FTP receiver problem

Hello,
I have read lots of threads for FTP receiver problems wiht overwriting files....
But I am not sure which is the correct solution.
We have:
- Cluster (6nodes), PI711 (SP03)
- a time stamp shoudl be in the file name
- there is dynamice filename, because first char of the filename must be set from mapping
- each mesasge must be put in a single file (not APPEND mode)
After few test it seems that files are overwriten.
I tried ADD MESSAGEID, which seems to work correctly, but with dynamic filenametimestampmsgid the filename is to long for the next application.
I saw in a note, that the cluster can be the problem....
Any idea how I can solve my problem?
Does "use temporaly filename" help?
How is it used correctly????

Hi Werner,
In Processing Parameters tab, keep the file construction mode as "Add timestamp" and in the Putfile use" Use Temporary file". This should help you...

Problem on FTP receiver adapter

Hi, All,
I have two scenarios, both from XI SAP proxy to FTP receiver. And two scenarios are running almost at the same time. I need to send thousands of messages through these scenarios. Now I got problems when I sent out around 300 messages. The messages just stuck there and don't get through to FTP receiver communication channels. I configured these two FTP receiver communication channels in one Business System. I don't if that causes the problem. Please advise. Thanks a lot.
Jack

Hi! Jack,
According to my Understanding Check once again the below steps..
1. Check both Queues regarding SMQ1 and SMQ2.
2. Another thing is got to Communication Channel monitoring and select your Channel and check AUDIT
   LOG and ADD TIME STAMP such that u can get 2 things.
         a) first of all one information that up to at what time XI got picekd the file and
         b) Also u can observe another point that whether the File got picked from Source and holding in XI or else stil the XI doesn't got picked.
3. The most important thing is You asked how to clear all the queues right ? U can delete queues in two ways.
       a) U can go to SMQ1 and SMQ2 and delete the queues there it self
       b) THere is another way to monitor the XI MESSAGES in detail view by search category in
            ASYNCH and SYNCH mode and also based on ERRORS..
Note:: In order to monitor you need to check the monitoring on SYSTEM.JSP level. Go through the below linik.
http://HOSTNAME:PORT/MessagingSystem/monitor/systemStatus.jsp
THere u can get each and every messages and u can clear the BULK of messages in queue.

Problem whit FTP receiver adapter

Hello..
i have a very strange problem.
I created 2 similar interface Idoc-XI-File (via FTP) whit file content conversion.
I configured in both cases the comunication channel but only in one case work correctly.
The second channel create the file but just whit the first field.
I check all monitor. the configuration is correct (field name and lenght). the messages in adapter monitor is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
- <ns0:MT_SPEDI_DESADVUT xmlns:ns0="http://sabaf.it/edi">
- <ROW>
- <POSITION>
<TIPO_RECORD>CA</TIPO_RECORD>
<NUMERO_BOLLA>1111111111</NUMERO_BOLLA>
<DATA_BOLLA>20080611</DATA_BOLLA>
<CODICE_AA>M0</CODICE_AA>
<CODICE_AB>MA</CODICE_AB>
<CODICE_AC>DT</CODICE_AC>
<CODICE_AD>SA</CODICE_AD> .....
but the result file is:
CACA
Configuration of content conversion in adapter is:
POSITION.fieldNames TIPO_RECORD,NUMERO_BOLLA,DATA_BOLLA,CODICE_AA,CODICE_AB,CODICE_AC,CODICE_AD
POSITION.fieldFixedLengths 2,10,8,2,2,2,2
any suggestion?

Hi.
If you disable content conversion in ftp receiver...the output is ok? does it contains all required/expected fields? try to disable the file content conversion using the same example data that does not work when FCC is enabled.

Matias.

FTP receiver adapter does not transfer (STORE) file

Hello gurus,
In my scenario I want to transfer files from server X to server Y using FTP.
To get the files from server-X I use the FTP sender adapter, to put the files on server-Y I user the FTP receiver adapter.
Getting the file (QoS = EOIO) is not a problem; I see the result is SXM_MONI.
Putting the file doesn't seem to work; I don't have an error message in SXMB_MONI but the file is not physical stored on server-Y.
When I monitor server-Y I see that XI connects with the configured user/pwd and even creates the directory when it doesn't exist but the file is not STORED.
I'm not using the BPE, this is a very simple and basic scenario: what comes in, goes out.
Can you please advice what might be the cause of the strange behavior?
Many thanks - Danny

Hello Michal, thanks for your (very) quick reply.
this is the result:
1) adapter monitoring

Any idea?

Wrong port in FTP receiver adapter - no errors in message monitoring?

Hello all
We're on XI 3.0 SP16 and have created / configured a HTTP XML -> XI -> FTP Server scenario. In the receiver comm. channel (ftp) we had specified a wrong port number and always wondered, why we never got errors in message monitoring. Everything seemed to be processed correctly... but no file arrived on the FTP server (receiver) side!
After correcting the wrong FTP port number in the receiver FTP comm. channel everything went fine.
We now encountered a similar problem with a RFC receiver adapter. We're using it in another scenario HTTP XML -> XI -> RFC to SAP R/3 (4.7).
For some reason it died (red status in adapter monitor) and it was no more possible to do RFC calls from XI to SAP R/3 (normal RFC adapter, NO proxies).
In XI message monitor everything seemed to be ok but no message arrived till SAP R/3. Nothing in any queue...
After deactivating and reactivation the RFC receiver comm. channel it worked again BUT ALL PREVIOUSLY SENT messages seem to be lost.
Is it really the way it works? Does XI integration engine at runtime NOT catch whether or not a RFC or FTP receiver adapter died, thus is not able to tell somewhere in message monitor that a message could not be delivered at all?
I'm really confused here but hopefully I simply don't understand some easy principles to take into account...
Our SAP R/3 is on rel. 4.70 with Web AS 6.20. The XI 3.0 plugin is not installed. Do we need to go with server proxies there and use QOS = best effort?!?
Thanks for some suggestions.
Best regards,
Renaud

Hi Michal
Thanks... works great for normal XML based messages!
Now, what if I wanted to pass binary files from one ftp server via BPM to another ftp server in order to enable the transport acknowledgment?
The files polled from ftp server using the ftp sender adapter are all in binary format (ARJ). No xml data in there. How should the message format look like in BPM for the receiving step? Or: how to make sure not to loose the binary content when passing through BPMs?
I need this sort of scenario because of the tansport acknowledgment and because I need to have some sort of message splitting (send the binary file over to a second ftp server and additionally send some kind of info message to SAP R/3 regarding thin binary file).
BTW: in the MessagingSystem/monitor/monitor.jsp I do not see sender / receiver information. Is this normal? It's quite of a bad thing to look inside each message in order to find out what message I'm having in front of me...
Thanks a lot for your support and patience!
Kind regards,
Renaud

Error in FTPS Receiver

Hi,
I am gettign an error in our FTPS receiver.
the parameters we use are..
Data connection : PASSIVE
Connection Security: FTPS(FTP over SSL/TSL) for control Connection
Connection ORDER: AUTH TLS, USR, PASS, PBSZ, PROT
Username and Password,
Connection mode: per file transfer
Transfer mode: Text
we are gettin the following error
com.sap.aii.af.ra.ms.api.MessagingException: Connection timed out:could be due to invalid address: java.net.SocketException: Connection timed out:could be due to invalid address
When we tried to connect to the ftp site using putty using the ip address and using other ftp clietn tools we were able to get and put files in the server.
Please let us knwo what the problem could be.
Thanks,
Vinay.

hi pinkle,
i tried to connect using the command ftp hostaddress.
it gave an error 530 SSL is mandatory.
Could you tell if there is adifferent command i need to use here and the is there a specific port as you mentioned i should use.
thanks,

Error in ftp receiver monitor

Kind people, I'm getting this error with an InterConnect FTP adapter (the adapter is on one box, the directory it reads from on another box):
Transport logs:
[IPT_FileRecMonitorError] Error in ftp receiver monitor.

at oracle.oai.agent.adapter.transport.basic.ftp.FTPAgent.getFileList(FTPAgent.java:253)
It seems to me (maybe) that what is happening is that InterConnect is not closing the FTP connections after it FTPs a file, and after a while there are too many connections open. If I bounce the adapter, it works fine again for a period of time. I also delete the log files, but don't know if that has any relationship to this. Is there some parameter in the adapter.ini file I can set, or do I need to see a Unix sys admin about this???
Thanks in advance for any insight you might be able to provide!

This was addressed in a similar TAR: 4380173.994. Here is the solution I remember:
### Detailed Problem Statement: ###
When FTP adapter has run for some time (1 or 2 days) it keeps on failing with

... 3 more
This error was already reported in tar 14948114.6. The solution back then was
to increase no of open files in server running the adapter. We have done that
but it does not seem to help (it might take some more time to run to this error
though).
POTENTIAL SOLUTION(S)
======================
Set the following adapter.ini parameters:
sender.keep_connections=false
receiver.keep_connections=false

FTP receiver channel error: No route to host

Hello,
I am using a ftp receiver channel and got the following error:
java.lang.Exception: ftp access error: java.net.NoRouteToHostException: No route to host.
The following steps are processed right:
- Connection to FTP-Server "XXXX", Folder "/public_html/external/eh/"
- Write to FTP-Server "XXXX", Folder "/public_html/external/eh/", file "xyz.xml"
- Sending: Modus "TXT", Size XXX, Codepage UTF-8
And then the error occurs.
It seems that the channel could connect to the server and start sending the data, but then the error occurs.
Did anybody know this problem?
Thank you very much
Thomas

Hi Thomas -
Is your FTP server configured for active or passive data connections? If active, you need SP15. Before SP15, only passive data connections are supported.

FTP Receiver without directory change

Hello,
we have to upload data to an FTP server which does not allow directory changes. Problem is that the directory field in the FTP receiver communication channel is mandatory so we get an error message.
Is there any workaround for this?
Thank you.

> we have to upload data to an FTP server which does not allow directory changes. Problem is that the directory field in the FTP receiver communication channel is mandatory so we get an error message.
Try to use a dot (.) as directory (means current directory).

Filename from payload - FTP receiver adapter

Hello everyone!
I have a scenario wherein I need to get the value from a field coming from an IDOC and then give that value as the "filename" of the file that is saved in the FTP folder.
IDOC > XI > FILE
For example, if /ORDERS05/IDOC/E1EDK02/BELNR = 620000123
then I want the name of the file to be saved in the FTP folder to be 620000123.xml
I understand you may use the 'variable substitution' property in the FTP receiver adapter, but subsequent attempts at trying to configure that property have resulted in errors. Can anyone help me out?
Warm regards,
Glenn

do u have recordset name (root message)
For Ex: If you want to refer to the field which is bold
below is your variable substuition:
payload:root,1,e1,1,e2,2
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<root>
<dummy>
     <e1>
        <e2>Data_1</e2>
        <f/>
       <g attr="abc">text</g>
        <e2>Data_2</e2>
     </e1>
</dummy>
<e1>
     <e2>illegal/value</e2>
     <f/>
     <g attr="abc">text</g>
     <e2 attr="fghij">Example Value</e2>
   </e1>
</root>
Similarly
for your strucutre:
<MS_MT>
<order>
      <number>
the variable substuition would be
payload:MS_MT,1,order,1,number,1
you have to give complete XML to arrive to this value.

FTP Receiver Adapter.

Hi All,
From XI I need to FTP file to outer system using
FTP Receiver Adapter
Now due to security reason my client wants to use FTPS
I checked in FTP Receiver Adapter -- there is an option
Connection Security -- FTPS (FTP Using SSL/TLS) for Control Connection.
Can I select this option and use like simple FTP Receiver Adapter?
Please tell the process/docs for it.
Regards

Use temporary file in FTP receiver adapter

Hi guys,
I'm not getting the purpose of "use temporary file" in FTP receiver adapter. Can you describe any situation, where this should be used?
What is the location of this temporary file?
Is it deleted after "normal" file is created?
Thanks a lot,
Olian

> I'm not getting the purpose of "use temporary file" in FTP receiver adapter. Can you describe any situation, where this should be used?
Some times when you create the file on your target dir then if there is another application looking for same file is quite faster to pick the file before it is complety written on target dir then in this situation using temporary file option is very helpful. What it does, it simply creates the file first by using temporary name once all bytes or bits has been transfered then it creates the original name and the temp file get deleted.
> What is the location of this temporary file?
Same location, where your original file is suppose to be written.
> Is it deleted after "normal" file is created?
Yes.

FTP Receive port not pulling files

I configured FTP receive location to pull files from FTP server. It is not pulling files and not even giving any error in event log and also provided log file location in properties.
It is not doing any thing in Production server (Biztalk 2013 (Standared edition),64bit) but same FTP configuration is pulling files in my Development system (Biztalk 2013 Developer edition).
Can any one help me how to resolve this issue.

Try the following:
Disable and enable the FTP Receive location. This could sometime help the configuration to refresh itself.
Restart the host instance to which the FTP Receive location configured to.
Give a wrong password, and see whether you get any warning or any eventlog entries.
Use any network tracing tools like WireShark which help you to trace the event happening.
Ensure you're firewall/or remote server from where you're trying to poll for the message is not blocking the file transfer. Sometimes, firewall or any network issue blocks are not reported back to FTP adapter so that it can log it as error/warning. So ensure
its not an issue due to any network related thing.
If this answers your question please mark it accordingly. If this post is helpful, please vote as helpful by clicking the upward arrow mark next to my reply.

FTP Receiver

Hi all,
I've the following example: I do a RFC call and the XI send the xml both to a mail receiver and to a FTP Receiver.
I've tried to run GuildFTP in my local machine. First times the program exchanged files with XI well but now it doesn't work. I've looked in my computer administration and the GuilFTP have almost %99 of the memory of the CPU...
Why is not running well the ftp server?
Does anybody know any other FTP Server?
Thanks and Regards!
Urtzi.

Hi Urtzi,
i used the following ftp server on windows box:

http://www.snapfiles.com/reviews/Cerberus_FTP_Server/cerberus.html
The latter supports basic authentication.
Hope this help

Nokia 112 Signal Receiver Problem

I am Using Nokia 112 (New Mobile).So many time tower is getting hide..And automatically tower is coming.In main cities also this problem is coming.I have cleaned my sim then inserted.But till that problem is coming.Actually Nokia 112 Having this type of Signal Receiver Problem? For new mobile i want to service?

You may try another SIM (borrow from your friends / family members) . Preferably you may try SIMs from different operators. This will tell you whether its the problem with your Phone, your Operator or your particular SIM. If all SIMs give same result, it may be an issue with the phone..If other Operators SIM work fine but the other SIM from the same Operator as yours do not then its Network issue. If all othe SIMs work then get your SIM repalced ..
