FTPEx: 501 Syntax errors in parameter in File Adapter

Hi All,
I have a scenario idoc to file when I try sending file through the FTP connection I got the below error
An error occurred while connecting to the FTP server 'ftp-gw.dx.dxxxx.com:21'. The FTP server returned the following error message: 'com.sap.aii.adapter.file.ftp.FTPEx: 501 Syntax errors in parameter. usage: %[recipient id]%[APRF] where either [recipient] or [APRF] can be omitted. (to change your current default SEND relationship). %% (places you in your 'HOME' TR). &['s'|'single'] ('get' command gets single file). &['m'|'multiple'] ('get' command gets multiple files). '. For details, contact your FTP server vendor.
I have gone through the forum below which is also unanswered

Hi Anand,
Not sure whether I need to used the variable substituion but the user as specified to send file as
PUSHING FILES TO FTP Server
put localfilename %localfilename%CITISECUFLATNA%CITIGPASSIN%%B
currently I specified in comm. channel as
File Access parameters
Target Directory %xi_output.txt%CITISECUFLATNA%CITIGPASSIN%%B
Unchecked the checkbox Create Target Directory
File Name Scheme xi_output.txt
Please let me know if any more details required.

'com.sap.aii.adapter.file.ftp.FTPEx: 501 Unknown error

Hello ,
I am facing an error in communication channel while trying to post the file to the FTP server,
The error is " Message processing failed. Cause: com.sap.engine.interfaces.messaging.api.exception.MessagingException: An error occurred while connecting to the FTP server '10.100.5.00:20'. The FTP server returned the following error message: 'com.sap.aii.adapter.file.ftp.FTPEx: 501 Unknown error'. For details, contact your FTP server vendor"
Please could you advice what need to be done to resolve this.
Thanks ,

Hi ,
FTP 501 Error is: "Syntax error in parameters or arguments"
Also, i see that the ftp address and port mentioned in your case is:
10.100.5.00:20
Hence, i see three probable issues here.
1. FTP Port :
Just check if the FTP server's port number '20' mentioned in your case is open as this is the data connection port. Moreover, the default port mentioned while creating a file channel is 21. Just check about the port number '20' with the FTP server administrator if this port number is opened and functioning.
2. FTP server address:
Also, try giving your FTP Server's address as 10.100.5.0
3. Also, check if the FTP server is reachable from the PI Server by using a simple ping command.

You have a job running in the database. Its job ID is 754461
It looks as if that job runs APPS.HKD_PO_ADDON_PKG
That job is attempting to send mail using UTL_SMTP and apparently passing some strange value to SMTP server for the RCPT TO: parameter.

Unable to send Email: ORA-29279: SMTP permanent error: 501 Syntax error in

We have a procedure use utl_smtp in 10g (10.0.4). we got this msg (Unable to send Email: ORA-29279: SMTP permanent error: 501 Syntax error in arguments) when send e-mail to another mail box (internal),
but we use the same procedure running in 10g(10.03) it works perfectly. Is Oracle 10g(10.0.4 vs. 10.0.3) causing this issue ? Can someone shed some lights on my head ? Thx.

We found what is wrong about this.
The problem is in CC we had a e-mail address has one space like this test [email protected] so UTL_smtp doesn't like this kind format then we recreated a new e-mail address without space and it works fine.

For some reason (probably misconfiguration of your
machine or name service), the java.net.InetAddress

You can specify that manually by setting an
appropriate property. See the javadocs for the
com.sun.mail.smtp package.

Translation Error not happening in File Adapter Inbound

I have been working on a requirement where the file adapter picks up the file and gives to the BPEL for processing the data.
So, in order to do Error Handling for file adapter, i have been reading the Oracle documentation for technology adapters. In that, some of the
points which i felt valuable for my error handling when using file adapter are the uniqueMessageSeparator property, fault-policies for rejected messages,
and one of the action for rejected messages could be writing the payload to a file or invoking any other webservice. .
In my composite, i have configured the file adapter as a service for reading files, and i defined the xsd using the native format builder....If i put some data like 'aaaa' in the attribute of type integer , the .csv file is being picked up and its being passed to the BPEL without any error ? I believe there should be a translation error...right...
But i am not getting the error, please tell me if anything is wrong in my xsd....
Here is my xsd....
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"

In another composite, my file adapter is picking up the .xml file and if i put any wrong data over there, that is working fine, i am getting the trasnlation error, but only here in the case of csv file, i am not getting the error. Experts, please help me in this regard...I am using SOA 11G
Thanks,

Getting Error while running a file adapter.

Hi all,
I am doing a small application where I need to read an image from a shared path and send the base64code of that image in response. For that I am using File Adapter and Read
operation. I have just hard coded the image name didnt give any wild card or expressions. I generated a service which is a proxy using the jca of that File Adapter. I added a stage
replacing the response body with the opaque element of the request body. When I run the proxy I am getting something like *"The invocation resulted in an error: "* in response
and in the stack trace I am getting *"Failed to set the value of context variable "body". Value must be an instance of {http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/}Body."* as the fault
reason I am unable to detect where exactly I am going wrong. Kindly help me in resolving this.
Thanks,
Phanindra.

Not sure why you want to replace. Since the response of the proxy would remain to hold the request body by default.
If you have stored the opaque element in a variable ($var_opaque), then you can do the following.
XPath : .
In variable : body
Expression : $var_opaque
Check - "Replace node content"

"Error in loading WSDL file" --- Adaptive Webservice Model

File access parameter in file adapter at receiver side

Hi Experts,
1- i am using file adapter at receiver side. i want to create my file with time stamp for that i have given the file construction mode = add time stamp and put file directly .but it is showing time in file name????????
2. i want my file name as TimeSheet_Country_Date_time.csv so for this what value i have to give in file Name Scheme parameter.
Regards

1- i am using file adapter at receiver side. i want to create my file with time stamp for that i have given the file construction mode = add time stamp and put file directly .but it is showing time in file name????????
The addtime stamp will add timestamp as the last part of the filename before the extension.
2. i want my file name as TimeSheet_Country_Date_time.csv so for this what value i have to give in file Name Scheme parameter.
You can achieve this using dynamic file naming UDF in mapping and using ASMA in file adapter.
Use current date function and generate the current date. Then use substring to pick date,time from it and format it according to your requirement (TimeSheet_Country_Date_time).Else you can write a UDF to generate the file name as per your requirement and then pass it to the dynamic filenaming UDF in the mapping.
Search SDN for dynamic file naming.

Error when configuring Sender File Adapter (XI 7.0)

Hi all,
After i had configured my Sender File Adapter of Communication Channel 'CC_SEND_MATERIAL_FILE', an error message for this Communication Channel (in Runtime WorkBench/Component Monitoring/Adapter Engine/Communication Channel Monitoring) occurred as below:
Error: com.sap.aii.af.ra.ms.api.DeliveryException: java.net.MalformedURLException: unknown protocol: dest
I think that all configurations for this Sender File Adapter are correct. But i don't know where is protocol "dest" and how can i correct this protocol.
Could anyone please help me to resolve this problem?
Thanks for all in advance,
Vinh Vo

Hi Sarvesh,
Yes, i have configured the source file with the path in the AL11. I think all an other configurations are also OK. But i don't know what is protocol 'dest'.
Anybody can explain and help me, please!

Help!!!! I am getting a 501 Syntax Error with CFFTP ListDir. I created the file in January of 2014 and today is the first time it has failed.


<cfsetting requesttimeout="600">
<cfset thisDate = now()>

Try removing the quotes from around the connection name in your CFFTP lisdir block. So change the last line to connection=MyFtp instead of connection="MyFtp".

Hi All,
I have also encountered such error during my test upload of Hierarchy from a flat file.
This is my exact error: u201CSyntax error in template RSTMPL9C, row 297u201D.
After browsing hundreds of WebPages, I took a closer look at my infopackage. And whalah! Under the u201CExternal Data Tabu201D, I forgot to enter a value in the u201CNumber of Header Rows to be Ignoredu201D. And thatu2019s it. It solves the problem. I have successfully uploaded my hierarchy through flat file.
Hope this could also help those who have encountered same problem.

Syntax Error When Synchronizing *.msg files

I am running SyncToy 2.1, version 2.1.0.0.
When synchronizing folders that contain Outlook messages saves as *.msg files, I recieve the message "Error: Cannot write to the destination file. The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007007B)..."
If I modify the synchronization settings to exclude *.msg files, the synchronization runs without errors.
I have browsed this SyncToy support forum and haven't found any posts that relate to this error.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

I know it's a long shot but I had this error message when trying to write files from a local drive to a mapped SharePoint location. The problem came down to the name I'd used when I mapped the SharePoint library. I'd mapped it as something like this:
Z: --> \\intranet\myteams\erp\Shared%20Documents
and kept hitting this issue. However, when I mapped it like this:
Z: --> \\intranet\myteams\erp\Shared Documents
it worked.
