FTP/File adapter issue (polling one file at a time)

Hi,
I have come across an interesting scenario. I have a folder in which many files are placed at once (around 20+).
In my adapter I need such a logic that whenever file adapter polls the directory, it should only pick one file, wait for the specified time (in PollingFrequency interval or maybe some other way) and then poll the next file. Right now it polls all the files in one go.
Is there any property that I can use or any other logic that can help me achieve this?
Thanks.

Hi, You can use MaxRaiseSize property. Set its value to 1.

There is probably something wrong with the File Adapter. You will need to go to the RunTime Workbench >> Component Monitoring >> Display >> Click on the Adapter Engine >> More information will display and click on the button 'Adapter Monitoring' >> A new window will display and click on the arrow next to your adapter engine. This displays a list of adapters running on your system. Green light means good; Red, you have a configuration problem. Look at the error and try and resolve it.

You can have pick activity and have separate ftp adapter for each folder, but you will be using the same jndi in all pick activity.
In that way you can have multiple ftp adapter but uses the same jndi by increasing the performance.
User will be configured to a home location, example as below.
say a ftp user "adminuser" is configured to a default folder c:/ftp_files
You can create multiple folders under the same folder like below.
c:/ftp_files/location_a
location_b
location_c
location_d
For each location have a separate ftp adatper, but all of them uses the same jndi while defining the path you have to change according to the above folder.
Let me know how this goes.

File adapter issue in Linux enviornment

hi'
I am deploying BPEL in Linux enviornment, and with the file adapter read operation I am reading a test.xml file this file is internally refering to emp.xsd (files are below), now the issue is the file adapter is reading XML file even if it is invalid, this was not the case in windows XP enviornment, please advice why it is behaving like this.
Also the path of my XSD is "/home/wsfbpel/public_html/XSD" and the file has all read write permission (chmod 777 filename)

File adapter : Read poll setting is not picking the file

Hi all,
I created a soa project to read a file and load in to the database table.
File adapter to read file > Mediator > Database adapter
Is the above structure i created. While i created this my imagination is that file adapter has poll frequency to read the file i set the value to 10 seconds.
After i deploy my project i checked in enterprise manager that there is no option to test this , because test button will be disable due to file adapter and database adapter , so no inputs required here. But i feel this will automatically read the file for every 10 seconds. but its not happening.
any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Sabari

You have to have cluster id property setting on composite level and deploy. This will restrict reading twice.
<activationAgents>
<activationAgent className="oracle.tip.adapter.fw.agent.jca.JCAActivationAgent" partnerLink="readCustomersFile">
<property name="portType">Read_ptt</property>
<property name="clusterGroupId">ProcessClusterID</property>
<property name="InvoiceInboundInput" type="LogicalDirectory">/path/</property>
<property name="InvoiceInboundArchive" type="LogicalArchiveDirectory">/path/</property>
<property name="rejectedMessageHandlers" >file:////path/</property>
</activationAgent>
</activationAgents>

File adapter issue - files not processed (file name mask is *)

Hi guys!
I have a problem I never faced before. My file adapter doesn't process files in the source directory. When I put there exact file's name, it is processed. But when I use * , nothing happen. This is very strange. I was wondering, if problem can't be in that my PI box is UNIX and it's accessing Win filesystem.
Any ideas, what to try?
Thank you!
Olian

Yes, but I meant the one directory we're working in. We can write, delete there, so we should be able also use wildcards, don't we?
However, I tried it on a directory with 777 attributes. There is a file named clooo.ttt. When I run del .ttt I get Requested action not taken, file unavailable. The same for clooo. , clooo*,... But when I type del clooo.ttt, the file is deleted...
Any suggestions?

Base64Binary OSB and File Adapter Issue

Hi all,
I am converting an xml to flat file after that i want to write the flatfile to a file using File Adapter in OSB.
So using java callout we converted the binary content to base64 string and we are able to write the data using file adapter .
But the file contains as extra line in between each line which my legacy system wont accept.
I printed the base64 string in the output file and when i decode that file using the website as safe decode as text i am able to get the correct file.
So where is the problem ? File Adapter ? Why i am getting extrace line in between each line . How to write safely using file adapter.
If i use file transport of OSB i am able to write without any issues but i want to write dynamic location so i am looking for file transport of OSB.
Thanks
Phani

Hi Anju,
Thanks for the response . If i decode the base64 binary data using this website if i use Notepad++ i cant see an extra line in the notepad++ it showing as below
Its a fixed length file 1 to 513 then next line so for the file transport it showing as below
ISA ............................
1 to 513 CRLF
For file adapter it is showing as below in the same notepad++ editor
ISA..........................
1 to 513 CR
CRLF
an extra CR so an extra line .
I used MFL and converted the xml to non-xml ( flat file fixed length file) for file transport i am i created another proxy message type Text .It is working fine
Added to the above problem i have another few questions on the file transport
How can append to an exiting file using File transport ?
How to change the File directory dynamically ?

Sender File Adapter picking the same file twice

We are facing a weird issue with File Sender Adapter
We are using PI File Adapter ( NFS ) to read files for a NFS folder and
processing those in PI.Normally it works fine. But for a scenario we
are noticing it sometimes process the same file twice before archiving,
thus duplicating the financial postings.
What we have is :
File Sender Adapter - NFS, Polling interval 60 secs, and Processign
mdoe Archive. File name includes Wildcards - JE_Upload*.txt
what we are noticing is that :
when it picks up a file, it immediately polls again to check for
another file, and sometimes the file is not yet archived so it picks up
and reprocess the same file.
If you see the message below, both belong to the same file, and it
picked up the same file again in 12 secs after processing it the first
time
Successful 02.11.2009 15:01:00 02.11.2009 15:01:01 APMANUAL urn:bl:i2g:003:100

SI_SKF_FIDOC_OB XI Message
Anyone seen this behavior before?

Hi,
Please check the script which creates file in source NFS Folders. There is possibility that script is making change in file when PI is picking up the file.
When PI picks the file first time it creates one message ID in system. After that if script is making any change in file without file name change (This need not necessary data change), for PI it becomes new file and new message gets generated in PI for same file.
This error normally comes when File adapter is not able to archive file succesfully. For eg. file with same name alredy exists in Archive folder.
File adapter generates the new message id whenfile get modified(eg.change in its length or data change) even though
the file name is same and when file get change ,XI file adapter thinks that its new file and hence generate the new message id for same file.
If file has same name and notmodified then XI adapter will not generate new message id and will keep on throw the error till you remove that file with same name from the
archieve directory.

NFS File adapter donu00B4t generate log file.

Hello!
We have a problem with a File adapter. when adapter catch file, this one don´t archive this file into archive directory.
We have:
Processing mode: Archive.
Archive directory : /XIcom/INT181_GECAT/LOG
This directory is created correctly.
Someone can i help me. Thanks.
Best regards.

Hi ,
>>>NFS File adapter don´t generate log file
Do you mean you are not getting the processed files archived only when the file adapter set to NFS File system ?
Did you try same thing by setting File adapter as FTP ?
If you face same issue with File adpter set in FTP mode also then there is some issue with access to the folders.
Please check this ...

Sender File adapter not picking the file ABCD.PRN extension file

Hi
Am doing File to Abap Proxy scenario. My source will be in text format of fixed length of fileds 7.
My souce file will be generated by a third party machine with the extension EEE150809.PRN. In my scenario my file adapter should pick the file and update the same in ECC via a Proxy.
I have configured the Sender File adapter with Message Protocol - Content Conversion but file adapter is not picking the file. I have checked the Communication channel and status is fine. But the same Communication Channel works for .XML file.
What are the parameters that I have to consider with the file extension .PRN using File adapter?
Thanks.
S.

Hi Swarna,
You dont need to worry about the extension when picking the file. You can try using EEE* so that is picks all the files starting with EEE. If you have the fixed name then you can try giving EEE150809.*. Also EEE150809.PRN should not have any issue. Try to see in sender commu ication cahnnel for anyerrors. Probably there might be some network issues or authorisation issues. If you are reading with NFS then ask them to give necessary permissions. If you are reading through FTP check the user id and pwd you are using.

Sender File Adapter stop processing all files

Hello all,
the file adapter pick up all files in the directory by default.
if a large number of files are in the directory then this could slow down the pi processing.
is there any way to process only one file per polling??

I do not have any proble if you have got the answer. BUT this blog says how to exclude the other files from the same folder.
Your Case: For example, Your Sender CC wants to pick up file ABC.txt from /xyz dir, now suppose there are 10 thousand files of same name in the dir and you want ABC.txt should be picked up one by one, So how this blog is going to help you. Can you Plz explain to me and others too?
@Sachin may be you can throw some light on this... may be I am missing something.

File adapter picking up partial files

Hi All,
We are facing a wierd problem with the File Adapter.
The problem is that, we are getting the xml files from the source system, and PI is supposed to pick them up and process them. Sometimes, the file adapter is picking up the empty files / partial files, i.e., before the file is completely written on to the FTP folder.
We tried increasing the polling interval. But this did not help. Since we are taking the files from the FTP, the option "MSecs" in Additional Parameters also will not work. As we are on PI 7.0 SP13, we tried to search for the "Empty File Handling" option wherein we can make the file adapter skip the 0kb files. But we are not able to find that option anywhere.
Please help us find a solution to this problem.
Thanks,
Hari.

Hari,
In sender communication channel click on Advanced. Then you see the paramter Msecs to Wait Before Modification Check. Add a value 3000. Then you should be good.

XI File Adapter sending/receiving zip files

Can the XI File Adapter create a zip file to send outbound from XI and/or can it also translate a zip file inbound into XI?

Hi Kirk.
What you can do is use the OS command option on the adapter in order to unzip the file after the File\FTP adapter completes its file transfer to the specified path.One of my colleagues used a freeware zip app. that excepts an os command actions.
I know it works for file receiver but not sure about the sender. check SAP Note 801926 for more sender adapter parameters.

File Adapter Not picking the files

Hi All,
We have a process wherein the file adapter picks up the file from a particular location and it processed thereafter. We get the files once every month. We noticed that if the files that are being dazzled are of the same, i.e if the same nomenclature is there for the file that was dazzled the previous month, the adapter does not pick up the file. Only after renaming the file, it picks the file and processed them.
Any idea why the files that are dazzled with the same name are not being picked up.
Thanks in Advance...!!

Hi,
While configuring file adapter to pick up the files cross verify with file name putting in the directory location against the
"Includes files with name pattern" "Excludes file with name pattern" file name..
let say if u kept .*txt if picks the files txt with any name and one more think once after picking up the file from particular location are u enabling (delete file once read) option in configuration(It all depends on ur req)..
cross check the schema element of the file pattern.

File Adapter to read Zip file and send it as input to another webservice

Hi,
I have the below requirement:
1. A service will generate 3 attachments and place it in a particular directory.
2. SOA service has to pick those 3 files and send those files as input to another custom application which will email.
Design :
1. First SOA will create an archive file of those 3 attachements and then file adapter will poll for that zip file in that location and send that file as a whole to the custom application.
Query:
Now my question, is the above design feasible? If so, how to configure the file adapter to pass the file as input to that custom application?
Kindly do the needful
Thanks,
Priya

You can accomplish this via java embedding activity...Create a java embedding, which will create a zip file.. this java code is easy to implement..
You can also do away with un-necessary polling file adapter.. and you can use "Synchronous File Read" operation of File Adapter.. For Sync Read, you'll have to pass the zip file name, which you can easily fetch from java embedding activity..
Let me know, if this doesn't work.
