PI 7.1 FTP(S) - adapter with implicit connection type?

Hi,
We have encountered some issues involving FTP connection with SSL/TLS because the standard FTP - adapter in SAP PI 7.1 doesn't support the connection type "implicit". Many of our customers use FTP servers with connection type implicit and are somewhat reluctant or unable to configure the server to accept explicit connection type.
Now, I wonder if there is any patch or update which makes the FTP adapter to communicate with connection type "implicit"?
Or if you have another workaround for us to utilize?

please refer this blog for the FTPs connection.

RV042 v4.2.2.08 problem connecting to ISP with WAN Connection Type PPTP

Hi,
I have an issue with an RV042V3. It does not connect to my ISP with PPTP connection type and username 'comsulting/[email protected]' , pwd 6 digit alphanumeric.
Using the RVS4000 or the old RV082V2 with firmware 2.0.2.01-tm, the WAN PPTP connection works fine.
Unfortunately, the RV042 does not output any logging information about the PPTP dialin attempts to the ISP (if there are any).
Did anybody face the same issues?
Thanks,
Richard

Hi Jonathan,
thanks for the reply. I fear there is a misunderstanding.
I am not having troubles with the PPTP server functions of the RV042 but with the client functions.
My ISP services use PPTP to dialin to the internet instead of e.g. PPPoE.
This can be chosen in the WAN connection settings but does not seem to work!
Regards,
Richard

How to configure FTP/VAN Adapter for SFTP connection?

Hi,
I am new to the use of Seeburger's FTP/VAN adapter. I read SDN threads where the FTP/VAN adapter can be used for SFTP connections. Could anyone assist me in the steps to configure the communication channels for SFTP connections?
Scenarios:
1. R/3 -> XI -> File (SFTP server)
2. File (SFTP server) -> XI -> IDoc
There is no VAN connection involved. I am just trying to utilize the adapters my PI system currently have for my interface requirement.
Is the configuration as simple as configuring the communication channel or there are scripts involved? If there are scripting involved, is there a benefit to use scripting in the FTP/VAN adapter, rather than XI's own File adapter?
Please assist. Thank you.

Hi Andrew,
Standard PI Adapter will not support to conenct SFTP server, we have to use third party adapters?? do you have any third party adapters??
many compniaes providing SFTP adapters and SAP PI Supports to.
if you dont have third party adapter we do have other alternative , refer below blog

Dead connections with Implicit Connection

Hello,
With OracleConnectionCacheImpl I had a pool that worked fine except when the pooled connections lose their connection to the database (ie database goes down for weekly maintenance). However, when the db came back up the connections were still "INACTIVE" but dead meaning when you tried to access the pool you'll get "Cannot connect to Oracle" errors.
Can anybody tell me if this behaviour changes with the new Implicit Connection, and if itÂ´s the case, provide references?
Thanks in advance,
Robert

Hello Tugdual,
thanks for your time, the versions are :
OC4J : not standalones but as a part of OAS 10g (9.0.4.1)
JDBC Driver : included in OAS currently classes12.zip , but I suppose I also can use ojdbc14.jar.
JDK : 1.4.2_02
With this versions does the Implicit Connection provide dead connection detection in case of database down ?

Robert

Compatibility of lightning to 30-pins adapter with Camera Connection

Hello,
I had an iPad 2 with the 30-pin connection and used previous camera connection kit, which I used to download photos to my iPad. This kit has both an USB adapter and a SD card reader.
Recently I upgraded to an iPad Air2 with lightning connector, and I was wondering if I buy the lightning to 30-pin adapter to use the camera connection kit I already own, or I should buy the new lightning to USB camera or SD reader adapters?
Anyone is using correctly that combination (lightning to 30-pin adapter + 30-pin camera connection kit)?
thanks for your help.
Rafael Martinez

The Lightning to 30 pin adapter and Camera Connection Kit combo works for me.

Error when refreshing WEBI report with Universe Connection Type "SSO"

Hi Experts:
We are trying to refresh the Webi report in Infoview with Universe Connection set as "Use Single Sign On when refreshing the report at view time", so that we can leverage SAP OLAP authorization variable from Bex Query which the Universe is built on.
However got the error of "incomplete logon data" after all the configurations done following below blogs:
SNC Part 1

SNC Part 2
/people/ingo.hilgefort/blog/2009/07/03/businessobjects-enterprise-and-client-side-snc-part-2-of-2
We already have Win AD SSO to SAP setup, and in BO CMC, Win AD user is mapped to SAP user ID.
The SNC settings are:
- AD Account: service.test.bobj (all lower-letters)
- 32-bit gsslib on the BO server, and 64 bit on the BW server side.
- SNC0: p:service.test.bobj at DOMAIN

In CMC, the role can be imported if "RFC activated" option unchecked in SNC0.
I found a few threads on the same topic, but they are all not answered:
SNC Client side configuration error
SNC Configuration Error: Incomplete logon Data
Can you please provide details of the solution if you have impleted a same scenario successsfully, or any thoughts to help the investigation?
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Jonathan

Hi Ingo,
Sorry for taking so long to reply, we are trying to set up server side trust and enable SSO; but we still couldn't success.
What we did is:
1. We followed installation guide chapter 6, generate certificate and PSE, etc. All looks good.
2. Then we still have the "incomplete logon data" error when refreshing webi report after logon using Windows AD user ID.
3. Then we trace the PFC connection, the log is as below. We checked several BO notes, e.g. 1500150, 1461247.. The part bothers us is that we even don't have URI displayed in the log when system trying to use SNC, and we couldn't get more info on this which make us very difficult to diagnosis.
Can you please help? Thanks a lot!

FTP Sender Adapter with EOIO for Large files

Hi Experts,
I am Using XI 3.0 version,
My scenario is File->XI->FIle, I need to pick the files from FTP Server , there are around 50 files in it each of 10 MB Size.
So i have to pick the files from FTP folder in the same order as they put into folder , i,e.., FIFO.
So in Sender FTP Comm channel , i am Specifying
Qos = EOIO
queue name = ACCOUNT
whether the files will be picked in FIFO into the queue XBTO_ACCOUNT?
So my question is,
what is the procedure to specify the parameters so that it will process in FIFO?
What would be the BEST PRACTICE to acheive it for better performance point of view.
Thanks
Sai.

Hi spantaleoni ,
I want to process the files using FTP protocol which should be in FIFO ,
ie.., Files placed first in a folder should be picked up first and remaining one next and so on.
So if i use FTP ,
Then to process the files in sequence i.e, FIFO
the processing parameters
Qos= EOIO
Queue name = ACCOUNT
would process the files in FIFO.
and to process large files (10MB size) what would be the best Polling interval secs.
Thanks,
Sai

FTP transfer failed with message 'connection to the server failed'

Hello,
I downloaded the CCE client response gallery from The Turning Gate but every time a create a new web gallery and try to upload i get the above message. I've checked my settings several times and they are correct. I've ebb follows an online tutorial on how to upload a web gallery and my settings are correct, so if anyone can help I would be very grateful?

Yes I've tried different galleries
So, the problem is NOT unique to the specific server you are trying to connect to? In other words, you have tried different servers, with different credentials, and can't connect to any of them? Is that correct?
Can Lr connect to the internet in the map module?
In other words, unless somebody comes along who has the answer, or re-installing helps.., it seems worthwhile to isolate the problem, is it:
* Lightroom/plugins can't connect to the internet?
* FTP is broken?
* FTP to a specific server is broken?
Or did I misunderstand, and you've only tried FTP to one server? - if so, it could be that there was some change at the server end, like it now requires a different port or something..
If you want to try another server, you can get a free account at Flickr, for example, and try to upload via FTP..

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!

Thank you,

Srini,
Thank you for the reposne. THe Q.26 is as follows.
Q: I have configured a File Adapter channel to connect to an FTP server, but receive one of the following error messages in the adapter monitor:
Error connecting to ftp server '<hostname>': SocketException: Connection reset
Error connecting to ftp server '<hostname>': SocketException: Connection refused
Error connecting to ftp server '<hostname>': ConnectException: Connection timed out
A: This problem is either caused by incorrect firewall / packet filter settings or an incorrect configuration of the FTP server. Also make sure that you have correctly specified the host name / IP address and port of the FTP server.
Changing the connection type from 'active' to 'passive' (or vice versa) might additionally help to work around the incorrect firewall configuration.
I was successful in transmitting file via ftp from XI box without any issues. If there are fire wall issues,command line ftp shall fail. I also verified that the file size is good after transmission. I have tried with both active and passive mode without any success.
By the way I have about 6 other ftp communication channels configured and working correctly from the XI box. Please let me know if you want me know.
Thank you,
Balaji

Any network adapters with usb connection for mac?

Hi!
Sorry if this is posted in the wrong forum/section. But I need a better network adapter than what comes with my macbook. I need an adapter with usb connection. Found a lot of them, but only for windows Any software that can take a windows driver and "merge" it to the airport software on the mac os x?

L2L VPN connection-type with multiple peers in both sides

Hi tech guys. We have a problem with the connection-type (aka vpn initiator) due to we have two peers (two isp) in both sides of the vpn tunnel...
We need to find a way to can get a one-way initiator vpn. That's easy with only one side with dual isp, dual isp side is answer-only and the single isp side is originate-only, but it become a problem when the single isp side upgrades to dual isp.
It's possible to add a second crypto map setting for the same traffic, the same encryption, but different policy and peer and also as ANSWER-ONLY?
eg.
Cryto map for the first peer...
crypto map outside_map 20 match address outside_20_cryptomap (Same traffic)
crypto map outside_map 20 set connection-type answer-only
crypto map outside_map 20 set peer xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (Primary ISP for the remote side)
crypto map outside_map 20 set transform-set ESP-3DES-SHA
Cryto map for the second peer...
crypto map outside_map 25 match address outside_20_cryptomap (Same traffic)
crypto map outside_map 25 set connection-type answer-only
crypto map outside_map 25 set peer xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (Second ISP for the remote side)
crypto map outside_map 25 set transform-set ESP-3DES-SHA
Please help to see if it is possible, thanks.

Crypto map with different Ids is the way to create multiple crypto maps. This is a working configuration

Problems with Seeburger FTP Receiver adapter

Hello,
I am working on a scenario sending ORDERS05 Idocs to EDI vendors.
For this i have configured Seeburger Receiver FTP adapter with 2 modules to convert XML-EDI format. Since this is the test, I have pointed Seeburger to local FTP server with following settings
Hostname <Hostname of our FTP server>
Port <Port # of our FTP server>
Host Path/VAN partner id <some local directory of FTP server>
Payload mode: Maindocument.
At runtime i received following exception
Message could not be forwarded to the JCA adapter. Reason: Fatal exception: javax.resource.ResourceException: >> Description: com.seeburger.jftp.app.exception.FtpExceptionSoftProcessingError: Unexpected reply: 500 'SITE system 1': command not understood>> Details: com.seeburger.jftp.app.exception.FtpExceptionRethrowError: Error in session: {type:FTPConnectionId}{binding:82ea8d3089dc3e898ae2e608d9d8487d}{channel:a52d1aaa8dd63ff59c2f590e78586a77}{toparty:TestEDIParty} CAUSED BY: com.seeburger.jftp.app.exception.FtpExceptionOpenConnectionError: Error while connection to remote host CAUSED BY: com.seeburger.jftp.app.exception.FtpExceptionRethrowError: Error while executing command QUOTE site system 1 CAUSED BY: com.seeburger.jftp.app.exception.FtpExceptionSoftProcessingError: Unexpected reply: 500 'SITE system 1': command not understood>>SendingStatus: NOT_TRANSMITTED>>FaultCategory: COMMUNICATION_ERROR>>Retryable: true>>Fatal: true
Few questions related to this
1] can we use Seeburger adapter to generate EDI files on local FTP server
2] If not Seeburger can we use normal File adapter to do the same. I tried the same by configuring BIC module in File adapter so that it would convert XML to EDI format and was hoping file to be generated on FTP server. It generated one line XML file with following text "<info>Converted message locates in a attachment</info>". Any idea how to retreive attachments in File receiver adapter (as far as i know no attachments are supported in File receiver adapter).
Any idea how to generate EDI files with Seeburger FTP on test server?
Thanks in advance.

Rajeev

Hi Rajeev,
> 1] can we use Seeburger adapter to generate EDI files on local FTP server
Yes we can use.
> Any idea how to generate EDI files with Seeburger FTP on test server?
It is like a normal process, how to generate the EDI files in normal means without FTP. Check this link

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
