hi,
Search for the file XI7_0_SAP_BASIS_7.00_09_00_2007-08-14_11-04.tpz( Dates may differ here) in your instalable files of XI, then copy this file in D:\usr\sap\XAI\SYS\global\xi\repository_server\import
Then go to IR in XI and in Tools there will be a option Import choose that.

How to customize the File Adapter to put the header line in a variable?

I have a file in which the first line contains the number of records contained by the file itself.
Like this:
4
record1
record2
record3
record4
where each record is a delimited list of values
I need to validate that the records are actually 4.
in the documentation of the File Adapter I see that you can declare the first line as "header", but I have the impression that in this case it would be simply ignored, and not stored in a variable for later use......
Is this correct?
Any trick or workaround?
thank you soooo much!

it worked like a charm,
here is the XSD I have used:

How to activate the File Adapter

Hi All,
There is a strange problem that i am faceing now.
I am using a file adapter to push and pull the file. The problem is just before two days the file adapter was working fine but as the location for the file pushing(file location) was not correct , so it went in the HOLD status. I just cancle the queue to make it clear and then re processed the file .
The starange thing is that it is now not picking of the file , when checked the adapter monitoring, i found that the file adapter is in grey status saying "inactive Led : Component status is not defined "
So also i dont found any item (communication channel) for file adapter.
Any idea from your side will be a great help for me.
Thanks in advance.
JAY.

Hi,
When you activate or deactivate the adapter, then its corresponding services in the J2EE engine become active and inactive.
If possible try to manually activate it. Or try to do some changes in your channel and activate it.
If still this problem persist, do full adapter cache refresh.
And finally restart J2EE engine if possible.
Thanks

How to register a file adapter in XI Server? [XI 3.0 / J2SE Plain Adapter]

Hi,
I am trying to register an outbound file adapter (J2SE Plain Adapter Engine) in the XI server to finally map the adapter to a communiction channel.
What I tried is to activate the SLDaccessor service in the J2SE Plain Adapter Engine (as mentioned in Plain Adapter Docs -> Serive: SLDaccessor Service).
After restarting the Adapter, the protocol in Plain Adapter Engine didn´t show any errors.
Now my problem is where can I find in the "XI-Tools" (SLD, Configuration Builder, ABAP-based Server GUI) that the registration of the adapter did run properly?
What I expected was that my file adapter would appear in the Integration Builder in my communication channel under the tab "Parameters" in the drop-down box "Adapter Engine". Unfortunately, it is not listed there.
Furthermore, I do not exactly understand the benefit of registering the adapter in the SLD. What is the real advantage than establishing a connection between the adapter and the XI with the parameters XI.TargetURL etc.
Regards,
Kris

Jason, thanks for your answer.
Unfortunately, it is not running yet. The Adapter protocol states now:
11:03:00 : No entry in SLD found for Bus.System 'WeissmannBuisSys1'
The corresponding adapter configuration looks like:
XI.SenderParty=
XI.SenderService=WeissmannBuisSys1
XI.Interface=OrderMI
XI.InterfaceNamespace=http://www.foobar.de/sap/xi/test170604
Can I at least assume that there has been a connection to the business SLD?
If yes, I do have a Business System 'WeissmannBuisSys1' in SLD -> Business Landscape as well as in my Configuration Scenario under 'Business Systems'. Is this the right one to specify in the parameter XI.SenderService or will there be something else expected?
Besides that, the corresponding documentation is somehow confusing to me:
You can set the following arguments (except in mode FILE2XMBSTREAM) and use them to identify the adapter configuration during routing and mapping in the Integration Engine pipeline. You can also find an explanation about each argument there.
- XI.SenderParty=<sender party name>
- XI.SenderService=<sender service name>
- XI.SenderInterfaceNamespace=<namespace URI>
- XI.SenderInterface=<name>
- XI.ReceiverParty=<receiver party name>
- XI.ReceiverService=<receiver service name>
You must set at least XI.SenderService and XI.Interface. The receiver is generally determined by routing in the Integration Engine. This specification is not mandatory.
The XI.Interface mentioned in the last paragraph is not listed above in the parameters list. I assume XI.Interface == XI.SenderInterface.
In the german documetation there is also another XI.InterfaceNamespace mentioned in the last paragraph which I assume is XI.SenderInterfaceNamespace.

Kris

How to find the File name using the FTP Adapter

hi all,
how to find the File name using the FTP Adapter with BPEL.
Regards

Found the solution for this.
First In the mediator's routing rule use assign property $in.property.jca.file.FileName to $out.property.jca.file.FileName
In the BPEL's receive activity go to the properties tab and get the property to a BPEL variable. That should do it.
Thanks for the posts

How can i pass the name of the file polled by the file adapter to next step

Hi XI guru's ,
How can i pass the name of the file polled by the file adapter to next step in a BPM..?

Use Adapter-Specific Message Attributes and map that value in udf to the BPM message.

How can I read different files in the file adapter

Hi,
I have a scenario like file(content conversion and FTP) to Proxy and need to read 2 files which have different structures.
The file structures is as follows.
FileA.txt
EMPID, Designtion,code,DOB,dept,deptID and 13 fields etc..
FileB.txt
officercode, dept,workspecs,FLAGarm,FLAGfoot and 27 fields etc.
Both files needs to be read by the file adapter at same time and should send to the proxy to feed in ECC.
Please help me in designing the above scenario with or without BPM.
Thanks
Manmadha

Hello,
Since u want to combine the two files from sender , you need to use BPM for it.
First of all create Mapping. In your mapping program go to messages tab and add the two source messages types and in the target add the target message type. Come to your design tab and design the mappings.
BPM:
-- Insert Fork with two branches necessary condition. In first branch insert Receive step and check start process checkbox.
--In second branch insert Receive step and check start process checkbox.
-- Insert Transformation step after Fork branch step.
-- Insert Send step [the outcome of transformation step needs to be send]
Design the above structure, if you have any doubts, dp reply back.
Best regards,
raj.

Can I use a schema with no targetnamespace with the file adapter?

I am loading a file using a file adapter configured to use an xsd from a third party, the third party controls the xsd and incoming xml and does not have a targetnamespace defined in the xsd or xml.
When I define a file adapter for it the wizard indicates that I need to fix the xsd by adding a namespace. I dont have control over the xsd or xml as they are an external party.
I think I can hand edit the wsdl and change the import statement that requires a namespace to an include statement with no namespace.
Have you run into this before? Will that work?
Thanks,
John

Hi John,
Did we get any solution for this ?
Even in our case, the third party controls the xsd & incoming xml message. Both does not have a targetnamespace defined. The file adapter wizard indicates that we need to fix the xsd by adding a namespace. As a workaround, we manually added the target namespace to xsd and created file adapater. Now the question is how do we automatically add the name space in xml message as well, so that it can be parsed by BPEL process
thanks

The file adapter takes also the mark of the beginning of the file as a char

Hi guys,
I need to use the file adapter for sending data into XI.
My first column of the CSV file contain ID of the objects of length 8 chars. But when the adapter takes also the beginning of the file, the length starts to be 9 chars.
How is it possible to disallow to take this mark?
I didn't find any parameter in the file adapter settings, which could solve this problem.
Thanx for answer! (Points guaranteed )
Peter

Hi Peter,
While configuring sender file adapter, you can do the following.
1. While defining Parameters for Recordset Structures , you can make use of the recordsetstrucure.beginSeparator function which will take the first string in the file as a begin seperator.
i guess this would help you.

Remove XML tags in the File Adapter

Hi,
I have a JDBC to File interface. However, there is a requirement to remove some of the XML tags from XML produced by the File Adapter.
For example,
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ns0:MT_XML xmlns:ns0="namespace">
   <XMLIntegration>
         <Prices COLUMNS="Index, Date, Price">
         <Index>Fuel</Index>
         <Date>2007-05-01 00:00:00.0</Date>
         <Price>0</Price>
        </Prices>
      <Prices COLUMNS="Index, Date, Price"/>
</XMLIntegration>
</ns0:MT_XML>
needs to be changed to
   <XMLIntegration>
         <Prices COLUMNS="Index, Date, Price">
         Fuel, 2007-05-01 00:00:00.0, 120.65
        </Prices>
</XMLIntegration>
Does anyone know how to do this? I'm using the File Content Conversion Message Protocol but I'm not having much success

hi,
you just need to have this:
<XMLIntegration>
         <Prices COLUMNS="Index, Date, Price">
         Fuel, 2007-05-01 00:00:00.0, 120.65
        </Prices>
</XMLIntegration>
as your target message in your mapping
and map all values to Prices tag
you don't need no content conversion - just the mapping

Tuning the file adapter to parse subnodes

I have been looking for a solution, that how to handle Hierarchies in receiver file content conversion but everyone's suggestion is to make it as flat structure, were subnodes cant be handled by File Adapter. But in my case, I should handle the hierarchies. So I traced the File adapter behaviour and now I'm able to achieve it in my case.
My source data will be as follows,
<Root>
<Lineitem>
<no>101</no>
<name>pen</name>
<Comment>
<color>red</color>
<price>20</price>
</Comment>
<Comment>
<color>blu</color>
<price>50</price>
</Comment>
</LineItem>
</Root>
My Receiver FCC parameters are
LineItem.fieldFixedLengths = 3,3
LineItem.absoluteRowWidth = 6
Comment.fieldFixedLength = 3,2,3,2
Comment.endSeparator = 'nl'
Output:
101pen
red20
blu50
The reason I used 3,2,3,2 for Comment.fieldFixedLengths though it has only 2 fields because the parser considers the 'comment' as a field of 'lineitem' but for the 'comment' I had specified 'fieldFixedLength' parameters so it gets the fieldlength of 3rd field and omits the first two were it already passed.But for the other occurrances it going to take first two field lengths.
The absolute row width is to make the subnode to be on next line.
Though I achieved my need through this method, it has some drawbacks like
>The number of elements in parent node must be greater or equal to child node.
>Applicable only for fixedlength files.
>wont applicable if it has more then two levels
It works well, with many occurrences of both lineitem and comment.
I would like to receive the suggestions, since its not SAP recommended method.

How to increase the files picked up by File Adaptor per poll interval

Hi,
We have a scenario where in we post 80 files in the source directory and and the file adapter is configured for every 300 sec but i have noticed that the File adaptor is picking up one or two files per poll interval.Can some please suggest how to increase the number of files picked up by File adaptor
Thank You,
Nandini

Nandini:
Did you mention all the files names in the Adapter channel. One thing you can do is use wild cards and file adapter picks most of them
/people/mickael.huchet/blog/2006/09/18/xipi-how-to-exclude-files-in-a-sender-file-adapter
In case if your files are huge, then I guess file size may cause to process few files during each poll

Unzip the file archived by the File adapter

Hi Experts,
we have a scenario where we are archiving a xml file using the File adapter and also it is being zipped by the OS command.
the script not only zips the file, it also rename the file from *.zip to *.xml.
Hence after archiving when I am trying to open it, the content appears to be junk.
Please suggest how to unzip the file as it got a extension *.xml.
And I also tried renaming the file to *.zip and then to uncompress, but it shows below error
Cannot open : it does not appear to be a valid archive
Thanks in advance,
MK

hi Mk,
instead of using OS command try using the exesting module provided by the SAP, so your job will be easy.
follow this steps in the module processing for UN ZIP
Processing sequence:
Module name: AF_Modules/PayloadZipBean
Type: Local Enterprise Bean
Module key: 3
u2022 Module configuration:
Module key: 3
Parameter name: zip.mode
Parameter value: unzip.
in the commincation channel specify filename.xml
so you can open the file in XML format
Thanks,
Madhav
