Parameter Filenames in Universal Adapter With Filenames In SrcFiles Dir

Hello Experts,
We are running DAC 10.1.3.4.1 and Informatica 9.0.1 HotFix2 and are in the process of trying to get an OOTB DAC Execution Plan to complete. We are able to build a plan but run into issues when running. We created a custom execution plan called TEST with one subject area (Financials - Cost of Goods Sold) and when the plan is built, 248 tasks are generated. Only 9 complete succcessfully.
When looking at the details of a specific workflow within the Informatica Workflow Manbager, i.e. SDE_Universal_ProjectDimension, we find that within the workflow properties, the Parameter Filename Attribute = $PMSourceFileDir\SDE_Universal_Adaptor.SDE_Universal_ProjectDimension.txt. On our file system, the file is named, $PMSessionLogFile=FLATFILECONNECTION.DBCONNECTION_OLAP.SDE_Universal_Adaptor.SDE_Universal_ProjectDimension.txt. The task fails because it cannot find the file. We believe the different filenames are the reason but are posting this thread because we cannot figure why or how to get the filenames properly synched.
So you know, we are using a data source that is not an Oracle supported data source, hence we are using DAC's Universal Adapter to bring in flatfiles, like the one above for instance.
Please help,
Thanks

Hello,
I don't think it was the source of your problem. It is always the case: DAC generates always SrcFiles with a name='Physical Data Sources Name'.'???'.'Informatica Folder Name'.'Mapping Name'
Where does your file FLATFILECONNECTION.DBCONNECTION_OLAP.SDE_Universal_Adaptor.SDE_Universal_ProjectDimension.txt created ?
Does this path equal to the DAC variable InformaticaParameterFileLocation declared in the DAC System Properties tab (menu Setup) ?
Hope it helps,

Universal Adapter with Home Audio Systems

I recently purchased the Universal Adapter for my Ipod in order to make it easier to connect and disconnect from my home audio system. Things work fine when the Audio cable is directly connected to the port in the Ipod, When I place the Ipod in the Universal dock and try to use the "line out" in the dock, either no sound or very muffled sound occurs. Anybody have any ideas?

It seems likely that it will .I am expecting it to

Filename in J2SE Adapter with Variable Substitution

Hello,
Within the J2EE receiver fileadapter (and ftp) from SP13 it is possible to compose the target filename and directory based on the payload of a message using variable substitution.
I wonder if it is also possible to use variable substitution with the J2SE fileadapter. For this it is not documented but i thougth that the same java libraries are used for the J2EE an J2SE file-adapters.
Aybody??
Really Nobody??

Hello,
the J2SE Adapter does not support variable subsition. Therefore we created our own class which gets called from the main SAP XI class "XMB2FileProcessor.class" wich is in the jar "aii_msg_adapter.jar". In your own class you can do what ever you need to chane the file name. In the configuration you can set your own parameter to search the payload for a string you want to replace. We also had to come up with our own timestamp, e.g. file2005-11-10 which SAP does not let you do, only the full timestamp is possible.
One other nice thing is that you can develop our JAVA class local and test it with your local J2SE Adapter Engine on you PC before you deploy it.
Steps to do:
1. JAD the SAP class
2. Put a call in the SAP class
3. Compile the class
4. Put the class back in the archive
5. Create your own class
6. Create a jar file for it
7. Put the jar file in the tech_adapter directory
8. Change the run_adapter start cmd to include your jar file
It works great, the only issue is if you patch the J2SE engine you have to do step 1 to 4 again but that should it very easy to do.

i know that info im trying to find out if using an 18.5 volt universal adapter with a magsafe plug thats 85 watts will it work on a macbook
will the 18.5 volt be too much.....and the 85 watts be ok
note: this is not an apple adapter its a generic one with a magsage plug on it
please dont tell me what is recommended tell me if it will work or not

Dynamic filename in mail adapter

Hi,
how can I set the filename of a mail attachment dynamically in a receiver mail adapter (also dynamically configured)?
I had to uncheck the "keep attachment" because of our scenario.
If I check this box I get a .xml file which I can rename with the MessageTransformBean (but not dynamically?) but I get to much files in the mail.
Now I get a .dat file and want to rename it dynamically in e.g. dynamicName.txt.
Can you give me some input how to do that?
Thanks in advance
Dominic

Hi
isn't it possible to set the filename of the attachment in the message-mapping?
--->
Try writing this UDF so to get the name in mapping
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container.getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File","FileName");
conf.put(key,a); // a - parameter given to UDF that specifies filename
String ourSourceFileName = conf.get(key);
return ourSourceFileName;
Hope this helps

Putting filename in sender adapter

hi all XIs
here iam dealing with file to file.
how i can get the same file name at reciever as like sender file name.
if we put file name at source side under file acess parameters and at the same time if we put same filename at reciver side under file acess parameters then we can achieve same file name at reciver directory in reciever side server.
if this is the case then what is the use of setting adapter specific message atributes on sender,reciever side.
waiting for u r answer.
bye .
regards.
seeta ram.

Hi Seeta Ram,
In the sender file adapter ,
you select Adapter Specific Message Attributes and check Filename.
Now you can access this file name in mesasage mapping.
you need to create an extra field in your target message that should not be passed in the target file.
pass this file name in this target message field using an UDF.
and in target comm channel, enable variable substitution and declare a variable as shown in the following link.
/people/jayakrishnan.nair/blog/2005/06/20/dynamic-file-name-using-xi-30-sp12-part--i
In case you need any more help, just let me know.
you can put the follwing code in udf to access the file name.
String FileName;
    DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration)inputparam.get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
        DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File","FileName");
         FileName = conf.get(key);
        return FileName;

Problems with Filenames with Chinese Characters

I seem to have problems with filenames with 2-byte characters like Chinese, Japanese and Korean in various apps. The problems occur when i download chinese music and import into iTunes :
1. Torrent ( and all other ) files with 2-byte characters filename become junk characters in Finder after download from Safari.
2. Music files created/downloaded by uTorrent displays 2-byte characters correctly in Finder.
3. These downloaded music files when imported into iTunes becomes junk characters.
4. Let say I wish to have a list of all filenames from (2). I do a ls -R > abc.txt in Terminal. abc.txt displays the filenames correctly in vi. However they become junk characters again when view using TextEdit.
I've selected Chinese, Japanese, Korean in International setting. This is not about input method, just want to get the filenames correct in Finder and iTunes. Any advice is appreciated.

3. These downloaded music files when imported into iTunes becomes junk characters.
The ID 3 tags need to be in Unicode.

4. they become junk characters again when view using TextEdit.
TextEdit needs to be set to the correct encoding, it's not automatic.

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?
Regards,
Mike

File adapter with QoS=EOIO Is there any filesize limitation?

Dear Experts,
I'm using a File/FTP Sender adapter with Quality of Service = EOIO (Exactly Once In Order) to keep the polled order of the files.
In the processing parameters I defined a queue name and everything is working well for small (~1 MByte) files.
But if I want to transfer bigger (~25 MByte) files, the whole Java stack collapses and the system has to be restarted.
Is there any size limitation for this own defined queues?
Have you any experience with this kind of processing?
Any comments / experiences are welcome!
Best regards,
Andras

Hello,
there are several files to poll, we have to keep the alphabetical order of them.
It seems, that we have this issue only with EOIO. (EO works good)
After the system has restarted, the first file from the queue was processed, but with a n error message "Could not delete file 'filename.dat' after processing: java.lang.NullPointerException"
(the delete option is on after the transfer)
Is there any possibility to check the mentioned "QuicSized" settings?
I just wanted to know, if there is an "unofficial" size limit of these queues.
Thank you!

Sender File Adapter with file conversion

Hi guys,
Im using a Sender File adapter with file conversion. The message to be processed has a structure with fixed lengths and in your content are some values that needs to be ignored.
An example:
value1 value2 value3
I want to ignore value 2 but I cant find a parameter for that! Do I need to define dummy fields on my data type and ignore those fields during mapping? Or there is a specific parameter for that?
Thanks in advance,
Ricardo.

hi,
there always is another way:)
you can import the whole line to one field
and cut it inside the adapter module
(then you can define start and stop of the substring that you need to use)
but of course it's not standard even though it's quite easy to achieve in java

Universal adapter

I working now for a while with obi apps in combination with as source Ebs R12. I'm at the stage to use a other source. I want to ask you if my 'thinking' about the universal adapter are right.
For every source who has no adapter embedded, you can use the universal adapert container. In the DAC you won't directly connect to the source(like you do with oracle EBS as source), but use the csv files in the srcFiles map. So simpely say:
When you want to load 'human resources' in your warehouse. You have to find out wich csv files are all needed. Then, you have to get the data what's needed form the source and insert it in the csv file. In dac you can use the universal container and in this case human resource execution plan, to load the data in your warehouse.
Am i right??

Did you use such source by yourself. Or is it just what you think how it should work. I also think, that using all those csv files, as aternatice source is a little bit crappy.
Anyone else know how to work with those csv files. And are they the source to use, if you work with the universal adapters.
tnx in advanced..

File Sender Adapter with FTP protocol

Hi,
I implementet a file sender adapter with FTP protocol. There is a problem: the sender processes the files even if they're in use by another application.
I.E. If another application put files (via ftp) in the sender work directory (that is on ftp), the sender processes those files before their transfer is completed.
I don't want that this sender in a communication channel in PI 7.1, imports files in the system when they aren't completed yet.
There are some ways to block sender before it processes incompleted files (in an ftp)?
Thanks
Matteo

Hi,
File sender adapter provides a check for NFS mode
+Check this
To specify additional parameters in the adapter configuration, set the Advanced Modeindicator.
● Msecs to Wait Before Modification Check
Enter the number of milliseconds that the adapter must wait before it checks whether the files have been changed.
This parameter is not available if you have selected File Content Conversion as the Message Protocoland then made an entry under Recordsets per Message that splits an input file into several messages.
This parameter is applicable only for the File adapter. If you enter a value in this field when configuring the sender FTP adapter, it will have no effect.+
Other approach can be to apply OS level checks

Configuring OBI Apps 7.9.6.3 When Using Universal Adapter Exclusively

Hello experts,
I have been working for a few days in trying to configure a fiscal calendar with universal adapter flat files as the only data source because Great Plains is the data source and since Oracle does not support it, we use universal adapters. We have had limited success with this but in configuring OBI Apps 7.9.6.3 and doing normal configuration things such as configuring fiscal calendars and mapping GL accounts to group accounts using the Universal Adapter in DAC, there is virtually no documentation. In fact, when I Googled the universal adapter version of the group account codes file, there were 0 Google entries for it.
I am sending this new thread in the hope that someone out there has successfully configured OBI apps 7.9.6.3 using the Universal Adapter and can point me to documentation of any sort other than the normal Oracle OBI Apps Config Doc which only briefly mentions it and then takes file examples that are OOTB and unconfigured in any way.
Specifically, I need assistance in getting fiscal calendars working with the Universal Adapter. I have W_MCAL_DAY_D populated and all of the Gregorian calendar tables. However, the remaining W_MCAL* tables only have one row in each of them. I have an SR open about it but no success resolving it yet. While doing the configuration work, we tried to map GL accounts to group accounts but there is no account range in the Universal Adapter source file unlike the Oracle EBS version so I am unsure on how to configure group accounts. Oracle documentation only refers to Oracle EBS, PeopleSoft, and JDEdwards. I am unable to find anything regarding the Universal Adapter.
If anyone has done this sort of OBI apps configuration before, please respond or send me URLs for related documentation. I am completely stuck and SRs are not yet helping so I thought I would try this.
Thanks experts and looking forward to hearing from you.

Hi Krish,
You will have to create 20 Application Roles matching the Responsibility Names.
Use one of the following methods to set up application roles:
Create application roles in the policy store with the same names as existing responsibilities or groups in the source applications. Then, add the new application roles as members of Oracle BI-specific application roles groups, and the users will inherit this membership based on their own responsibilities or roles in the OLTP application.
Add new Oracle BI-specific responsibilities (Oracle EBS and Siebel CRM Applications) or roles (PeopleSoft Enterprise applications) in the source applications, making sure their names match the object security application roles in Oracle BI Applications, and assign OLTP users to these new groups. The users will then inherit the application role membership in the same way as described in the preceding method.
Application Roles in 11g are the Groups of 10g (http://blogs.oracle.com/robreynolds/entry/security_in_obiee_11g_part_2)
