Ftp for file to file scenario

Hi Experts,
I have a simple file to file scenario where file has to be sent to ip address 10.1.2.3 (receiver machine).
So first I tried using NFS , sharing a folde ron 10.1.2.3 , but the sender channel in XI showed error and was unable to find the path.
So I installed Guild ftp pro on 10.1.2.3 .....the scenario was nw working fine...
all was well untill I discoverd
when i had to send a file from 10.1.2.3 wher the file name was fixed with the time stamp
that when I use filename*.txt in the sender channel , the sender channel shows error in the communication channel monittoring..
further posts on sdn concluded that wild character * cannot be used in guild ftp...
ne idea on how I can proceeed further??
are there other softwares like guild ftp?
help appriciated..
Regards,
Teja

I had good experiences with WSFTP and Filezilla. You may try them.
>>further posts on sdn concluded that wild character * cannot be used in guild ftp
This is strange limitation of an FTP server.

FTPS or SFTP for file scenario. Suggstions

Hi,
I have searched blog in sdn but do not get good blogs/links.
For File scenario which to use FTPS or SFTP.

Full points will be awarded.

Hi,
1) SFTP (Secure File Transfer Protocol)
"SSH File Transfer Protocol" or SFTP is a network protocol that provides file transfer and manipulation functionality over any reliable data stream. It is typically used with the SSH-2 protocol to provide secure file transfer. SFTP encrypts the session, preventing the casual detection of username, password or anything that is being transmitted. One key benefit to SFTP is its ability to handle multiple secure file transfers over a single encrypted pipe. By using a single encrypted pipe, there are fewer holes in the corporate firewall.
SFTP:
As per the latest SAP PI/XI support pack, it does not support SFTP via File Adapter.
So alternative approach to cater this requirement from XI is to make use of Unix Script at OS level to transfer the files from/to third-party systems.
Inbound Interface - i.e. third-party system ->XI->SAP:
File is transferred to a folder in SAP XI landscape from the third-party legacy system using UNIX Script with secured protocol. Once the file is ready in the XI landscape, File Adapter will poll this directory and file is picked up by NFS protocol.
Outbound Interface i.e. SAP->XI->third-party system:
XI is responsible for writing a file into a folder in the XI landscape. These files are transferred to the third-party system by executing UNIX scripts with secured protocol i.e. via sFTP.
Pre-Requisites:
Public key should be exchanged between external systems and the PI system.
UNIX shell script has to be developed and scheduled.
Advantages:
Highly Secured.
Ability to handle multiple secure file transfers over a single encrypted pipe .By using a single encrypted pipe, there are fewer holes in the corporate firewall.
Disadvantages:
Two-Step process i.e. XI>Temporary folder>External System and vice-versa
Files have to be temporarily stored in XI server.
Multiple failure points i.e. XI and Unix script execution
Maintenance of an external UNIX script.
Difficulty in monitoring the execution of the shell script as it cannot be monitored thru XI.
Need to generate keys and install it in the SFTP site as a pre-requisite i.e. SFTP clients must install keys on the server.
SFTP uses keys rather than certificates. This means that it can't take advantage of the "chains of trust" paradigm facilitated through Certificate Authorities.
Files from the XI server should be deleted/archived in a periodic manner to increase the disc space so that it will increase the performance.
Note: UNIX shell Script can be executed as a background job or' can be triggered from SAP XI through OS command at File adapter level.

NFS or FTP for file on Ip 10.x.y.z

Hi Experts,
I have a file to file scenario up and running.I have tried using NFS posted the files on XI server usr/sap/server/test/source.xml
Now they want to see it picked up and dropped to a particular folder on a particular IP
do i use NFS or ftp?
what are the pre requisites?...ne blog?

Hi,
>>can u pls explain what is this mounting?
Mounting is equivalent to creating a map drive in Windows.
To know more about mounting check this page http://www.techotopia.com/index.php/Sharing_Ubuntu_Linux_Folders_with_Remote_Linux_and_UNIX_Systems
>>If i use ftp..what do i use for port?
he standard port for FTP communication is port 21. Also you can check this link http://www.zephyrcorp.com/unix-ftp.htm
I will suggest you to do some google and find it out yourself. You will get lot more of information on these

Mapping error for file scenario.

Hi ,
I am working with the help of this scenario to pick only selected files.
/people/mickael.huchet/blog/2006/09/18/xipi-how-to-exclude-files-in-a-sender-file-adapter
I am getting error in mapping . Everything i have checked its correct . Mapping is correct . but still its giving error . how can i solve it .
Error : RuntimeException in Message-Mapping transformatio~
Thanks ,
Syed.

Dear Syed Kumar
Based on the blog you are executing the scenario I guess. The scenario is clearly focusing on the picking up the files using the mask attribute in File Access Parameters.
As you mentioned clearly, that you are getting mapping error plz concentrate on how to rectify the mapping errors.
will guide to do so.
1. Go to SXMB_MONI and in the integration server and check for the message you are trying send.( I hope you did this)
2. As it is giving you mapping error, Double click onthe message Flag showing red.
3.Plz check the Payload XML content copy that content and paste in the message mapping Test section of IR.
4. Execute the Test. If you get the message at the receiver side there shouldn't be any error.
If you still get the error let me know.
Best of Luck

Do the Interface mapping test as well if you are successful in message mapping.

FTP to File scenario : Mail to be send on file transfer success

Hi guys,
I have a FTP Sender channel, which polls several files from a given folder. On the target system II have a FS Receiver channel, the scenario just transfer the files unchanged. What I want to achieve is to have a kind of email notification to specified recipient when the files are (being) transferred to the target system. Actually, I can put another Mail Receiver channel, but the mail will contain the payload files (XIPAYLOAD) - something that I would like to avoid - pure text notification is desired.
Best Regards,
Lalo

Hi guys,
Yep, I can send the email, but actually I am wondering how to avoid adding in the email the already read from the source FTP files, which are anyhow part of the payload. In Mail adapter settings, if I put XIALL, the whole envelope+payload will be put, in XIPAYLOAD - only the payload. What I want to achieve is to have only text mail without any attachments - is it possible ?
BR,
Lalo

Using Dreamweaver ftp for file upload to host question

My local site is set up with links relative to the root document.
The local root folder is defined as J:\xampp\htdocs\rootfilename\
I have not put anything in the field HTTP Address so it just shows http://
Once I have defined my remote site in the Dreamweaver setup I still have concerns regarding how dreamweaver will treat some of the links in my localhost testing environment, I have changed some of the relative links to fully qualified paths such as :
http://localhost/rootfilename/filename.php
So my question is when i do the file transfer how does dreamweaver treat these full links, will it change localhost to the new host name, and the root directory name to the root directory name automatically for me (obviously after i have defined them in the remote site setup)?
And what about my file path names such as my includes files which I have had to make a full path for example:
include_once ("J:/xampp/htdocs/rootfilename/includes/filename.inc.php");
Will Dreamweaver remove the J:/xampp stuff and give it the correct fully qualified path?
Thank you in advance for your help, I just want to make sure everything is set up right before I start the transfer.

No DW will not update absolute paths in your code. Absolute paths will remain exactly how you've typed them on upload.

Datatypes for File to File Scenario

Dear all,
i have a question concerning a file to file to file scenario in XI.
I simply just want so send a RTF-file to XI via FTP adapter and store it on a different FTP server according to the file name. I do not need any information for the content of the file. So I do not want to perform a File Content Conversion.
I know that it is it possible to implement this scenario without using the integration engine. But for monitoring purposes I'd like to do it anyway.
My question ist, what kind of message types I will have to choose. From my understanding, the file adapter should just store the content of the file in the payload as a binary data. So does it matter what kind of data type for the message interfaces i choose in integration builder. Of course, a message mapping is not required,
Best regards
Florian

HI,
In File-XI-File scnearios, you need to have Sender File Communication Channel to pick the file and Receiver File Communication Channel to send the file.
You can create a Data Type something like this
<DataTypeFile>
<Row> ...</Row>
</DataTypeFile>
Also look into this Blog-
XI in the role of a FTP
FTP receiver adapter does not transfer (STORE) file

--> Not required ..but you ask for FTP site if want to do file to file scenario using FTP . Default FTP port is 21 though ..
using got list of ports from the basis people to enable the ports.
---> tell them stop sending information which is not required..This is not the way of "Delivering. High Performance. "
could you tell me for which scenarios these ports have to be enabled:

File selection sequence in the FTP connection for File Sender Adapter

Hi,
I have a file to Proxy scenario using FTP connection parameters.
If there are multiple files in the sender folder, XI picks up the files randomly with no processing sequence.
I want XI to pick up the files based on the date time stamp meaning the oldest file created in the folder should be processes first and rest all in sequence there after.
I know processing sequence can be set for NFS connection but not for FTP .
Please suggest if there's any way to make this work.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks and Regards,
Amit Bhagwat.
Edited by: Amit Bhagwat on Nov 4, 2009 5:17 AM

Hi
For the Transport Protocol "File Transfer Protocol (FTP)" files are always processed in ascending alphabetical order
If you want the file to be processed in sequence then you can use Quality of Service EOIO in the sender adapter.
The files are processed in the sequence they are picked up.
otherwise use BPM for File Sequencing..
Refer the following Threads

Questions to a Mapping for IDOC-to-File Scenario

Hi all,
I want do develop a Message-Mapping for an IDOC-to-File Scenario. A SAP System sends an IDOC to the XI-System and the XI-System should make a mapping an send a XML-File to a FTP-Server. The Strukture of the target message is very easy:
<xdoc>
   <Invoice>
      @purno
      <HeaderInfo>
         <invno/>
         <shipdate/>
         <extvalue/>
      </HeaderInfo>
      <DetailInfo>
         <LineItem>
            @lineno
            <vpartno/>
            <descrip/>
            <qtyord/>
            <cost/>
            <vendmemo/>
         </LineItem>
      </DetailInfo>
   </Invoice>
</xdoc>
The source message is an IDOC. This IDOC can contain one or more positions (E1EDP01). Those different positions should be mapped into different LineItem's (see target structure) -> so in the target file one or more LineItems can appear.
Is it possible to implement this process with a common message-mapping or have I to implement a business process?
Thanks
with best regards
Christopher

Hi Christopher,
<i>Is it possible to implement this process with a common message-mapping or have I to implement a business process?</i> - This thing is possible with common message mapping......you dont need business proces for it.......in msg mapping after taking the source IDOC and target xml struc, map the E1EDP01 field to LineItem field.......just check the occurance of these nodes.....it should be 0..unbounded.........so as many E1EDP01 nodes will be there in idoc, that many LineItem nodes in target will be created.......
Thanks,
Rajeev Gupta

IDOC to File scenario with multiple directories on same FTP.

The scenario is IDOC -- to FTP (Receiver file adapter). Based on the condition in the sender IDOC say if EIDKA01-BSART = Y than the directory path on FTP server is 'A' ELSE 'B'.
There is only one reciever service defined for the FTP server in the Integration Directory. Its not multiple receiver scenario.
How do we do this?
Thanks

Hi !
Just create an UDF in graphical mapping and put this code inside:
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container.getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
//get Key of Directory
DynamicConfigurationKey keyD = DynamicConfigurationKey.create( URLFile, "Directory");
//Replace value of Directory
conf.put(keyD,dir);
where "dir" contains the destination path depending on the EIDKA01-BSART value. When this code executes, if the receiver file adapter has the adapter-specific attributes (directory) checked, then it will set the "directory" value to the one specified in the "dir" variable.

Matias

Acknowledgement for Idoc To File Scenario

Hi Experts,
My scenario is idoc to file and if the file is successfully delivered at destination then i need an acknowledgement saying that the file was received successfully.
How to achieve this. Can any body send me the scenario with screen shots.
Your help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,
Venkat

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.
