Is ANSI ENCODING possible using file/j2see adapter

Hi all,
I am doing a file to file bypass scenario .My client has demanded that the output file should be in ANSI format.I checked the file.encoding option in sap-help but ANSI is not available can u suggest that what encoding type i must use.
I am thinking of using ISO-8859-1.

In my SOA Composite, Can I use file/FTP adapter to get the EDI X12 850

Our requirement is to build a SOA Composite to dump all the details in a EDI X12 850 ( Purchase order ) document in to a database table. In my SOA Composite, Can I use file/FTP adapter to get the EDI X12 850 element details to map them to a base base columns.

Drop the File Adapter to the left lane of the composite i.e., Services lane...
Go to Step 2, give a meaningful name....
Step 3, select "define from operation and schema"
Step 4, select the operation type as "read"
Step 5, select physical path and give the folder path in the "Directory for incoming files" field.,
Step 6, select wildcards and give the expression depending on the file name it would be at run time...
Step 7, select the polling frequency as required....
Step 8, in the URL field, adjacent to that , select "browse for schema file" and select the XSD which you have exported from B2B Editor.
say next and finish, you will be good to go.
Hope this helps,
Thanks,

Using file receiver adapter with a different user

Hello.
I have a simple question (at least I think it is)
Can I use a file receiver adapter (where the transport protocol is NFS - not FTP)
so that a different user will access the directory (not the usual SAPServiceSID)?
I don't see any place for using username and password, and using the FTP protocol is not possible
because of security reasons.
Any help Appreciated.

Hello.
Thanks for the quick answers.
I'm sorry for not being clear enough before.
I have a microsoft network share on a different server then the PI.
When I use the path:
server\share
I manage to successfully put a file via the file receiver adapter, with NFS as the transport protocol.
However in order to do this, the owner of the share had to give credentials to the user: SAPServiceSID of my PI system
which is an active directory user.
The owner wants me to use a local user instead.
Can this be done with a local user?

Process TIFF file from FTP server using File/FTP adapter

Hi,
I have a requirement to process a scanned document TIFF file from a directory on an FTP server using the File/FTP adapter and process through XI into a Web Service via a receiver SOAP adapter.
My question is can the file/FTP adapter be used to process the TIFF file into XI from an FTP server ? Also, what settings need to be made on the file adapter to allow this file to be processed into XI ?
Thanks in advance
Colin

hi colin,
TIFF is type of image file, it can be converted to binary using java mapping
refer this pdf

Cant do a file get from external server using file sender adapter with ftp

Hi all,
Up until now our company has only used the file sender adapter with ftp protocol to get a file from our XI server for processing and input the file into an integration process
I have a requirement to do an ftp file get from an external server
From our XI development server I can ftp directly to the external server and view the required directory using the command window via a DOS prompt (FTP open ...). So all firewall issues and communications are fine
Unfortunately I cannot currently pull files from the external server using the XI file adapter with ftp protocol from the XI development server AWB017
FTP Connection Parameters: External server name using port 21, Data Connection is Passive, No security, I supply a userid and password
Processing Parameters: Processing Mode is Archive (I tried test but this did not work either)
No messages appear in the RWB
Is there something else that I need to set up in order for the external ftp get to work via the XI file adapter?
Regards,
Mike

Thanks for your responses.
I have found the error messages in the File Adapter Monitor
Scenario 1
When I prefix the source directory with a forward slash, eg /Folder/Subfolder the error message is as follows
EST: Error: Error connecting to ftp server 'ip address': FTPEx: /Folder/Subfolder: The system cannot find the path specified
Scenario 2
When I DO NOT prefix the source directory with a forward slash, eg Folder/Subfolder a different error message is returned
Error: Retrieving file 'FILENAME.XML' failed unexpectedly: FTPEx: Folder/Subfolder: The system cannot find the path specified
At least in this scenario the adapter has been able to identify the file on the external FTP site but cannot retrieve it
Questions
I thought that the backslash prefix for the source directory was mandatory but I am receiving an error in each scenario
I receive the same error message whether the Processing Mode is 'Archive' or 'Test'
The logs on the external ftp server seem to indicate that I am simply connecting, sending username and password then quiting straight away. I am not issuing any commands that they can see
I thought that being a Sender adapter it would inherently execute a Pull or Get command
To recap, from our XI development server I can ftp directly to the external server and view the required directory using the command window via a DOS prompt (FTP open ...). So all firewall issues, communications, userid and password are fine
Has anyone experienced these issues?
Please advise on next course of action?

How to read xlsx files using file sender adapter in PI7.11

Hi All,
i have scenario where i need to read the xlsx file and convert it into idoc.
i have gone through the few bolgs
but not got proper result to read the xlsx file.
please guide me how can i achieve this scenario using standard way(like standard adapter modules,graphical mapping).
i saw in some blogs using API....
but i am not aware of the process of develop custom modules in PI.
please if there is any step by step process document to develop custom module for adapters.
thanks in advance.
mahesh

HI Hareesh,
i have gone through that blog.
i tried it...but i am getting mapping error no receiver determination fond because there are so many excel files.
my data is available on sharedString.xml but also it is in not same order.
i have no clue how to handle this part form the blog.
"This way our mapping will receive all data from the sheet in an XML format. The only thing that's left is to create an XSD file from the XML file we received in order to be able to use it in the mapping and as our Service Interface and we can proceed with mapping. As you can see from the sheet.xml files all the data is placed with column name and row number so it's not that difficult to map it to an table type format using the Message Mapping only (no java, abap mapping required)."

Two Files merging using File adapter in Bpel 2.0

Hi All,
I have two different files (File 1 and 2) of same format(Two columns each) , now i want to merge these two files using their data and form a consolidated file (File 3 with four columns).
Please advise on how to make it possible using file adapter.
Example:
File 1 Format: A1 and A2 - are two columns of number and sring type
File 2 Format : B1 and B2 - are two columns of number and string type
Consolidated File 3 Format : A1 B1 A2 B2 - forming a single row if A1=B1 and also populating A2 and B2.
Thanks
Karthick.

Hi Karthick,
I would say read both files completely. Then create a transform and select both messages as an input creating one output. With XSLT it should not be too hard to combine the two inputs. You could loop on one file and then select each row from the other file. That output can be written to file.
I don't know what triggers the process, but you could either let bpel be triggered by the polling on one file and read the other synchronously. Or read both files synchronously.

Creating PDF files using file adapter

Hi,
Is it possible to create a pdf file using, File/FTP adapter? If yes can someone please suggest how to do it.
Thanks,
Phani

Hi Phani,
I would say pdf files are binary files with a specialized format.
You can move pdf files through BPEL or ESB (i.e. file/ftp -> file/ftp), or from file to database BLOB and database to file, by importing the schema as opaque.
However I doubt that file adapter can create PDF files from a plain-text xml file, i.e. as PDFCreator would.
In a sense a pdf file is much like a jpg, mp3, or zip file, it can be passed through bpel but not created.
In other words if you have a base64Binary element in xml, that you know is the complete bytes to a pdf, jpg, or other file, you can write it out as a file using the File adapter.
Thanks
Steve

List files using file adapter in 10G

Hi',
How can we list the files using File/FTP adapter in SOA 10G.
My requirement is to get details like name of file and the timestamp.
Please advice.
Thanks

Yatan,
I used in the past a javaEmbedded activity which uses a shell script to list and get all the needed data from a directory.
(I found it the easiest and faster way to do it)

Scheduling File Sender Adapter

Hai expertise,
 We need to send image files from different local PC's (whose IP address is dynamic) to Document Storage System through XI.
1) we have to use HTTP sender (Java program which pick current IP address of system and file names from folder to XI in XML format).
2) XI has to pick the files and depends on response from BAPI files has to be moved to other folders in local machine (from where XI has picked the files)
 Is there any way to pick the payload value to one feild of File sender adapter?
 will it work through Adapter Specific Message Attributes?
 But ASMA is for dynamic folders and dynamic filenames we need to set dynamic FTP IP address to FTP Server name of File Sender adapter.
 Is this functionality be achieved without adapter module creation?
 One more approach we though is that "XI will get XML data of IP address where file resides and file names in the form of XML, which we are polled by server proxy and using that IP address in proxy can we use do FTP copy and moving files from one folder to other depends on BAPI response". Will this work as the BAPI as to execute in backgroung to get files from local windows based machine to sever for FTP copy????
File sender adapter has to be triggered, when HTTP sender sends the data to XI, Is this possible???
Can we use File Sender adapter, when HTTP sender sends the data to XI in the same interface?
Picking files from static folders, filenames but dynamic FTP Servers, is this possible through standard File Sender Adapter?
Please advice.. its urgent...

J2SE adapter engine and SSL testing

Hi there,
We are currently doing a B2B scenario whereby SAP XI sends a message to the J2SE adapter engine in the DMZ and then that sends the message via HTTPS / SSL to the receiving service....
In order to test that the HTTPS / certificate etc worked I wrote a small Java application and dialled out of the network. I inserted the DER file into my CACERTS file on my local machine using the keytool as a "trusted certificate". The Java application worked 100% and did the SSL handshake fine and POSTED the data fine as well......
Now I am no expert in the J2SE adapter engine but decided to try testing the same SSL connection using the J2SE adapter engine from my LOCAL machine with me dialled out onto the Internet.
I logged into the J2SE adapter engine and imported the same DER file into the engine (actually inserted into the "truststore.jks" file). I them went into the "Test Environment" of the J2SE adapter and have been trying to test.....
I have a few questions:
1. Do I have to use a P12 or PFX file for this sort of communication? Reason I ask is that with the Java application all I needed was the DER file?
2. In the full blown scenario do I have to have SSL configured between XI and the J2SE adapter engine as well? Or can that stay as HTTP?
My basic config for the test is roughly:
WS.targetURL=https://someserver:4433/soap/someInbox
WS.SOAPAction=CustomSoapAction
SSLauthentication=true
Do I really need the following two?
SSLcertificate=somecert.p12
SSLcertificatePassword=somepassword
From my logic all I should need if the DER file loaded into the J2SE adapter which I have done......
Has anyone done successfull SSL / HTTPS testing from the J2SE adapter engine using the "Test Environment"?
Any advise would be greatly appreciated
Kind regards
Lynton

Hi
Not a answer to your question but why use the J2SE adapter engine in the DMZ and why not the J2EE Decentral Adapter Engine?

Input file size limition in File Reader Adapter

Hi,
We have a File Read Activity(using File Reader Adapter) which works on a Polling model. Whenever a input file is found in a designated directory it invokes our BPEL web service. During load testing we found out that if input file size exceeds 7 MB then we get "insufficient heap space" error. We found a reference to this size limitation in http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11036_01/integrate.1013/b28994.pdf which has below lines..
"Files that are 7MB or larger in size cannot be delivered. As an alternative, you can debatch large files (if they have multiple messages), and publish these files in messages of size less than 7 MB. This alternative is applicable only to structured files (comma-delimited or fixed position), which contain more than one message. It is not applicable to binary or XML files."
Our customer will have the data in XML format and the size of the files will be pretty huge(running into 49, 69 MBs). Do we have any workaround here or we are left with no option but to ask the customer to split the files and load it? The later option is currently difficult one for the customer since when split there is a possibility of XML becoming invalid. Any pointers in this issue is appreciated.
Thanks!
Balaji

Hi,
BPEL can not process more than 7 MB size xml structred file. but,debatching will work for xml files also provided if the file has repeated multiple structures (means multiple repeated root elements).
