Message Processing at receiver FTP adapter

Hello,
I am using FTP at the receiver side and trying to connect to that receiver using File/FTP Receiver adapter.
Now i have config all the details of the FTP server in the channel. Now i want to know how it connects to the FTP server and keeps the files inside the file directory which ever is mentioned in the config.
Is there any involvement of DNS server here to connects to FTP server through our File Receiver adapter.
Thanks,
Soorya

Hello Peter,
This is my scenario basically,
Now i want to configure two FTP servers which has same host name. THat common host name, i have configured in the FTP receiver channel. I manually change the IP addresses inside the DNS server so that if it is IP1 then my receiver channel has to connect to one FTP server. If i change it to IP2 from IP1 inside the DNS server then i have to connect to the other FTP server.
How can i do this scenario?
Can you please help me in doing so?
DNS : Domain Name Srever (correct)
What shall we do if we want to use DNS for connecting to the FTP servers?
Is it inside the FTP receiver communication channel ?
or
Is it at DNS server configuration?
As you have mentioned that it is box.What do you mean by this BOX?
Is this issue purely related to network and DNS issue or we have to configure something differently in our receiver channel configuration.
As you said here,
" Try to ping the server name from the XI box. If it can resolve the server name, everything is ok and you can use it in the CC config. If it can't, ask you network team to solve it (add a record to DNS, change the hosts file on the PI box eventually). "
Can you please explain it clearly?
Thanks ,
Soorya.

Receiver FTP Adapter Problem

Hello. My scenario is: A file is sent from R/3 via RFC, then from XI to an outside system using the FTP adapter. The RFC part is working, but I've encountered some errors with my FTP adapter. The file is not being created in my directory at all and this is the error message I'm getting:
- 2006-10-11 08:28:20 CDT: Error: Message processing failed: Exception: ftp access error: com.sap.aii.adapter.file.ftp.FTPEx: 552 transfer failed
Can anyone help, please?
Thank you.
Nicole

Hi Nicole,
A few things you might check are:
1) The Ip address given is correct.
2) The login details given in File receiver adpater are right
3) The server is running when you make the transfer, that is 'Allow logins' status is checked in case of guild FTP server or similar servers.
4) The destination directory is given as "/root" with "/" slash.
5) All the firewalls are turned off.
6) File processing mode is 'Create'.
Cheers,

Retaining the FileName in the Receiver FTP adapter

Hi experts,
I have a situation here, were i need to retain the FileName in the message header in the receiver FTP adapter.
I have tried using variable subtitution but seems the FileName is not supported in variable substitution.
Please help
Thanks

Hello,
if you need file name to be retained in the receiver adapter from the sender side. then u can do that by dynamic configuration using adapter specific message attributes, check this blog for details-
/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/11/10/xi-the-same-filename-from-a-sender-to-a-receiver-file-adapter--sp14
if you dont have a mapping in your interface to use dynamic configuration, then you can do it via adapter module also- have a look here, /people/sap.user72/blog/2005/07/15/copy-a-file-with-same-filename-using-xi

Dynamically generate terget directory in receiver FTP adapter

Hi guys,
I'm trying to set up a scenario where the file will be placed into a terget directiry based on values from the incoming message. I can't use variable substitution as my target message does not contain the needed value, so I'm trying to set up a dynamic configuration in an UDF. Unfortunately, this is not working.. Any ideas, what could be wrong? The receiver FTP adapter always just takes values from it's configuration. It doesn't help when I try to change it in mapping.
This is the java map code in the UDF:
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container.getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File", "Directory");
DynamicConfigurationKey key2 = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File", "FileName");
conf.put(key, a);
conf.put(key2, "tfilename.txt");
return "";
Thanks a lot for any help,
Olian

Hi,
use below code it will work fine
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container
.getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File", "FileName");
DynamicConfigurationKey key1 = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File", "Directory");
String a=conf.get(key);
String b=conf.get(key1);
var1 = a+b; ;
return var1;
map this udf to root element of your receiver structure.

Receiver FTP Adapter File Size Splitting

Hi,
I am receiving an IDoc from R/3 into XI.
I then map this IDoc into an xml file and use a receiver ftp adapter to drop the files onto a ftp server.
Is there anyway, that I can use the adapter to split the message interface into smaller files. For example, if I were to ftp the message interface into 1 file, the file size would be 1MB. I would like to split the 1 message interface into 4 x 250kb files without having to split the message interface?
Thanks,
Miguel

Hi,
If you split into 4 files each one should be a XML file right?
This is possible without BPM.
Go thro the blog:
/people/jin.shin/blog/2006/02/07/multi-mapping-without-bpm--yes-it146s-possible
Wat u need to do is make the target side 0..unbounded. If u have 100 records, Map some 25 records in first occurence, 25 in second and so on. This way u can reduce file size.

P.Venkat

Prerequisites for Sender and Receiver FTP adapter

Hi Experts,
I am new to PI and configuring simple file to file scenario. I need to know the prerequsites for sender and receiver FTP adapter. Scenario is System A -> XI -> System B .
What I want to know is:
1> What ports need to be opened?
2> Any service that I need to activate?
3> Do I need to install FTP server in any of the machine?
If I have missed something, please add.
Br,
Nilz

Hi,
1> What ports need to be opened?
mentioned in below link as said its 21.
2> Any service that I need to activate?
No
3> Do I need to install FTP server in any of the machine?
THere are two ways by which u can pick ur file.
1) NFS by which u can put the file on XI appplication directory and pick up ur file.
2) FTP u have to put ur file on FYP server and XI will pick up the file from there. U can use freeware FTP and install it on ur Desktop search on goolge u will get ti FTP installtion.
refer the below configuration requirement for FIle adapter.

When to use "Use Temporary File" in receiver FTP adapter

Hi Experts,
I have nerver used "Use Temprary File" as the "Write Mode" in receiver ftp adapter.
I want to knwo under what kind of requirment we should use this option?
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards,

Hi Aditya
Usually it's advisable to use "use temporary file" as write mode when you want to avoid your file to be picked up by receiver while PI channel is still writing it.
Obviously larger the file, more chances you have that this issue could occur.
If you select the "use temporary file", XI will write the content to a temporary file with another name of your choice and only once writing has finished it will rename it to the actual name setup in the "file name scheme".

Giuseppe

Receiver FTP Adapter - Directory create

Hello,
the XI FTP Receiver Adapter by default creates the target directory on the FTP Server if it does not exist. The J2SE Engine had an option if you want to create the directory or not.
Is that available in the XI 3.0 J2EE FTP Adapter? I could not find it. Further if that can be set, would the adatper throw an error?
Thanks
Stefan

Hi Stefan,
I'm facing the same issue, while trying to create a dynamic folder in the FTP server.
The FTP adapter failed with the error 'An error occurred while connecting to the FTP server 'ftpserverip:21'. The FTP server returned the following error message: 'com.sap.aii.adapter.file.ftp.FTPEx: 550 /root/dynamic/: The system cannot find the path specified. '. For details, contact your FTP server vendor.
Were you able to resolve this issue using any SAP notes?
Thanks in advance.
Thanks,
Joe.

Receiver FTP adapter not intialized

Hello all,
I have set up a receiver File adapter but when I check the adapter monitor it shows me "Adapter not initialized"...The authorizations are prefect since I have set admin id's in the FTP server username and pwd. I would like to check the adapter engine to see if this adpater has been turned on..What is the URL to check the adapter engine in the J2EE stack ?? Also I set up a mail adapter which never shows up in the adapter monitor ..What could be missing??
-Ken

Hi,
go to the path:
<server>\<sapSID>\DVEBMGS10\j2ee\cluster\server0\log\services\com.sap.aii.adapter.file.svc
inside you should be able to find all of you adapters
config_[adaptername] files.
inside you can see their configuration and sometimes
an error message at the end
maybe there will be something over there

Archiving files sent by Receiver FTP Adapter ?

Hello,
we search for a solution to archive a file, which was sent by a receiver File/FTP Adapter (via FTP) to a ftp server.
in an other directory on the FTP server. (Similar to the standard function of the sender File/FTP Adapter)
Any Ideas ? A hint would be nice.

Queue processing in receiver idoc adapter

hi all
i am doing file to idoc scenario and i want to use queue proceesing option can anybody tell me the entire process regarding queue processing.

Hi KUNAAL MASIH ,
U can use a Prioritized queue for urgent messages that must be processed immediately
These r the details Queues Prioritization:
Queues for Prioritized Message Processing
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/04/827440c36ed562e10000000a155106/content.htm
Queue prioritization for XI processing queues uses a built in feature of qRFC. By specifying the maximum processing time for a queue, u can define how much processing time a specific queue will get(this works like a time-scheduling procedure, time slicing). U can use this feature to add queues for high-priority and low-priority messages(for inbound and outbound processing). These queues are then named, for example XBT1* or XBT9* for inbound EO processing and XBTA, XBTZ for outbound EO processing.
This function uses the message filter concept and can be configured in transaction SXMB_ADM. U can define message filters for specific message attributes such as sender/reciever service, interface and so on. A filter can also be dependent on the message size.
This function can also be useful in situations where a queue backlog needs to be processed, due to a system error or an error on the reciever side, for example. In this case, u can use a Prioritized queue for urgent messages that must be processed immediately, without having to process the whole back-log first.
How to prioritize XI messages on the integration server
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/20bb9649-e86e-2910-7aa9-88ed4972a5f6
The parameter QualityOfService specifies how the Integration Engine should process a message. The following values are permitted:
1)BE(Best Effort: synchronous processing). If QualityOfService is BE, the client is sent the final status for the processing.
2)EO(Exactly Once: asynchronous processing with guaranteed execution exactly once). If QualityOfService is EO,processing occurs asynchronously and the client only recieves a confirmation of reciept with HTTP status '200'.
3)EOIO(Exactly Once in Order: asynchronous processing using queues, that is, guaranteed execution exactly once and maintaining the sequence of successive messages). If QualityOfService is EOIO,processing occurs asynchronously and the client only recieves a confirmation of reciept with HTTP status '200'.
Since u had choosen EOIO ,You must also define a queue name for EOIO:
XI.QueueId=<QueueName>
This queue name is used in the Integration Engine to process messages in the same sequence that they arrived in.
This QueueName can consist of a maximum of 16 characters. If the first 8 characters contain 'SAP_ALE_', these r removed since this value is reserved by SAP and used internally.
If a value is not specified for QualityOfService , the default value 'BE' is used.
