FTPS queries

Hi,
I am trying to send files to an FTP(s) server over an SSL protocol. The FTP(s) server is at the receiving side.
The client has provided us with the public certificate.
I have these queries. PLease answer to each query separately.
1. Now that we have the public certificate,I guess we need to check with the (receiver) client as to who is the CA (certification authority) of that certificate. Because I suppose this CA should be in the list of trusted CA'a in PI. Kindly confirm.
2. I have seen the procedure of generating certificates and keys pairs for a particular keystore view (pdf for Message Level Security).The most important question that I have is: Do we generate keystore-views for a specific CA? If not how is it?. Is the certificate and key pair common for all CA's in the PI server list?
3. Since we are sending data over the FTP adapter, what really applies to us is the procedure of 'how to configure SSL for AS java'. Or do we have to enable SSL for both ABAP and Java stack separately. Kindly confirm.
4. I could see the parameter 'X.509 client authentication' in FTP adapter. I assume X.509 is the certificate from a trusted CA and surely we have to enter the keystore parameters here. Is this the only trusted CA available in PI servers? And we expect partners also to have X.509 public certificate (to be given to us in cases where we are sending data)?
Please do not provide me the ususal sdn and help.sap links. I have gone through much of them.
Still these questions remain.
Of course if they help in answering specific questions, you may please.
Kindly answer each question to the point and completely.
Thanks,
John

Help needed for file processing using FTP

Hi All,
I am new to ODI tool and currently we are implementing one project in ODI. Could you please, any one help me on the following requirement... how to implement it?
Scenario:
i) I need to pick a file from remote host 'outbox' dir using FTP process, and place into local 'temp' dir. (I can do it with odiFTPGet tool)
ii) Change the file as per target business requirement.??? ( this step challenging me)
for ex:
if source file name : <project name>_<source ID>_<transaction name>_<unique id>.txt
target name should be : 1234_<transaction name>_<sysdate in yyyyMMddhhmmss>_<unique id>_2345.txt ( here 1234 and 2345 are hard coded values)
iii) Later move to local 'temp' to local 'outbox' dir. ( I can do it with odiFileMove tool)
iv) After successful process move the file from remote 'outbox' to remote 'archive' dir ??? (again this is challenging me).
For this my questions are:
1) How to get file name into a variable ( In one of the post , it says we need to create data model and data stores, and interface to get the file names into a file. apart from is there any easy way i can implement it in package it self?)
2) How to tokenize a long string ( i.e., need to tokenize the source file to get <unique id> and <transaction name> and map to target file name)
3) How to define implementation for Java in user function?? do we need to use class declarations and import statements?? I need a sample user function in Java.
4) How to move/rename a file in remote server?? ( need to move file from remote 'outbox' server to remote archive' dir)
5) If any step in package fails, How to get the error msg into a variable which i can use for sending mail and raise a ticket in remedy?? ( I will pass that variable to as content to mail and remedy ticket)
6) How to handle list type data (string list) by variables in ODI?? (As we can define single variable not as list.)
I am sorry to ask all my queries I a single post. But I need to solutions for all to implement this in my project.
Thanks in advance. Appreciate early response.

Kiran.N

Can any one share your thoughts for my request.
Thanks in advance.

Connecting to MS Access db located on FTP server

Hi,
I'm trying to query an ms Access database that is located on a remote FTP server, using JDBC:ODBC driver and experiencing some difficulties.
In early stages I was connecting to the db locally with connection string below:
private String connString = "jdbc:odbc:DRIVER=Microsoft Access Driver " + "(*.mdb);DBQ=C:/hdrive/testdb.mdb;{code} It was working fine so i assumed that connecting to the same database on a remote server would be as simple as changing the local path to the URL on server. {code}private String connString = "jdbc:odbc:DRIVER=Microsoft Access Driver " + "(*.mdb);DBQ=ftp://user:[email protected]/testdb.mdb;
Turns out I was wrong. Following error message returned when executing:
'(unknown)' is not a valid path. Make sure that the path name is spelled correctly and that you are connected to the server on which the file resides.
I would appreciate if anybody could give me few pointers or steps involved in getting my application to connect to this database.

Perhaps there is another way around this. I've done some research on the internet and I've read that you can have a script running on the webserver and send queries to it using SOAP. Has anybody had any experience in this? I'd appreciate if someone could point me where to start.Pretty sure I referenced one solution in that which was the rmi proxy driver.
And basically every web site that you visit, including this one, has implemented a web solution so obviously they exist and there are many variants.
A java one is J2EE containers of which you might look at tomcat.

Database queries - is there a wait or sleep functionality?

Hello everyone,
I have recently encountered a problem where a database collector I made
just stops querying after a while and needs restarting in the ESM for it
to work again. In other databases (I am querying Oracle btw), this does
not happen and in some others it does. So I am basically thinking that
some databases are configured to limit the amount of querying or force
an exit on error.
What I have noticed, is that in my Oracle environment (no fancy
configurations, all very permissive) I get alot of ORA-0100 errors
indicating that there are too many open cursors. This happens when the
last row in the database has been reached and the errors stop being
shown in Active Views only after some data is inserted in database and
collector resumes normally the task of collecting data until no more
records are available and once more errors appear in Active Views.
I altered the amount of allowed open cursors and incremented from 300
to 500. Still, I keep getting errors (like every 20 seconds). I want to
minimize these amount of errors and hopefully solve my original problem
of having to manually restart the collector in some customer
environments. I came up with the following snippet (bottom of message),
but can't seem to find a function for having the collector sleep or
wait. I tried Thread.sleep() (From Java) and setTimeout() (From
Javascript) but both raise errors since they are undefined methods for
the collector.
The Sentinel API makes reference to "queryDelay" and "queryScheduled"
flags which are supposedly defined in sqlquery.js. I cannot find any
reference in the code to these flags and I am not even sure of how to
implement them ( if(!queryDelay) { conn.send(DBQUERY) } ?????? ).
How can I use these flags in the code to help me reduce the number of
queries being thrown when there is no data? Or will I have to hack my
own sleep or wait function? I appreciate any assistance!
snippet of code I want to implement:
Code:
Connector.prototype.sendQuery = function(){
if (rec.CONNECTION_STATUS == "NEED-QUERY") {
if (instance.CONFIG.myCounter >= 3) {
//HERE INSERT A SLEEP OR TIMEOUT FUNCTION
instance.CONFIG.myCounter = 0;
} else {
conn.send(instance.CONFIG.DBQuery);
//instanced in initialization function. Resets to zero when query is successful.
instance.CONFIG.myCounter = instance.CONFIG.myCounter + 1;
return true

I experience the same problem with my custom collector.
But the beta connector is not there anymore.
Can you please provide the connector so that I can test if it solves my
problem.
Thanks.

Find and replace Dreamweaver mx 2004 problem: not opening saved queries

Dreamweaver mx 2004 is not opening saved queries! I use find and replace often and uses to save code replacements to reuse
it. But now when I open the saved query I have 2 situations:
1) comes completely blank
2) or only shows truncated text or code in fields.
I opened the dwr file in text editor and seems to be fine, I mean information saved is there.
Tried recreating cache, or deleting caché, tried saving new or overwritting existant ones, tried saving into a completely different location,
tried in other site definition. Nothing seems to work...

Which FTP app did your predecessor use to upload files? If it's still on your work station, it should contain the log-in credentials.
You'll find a few utilities online for revealing passwords

File FTP to AS400 Library folder

hi mates,
Using the receiver FTP adapter & content conversion, I'm dropping a file on AS400 in a library folder (/QSYS.LIB/XYZ.LIB/). The file is getting created with 'FILE' extension. When I download it on to my desktop and view it with wordpad, I see the actual contents and a line with non-readable character (the char looks line a box).
However, AS400 people say that the file is not usable for their programs. Because ithey run some SQL queries on it and that doesnt return any data and also when they view the content with their toold they see some non-readable characters.
What is the Receiver FTP config for dropping the fille onto a AS400 library?
I've tried using file type, Text with diff encodings given in file adapter help & Binary. It dint help.
Did any one do this kind of thing earlier? Am I missing something here.
I appreciate your inputs & references.
thx
praveen

Hey
yeah,its some encoding problem.anyways, have a look at the following to make sure that you are using the correct encoding for you iSeries
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/iseries/v5r3/index.jsp?topic=/rzaha/fileenc.htm
also try asking the AS400 people which encoding they expect.
i would say,dont do any FCC right now and see if the XML is going properly or not and are they able to read thata XML.if XML goes fine,then use the same encoding and do FCC.
also if you are seeing the special character(the box) in the bottom of the file,then it means that AS400 is behaving funny for new Line('nl').
Use '0x2B' instead of 'nl'
thanx

Need to create a MIME file to FTP to customer

Hi Experts,
I have a requirement to generate a MIME file that will consist of am XML file and 1 to many attachments. This file will then be sent via FTP to a client. Searching within the SCN community has proven very difficult because I am NOT looking to do anything with the MIME Repository. I just want to create a file with a .MIME extension and having the appropriate tags. We are not wanting to send this file via email.
I have found several queries on similar topics but they do not appear to have a solution. Does anyone know of the proper Functions, Class methods or procedure to accomplish this within ABAP?
Best Regards,
Terry

$props = @{"FirstName" = '';
'LastName' = '';
'UID' = '';

that's the closest i have been able to come, but it seems to put the columns in a random order..
$props=[ordered]@{

Sending Email When FTP Adapter Errors Out

Hello everyone,
I am developing a very simple interface to grab a file from a directory and ftp it to a partner's server. Now I want to be able to check if an error occurs when I send the file so I can send a notification e-mail to the administrator and move the file to an Error-Archive directory.
Some of the errors that could happen are:
1. Partner server is down
2. FTP Username or password is wrong
3. FTP account does not have permissions to write to the Partner server
4. ...etc
I have defined an Integration process and for the block where I ftp my file, I defined an exception which I catch in an exception branch. In the Exception branch, I have then defined steps to send notification emails and move the file to an error-archive directory. But unfortunately all the steps of the Integration Process seems to pass, although the FTP Adapter throughs an error.
I'm not sure how can I get the FTP adapter errors to be passed back to my integration process. I already searched in the service market place for OSS notes and also searched the SDN but I can't find any helpful information.
There is one OSS note, 821267, that mentions the use of System Acknowledgements. I'm not sure if this will help me and I don't know how to set it up.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to handle this particular scenario? Did anyone implement System Acknowledgements with the File/FTP adapter?
Any help is greatly appreciated

Hi,
To do the alert configuration as suggested, please go through the information below.
From SP 14 on PMI-free alerting was introduced. That means before SP 14 one has to configure and activate the End-to-End Monitoring, and to schedule the report SXMSALERT_PROCESS_DATA_GET in order to extract the alerts from the PMI data. For SP 14 and higher, that's not longer necessary.
If no alerts are being delivered, please check if "Suppress multiple alerts of this rule" is checked for your rule.
For SP 14 and higher you could also have a look at the report sxmsalert_logreader. This report shows some information about alerts being created or not.
You'll find more information about trouble shooting the alerting in SAP Note 913858.
Also just check if this batch program (RSALERTPROC) is running or not.
The links below on Alert Management (ALM) will be of good help to you:

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/3f/81023cfa699508e10000000a11402f/frameset.htm
Meanwhile look at these forum threads also:
Alerts not getting triggered from Adapter Framework
Alert Configs...
Also, In ALRTCATDEF, go to SETTINGS--> CONFIGURATION. By default, the option selected is INTERNAL PROCESSING. Select the option SMTP FORWARDING AS XML and give the email id. This will enable you to send an email alert whenever an error occurs in XI.
I hope I have answered your queries. If u want help with anything else please do reply back.

File Adapter FTP SSL SSL Certificate Exception

After reviewing the results of searching on this error, I do not find anything that fits my situation:
SAP File Adapter (PI 7.1) using FTP with FTPS connection security.
I am not using X.509 certificate for client authentication.
My connection is using a non-public certificate.
I have added the SSL certificate to TrustedCAs and DEFAULT keystores.
I am getting the following error:
Message processing failed. Cause: com.sap.engine.interfaces.messaging.api.exception.MessagingException: Error when getting an FTP connection from connection pool: com.sap.aii.af.lib.util.concurrent.ResourcePoolException: Unable to create new pooled resource: iaik.security.ssl.SSLCertificateException: Peer certificate rejected by ChainVerifier
Since I am using an non-public certificate, it will not validate. Even adding to the TrustedCAs and DEFAULT keystore it seems the configuration is still attempting to validate the certificate.
Any recommendations?

Hi,
The main reasons for this error are:
1. The correct server certificate could not be present in the TrustedCA
keystore view of NWA. Please ensure you have done all the steps
described in these two URLs:
Security Configuration at Message Level
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwpi71/helpdata/EN/ea/c91141e109ef6fe1000000
0a1550b0/frameset.htm
2. The server certificate chain contains expired certificate. Check for
it (that was the cause for other customers as well) and if it's the case
renew it or extend the validation.
3. Some other people have reported similar problem and mainly the
problem was that the certificate chain was not in correct
order. Basically the server certificate chain should be in order
Own->Intermedite->Root. To explain in detail, if your server certificate
is A which is issued by an intermediate CA B and then B's certificate is
issued by the C which is the root CA (having a self signed certificate).
Then your certificate chain contains 3 elements A->B->C. So you need to
have the right order of certificate in the chain. If the order is B
first followed by A followed by C, then the IAIK library used by PI
cannot verify the server as trusted. Please generate the certificate in
the right order and then import this certificate in the TrustedCA
keystore view and try again. Please take this third steps as the
principal one.
Hope it solves your querie.

Caio Cagnani

SPM related queries

HI,
I have few queries with regard to SPM, please share if you have any info:-
1. If we are using flatfile mechanism(data extraction) to load data in SPM, is there any program to FTP the file from ECC to SPM(BI). We have extracted the data in ECC side and file is present in AL11.
2. When we are using direct upload mechanism(data extraction) to load data to SPM, data is succesfully loaded till PSA level. As per my understanding it cannot be loaded to Direct update DSO(Inbound layer) as per the SPM Data Model, is there any standard transformartion to take data from PSA to SPM inbound/Detail layer.
3. If we are going by direct upload mode, how can we handle DSC.
4. If we are going by direct upload mode then is there any standard method/Process chain by which we can load data to SPM data targets after handling the data in DSC.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Sakshi

Hi Sakshi
1. If we are using flatfile mechanism(data extraction) to load data in SPM, is there any program to FTP the file from ECC to SPM(BI). We have extracted the data in ECC side and file is present in AL11.
Ans: If you are within the firewall and the EC and SPM systems are conneted, not sure why you would use flat files approach. But to answer your question, you would ask the network admin to move the flat files, either manually or thru some scheduled script. Donot download files from AL11 as this transaction tends to truncate wide files.
2. When we are using direct upload mechanism(data extraction) to load data to SPM, data is succesfully loaded till PSA level. As per my understanding it cannot be loaded to Direct update DSO(Inbound layer) as per the SPM Data Model, is there any standard transformartion to take data from PSA to SPM inbound/Detail layer.
Ans: There is a data mgmt tool in SPM which moves data from the PSA to the inbound layer. This tool does things like currency/unit conversions, system uniqueness concatenations, export and re import of data for data classification and normalization (like the DSE service) etc... And then data gets moved from inbound to the cubes thru process chains.
3. If we are going by direct upload mode, how can we handle DSC.
Ans. If you take over the data mgmt function, which is your choice, by writing a transformation from PSA to inbound, in that case you would need to figure out how you would import and export for DSE. You could think of using the BW Open Hub...
4. If we are going by direct upload mode then is there any standard method/Process chain by which we can load data to SPM data targets after handling the data in DSC.
Ans. If you are bypassing the data mgmt tool then you would need to figure out the interconnectivity of data with DSE, as mentioned in the previous answer, you would then connect those transformations to the standard proess chains - check the table OPMDM_TYPES for the process chains mapped to the respective objets (both master data and transaction data)
Hope that answers.

FTPS in XI3.0

Hi All,
I have to implement a IDOC-XI-FTPS scenario for one of my client. I am having few queries that needs some clarifications.
1) Do i need to install SAP Java Cryptographic ToolKIT?? (I guess yes, becoz i am using XI3.0). If yes , then how can i install that??
2) My client has provided me the certificates (in .p7b format) that needs to be deployed on XI system(under NWA-> Keystorage View) in adition to that do i need to add CA certificate also under NWA?? (i think the .p7b certifcate file is also having CA certificate and deploying only the ".p7b" certicate under NWA will do, no need to install CA certifcates. Please correct me if i am wrong).
I am referring below blogs :
/people/aniket.tare/blog/2005/03/22/ssl-certificate-installation-procedure-for-sap-j2ee-engine-630-150-steps-in-visual-administrator
/people/rajasekhar.reddy14/blog/2010/04/13/how-to-configure-ftps-in-file-adapter
Please help.

You have to upload the certificate in Visual Administrator (the NWA start by PI 7).
To open VA, log on system (with a X11 server like Xming or similar), then go to directory:
For an ABAP + J2EE system (J2EE Add-In):
         On Windows:
Run \usr\sap\<SAPSID>\DVEBMGS<xx>\j2ee\admin\go.bat.
         On UNIX:
Run /usr/sap/<SAPSID>/DVEBMGS<xx>/j2ee/admin/go.
For a J2EE system:
         On Windows:
Run \usr\sap\<SAPSID>\JC<xx>\j2ee\admin\go.bat.
         On UNIX:
Run /usr/sap/<SAPSID>/JC<xx>/j2ee/admin/go.

Generating XML from SQL queries and saving to an xml file?

Hi there,
I was wondering if somebody could help with regards to the following:
Generating XML from SQL queries and saving to a xml file?
We want to have a procedure(PL/SQL) that accepts an order number as an input parameter(the procedure
is accessed by our software on the client machine).
Using this order number we do a couple of SQL queries.
My first question: What would be our best option to convert the result of the
queries to xml?
Second Question: Once the XML has been generated, how do we save that XML to a file?
(The XML file is going to be saved on the file system of the server that
the database is running on.)
Now our procedure will also have a output parameter which returns the filename to us. eg. Order1001.xml
Our software on the client machine will then ftp this XML file(based on the output parameter[filename]) to
the client hard drive.
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Thanking you,
Francois

If you are using 9iR2 you do not need to do any of this..
You can create an XML as an XMLType using the new SQL/XML operators. You can insert this XML into the XML DB repository using DBMS_XDB.createResource. You can then access the document from the resource. You can also return the XMLType containing the XML directly from the PL/SQL Procedure.
