FTP to FTP text file

I am interested in using an ftp to ftp adapter without converting to XML.  Mainly, I want to pass a text file through XI without it being converted to XML or if it is converted to XML, I would like to be converted back to its original state. 
The file I am moving contains text in it, and if I do not place the XML-env in the file with the text I get a mapping error...
Is there a way to move the file, so the inbound file is not in XML format?
Thanks

Hi Michal,
I'm sorry to use other's thread but it showing some similar problem.
I'm having mix of txt file and XMl files in the same source folder, jms adapter need to access this folder and send to targte system.
do we can use this method for this suggested blog?
I'm having security requiremnts , i need to apply on message level may be some decryption and encryption needed,  in that case can i do it adapter level later  can be used the same method?
Thanks,
srini.

  • FTP of text file in unix to windows OS

    Hello,
    While doing FTP of the text file generated from XI(outbound/filename.txt) to windows, some new character([]-rectangle) is getting added to the new line character in the text file. This character is not seen if the same text file is viewed in unix directory. Is there any precaution to be taken in XI or in unix. Pls advise.
    Regards,
    Manoj

    Hi Manoj,
    I think you are facing this problem because it is not recognising the newline. Hence, giving you a rectangle([])instead of showing the data in a newline.
    Check the parameter that you have given for endseparator in content conversion.
    All normal Java related settings should work, for ex:- \t (for tab), \n (for newline) etc...
    Sometimes, normal editors like notepad may not show the newlines. you can check with something like textpad, ultraedit, edit plus etc.
    You can also try hexadecimal values in the endseparator:
    *new line (line feed) -> hex byte: 0x0A
    *return -> hex byte: 0x0D
    Go through the follwing thread which discuss exactly the same issue!:-

  • Use FTP Transport Protocol (XI) to send text file created from R3

    I've configured a Port in IDoc Processing (WE21) to create an output file from a Bank Partner Profile (WE20) where my Message Type is PAYEXT and IDoc Type PEXR2002.
    I need to take this Text File and send it to the Bank;s FTP site using the Integration Server (XI).
    How can I take this text file and simply send it to the Bank without going through File Content Conversion in order to convert it to XML as the Sender and then uncovert it during the Receiver to FTP the file to the Bank?
    If that is not possible, would anyone know how to configure the RecordSet Structure and parameters for both the Sender and Receiver?

    Hi,
    Let me re-phrase your scenario:
    ECC is required to send PAYEXT IDOC to XI which needs to be send to the bank in IDOC text file format to the bank. If this is the case we can achieve this by doing the following:
    1.Rather than using TRFC port used by the IDOC as the method of communication, you can leverage using file port. The configurations to the file port are simple. You need to select a place where you can drop the IDOC file created by the ECC system and XI would pick up the file.
    2. Poll for the file using NFS from that particular location where ECC drops the file. (If it is being staged on the ECC system, then XI service user SAPservice<SID> must have access permission on that folder like \usr\sap\put\interfaces.
    3. Configure receiver FTP adapter to send the file to the bank.
    Hope this helps.

  • How to copy/send text file from FTPS to SAP ECC File Port

    Hi Frdns,
    I am working on one design, actually my requirement as follows
    I am receiving financial information document from Banks, which is in the form of BIA2 message format, it looks like text file. This information needs to be sending to SAP ECC system.
    I identified some approaches to full fill the requirement
    1)Using Conversion agent/or third party tools to convert BIA2 message in to XML, then using PI I will pick up the XML message, convert it in to IDoc.
    2)Without any conversion I will copy the same file (original BIA2 message) in to SAP ECC file port, in this case no conversion required, calling some program I will schedule it.
    I am looking forward t implement the second approach because it saves lot of money to my client.
    Now I am wondering using File adapter can i copy to SAP ECC File Port or I required ABAP proxy?
    What is the best approach to copy the BIA message text file from FTPS to SAP ECC File Port.??
    Regards,
    Raj

    Hi Raja,
    >>Now I am wondering using File adapter can i copy to SAP ECC File Port or I required ABAP proxy?
    Yes you can do this copy, the only restriction that can happen is the file size.. If you are sure that the fiel will be of few MB at the max then you can use the Configuration part alone and copy it to ECC folder. For doing this you need the following:
    1. Sender agreement (mention the sender interface as anything XYZ)
    2. Sender communication channel. Pick the file in binary mode
    3. Receiver determination (keep both the sender and receiver service as same)
    4. Interface Detemiantion (dont specify any mapping and keep the receiver interface name as XYZ)
    5. Create receiver agreement (with same service and interface)
    6. Use file adapter here

    Hi,
    While using CONNECT, we do not have to give the folder. It should only be the server / ip address.
    While using FTP_COPY, we can give the folder name in parameter FILE_DESTINATION.

    ABAP Development is completed but text file format generate in ANSI which not acceptable by client.For generating text file and store it on FTP server by using standard function module FTP_R3_TO_SERVER ,but in this function module there is no any parameter option like CODEPAGE for file format conversion.

    Sorry Forgot to mention eclipse version...
    Eclipse Platform

    Ok,
    bcoz of this issue, i had to code the entire interface in OSB console. It runs fine in OSB console (i was able to test it successfully).
    Is this a bug in eclipse or only i am facing this issue? Has anybody tried to create a business service from JCA FTP Get Synchronous jca file?

    One more doubt? The PhysicalArchiveDirectory path can be on the FTP server something like: /MOMFiles/archive. Or do i have to use the Put operation to move it to /MOMFiles/archive directory. Currently OSB console and eclipse do not accept FTP path for this parameter and want me to specify a local directory on server. Thanks

  • Sender FTP Adapter - Archive faulty files not working

    Hello,
    We are on SAP PI 7.11 SP 06
    We have a scenario where we are reading CSV files from a FTP location.
    File Sender Adapter is polling the FTP location for CSV files, if there
    is any error during FCC we need to move the faulty file under a
    particular directory on FTP server.
    Archive faulty files tick is click under the communication channel and
    also the required directory is specified, but the functionality is not
    working.
    If there is a faulty file it is just adding a rejected prefix to the
    file and keeping the file in the polling directory. It is not moving
    the file in the rejected directory specified in the communication
    channel.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Rahul Nawale

    Are you trying to archive the file on the same FTP server or a different FTP server? Archiving the faulty file on the FTP server might not have expected results. And if you are trying to archive the file on a separate FTP server, it wouldn't probably be achieved using the simple file adapter functionalities.
    The best way would be to archive the faulty files to an NFS location on your PI server (this will certainly work, even if it's FTP mode) and then use a separate script or PI interface (file tunneling) to move these files from PI server File System to FTP archive location.

    Can anybody tell me how to overcome this error and make this code to run successfully.

    Seems to me to be a firewall issue. See if you can connect via a command line tool and do the transfer in passive mode. (Get from one server and put on the other). If that works, then duplicate what you did in Java. If it is a firewall issue, your command line usage will fail as well. My strong suspicion is that you do not want to use active mode.

  • 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
    Regards,
    Riyaz
