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 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 ?

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.

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 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

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 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
BR Markus

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

How to put a delay between Sender Adapter processing ?

Hi,
I'm using FTP type and I schedule the sender each 1hour. In that time, plenty of file has been added into the source folder.
The files are like this <file_name_###>.txt where the ### are a incremental number. PI can takes all of them in order thanks to this patern : <file_nme>*.txt, but when processing it takes all the file in one time.
I would like to put a delay between each file. Is it possible ?
Kind regards
Joseph BERTHE

Hi Joseph,
I need it because the receiver is a RFC adapter so I call a BAPI. But I want a unique call. So When the first file is eaten by PI it executes the BAPI, but during that time no one can execute that same BAPI. So I want to put a delay between each file.
> Delay between Sender Adpter Processing will not be possible .
But you can make the Interface work in EOIO fashion . by that your inputs will be processed one after the other .
Make the parameter "Quality of Service"- Exactly Once in order at your sender adapter level for this.
EOIO (Exactly Once In Order): Here Messages are delivered with the same queue name as in the same sequence that they were sent from the sender system. Message processing will be asynchronous in this case.

FTP Sender Adapter with EOIO for Large files

Hi Experts,
I am Using XI 3.0 version,
My scenario is File->XI->FIle, I need to pick the files from FTP Server , there are around 50 files in it each of 10 MB Size.
So i have to pick the files from FTP folder in the same order as they put into folder , i,e.., FIFO.
So in Sender FTP Comm channel , i am Specifying
Qos = EOIO
queue name = ACCOUNT
whether the files will be picked in FIFO into the queue XBTO_ACCOUNT?
So my question is,
what is the procedure to specify the parameters so that it will process in FIFO?
What would be the BEST PRACTICE to acheive it for better performance point of view.
Thanks
Sai.

Hi spantaleoni ,
I want to process the files using FTP protocol which should be in FIFO ,
ie.., Files placed first in a folder should be picked up first and remaining one next and so on.
So if i use FTP ,
Then to process the files in sequence i.e, FIFO
the processing parameters
Qos= EOIO
Queue name = ACCOUNT
would process the files in FIFO.
and to process large files (10MB size) what would be the best Polling interval secs.
Thanks,
Sai

File Adapter , Processing Sequence

Hi All,
   Can you please help me to understand these?
1. When i configure a Sender File Adapter with file pattern *.txt, Does it handle the files one after another? Or does it span multiple threads and processes multiple files in parallel?
2. If i select processing sequence as DATE, does it consider the time stamp also?
3. If a 100 mb file with name BIG.txt created at 1.00 AM,
    and a 0.1 mb file with name small created at 1.10 on the sender system. If 100MB file needs 30 min to get processed,
Then can i assume the second file get processed only after big file completely processed and reached the destination?
Regards
Ganges Leaves

Ganges,
During any polling interval, XI will pick all files matching your Criteria and process them parallely.
Even if the big file is being processed, the next file will be picked up by the adapter if it is available during the next polling interval.
All interfaces are executed independent of the other.
All this is if u choose the mode as    <b>Best Effort</b>.

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.
The original file contains data and is processed correctly. The original file is a csv and I use FCC to convert it to XML.
Anybody any suggestions?

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?

Sender adapter processing based on done file content

hi
sender system creates a done file, after the creating of actual file. SAP PO 7.4 first need to read the done file for the list of files to be processed from the same folder.
for eg:
source folder files:
xxx11092014.xml
yyy11092014.xml
zzz10092014.xml
done11092014.xml
content of done file:
<files>
xxx11092014.xml
zzz10092014.xml
<files>
In SAP PO 7,4 first need to read the done file, based on the content of the file xxx11092014.xml & zzz10092014.xml need to be processed in sap po and
all the three file xxx11092014.xml, zzz10092014.xml & done11092014.xml need to be deleted. leaving behind the yyy11092014.xml for which new done file will be created..
Could anyone please throw some light on this scenario to implement???

Hi,
Please check below steps helpful for your requirement by creating two flows and additional files.
Interface1: This interface to read the filenames from done*.xml and generate the additional files with same name with different extension like xxx11092014.txt and zzz10092014.txt for interface2 to pick.
1. Configure your sender CC to pick file done*.xml
2. Use multimapping to create multiple messages based on how many files under <files>
3. Create additional files in receiver file adapter with same name with different extension by using variable substitution.
One IDOC to Multiple Files sending to Multiple folders of the FTP using single Communication Channel (SAP XI-PI Process …
Interface2: This interface to pick files having only additional files with same namepart
1. Configure your sender CC to pick files having additional files by enabling Additional Files

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.
Thanks
