File to File scenario using NFS.

Hi All,
I am learning XI and got stick in a relatively simple issue.
I am creating a scenario wherein a file from a directory on local machine say (D:/xi_input) is transferred to a directory on local machine only (say D:/xi_output).
I guess this scenario is feasible using NFS, but i m getting an error in communication channel -
"Configured source directory 'D:/xi_input' does not exist"
After reading some documents and threads on sdn, i could understand that we have to replace '\' with '/'. But even with this same error is coming. Can you feel throw an insight where could the problem be,
Thanks in advnace,
Shreya

Hi Shreya,
PI will not pick up the file directly stored on your local machine.
You have to put this file on the PI server directory.
For this, you can use the transaction sxda_tools and put the file in the required directory of PI server,
and then start the communication channel.

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),

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

cos earlier in 7.0, i would have given /usr/sap....
but now i dont think 7.1 has visual admin..so what shoud i so?
ne suggestions?

Hi Ravinder ,
cos earlier in 7.0, i would have given /usr/sap....
but now i dont think 7.1 has visual admin..so what shoud i so?
> there is nothing to do with visual Admin ..
Just give a sharable folder path to pick and post the file as you were giving earlier. If your concern is file path ask basis person to help you.

HTTP to File Scenario using URL parameters.

Hi,
I am working on a HTTP to file scenario where POST method is hirring the XI server with authentication parameters.
CAD application is trying to hot our XI server using POST Method and the application does not have ability to send XML payload to XI server directly.
So we are simply receiving parameters in plain text in inbound payload.
I need to convert this payload to XML format and am tring to work this out using dynamic configuration.
But It is throwing parser error.
BaseRuntimeException: Fatal Error: com.sap.engine.lib.xml.parser.ParserException: XMLParser: No data allowed here: (hex) 73, 75, 62(:main:, row:1, col:3) at com.sap.aii.mappingtool.tf3.rt.xparser.MTSaxHandler.run(MTSaxHandler.java:157) at com.sap.aii.mappingtool.tf3.rt.xparser.XParser.run(XParser.java:73) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:770)
Here I have to use HTTP sender adapter.
Please suggest how can I acheive this.??

Can you please help me to out how can I add prolog and epilog.
How can I change my payload to XML format.

Idoc to File scenario using Party

Hi All,
I have to configure Idoc to File scenario .This file needs to be posted in EDI Subsystem .My receiver partner type is LI.That means i need to use Party here.So please let me know the step by step solution to do this.Specially i want to know the configuration in Party Identifier and Receiver Communication channel Identifiers.
How the control record values from idoc are transferred to EDI File structure and how will XI identify one of the many customers to post the file.
All valuable suggestions will be rewarded the points.
Please send me the documents for such scenario with screen shots.

Hi,
Let me see if I had you requirement correct.
When the Idoc is sent from R3, sender partner type is LS and Receiver Partner Type is LI.
If yes,
1. Create a Party in ID.
2. The Agency , Scheme and Identifier will have values,
Agency --> Receiver Business System name or Business Service Name to be used for File.
Scheme --> ALE#LI
Identiier --> Value of the RCVPRN field in the idoc control Record. Basically the Receiver Partner Name.
All the Configuration In ID will use this Party as the Receiver Party and the corresponding Service asthe Receiver service.
No need for a sender party as sender partner is LS.

File - to - JDBC- to - File Scenario using Stored Procedure

Hi,
I want to do File - to - JDBC - to - File scenario, because I'm getting data in a file format and that data i want to load in a database. Database level i have a stored procedure. if any exceptions. my stored procedure will give the Response. so, now i want to store that resposne in a file..
for this. what are the steps we have to use. is this scenario will comes in Synch ronous or Asynchronous ? and I have searched the web blogs also. al the blogs are related to Http or Soap with JDBC . so, please give me some input help about this...
how many data types we have to create... any body having step step procedure for this...
regards
Jain

Hi,
You will need a BPM in your design as Sender File adapter does not support Synchronous messaging. Refer my answer in this thread (page 2) and have your design accordingly....instead of RFC you will have a file adapter as the ultimate receiver.
Re: BPM FILE--> JDBC--> RFC
Just take care of below things:
1) JDBC message format is as per the guidelines
[Message format for sending req to JDBC|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/2e/96fd3f2d14e869e10000000a155106/content.htm]
2) check for the format of your source and target file format (if it is a Flat-file with a xml structure that XI can parse then no need of FCC but if it is a CSV file then you will need FCC)

Abhishek

Flat File to Flat File Scenario using File Adapter

Hi Experts,
In my scenario, requirement is Flat File to Flat file through File Adapter in PI. At sender end, we would need to use Sender File Adapter (NFS) and receiver end we would need to use Receiver File Adapter (FTP). File would be coming as a encrypted format, and the file needs to be sent in encrypted format.
Any idea how to proceed with this requirement would be helpful.
Thanks and Regards
Soumya

Hi Soumya,
You need to choose the FTP in the "transport protocol" option. Then in the FTP connection parameters choose the option Connection Security and assign the value "FTPS for control and Data Connection". Then the "Command Order" will show up below that option and you could leave the default value itself. If you are using Public private key certificates of X.509 then you could choose the option "Use x.509 certificate for client authentication" and assign the values to the "keystore" and "certificate & private key" fields.
Note: To use the FTP with SSL you need to add the CA certificate to the TrustedCAs keystore view.

Vishnu.

File Adapter using NFS

Hi all
I am using the NFS option in File adapter.The file is being placed in C:\TEMP folder and in the directory path i have specified
ipaddress\TEMP but when i watch it in Adapter Monitoring it shows me a error C:\TEMP does not exist.
Please suggest if any settings need to be done.

You need to put the file on application server by TCode SXDA_TOOLS. I guess you are putting the file on your local machine.
First of all into XI goto AL11 and chose one source directory, and give this dierectory name in your CC as it is, no need to put ip address as you have done.
Just see the below example to put the file on application server (XI) directory.
The porcedure to put a file on server is as shown below:
1. Save your file in your local machine.
2. In XI server, enter the tranaction code "SXDA_TOOLS".
3. In the input screen, enter:
i) Object Type "DXPROJECT".
ii) Program Type "BAPI".
iii) Program "CREATE".
4. Press Copy (Ctrl+F5) button.
5. Now, you will get another screen in which you will see 3 blocks called as "Source", "Target" and "Copy with/without conversion".
6. In Source block, choose the radio button "Presentation Server" and then take F4 help to select your source file. (file which you have saved on your local machine)
7. In Target block select the radio button "Application Server", check the box "Remote server" and take F4 help to select your application server.
8. In the same block under "File Type" select "P physical file name" and under "File Name" write the path/directory name which you have mentioned in your communication channel along with the file name.
Example: suppose file name in your Comm Chanel is "demo.xml" and directory path is "/abc/testfiles/XML/", then in step 8 write "/abc/testfiles/XML/demo.xml".
Note: need not to do any thing in 3rd block.

Alerts-Idoc to File Scenario using BPM

Dear all,
At the sender side,I am sending 2 Idoc's orders03,orders04 Idocs I am Merging in to single at my mapping level and sending to the respective receivers.
When even some error occurs at system level or application level,an alert must be sent to the respective valid receipents.
My question is,when creating the Alert Rule how to use the interfaces(orders03,04) (here I have multiple senders).
Is Alert rule required in BPM scenario's?if not let me know how alerts would be triggered for bpm scenarios.
Thanks,
Srini

Hi,
Let me see if I had you requirement correct.
When the Idoc is sent from R3, sender partner type is LS and Receiver Partner Type is LI.
If yes,
1. Create a Party in ID.
2. The Agency , Scheme and Identifier will have values,
Agency --> Receiver Business System name or Business Service Name to be used for File.
Scheme --> ALE#LI

No need for a sender party as sender partner is LS.

File to file scenario using BPM

Hi,
Did you check in RWB--Communication channel monitoring or SXMB_MONI for the reason?
Thanks!

Hi,
The problem is when i insert the xml file in the sender directory I don receive the output file.
1) while checking the CC please check whether your file is being picked-up from the sender directory.
2) Is your file format the one that you have given in the sender CC? (XYZ.xml, XYZ.txt....)
3) See if the return code of your BPM is 0.....login to SAP GUI --> go to transaction SXI_CACHE -->select Integration Process and see for your BPM....if it is not 0 then use the Repeat Activation option (available above the BPM list).
I also want to kno why do we need to use BPM?
If you are talking about the use of BPM in this aprticular blog, then please note that this scenario can be done without a BPM also....BPM is used just to show the basic functinality.....
How to decide whether your scenario requires a BPM depends on the requirements...refer this checklist for more info:

File to file scenario using 1:N mapping

hi
i want to know that how we will do a scenario in which on the basis of repetion of one field we have to create a new file.

Hi Rinku,
in target data type put the cardinality of target node as 1..1 , then in interface mapping, change the occurance of target msg interface to 0..unbounded , then in msg mapping take the repetitive field and then use exists and creatif functions and then output it to the topmost node..........create a UDF and dynamically generate filename in it and map the output of the UDF to the second topmost msg node.............then on repetition of source node multiple target file will be generated.
Thanks,

SFTP to File Scenario using multiple files

Hi All,
I have a scenario wherein 2 separate CSV files ex a.csv and b.csv has to be picked up from the SFTP folder and the same has to be mapped and send to one single file ex c.csv.
Say a.csv contains fields Name,Address and b.csv contains Phone,Mobile and I need to map them as per FSD into c.csv which will then have Name,Address,Phone,Mobile
I am bit confused on how to do it.
Shall I use Additional File name option in SFTP sender channel configuration? In that case how will I use the FCC as we have 2 separate csv files and both the files are CSV files and needs to be converted to XML.
Any related threads will help.
Regards,
Shaibayan

Hi Inaki,
Thanks for your reply.
BPM is not an option in our case as we are told not to use BPM.
However as per the thread from Michael
"pick both files in one run (one as file, the other one as attachment - so one communication channel )
inside the mapping you can get the values from the attachment and do the mapping"
This part is fine and we can do the mapping by creating N:1 mapping but since our files are .csv files so a content conversion is required for both the a.csv and b.csv. How to go through with this.
The structure will be something like below in the message mapping after we add both the source structures in Signature Tab:
Message
     Message1
          MT_FILE_A
               RecordSet1
                    Name
                    Address
                    Field3
     Message2
          MT_FILE_B
               RecordSet2
                    Phone
                    Mobile
Can I use the below values for Content Conversion?
Document Name:MT_FILE_A,MT_FILE_B
Recordset Structure:RecordSet1,*,RecordSet2,* or we have to use MT_FILE_A.RecordSet1,*,MT_FILE_B.RecordSet2.*
And in the Name Value for Name do we need to use dot for each Document Name i.e.
MY_FILE_A.RecordSet1.fieldSeparator?

Shaibayan
