File - Webservice - File

Hi All,
I am trying this simple scenario:
1. read file
2. pass input towards webservice
3. write response into file.
BPM seemed the correct solution for this.
However, if I try to create the interface mapping, the integration builder start complaining that I am mapping an asynchronous interface towards an synchronous interface and that is not possible.
Any-one an idea how I should solve this problem.
Thanks in advance
Kind regards
Joris

you have to deal with abstract interfaces only in the bpm.
Let's call BSFILE the business system/service reading and writing to file, and IP1 your Integration Process (ccBPM), so in the ID you'll something like:
BSFILE -> Outbound Aysnch
going to
IP1 -> Abstract Asynch (web service request)
and
IP1 -> Abstract Asynch (web service response)
going to
BSFILE -> Inbound Asynch
In your IP1, these steps:
- receive asynch
- tranformation, mapping file to ws request
- send synch to ws
- tranformation, mapping ws response to file
- send asynch
That should work!
Regards,
Alex
P.S. In ID, I was missing an important thing:
IP1 -> Abstract Synch (web service call)
going to
WSP -> Synch
where WSP is your web service provider with the relevant channel

Error in file-webservice- file (Error: java.lang.NullPointerException)

Hi everybody,
I have configured a file-webservice-file without BPM scenario...as explained by Bhavesh in the following thread:
File - RFC - File without a BPM - Possible from SP 19.
I have used a soap adapter (for webservice) instead of rfc .My input file sends the date as request message and gets the sales order details from the webservice and then creates a file at my sender side.
1 communication channel for sender file
1 for receiver soap
1 for receiver file
Error: java.lang.NullPointerException
What could be the reason for this error
thanks a lot

File-webservice-file , error in BPM workflow

Hi GURUs,
I am working on file-webservice-file scenario. I have followed the blog /people/arpit.seth/blog/2005/06/27/rfc-scenario-using-bpm--starter-kit . In my BPM workflow I am getting error right at the receive step it self and not proceeding to next step. Error in workflow log saying, no proper message id for the outbound abstract interface. Main thing here is we dont have any value passing fields in our outbound request message type as well as in the request in the wsdl. In these two emssagess we have only on element hich is not of any type. Is this the reason for the error I am getting.
any help ill be appreciated,
Regards,
Reyaz

Means, in the outbond request message type and the request message type in the WSDL . in these messages we dont have a single field which can carry some value. We have an element which is not of any type like string , number etc..

Reyaz

Need inputs for FILE-Webservice-File using BPM scenario

Hello All,
can any one tell me how to do the file-webservice(soap adapter)-file with out BPM.
If we cant do with out BPM then, please let me know after importing the WSDL file, how many Message interfaces i need to create what are they.
Thanks and Regards,

Hi Chinna,

Sender side File adapter configuration is as usual
> please let me know after importing the WSDL file, how many Message interfaces i need to create what are they.
It is a synchronous scenario so you need to create the two message interfacess for the sender (one is for request message and another is for response message). For receiver you don't need to create any message interfaces, because the WSDL internally having the two messages (request and response).

Transformations using BPM - File -webservice-merge-File

Friends,
I have a requirement something like this.
1. i get the file through the sender file adapter
2. one field out of those sent by the sender will be used to make a webservice call to get dateofbirth and name details.
3. i need to merge these data (from file + webservice response) and send it to the receiver using FTP
Can you please elaborate as to how we can achieve this?
Thanks and Regards,
Pavan

Error in File to File scenario

Hi All,
im trying out the file to file scenario [binary file using file content conversion]from SDN Wiki:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/wiki?path=/display/xi/main&
On the runtime workbench, adapter engine is in red/error status due to error in the receiver comunication channel.
The sender communication channel is working fine. During testing, my file is being picked up and deleted(processing mode set to delete).
I am able to see the msgs in sxmb_moni and in Message Monitoring, the status is delivered.
However, the receiver channel does not show any error msgs at all.
Yday when i tested , i got the foll error msg:
Conversion initialization failed: java.lang.Exception: java.lang.Exception: Error(s) in XML conversion parameters found: Parameter 'EMP.Contacts.fieldFixedLengths' or 'EMP.Contacts.fieldSeparator' is missing
However tdy i dont see any new error msgs during testing (no changes made to the recvr channel).
Given that the sender communication channel is wrking, can i safely assume that file adapter is wrking fine. If not, how do i check the status of the file adapter [in RWB, i can see the file adapter and various other adapters(with a grey diamond icon next to them). how do i interpret the status of the adapter?
Would really appreciate if anyone can advice on how to troubleshoot this?
Many thanx!
cheers
Prachi
I hv tried doing a full cpa cache refresh.

Hello Prachi ,
I thinks its because of receiver File Processing Parameters,as you are considering here File Content Conversion.
If your structure is like this
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ns1:Proveedor_100011 xmlns:ns1="http://sap.com/xi/webservices/buyordint">
<config>
<directory>c:/tmp</directory>
<filename>dynamicFile3.txt</filename>
</config>
<root>
<string>Header;423423</string>
<lines>
<value>LINE;</value>
</lines>
</root>
</ns1:Proveedor_100011>
Then your content conversion is -
RecordSet Structure: config,root
root.fieldSeparator = ;
root.endSeparator = 'nl'
config.fieldFixedLenghts = 0
config.fixedLenghtTooShortHandling = CUT

Step by Step Guide Details for RFC to File and File to RFC scenario

Hi Guru's
Good day to you. I am tyring to develop some scenarios based on RFC adaptor. so i want to start up with basic scenarios like RFC to File scenario(Here i just want to pull some data from SAP using RFC and put it in destination folder as an text file) and FILE to RFC scenario (Here i just want to take some data from the file and update into SAP).
For doing these scenarios i would like to request you people to send me the step by step guide which explains me about the complete steps of configurations required to do the RFC to FILE scenario and FILE to RFC scenario.
I found some scenarios and i am in confused state. so i request you to please put your experience to help me out.
thanks in advance.

Hi Aaron,
I don't know your scenario and your ECC and PI versions but I learned how to use ABAP Proxy more than 1 year ago with the following tutorial:
Edit--> The forum doesn't allow me to post external link, just search "ABAP Proxy Communication Scenario" in google and visit the 1st result
The way to develop ABAP Proxys has changed a little if your PI is 7.1. In the ECC side, the transaction SPROXY looks much better too if you have a recent version of the ECC.
Edited by: Marshal on Oct 8, 2009 5:08 PM
I've found that SDN Document. Maybe the scenario is not the most simple to start with ABAP Proxy but is very well documented and is for PI 7.1. The document also handles the inbound and outbound proxys

Error reading product file driver files

When attempting apply a large merge patch I receive the following error:
Screening out files not valid for this installation...
Determining valid on-site files...
AutoPatch error:
The following file is missing:
/oracle/prodappl/pa/11.5.0/admin/driver/pasb038.drv
AutoPatch error:
Error reading product file driver files [complete; make tapes]
AutoPatch error:
Error determining valid on-site files
Any ideas?
I've tried using options=noprereq option, but that didn't help.

- Try to restore the file from a backup you have Or just copy it from any other environment.
- Make sure that you have included all pre-req patches in the merged file.
I've tried using options=noprereq optionBy this you tell adpatch not to check for pre-req, use 'options=prereq' instead.

Now that I'm a paid up supporter Maybe you will fix Firefox and return "Close File" to File on the menu toolbar.

I just degraded from Firefox 3.6 to 9.0.1 and found that one of the most useful tools is missing. On the Menu toolbar under File, "Close File" has been eliminated. Why? Why do I have to close the site I was looking at and go back to my Firefox home page and start all over? Why was "Close File" eliminated? It was one of the most useful tools in Firefox. I'm hoping I haven't gotten rid of the CD that has 3.6 install on it so I can upgrade to a great version of Firefox.

Some menu entries in the main menu bar are hidden if you use the mouse and only appear if you use the keyboard to open the menu (Bug 626825).
You can see the difference if you use Alt+F to open the File menu or other menus like the Edit menu (Alt+E) and Bookmarks menu (Alt+B) and compare that to what you see if you use the mouse to open the menu after you have made the menu bar visible by tapping Alt or by pressing F10.

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.

File-RFC-File (without BPM)- Issue

Hi All,
I am working on a File-RFC-File (without BPM) scenario in PI 7.1.
My scenario is having few problems like, its not able to delete the file from the source directory path (for which we have delete permissions) and it is an NFS system and it shows an error in the Sender file CC.
"Error: com.sap.aii.af.service.cpa.impl.exception.CPAObjectKeyException: Value of key must not be null: ObjectId"
But it gets processed successfully and provides a written paramter which I could see in MONI, but again doesn't write the file in the target directory. Could you please provide your inputs and let me know if I need to do any additional settings w.r.to PI7.1.
These are the parameters which I have specified in the Sender File adapter
Processing sequence
AF_Modules/RequestResponseBean     Local Enterprise Bean     1
CallSapAdapter     Local Enterprise Bean     2
AF_Modules/ResponseOnewayBean Local Enterprise Bean     3
Module configuration:

Store \ Retrieve files from file system

Hi to all!
I would like to implement a solution for storing files uploaded via apex user interface to servers file system. As well I would like this files to be retrievable by apex users. I designed the following solution:
For upload:
1. Through file browse item user chooses file to be uploaded
2. File goes to custom table (as BLOB)
-- so far i would use apex Upload\Download files tutorial
3. File(BLOB) would then have to be written to file system to some directory and file id would have to be written to some db table which holds pointers to files on file system
4. delete file(blob) from custom table (from step 2)
For download:
1. user chooses link from some report region(based on table giving file pointers to files residing on file system)
2. file identified with chosen file pointer is then inserted into blob column of some custom table in db
3. from custom table with download procedure fie is finally presented to user
4. delete file(blob) from custom table (from step 2)
Using apex tutorial for Upload\Download files it is straitforward to get the files from db table or into db table using blobs. But i have not seen any example of using BFILE or migrating files from db to file system and vice versa.
So some Q arise:
a) How can I implement step 3 under For upload section above
b) How can I implement step 2 under For download section above
c) Is there any way to directly upload file to file system via apex user interface or to directly download file from file system via some report region link column?
Please help!!!

Unable to delete File in file system

I have built an explorer just like a Windows explorer. I am not able to delete individual files. but the files in a folder can be deleted. How should I proceed?

Madam, we wouldn't be able to help u unless u tell us in detasil or post ur code...Anyway, Any File can be deleted by Following Procedure.
