FTP Sender Adapter for OpenVMS

Hi,
did anyone of you use a FTP Sender Adapter on an OpenVMS System?
If I connect via FTP Client (Dos, Unix Shell or Filezilla) this works fine so far but with XI I receive the following error message:
Error occurred while connecting to the FTP server "server:21": java.net.SocketException: Connection timed out:could be due to invalid address

Hi,
Check your FTP server Address and the port number. If you are using SSL / TLS then the port numbers will change.

FTP Sender Adapter - File Order

Hi,
can somebody tell me, in which order files are being read via the ftp sender adapter when using wildcards for the filename ?
I need to process the files sorted by name. Is there any possibility to get this done ?

Prevent ftp sender adapter from tranfering files from subdirectories

I have a scenario with a ftp sender adapter. In the configuration of the ftp sender adapter I have defined a base directory "/dir" and a file pattern "*". The directory /dir as a subdirectory /dir/subdir. Now the ftp adapter transfers also files from this directory. But I don't want that. Any solution?

Hi,
I am not sure whether it is made so intentionally be SAP. However, if you wish to resolve this issue, you can specify a wild card for file names, such as the file extension (for example, *.txt).
Hope this helps,

FTP sender adapter wait sometime before processing a message

Hi,
I want my FTP sender adapter to wait sometime before processing a message. This is needed in my case since the receiver of the message cannot consume message in, say two seconds, so I would like to configure a "time to wait before processing message" in PI since PI processes all of the files in folder without waiting another poll interval time if more than one exist.
Is this possible in PI 7.0 sp16?
Regards,

HI Tarik
BPM is the solution for this problem. If you are not willing to use BPM other solutions are Adapter module and Scripts
You can write adapter module and use the threads mechanism. Thread.sleep can help you achieve this but you need to set this properly.
Another method is Unix script. Let your actual directory be Dir1 and poll PI to Dir2. Use the script to write files from Dir1 to Dir2 one by one and with time gap. This will work for you.
If you have PI system on Windows i prefer to go with Adapter module.
Thanks

FTP-Sender Adapter ignores files with "known filenames"

Hello experts,
the scenario is FTP -> XI -> IDOC and we have problems with the polling of the files. In communication channel monitoring everything is working fine, but in the FTP folder some files are ignored, although the communication channel is set up for all *.txt-files.
My question is, is it possible that the FTP sender adapter ignores files, if it already has processed a file with the same filename? After renaming the files they all were picked up and archived into another folder. How can I configure the communication channel to pick up ALL *.txt-files in the out-folder?
Best regards
David

Hi David,
What I have observed is, XI always reads files in a certain order (possibly alphabetical or reverse alphabetical). If it finds a file in the source directory that already exists in the archive directory, it will not attempt to read/process the next file (even if the next filename is completely new).
So, if any of the files in the source directory exist in the archive directory, there is a possibility that certain files may get processed and certain wont.
Make sure that none of the files that you put in source directory exist in the archive directory (i.e. all the files are new) and see the output. Let me know if this helps.
PS: I used FTP protocol

Specifying Additional Files in an FTP Sender Adapter

Hi,
Has anyone worked out how to specify additional files in a File/FTP Sender Adapter using the FTP transport protocol? This functionality comes 'standard' in the File/FTP Sender Adapter using NFS transport protocol so that additional files can been included as attachments, however, it doesn't seem to be available when trying to use the FTP protocol.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Reuben.

Yes this is available in only NFS mode check sap help

FTP sender adapter archives empty files

Hi.
I have a strange problem with the ftp sender adapter.
I receive my file without problems, and the scenario works as it should.
The problem is with the archiving of my processed file.
It writes the file fine to the path specified, but it is empty (user has full file permissions)
The ftp adapter uses content conversion, and I have seen threads in the forum that tells about simular errors. But I have found no solution.
Hope someone can help here.
Regards...
Peter

File Content Conversion is usually associated with Receiver File/FTP adapters
and Archiving the source file is an option at the Sender File/FTP Adapter.
No, content conversion is used both in sender and receiver file/FTP adapters.
In my case, it is in a sender adapter!
I'm not sure what you mean when you said "The ftp adapter uses content conversion,..."
The sender FTP adapter content converts a flat file to XML format!
Can you let us know the details of your scenario?
Like who / what is the sender and who/what is the receiver system?
The scenario looks like this: "FTP -> XI -> RFC", but as mentioned before, the scenario works fine, the problem is in the FTP sender adapter that fails to save the archive file.
If I try to use the file/FTP sender adapter in "file mode", with the same parameters, the archive file is written just fine!

FTP Sender Adapter - Processing Sequence

Does anybody know what the processing sequence of files is when I using a ftp sender adapter? I can only determine this if I use a file sender adapter (NFS).

Hi,
in sender file ( FTP ) adapter:
when qos :eoio
the sequence the msg processess will be in ascending alphabetical order.
ex: if i have 10 files in a folder
as per the my requirement all the 10 files are picked up at the same time, then
the files will be arranged in queue specified in ascending alphabetical order and processed in the same order.
but, when i use QOS: EO
the same thing is going to happen right!!
picks all the files , processess in ascending alphabetical order to xi..
then what is the use of queue here in eoio???
on the other hand,
in sender file ( NFS ) adapter:
file will be processed based on the processing sequence( either by date or time ).
so both EO and EOIO use the processing sequence... then wat is the work of queue here in EOIO MODE.. any way they are processed according to the proccessing sequence parameter.. ???
Please reply..

FTP VAN Sender adapter for Sterling Commerce

Hi,
I have configured an FTP VAN sender adapter from Seeburger. I am trying to connect to Sterling Commerce VAN and have configured all the parameters as what have been described in the Seeburger manual for FTP/VAN adapter. I am using a custom script as I need to change the mailbox for the polling to take place. Below is my custom script:
open [@Key=HOST] [@Key=PORT] [@Key=USER] [@Key=PASS]
cwd SD150xxx/
type [@Key=TRANSFERTYPE]
prompt
mget *
close
I configured the comm. channel to use this custom script as:
file:/temp/script.sh
When I activated the comm. channel and open the comm. channel monitor in RWB, all I get is this message:
Adapter has been started. (xxxxx) as node: xxxx
The polling did not take place although I think I've configured them correctly. The file from the mailbox is not being picked up by the comm. channel. Do you have any idea how to get this to work? FYI, I managed to configure the FTP VAN receiver adapter correctly and it worked. I just have problem with the sender channel but I did not know where I went wrong as the status in RWB did not state any error to the configuration. Pls help.
Thanks.

Issue solved.
We need to configure something in the Seeburger Workbench-Resource Management-Resources. The incoming channels need to be set to be greater than 0. The Seeburger FTP VAN adapter now works as expected.

SAP PI FTP sender adapter not working with SAP ECC over Itanium

Hi,
We have been running normally SAP PI 7.0 SP14 with no issue for a while.
We are now in the process of migrate the SAP ECC system from PA risc to IA platform. We are performing some tests between SAP PI and SAP ECC to check that the platform migration is not affecting us in any way and we have found that FTP adapter sender is not working anymore (receiver is working as usual).
We place some files in the new ECC system and when PI goes to retreive the files it is like it can not read anything. It gives no error but it does not pick any file. This is not happening with the old platform.
Does anyone have any idea?
Thanks a lot for your help
Diana

Hi,
I am using FTP connection and for the receiver it is working fine.

Problem in file sender adapter for newline character

Hi All,
I'm trying to read a file of only one record with the following fields.
Name
Age
Place
Each field is seperated by a new line which is the cause of the problem.
The problem is the value 'nl' for x.fieldSeperator is not been recognised in file sender adapter.
The adapter creates a new record (new XML) for each individual field seperated by new line.
I've tried even with the corresponding hexadecimal values '0x0a' and '0x0d'.
Looking for some help.
Thanks,
Joe.

Hi Shabarish,
Thanks for your reply. But I tried that too already... It also didn't work..
File adapter is successful... But it generates seperate records for each fields that's wat the prob is..
Thanks,
Joe.

Mail Sender Adapter for Exchange 2007 IMAPS account

Hi everybody,
I have the following todo:
I configured a Mail Sender Adapter that is supposed to fetch mails from an IMAP account.
The mails contain text files with data to be processed by XI 3.0 SP 22.
The mail server is Exchange 2007 and requires IMAPS. IMAP is not enough. I read the notes
- 893590 - XI 3.0 Mail sender adapter with IMAP or POP with SSL problem
- 856599 - FAQ: XI 3.0 / PI 7.0 / PI 7.1 Mail Adapter
and configured the sender apapter as follows:
URL: imaps://<ip address>/owa
Authentication method: Plain
User: <domain>\<user>
Password: topsecret
Poll Interval: 5
The first challenge is to setup the adapter with SSL. To do so, I added the Exchange server's
root SSL certificate in the default truststore service-ssl via the KeyStorage service.
This is necessary, as far as I know, to successfully validate the Exchange server's trusted
certifacate which is being transfered to XI during SSL handshake.
Since the communication channel in RWB is in status error with following message:
mail client job stopped completly
exception caught during processing mail message; java.io.IOException: invalid IMAP status response; not finding * STATUS, but 001I NO owa doesn't exist.
mail client job scheduled,
I do not know how to setup SSL for IMAPS. I successfully tested a PING to the Exchange server.
Are there already experiences with Exchange 2007?
What I have to do to fetch mails from an Exchange 2007 IMAPS folder/account with a Mail Sender Adapter?
Kind regards,
Andreas

Hi,
It should be imap and not imaps.
You can try imap://xxx.xxx.de:993/Inbox
Make sure that port 993 is correct. If you have doubt, then you may try 143 which is default port instead of 993 in the above url.
regards,
ganesh.

How to configure FTP/VAN Adapter for SFTP connection?

Hi,
I am new to the use of Seeburger's FTP/VAN adapter. I read SDN threads where the FTP/VAN adapter can be used for SFTP connections. Could anyone assist me in the steps to configure the communication channels for SFTP connections?
Scenarios:
1. R/3 -> XI -> File (SFTP server)
2. File (SFTP server) -> XI -> IDoc
There is no VAN connection involved. I am just trying to utilize the adapters my PI system currently have for my interface requirement.
Is the configuration as simple as configuring the communication channel or there are scripts involved? If there are scripting involved, is there a benefit to use scripting in the FTP/VAN adapter, rather than XI's own File adapter?
Please assist. Thank you.

Hi Andrew,
Standard PI Adapter will not support to conenct SFTP server, we have to use third party adapters?? do you have any third party adapters??
many compniaes providing SFTP adapters and SAP PI Supports to.
if you dont have third party adapter we do have other alternative , refer below blog

Getting dynamically a specific file in FTP sender adapter

Hi all,
I'm getting an idoc in a BPM and there's a field with a file name, which is the one I have to read in the following step.
I'm not sure this is possible, but I'd like to hear from the PI community...
The problem is that in the usual FTP sender comm channel, I have to specify in configuration time the folder and the pattern of the file names to be read. And in my scenario I only know that in execution time (that's possible when the FTP channel is receiver though).
Thanks

Oops!! I misunderstood it
At sender, neither of them would work. In fact, there is no other direct options at sender. You have to specify the filename. As Udo suggested, you have to create multiple channels.
Still if you could explain your BPM configuration, some solution may turn up. You said you are receiving Idoc in BPM and a file too?

Prateek
