FTP Interruption creates 0 byte file

Hello,
When I use a receiver file adapter to send an .xml file to an FTP server I will occassionally get a 0 byte file. When I look in RTWB I see that the file initially failed and then succeeded on the first retry. Since I am using a time stamp on the file, the file name changes and does not overwrite the 0 byte file. How can I have PI clear up the old 0 byte file.
I believe using Put File: "Use Temporary File" will allow me to use a .tmp file but I'll still have a bad 0 byte file in the folder. It will just be easier to recognize.
Thanks,
Matt

Hi,
Can below thing be useful?
Select Handling of Empty Messages:
○ Write Empty File
An empty file (length 0 bytes) is put in the target directory.
○ Ignore
No file is put in the target directory.

File adapter causes FTP process stop result 0 byte file.

Has anyone ever heard that FTP adapter can cause FTP process to stop and end up with 0 byte file transferred?
We use the normal ftp script to ftp file from external file server place file in XI inbound folder so that file adapter can pick them up from that folder.
We have encounter a few 0 byte FTPed file in our system. One suspecting is the network between XI server and file server might get some interruption. With out just blaming on the network. We would like to know if there is any possibility that it is also causes by our file adapter? Says, it try to read the file that is not yet complete transferring make FTP give up transferring??
We would like to know if FTP process is transferring the file over and file adapter try to read, what will happen? Will it read file with incomplete content and ftp still go on? Or will it stop reading and return back error as the file could not be open? Or it will force FTP process to let go the file??

Hi,
>We would like to know if there is any possibility that it is also causes by our file adapter? Says, it try to read the file that is not yet complete transferring make FTP give up transferring??
have not seen the file adapter causing any such problems. So, it looks like a network issue.
>We would like to know if FTP process is transferring the file over and file adapter try to read, what will happen? Will it read file with incomplete content and ftp still go on? Or will it stop reading and return back error as the file could not be open? Or it will force FTP process to let go the file??
Am not exactly sure, but when a file is being created and the file adapter tries to read such a file, the file would be READ and WRITE Locked and so File adapter should not be able to read such a file until the creation of the file is complete.
Also, take a look at the note : 821267 , question 31 for how file adapter processes empty file.

FTP without creating files on Application server

hello everyone,
in an internal table i have around 100 records each of length around 3500 chararters. i want to send this data to the client via ftp in the form of txt file. since the lenght of each record exceeds 1000 bytes, i thought of sending the data directly to the ftp server without creating the file on the application server. is this feasible. please provide the necessary steps to achieve this.

Hi,
The FTP involves a lot of complexity but you can do the SCP(secure copy) instead. And what u can do is first create a file on application server and then u can delete it...
the sample code is below..
#!/bin/ksh
scp <filename> <destination>
rm -f <filename>

Zero byte files not transferred with FTP Adapter

All,
I am seeing that zero byte files are not being transferred using FTP Adapter (SFTP type). Is there a known bug around this? Please respond if anybody have seen this behavior and resolved this issue. I am using 10.1.3.3.0
Thanks,
Dipal

Thanks Marc,
I still have doubt if that is the case. When I tested the same from 10.1.3.3.1 windows platform and FTP being windows OS zero bytes files transferred OK. Do you think this is to do with OS or SOA version?
Thanks,
Dipal

Copy doesn't work and creates zero bytes files that I can't delete.

After installing Yosemite (I am now using version 10.10.1) I had problems copying files.
Sometimes (not always) it doesn't copy files from a folder to another using the simple cmd-c cmd-v procedure. Even if both folders are on the desktop. It creates many empty files (white icons, zero bytes) named as my files, but the copy isn't happening.
The main problem is that I cannot delete the files anyhow. If they are in a folder I can delete the whole folder and empty the trash.
It doesn't happen everytime, but yesterday I had the same problem copying a few videos to the desktop and I can't get rid of them (because I obviously can't delete the desktop folder...).
Can anybody help me? I need to be able to delete those zero bytes files that are now on my desktop.
I tried to drag them into a folder but it wouldn't let me. As well, I tried to copy the same files to the desktop to see if they disappeared, but the new files copied were renamed with 2 (ex. I had the zero byte file called IMG_0705.MOV on my desktop. I tried to paste the same file and it appeared named as IMG_0705 2.MOV).
I don't know what to do...
Thanks

Take it to an Apple store or AASP. How much it will cost will depend on their determination of the problems. To bad you didn't purchase extended AppleCare. No you don't get your money back for purchasing Lion.

Creating batch file for ftp

hi,
can anybody tell me how to create batch file which will have username and password for ftp.
i want copy file from remote server to local server using ftp.
i want to create batch file which will perform all this taks..
please help me.
thanks in advance,
Chetan S. Raut.

Hi Chetan,
You should use something like that:
Code Snippet
%windir%\ftp.exe -s:SCRIPT.TXT
Look at this link for additional details: http://www.ericphelps.com/batch/samples/ftp.script.txt
P.S. Note that this forum is about extending Visual Studio IDE - not about writing batch files.
Hope that helps,

Compressor on Intel Macs create byte reversed AC3 files

A co-vendor's MUXing application is unable to recognize my .ac3 file created by Compressor. I have a file inspection application from Manzanita Systems that also fails to recognize the .ac3 file.
I found this on the web:
- - - - - - - - - - - QUOTE - - - - - - - - - - -
another user had a problem with an AC3 recently as well. In that case the file was created with a wrong (well, it's not actually wrong but it's unusual for Intel PCs) byte order which makes it impossible for ProEx to handle the file. DVD Studio Pro sees it just fine.
If you've got a hex viewer you could find out by yourself. The first two bytes of an AC3 must be 0B 77. If they are shown the other way around then the byte order has to be changed.
- - - - - - - - - - - QUOTE - - - - - - - - - - -
I looked at my .ac3 file with a hex editor and it starts with 77 0B.
Then I looked at an .ac3 file that I created with Compressor on a G5 in back in October '06. It began with 0B 77. It was also recognized by Manzanita's MPEG-ID application.
I can't find anything on Apple's website regarding this issue. No Knowledge Base article; no update; nothing.
Whiskey Tango Foxtrot?
Anyone using the latest version of Compressor on an Intel based Mac to create AC3 files having problems sending them out to people who are NOT using DVD Studio Pro to handle the files further?
THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED NOW.
AND...
see this thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=3394982&#3394982
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4) + stuff
PBG4 Mac OS X (10.4)

I'm afraid you're right.
I just created a brand new DVDSP test project. The three new files created with Compressor work. The same files that didn't work in the project where they were PPC created AC3 files.
I was lost in many possibilities, since I had also notice that if I go in DVD SP 4 Preferences, in "Simulator" (I'm french and I don't know its real name in english...) then in "output of player" (same for my french translation) in "Audio" and that I select "numerical output - sp/dif" I have no sound played. If I select "Integrated output" then I can hear back my ac3 created with Intel Compressor.
On this same computer, with my other project, AC3 PPC created or recently created on my Mac Pro with my old A.Pack software (from DVDStudio pro 2 or 3, I think), are read without difference between these two outputs.
Finally, Do you suggest me to re-encode all my files ? or should I use A.pack instead of Compressor - maybe Apple Developpers will correct it one day ?
I'm also upset because, I has a .DTS from a trailer that was accepted and perfectly integrated in my previous DVDSP version, and that I can't use anymore !

Generic - FTP 1.0 Protocol is not creating ASCII file

Hi,
We have a requirement to create ASCII file using Generic - FTP 1.0 Protocol for outbound transactions, but it is creating Binary file now.
Appreciate your immediate response in this regard.
Thanks
Sathish

We are sending EDI data via VAN to our business partners. We have setup the FTP channel to write files to VAN FTP system. Files are getting created but in binary mode and VAN is unable to process them.
Transfer type is set to ASCII only. If i see the logs, i could see that type is ascii, is_binary is false but file.sender.type=BINARY. I have removed user id and server info fom these logs
portProperties.TransportProperties():password=file.sender.ccc=false;type=ascii;channel_mask=None;folder=;marker=false;ccc=false;file.sender.marker=false;host=;keep_connections=false;file.sender.password=file.sender.user=;file.sender.van=false;filename=abc_2010Nov23_14_37_23_088_308_182.dat;is_binary=false;file.sender.type=BINARY;preserve_filename=false;useProxy=false;van=false;polling_interval=5;user=;
Pls let me know how we can transfer ascii files.

Iweb - when I ask to publish my site ( using ftp) I am suddenly receiving this errorCan't create the file "logo.jpg." The disk may be damaged or full, or you may not have sufficient access privileges. Any ideas please

Can’t create the file “logo.jpg.” The disk may be damaged or full, or you may not have sufficient access privileges.

How much free space do you have on your hard drive? What system and iWeb versions do you have?
Try the following:
1 - delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iWeb's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
3 - launch iWeb and try again.
NOTE: In Lion and later the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

Creating PDF files using file adapter

Hi,
Is it possible to create a pdf file using, File/FTP adapter? If yes can someone please suggest how to do it.
Thanks,
Phani

Hi Phani,
I would say pdf files are binary files with a specialized format.
You can move pdf files through BPEL or ESB (i.e. file/ftp -> file/ftp), or from file to database BLOB and database to file, by importing the schema as opaque.
However I doubt that file adapter can create PDF files from a plain-text xml file, i.e. as PDFCreator would.
In a sense a pdf file is much like a jpg, mp3, or zip file, it can be passed through bpel but not created.
In other words if you have a base64Binary element in xml, that you know is the complete bytes to a pdf, jpg, or other file, you can write it out as a file using the File adapter.
Thanks
Steve

Text Content Conversion - File Adapter - Creates empty file

I am running XI 7.0.
Mapping from abap proxy to file - text content conversion.
The process works, generates and sends file from mySAP, maps through XI, logs onto ftp site and creates file, but doesn't write any data into the file!
I am really confused as to what is happening!
This is taken from the communication channel!

hi,
this is starange:)
did you refresh FTP (F5) ?
maybe you're checking wrong ftp server? with the same folders ?
ups - I thought I doens't create any file...
as suggested check your mapping as per my blog:
/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/09/16/xi-how-to-test-your-mapping-in-real-life-scenarios
just use TCODe for abap mapping tests - SXI_MAPPING_TEST

Can I create a File object without writing it to the disk?

I need construct a mechanism where I can "write" instructions to a file and then FTP this file to a remote system. It is basically a Telnet-like integration for a system that does not support Telnet. Once the file is on the remote device, it knows how to read the file and process its instructions.
I would like to logically create this File object, by that I mean that I would like to use a FileWriter object to write the text instructions to the File, then use the Jakarta Commons NET API to FTP the file to the remote system. My question: can I create this File object without the file actually being written to the file system? Can the File just be memory resident for this creation and FTP?
There could be tens of thousands of these transactions per day and I would like to just avoid any kind of deletion strategy, if I can. Thanks.

Apart from the questionable decision to try and mess with the File object, I think the answer to (my guess at) your original question is "Yes".
Jakarta Commons/Net FTP can upload to a server from any input stream you like. It doesn't have to be a FileInputStream. In particular it could be a ByteArrayInputStream, which reads from a byte array in memory.

Error 5 occurred at Open/Create/Replace File in Write spreadsheet String.vi

Hi everyone,
can anyone help me with this problem?
"error 5 occurred at Open/Create/Replace File in Write spreadsheet String.vi "
I've been using this part of the program for over a year an suddenly this error occures. But not always, mainly at the very beginning of my tests when the file should not be open.
Info: I'm using a realtime PXI-System. Maybe the amount of data can cause the problem? (about 2MB)

Hi Meike,
is the file opened by a different program? Do you try to access it by FTP in parallel to your VI?
You could use basic file functions instead of WriteSpreadsheetFile. That way you could open the file before starting the loop, keep it open all the time and close it once you're finished - with the added benefit of easier error handling…

The issue is fixed.
Our XML Publisher TMP is not defined, so it uses the APPLTMP used by concurrent manager. There is a folder xdofonts/<SID> in $APPLTMP. It contains the fonts used by XML publisher and on the of font file (.ttf) was 0 byte. We copied the ttf file from QA. And it started working.
Best practice is to define diffent TMP for concurrent managers and XML Publisher.
