How to schedule Adapter to Pickup File on external FTP Server

Any solution is very much appreciated for the following Problem.
My Scenarios are File to XI to FIle
My problem is XI is picking up file on FTP Server while file is being written by Webservice ( This Webservice can not write .tmp file or movie file from one directory to another. So these options are ruled out )
These are proposed steps:
1. Job Scheduler creates Dummy File on XI File System
2. XI Picks up File on XI File System and Invokes External Webservice and receives Response that a File "MadFile" has been written to external FTP Server.
3. After XI receives response from webservice, XI should get "MadFile" from FTP Server
How Can I implement step 3 above.
( Please do not suggest executing scripts as the the application where webservice running do not want to write it )

ST,
At times one has to take a stand and using a BPM like this is actually complicating things. Using the script option is the best solution!
Menahwile, even BPM solution doesn't make sense to me as like you correctly told, your Second Receive Step can poll over the file and pick up the temporary file! Even if you can handle this using Adapter Scheduling, you would need Correlation and I am pretty sure that as you are using a dummy file, this also cannot be achieved!
Would suggest that another option would be to ask the webservice to send a call directly to XI after writing the file. The moment XI receives the Webservice request, XI can invoke a java proxy to collect the file ( polling using File adapter is not going to help ) and then pass this file to the integration engien and so on.
Even my solution is not a very good one, but, if nothing works out, it is something atleast. But, I would ask you to push for the tmp folder plus script.

Transfer Excel file to external FTP server via PGP

Hi SDN!
I have build an scheduled report to generated an Excel-file from an internal table and saved it in the database. Now my task is to upload it to an external FTP Server of a partner company. The File contains sensible data and shall be encrypted via PGP.
How can i upload to an external FTP server and before that, encrypt the file with PGP? I appreciate any help and look forward to reward some great posts.
Thanks for your help!

I found a solution myself, maybe someone is interrested:
I installed a WS FTP Professional on a Server.
Onto this server I wrote the files that have to be ftp-uploaded into one specific folder.
A Perl Script in the scheduled tasks of the machine checks if a new file is in the folder and starts the upload.
In WS FTP the site upload is defined with all PGP Keys so they are store secure.
This solution can be used by any programming language that is able to write files in the upload folder.

Steffen

Transfer file to an external FTP SERVER

HI Gentelemen!!,
I'm trying to open an external FTP connection, sending a file from the MiniSAP.
Which is the appropiate RFC connection that I have to use??
Anybody know how to set RFC connection to access an external FTP server.
This are the MF that I use:
CALL FUNCTION 'SCRAMBLE_STRING'
To encrypt password
CALL FUNCTION 'FTP_CONNECT'
here i have an import value for RFC DESTINATION
return handle - I use it to close the connection
CALL FUNCTION 'FTP_COPY'
CALL FUNCTION 'FTP_DISCONNECT'
Use HANDLE numbre to close the connection
Thanks for your help.
POLAK.-

I am not sure minisap has sapftp and sapftpa executable.
Anyway the two RFC destination used to do FTP are SAPFTPA and SAPFTP. This are 2 TCP/IP RFC destination (Type T) that launch either the program sapftp or sapftpa on the application server.
If these rfc destination are not setup in transaction SM59 you can try to define them but it might not work on minisap.

How to archive files in another ftp server?

Hi,gurus:
   My scenario is file to file and my sender adapter is ftp adapter.
   Now I want to archive the send file in another ftp server,how can I implement it?
   There is a parameter "Archive files on FTP server" when I choose the processing mode "archive".What's it's use？Thanks in advance.

Hi,Santhosh:
Thanks for your reply.
I have checked your blog before,and it is very useful for me.
I still have a problem about command line.
In an sap note,I found the principle of the execution of the command line is like below code:
import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;
public class test {
public static void main(String args[]) {
try {
Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
Process proc = rt.exec("C:/data/test.bat <param1> <param2>");
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
But you know this method has restriction.If my bat file has many commands,it only execute a part of commands(sometimes 8,sometimes 9 ).
My bat file is like below:
echo open 192.168.67.149 >c:
data
copyResult.txt
echo <username> >>c:
data
copyResult.txt
echo <password> >>c:
data
copyResult.txt
echo cd /receive>>c:
data
copyResult.txt
echo get %2>>c:
data
copyResult.txt
echo cd /ok>>c:
data
copyResult.txt
echo put %2>>c:
data
copyResult.txt
echo cd /archive>>c:
data
copyResult.txt
echo delete send.txt>>c:
data
copyResult.txt
echo quit >>c:
data
copyResult.txt
ftp -s:c:
data
copyResult.txt
del %2
I wanna merge all the "echo" in one command,so it may execute successfully,but I don't know the method.Any ideas?

Hey guys, how can i password protect my files in external hard drive? I want to access those files both from mac and windows PC!

Hey guys, how can i password protect my files in external hard drive? I want to access those files both from mac and windows PC!

If you want a cross-platform solution that doesn't require the use of third-party software, use an external drive with hardware encryption. The device will have either a physical key or a numeric keypad. I don't have a specific recommendation.

How can i check the license file installed on the server CCM 6.1.4

Hi;
i have installed the CCM 6.1.4; and now i want to upgrade to 8.5, but i don't remenber witch type license i have uploaded ( normal or Hospitality).
how can i check the license file installed on this server???
thanks.

Hi Matthew,
I think your idea should work just fine, but you will need to work with;
[email protected]
To put together the proper license file due to this change called the "License MAC"
Customer Impact from New Licensing Procedures
Cisco Unified Communications Manager on VMware on Cisco UCS B-Series Blade Servers uses a different licensing model than Cisco Unified Communications Manager on an MCS server. The MAC address of the NIC card is no longer used to associate the license to the server.
Instead, the license gets associated to a license MAC, which is a 12 digit HEX value created by hashing the following parameters that you configure on the server:
•Time zone
•NTP server 1 (or "none")
•NIC speed (or "auto")
•Hostname
•IP Address (or "dhcp")
•IP Mask (or "dhcp")
•Gateway Address (or "dhcp")
•Primary DNS (or "dhcp")
•SMTP server (or "none")
•Certificate Information (Organization, Unit, Location, State, Country)
This hash of these fields is called the LICENSE MAC
Note : Once there is a change in any of the parameters that creates the License MAC, it will
give you 30 day grace period to generate a new license file for the CM based on new license
MAC.

Polling of the current file from multiple files in the FTP Server

Hello Experts
I am working on a file to file scenario.We have to poll the file from the FTP server which may contain multiple files with different creation dates.The requirement is to poll only the file created in the current date.Could anyone throw some light on this.
Thanks & Regards
Sabyasachi

Hi Sabyasachi,
You can archive the files that you do not need into another folder manually for the first time.
Later you can schedule the file adapter to poll the folder only once in a day (Poll INterval = 86400 secs)
Do not forget to set the option to archive/delete the file that are already processed.

Help Fetching files from an FTP server into a DBase or local folder

Hello Gurus!
I need help to automate or design/write an app capable of (replace a manual process) reading log files in an ftp server folder, this log files are called CDR (Call Detail Record) and named as follow cdr.txt.20020221010000 meaning that this log file was created on 2002/02/21 at 01:00:00.
This CDR log files are generated every hour by a Lucent telephone switch using a software/program called EXS ExchangePlus in ASCII format (fixed length delaminated, Char data type). EXS ExchangePlus writes a record in this CDR/log files after the call is completed, i.e. Calling_Number, Called_Number, Date_connect (yyyymmdd), Time_connect (hhmmss), Charged_time (hhmmss, duration of the call), and so on.
The manual process I am using now is:
1. Log in the ftp server into the folder where the CDRs log files are, located the latest generated CDRs log files and downloaded them into a local folder/directory. Normally I download the CDR for full day or 24 CDRs log files.
1a. Optionally sometimes I used a program called VEdit compiled/gather all 24 CDRs into a single file.
2. Once I have downloaded the CDRs I want to process (normally I process a full day 24 CDRs) I imported then into a Data Base temp table, where then I do the conversion of data types (i.e. Dates and times fields from char type -> to ->Date type) and calculations for billing purposes.
So if somebody can help with this, I would really appreciated ideas or any kind of information on how to automated this process.
I�m familiar with Java2 platform (using JDeveloper ) so if somebody has done something like this before using java, this would very helpful. Or Maybe using Visual Basic 6.0 would help too.
Thanks Gurus, and I look forward to hear from you soon!
Alf Pathros!

Thanks for the idea, even though an example would help me more.
I already found the FTPClient class.
I also would like to knwo if there is a away Ican append/merged various files CDRs into a single/one to then dump/import it into the database

CREATE CONTROLFILE
Caution:
Oracle recommends that you perform a full backup of all files in the database before using this statement. For more information, see Oracle9i User-Managed Backup and Recovery Guide.
Purpose
Use the CREATE CONTROLFILE statement to re-create a control file in one of the following cases:
All copies of your existing control files have been lost through media failure.
You want to change the name of the database.
You want to change the maximum number of redo log file groups, redo log file members, archived redo log files, datafiles, or instances that can concurrently have the database mounted and open.
Note:
If it is necessary to use the CREATE CONTROLFILE statement, do not include in the DATAFILE clause any datafiles in temporary or read-only tablespaces. You can add these types of files to the database later.
An alternative to the CREATE CONTROLFILE statement is ALTER DATABASE BACKUP CONTROLFILE TO TRACE, which generates a SQL script in the trace file to re-create the controlfile. If your database contains any read-only or temporary tablespaces, that SQL script will also contain all the necessary SQL statements to add those files back into the database.

Need Help to locate a file on a FTP server using MediaLocator class

Hi Friends,
This is Venkat. Iam currently working on a Multimedia J2EE web project. Iam working on a requirement to
show Thumbnail view for uploaded media. For this i have downloaded a standalone code from the following site.
http://www.exactfutures.com/index02.htm.
This code converts frames of a media files to jpg images which i can use them to show as Thumbnails.
The code takes file name which is present in project folder as parameter. But in my web project iam using a FTP server to store my media files.
The above code uses Java Media Framework along with another API Fobs4JMF. The media file name is passed to MediaLocator class constructor which is located in the project folder. Iam talking about a standalone application here.
But my project is a J2EE web application.
Now my problem is that, how can i refer a file which is located on a external FTP server and pass it to MediaLocator or some other class.
Say the ftp file URL is mms://wm.testuser.net/12365741/testvideo.wmv
Guys hope you are clear abt my problem. Please help me ASAP.
Below is the part of code
     * Constructor
     public vid2jpg(String path) {
          MediaLocator ml;
          String args = path;
          if ((ml = new MediaLocator(args)) == null) {
               System.out.println("Cannot build media locator from: " + args);
          if (!open(ml)) {
               System.out.println("Failed to open media source");
     * Given a MediaLocator, create a processor and start
     private boolean open(MediaLocator ml) {
          System.out.println("Create processor for: " + ml);
          try {
               p = Manager.createProcessor(ml);
          } catch (Exception e) {
               System.out.println("Failed to create a processor from the given media source: " + e);
               return false;
          p.addControllerListener(this);
          // Put the Processor into configured state.
          p.configure();
          if (!waitForState(p.Configured)) {
               System.out.println("Failed to configure the processor.");
               return false;
          // Get the raw output from the Processor.
          p.setContentDescriptor(new ContentDescriptor(ContentDescriptor.RAW));
Thanks in Advance for your time.

Hi Mani,
Below is code that ran successfully on a cRIO-9002. It looks much the same as yours, please double-check the formatting of your string controls. If things still do not work, let's look at the cRIO more closely.

Posting an Excel file to a FTP Server

Hi,
I have a requirement, where I have to convert the contents of an internal table to an excel file, along with header details and put that file to a FTP Server.
I am able to create an excel file in FTP server, using function module FTP_R3_TO_SERVER and transfer contents of my internal table. But the contents of my internal table are getting copied to one column. How do I get the contents in different columns?
Also how do I get the header details?

Hi,
you can simply create a comma-separated text file on your SAP application server, line by line, each column separated by a semicolon (;). That file can later easily be opened with Excel. Afther the file has been created you can send it to the remote FTP server.
HTH!

File reading in FTP server

Hai,
I want to read the files present in FTP server without downloading.
Using (org.apache.commons.net.ftp.*); this package I can view the files and directories present in particular host and can even download.
But I want to read the files in directories without downloading them for displaying the file contents in my JApplet.
How can I achieve this?
Waiting for reply...
Dhurai

DHURAI wrote:
How I have to specify the path (user name,password) for reading?If you are using the Apache Commons FTP package, as you said, then you don't specify a path. And the path you don't specify wouldn't contain a user name and password because you use those when you make the connection to the server. All of this is covered in the documentation.

File Archive in FTP Server

I'm using odiscpget to extract file from remote FTP server and i have a requirement to archive the file after successful extraction into archive directory in the same server.
Do i have an utility to perform a file move in remote server from ODI?
Thanks in Advance

odiscpput will look for a file in local directory to move to remote server isn't it?Yes .. it is.
If you want to do file operation on the remote server only then you need to write your own code for it.
