Ichat file sending problem

My brother and i ichat w/ aim. He has a macbook and i have an aluminum imac. When we try to send files he receives them fine but i only get the alert sound and no window pops up for me to accept. Anyone know whats up? It seems that im getting the signal but i can't accept it. Thanks for any advice.
_Ross

I have also been having a problem receiving files in iChat sent to me by AIM users. I tried changing the port to 443, but it didn't seem to fix the problem. I get the message "Unexpected error (possibly -my friend's username here- did not respond in time)". I'm not sure what you mean by "make sure your routing devices is either doing UPnP or allowing port 5190 on UDP," though. I'm connected via ethernet to a college network; do you think that could be the problem?
Also, I'm able to receive files from some users but not from others.
This problem only started when I switched from using AIM (the program) to using iChat with my AIM username.

Sender File adapter problem

Hi,
I have File to JDBC sceanrio, File is on FTP server and data is added in file in every 15 mint. while adding data to file its takes some time.
My problem : when data is being added to file, sender adapter picks the file when addition of data is not completed. so it picks incomplete file and send to target.
What can be the possible solution to be used for this problem or what configurtaion can be done in CC required.
Thanks
Laxmi Bhushan

Hi Laxmi,
is PI picking file in NFS mode or FTP mode?
With NFS mode, you can use setting wait for file modification check. Same setting is available for FTP but it doesnt not work for FTP.
Another option could be ask Source system to generate file with a temporary name & rename once file is writen completely.

Problem while archiving faulty files in File Sender Adapter

Hi All,
I am facing some problem while archiving the faulty files using Sender File adapter.
I have configured the option in the File Sender Channel to archive the files to some
other location. I have configured some custom modules inorder to perform conversion.
My file adapter is not archiving the faulty files. Please help me in this regard asap.
Best Regards,
Surya

I have checked with all the authorization issues. It is still no archiving the faulty file.
Can you please explain the mechanism behind this concept?
How File adapter will decide that it is faulty? On what basis?
How Modules play a role here?

Surya.

Problem in File Sender Adapter in File with quotes

Hi experts.
We're having a problem in File Sender Adpapter.
We've configured the adapter with FCC. We use the fieldSeparator = ; to convert the file to xml.
The problem arises when between two ; appears a quote. For insantce in this line:
HUMALVAL MASCOTAS S.L.;"AV/DE EUROPA SN;P.IND.ALCORCO;28922;ALCORCON;40.349968;-3.847452;
The adapter shows this error:
More elements in file csv structure than field names specified.
If the line was (without "):
HUMALVAL MASCOTAS S.L.;AV/DE EUROPA SN;P.IND.ALCORCO;28922;ALCORCON;40.349968;-3.847452;
everything would work correctly.
How could we solve this?
Thanks in advance.
Regards.

Hi,
Please use xml.enclosureSign=u201C in your sender FCC.
Hopes this helps to you.

Problem in file sender adapter for newline character

Hi All,
I'm trying to read a file of only one record with the following fields.
Name
Age
Place
<b>Each field is seperated by a new line</b> which is the cause of the problem.
<b>The problem is the value 'nl' for x.fieldSeperator is not been recognised in file sender adapter.</b>
The adapter creates a new record (new XML) for each individual field seperated by new line.
<b>I've tried even with the corresponding hexadecimal values '0x0a' and '0x0d'.</b>
Looking for some help.
Thanks,
Joe.

Hi Shabarish,
Thanks for your reply. But I tried that too already... It also didn't work..
File adapter is successful... But it generates seperate records for each fields that's wat the prob is..
Thanks,
Joe.

Problem in message mapping due to file sender content conversion

Hi all
basically i m using file sender content conversion and couldn't make file in a proper nested structure where weight was the nested field of detail as there is a limitation of content conversion in file adapter:
My file came out like this:
<header>
</header>
<Detail>
</Detail>
<Weight>
</Weight>
<Weight>
</Weight>
<Detail>
</Detail>
<Weight>
</Weight>
<Weight>
</Weight>
<trailer>
</trailer>
and i wanted it like:
<header>
</header>
<Detail>
<Weight>
</Weight>
<Weight>
</Weight>
</Detail>
<Detail>
<Weight>
</Weight>
<Weight>
</Weight>
</Detail>
<trailer>
</trailer>
so now the problem is i want to generate an idoc from it....but theres no way out to determine which weight is related to what detail except that the weight related to detail 1 comes after start and end of detail 1 tag and then weights of second detail comes after start and end of detail 2 tag in my source xml file.
The structure of the target idoc is
<header>
</header>
<Detail>
<Weight>
<flag>D1</flag>
</Weight>
<Weight>
<flag>D1</flag>
</Weight>
</Detail>
<Detail>
<Weight>
<flag>D2</flag>
</Weight>
<Weight>
<flag>D2</flag>
</Weight>
</Detail>
<trailer>
</trailer>
so i was wondering if i can make a user defined function in which i feed detail and weight and result a flag d1/ d2 inside the tag field. My logic is smth like
while detail is 1 make all the tag weights coming after detail 1 inside <detail1> tag then resultlist.CC for context change then while detail is 2 make a loop to fill the weight coming after detail 2 inside the <detail2>
Is this possible by any means. I really need help
Thnks
Naina

Hi

HEADER,1,DETAIL,*,Weights,*,TRAILER,*
And plz give me more idea of the adapter module ....is there any blog available which is related to my problem.

IChat cannot send or receive files (images, etc...), crashes.

One particular machine (10.4.11, G5) cannot use iChat to send or receive files. If she attempts to send an image, for example (jpg, just dragged into the text field and sent) she gets an error that reads "AIM error: Could not send instant message to xxx" followed by "The iChat Agent process has unexpectedly quit, disconnecting you from all services. Logging in again will restart it."
This happens to every user account on the machine, .Mac users, AIM users, etc... testing with Adium works fine with the same accounts.
Performed an archive and install, trashed all iChat prefs, ran Onyx, AppleJack, etc... nothing has worked.

So it seems to be a system issue (fails in multiple users), and yet it must be something that isn't replaced by an Archive and Install. Has anyone seen this before, or have any idea on how to fix?
Thank you VERY much.

Hi
Try logging on to AIM on port 443 rather than port 5190.
Go to IChat in the menu bar > Preferences > Accounts.
Log out of AIM and then use the Server Settings tab
Set the port to 443.
Log back in again.

Adobe Send - Problem with uploading files. When is this going to get fixed?

When is the Adobe Send problem with uploading files going to get fixed. Similar to others - I have tried and tried to make Adobe Send work and get an error. I have tried to upload the file and it looks like it uploads and then - it is nowhere to be found.
I then go to Adobe Send Now and it works fine.

The problem is the same as described in other similar threads.
I have a 57 MB PowerPoint file I am trying to send using Adobe Send. I go through the normal steps to identify the file and select recipients and then send the file. After the file completes the upload - an error saying there was a problem comes up and the file is not uploaded.
I have tried to upload the file to the site with similar results - error and the file doesn't go.
I can go to the old SendNow site and it works flawlessly.
If I need to get screenshots - let me know. There are several other threads describing this same problem. It isn't something new or not heard of before.

IChat GTalk File Transfer Problems

Hey guys,
I've noticed that my file transfers keep failing via GTalk. If I drag a picture into the chat window, it looks as though it's going to start sending... but it never does, not network activity at all....
I've found the following two threads:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1502231
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9449766
But with no real answers.... Anyone able to assist?

Hi,
I managed to get hold of EZ Jim.
We did some extensive testing from Leopard to Snow Leopard and back and from Snow Leopard to Snow Leopard.
Results.
1) Leopard GoogleTalk ID to Snow Leopard GoogleTalk ID did not work (Me to him)
Tried logging out of other Jabber IDs
2) Leopard Jabber ID to Snow Leopard GoogleTalk ID also did not work.
Logged out of GoogleTalk in iChat and still no luck.
3) Found I was still logged in to the GoogleMail web page.
No Change on Logging out of Google completely repeated 1) and 2)
We also tried dropping the file on the Buddy's Name in the Buddy List, startng File Sending from the Buddies menu and dropping in a text Chat plus using VIdeo Chat and dropping it on the Box that appears there.
4) EZ Jim could send me files
5) Both EZ Jim And I have the Mac Firewall On Normally but turning it off at both end (with tests with only my end set to Allow All) also did not work.
8) On my Leopard Computer I run Little Snitch.
This was turned Off completely
6) Along the way we also deleted, re-added and re-authorised each other.
7) Changed to Login via my MacBook Pro Snow Leopard to Snow Leopard.
AIM File Sending from my end worked (As a test of file)
GoogleTalk to GoogleTalk IDs did not work from me to him.
Another Jabber ID was tried without improvement.
8) EZ Jim could still Send me Files and Pic-in-Text chats (Direct IMs)
On My MAcBook Pro and the Jabber Account I have there I could not send files to my GoogleTalk ID which was different to my Leopard computer (This may have been the Server Involved).
Summary.
Anything over Jabber whatever the ID or starting method did not get to EZ Jim.
Anything he sent me worked.
As I said My Modem is also my router and is doing UPnP.
I had partial success on the same computer (to myself).
I have yet to find the time to Check Mac to Mac at my end.
I did reboot iChat on my Leopard to make sure it dropped all links to Servers after turning Off the GoogleTalk ID but there was no improvement.
Deleting and re-adding a Buddy and Re-authorising them may prove to have some improvement and would be a first step.
I trust EZ Jim's firewall and/or routing set up is not the cause.
Tests to do.
Mac to Mac at my end.
Me to EZ Jim from my Google Talk on different day and reboot of computer to clear any network/login issues with Google and/or iChat IDs
What is clear is that it works.
What is not clear is what to do when it does not.
I will keep you posted.

Neither "file, send" nor "send link" open email. This problem started a few months ago and has been on-going. How do I resolve the problem?

I cannot email an article from my home page or something found elsewhere on the web by right clicking and selecting "send link". I also try "File, Send Link" without success. How can I fix this problem? I have never had this problem until a couple of months ago. Thanks.

Problem with File Sender directories

Hi everybody.
I have a File Sender.
I´d like to generate dynamically the "Archive Directory" and "Directory for Archiving Files with Errors"
How could I get that?
Regards

Hi Cristian,
Here we have to see two things :
1. For one sender communication channel you can have only one Archive directory and
     as a standard it has to be hard coded while channel configuration.doing it dynamically is not possible i guess.
     if you don't have too many archive directories using multiple channels would be an option.
2. How you will identify the file with errors ? If you have some conditioning to check for a invalid
   file then i think you can configure a service with a conditions to route all the invalid files through one channel
   in receiver determination(default receiver).
    Or if you can tell if the file is good or bad , only when the target system receives and validates
    it then i think a BPM can be configured to receive the ack flag and send the file to Directory for
   Archiving Files with Errors.
Regards,
Srinivas

IChat can send messages but doesn't receive them(5.0.1)

Hello there. My iChat 5.0.1 doesn't allow me to receive messages from anyone but allows me to send to them. I've tried re-starts of the application and computer but to no avail. This problem just showed up recently and I had no problems after updating to 10.6.2.
Any help would be totally appreciated.
Thank you.
KC

Hi,
Have you changed you router or modem recently ?
iChat Loins by Default on port 5190 using the TCP Protocol
It also uses port 5190 on the UDP protocol for File Sending and Pics in Chats and some Group chats.
Some modems and router do not like this dual se of the port and it pays to log the Screen Name out and go to iChat > Preferences > Accounts > Server settings and change the port to 443
Also check in iChat Preferences > Alerts
Change the top drop down to Receive IMs and then check the Apple Script Option is not active and using Auto-Decline.

IChat File Transfers fail on 10.7.x Server

I started this Post over in the iChat FORUM, and it was suggested I post here too: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3840760
I have an OS X Server 10.6 setup with iChat and it works perfectly.
This Mac is connected directly to the WWW, no firewall.
I have an OS X Server 10.7 setup with iChat and it works perfectly EXCEPT for File Transfers
This Mac is connected directly to the WWW, with a Netgear FVS336Gv2.
I have opened all the correct ports for TCP & UDP and mapped them to my OSX Server 10.7 at 192.168.2.100
I am totally stumped now, why should JUST file transfers do not work?
This iChat OSX Server 10.7 is setup for people on the same server, using the same domain.
File Transfer in iChat WORKS on the internal network OK :-)
File Transfer in iChat DOESN'T WORK on external network :-(
Here is a screenshot of my routers portforwarding...
http://www.jrpmedia.co.uk/shared/Remote%20Desktop%20Picture.jpg

If you are having intermittent or sporadic file transfer problems.. or experiencing only one way file transfers on a local lan:
Pick One:
5222 TCP Client authenticates and sends txt messages to the Server on this port.(Apparently TLS if avaialble)
5223 TCP Client authenticates and sends txt messages to the Server on this port.(Legacy Forced SSL)
Enable these:
16402 UDP ClientA communicates with ClientB directly on this port for video chat. (Apparently SIP)
7777 TCP - Screwy file transfer proxy port.
From what I can tell about file transfers:
File transfer proxy.
ClientA tells Server to tell ClientB that there is a file waiting to be picked up at ClientA on a "randomly" assigned ClientA port.
ClientB fails to directly connnect to ClientB on this "randomly" chosen port.
ClientA fails then reverts to proxy mode. KEY STEP
ClientA sends the file to the Server on this 7777 tcp port.
Server proxies the file to the ClientB.
Warning: Having too many directly connectable ports between ClientA and ClientB can cause confusing communcation failures for file transfers between iChat/Messages clients. If one of the clients is able to establish partial communication, it will not properly fail then revert to proxy mode.
We don't want to open a crap load of ports for file transfer and therefore prefer to have it transfer files via the server proxy port
Communication flow required to get this to go:
from clientA to server 5222-5223 (pick one), 7777 for auth and file transfer
from clientB to server 5222-5223 (pick one), 7777 for auth and file transfer
from client to client 16402 for video
The above solved our screwy partially working file transfers... hopefully this helps someone.

Get filename from file sender adapter

Hi Experts,
I have a question regarding the file/ftp adapter (sender).
I have a directory with xml and pdf files. for every xml file there is a pdf file with the same filename. for example:
file1.xml
file1.pdf
file2.xml
file2.pdf
file3.xml
file3.pdf
Now I want to read the xml file with the file sender adapter. afterwards I want to read the related pdf file. for example: If I read the file file1.xml afterwards I want to read the pdf file file1.pdf with the file sender adapter. For this it is nessessary to get the filename from the xml file so that I can read afterwards the pdf file. How can I realise it?
Thanks and best regards
Christopher

Hi srinivas,
thanks for your quick answer.
That the file adapter is not able to read pdf files is clear to me. In this case I only want to transport the pdf. that works fine. I tested it.
the problem is the following:
I have a xml file with the name "file1.xml". I read the xml file with the sender file/ftp adapter configured with filename "*.xml". Then I want to import the pdf file with the name "file1.pdf". Therefor I need the filename from the xml file.do you know what I mean? So XI has to know the filename of the xml to import the pdf with the same name ...
regards

File sender adapter:FILE to IDOC without BPM, can't see in SXMB_MONI.

Hi all
I have a FILE - XI - IDOC Async scenario without BPM.
I configured FILE sender adapter and IDOC receiver adapter. I made a mapping to transfer file data to the structure of IDOC.
Now when i am trying to load the file using command prompt, i cud see nothing in the monitoring. Whereas if i go to the communication channel monitoring of runtime workbench, i saw that CC is polling correctly and was reading the file also.
And also wen i saw in the processed folder which i mentioned in the CC configuration for the ARCHIVE DIRECTORY, i saw that file got transferred to the folder also.
I don't understand why i cant see anything in the monitoring.
Could anybody help me to rectify the problem. Is there anything i m missing ?
Regards
Naina

http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/XI/FiletoMultipleIDOCSplittingwithoutBPM
But instead of IDOC splitting i have simple FILE - XI -IDOC scenario.
I have configured everything exaclty the same way it is mentioned here. But for me the process is not visible at all.
I can't even see the first request message in the monitoring.
This is the message i can see in the communication channel monitoring:
2010-05-24 09:07:41 Success Channel CC_*: Entire file content converted to XML format
2010-05-24 09:07:41 Warning Channel CC_*: Empty document found. Proceed without sending message
2010-05-24 09:07:41 Success File "/xyz/ABC.txt" archived after processing
Is there any problem with the file and that could be the reason it cant convert the file to the request message MT_REQUEST and thus am not able to see anything in monitoring.
help me guys....this is a simple process and i m stuck...its frustrating
