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 process other task when reading the data from a file?
Hello,
I met a problem. I created a GUI to control the audio data processing. When the "Start" button is pressed, a block of data is read from the audio file and processed, then loop.But other buttons or method cannot be operated in that procession until all data is processed.
How to let the other methods work under that circumstance? Should I use multiple threads?
The relative code:
SourceDataLine line;
boolean stop = false;
// When press "Start" button, the following method is invoked:
public void play(){
line.start();
int bytesRead = 0;
byte[] dataBuf = new byte[7500];
while (bytesRead != -1& !stop)
try
bytesRead = audioInputStream.read(dataBuf, 0, dataBuf.length);
catch (IOException e)
e.printStackTrace();
if (bytesRead >= 0)
int bytesWritten = line.write(dataBuf, 0, bytesRead);
line.drain();
// When press "stop" button, this method is invoked.
public void stop(){
stop = true;
line.stop();
// When press "***" button, the following button is invoked:
public void ***(){
Many thanks.Looking forward to getting your answer.You have to use a seperate thread :
Wheb you press the start button, you have to make sure a seperate thread is started :
Thread runner = new Thread(){
public void run(){
//Here comes your code which reads the file
runner.start();

How to process special unicode character
I just want to know how to process special entity
such as ä,ü,ÿ,etc.
I use System.out.println() to print these characters, but I can see nothing.
I write this characters into text file,but there are question mark instead.What OS you are using? If you are using WinNT/2K, they should be printed. If you are using others, you could try to change the font used by the console to see if those characters are printable.

How to create empty text file on target system for empty source text file
Hi All,
I have an issue in handling empty file in the Text (FCC) to Text (FCC) file scenario. Interface picks text file and delivers on target system as text file. I have used FCC in both sender and receiver CCs.
Interface is working fine if the source file is not empty. If the source text file is empty (zero Bytes), interface has to delivery an empty text file on target system. I have setup empty file handling options correctly on both CCs.
But when I tried with an empty file I am getting the error message 'Parsing an empty source. Root element expected!'.
Could you please suggest me what I need to do to create an empty text file on target system from empty source text file?
Thanks in Advance....

the problem is that when there is an empty file there is no XML for parsing available. Hence in case you are using a mapping it will fail.
What ideally you should do is to have a module that will check if the file is empty and if so write out an XML as you want with no values in the content/fields.
Or the next choice would be to have a java mapping to handle this requirement. I guess that on an empty file the java mapping will go to an exception which you can handle to write out your logic/processing -

Process empty file : file (fcc) to rfc
Hi Experts,
I have a scenario where. I have to process files and send it to rfc..
file to rfc scenario...
now basically.. when the file is empty the content conversion does not produce any payload and throws error..
can u pls help me in this?Hello,
The problem is that XI will pick up th file with empty payload.. but as there is no content in the file...
the content conversion cannot be done
The content conversion will still be done except that it will not output anything. To do this, set your recordset occurrence to * instead of 1
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwpi711/helpdata/en/44/6713ec3f914ddee10000000a1553f7/content.htm
and mapping throws error...
Since there is no output, the mapping will really throw an error. What you can do is to place a dummy structure, you can use a two-step mapping to do this, in your operation mapping use Java Mapping as your first mapping and in the second mapping, your actual mapping graphical mapping e.g
1.) Read the inputstream and then check if there is a structure. If there is a structure, the Java mapping just passes it to the outputstream. If it is not, then Java mapping will write the dummy structure into outputstream. (Java Mapping)
2.) Output from 1 is passed to Message Mapping
Can you tell us the reason why empty files are needed to be processed? Because this adds overhead in the AE.
Hope this helps,

How to Process an Empty File and deliver to the receiver channel
Hello Gurus,
We had a requirements to process an empty file and send it to the receiver channel . We had successfully configured and polling an empty file, but the message output of the empty file was never sent to the receiver channel. Is there any solution to process an empty file and move it to the receiver directory.
XI 7.0 with latest sp
Thanks so much in advanced,
dnThanks guys for a quick response!
As mentioned above, we had already configured to handling "Process empty files" and were able to have the files polling successfully. The problem that we are facing is that, the output file were never created or delivered to the receiver directory. We want all files to process and deliver to the recipients even though it is an empty file.
Thanks,

How to process huge files using File Adapter without ESR and no FCC?
Hi All,
I came to a scenario where i need to pick the file from R/3 sys which of around 500MB and need to transport it to the Third party sys using PI 7.1 . This is just simply a pass through data i.e.., no mapping is required (no ESR). and i don't to make use of FCC or BPM
My question is can the File Adapter can pick the file which is of 500MB size?
If not then what would be best solution to do it?
Do i need to divide the file into smaller sizes say around 100MB a file each in R/3 sys and then pick those files .
can i do without dividing the files in the R/3 sys?
Thanks in advance.
SaiHi Bhaskar,
If you zip probably the size would come less which may increase his performance a little. But I feel SAP also dont recommend this much load with PI.
If I am in his shoes then I will do a simple FTP without using PI itself. Else will look into other options. Thats my two cents.
Hope this alexs blog will give an idea to Sai:

How to input data into an arraylist from a text file?
I am trying to take data from a text file and put that data into an arraylist. First here is the text file:
[item1, 10, 125.0, item2, 10, 12.0, item3, 20, 158.0]
3
4530.0
[item5, 65, 555.5, item4, 29, 689.0]
2
56088.5
[item7, 84, 34.5, item6, 103, 0.5, item8, 85, 1.36]
3
3065.1The text between the [ ] is the output from my arraylists. I have three arraylists. The first [ ] belongs to arraylist A, the second to arraylist B, and the third to arraylist C. The format of the arraylists is this:
<item name>,<# in stock>,<value of one item>
The first number below the arraylists in the text file represents the number of items in the list. The second number below the arraylists represents the total value of the items in the arraylists.

}Right now I am stuck on this and I cannot progress any further until I figure out how to input the data in the text file back into a arraylist.
Thanks in advance.Thanks but I figured it out. Heres a sample of the code i used to solve my problem:

BufferedReader inA = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(inputFileWarehouseA));
//Warehouse B BufferedReader.
BufferedReader inB = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(inputFileWarehouseB));
//Warehouse C BufferedReader.
BufferedReader inC = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(inputFileWarehouseC));
//Warehouse details BufferedReader.
BufferedReader inDetails = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(inputFileDetails));
//Will hold values in warehouse arraylists.
String lineA = null;
String lineB = null;
String lineC = null;
//Will hold the details of each warehouse.
String line1 = null;
String line2 = null;
String line3 = null;
String line4 = null;
String line5 = null;
String line6 = null;
//Get the item count and total value for each warehouse.
while(inDetails.readLine() != null)

How can I correct "hidden" text in a searchable PDF file?
This seems like a simple question. However, the answers are invariably complex, do not yield the desired result, and often answer a different question entirely. I say all that just to warn people up front that the "problem" is easier than how many people and PDF application developers, including Adobe, typically understand it while the proposed "solutions" are invariably a total...well, botch is a reasonable word if a bit understated.
Here is the actual problem:
I have "searchable" PDF files created by scanning documents and running them through an OCR process. I create "searchable" PDF files in order to archive, index, and eventually enable searching for the documents scanned. A "searchable" PDF satisfies those criteria better than any other commonly used, "portable" archive format -- though I would be happy if someone could point out an obvious alternative I may have overlooked. I do not need perfect OCR results. If I need a document to edit or perhaps feed into a spreadsheet or database, I expect to be able to reprocess the page images in a given "searchable" PDF file to OCR and convert the contents to Word, RTF, Excel, or another file format as necessary with more care for the results than for the archived document itself. Therefore, the "searchable" PDF document is the scanned page images which compose it while the OCR generated "searchable" text is secondary, but still important. Therefore, each file must contain scanned page images of sufficient detail to be efficiently converted by OCR if possible and legible enough for whoever views the images to be able to work out what an OCR process may fail to understand. Once scanned, those pages are the "document" and therefore "immutable." However, OCR is imperfect. For a searchable document archive, it does not have to be, but some errors are significant in that they may prevent the document from being found by a search. Therefore, there must be a way to view and, if necessary, edit the "hidden" text in a "searchable" PDF without altering the visual display of a document or how it is printed. No strike-throughs. No visible "corrections." None of the stuff PDF editors want to insert into a PDF file when editing it. I do not want to edit the document without exporting it to a format appropriate for an editable document. I just want adequately "correct" hidden text in a "searchable" PDF file.
I apologize for the length and redundancy in my description of the problem. However, past attempts to explain my problem and objectives as well as what I have seen in reply to similar queries across the Internet indicate that most people trying to answer this question come at it from the same point of view shared by most, if not all, PDF tool or application vendors. They seem to think that any desire to edit a PDF file is a desire to have a PDF word processor of some sort. Or, they assume that the OCR process employed may need tweaking of the means by which people apply it and then a process like "find suspects" is adequate to deal with any errors. But no, those are not what I am trying to accomplish and answers which address those topics do not answer this question.
In short, which tool or application from any vendor will reveal the "searchable" hidden text in a PDF produced by any OCR or other process and then enable corrections to the hidden text without changing any document display parameters at all? Note, hidden text typically includes bounding box information denoting the portion of the image from which the text was recognized. That information must not be lost or changed when editing the "searchable" text.
So, any tools or applications capable of doing this? If Adobe Acrobat XI Pro can (use of a trial copy demonstrated that the hidden text content can be reviewed, but editing did not work by any straight-forward means I could work out while trying out the application), fine. However, $500.00 list or even a $200.00 possible upgrade from a copy of Adobe Acrobat X Standard which came with my scanner is a lot of money for personal use when review and edit of the OCR generated hidden text in a "searchable" PDF file is the only function I require. Therefore, other suggested tools or applications which do what I need for less would be greatly appreciated.My "claim"? Actually I've made no "claim" such as you've mentioned.
Simply stated your OP has foundational premises that presume as factual what is not.
Here, we're in Adobe's hosted user forum for Acrobat.
Any other application use is not material.
Acrobat XI provides 3 OCR methods.
Searchable Image, Searchable Image (Exact) & ClearScan.
Only the first two provide the "hidden" text output.
(Glyphs have no stroke, no fill)
From back to the Acrobat 3 product family the design functionality of Searchable Image and Searchable Image (Exact) has been to facilitate the use of Find / Search.
The "hidden" text is can be touched up. Acrobat Pro provides the facility to view the hidden text.
So you can see what the OCR output that correlates to the bit-map images of the characters that are present.
With Acrobat XI Pro use Tools - Protection -Remove Hidden Information
In the Remove Hidden Information pane select "Hidden text" then "Show preview".
The default for the preview is "Show Only Hidden Text".
Back in the PDF --
You'd select some of the hidden text and retype what you suspect is the correct string of characters.
Save and return to the preview of the hidden text.
If you got it right, good. Continue.
If not, darn - try again.
Plug 'n chug -- somewhere over the rainbow it'll be done eh.
Full disclosure -- this is something I've done (enquiring minds don't you know).
I've found it to be a rather Sisypean undertaking.
So, "doable" but not practicable.
This is to be expected because such touchups are not the concern / focus of the output from Searchable Image or Searchable Image (Exact) - (the names tell it all).
To have touchup "editablity" of an OCR output using Acrobat make use of ClearScan.
ClearScan replaces recognized character bit-maps with a character from an Acrobat internal font.
The character strings can be selected to change to a generic, system available font.
Something that is good to know when embarking on the "tweak the PDF" journey is that PDF (the file format / technology as defined by its ISO Standard, ISO 32000-1) does not tolerate "editing". PDF is decidely not a word processor file format and "editing" can quickly render a PDF unusable.
Minor touchups can be made and your best "tool" for this is still Acrobat Pro. (Save As often and periodically "bank" the PDF via some file rename scheme.)
Be well... -
I use Adobe Photoshop CS4_Bridge _Photo Downloader to import images from CF Cards into my 11" Mac Book Air. I have an issue with the Text files
that seem to accompany each and every image that I do not need. How do I stop Apple Script (which I assume is the culprit in this case) from interferring with this process.Your iWeb Site is stored not on your iDisk, but on a file named Domain.sites in your ~/Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb/ Folder.
If , for whatever reason, you wipe your HD and/or lose this file (Get a new computer, Re-Install your OS, Stolen Laptop, Crashed HD, Etc.) without backing-up your Domain.sites file then you will have to re-build your iWeb sites from scratch again.
Of course you can edit your Published HTML files in a different program such as Dreamweaver or even Text Edit. You just can't edit Published HTML files in iWeb. Not at this time at least.
Use iWebBackup to backup your Domain file to a Blank CD or DVD. Backing up your Domain file to another folder on your computer is not fully backing it up. If your computer gets stolen you still lost the file but if you have your Domain file burned onto a CD you have a backup!
Download iWebBackup Here
You can use iWebExtender to automatically consolidate your files into one folder and delete multiple images.

Error in processing empty files
We have a requirement where in we the source system sends an empty file (xml,csv,txt) and XI shud process this file and send it to the target systems.
It is a file 2 file scenario we are using.
I have checked the option in the file adapter which says "process empty files"
I see the Error message displayed in the Abap stack Unable to read payload from the message object
Can some one point me how to process this empty file.
Thanks,
NandiniHandling of Empty Files
Specify how empty files (length 0 bytes) are to be handled.
○ Do Not Create Message
No XI messages are created from empty files.
The files are processed according to the selected processing mode.
For example, if the processing mode is Delete, empty files are deleted in the source directory.
○ Process Empty Files
XI messages are created with an empty main payload.
The files are processed according to the selected processing mode.
○ Skip Empty Files
No XI messages are created from empty files.
Empty files are skipped and remain in the source directory.
These three options are available for handling empty files in XI SP 19 and PI SP 10 and above.
Select the option :Do Not Create Message" -
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
KhannaSee 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.
Regards,
