How to raise Alerts for Sender File Channel

Hi All,
For Sender File Channels , we can find out the status of the adapter through RWB as to whether it is Content Conversion related exception or Folder path not found exception & etc .
I wanted to know as to whether there is any way where can rasie alerts for Sender File Channels (similar to what we do for Reciever File Channels) as well.
Regards
Vinay P.

I found it myself .
In Alert Configuration while we are adding alerts for a particular aler category , the following parameters needs to be checked .
Connected to Message : Not Relevant
Sender Service/Party/Interface/Namespace needs to be mentioned.
Adapter Type should be selected as File

How to raise alert in BPM

Hi Experts,
Please tell me how to raise alert using control step in BPM. What are the other steps to be used with control step for raising alerts?
Is CCMS Alerts and Alerts by BPM are same? If they are not the same, how they are different to each other?
my requirement is, simply i want to raise a mapping, data related errors by Alert.
in addition to it, i want to raise alerts for any failure in IE.
Could any one tell , what are the sequence of steps needed in BPM for the above requirement? Plz take a IDOC to FTP receiver scenario and explain me BPM steps.
thnx

Sender File Channel unable to process

Hi,
I have a scenario where we are using a sender file channel. It polls every 1 hour at the source directory.
Suddenly yesterday the channel stopped processing and never polled again automatically.
It started the processing but did not finish the processing. (There is no error)
Now when I manually restart the channel it directly goes to the polling interval and gives the log :
"Polling interval started. Length: 3600.0 seconds" every 1 hour. It does not start the processing of channel.
As an additional information I checked that the Server to which it is polling had some error at the time when it stop processing.
Please help how could I start the channel processing now? Is there some kind of lock issue or anything else.
Thanks,
Vikas

Hello Vikas,
In addition to the previous posts, check the following as well.
1)
As I donu2019t know which SP level your system is on, please check the note below and apply the patch accordingly.
> 1317686 - Adapter Framework Scheduler may fail to remove a job
2)
Check whether you have deployed on your system the patches described in this note (as as mentioned in the post above).
> 1083488u2013 XI FTP/JDBC sender channel stop polling indefinitely
3)
Please check if there are locks (as as mentioned in the post above) for this channel according to section u201CHow to manually delete hanging Enqueue-Locksu201C in note:
> 821267 - FAQ: XI 3.0 / PI 7.0/ PI 7.1 File Adapter
Follow the instructions and delete the lock related to the stopped communication channel.
For the 7.1 versions, please note that the Lock Manager is under the /nwa/locks, or on the location "Availability and Performance Management -> Locks".
4)
Configure a timeout for the FTP connection.
In more recent support packages you can set the "Timeout" parameter available in the "FTP Connection Parameters" section.
Alternatively, please enable the "Advanced Mode" for the respective FTP communication channel in the Integration Directory and add an entry "ftp.timeout"=timeoutSecs (without any quotation marks) to the "Additional Parameters" section, where timeoutSecs is the desired FTP timeout in seconds.
Please refer to the note below for further details on this.

BPM: How to Raise Alert and Restart together ?

The requirement is like this.My Integration Process receives a message, performs a 1:N split and undergoes further processing using Transformation steps. I want to ensure the following in case any one of the Transfofrmation fails(Because of some coding error in the step):
1. Raise an Alert
2. Should be able to restart the Process again from the
   failed step once the Transformation code is fixed.
3. To raise an Alert for any file adapter level errors,
   and to restart the processing of the message once the
   file adpter error is resolved
I have tried the following approaches, but it does not help me achieve all of the above condition.
I have put the Transformation step in a Block and introduced an exception branch with one control step which raises an Alert.
Issue: This will raise an alert when the step fails, but it ends the BPM with a Processed status and hence I will not be able to restart the BPM.
So I put another Control step immediately following the Alert step which raises an exception. However I have not handled this exception. Hence when a step fails, I am able to raise an alert as well as the BPM gets errored out.
Issue : However, now when I restart the process in swf_xi_swpr, The process restarts with the Control step which was used to throw exception. It does not restart with the Failed mapping step.
To raise Alerts for Adpter level errors which might occur before the message comes to BPM, I have defined alert category and rule in runtime workbench. However, the Alerts are not triggered when the file adapter fails.
Please share any ideas on how to achieve all the 3
requirements together.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Joachim!
I was facing a very similar problem in my BPM modelling.
Is there really no other chance than to loop (and maybe wait some time) over the critical (e.g. networking down, ...) parts of the BPM to have some active notification via alerts AND a possibility for retry?
In my opinion this would a very inflexible way of doing error-handling stuff - if so - is it about to change in the upcoming releases?
Currently I guess I can have:
a) either ALERTING (by catching exception and raise alert)
OR
b) convenient retry mechansisms via "SWF_XI_SWPR" (by not catching exceptions at all and let the relevant block become "errorenous") ...
Any other suggestions ...?
Many Thanks,
Andy

Multiple FTP server files for sender File adoptor

Hi,
we have a requirement to pick files from different FTP servers and send it as a proxy message to ECC.File structure format for both FTP server locations is same and I need to send as a same proxy message.
Please let me know how to achieve this. Thanks.
Regards,
Rajesh

Hi Rajesh,
Here you are having two FTP Server to pick the files so that you need to create below list of objects.
For two different FTP Server you need to create two different sender systems
2 sender File channels
2 sender agreements
2 receiver determinations
2 interface determinations(use single inbound interface in both interface determinations)
2 receiver agreement
If you want to use single sender then
2 sender File channels
2 sender agreements
2 receiver determinations
2 interface determinations(use single inbound interface in both interface determinations)
1 receiver agreement
thanks,
madhu

Multiple Archive directories in Sender file channel

Hi Experts,
My requirment is to have multipple archive direcotories in Sender file channel.
We have multiple source dirs e.g.
c:/abc/
c:/bcd/
c:/cde/
and we want to archive the files from these source dirs to corresponding archive directories e.g.
c:/abc/archive
c:/bcd/archive
c:/cde/archive
I can see that we can have only 1 archive directory when the processing mode is kept as "Archive"
How can we achive the same , Please help
Thanks in Advance,
Jyoti

Hello,
I guess you don't have option to archive files in different directories using single CC.
You can archive the files in 1 directory and then run a OS script, which will place the files in different directories (using NFS as protocol).

FCC Paramenters for Sender File Adapter

hi
I am using FCC in the Sender File Adapter. I have defined the structure as below. Fields ID, Filename, Values will be generated at Runtime as I have defined Used Defined Funtions for Both.
Only I will Pass the value in Body. i.e "Hello".
So How should I define the FCC Paramenters For Sender File Adapter ?
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ns0:MT_Source_FILE xmlns:ns0="http://city.net/FILEtoHTTP">
   <Message>
      <Id>123456</Id>
      <Head>
         <Id>123456</Id>
         <Filename>sample.xml</Filename>
      </Head>
      <Body>hello</Body>
   </Message>
</ns0:MT_Source_FILE>
In the source text file, Do I need to send only "Hello" value because ID and filename will be generated at runtime?

Cluster node (1 out of 6) is in error for a file channel - SAP XI

Hi,
In one of a sender file channel for an interface, one java node out of 6 configured ones failed. The error message says "Login Incorrect" while the other cluster nodes are polling properly. I have tried to update the password in the channel's configuration in Integration Directory and activated it. This doesnt help. Please advice!
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Kumaran

Hello Kumaran,
The status of the file adapter is not reflected properly but this should not have an impact. No message might have arrived at that node yet. Once it receives a message for processing, the status will be changed.

How Can I Search for Media files by Length?

I want know how can I search for media files (mov, mp4, flv and movie files in general) by their length?
If this search function is confirmed as definitely not possible on the OS, I would appreciate someone recommending app that might be able to perform such a search?
Many thanks

No possible way. Because the files may be enoded with differing codecs, compression, etc., you can only sort by file size, not the 'length' of the movie files.

The file is not getting picked, the processing mode is set to "Delete". Please help me out in resolving it.
Any hep would be rewarded.

Hi,
Check whether you have given the filename to other communication channel as well. Because it seems to execute another interface where you have a JDBC been used.
If so change the file name in CC and in your file and check it once again.

[JS][CS3]how to get refrence for source file

Hi All
I am new and learning javascript Gradually Could any one help on this as i do have a code for load style but don't know how to get refrence for "source file" and "targetDoc"
targetDoc.importStyles(charImport, sourceFile, clashPolicy);
targetDoc.importStyles(paraImport, sourceFile, clashPolicy);
Can any one figure it out
Many Thanks

I'm not sure what you are trying to achieve, could you please elaborate?
Do you want to load all the styles from one document into all 100 documents, or do you want all the styles from the 100 documents into 1 document or what is the goal?
The following will let you choose a folder of files, open each of the files in it and import the styles from source document. It is not a complete script, make sure to test and modify before running on anything else than test files :-)
var MyFolderWithFiles = Folder.selectDialog ("Choose a folder");
var sourceFile = File.openDialog("Choose the styles source");
var myFiles = MyFolderWithFiles.getFiles("*.indd");
for(i = 0; i < myFiles.length; i++) {
    theFile = myFiles[i];
    app.scriptPreferences.userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevels.NEVER_INTERACT;
    var targetDoc = app.open(theFile, true);
    app.scriptPreferences.userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevels.INTERACT_WITH_ALL;
    targetDoc.importStyles(ImportFormat.CHARACTER_STYLES_FORMAT, sourceFile, GlobalClashResolutionStrategy.LOAD_ALL_WITH_OVERWRITE);
    targetDoc.importStyles(ImportFormat.PARAGRAPH_STYLES_FORMAT, sourceFile, GlobalClashResolutionStrategy.LOAD_ALL_WITH_OVERWRITE);
    targetDoc.close(SaveOptions.YES);
