very helpfull but i don't know how to parameterize variable of year and month.
i try with this but don't work:
SET CC=%DATE:6,4%%DATE:3,2%

dpas_zles
cd /Rxarchivio
mkdir %CC%
mget
cd /Rxarchivio/%CC%

AS400 - File adapter not archiving File and Member

Hi Gents,
Specific problem for the archiving of file/members on the AS400 system. When the file adapter is archiving the AS400 member to an AS400 archive file it is leaving an empty file structure in the origin directory. So at the end of the day we have a lot of AS400 Files with no members.
AS400 Technical folks are looking for the FTP 'script' that is being executed on the AS400 to pick up the file and archive it.
Has anyone else encountered this AS400 problem, were you able to solve it?
Also how can I see the exact commands being executed on the AS400 from XI?
Thanks in advance and regards.
Mark

Extend the trace file to Debug in Visual Admin, and re run:
 Services
 Log Configurator
 Locations
 Choose the location (Java package) and the tracing level (severity)
(for example, com.sap.aii.adapter.file)
 Root Location > com > sap > aii > File
 Set the severity and choose Copy Severity to Subtree.
Check the log file which will give you the details.
Don't forget to switch this back afterwards.
There are also quite a few OSS Notes relating to problems with Adapter Framework and AS/400...

I also tried ftp directly fron the XI server using command line and also using winftp utility. In both cases I was successful to ftp the file. The ftp server says we need to run in only active connection mode.
I wonder if any one experienced same problem and how was it resolved? I appreciate your help.
Thank you,
Balaji

Srini,
Thank you for the reposne. THe Q.26 is as follows.
Q: I have configured a File Adapter channel to connect to an FTP server, but receive one of the following error messages in the adapter monitor:
Error connecting to ftp server '<hostname>': SocketException: Connection reset
Error connecting to ftp server '<hostname>': SocketException: Connection refused
Error connecting to ftp server '<hostname>': ConnectException: Connection timed out
A: This problem is either caused by incorrect firewall / packet filter settings or an incorrect configuration of the FTP server. Also make sure that you have correctly specified the host name / IP address and port of the FTP server.
Changing the connection type from 'active' to 'passive' (or vice versa) might additionally help to work around the incorrect firewall configuration.
I was successful in transmitting file via ftp from XI box without any issues. If there are fire wall issues,command line ftp shall fail. I also verified that the file size is good after transmission. I have tried with both active and passive mode without any success.
By the way I have about 6 other ftp communication channels configured and working correctly from the XI box. Please let me know if you want me know.
Thank you,
Balaji

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.

How to Create a Flat File using FTP/File Adapter

Can any body done workaround on creating the Flat file using FTP/File Adapter?.
I need to create a simple FlatFile either using of delimiter/Fixed length. using the above said adapters we can create XML file, i tried concatinating all the values into a single String and writing into a file, but it does not have proper structure
Can any body help me out on this..
Thanks
Ram

You can create a text schema while creating a File Adapter. If schema is specified for File Adapter, it takes care of converting XML into fixed length or delimited format.

How to know file name in FTP/file Adapter

Iam new to FTP/file Adapter,
when ever we use ftp/file adpter,
afrter pick file from remote server/local system.
how can i fine filename,?
how can handling a fault,if file picked,but data is wrong ?
How we know the picked date, time of that picked file ?
please give me solution

Check this : http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E25178_01/integration.1111/e10231/adptr_propertys.htm#CHDJBDHC
Search for this topic : Table A-5 JCA Properties for Oracle File Adapter: Normalized Properties.
After the file has been picked up, you can easily fetch the file details using "jca.file.FileName" etc (see above).
Rest should be dealt by you, depending upon the scenario you have.

EOIO service on Receiver FTP/File Adapter

Hi,
I have a scenario where I would like the sender adapter to be quality of service, EO (Exactly Once), and the receiver ftp/file adapter to be of quality of service, EOIO (Exactly Once in Order). Is there a way to change the quality of service on the receiver adapter only so that it differs from the sender adapter?
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
Duke

Hi,
Unfortunately changing the QoS in the adapter module does not solve the issue. The message appears to be put into the queue prior to the module being called. Below is the audit log.
2007-10-26 09:58:30 Success Using connection AFW. Trying to put the message into the receive queue.
2007-10-26 09:58:30 Success Message successfully put into the queue.
2007-10-26 09:58:30 Success The message was successfully retrieved from the receive queue.
2007-10-26 09:58:30 Success The message status set to DLNG.
2007-10-26 09:58:30 Success Delivering to channel: XXXXXXX
2007-10-26 09:58:30 Success ChangeQoS: Module called
2007-10-26 09:58:30 Success File adapter receiver: processing started; QoS required: ExactlyOnceInOrder
As you can see the QoS has been changed to EOIO from the adapter module, but the message is still in Qos EO.
Am I missing something or is there another way this can be achieved? Can we do this in the mapping somehow before it ever gets to the AFW?
Thanks in advance.

Duke

FTP Sender Adapter, Empty Archive Files

Hi,
When I retrieve files using a FTP sender Communication Channel and I checked the Archive check box (including an existing directory), the file is archived but it does not have any content. It is completely empty.

File Adapter on shared directory

Hi,
I am trying to use file adapter on a mapped network drive, windows machine.
I am getting this error:
ORABPEL-11001
Invalid Input Directory.
The value specified for the input (Physical/Logical)Directory activation parameter has an invalid value "O:\BCRSignatures"
Ensure that the following conditions are satisfied for the input directory :
1) It exists and is a directory (not a file). and
2) It is readable (file read permissions). and
3) If activation parameter "DeleteFile" is set to "true" then the directory should also have granted write permissions. and
4) If using a logical name, then ensure that the mapping from logical name<-physical directory is correctly specified in the deployment descriptor
The location is accesible for read and write within Windows.
The error persists even with "no delete files after processing" and "no archive processed files", options.
Any ideeas? Sugestions?

Hi Latha,
Can the user your running your AS access the directory? Assuming you're on windows, by default the process manager service runs as the local system account. Try running the service as a named user with sufficient privileges on the directory.

FTPS file adapter setup fields not visible after SP13 install

After installation of SP13, I was looking for file adapter FTPS setup (fields described in SP13 release notes). I could not see any. It's just like the old adapter.
Java cryptolib is installed, and we checked it is there.
we recycled the whole thing.
Any idea what could be missing ?

Solved. We had applied SP12 file.
Note that this originates from the SP stack download tool.
We had followed the generic download process and it did not contain the SP13 tpz file.
I tried again this morning, when selecting source sp11 target sp13, The selection of packages selects
SAPBASIS12_0-10002900.zip... and not the SP13 one.
Watch out if you move two SP up !
Detailed solution :
Downloaded the SP13 zip file. the following way.
service.sap.com download/entry by app grp/sap content
process integration (XI content)/ XI_CONTENT_SAP_BASIS/ XI_CONTENT_SAP_BASIS_6.40/DB independant/ selected sp13 from the list
Unzipped, and put the tpz file in the import directory
of the repository. file name is XI3_0_SAP_BASIS_6.40_13_02.tpz
Imported it
And it works now
Thanks a lot for your help.

Changing of the timestamp in sender file adapter in archive mode

Hi,
I have a requirement where in I have to archive a file with timestamp different from that generated by XI.
Please let me know if this can be done and if so how can we handle the changes to be made to the timestamp in the sender adapter in archive mode.
regards,
Srinivas.

Srinivas,
Option 1) Create a bat file..to run the perl script you call..
Perl script..
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
print("Starter that you want to change: ");
chomp($badex = <STDIN>);
print("Starter that you want added: ");
chomp($goodex = <STDIN>);
foreach $file (<$badex*>){
    @fields = split(/$badex/,$file);
    $goodfile = ("$goodex" . "$fields[1]");
    rename("$file","$goodfile");
Run that on the os
That should fix it.........
Option 2) On your local Machine create a java file..add this code to it
public class Utils
     public static int Randomizer(){
          int randomInt = 0;
          randomInt = (int) (Math.random()*1000);
          return randomInt;
public static void main(String[] args)
     Randomizer();
save and compile..
Create a bat file to add the number returned from the random to your targetFilename
so it would be something like..
mv oldFileName Newfilename+randomizer... and also get this command written to a file..helpful later on.........
Hope that helps
Regards
Ravi Raman

File adapter with archiving option

hello,
i am using a file adapter sender with archiving option, sometimes this communication channel fail, it said not is possible archiving file...i change anything in the channel, I leave it as it was and active and then it works, what can be caused this?
thank you

Hi,
sometimes this communication channel fail, it said not is possible archiving file...i change anything in the channel, I leave it as it was and active and then it works
It shouldn't be the problem with the authorization as "unable to archive" error comes once in a while. There can be some problem with loss of network, which might be creating this error.
A detailed error message will be helpful to assist you.

File-adapter with Dynamic Directory/Filenames in Header-variables

Hi,
I have looked through the file-adapter documentation. And it says that you can use wildcards/regexpressions/dynamic file and directory names using the file-adapter-wizard. Also you can use the header-variables to specify the file and directory names at run-time.
Is it also possible to use the dynamic names using the header-variables?
I want to create a process that I can give in the file/directory-names at run-time and that it will look for a file using the wild-cards to pickup. Since at run-time I often do not know the name of the file, since it might contain a sequence or date/time-stamp. But I do know the location and the structure of the file name (that is specified at config-time).
The same question for outbound: if I specify a name in the header-variables with forexample '%seq%' in the name, like 'filename_%seq%.XML', will it then create the file with the sequence?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Martien

Hi,
I've been trhough this document over and over again, but did not find anything on how to do it actually. But I found out that the file-outbound-header wsdl does not contain a directory element after generation by the wizard. But you can add it afterwards.
Also you can replace the location attribute in the jca:address element of the adapter-wsdl by mcf properties (host, username, password) and override them by copying the values to the partnerlink using bpelx:properties.
I planned to put the details in my blog.

Martien
