NTFS junction points in file adapter

As for my system (NW70 SPS14), file adapter can't resolve symbolic links when configured as NFS/sender.
So I have D:\very\big\level\of\deep\some\directory and D:\dsfs pointed at it using JP. In RWB I can see following error message: Configured source directory 'D:\dsfs' does not exist
Why is FA so stupid?

Because of file adapter works on J2EE-side, there is no need in AL11 approach. SAPService<SID> is the user who has to have enough rights, and he actually has full access to both of directories (full and linked).

Cannot access windows shares with NTFS junction points

Hi,
I upgraded to Mavericks and now I cannot access Windows shared where the folders are access through NTFS junction points. (NTFS junction points are like symbolic links to files/folders).
Regular shares are working fine and these shares are working on Windows PC's. I also tried before and after on another Mac Mini I have, so is definitatley something to do with upgrading to Mavericks.
Thanks in advance
A.

This is related to Apple's new SMB2 implementation in Mavericks.
Instead of connecting to your Windows share via SMB, connect via CFIS. Note that I had to disconnect from Windows share, restart, and then reconnect with CFIS to get the NTFS junction points to work.
From ZDNet:
You can also try forcing Mavericks to use the older SMB variant, Common Internet File System (CIFS). To do this, simply edit your server connection URL so that it uses CIFS. Use the Finder to choose the "Go" menu and select "Connect to Server..." (or just use command-K) and type "cifs://YourServerName" and hit Return; the server should mount. If it doesn't, try entering the share's designation as well, e.g. "cifs://YourServerName/YourDriveName."
[BE SURE TO RESTART AFTER DISCONNECTING FROM SMB SHARES AND BEFORE THE CFIS CONNECT TO MAKE SURE ALL ACCESS THREADS CLOSE!]

DB Mutex Error with Outbound operation using Normal File adapter in HA env

Hi All,
I Have a simple process which picks data from a weblogic jms queue and writes it to a file. Each day this task is carried out once in a day and it writes approx 30k records to the file. the process is made singleton (singleton property on inbound JMS adapter) and used the HA file adapter to write to the file. This setup gave rise to lot of DB Mutex errors. To avoid the DB mutex issue i pointed the file adapter to use the Normal file adapter connection factory instead of the HA File adapter one used earlier. The surprising thing is even this gave rise to DB mutex errors.
1. Am i missing something here,according to my understanding using a normal file adapter conn factory even in a HA environment should not be creating multiple locks on the file write.
2. Can i change the standard DS used in the file adapter to a custom DS? will that solve the problem?
I hope the scenario is clear. Following is the error extract seen at the process and log level
Exception occured when binding was invoked. Exception occured during invocation of JCA binding: "JCA Binding execute of Reference operation 'Write' failed due to: Unable to acquire mutex for interaction. Unable to acquire mutex for interaction. Unable to acquire lock on resource for "DatabaseMutex::acquireNoSave". ". The invoked JCA adapter raised a resource exception. Please examine the above error message carefully to determine a resolution.
Thanks

We are getting the same error in 11.1.1.5 PS4 version also.Can you post the content of your .jca file here?

Reading Multiple files of same kind wth File adapter urgnt plz solve this.

Hi evry one
i am new to BPEL and i am in need of file adapter functionality. I have a folder which has files of naming convention
NSD 123-222 090714T01:23:23 if i suppose i have some hundred files in that folder and i am pointing the file adapter to read files from that folder.The pois all the files have same naming convention with different time stamp and at the same time if all the files have same start name all of the files get picked up at the same time my concern here is if i want to process each file in a while loop as soon as the file get picked up according to the target schema.what can be the condition inthe while loop so that each file gets processed in the loop.
Is there any process where i can count the number of files in the folder so that i can make use of that count in the while process.The files in the folder are in xml format these multiple files of same target schema.
please help me in figuring out this issue.
Regards,
P

There is no direct solution in my opinion. What you can do is - write some java code (either embedded activity or through WSIF). In this code you access the directory and count the files, return that count to your bpel process...then use the while loop with sync read

Is the DFS replication DFsrPrivate a junction point folder and if so where are the files stored?

We have DFS replication set and see an arrow against the folder DFSrPrivate. Do the files reside at this location or elsewhere?
Thanks
David

Hi David,
The DFsrPrivate folder resides at replicated folders. This folder is in reality a junction point or, in simpler terms, a link to another location on the volume. It seems to point to a path under the ‘System Volume Information’ folder on the same volume.
For more detailed information, you could refer to the article below:

Archive file with errors in sender file adapter not working! please help!

Hi Experts,
I have a file to RFC scenario. the input is a XML file. I have setup the flag in sender file adapter channel for archiving the input files with errors. But it is not working.
For testing I have used an invalid xML file for example without the main XML tag. I have also tested with a MSWORD file saved with.xml extension. But in both the cases the files are not getting archived.
My archive location permissions are fine and in fact normal archive operation is happening. That is, if I select the processing mode as "Archive" and gave the Archive directory then files are getting archived. The problem is only with the "Archive faulty source files" option.
What am I missing? DO I need to do some more configurations?
What are the prerequisites if any for this option?
How to test this?
Please help me! I will be greatfull to you all!

Problem facing in sender file adapter

Hi XI gurus,
I am facing a problem in sender file adapter communcation channel
Is there any restriction in XI that XI picks max of 100 at a time .
Actaully probolem here is My XI sender file adapter need to pick 2800 file from ftp.
adapter need to file pick files ranging SAP_OUT_066581_280_INV.xml to SAP_OUT_SZ22TXN066581_2800_INV.xml
to pick these we have given file name as u201CSAP_OUT_*_INV.xmlu201D when ever given this XI is coming with no messges.
when ever file name is given as SAP_OUT_SZ22TXN066581_3*_INV.xml it XI has picked file from 300 to 399
when eve tried with the options to pick all the message
SAP_OUT_SZ22TXN066581_*_INV.xml Failed with no messaege
even atleast tried to pick 1000 mesaanges from 1000 to 1999
i have given like this
SAP_OUT_SZ22TXN066581_1*_INV.xml failed with no messages
while trying with option xi picking file max 100 at a time
SAP_OUT_SZ22TXN066581_1*_INV.xml

SAP_OUT_SZ22TXN066581_12*_INV.xml
like this I am increaing the number and picking maximum of 100 messages only
Is there any way to auto mate this or nny file names need to be required
waiting for your reply

Check SAP Note 821267 - FAQ: XI 3.0 / PI 7.0/ PI 7.1 File Adapter.
I guess point 8 might relate to your problem if the FTP adapter timeout occurs.
check the note 849089 as well.
Also check point 13 and 26.

XI file adapter polling faster than poll interval

Hi,
We are facing a issue with the file adapter/authorization of the FTPUSER.
We FTP a server and pick up a file from a particular folder.
My polling interval is 2 minutes
My retry interval is space.
Processing mode : ARCHIVE
We are archiving it on a Network attached server(NAS) mounted on our XI server.
When XI polls for the first time it picks up the file but the sender file adapter shows following error in RWB.
<b>2006-01-20 11:31:08 GMT: Error: Deleting of file 'ARUCSjnewb80.txt' failed - cannot proceed: FTPEx: ARUCSjnewb80.txt: Access is denied.</b>
The picked up file gets processed but at the same time just within 12-13 seconds of the first poll XI picks up the file second time and then in another 3 seconds for the third time.
After this the file gets archived thrice in the archive directory and then gets deleted from the source directory.
We are unable to understand why XI is polling again after few seconds of the first poll.(As per my understanding it should have polled after 2 minutes).
I am able to delete the file manually from the Ftp server.
Could anyone give a pointer towards what we are missing or what probable reasons could be?
authorization issue?( XIADM /ftpuser have full authorization)
Some adapter setting?
Regards,
Sulakshana

Hi,
Could you let me know how frequent the file gets loaded to the FTP server.
Is your file size too large to get loaded.. If so try to increase the polling interval. Also make sure that you have provided the polling time in sec and not in minutes...i.e for 2 minutes it should have been specified as 120 sec as polling interval

Nithiyanandam

Performance problems with File Adapter and XI freeze

Hi NetWeaver XI geeks,
We are deploying a XI based product and encounter some huge performance problems. Here after the scenario and the issues:
- NetWeaver XI 2004
- SAP 4.6c
- Outbound Channel
- No mapping used and only the iDocs Adapter is involved in the pipeline processing
- File Adapter
- message file size < 2Ko
We have zeroed down the problem to Idoc adapters performance.
We are using a file channel and every 15 seconds a file in a valid Idoc format is placed in a folder, Idoc adapter picks up the file from this folder and sends it to the SAP R/3 instance.
For few minutes (approx 5 mins) it works (the CPU usage is less then 20% even if processing time seems huge : <b>5sec/msg</b>) but after this time the application gets blocked and the CPU gets overloaded at 100% (2 processes disp_worker.exe at 50% each).
If we inject several files in the source folder at the same time or if we decrease the time gap (from 15 seconds to 10 seconds) between creation of 2 Idoc files , the process blocks after posting 2-3 docs to SAP R/3.
Could you point us some reasons that could provoke that behavior?
Basically looking for some help in improving performance of the Idoc adapter.
Thanks in advance for your help and regards,
Adalbert

Hi Bhavesh,
Thanks for your suggestions. We will test...
We wonder if the hardware is not the problem of this extremely poor performance.
Our XI server is:
     Windows 2003 Server
     Processors: 2x3GHZ
     RAM: 4GB (the memory do not soak)
The messages are well formed iDocs = single line INVOICES.
Some posts are talking 2000 messages processed in some seconds... whereas we got 5 sec per message.
Tnanks for your help.
Adalbert

File Adapter: trailing space in field using XSD:Decimal in a CSV file

Hi Folks,
I have a problem which i am unable to understand fully.
We have a SAP to file via XI scenario where a mail adapter is used. We are producing a CSV file as an mail attachment.
The issue is all the decimal fields have an extra space before the next delimiter i.e. comma.
The data type used in mapping is XSD:Decimal with 'fraction' set as 2.
I have checked the source XML and there is no trailing spaces there. Initially i thought this might be due to doing the conversion using transformation beans in mail adapter, to rule this out i checked other files produced using FILE adapter they also appear to have same issue.
I can't get my head around it, could not find any parameter i need to pass in content conversion either in MAIL adapter or FILE adapter to supress trailing space before the delimiter.
I suppose this must have occured with others as well.
Any directions would be greatly appreciated.
Btw, we are on PI 7.0 and ECC 6
-Praveen
Edited by: - External Consultants Mouchel on Sep 15, 2009 5:34 PM

Hi Mouchel,
I personally didnot encounter this kind of issue with the file adapter at any point of time. I would suggest you to check the message mapping before and after payload in sxmb_moni. If you see in mapping you may not find out, so view the source in notepad and then see.

OSB Error in deploying a project with jca file adapter

Hi,
I am facing an issue where I am getting an error when deploying a service from Eclipse. I am using OSB/SOA 11.1.1.5 2 node cluster. I have an OSB service where I am writing to a file and am using file adapater. I created a composite with file adapter to write a file then imported .jac, .wsdl and composite into eclipse and generated a business service out of .jca file. When I deploy the project from eclipse I am getting the below error and am not able to deploy the project.

Unable to clone File Adapter receiver channel for parallel processing

Hi Experts,
I am using variable substitution for File - RFC - File with out BPM scenario(using request response, oneway bean).
While i placed the file in the sender FTP folder, the file didnt get picked up, but in communication channel monitoring, i am getting error ' Unable to clone File Adapter receiver channel for parallel processing'.
Can anybody provide me suggestions to solve this error.
Note : without variable substitution , the interface is working good.
Is it due to, i am trying the source structure field in response file adapter?

Hi,
In your CC, do you use some additional paramaters ?
like these one of point 47/48 of [Oss note 821267 - FAQ: XI 3.0 / PI 7.0/ PI 7.1 File Adapter|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/821267]
Maybe there is conflict with a parallel connexion and the bean used to do asynch-synch bridge...

Receiver file adapter command line

hi,
i am just wondering how to use command line on receiver file adapter.
i am not clear how to use this.
please modify on the following command!
anyway, i have to call java application after put some files by receiver file adapter.
cmd.exe %Fjava ./javacalltest
it did not work..
please guide me.
Command Line
An operating system command specified here is executed before or after a file has been successfully processed. The default value is an empty character string (no command).
When the operating system command is called, the file name currently being processed can be specified with the following placeholders:
%f (file name)
%F (absolute file name including path)

Receiver file adapter not responding

Hi guys,
I have 2 interfaces in XI development system that make use of receiver file adapter in order to receive some .txt files. Although these communication channels used to work until yesterday, for some strange reason they stopped functioning, but only in development system. However, I cannot see any error in Runtime Workbench (Communication channel monitoring), it's status is "correctly configured and started" and has a green sign. But, when I sent a file from sender adapter, it is sent correctly, but it never gets received from receiver communication channel.
There is no error in SXMB_MONI either.
In XI production system, the same interfaces are functioning well.
Any ideas?
Best Regards

Reg:File adapter archive Directory

Dear team,
Our requirement is to read a csv file from a directory and archive the file in archive folder specified in the file adapter.
If any exception is caught,then we need to read the archieve file from archive directory rename the archive file with source file name and place it in source directory.
On the receive activity we are able to get the source file name and source file directory.
<receive name="Receive1" createInstance="yes"
variable="Receive1_Read_InputVariable" partnerLink="fileRead"
portType="ns1:Read_ptt" operation="Read">
<bpelx:property name="jca.file.FileName" variable="srcFileName"/>
<bpelx:property name="jca.file.Directory" variable="srcDrFolder"/>
How to get the archive file name and archive file directory from the receive activity so that we can store in local variables.
Pls do help.
Thanks

Hi,
Another way you can accomplish your scenario. Instead of deleting or archiving in beginning just move the file from inbound to archive location after business flow completion.
In case of error, the file will remain at original position as moving operation is at the end.
First read the file using read operation, then at the end create a file adapter with sync read operation. Change the entries in .jca generated with below sample.
Sample jca file.
<endpoint-interaction portType="SynchRead_ptt" operation="SynchRead">
<interaction-spec className="oracle.tip.adapter.file.outbound.FileIoInteractionSpec">

<property name="SourcePhysicalDirectory"
value="srcdir"/>
<property name="SourceFileName" value="abc.txt"/>
<property name="TargetPhysicalDirectory"
value="targetdir"/>
<property name="TargetFileName" value="abc.txt"/>
<property name="Type" value="MOVE"/>
</interaction-spec>
Then,in you bpel flow at the invoke for sync read add these two properties.
<bpelx:inputProperty name="jca.file.SourceFileName"
variable="varInputFileName"/>
<bpelx:inputProperty name="jca.file.TargetFileName"
variable="varArchiveFileName"/>
<bpelx:inputProperty name="jca.file.SourceDirectory"
variable="varInputDirectory"/>
<bpelx:inputProperty name="jca.file.TargetDirectory"
variable="varArchiveDirectory"/>
