FTP to Mainfrome system

Hi There,
I have request to FTP some files to main frame systems from a UNIX file system, i tried regular ftp 'snpsftp.py' which comes with ODI, did not help so i customized it to FTP to a main frame system.
But as you know in main frame systems the directory structure is different to UNIX file systems, the customised one id FTPing to root but to the exact directory path.
Any help would be appreciated .
eg: /abc/xyx/pqr/<filename>
abc.xyz.pqr.<filename>

Hi Samay,
You need to setup RFC Destination (SM59). If you don't have authorization, please ask BASIS to help you. Otherwise please follow this steps.
When you define an RFC server program (usually an executable on a server) as RFC destination, you choose either 'START' or 'Registration'. 'Start' means the SAP application sending anything to this destination will trigger this program, while registration means this program will already be running (like a service) and have already registered itself to SAP server.
Once you have defined your RFC destination as of type 'registration', you should execute this exe with the syntax
"pgmname.exe -a<ProgramID>
-g<Gateway Host>
-x<Gateway Service>
" where programID shall be the same as the RFC destination name (I think) and gateway host and service is from the app server where you are registering this destination,
to have it started as a service and registered as the destination to the SAP server (which you can afterwards see in SMGW txn).
If you want this program to be started when something is sent to this RFC destination from SAP, make it of type 'START'.
Hope this will help.

Should FTP on the system be ENABLED for SFTP Adapter to work from BPEL Code

Hi,
I am trying to SFTP files from server1 to server2. I am getting the below fault message,
faultName: {{http://schemas.oracle.com/bpel/extension}bindingFault} messageType: {{http://schemas.oracle.com/bpel/extension}RuntimeFaultMessage} parts: {{ summary=<summary>Exception occured when binding was invoked. Exception occured during invocation of JCA binding: "JCA Binding execute of Reference operation 'Put' failed due to: Unable to read response. Unable to read response.

I have configured FTP Adapter JNDI name and other details correctly,
hostname, username, password, usesftp(true),port(22).
On the server2, the FTP was disabled and was getting the aforesaid error.
But when we enabled FTP on server2, the SFTP started working fine with the same configurations of JNDI.
So, to conclude, Should FTP on the system be ENABLED for SFTP Adapter to work from SOA BPEL Code?
Please give your valuable comments and suggestions.
Thanks & Regards,
Nagaraj Ganapa

Yes, if you are trying to write a file using SFTP/FTP to any machine, a SFTP/FTP server should be running on that machine and there should be a process listening on the correct port(22/21). This is true for any other application as well and not just for Oracle BPEL. You can not send a file to a server using SFTP/FTP when the FTP/SFTP process is not running on that server.

How to do a FTP from one system to another

Hi,
I have a program which creates a file from the master data in one system (Logistics), and I have another program in   another system (HR) which writes the contents from this file to a custom table.
I want to the avoid manual movement of the file among the systems. One option would be to create a common location on the file system which is accessible from both these systems.
But, could someone help me on doing a FTP of this file to HR system.
Appreciate your inputs.

FTP to external system

Hi,
I am try to establish a connection to the external system. I am using the FM "FTP_CONNECT" for connection in my ABAP program. But somehow I am not able to connect.
I am getting an error message saying "Attempting to connect to (HOSTname) fail".
I have checked user authorization and it seems everything is fine.
Do I need to pass gateway parameters in this FM as this is the external system (They are optional)? Currently I am not passing anything in all three gateway information.
CALL FUNCTION 'FTP_CONNECT'
     EXPORTING USER = USER
               PWD = PASSWORD
               ACCT = ACCOUNT HOST = HOST

Ftp permissions in system preferences vs of the directories it accesses

I'm trying to setup a read only ftp account to access a directory on one of my external drives.
The external drive doesn't have permissions enabled.
So:
- I create an account to login to
- in its home directory, I create a link to the external drive (using the command line to create it as a soft link). Accidentally, I leave this as read-write by the owner, though read by others
- in the ftp setup panel I enable ftp for this user - but set it to read only
I then find that ftp allows this user to write to that directory.
What I'm at a loss then is to understand what the point of the permissions setup in SystemsPreferences is. I'd expected ftp to use the most restrictive of either those settings and of the file/directory permissions involved (so that its easy to make an account read only for remote access without stopping it being used for read-write when used locally without involving ftp).
How should this work? Any help gratefully received.

Good day!
As you claim it is Flash Player that is changing permissions on your computer the »Photoshop for Beginners« Forum may not be the ideal place to post regarding the issue. You could also try

Download file from ftp server

Can I download files from an ftp server by simply using the ip address or https:// url? I've only gotten this to work by using the "ftp//:" address in previous projects and I'm not getting this to work in many different attempts.
Here is one...
# FTP Config
$FTPHost =
"10.10.10.5"
$Username =
"admin"
$Password =
"12345678"
$FTPFile =
"test.log"
# FTP Log File Url
$FTPFileUrl =
"ftp://" +
$FTPHost +
"/" +
$FTPFile
# Create FTP Connection
$FTPRequest =

$FTPRequest.Credentials
= New-Object System.Net.NetworkCredential($Username,
$Password)
$FTPRequest.Method =
[System.Net.WebRequestMethods+Ftp]::DownloadFile

Hi!
You don't need to specifically use an IP address. E.g can use
$FTPHost = "myrandomserver.mycompany.com"
$Username = "admin"
$Password = "12345678"
$FTPFile = "test.log"
# FTP Log File Url
$FTPFileUrl = "ftp://" + $FTPHost + "/" + $FTPFile

PI 7.30: OS command on AIX to archive files on FTP does not work

Dear experts,
Our PI system runs on an AIX server.
I have a scenario PI --> FTP. I also need to archive files in a seperate folder on the FTP.
I have been following thread:
Read or Write File On FTP server based on another file existence.
After file processing in the Audit Log in RWB I among others I get the information:
Execute OS command "sh /usr/sap/SYS/flex/batches/archive.sh file.zip /ftpfolder/file.zip"
It seems it is working properly.
The file itself gets processed to the "ftpfolder". But in the archive folder I do not get a copy of that file.
My script looks like this:
#!/bin/ksh
ftp -n -v <<%%EOF%%
open ftpserver
user myuser mypassword
prompt
asci
cd archivefolder
mput $2
bye
%%EOF%%
In the file receiver I have "Run OS command after message processing":
"sh /usr/sap/SYS/flex/batches/archive.sh %f %F"
%F stands for the complete path, right? So if I say "mput $2" in my script it should use %F.
Could you please help me out here. I really don't know what the problem could be.
Thank you and best regards,
Peter

hi Peter,
>>>I have a scenario PI --> FTP
but FTP does not support OS command as far as I remember

OS commands in FTP adapter

Hi Experts,
we are trying to use the OS command in the sender FTP adapter to compress the huge text files(approx 2 GB) before we pick the file to avoid the server issues.
for which we are using the OS command,
ssh -n -l user targetserver "cd /tagetdirectory; compress ExportFile.xml;mv ExportFile.xml.Z ExportFile.xml"
The above is a single command supplied by the Basis team.
the above command makes the connection to the target server with the user ( password not required)and then compresses the file.
I used the command in the sender FTP adapter as is.
But the message processing made the XI server unavailable and the process got failed due to HTTP_TRANSMISSION_ERROR
Please suggest on the OS command, Is it a right command ? or do I need to add anything to it, to make it work.
Please note that for the File Adapter transport protocol "FTP", the operating system command is NOT
executed on the FTP server, but on the server hosting the Adapter Engine ( please refer to
SAP note: 841704).
Thanks,
MK

Thanks Michal,
For "FTP" the command will be executed on the but on the server hosting the Adapter Engine, right?
ssh -n -l user targetserver "cd /targetdirectory; compress ExportFile.xml;mv ExportFile.xml.Z ExportFile.xml"
the command above is opening a secure channel from the XI host to the FTP host. We have a trusted relationship set up between the xiadm and ftpadm users which will allow this to occur without a password. and then it compress the file.
Please suggest further to resolve the issue.
I really appreciate you help.
Thanks,
MK

Sending multiple IDocs (all in single file) to FTP via XI

Hi All,
We have a requirement as below where we are looking for various feasible solutions.
The requirement is to collect multiple IDocs in ERP (2000-5000 in number) per day (either Flat File or XML) and needs to be sent as a single File (which has all these IDocs) to FTP Server via XI.
BPM is not allowed to use and we are working on PI 7.0, so IDoc packaging is also not applicable. There is no mapping required, we need to just route them to FTP from ERP System.
Looking forward for various solutions.
Regards,
N. Jayanth Kumar.

Hi,
Using the XML file port at R/3 to collect the Idocs would be a feasible solution. Also, as Sunil as already pointed out, you can configure this as a pass through interface, which will improve your overall processing time.
Another solution can be to pass the Idocs to PI and then use the append mode in the receiver file adapter to collect the days idoc into a single file.
To append only idocs for a particular day, try using dynamic filename, where file would have the date in it. This way, only Idocs for a particular day would be appended.
Regards

OS Command feature in FTP receiver

HI Experts,
This is regarding the Command line feature available in FTP channels.
Scenario : File to File
1. Is it possible to create a copy of the output file onto another directory in the target FTP server using this feature? Or is this not possible as the SAP note 841704 mentions "for the File Adapter transport protocol "FTP", the operating system command is NOT executed on the FTP server, but on the server hosting the Adapter Engine." If i want a copy onto another directory in the remote server, what are the steps to be followed?
( have gone through Michals blog /people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2007/02/08/xipi-command-line-sample-functions but was not able to try it as i dont have permisstion to tcode SXDA_TOOLS - i believe the batch file should be uploaded to al11 using this - correct me if i am wrong here!)
2. Can we give command directly onto the command line text box (without mentioning batch file path) ? I tried using the Transport protocol as NFS and routed the file to a local directory /usr/sap/tmp with the command line having a simple command as mv %f filechange.txt. This is shown as executed successfully in CC monitoring but result is not seen.
Would like to know the possibilities of this feature- thanks in advance!

Hi Diya,
also in text box use uppercase F like: %F
Please use $1 instead of %1
cp $1 /usr/sap/tmp/newfile.txt
cp file1 file2 copy file1 to a file called file2
cp file1 /tmp copy file1 to the /tmp directory
cp file1 ~smith copy file1 to the home directory of "smith"
cp * /tmp copy everything in the directory to the /tmp directory
refer this
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/e3/94007075cae04f930cc4c034e411e1/content.htm
When the operating system command is called, the file name currently being processed can be specified with the following placeholders:
u25CF %f (file name)
u25CF %F(absolute file name including path)

Sender FTP error

hi,
I use SAP PI 7.0 SP18
i have configured a senderFile Adapter with FTP. when i run the scenario i get the below error:
An error occurred while connecting to the FTP server 'xx.x.xx.xxx:990'. The FTP server returned the following error message: 'com.sap.aii.adapter.file.ftp.FTPEx: The control connection to the FTP server xx.x.xx.xxx timed out while reading the server reply.'. For details, contact your FTP server vendor.
i can ping the FTP server from PI server, the port is also open. FTP server is running.
further when i searched on SDN i found the below link:
FTP - file content conversion error
i have also referred SAP help for FILE/FTP adapter (sender) configuration.
futhermore i have maintained the following parameters as given below::
connection security - 'None'
transfer mode - 'Text'
any other pointers to solve my issue? please do suggest if i am missing something.
regards
ridhima

With your Basis Team, check if you can connect in FTP from your system to FTP Server destination.
FTP <desthostname>
However, port 990 seem an FTPS port, You connection need to be an FTPS connection? If yes, this could be a Certificate issue.

Mainframe Integration using File Adapter (FTP Mode):: ftp commands

Hi,
We are trying to integrate with Mainframe system using File Adapter. (FTP mode). We are able to write the file to Mainframe system but not able to format it properly. We had to provide FTP parameter, <b>ftp.quote site recfm=fb lrecl=150</b>
As per SAP Note 801926 :: XI 3.0 File Adapter: Additional Parameters, the only parameter that can be used is <b>ftp.timeout</b>. Has anyone tried out using other FTP parameters? (like ftp.quote)
Any help is grealy appreciated.
Regards,
Siva Maranani

I am looking at running some OS commands especially the QUOTE SITE FILENAME, and found this OSS note:
https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/841704
In this note it says...
"Note that for the File Adapter transport protocol "FTP", the operating system command is NOT executed on the FTP server, but on the server hosting the Adapter Engine."
