OutBound File Adapter Issue

Hi,
I need some help in configuring file adapters:
Process: I have a inbound adapter where i am feeding 4000 - 5000 rows of data from a flat file. I use these records to query a database and get response. I have a outbound file adapter where I write database response to a file.
Problem: I have set the, write new file to 100 records. But if there are 3950 records going to outbound file adapter, It is only writing 3900 records in the output file directory.
I need to write all records to the file. Please help me achieve this.
Thank You
Anil

Hi,
the batching criteria (100) is not met.
You could improve the bahaviour by setting "Elapsed Time Exceeds" parameter, but still, there are some probs because critaria is only evaluated on invocation (anyone has an answer to that?!):
from Doc:
Elapsed Time Exceeds: Specify a time which, when exceeded, causes a new outgoing file to be created.
Note:
The Elapsed Time Exceeds batching criteria is evaluated and a new outgoing file is created, only when an invocation happens.
For example, if you specify that elapsed time exceeds 15 seconds, then the first message that is received is not written out, even after 15 seconds, as batching conditions are not valid. If a second message is received, then batching conditions become valid for the first one, and an output file is created when the elapsed time exceeds 15 seconds.

Dynamic file names in outbound file adapter

I have to configure a flow in XI system wich takes an input file from one machine and after mapping process leaves the output file in target machine with the same name of input file.
Name of input file won't be always the same (*.dat) so i cannot hardcode this name in outbound file adapter.
Does anyone know how to transfer input filename from inbound file adapter to XI message and then to outbound file adapter?
I know there is an option to create dynamic file names in file adapter but i think it isn't enought to solve my problem.

Get the filename after an outbound file adapter operation

Hello,
I am calling an outbound file adapter operation in BPEL (10.1.3.3) - using a filename mask with a sequence (i.e. po_%SEQ%.xml). I would like to provide the filename created at run-time (i.e. po_123.xml) to my BPEL process so I can send this in an e-mail. Is this possible?
Thanks in advance!

Well, I took a different approach - which looks like it will work. Instead of letting the adapter decide the filename - I'm generating that in BPEL and passing that to the adapter using the header variable. So ... nevermind. ;-)

Append functionality in Outbound File Adapter

Hi all,
I have a question regarding append functionality in outbound file adapter.
When I append files for example I get a XML file with different XML files in one file, but is it also possible to collect and bundle the files and get a same result when u use BPM?
Do I have to add some parameters?
Kind regards,
Kamran Vakili

It is not possible, when you append XML files.
The result XML file is not valid, as you have multiple declarations and root tags.
The append mode for the file adapter should be used only for flat files.

Stefan

TargetFilename in the Outbound File Adapter

Hi all,
I have created an interface that sends projects form SAP PS (by tRFC) to a file directory (using an outbound file adapter). Each project is created as a individual file. All this works well, but the filenames created for the files are not very intuitive for the users looking at the files at the receiver point since there are quite a lot of similar files only distinguished from each other by a timestamp (usualy only separated by milliseconds).
Is there a way to make the file adapter append data from one XML tag in the file name? I.e:
file.TargetFilename='<project></project>'.txt
file.writeMode=addTimeStamp
giving i.e a file '1234567_timestamp.txt'
This way I can include i.e. the project number + timestamp as filename making it user friendly for the people using the files.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Best Regards
Odd Hilt

HI
Read the file without using key field. Just define the FCC parameters Header and Items PI will pick the file.
DT_Source
 Record
 Header 0..1
 PO_Number String 0..1
 Items 0..unbounded
 Items String 0..1
Do the FCC
Header.fieldnames PO_Number
other config for Header
Items.fieldnames Items
other config for items
Thanks

File adapter issue in Linux enviornment

hi'
I am deploying BPEL in Linux enviornment, and with the file adapter read operation I am reading a test.xml file this file is internally refering to emp.xsd (files are below), now the issue is the file adapter is reading XML file even if it is invalid, this was not the case in windows XP enviornment, please advice why it is behaving like this.
Also the path of my XSD is "/home/wsfbpel/public_html/XSD" and the file has all read write permission (chmod 777 filename)
XSD

XML (this is clearly invalid with respect to XSD it is refering to)

File Adapter Issue: Not functioning when used with BIC user modules

Hi! ALL
We have been experiencing issue with file adapter, when we SeeBurger BIC user modules in sender file - FTP communication channel.
The regular FTP functionality is working fine if do not have BIC user modules defined under the module tab.However, when put in BIC user module parameters it is not picking up the file.
Also, we do not see any error logs; even the communication channel monitoring does not show any error log....only show the polling interval success, without the file being picked up.
This issue started appearing once we deployed our new sda file....as we changed our BIC mapping.
We can try doing back to our previous sda file....to see it fixes the problem.
But, before doing that ....we would like to know where the cause of this issue....Can you point us to any error logs we can find on the PI server.
Your help is greatly appreciated!!
Thank you,
Patrick.

If you configured your logging correctly you should find in the log folders
./applications/com.seeburger.jucon/
./applications/com.seeburger.bicxiadapter/
Try to scan those for recent errors - if the no log files can be found you should check the defaultTrace.

Base64Binary OSB and File Adapter Issue

Hi all,
I am converting an xml to flat file after that i want to write the flatfile to a file using File Adapter in OSB.
So using java callout we converted the binary content to base64 string and we are able to write the data using file adapter .
But the file contains as extra line in between each line which my legacy system wont accept.
I printed the base64 string in the output file and when i decode that file using the website as safe decode as text i am able to get the correct file.
So where is the problem ? File Adapter ? Why i am getting extrace line in between each line . How to write safely using file adapter.
If i use file transport of OSB i am able to write without any issues but i want to write dynamic location so i am looking for file transport of OSB.
Thanks
Phani

Hi Anju,
Thanks for the response . If i decode the base64 binary data using this website if i use Notepad++ i cant see an extra line in the notepad++ it showing as below
Its a fixed length file 1 to 513 then next line so for the file transport it showing as below
ISA ............................
1 to 513 CRLF
For file adapter it is showing as below in the same notepad++ editor
ISA..........................
1 to 513 CR
CRLF
an extra CR so an extra line .
I used MFL and converted the xml to non-xml ( flat file fixed length file) for file transport i am i created another proxy message type Text .It is working fine
Added to the above problem i have another few questions on the file transport
How can append to an exiting file using File transport ?
How to change the File directory dynamically ?

FTP/File adapter issue (polling one file at a time)

Hi,
I have come across an interesting scenario. I have a folder in which many files are placed at once (around 20+).
In my adapter I need such a logic that whenever file adapter polls the directory, it should only pick one file, wait for the specified time (in PollingFrequency interval or maybe some other way) and then poll the next file. Right now it polls all the files in one go.
Is there any property that I can use or any other logic that can help me achieve this?
Thanks.

Hi, You can use MaxRaiseSize property. Set its value to 1.

Receiver File Adapter Issue

Hi,
I have a scenario like R3(IDOC)->XI(Mapping)->FTP(Content Conversion)
I am trying to FTP a file across to a vendor's FTP server using the reciver file . adapter. The target filename is of the form %ABC%IJK%%b.However on posting the file i get a message like.
An error occurred while connecting to the FTP server '<hostname>:21'. The FTP server returned the following error message: 'com.sap.aii.adapter.file.ftp.FTPEx: 200 Command Okay. ID: <userid>, Current TR - Recv: <userid>, APRF: *BINARY, Dir: S. Get option: single. '. For details, contact your FTP server vendor.
It seems although the connection is established, the ftp put does not work
Can anyone help on what is the cause of the error and possible solutions.
Regards,
Alex.

There can be following things:
- Target Dir is not present or you dont have an authorization to create it.
- Check the Access to put the file in that directory.
Check the same for other interface also. If other interfaces are running fine then try to put the file in that DIRECTORY for test purpose.
Thanks

File Adapter Issue

In file adapter Source system having 7 columns and Target system having 6 columns?
how to synchronise it?
Edited by: 995694 on Apr 5, 2013 9:33 PM

Did u mean, how to translate the content from source to target?
If that is the case, try using an XSLT transformation.
How are the 7 columns fitting on 6 columns? I mean, maybe 2 columns represent 1 at the Target? Something like that?
thx
best

Outbound File Adapter

Hi,
 We are working on idoc->file scenario. The target file structure used for mapping is as follows.
DT_XXX
 |___HEADER 1..1
 |___RESPONSE 1..1
 |___TROUT 1..1
 |___TRANS 1..1
 | |___TRANS_REJ 0..UNBOUNDED
 |___METER 0..UNBOUNDED
 | |___MET_REJ 0..UNBOUNDED
 |___TRAILER 1..1
The expected file format is like,
HEADER,1,1,1
RESPN,2,2,2
TROUT,3,3,3
TRANS,4,4,4
TRNRJ,5,5,5
TRNRJ,6,6,6
METER,7,7,7
METRJ,R,R,R
METRJ,R,R,R
METER,8,8,8
METRJ,R,R,R
METRJ,R,R,R
TRAIL
But the problem is like after TRANS,4,4,4 is written the file adapter is not knowing TRNRJ,5,5,5 is its child. But TRNRJ,6,6,6 is being written in a new line. The same case with Meter also.
we have given in the file adapter content conversion parameters as
DT_HEADER.fieldNames
DT_HEADER.fieldSeparator
DT_HEADER.endSeparator
DT_HEADER.keyFieldValues for each and every node in the target structure given above
Can somebody pls throw some light into the same???
Thanks in advance
Jayakrishnan

Hi
 We are getting the file as follows:
HEADER,1,1,1
RESPN,2,2,2
TROUT,3,3,3
TRANS,4,4,4,TRNRJ,5,5,5(b4 TRNRJ one new line should come)
TRNRJ,6,6,6
METER,7,7,7,METRJ,R,R,R(b4 METRJ one new line should come)
METRJ,R,R,R
METER,8,8,8,METRJ,R,R,R(b4 METRJ one new line should come)
METRJ,R,R,R
TRAIL
Thanks

File adapter issue - files not processed (file name mask is *)

Hi guys!
I have a problem I never faced before. My file adapter doesn't process files in the source directory. When I put there exact file's name, it is processed. But when I use * , nothing happen. This is very strange. I was wondering, if problem can't be in that my PI box is UNIX and it's accessing Win filesystem.
Any ideas, what to try?
Thank you!
Olian

Yes, but I meant the one directory we're working in. We can write, delete there, so we should be able also use wildcards, don't we?
However, I tried it on a directory with 777 attributes. There is a file named clooo.ttt. When I run del .ttt I get Requested action not taken, file unavailable. The same for clooo. , clooo*,... But when I type del clooo.ttt, the file is deleted...
Any suggestions?

Soa Suite: How to limit Outbound File Adapter retry to write to specified location.

Hi all,
I have created a file adapter that tries to write files to the specified location.
If location is wrong, I was expecting to get an error.
But none is generated.
It seems that the service keeps on trying to write to the specified location until it finds it (which is never to happen).
Please tell if I am wrong at this.
I want my service to stop retrying after a period of time or after a number of retries or whatever is happening.
I want to get error if location is wrongly specified.
Regards and thanks in advanced,

Hi,
Place the receive (or invoke) in a Scope and place a OnAlarm on the scope.
Set the OnAlarm to a max timeout. When the OnAlarm is reached the sequence of that OnAlarm will catch the transaction and you can throw an Error.
You can then catch or retrow the error.
Below some images that show the concept on a receive (download to view).
- ScopeWithOnAlarm
- OnAlarmSettings

Hi,
In your case, to write any data to a file, you need to define/use a schema when you are using a file adapter.
