FTP sender channel filename issue

Hi ,
I have created a sender FTP channel with Filename Smart_*.csv.
But channel is not picking files from FTP server, even not working for *.csv.
Although when I have mentioned the complete filename in channel, its picking the file from server.
Please guide.
Thanks & Regards,
Nida

Hello,
>>Only * is also not working
Strange...I was searching SDN and found these two links describing the same issue which u are facing now...You can try to implement Mugdha's reply and see if it works?

JDBC and FTP sender channels stop polling

Hi,
We have a great volume of sender JDBC and FTP sender channels.
For this reason there is nothing unusual to have temporary error connections.
Several months ago, with an XI 3.0 system, sender channels recover its functionality automatically when temporary error connection is solved.
But now, he have migrate to a PI 7.1 sytem, and in the same scenario and configuration, sender channel stop polling after a temporary error . In cc monitor this channels remains in green status and there were no signs of stopped interfaces.
Timeouts are correctly defined and there is no difference between channel configuration in our Xi and PI system.
How to solve this problem?
Thanks, in advance.
Carme.

Thanks for your fast response, Stefan.
After writing this post, i ask the same question to our basis team and we are in the latest sp.
¿do you know if there is any note or can you provide me some additional information?
I'm not able to find any note about this issue...

FTP & Wildcards (File adapter issue) - asterisk not working

Hi guys!
We need to use FTP sender adapter and we need to pick up all files present in the directory. Normally we would use asterisk (*), but the adapter is not processing the files. It behaves like the directory would be empty.
Do you use wildcards in FTP sender channel? Is it working for you?
Thanx! Olian

Hey Olian
>>worng file list generation
whenever you give any wildcard character for filename first of all a file list is generated,this file list contains names of all the files in the source directory(if you have given *) or names of files which satisfy your selection criteria(if you have given?).
once the list is generated then the files are picked up based upon the list.
to me it looks that this list is not being generated and due to which you are unable to pick the files using wildcard.
There could be other issues too but i m not sure about them
Thanx
Aamir

SAP XI File Adaptor (FTP mode) Sender Channel FTP commands

I have a service set up to communicate via ftp to an external partner. Their FTP server is secured to a point that I am unable to connect with normal settings. They claim that the FTP server follows the RFC 959 standard and therefore we should be able to connect and extract a file from their server. Not happening!
The question:
What are the exact ftp commands issued by a Sender channel configuration to an external FTP server? I have all the usual setting: user/pass/path/server/file (with wild card).
I can not find a definitive listing of commands issued by the file adapter in ftp mode to the remote ftp server. Not just a listing but an actual flow of commands issued would be useful.
Would appreciate some help/direction.
Thanks,
Mike

Hi Michael,
Please look at the FTP Server parameters...
1) if you have given the uncheck the anonymous login they can connect with out giving the username and password to connect to the FTP server...please check this paramerter and also make sure that if are mainting the username and password it should be the same they are using to access the FTP server.
2) Please check the port and ip address
For more information i would suggest you to look at the following link:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/0b/9a50465ccf84479e39a6d50c90fb3f/frameset.htm

File Sender channel stopped polling on FTP site

Dear all,
We have many file to Idoc interfaces running in production and all are they good.
Yesterday we faced one issue, one of the interface's sender communication channel stopped polling and didn't picked the files from FTP.
There was no error on communication channel monitoring and it is green.
We stopped & started the channel then started picking the files. But this is not usual behavior of file adapter.
We found one SAP Note 1083488, according to this note, we are in the latest SP level( PI 7.0 SP 14). So not required to apply this patch my case.
What should i do to not to face next time

Hi Bhavana,
Check the below Q & A.....
>> Q: After configuring a large amount of File Adapter sender channels, the J2EE Engine becomes very slow and some services start to block. How can I solve this issue?
A: Up to and including XI 3.0 SP13 each File Adapter sender channel permanently consumes a J2EE application thread. To solve this issue, increase the number of configured J2EE application threads using the SAP J2EE Engine Config Tool ("cluster-data" -> "Global server configuration" -> "managers" -> "ApplicationThreadManager" -> "MaxThreadCount").
Starting with XI 3.0 SP14 / PI 7.0 application threads are allocated on demand by the File Adapter and returned to the thread pool after it has finished the polling sequence, so thread shortage situations will typically occur much more rarely than with earlier SPs.
Also as said by Other SDN'ers check the locks.
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

Riyaz

Issue while fetching the file through *.extension by FTP sender file adapte

Hello Experts,
I am facing a issue while fetching the data through sender File adapter with ' *.file extension' .I am illustarting the scenario as below .
It is a simple scenarion of File to File inboumd scenarion.Here file is getting picked up from a third party system
through FTP sender chanel and stored in a temp folder of PI through NFS rceiver file adapter .
The problem is however I am getting, while picking the file with file name as "*.exo"(where exo is the file extension).
But while fetching the file with particular name like"abcd_10032011*.exo"(file naming has been done by combination of abcd(always same)_currentdate(change according to current date)),file picked successfully .
So here ,in the prior case file not getting picked up,but in later case it dose .
Can anyone please let me know what might be the issue?

Hi Sunit,
Connect from your PI System to 3rd Party System (where are placed the Source Files)
FTP <PartySystemHostName>
eg. FTP 10.2.3.456 (then insert Username & Password to Login)
Go to source directory
cd \<SourceDirectory>
eg. cd \donaldduck\directory\
Execute a File List command
ls -la *.<extension>
eg. ls -la *.exo
In this way you should be able to view all files with this extension (*.exo), the same action that Sap XI perform to pickup the file.
Then, try to copy that file to your Local PI System (to check if there're some permissions issue):
mget <filename>.exo
eg. mpget File1_01012011.exo

Issue with archiving in file sender channel

Hi Experts,
We have configured a file to ABAP proxy scenario in our production PI 7.0 system. the file sender communication channel is configured to perform " file content conversion" and archive the source file after it is processed successfully.
Recently , the sender channel stopped archiving the files. but it is processing them.
we need the source files to be archived. i do not see any related error in XI logs and default trace files . also it is not a problem with disk space on file system either.
can you please let me know how the issue can be resolved.
Thanks.

Hi
Make sure that you have selected processing mode Archive
Try by Checking Add Time stamp check box.
Check the Archive File path in correct format
or put archive file in diffrent folder from which selecting file.

Sender FTP communication channel

Hi experts,
We have had the following problem twice with two different comm channels:
A sender FTP communication channel stops polling for no apparent reason. There were no errors and the status remained green. After I stopped and started the communication channel in the runtime workbench the adapter picked up all the remaining files and processing finished ok.
Anyone had this problem before? Any ideas for a solution?
Thx,
Philip

RFC Sender Channel Issue : STFC_CONNECTION

Hi All,
There has been an issue with the RFC sender channels. When SAP triggers the data, we see an error in the RFC sender channel as below
Error in processing caused by: com.sap.aii.af.rfc.afcommunication.RfcAFWException: senderAgreement not found: lookup of binding via CPA-cache failed for AdapterType RFC, AdapterNS http://sap.com/xi/XI/System, direction INBOUND, fromParty '', fromService '<ServiceName>', toParty '', toService '', interface 'STFC_CONNECTION', NS 'urn:sap-com:document:sap:rfc:functions' for channel '<ChannelName>' (channelId 7f84f67e7efe39949dc12a2f569236fb)
But the data gets processed at the very next moment.
Program ID used in the channel is same as the ID registered in SAP. Is there some configuration missing either at SAP PI or SAP R/3 system?
Regards,
Prajeet

Hi Prajeet,
please refer this wiki [link |https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/XI/RFC+Faqs?showChildren=false]Q19,hope this helps.
Check if you are using the same program ID in multiple scenarios. May be if you keep different the program ID names in different RFC adapters, it should resolve the error.
also check here :/people/danny.deroovere/blog/2008/02/26/change-client-in-scenarios-with-sap-business-system

Control filename structure with FTP internal channel

Hi,
Can I change the output filename sttructure when I use a FTP internal channel?
Today I get the filename BAS_1190045705541.dat which I guess is structured as
filename := <FromTP><underscore><Epoc Timestamp><".dat">
I would like to have
filename := <FromTP><underscore><Epoc Timestamp><messagereferencenumber><".dat">
Thanks!

Hello Orjan,
Right now in 10.1.2.0.2 the outbound file name is pretty much fixed as tpname_uniqueID, however there is plans to enhance it in the subsequent release based on the user defined pattern.

Jdbc sender channel memory size issue

Hi Experts,
We are facing the below error in connect to jdbc sender channel from XI . Could anyone of you suggest me the right action to be taken in this regard.
Database-level error reported by JDBC driver while executing statement 'select * from*********where posted = '0''. The JDBC driver returned the following error message: 'com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerException: The system is out of memory. Use server side cursors for large result sets:Java heap space. Result set size:614,143,127. JVM total memory size:1,031,798,784.'. For details, contact your database server vendor.
Appreciate your quick help.
Thanks & Regards,
Ranganath.

Regulate the number of records returned by Select statement for permanent fix.
Few more things....
a)If you want to select only some fields, then dont use Select * from table. Rather specify select a,b,c from tablename
b) specify some flag in the table so that read some records each time and in the update statement update the flag for those records already read. So that you will not reread the same records in the next message.
Hope you understand.
c) Increasing java heap size is temporary fix.

Physical Filename Issue ( got past this ) and New Invalid Guideline Issue

I had a problem ( from before ) getting a file called --> test_oracle.edi into the system. I am using a set up of EDI X12 over Generic Exchange together with FILE 1.0 protocol.
The file has a sender of ACME and a receiver of GLOBALCHIPS, which to be parsed correctly from the b2b.log file; however, the system had problems finding the TPA, since at this point, its FROM PARTY was set to "test".
I renamed the file from above to --> ACME_oracle.edi, and I now got past this issue, but now have a new --> invalid guideline problem, as seen in the b2b.log file.
Note that a filename of --> ACME.edi also fails.
Can someone tell me if there is a restriction on filenames and secondly can someone help me out on this --> "invalid guideline" issue.
I have emailed SANKAR my EDI file together with the b2b.log file.
I need to get past this stage, and into SOA.
Thanks as always.
Arthur (203-921-5925)

Arthur,
Some findings that I can share with you on this-
When using Generic Protocols like File and FTP you may want to set the following property in tip.properties file
oracle.tip.adapter.b2b.allTPInOneDirectory - If set to true, it identifies trading partner based on File Name, if false, then identifies trading partners based on FolderName.
The logic behind it explained well by Ramesh in an old post, probably you could dig-it up on the Forum.
But its surprising that you are getting an invalid guideline error, ideally it should throw
"trading partner agreement not found" error. You might also want to look at the this thread - Re: EDI over FTP
To confirm the issue - please rename your sample file with this naming convention <TPNAME>_<DOCTYPE>_<DOCREVISION>.dat, ideally if this error is because of file naming issue, it should get resolved by using this file naming convention.
and a technote from Oracle ( B2B_TN_010_Transport_File_FTP_Internal.pdf) is available on OTN, which details out the File naming conventions.
hope this helps,
Shailesh
