How to Handle Empty Files

Hi Experts,
I am doing File to File Scenario.
If my Sender systems file is Empty , that means there is no Records in the File .
How to Handle Empty Files ??????????
I want to know For both Sender and As wel as Receiver Adapters
Please Let me know..
Regards
Khanna

See if u are having a sender file adapter and the file is empty u can tell the if it has to 'Process the empty file' or 'Skip the empty file processing'.
Similarly if you have a message to going to your Receiver file adapter and the message is empty then you can decide still if you want to create a 'File with empty records' or skip creating the same.

How to handle empty file using sftp adapter

Hi,
Please explain me how to handle empty files in sftp adapter.
Thanks,
Enivass

Hi 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 Process empty file in Text (FCC) to Text (FCC) file scenario using G

Interface has to pick text files from the source system and deliver on target system as text file. If the source text file is empty (zero Bytes), interface has to delivery an empty text file on target system.
To accomplish this , we have developed an interface in PI system using graphical mapping and to process and delivery the empty files used empty file handling options on both communication channels. We have used Graphical mapping to transform the source file.
Interface is working fine if the source file is not empty. But in case of empty file, interface failed with an error message 'Parsing an empty source. Root element expected!' . We tried with all the available option on graphical mapping editor to fix the issue. But none of the options are worked.
Could you please let me know how to fix this issue.

Hi,
If you are picking empty text file and to put the same empty text file as (FCC) on the reciever side, then need not do any mapping, Also skip IR part.
To developing this interface, there is no need to create any objects in the Integration Repository (IR). This means no mapping. if the data is not in XML, then no mapping can be done. So, only need to work in the Integration Directory (ID).
For this scenario we can use only with integration directory in the XI.
Open Integration Directory and create new scenario
Create Business Service
Create sender Communication Channel with parameter of the source location
Create receiver Communication Channel with parameter of the target location
Create Sender Agreement with outbound Interface = <DummyInterface>, Namespace = <DummyNamespace> and sender Communication Channel
Create Receiver Determination with outbound Interface = <DummyInterface> and Namespace = <DummyNamespace>
Create Interface Determination with inbound Interface = <DummyInterface> and Namespace = <DummyNamespace>
Create Receiver Agreement with inbound Interface = <DummyInterface>, Namespace = <DummyNamespace> and receiver Communication Channel
Activate
Note: The <DummyInterface> should be unique and the <DummyNamespace> can either be an existing namespace or a new namespace.

How to handle additional files.

Hi,
In PI we can pick up additional files in the Sender File Adapter.
My scenario would require to pick up invoice1.txt and and invoice1.jpg (the .jpg is the additional file)
I need to get FCC for .txt file, map it, and send it out to R3 with a proxy.
The additional file should go to a share (also on the R3, and then be accessible via a link)
Is this possible?
What configuration is needed to separate the .txt from the .jpg? Would it require BPM?
Any useful pointers/documents on the subject would be appreciated
kr
Robert

Hi,
I know how to configure the sender file adapter to pick up the additional file.
What i am looking for is how to handle it inside the integration engine, because i need to split the message from the additional file.
As mentioned above i need to send the .txt file via proxy to R3 and the .jpg file as is to R3, but it needs to go a share on the R3 directory.
file.txt + file.jpg --> Sender File Adapter --> PI / --> Proxy --> records form the file.txt
\ --> Receiver File Adapter --> .jpg
Thx

How to handle Big FIles in SAP PI Sender file adapter

Hi all ,
I have developed a interface , where it is File to Proxy, it is fine when i do with small and normal files
The structure contain one Header unbounded detail and one Trailer, how to handle when the file size is more than 40 MB
Thanking you
Sridhar

Hi Sridhar Gautham,
We can set a limit on the request body message length that can be accepted by the HTTP Provider Service on the Java dispatcher. The system controls this limit by inspecting the Content-Length header of the request or monitoring the chunked request body (in case chunked encoding is applied to the message). If the value of the Content-Length header exceeds the maximum request body length, then the HTTP Provider Service will reject the request with a 413 u201CRequest Entity Too Largeu201D error response. You can limit the length of the request body using the tting MaxRequestContentLength property of the HTTP Provider Service running on the Java dispatcher. By default, the maximum permitted value is 131072 KB (or 128MB).You can configure the MaxRequestContentLength property using the Visual Administrator tool. Proceed as follows:
       1.      Go to the Properties tab of the HTTP Provider Service running on the dispatcher.
       2.      Choose MaxRequestContentLength property and enter a value in the Value field. The length is specified in KB.
       3.      Choose Update to add it to the list of properties.
       4.      To apply these changes, choose (Save Properties).
The value of the parameter MaxRequestContentLength has to be set to a high value.
The Visual administartor tool may be accessed using this link

In short ICM parameters to reset values for this case are
icm/HTTP/max_request_size_KB
icm/server_port_ TIMEOUT
rdisp/max_wprun_time
zttp/max_memreq_MB
Please look into this thread to know more about ICM parameters

Second solution is that you must split the source file, so that each file is less than 5MB in size, then PI would not cause problem for file size between 1MB-5MB. you can insert header and trailer for individual smaller file obtained after split. All this can be done using scripts or conventional programing provided individual records within file are independent of each other. Finally you have to rename each new file created and put them in PI folder in sequential manner. All this can be achieved by simple shell script/batch file, a C code or java code. If you are going for a C or Java code you need a script to call them from PI communication channel parameter "run operating system command before message processing".

REG: Handling empty files

Hi All,
I have a flat file as input and to convert it into xml i am using FCC. When i get an empty file my channel is picking up the file and it is failling in the mapping because file is blank.I want document name and the namespace created for that empty file so it wont fail in the mapping. the reason i need empty file is ,i need the name of the file.Please suggest me a solution how this can be achived.
Thanks in advance,
Siva

Hi
Then write a logic for the node
if Source node (ifexits) then map the source node to Target node
else
Map constant (Space) to the target node , if no source node the it will create just target node.

How to handle empty Dats field received from SAP RFC response

Hi All,
I am invoking a SAP RFC which gives me a Dats field in response.
A valid dats fields is successfully received by my pipelines.
But when an empty Dats field is received, My pipeline fails and i get error.
How to handle the empty Dats field from SAP

Hi Anant,
This is because the legacy SAP adapter accepted RFC messages with date field empty. In the new version, the same call results in an error. WCF-SAP adapter doesn't allow blank XML nodes.
You need to use the below custom pipeline component as a workaround.
Refer:
Pipeline component for enabling legacy behavior in WCF-SAP adapter.

How to generate Empty file

Hi all,
I need to generate a empty file via XI when then there is no file in the sender directory during the particular time.
we can't go with adapter module solution to do these.
Please provide with the possible solutions.
Thnz
Faheem

Hi,
"I need to generate a empty file via XI when then there is no file in the sender directory during the particular time"
your requirement looks a good example of BAM (Business Activity monitoring)....
1) you can implement it using a BPM. Implement a condition in BPM for the first Receive step....
2) this condition should check for how long it should wait to receive a file (have this time duration confirmed..)this will tell you that there is no file in the server to pick...
3) develop a dummy structure (DT)....when your condition in step 3 is satisfied you can use this structure.
4) before using this structure create a mapping with target as this dummy structure...change the occurence of the root node to 0..1
5) In this mapping disable all the target fields. this will create an empty output.
6) send this output to the desired location and you have created your empty file.
I have not tested or implemented this scenario....this is only what I would have tried doing in the first attempt.
If you succeed using this method then dont forget to post the final solution.

Abhishek.

Time Machine - how it handles 'temporary' files

I'm wondering how Time Machine handles 'temporary' files. By 'temporary' I mean the following. Supposing that I want to make some legitimate copies of some DVDs that I have made. I load up DVD1 and make a copy. I load up DVD2 and make a copy. I then delete DVD1 and DVD2 from my iMac as being no longer required. Now suppose Time Machine backed up before I did the delete. I think that I am right in saying that Time Machine will faithfully backup DVD1 and DVD2. After all, that is what it is supposed to do. But when I delete DVD1 and DVD2 from my iMac, Time Machine will not delete DVD1 and DVD2 from its' backup archive (again, because that is what it is supposed to do).
So if I continue to make copies of DVDs..say 50 different ones...then that means that, my Time Machine backup will fill up with 50 x 4.7Gb (ie over 200Gb) of stuff that I don't want.
Please understand that I don't have an issue with TM. Just want to understand the underlying mechanics a bit more. If my premise is correct then I guess the easiest option is to temporarily inhibit TM from doing its' backup while I am going through the load/copy/delete process. Only must remember to turn TM back on afterwards.
Thanks

no, this will not be this bad. TM constantly thins its backups. it keeps hourly backups for 24 hours and then deletes all but one of them. it keeps daily backups for 30 days and then deletes all but one for every week.
so if you had copies of some DVDs on your drive for a very short time they will likely be gone from TM backups by tomorrow.
if you still think some might be kept too long exclude the folder where you create them from TM backups. that's done by adding it to the TM exclusion list in TM system preferences->options.

Regarding ssis - how to handle new files in for each file enumerator

Hi,
I have one folder with 5 file text files by using for each file enumerator we store the files in to one folder but suddenly tomorrow one file add to that folder how to
store the file into same destination?

Inside foreach loop add a script task to check if file exists in destination folder. if exists set a boolean flag variable to True. Then link it to file system task you've using a conditional precedence constraint (Expression And Constraint). Set constraint
as OnSuccess and expression as below
@FlagVariable == False

How to handle ASCII file in file download

Hi:
I have an applet that will download mutiple files to client's PC at the background. It handle binary files (e.g. word, excel) OK.
However, for ASCII file, it lost the line feeds, etc. so my multiple-lines file become 1 line (seems to be transfer via binary mode). Anyway to fix this ?
The relevant code segment looks like this:
public class Filedownload extends JApplet
public Filedownload()
String FileName1="template2.doc";
String webFile1 =

String outfile2 =
"c://dev//mail-merge//" +FileName2;
try {
System.out.print("Start downloading file "+FileName1+"\n");

InputStream in = url.openStream();
byte[] buf = new byte[1024];
int len;
OutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(outfile1);
while ((len = in.read(buf)) != -1) {
//write byte to file
out.write(buf, 0, len);
//close the stream
in.close();
System.out.print("End downloading file "+FileName1+"\n");

How to handle empty variable in BPEL Assign.

Hello ,
I am using SOA 11g R1
I have created one Human task with task Details. Also i am assigning the Usercomments/task/comments to onw of my variable, but if I dont provide the comments from worklist comments section, and approves the task, My Assign is giving error as it is empty. So i want to know is there any function in BPEL which can handle Empty string.
Thank you,
Sandeep

By using this type
bpws:getVariableData('Invoke_DB_WorkOrderNumber_DB_WorkOrderNumber_OutputVariable','OutputParameters','/ns10:OutputParameters/ns10:P_Name')
!=''
also i cant give counts because before comparing accessing variable itself gives empty <message fault > error.
I am still getting selection failure fault as my comments is empty (i..e I am not giving comments)
does bpws:getVariableData() itself try to access the given parameter and populates empty error.?
I tried
bpws:getVariableData('AssigneeApprovalProcess_1_globalVariable','payload','/task:task/task:userComment/task:comment') !=''
string-length(bpws:getVariableData('AssigneeApprovalProcess_1_globalVariable','payload','/task:task/task:userComment/task:comment') )>0
but same error still.
