sender commuincation channel.
Difference b/w NFS and FTP
NFS is used when the file folder is available on the XI Server.
NFS is used when we required to poll the files from local machines.
NFS: should be faster then FTP.
FTP: when it is at remote side.
FTP: when we required to poll the data from the FTP server which are in the remote side or outside of the firewall.
FTP: If you need logins/authorizations etc,go for FTP

Abid

Issue during File to File Scenario

Hi Folks,
    I am doing a file to file scenario in which I'm using the Transport protocol as FILE (NFS) and the source directory I'm trying to use is on my local system which is shared. But still i'm getting an error "Configured source directory '
1693.29.52.01\File\Input' does not exist" during the communication channel monitoring.
Regards,
   Santosh

Hi, santosh
rajesh is right   NFS stands for network file system which means your PI server only andf not any shared location
If you want file to be picked up from your local machine then create a FTP(file Transmission protocol ) location on your machine and create a shared folder there . this folder should have all the rights(read and write)
In your sender communication channel select option FTP in place of NFS
give details of your FTP location,user credentials then only your file will be picked
regards
sandeep
