How to configurate SFTP adapter
Hi, good morning,
I am currently setting up a communication channel SFTP, which will process multiple files configured in the list "Additional File".
When I analyze the communication channel in the "Run Time WorkBench" this is the result:
Picture - Communication channel
I searched what should be the syntax or configuration of the "Additional File" in SFTP adapter but i don't find it. This is my configuration:
Picture - Communication channel_configuration
On the other hand, I compare FTP Additional file with SFTP but It isn't the same.
Could you help me set it up properly?
Thank you very much.
Hi Eng,
I need to put "*" because the right part of the filename (after the point) could change.
For example i can recieve:
XETEX19E.ddaseaggge or XETEX19E.ddaseaggda or XETEX19E.ddadd and other.
Can i put * in the namePart definition? For example:
"19E.*"="34E.*"
Picture - NewOption
When I try it I obtain this error:
Picture - Other
Do i need to know the exact FileName?
Thanks.
Regards.

How to configure SFTP Adapter in XI?
Hi All,
How to configure SFTP adapter in XI?, It would be great if anyone sends a step-by-step documentation on the same.
Thanks in advanceHi,
About SFTP .
1) SFTP (Secure File Transfer Protocol)
"SSH File Transfer Protocol" or SFTP is a network protocol that provides file transfer and manipulation functionality over any reliable data stream. It is typically used with the SSH-2 protocol to provide secure file transfer. SFTP encrypts the session, preventing the casual detection of username, password or anything that is being transmitted. One key benefit to SFTP is its ability to handle multiple secure file transfers over a single encrypted pipe. By using a single encrypted pipe, there are fewer holes in the corporate firewall.
SFTP:
As per the latest SAP PI/XI support pack, it does not support SFTP via File Adapter.
So alternative approach to cater this requirement from XI is to make use of Unix Script at OS level to transfer the files from/to third-party systems.
Inbound Interface - i.e. third-party system ->XI->SAP:
File is transferred to a folder in SAP XI landscape from the third-party legacy system using UNIX Script with secured protocol. Once the file is ready in the XI landscape, File Adapter will poll this directory and file is picked up by NFS protocol.
Outbound Interface i.e. SAP->XI->third-party system:
XI is responsible for writing a file into a folder in the XI landscape. These files are transferred to the third-party system by executing UNIX scripts with secured protocol i.e. via sFTP.
Pre-Requisites:
Public key should be exchanged between external systems and the PI system.
UNIX shell script has to be developed and scheduled.
Advantages:
Highly Secured.
Ability to handle multiple secure file transfers over a single encrypted pipe .By using a single encrypted pipe, there are fewer holes in the corporate firewall.
Disadvantages:
Two-Step process i.e. XI>Temporary folder>External System and vice-versa
Files have to be temporarily stored in XI server.
Multiple failure points i.e. XI and Unix script execution
Maintenance of an external UNIX script.
Difficulty in monitoring the execution of the shell script as it cannot be monitored thru XI.
Need to generate keys and install it in the SFTP site as a pre-requisite i.e. SFTP clients must install keys on the server.
SFTP uses keys rather than certificates. This means that it can't take advantage of the "chains of trust" paradigm facilitated through Certificate Authorities.
Files from the XI server should be deleted/archived in a periodic manner to increase the disc space so that it will increase the performance.
Note: UNIX shell Script can be executed as a background job or' can be triggered from SAP XI through OS command at File adapter level.
Check the links.

How to handle empty file using sftp adapter
Hi,
Please explain me how to handle empty files in sftp adapter.
Thanks,
EnivassHi Enivaas,
I don't have the seeburger sftp adapter at hand at the moment, but asfar as I remember, this does not specifically have an empty-file handling option like the standard ftp adapter.
So to stop emtyp files from being written, guess would need to handle this at the mapping level. For example, check for target creation criteria in the header node in mapping. If the creation criteria is not met, you can throw an error in mapping.
You may also incorporate this condition in your Receiver determination. In this case, if the condition is not satisfied, no receiver is determined in PI.

How to do FCC with SFTP adapter (BIC MD tool)
Dear All,
Hi guys...can anyone tell how to do FCC with SFTP adapter (Seeburger).
Can BIC MD tool do the FCC required. can anyone provide link which tells steps to perform FCC with BIC MD.
we know that we can use the standard module for it. but we are trying to explore this BIC MD and its limitations.
Regards,
SenthilprakashHi,
Im closing this thread as its open for long time now.
well i have even found the solution for the same.
SFTP adapter as such does not have FCC functionality.
we have to use SAP Modules for performing FCC in SFTP adapter.
for complex conversions (more than 3 levels) we can use BIC tool and then deploy the module in our adapter.

Need to read source file without deleting it - Sender SFTP adapter
Dear friends,
The data from the source file needs to be read by PI on a daily basis. The file should not be deleted.
Vendor updates the file on a daily basis with file name DataFeed.xml
How to acheive this in Sender SFTP adapter ?
Kindly guide me
RenuHi Renu,
Unfortunately as of latest release of SFTP adapter. Arching is not possible :(. really dont know why :).
as a work around what you can do is create a scenario as 1 sender and 2 reicever.
here: 1 sender: will be the sender fileadapter which will pick the file from souce.
1st receiver: will be a receiver file channel which will palce back the file in the source Archive folder.
2ed Receiver: this will be the actual receiver to which the data has to be given.
Or write a Module in Sender adapter which will archive the files in new location.
Note: Here i am assuming that each time the source creates a new file with same name which contains new data in it everytime.

Picking file in sequence/Queuing in sender SFTP adapter.
Hi Experts,
I am using SFTP adapter in sender side, it has no option of quality of service ( EOIO) and queue name as we have in FTP adapter configuration .Is there any predefined module provided by Sap which i use in the modules Tab in communication channel configuration to get the functionality of queuing ? just like we use strictXMlto plain bean etc.
I have 3 files which needs to proccess in a sequence one after another in order.I CANT USE BPM or Even FTP because of Security reasons.
please share you ideas.
Regards,
AnikaHi all,
I have tried using AF_Modules/DynamicConfigurationBean in module tab present is the sender SFTP adapter with the attribute qualityOfService.
parameter name Parameter value
key.0 insert http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/Messaging qualityOfService
value.0 ExactlyOnceInOrder
But in Moni i dont see the 3 messages didnt go in the same queue.But when i double click and open the dynamic configuration present in the soap header section i can see the values which i given in the module parameter.
Is there any way i can change the quality of service to EOIO at runtime ? how to change the default EO to EOIO.

Hi
I want to transfer the file from one location to another locatoin through Seeburger SFTP adapter, is it possible?, If yes could you please suggest how to do and provide any documents/links.
By using File adapter we can send the data
/people/william.li/blog/2006/09/08/how-to-send-any-data-even-binary-through-xi-without-using-the-integration-repository
Like this i want to send the data through SFTP.
Thanks
RameshI had a same question long time back.
The way to do this is - Exchange the server keys ( Your admin can generate it)
Install the keys ( server keys ) from the target system in your source server ( where you have SFTP adapter installed). If you have user id and password you can choose in the drop down of the SFTP adapter.
Yes, FIle adapter is configured to pick the file and virual receiver.
Another pointer was - there are some fields which are mandatory like mapping where you can use DUMMY.
To send to the target - configure the receiver adapter.
Make sure your fire wall is open for the port needed for SFTP.

Hi All,
We've an existing interface that picks up IDocs from SAP using WCF-SAP adapter, these IDocs contain updates to data that are in turn subscribed by two other SAP systems via couple of Send Ports using the same WCF-SAP adapter. In production we've been facing
performance issues with this design as when there are mass updates in SAP, they push up to 7 to 10K IDocs through, which BizTalk struggles with and that also creates issues for SAP as the queue is not read in quick time which starts building up and creates
issues on the source system.
Now one of the solution proposed for above problem is to use a file based adapter like FILE, SFTP etc. where SAP will publish IDocs as flat files, I believe that'll solve the problem of backlog building on SAP queue and SAP can continue to write files without
impacting by BizTalk not picking them up but would it help in inside BizTalk performance as well? or we'll have to batch the files in using adapter properties (i think it works on SFTP adapter) say take in 100 files every 30 seconds? Any other solution which
can speed this up?
Thanks
SyedI was just reading this
Restrict the number files Picked up by BizTalk FTP Adapter msdn
thread and it says
"Not possible, the Maximum Files setting only controls how BizTalk creates the message batch
to write them into SQL. This also applies to the File adapters Number of messages in a batch"
So , you need to implement some kind of controller pattern in your solution to manage this floodgate.
Have a read of
How to implement Concurrent FIFO Processing in BizTalk technet wiki article, this for FIFO but this may give some idea to write a controller.

Hi there,
I am looking for step by step instrcutions on how to configure SFTP Codeplex adapter for both receive and send ports.
Out business partner with whom we push/poll the files from wants us to use SSH encryption/decryption etc.
Just wondering if the following functionality is supported in Codeplex SFTP adatper without having to write any code.
Appreciate if there is manaul to do this for SFTP. BTW I do have all the our public and private keys and business partners Public key for configuring.
For Send port: 1. we would need to encrypt the file with our business partners public key
2. sign the file with our private key.
3. Send the file through to SSH client which eventually transfers to Remote server.
Receive port: 1. Connect to SSH Server with SSH-2 key and receive the file
2. Verify the file's digital signature agaisnt the Business partners PGP public key
3. Decrypt the file using our PGP Public key
Thanks in advanceYes it is supported.
You can find its documentation in this link
You can find section X.509 Certificate Identity Keys
You can set public and private key in property SSH Identity thumbprint of send and receive port
I prefer to test it using client tool like
FileZilla or WinSCP then test it using sftp adapter

BizTalk Server 2013 SFTP Adapter with private key - Did not poll any files
Hello,
We have a requirement to connect SFTP secure site with the private key and polling files. Initially I have
tested BizTalk Server 2013 SFTP Adapter receiver Port using Bitvise SSH SFTP Server tool and it was working perfectly in our local network environment( with public private key authentication).
However when we connected to Client SFTP server with private key authentication, It successfully connected to SFTP Server but
did not poll any files from SFTP Site. I added only one file to SFTP Server ( 145 kb file) for testing purpose.
However BizTalk Server 2013 SFTP Send Adapter is working well with the same configuration.
I could not find any errors in Event viewer also. I can download\upload file using WinSCP tool .
So I downloaded nSoftware SFTP Adapter trial version and deployed on server. nSoftware SFTP adapter is also working find
without any issues for Client SFTP Site.
This is the configuration on SFTP Receive Adapter
This is how SFTP Server download folder permission configured. I have got this details using WinSCP tool.
<o:p></o:p>
Appreciate your help on this.<o:p></o:p>
Thanks<o:p></o:p>
PrabathD<o:p></o:p>BizTalk Adapter for SFTP is where the polling logic is implemented. It is not part of the SFTP Client logic. any SFTP Client is for User Interaction and you do what you want/when you want.
The BizTalk Receive however is for purposes of automation and the adapter polls the receive location using the credentials every polling interval to check for the files matching the filter. When it find a file, it will read and publish to message box or
submit to pipeline for processing. Your setting the polling interval to 0 (ZERO) might actually be disabling the polling.
Set your poll interval to a non-zero value and check the behavior.
