File to File scenario using Transport Protocol FTP Problem

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 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..

File to SOAP Scenario Using BPM

Hi,
I am doing File to SOAP scenario using BPM.
while doing Integration Process in IR, i got the following error message
"Expression of simple type xsd:string expected"
But i have given xsd:string in the correlation element as well as in Data types.
I dont know why it is getting the error.
could you anyone please help me to sort out?
Regards,
Sai Ch.

Hey,
Check in the correlation editor, where you define the condition.
Whether the data type of the XPath is string and whether it matches with the data type of the messages that you have selected.also make sure the type of the correlation variable is string.

File to IDOC Scenario using BPM

Hi Experts,
    I am working on file-Bapi-Idoc scenario using BPM.
    I have two conditions
1. If the Sonumber is populated then need trigger an Bapi_change
2.If the Sonumber is not populated from the file then need to trigger a Bapi_Createfromdat to create the sales order and receive the salesorder number as response from Bapi
and the response of these BAPIs should be validated whether the Bapi is successful or not.
If it is successful message then need to trigger IDOC or else should throw an alert message.
let me know the steps involved in this scenario.
can i send alert message to other email IDs or can i send it to only XI admin?
Please let me know u r inputs.
Thanks in advance
Praveen

Hey,
You need to have a BPM for this.
BPM design.
Recieve step(abstract asynchronous) for file structure
Switch Case(condition whether sonumber is populated or not)
if populated
Branch 1(of switch)
    transforamtion step:- mapping between File and Bapi_Change(Request structure)
Send step(abstract syncronous) To send the BAPI_change
Branch 2(of switch)
transformation step:-mapping between file and BApi_Create
Send step(abstract synchronous) To send the BAPI_Create
Block step(which will include the Switch step)
    trigger an Execption in case of an error(in any of the two branches) through the block
    The Exception will trigger an alert.
Now after the Block step there will be a transformation step(which will have the mapping between RFC response and Idoc)
Next is the send step(abstract asynchronous) for the idoc
In case if there is no exception the Idoc will be triggered or the exception branch will trigger the alert
rewards points if useful

File to IDOC scenario using FTP server

Dear Experts,
I'm getting IDOCs in the form of .TXT file from sender side and at reciever end we have IDOC. We are using FTP connection at sender.
I want to know:
1. Is FCC the only solution to integrate with PI or do we have any other option also?
2. What all the things I need to care in designing and configuration?
Thanks a lot.

Dear All,
For file to idoc scenario is there any possibility to get line items details or xml details i.e the segments and its related field details using reference id, transaction id or interface name or message id in SAP PI 7.0. I know we need to click each and every message in sxi_monitor and look for details.
For SAP(R3 System) I can create a report and set the job for specific time period so automatically it throws the details(like reference no, document date, invoice no from) in ftp path as .csv file. The same ftp path is maintained in program.
I wanted to check FTP--->PI postings and I have set the job at r3 system it is working fine and Im monitoring it too.
Now the end to end scenario is FTP--->PI--->ECC(R3 system). Please help.Many Thanks.

Error to Connect Oracle Files from Mac Os10 using smb protocol .

I connect my MacOs10 to oracle Workspaces using smb protocol but when I try to copy a file into a folder the system show me "error -36".
From the finder I type "apple -k" and then I write "smb://nomeserver". The system show me "User name" and "Password" and after the authentication I see "MyHome" resource on my desktop.
I navigate into MyWorkspaces folders and than I copy a file from a local directory. After a few second the system show me "error -36" and the file is not transferred from local to server.
Any idea?
Thanks

In OCS10g SMB protocol not supported, use FTP or WebDav.

File to Soap Scenario using UDF

Hi Guys
We have a requirement that said:
IF ShortDescription is not u201CNULLu201D then
map ShortDescription
ELSE IF ShortDescriptionLang with LanguageCode u201CENu201D is not NULL
map ShortDescriptionLang
So what I did is:
if( ShortDescription != "NULL")
map ShortDescription;
else if( (ShortDescriptionLang != "NULL" ) && ( LanguageCode == "EN") )
map ShortDescriptionLang;
But everytime when pressing f7 to check for errors I get thid:
C:/usr/sap/PI1/DVEBMGS00/j2ee/cluster/server0/./temp/classpath_resolver/Map0b27cd32dc2611df84e7000c2973cb67/source/com/sap/xi/tf/_MM_MATERIAL_TO_CATALOGUE_.java:441: '}' expected
Can someone suggest on how can I test this fucntionality cause one thing that I don't understand is the "map ShortDescription" and "map ShortDescriptionLang"
How do I put it on my if statement
Thanks,

Hi All
On my FILE to SOAP Scenario I awant to map a field from my Target to get a Message ID on the moni like in the code below:
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container.getTransformationParameters()
.get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key1 = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/SOAP","XHeaderName1");
String value = conf.get(key1);
return value;
My is like this:
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container.getTransformationParameters()
.get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key1 = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/SOAP","Messageid");
String id = conf.get(key1);
return id;
But the when presing f7 I get error:
C:/usr/sap/#####/DVEBMGS00/j2ee/cluster/server0/./temp/classpath_resolver/Map1fee8942e00c11df9d67000c2973cb67/source/com/sap/xi/tf/_MM_MDM_MATERIAL_TO_CATALOGUE_.java:591: cannot return a value from method whose result type is void return value; ^ 1 error
So is it possible for me to use statement like this:
("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/SOAP","Messageid");
Thanks

Test a file to fle scenario using NFS in 7.1

Hi Experts,
I have one small confusion...
when testing a file to file scenario in PI 7.1 using NFS...im wondering what path should i specify for the source directory?
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.

File to JDBC Scenario using stored procedure Question

Does anyone have an aswer (or have you seen a Blog that covers it) to the problem of having to do a table refresh before doing inserts in a file 2 jdbc scenario?
Essentially the details are as follows:
I have an input file that has all the data for a table (it's a complete table dump) of lets say userdata (username, name, hiredate).
I need to pass that to an oracle database via stored procedure(s). But before I start issuing my insert (via insert stored procedure) I have to somehow issue a delete statement to delete all the contents of the table I'm about to update. I'm on XI 3.0 and aren't sure what the best solution to this may be.
Again if there is a blog that covers this then if you could point me in that direction it would be great. Otherwise if anyone has any good ideas it would be appreciated.

Hi,
For structure refer this blog..

Use two <Statement> tags as shown here and there you may have separate tablenames.

File to Idoc Scenario using third party systems

hi,
Working with a File to Idoc Scenario. Been able to successfully define everything in IR / ID. However when I go to BD87 (reciever system) and see the status of Idoc processed - getting the error code 51 "Function Module Not Allowed: <Function Name>" . What could be the reason for this???
Have defined partner profiles in WE20 of type LS and also specified an inbound paramter in the post processing tab for partner profile. Are there any other settings I need to take care of to avoid getting that error.

File to Proxy Scenario using ABAP Class and DB Multi Connect

Hello Friends,
I have a scenario below and a proposed solution. I would like some input as to whether i am headed the right way.
Scenario: Thousands of records come in from the legacy accounting system. The fields of these records need to be mapped to SAP fields using cross-reference tables stored in DB2. Finally, summarize the records by deleting a few fields and feed to R/3.
Solution i proposed:
(1) File Adapter is used to send the file
(2) Although JDBC adapter comes first to mind but since i need to access the DB2 tables multiple times for each record i propose to use an ABAP class for the mapping. Within the ABAP class the intent is to open an database connection to DB2, read the relevant cross tables using native SQL and finally generate the output XML.
(3) Reciever is Proxy which feeds this generated XML to SAP for creating posting via BAPI_ACC_DOCUMENT_POST
Question: Is the above solution correct or is there a better method to implement this scenario?
Please let me know.
Thanks,
Minhaj.

Looks fine. Few observations -
1. Whether it is ABAP class or Mapping in RFC lookup, you are making multiple trips to the database.
2. It looks like PI is being used only for reading the file and converting it to XML.
3. If using PI is not mandatory, then a complete ABAP class on ECC it self would be faster than swtching between PI Java, PI ABAP then round trips to DB2 finally data push to ECC.
If you could look at something like fetching all the required RFC look up data in one go and then map the fields according, might save u on processor and network resources.

Error in File to JDBC Scenario using File Content Conversion.

Hi ,
I am sending a text file in CSV format, with all the configurations done in the sender and receiver channels.
But the adapter monitoring says this:
Initialization error: Conversion initialization failed with java.lang.Exception: java.lang.Exception: java.lang.Exception: Error(s) in XML conversion parameters found:
Parameter 'EmployeeDetails.fieldFixedLengths' or 'EmployeeDetails.fieldSeparator' is missing
Consistency check: no. of arguments in 'EmployeeDetails.fieldFixedLength' does not match 'EmployeeDetails.fieldNames' (0 <> 6)
One thing to note here is that
1. EmployeeDetails.fieldSeparator is given as ','
2. I haven't used any fieldFixedLengths.
Pointers in this regard would be higly appreciated.
Regards,
Younus

cross check if you have specified EmployeeDetails.fieldFixedLengths and EmployeeDetails.fieldSeparator. only one must be used.
in case you have already specified,
EmployeeDetails.fieldSeparator as ',' , then delete that line and reenter the details again, activate and run the scenario.

File to RFC Scenario using BPM

Hi,
Scenario:We have to post data 1 by 1 to SAP and also handle errors
The file will be picked by the sender file adapter and given to bpm,bpm (uses message splitting) posts the data one by one to the sap r/3 system using receiver rfc adapter.
errors could be due to connectivity..in this case we need to send alerts to users uing alert framework.
good blogs or docs or ppt/pdf explaining a similar kind of scenario, will be highly helpful.
thanks,
younus

hi
