Multimapping: RFC+File to File

Hello,
I've read a lot of blogs about multimapping and BPMs but I don't know how to solve my problem yet.
I have an RFC in R3 that triggers data to XI. Then XI must receive that data and read a file with more data.
Once I have all the data I have to map to a target file.
My problem now is, how can I tell to XI to read the source flat file when it receives the R3 RFC data?

Maybe the problem is that simply the file adapter doesnt support requests?
It is read only (send file adapter) or write only (receiver file adapter).
The scenario will have to be changed.
If it is feasible to use correlations, you can start the bpm with the receiver from rfc (which sets the correlation), then receive step waits for file that matches the correlation set by 1st receiver, then you proceed.
If you do have to execute a "file query" (for example, if the pooling directory is defined by the rfc), you'll have to write a java or abap proxy that does it.

Dynamic file name from input payload (RFC 2 flat file)

Hi,
I have an RFC to flat file scenario. The output flat file has not an XML structure, it's just a plain text file generated with abap mapping.
In my source interface (RFC), I have a field called <FILENAME>, I want to use the value of that field to create the target file using dynamic file name. But if in variable substitution I use payload:ZRFC_NAME,1,FILENAME,1 It doesn't work because the dynamic variable substitution try to access to output payload, not the source one...
What can I do?

Hi Marshal,
You can add a extra node to your target strucutre like
FileName- Node
--FileName - Element.
do the mapping from the field filename of RFC to FileName field in u r target strucure. And use this field path at Refrence in variable subtituion.
In the Content converison add the Name & Values as below
FileName.fileldNames -- FileName
FileName.fieldFixedLengths -- 0
FileName.fixedLengthTooShortHandling -- Cut
So the extra field in u r target structure would not populate in u r target text file.
Cheers

Step by Step Guide Details for RFC to File and File to RFC scenario

Hi Guru's
Good day to you. I am tyring to develop some scenarios based on RFC adaptor. so i want to start up with basic scenarios like RFC to File scenario(Here i just want to pull some data from SAP using RFC and put it in destination folder as an text file) and FILE to RFC scenario (Here i just want to take some data from the file and update into SAP).
For doing these scenarios i would like to request you people to send me the step by step guide which explains me about the complete steps of configurations required to do the RFC to FILE scenario and FILE to RFC scenario.
I found some scenarios and i am in confused state. so i request you to please put your experience to help me out.
thanks in advance.
Regards
Raj

Hi Aaron,
I don't know your scenario and your ECC and PI versions but I learned how to use ABAP Proxy more than 1 year ago with the following tutorial:
Edit--> The forum doesn't allow me to post external link, just search "ABAP Proxy Communication Scenario" in google and visit the 1st result
The way to develop ABAP Proxys has changed a little if your PI is 7.1. In the ECC side, the transaction SPROXY looks much better too if you have a recent version of the ECC.
Edited by: Marshal on Oct 8, 2009 5:08 PM
I've found that SDN Document. Maybe the scenario is not the most simple to start with ABAP Proxy but is very well documented and is for PI 7.1. The document also handles the inbound and outbound proxys

File-to-File/RFC scenario with reading filename

Hi,
i have a File-to-File/RFC scenario which causes some problems in desining it correctly. Maybe some of you has an idea how to do this.
Scenario:
- A file is picked up by a File-Adapter. The files are different: pdf, doc, tiff, jpg, txt, ...
- The file must now go through a business process (not necessary the file, but i need the filename in the business process).
- The process has to contact several backend systems (SAP R/3) to collect some data. To achieve this the filename has to be send to this systems.
- The collected data are send via SOAP to a receiver system
- The file itself has to be stored in a directory via File-Adapter.
Here's my problem:
- Is it possible to transport the binary file content within a message which contains other elements (e.g. filename)?
- Is it possible to do graphical mappings with such a payload (only 1 to 1)? Or must i use Java Mappings only?
- How to generate a Message from the sender File Adapter which contains binary file content AND filename? Is this possible with a Module?
- Is it better to create 2 messages with an adapter module? One with the image the other with the filename. Or is it better to split them later in a Mapping?
Thanks in advance,
ms

If all that you need is the file name, use adapter specific settings in the sender file adapter. Then you can access the file name in mapping runtime in UDFs. If you want to have content of the pdf, jpg etc images, i do not think there are ready modules available except for reading pdfs ( you might have to research on this).
For look ups etc with R3 systems, you can use the file name that you got from the adapter and store it in mapping fields.

How to do the multimapping in File to File Scenario

Hi All,
I am doing File to File scenario using Multimapping Concept.pls send the procedure how to do the Massege mapping using Multimapping.
I have a source structure like this.
<order header>
order no
order Description
</order header>
<Orderitem>
matno
description
Qty
UOM
</Orderitem>
i need output text file Like
Ono Oodesc OMatno Odes Oqty OUOM
1 02 123 Oil 2 L
1 02 789 Milk 4 L
How to do the multimapping for this.if any Advanced java functions needed pls send the code.
Thanks
Govindu.

Hello Govind,
Make the target str as below
<root>
<Row>
<OrderNo></OrderNo>
<OrderDesc></OrderDesc>
<Matno></Matno>,
<Desc></Desc>
<Qty></Qty>
<UOM></UOM>
</Row>
</root>
The mapping for elements
<Matno>,<Desc>,<Qty>,<UOM> is straight-forward. The node <Row> can be mapped to <OrderItem> node in source. For orderNo and OrderDesc you need to use advanced UDF (with entire queue cached) as below.
public void getOrderNo(String[] a,String[] b,ResultList result, Container container){
/Declare a vector to store unique Order Numbers /Order Desc/
Vector vOno = new Vector();
 for (int i = 0;i<a.length;i++){
 if (a.equals()ResultList.CC) continue;
 /Add distinct Order numbers to the vector/
 if(!vOno.contains(a)) vOno.add(a);
int headerCounter = 0;
String value = new String();
value = (String) vOno.get(headerCounter);
 for (int j = 0;j<b.length;j++){
 /When context changes, move to next order no/
 if (b[j].equals()ResultList.CC){
 headerCounter++;
 value = (String) vOno.get(headerCounter);
 continue;
 /Repeat the current order number/Order Desc until a context change occurs/
 result.addValue(value);
The mapping for OrderNo can be like below:
Pass <Order No> from Header to the UDF as array a[] and <OrderItem> from Item as array b[]. Take the output of the function and make it SplitByValue the result of which can be passed to OrderNo. The context of both < Order No> and <OrderItem> has to be one level higher.
Similar mapping for OrderDesc can be made using the same UDF
I hope that resolves your problem.

Amit

File- Xi- File & RFC scenario

Hi guys,
I have a scenario where file is picked up from one file system(A) and is put in
file system(B) .
Now there is R/3 system which will pick up the files from file system(B)
by a already developed abap program.
But the problem is R3 doesnot want ot poll the File system (B) every 10 min
to see the file has arrived or not. it needs a trigger in form of RFC from XI
After R3 gets a trigger , it will pick up the file from file system(B).
How can we do this using BPM
Regards

Hi Madhusudhan,
Without using BPM, u can poll the file system B and trigger the RFC..
Else if you want to use BPM, include the following steps
receive step(Receives file input)
send step(Post file to o/p directory)
another send step to trigger the RFC
In between somewhere you need to initialize the message interface container elemnt which you'll use to trigger the RFC

Problem in multimapping(File to File)

Hi Experts,
I have a scenarion in which i have
1:N multimapping(for file to file)....
I am using java mapping for that.
During mapping it's creating more than 1 message type in one message ....that's fine
eg:
   Message1
      mt_1
      mt_1
      mt_1
Message2
    Mt_2
    Mt_2
I get the above proper output while testing in Mapping......But if i test in Test Configuration or in End to End.... it throws an error
Interface Determination Cannot be found
Is it because i have multiple same message types for a given Message1 or Message2(As shown above).. or something else
Thanks,
Babu.

Hi Hibabu,
1. Please try to make sure that the interface mapping also works fine with the given interfaces for the mentioned message mapping in.
2. Check the interface determination again .wether wether u mentioned all the required parameters properly or not and activate it again.
3.In configuration during interface determination .use Enhanced Interface determination and mention the multimapping mentioned interface mapping there.
Thanks,
Ram.

RFC to multi file scenario

Hi,
I have to carry out a RFC to multi-file scenario. The requirement is that Error generating on whatever part XI will handle have to be reported. Is this possible in this scenario? What can be the mechanism?
I want to report these errors via a mail to an e-mail id.
Since i haven't done this scenario, i would appreciate if some link for carrying this out step-by-step is given.Also tell me what configuration for receiving RFC has to be done on XI and R/3.

Rfc sender - text file

I have a interface using rfc sender. When it's executed, a file is created.
When the format is a XML, the file is created, but, when I use "File Content Conversion" in "File Adatper" to convert the data in text format, the file is not created.
The structure of my RFC is:
Y_SD_XI_EDI_NOTFIS - RFC
DATA - Table
 TEXT - Field
The configuration in "File Content Conversion" is:
Recordset Structure: DATA,* (I already write this using "DATA")
DATA.fileNames: TEXT
DATA.processConfiguration: fromConfiguration
DATA.endSeparator: 'nl'
What is the problem?

Hi,
I changed the RFC. Now, there is only DATA table and a Import Parameter.
I'm still with same problem.
I see that when I run the process don't using the Content Conversion, all the logs in RWB is "Successful", but, when I run using "Content Conversion", one log was "Waiting" (aways were generated three logs).
The log detail for process using "Content Conversion" is equal to process that dont use "Content Conversion".
The detail is:
code]2006-01-19 19:31:08 Success The message was successfully received by the messaging system. Profile: XI URL: http://sapccnwd:51300/MessagingSystem/receive/AFW/XI

RFC Sender Asynchronous -- File Problem

Hi all,
I want to sent an asynchronous RFC to a file but when I execute my scenario in R3 it always returns a dump. In the XI monitoring I get the response error from the file: "Unable to read the payload from the message object".
I think its strange because I even don't want the file adapter to send a response but he does. I suspect that the problem is on R3 side because it sends a synchronous RFC call, but I don't have any idea how to send an Asynchronous RFC call to XI (via the RFC adapter).
Steps I made:
- Created on R3 a TCP/IP entry as registered server program
- Created in XI an RFC adapter with registered server program name
- rest of the configuration...
I think my main problem is that R3 expects an answer back because it throws a synchronous call to XI, but I don't have any clue how to set up an asynchronouss RFC call in R3 to XI (so my ABAP program doesn't dump).
TIA

Hi Peter,
first, if you didn't already have done that, load up a RFC function module to XI Repository, where you have only the XSD, no abap source code.
In a ABAP program code:
CALL FUNCTION 'MyFunction'
DESTIONATION 'mySM59Destination'
IN BACKGROUND TASK
... "the normal call
COMMIT WORK.

Udo

File to File and then Call ABAP Program and pass file name and location

Hi
I am new to PI and am working on the following requirement and some guidance would help:
A file is picked up from a third party server using FTP and is put in an SAP server in a specific location. After I have put in the file successfully, I need to call an ABAP program and provide the name and location of the file for further processing by the ABAP program.
Although I am familiar with File to File, how can I add in the ABAP call with the filename and location? I do not want to pass any other information to the ABAP program.
Thanks for your help.
Manoj

I think I get what you're saying. This additional file would have the file and the path in it's content. I would then use this as a source (FCC?) for Mapping with the RFC. Right?
Exactly and yes, FCC would be helpful
Would you have a sample OS script to do the above?
Actually it depends on the operating system on which your PI system is standing. For instance for Windows, you might try with the following as a start point (but I was not able to test it, so I can't guarantee it will do the job):
cmd.exe /C "%f %F > C:\target_directory\%DATE%_%TIME%.txt"
In case you needed more, try googling on "windows batch script" or similar.
Hope this helps,
Greg

Error in file-webservice- file (Error: java.lang.NullPointerException)

Hi everybody,
I have configured a file-webservice-file without BPM scenario...as explained by Bhavesh in the following thread:
File - RFC - File without a BPM - Possible from SP 19.
I have used a soap adapter (for webservice) instead of rfc .My input file sends the date as request message and gets the sales order details from the webservice and then creates a file at my sender side.
1 communication channel for sender file
1 for receiver soap
1 for receiver file
Error: java.lang.NullPointerException
What could be the reason for this error
thanks a lot
Ramya

Hi Tanaya,
I monitored the channels in the Runtime work bench and the error is in the sender ftp channel.The other 2 channel status is "not used" in RWB.

File to File using BPM & value mapping

Hi,
   I have the following scenario to do. sample file structure is given below.
source:
HDR   13052008INDIA
BDY   123456
BDY   1234567
EOF
Target:
HDR 2IN BDY 123456 EOF
HDR 2IN BDY 1234567 EOF
for the above mentioned source and target mapping. we have to use BPM and value mapping.
In the HDR row 13052008 is the date value this has to be passed to RFC function module and it will return 2, this value has to be mapped to target
And INDIA has to be mapped to IN using the value mapping option. similarly we have many coutry code.
could anyone let me know the step by step procedure to achieve this, I followed the blog https://weblogs.sdn.sap.com/pub/wlg/1926. [original link is broken] [original link is broken] [original link is broken] but it does not fit to my scenario.
help is appreciated.
Regards
RDS

Hey,
     This is a normal file to file scenario.
     You need to use RFC look up instead of value mapping.(as you need to extract 2 and IN from an RFC)
There is no need for a BPM.
refer to this blog(for RFC look up)
/people/sravya.talanki2/blog/2005/12/21/use-this-crazy-piece-for-any-rfc-mapping-lookups
this will solve your problem.
Output of RFC look up will be 2 and IN . So use the concat function.
Other values map them directly from source to target.
Also, set the occurence for the target structure as 0 to unbounded in the mapping.(this is to be done in order to have one file for each record of the source)
You also need to configure file content conversion.(both at sender and reciever side) to convert the text file to XML on the sender side and then XML to text at the reciever side.
refer to this link for FCC.
/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2004/12/15/how-to-send-a-flat-file-with-fixed-lengths-to-xi-30-using-a-central-file-adapter
This is for sender file content conversion.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/44/79973cc73af456e10000000a114084/frameset.htm
This is for reciever FCC.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/44/79973cc73af456e10000000a114084/frameset.htm
reward points if useful.

File-webservice-file , error in BPM workflow

Hi GURUs,
I am working on file-webservice-file scenario. I have followed the blog /people/arpit.seth/blog/2005/06/27/rfc-scenario-using-bpm--starter-kit . In my BPM workflow I am getting error right at the receive step it self and not proceeding to next step. Error in workflow log saying, no proper message id for the outbound abstract interface. Main thing here is we dont have any value passing fields in our outbound request message type as well as in the request in the wsdl. In these two emssagess we have only on element hich is not of any type. Is this the reason for the error I am getting.
any help ill be appreciated,
Regards,
Reyaz

Means, in the outbond request message type and the request message type in the WSDL . in these messages we dont have a single field which can carry some value. We have an element which is not of any type like string , number etc..
Regards,
Reyaz
