Incorrect files picked by the channel

Hi
We have two interfaces INT1 & INT2.
We placed 100 files for INT2. Where 99 were processed by INT2 file comm Channel where as 1 file is picked by INT1.
The naming convention is fine. The file shouldn't be picked by INT1 but it got picked up.
We tried testing in DEV environment the same set of 100 files are processed by INT2 only. Only in Preprod environment where we are picking files from Vendor's FTP we are getting the above issue.
The naming was perfectly fine in both environments. We expect some thing is wrong with the FTP server of vendor.We did a complete cache refresh, Increased the polling interval of the channel but still no use.
Did any one faced this scenario before? Any suggestions please

Hi Prabhas,
The files to be picked up by FTP/File Sender channel normally depends on the following two settings:
1. Folder name
2. File name (with reg expressions eg. input*.xml picks all files beginning with "input" and of type .xml).
To my knowledge there have been no issues where File Adapter channel has started picking up random files (This behavior is never expected)
So, my suggestion would be to properly check the configuration settings of the Sender channels for both INT1 & INT2. You will surely get some clue there.
Hope this helps.

  • Makepkg and incorrect file extension of the source archive

    Hi,
    I want to create a PKGBUILD for a program distributed as a .tar.gz source archive, except that it's really a .tar archive.
    Thus, makepkg fails because it uses the wrong tar option.
    Now I'm wondering what the best way is to deal with this situation. I just tried placing a "mv foo.tar.gz foo.tar" line before the build() function, but that didn't get executed. Inside build() would be too late, because makepkg runs it after extracting.
    I'm not looking for a solution on how to install it -- I can just manually download and rename the file, then edit the PKGBUILD accordingly. But the PKGBUILD resp. makepkg should cope with that, not the user by manually downloading/renaming things. So I'm looking for a way how to do that from inside that file.
    Guess I should do a feature request: makepkg should detect the archive file correctly (e.g. using "file"), not just by looking at the extension which could be wrong.

    Best solution in the long term is, of course, to ask the developers to correct their mistake.
    In the meantime, although it's not ideal, there is no problem with running tar xf inside the build() function.
    the problem is, he can't. Makepkg barfs when it cant untarball it.
    In the meantime, download the source, and untar it in the build() function.
    Also file a bug, maybe makepkg should use some 'file' (man file) magic to determine what it is.

  • My proxy service (messaging) with sftp protocol is not picking up the file

    Hi ,
    I have proxy service , which polls for a file in a regular interval , this has stopped working suddenly . The bad part is i am not able to find any log related to the service in either the domain logs or the server logs.
    I tried to disable the service and re-enable it , but it was of no use .
    Please help me in this , what can i look for next ?

    Bala,
    I just extracted the entire B2B setup as a ZIP file and imported the setup in a DEV UT01 enironment. The B2B was able to successfully pick up the B2B messages using the same ftp channel.If from one env B2B is able to pick the message using same settings then it must be a network issue. You may like to change the B2B log level to debug and then try to disable and enable the channel. See if you get anything in the log.
    You may also try to create an outbound agreement and see if you are able to send message to that FTP location from the same environment.

  • Production issue - Sender File adapter not picking up the files from folder

    Hi Guys,
    Ever since the upgrade from XI 3.0 to PI 7.1, we have come acrossinstances of weird error.
    Thsi time again - now the 3rd time - tandom basis, in our production PI server, we have teh file slying in the source directory folder in the server.
    I can see the files lying there in AL11.
    However, it looks like that the file polling has just stopped and the channel is going blank in channel monitoring.
    I have checked in SXMB_MONI and there are no messages since the morning.
    I have tried craeting a replica of the current channel but it is not working.
    This is teh production server and thsi has alraedy created production issues.
    I ahve checked in the SDN forum but am not able to find the details.
    Plaese help me.
    I am anyway going to raise the issue with SAP now.

    Hi Prateek,
    I have trying all sorts since the morning and then just checked teh file permissions.
    The file permissions were incorrect as compared ot the other files that were processed successfully today.
    Somehow the permissions were changed on the server and the interface channel was not able to poll the files.
    I got teh permissions changed back to 666 and all the files were pikced up in a minute.
    I got the folder checked and it seems like that the permissions were changed somewhere very early in the morning and we are trying to find out how it happened and who did that.
    However, another question i had - this sender file adapter was polling the source directory and deleting the files from there.
    I would have expected that if the channel had issues with the file permission because of which it was not able to access the file, it would have thrown an error something like the file permissions error.
    But there was not a single error in the channel monitoring.
    How can we configure it in a beter way so that we at least soem kind of error indication?
    Please advice.

  • Sender File Adapter not picking up the file

    Hello Experts,
    I have configured a sender file (FTP) adapter. All the configurations are right. The name of the file is given exactly as it is. The processing mode is Delete.
    The scenario was running fine till today. I only made changes to the path from which it has to pick the file. I have checked the path numerously and it is correct.
    But the file is not being picked up.
    Monitoring the communication channel shows no errors. It has the green indicator. No idea what is happening.
    Please Help,
    Regards,
    Merrilly

    Hi
    try to make some changes anf then again save and cativte the adapter. may be the adapter is not being activated.
    also check whether the cache is refreshed or not.
    or u can also check in the communication channel monitoring the channel is start or stop. if stop then start the channel and then try again.
    if u still face the problem please reply me back.
    Thanks

  • File is not picking from the source location.

    Hi all,
    File is not picking from the source location. FTP is working properly and file is also placed in source location. I am new the XI, if anybody can give me the solution it would be really helpfull.
    Thanks to all.
    Korean

    Hi Majin,
      Check the folder path properly, check the file name( file name is case sensitive) you have given correct or not. See that your communication channel is active. Also check the cache status and check adapter status also by that you will come to know wht is the problem.
    Thanks,

  • 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

  • Picking files based on the requested URL

    Hi Experts
    I have a requirement where I need to pick image files from SAP DMS server based on the URL requested.
    The scenario :
    Third-party sends a URL  corresponding to a particular image in DMS as request and PI needs to Pick the image
    file and send it as response.
    Due we need BPM? How to set up sender file adapter source directory as  the file name/directory   to be picked is dynamic in nature and there is no specifc pattern .We need to pick the exact file base on the Unique URL.
    Can we do this requirement in a synchronous interface by using HTTP or SOAP attachments for image? What about
    the performance impact as we have img files here.

    Third-party sends a URL corresponding to a particular image in DMS as request and PI needs to Pick the image
    file and send it as response.
    BPM would be required....We had a similar requirement wherein a URL was given at runtime to PI....then PI had to call the location and get back the details and we used SOAP for this (SYNC Call to the URL using SOAP channel from the BPM).
    Can we do this requirement in a synchronous interface by using HTTP or SOAP attachments for image?
    Not sure how the attachment will function inside a BPM....in my case I got the details as part of the message...even it was an image but it was stored as a base64 encoded message.

  • JDBC sender channel running but not picking up the data from sp

    Hi,
    One of the jdbc sender channels in production is running at its schedule time but it is not picking up the data from the sql side, we have checked with the sp side and they are saying that sp is running fine. No changes have been done in its configuration. Last message coming in RWB  is Retry interval started but that is of 1 day and its already been 3 days. I tried by starting and stopping the channel but of no use. The channel was re activated but that also didn't help.
    Please help, what can be the reason for the same.
    thanks.

    Hi,
    The JDBCadapter ( The respective channel) is definitely locked in PI . Ideally for each polling interval a lock is being created and once the processing is over , the lock should be released/deleted automatically to allow further polling interval. If the lock is not released by the system automatically,further polling will not happen as expected. ( This may affect all sender JDBC adapters as well. I would recommend to do a check in all sender JDBC communication channels)
    You can see/delete the locks in Visual admin.
    Go to Server>Services->Locking adapter and click refresh
    The entries for JDBC adapter ( with name $XIDBAD.JDBC2XI) should be deleted by selecting those particilar entries and click delete selected locks.
    If you have more than one node, then same should be done in all server nodes.
    The temprory solution would be creating/copy the existing channel in ID with same properties and assign it into particular sender agreement.
    But, the lock may be created again which potentailly stops all your database interfaces. Hence i would suggest to use Disconnect From Database After processing of Each messages in Advanced tab in the sender JDBC adapter.
    Hope this solves your issue.
    PS: The same bahaviour would expected for all file adapter as well

  • How to pick the sender files dynamically using the same File CC

    hi,
    My requirements is like , Same Sender File communication Channel has to pick up the different file which are having differnt file conventions and which are placed in different directories .. then it has to send to diffentn directories in the receiver side..
    how to do this?
    Regards,

    Hi Stefen,
    They have tried the Generic Sender File adapter concept to handle filenames with different names and from different directories instead creating many file channels. In my project many channels are configured as generic File sender channel.. And Eventhough the Generic file sender channels processing the filenames from different directories, all processed files are archieved in one common directories.. now they wanna generic solution to archieve the processed files in a particular folder based upon the directories they got processed from....
    and There are no such message mapping or Operation mapping since they used AAE concept. So do you  have any idea to make Generic File sender channels to archieve the files as per requirements i said before??
    Two doubts can we use like Module programming or can we do any OS level command acchieve this ? if yes please explain in detail .... Please help me out here
    please refer the following link .. exact way we used in our project

  • Files not getting picked from the FTP site

    Dear All,
    We are having one File-XI-RFC scenario running in XI-PRD Server. Sometimes what happens is that files available in the FTP site are not getting picked by the File adapter. I have checked in the adapter monitoring and communication channel is active there. Also, there are no errors regarding this in SXMB_MONI. I have configured alerts also but for this case no alerts are getting trigerred. And also when I am reactivating that particular communication channel then that file is getting picked instantaneously.
    Can anybody please guide me on what might be the real cause for this as this error is happening randomly.
    regards,
    N.Jain.

    HI,
    Have you used per File transfer parameter in FTP Communication channel.
    It makes the FTP adapter inactive in ideal time.
    So add the poll interval may be for every 30 mins or something like it. It will forcefully activate the FTP port after every 30 mins. You may have the poll interval for every 1 min. Only the files to be picked up are getting logged in in XI monitoring.
    So there will be no garbage collection of unwanted messages in Monitoring.
    Thanks

  • Why is iTunes Podcast Artist Column Incorrectly Showing the Channel Title?

    I've noticed that recently for iTunes Podcasts that I create, when viewing the podcast in iTunes, the Artist column (for each podcast media record) is not showing the correct <itunes:author> field for that item. Instead it is showing the <title> field for the whole category. I thought my XML may have been incorrect, but it never used to be a problem for and it still looks correct. Further more, I noticed that other podcasts on itunes had this same problem (all). Why isn't it showing the "author" in the artist column anymore? Is this a glitch in the new version of itunes?

    No, I think it's actually using the "channel <title>" node, not the owner <itunes:name> field you mentioned. Mine are different, and it's picking up that field for sure.
    The iTunes Specs:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/whatson/podcasts/specs.html
    require this tag for the channel:
    <title>
    This is the top level title of the whole podcast, and it should not be used for the "author" of the individual podcast "items". See the image on that page which describes which fields are displayed where:
    http://images.apple.com/itunes/whatson/podcasts/images/itunespodcast_overlay2007 1029.jpg
    It explicitly says that "item <itunes:author>" should show up in the column. Whereas "channel <title>" is used for the top channel title ONLY. They are not following their own specs. And if you aren't including that "channel <title>" field, then you aren't following the specs either I'm glad it works, but I'm not quite ready to abandon the specs, because they are going to find the glitch in iTunes and fix it soon.
    I would like them to fix what is very obviously a problem in a recent release of iTunes. Maybe if we all report the problem, they'll pay attention:
    http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/store/browser/
    Just pick the "best" category and write a report to them.

  • Unable to pick up the file from Receive Location

    BizTalk is  unable to pick up the files from receive location.
    My admin console is working so slow.
    It is showing the problem of snap-in as follows:
    I have checked all my receive location and its masking,it is working fine.
    Actually it is working fine in dev server(snap-in problem is not occuring in dev server ) but when I import MSI and binding in UAT server.
    It is not picking up the file from receive location.
    I want to know one more thing :if my message box database is not working fine,will it receive the files from receive location.
    Prakash

    For files not received by receive location. If the Receive Location is still enabled but files are not processed by Receive Location, then check whether the host instance  configured with your receive location is running. If the host instance is in
    running state, restart the host instance and try.
    Regarding the error in the admin console as shown in the image, people started to see this issue with admin console from BizTalk 2009 onwards. This happens in cases like you have done some activity with console and before its been refreshed it you do more
    activities like expanding the node you will see this error. Sometimes WMI is bit slowly to refresh your admin console screen. Just wait for few seconds untill the WMI screen is rendered completely. Ensure you have all the cumulative updates installed for your
    version of BizTalk and also ensure the service pack for your OS is updated.
    Obviously if message box is not working, files will not be received/processed. But if message box is not in healthy state this would affect all other application not just one and in-fact it would affect entire BizTalk not just Receive Locations.
    To start analysing this file not been processed by Receive Location, start with checking the host instance as mentioned.

  • Adobe 8 - Unexpected Corrupt or incorrect file type warning when viewing a PDF file from the Web

    Hi,
    On downloading a PDF file from my web site using Adobe 8 on the client machine I expect the file to open automatically however I receive encounter the "File Download" dialog. It has the following warning message: "The file you are downloading cannot be opened by the default program. It is either corrupted or it has an incorrect file type. As a security precaution, it is recommended that you cancel the download."
    This issue did not occur within previously tested versions of Adobe Reader (e.g. Version 5.1).
    On investigating the issue I discovered the factor that results in Adobe 8 failing to open the file automatically is the Content-Type = "application/pdf; Charset=utf-8". However, if I intercept the response and alter the Content-Type to contain only "application/pdf;" the issue on Adobe 8 does not occur.
    I have even tested when the Content-Type contains an empty Charset (i.e. "application/pdf; Charset=") but this issue still occurs. In addition setting the Charset to other encodings (e.g. "ISO-LATIN-7", "iso-8859-1") the issue occurs.
    QUESTION(s):
    1. Why is it necessary for Adobe 8 when opening PDF files from the web to expect no Charset within the Content-Type?
    2. If this was not an issue within previous versions of Adobe surly this is a bug?
    Since I cannot ensure that the Response's Content-Type does not contain a Charset at all please can someone suggest either a work-around or more importantly a solution to the issue?
    Please Note:-
    1. Within Adobe, Edit -> Preferences -> Internet option it's compulsory for our users to have "Display PDF in browser" ticked!
    2. We cannot prevent a Charset from being present within the Content-Type of the response sent to the client, hence this issue.
    Many Thanks in advance,
    Martin.

    Bill,
    This is exactly the same behavior I observed when I rendered a PDF stored in a database through a .NET page. If I chose to save it, it would open fine after the save, but if I chose to open it in the browser without saving it, I would get the error.
    The problem was not with the PDF or Acrobat. It was with the way I was delivering the PDF. Putting the following code before my binarywrite fixed the issue completely:
    Response.ClearHeaders()
    Response.ClearContent()
    Response.ContentType = "application/octet-stream"
    Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment; filename=" + saveFilename)
    where saveFileName is the name you want to give the PDF.
    You can use 'inline' instead of 'attachment' above if you just want the PDF to open (no option to save first). You can also use 'pdf' instead of 'octet-stream' (not sure the difference).
    The trouble seems to be that .NET puts some info in the header and/or content by default prior to anything your code says to write. If you don't clear this, IE has an issue with it. Other browsers seem to ignore it.
    Bottomline is that this is an issue the website programmer needs to fix and is not something the user can fix by changing some setting(s).
    I hope this helps.
