HOW TO SCHEDULE A FILE ADAPTER

Hi all
I need some info from all the XI experts that are in this forum.
I have to develop a very simple interfaz File to FIle Easy no problem at all. The Problem cames when we have to execute it every day at the same time.
I´ve been looking for the idea Here, but the solutions that I have found are for delay the message but once it is in XI, but I don´t want it in XI until the hour is the expected.
And because the interface is too simple I don´t want to use BPM.
Any idea?
Many thanks!!!!

Hi,
it will be possible with XI SP19 (end of this year)
right now it's not

Schedule sender file adapter

hi all,
Is is possible in some way to schedule the file adapter? My requirement is that the file is created in the source directory at 8:00 am but I need to pick up the file only at 11:00 am. How can I do this? How are these scenarios typically handled?
thanks,
lasya

Hi,
Unfortunately it's not yet available. According to recent thread on this forum, this functionality could appear with SP20 (thus about at the end of January), but it could be after...
Sap TechEd news
Another solution could be:
1. Your sender sent the file in folder F1, when I want to do it.
2. Create a litle Java function or a DOS command which take a this file from folder F1 and move it to folder F2
3. Schedule this one by a Windows Task in order to plan it exactly when you want.
4. Inside XI, your File sender CC pick up file in folder F2.

Scheduling the file adapter

Hi,
i know that file adapter can't be schedualed, however my customer want to send me a message that a file has arrived and only then to wake XI to proccess it.
I don't want to use BPM.
Any thought of a workaround?

Hi,
I guess I have been seeing many requirements for 'scheduling XI messages' especially 'adapter-level scheduling'.
'Adapter-level scheduling' ability is not currently available in SAP NW XI.
What you can do is, make use of the 'Event-driven message processing' feature of SAP NW XI. What it means is, the adapter would pick up the message and it will be held in the XI pipeline for 'delayed message processing'. Then from the central scheduler you can send a trigger to XI to process the message.
Here is a recorded Presentation on this topic:
https://sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/fd89cdb5-0b01-0010-6289-ac0ad1ccc5c0
Here is a recorded Demo on how this can be configured using 'SAP Central Job Scheduling by Redwood' (any other central scheduler that is certified for BC-XBP can also be used):
https://sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/c0cfd2b5-0b01-0010-a8bd-c140d07d310c
The recordings are available in the following Job Scheduling page (SDN -> SAP NetWeaver -> Plantform & Operations -> Administration -> SAP NW Central Job Scheduling by Redwood)
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/docs?rid=/webcontent/uuid/abb91c2a-0b01-0010-6ca6-9f0f62268454#idawk5oe [original link is broken]
In the future you can expect something along the lines of 'a maintenance window at the Adapter/Channel level'. If and when this is made available, it may be possible to activate/deactivate the file adapter (i.e., the communication channel) from the central scheduler.
Hope it is helpful.

How to configure Sender File Adapter to pick couples files in order !!

Hi Folks,
I am really looking for one requirement like, Sender file adapter has to pick multiple files by file name based with some time gap? Can we?
I have got one BPM in this, I have tried with Process mode : Name and Date, with wait step on BPM, but no use. The way how PI behaving, if 40 files in file directory, it is picking all files in one shot. Start processing but not in order.
The problem is on Receiver system side. The receiver system is SNC system, if old data receives later than earlier date data; we get data obsolete application error.
Ex: If I receive 25th and 26th files, first I need to process 25th first on PI sends to SNC, I need to give some time gap and pick another file or even PI picks and process 26th file, no problem but I need to give some time gap to send SNC to this 26th date file?
Please how guys, throw me your great ideas
Thanks in advance!!
Regards
San

@ Sandhya
If there are 40 files , can you please specify how many types of files are ther like say first A type shud be picked then B type then C type and so on so forth ?
LIke in my case I had only three types of files file1 and file 2 file 3
and in the directory also only three files will be placed at a time
you need to have some logic to separate the type of files in differnt folders and then process them
@ farooq yes . it will create problem if 40 files are kept at a time .

Schedule the file adapter

Hi experts,
I use file adapter to read files in the source directory,and I've setup IR and ID. It works very well.
Now I want to let this scenarios run from 12:00 A.M to 8:00 A.M. What to do for this?
Many thanks.

Hi
The solution to your problem is detailed here
/people/shabarish.vijayakumar/blog/2006/11/26/adapter-scheduling--hail-sp-19-
Runtime Workbench -> Component Monitoring -> Communication Channel Monitoring should be accessible and you will need to have the authorizations of the user group SAP_XI_ADMINISTRATOR with the role modify.

How to make BPEL File Adapter read only new files?

Hello
we have BPEL processes that define to run from bpel component - file adatper-
when a file come into location that it is path on the linux server . the bpel start run when "File Adapter" bpel component recognize that new file come to the location. its PollingFrequency define to 5. property name="DeleteFile" value="false" so the files remaine there.
we want to migrate the bpel to new SOA version so we did export and deploy to new SOA Domain.
the location of the file adapter is the same.
but when the BPEL processes deployed its start to run for all the files that are in this location- that the file adapter define on .
even the original soa tooks those files and start the BPEL processes for each one of them. also the new SOA that we did deploy to the BPEL processes take those files even if they are very old.
we want the file adatper we take only new files . the start point is the time when we do deploy to the process so if we do deploy in 10:00 am we dont want this bpel will take files from 9:00 or earlier time
Please help , how we can do this?
Thanks

thank you
do you kno hat the value means in the example:

Scheduling Receiver File Adapter

Hi All,
I would like to know if "Planning Availability Times" works for receiver file adapter (communication channel).
My scenario is IDoc to file. The IDoc from SAP end might be sent to XI at anytime but XI has to create the target file at a specific time on a day (say 9 pm). I'm just wondering if I can use "Planning Availability Times" to schedule the receiver cc.
Thanks in advance.

Joe.

How to know when File Adapter is complete when debatching?

I have a BPEL process that reads in a file and debatches it into records of 1 and inserts them into a table.
How do I know when the entire process is complete and all records in the file have been handled?

Thats the problem with the file adapter. If you use it in debatch mode, you cannot really control the different BPEL processes that get spawned off one file.
The other approach for scenarios where the file is huge, could be to use the adapter in notification mode. So the file adapter will notify the BPEL process, that the file is available, and then BPEL process can read the file using xpath functions or java code etc.
Hope this helps.

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 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

Soa Suite: How to limit Outbound File Adapter retry to write to specified location.

Hi all,
I have created a file adapter that tries to write files to the specified location.
If location is wrong, I was expecting to get an error.
But none is generated.
It seems that the service keeps on trying to write to the specified location until it finds it (which is never to happen).
Please tell if I am wrong at this.
I want my service to stop retrying after a period of time or after a number of retries or whatever is happening.
I want to get error if location is wrongly specified.
Regards and thanks in advanced,

Hi,
Place the receive (or invoke) in a Scope and place a OnAlarm on the scope.
Set the OnAlarm to a max timeout. When the OnAlarm is reached the sequence of that OnAlarm will catch the transaction and you can throw an Error.
You can then catch or retrow the error.
Below some images that show the concept on a receive (download to view).

- OnAlarmSettings

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

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 schedule JDBC sender adapter

Hi guys,
I am doing a scenario where the data is sent from database to SAP (Proxy). Now I interface needs to run just once a month. How can i schedule it to do the same?
Regards,
XIer

Hi,
In the sender communication channel you have to give
606024*30=2592000 in Poll interval for 30 days.
Else
You can schedule your communication channel if your SP is 19 and above. Please see this weblog for some information on this:
