Pick up a specific file with File Sender Adapter.

Hi guys,
I would like to know how I can pick a specific file in a file pool (folder)? I would like to choose this file by name, like FileA or FileB, etc.
Im asking this because I have an asynchronous file scenario (BPM) with a receiver adapter that put the File with a specific name (variable substitution) in a folder.
And I would like to do something like this:
In another asynchronous scenario (BPM), a File sender adapter picks up this specific file (using the name). The correlation is made trough an IDOC that XI receives before pick up the file, this IDOC has payload field with the name of file to be picked.
Is it possible receives the IDOC, read the field with the name of the file to be picked and choose this specific file? In a Sender File Adapter how I can do something like variable substitution like receiver adapter does.
Thanks in advance,
Ricardo.

Hi,
Is it possible receives the IDOC, read the field with the name of the file to be picked and choose this specific file? In a Sender File Adapter how I can do something like variable substitution like receiver adapter does.
No this is not possible. The only dynamic thing you can do is use wild card characters like *.
So, maybe you can pick a file like . or AA. and so on...

Hi
I can't open sql files with file type .pck. They are opened as a package. The icon is a package too. (Worked fine in 4.0)
My settings:
Thanks for any help

Thanks, but that doesn't help
To specify it more precisly: I can open such a file, but it is not opened as a sql file. The icons you see above left are the icons of the files (not of the packages).

How to ignore columns in CSV File with File Sender Adapter

Hi,
I have a CSV File that I need to load with XI. The File contains 10 columns but I only need the data from 3 columns, let's say column 1,4 and 7. Can I configure the XI File Sender Adapter in a way that it only loads the data for the required columns and ignores the rest?
Thanks in advance.
Alex

Alex,
Dont think so. Why not create Dummy fieldName for these columns you want to ignore.?

Duplicate file with FTP sender

hello everybody,
i have the "Duplicate file problem with FTP sender " with my XI 3.0 sp23.
So sometimes my file adapter load 2 times the same file.
I found this link :
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/XI/DifferentwaystokeepyourInterfacefromprocessingduplicate+files
with some interesting solutions for fix the problem.
But my question is:
Are not a standard solution or a SAP hotfix?
My chance is just implement one of solution proposed in link?
thanks in advance
Alex

Hi,
You can use any of the solution according to your requirement.
In one of my scenario i used solution 1 (module creation).
In XI3.0 i think there is no sap standard fix for this issue (but i am not sure).

Is there a way to use my branding when sending a file with Adobe Send?

Is there a way to include my logo in the message with Send files?

Hi dporterphotography,
The branding feature isn't available in Send just yet, but it is planned for a future release. In the meantime, you're welcome to send your file, with branding, using Adobe SendNow. You can log in to SendNow at https://sendnow.acrobat.com/signin.html using the same Adobe ID and password that you use for Send.

Importing text file (with file names) into Automator.. is it possible?

Hello all,
I have been working with Windows Batch files for my line of work. I have a couple of file names in a text file (a column), which I want to copy from one folder of one hdd to another folder on a different hdd. I have been trying to do this kind of work with a Mac. I already know how you copy and rename files in automator (which isn't difficult, of course) but you have to 'select' the files in the finder first (with get specified items).
But the only way i see that you can specify items is by selecting them... is there a way to import a text file with all the file names instead of selecting all the file names manually?
or is there an AppleScript alternative which I can use to import the text file (or just copy into applescript) and run before the query's of copying and renaming the files? I am kind of new to Apple programming.
The text file looks like this:
image1.jpg
image2.jpg
etc..
so there has to be a command to: 'goto' a specific folder as well.
Thanks in advance!

You can import text files, but if they are just names you will need an additional action to add the source folder path. A *Run AppleScript* action can be used, for example:
Tested workflow:
1) *Ask for Finder Items* {Type: files } -- choose the text file containing the names
2) *Combine Text Files* -- this gets the text file contents
3) *Filter Paragraphs* { return paragraphs that are not empty } -- skip blank lines
4) *Run AppleScript* -- copy and paste the following script:
<pre style="
font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;
font-size: 10px;
font-weight: normal;
margin: 0px;
padding: 5px;
border: 1px solid #000000;
width: 680; height: 340px;
color: #000000;
background-color: #FFEE80;
overflow: auto;"
title="this text can be pasted into an Automator 'Run AppleScript' action">
on run {input, parameters} -- add folder path
add the specified folder path to a list of file names
input: a list of text items (the file names)
output: a list of file paths (aliases)
set output to {}
set SkippedItems to {} -- this will be a list of skipped items (errors)
set SourceFolder to (choose folder with prompt "Choose the folder containing the file names") as text -- this is the folder containing the names
repeat with AnItem in the input -- step through each name in the input
try
set AnItem to SourceFolder & AnItem -- add the prefix
set the end of the output to (AnItem as alias) -- test
on error number ErrorNumber -- oops
set ErrorNumber to (" (" & ErrorNumber as text) & ")" -- add the specific error number
set the end of SkippedItems to (AnItem as text) & ErrorNumber
end try
end repeat
ShowSkippedAlert for SkippedItems
return the output -- pass the result(s) to the next action
end run
to ShowSkippedAlert for SkippedItems
show an alert dialog for any items skipped, with the option to cancel the workflow
parameters - SkippedItems [list]: the items skipped
returns nothing
if SkippedItems is not {} then
set {AlertText, TheCount} to {"Error with AppleScript action", count SkippedItems}
if TheCount is greater than 1 then
set theMessage to (TheCount as text) & space & " items were skipped:"
else
set theMessage to "1 " & " item was skipped:"
end if
set {TempTID, AppleScript's text item delimiters} to {AppleScript's text item delimiters, return}
set {SkippedItems, AppleScript's text item delimiters} to {SkippedItems as text, TempTID}

Dude, netiquette. Messages like "i need this now! Do it!" are really offensive and no one here is being payed to answer anyone's questions. We're here because we like to contribute to the community.
Anyway, in your case, just perform some search on how you could filter the files that are attached to the message. The sample module is just an example, you'll have to implement your own. Tips would be to query the filename of the attachments (or maybe content type) and for the ones which are not text, remove them.

I think the problem is in FCC paramters..
Could please have a look and correct me
Regards
Ram

Ram,
The problem which i can see is your key field values in your test file. Remember you should have the key field value in each new line at the same place.
For example you have given your text file as shown below...
File Given By You is :
>H1hh1hhhhhhhhh2
>*Ddd *
>Xddd1dddd2dddd3
>Xddd4dddd5dddd6
>Xddd7dddd8dddd9
>*Sss *
>SEKss2
Compair the above file with the below one..
>H1hh1hhhhhhhhh2
>*Ddd *
>Xddd1dddd2dddd3
>Xddd4dddd5dddd3
>Xddd7dddd8dddd3
> *Sss *
>SEKss2
If you notice, for details I have given key field value 3 in each line & at same place.
One more thing just use the KeyFieldName only one ( just follow the same blog which I have given, to understand how to use the KeyFieldName )
e.g.
Document Name :MT_File
Document Namespace :urn:test:FileFcctoIdoc
RecordSet name :
RecordsetStructure :HEADER1,1,HEADER2,1,DETAILS,*,TRAILER1,1,TRAILER2,1
RecordSet Structure: Ascending
RecordSet Per message : *
Key Field Name : KF

One to many xml files with file adaptor

Hi,
I have a scenario HCM-ABAPProxy--XI-File for one structure I need to generate multiple xml files with 100 records per file.
this is my input messag
MT_in
Node
     PositionIDs
        descrption
        job
        IsActive
what I was doing on the ABAP side for every node I have 100 PositionID's sub nodes. so each node should be a sperate file.
my output structure is
PositionIDs
    PositionID
      pid
      description
      job
so there should be one PositionIDs per file which contains 100 PositionID.
I've multi message mapping without BPM that did not work out just wondering if any one came across the same scenario.
thanks,
Joe

You can not create multiple files without BPM. You can pretty much perform multi mapping to achieve your split but to write it to a file, you will have to call the file adapter for each split which you can not do without using BPM. In BPM, for each split that you perform, you can use a send step in for-each loop which will give you the functionality you require.

Accesing additional files in the sender adapter

Hi,
I'd like to use this option in the sender file adapter: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwpi71/helpdata/en/44/692ab8a4b633eae10000000a1553f6/frameset.htm
--> "In the sender file adapter, you can specify additional files to be included in the XI message as attachments" ... "Additional files are transported unchanged without conversion options"
After testing I'm getting two files in the soap message, which is what I wanted. But how can I get the content of the second file (not the main one).
For example, in a custom module in the file adapter I can get the main payload as this:
public ModuleData process(ModuleContext moduleContext, ModuleData inputModuleData)
 throws ModuleException {
Message msg = (Message) inputModuleData.getPrincipalData();
I guess that to get the second file it could be something like:
inputModuleData.getSupplementalData("?");
but don't really know what to insert there as a parameter.
Basically I would need to find out a way to access the content of that second file: it could be in a custom module, it could be in a graphical or java mapping...
Thanks!
Edited by: Jorge Lopez on Mar 17, 2009 11:09 AM

Finally I could access that attachment in a Java mapping using this code:
private String getAttachment(TransformationInput in){
 InputAttachments inpAttach = in.getInputAttachments();
 Collection<String> collIDs = inpAttach.getAllContentIds(true);
 Object[] arrayObj = collIDs.toArray();
 getTrace().addInfo("Number of attachments: " + arrayObj.length);
 String idAttachment = (String) arrayObj[0];
 return new String(inpAttach.getAttachment(idAttachment).getContent());
and so getting the attachment in a string.
You also have to set on the flag "Read Attachments" in the Operation Mapping (PI 7.1, old Interface Mapping), so that the ABAP side passes the attachment to the Java runtime.
I'm not sure if it's possible to access the attachment in the sender adapter in a custom module

Reading fixed position files with File Adapter

Hi !
I'm trying to use the file adapter to read a file with data in fixed positions .
I cannot get it to work, I'm getting :
[Line=3, Col=133] Expected "${eol}" at the specified position in the native data, while trying to read the data for "element with name Hours", using "style" as "array" and "cellSeparatedBy" as "${eol}", but not found.
Ensure that "${eol}", exists at the specified position in the native data.
and don't understand what the problem is.

Sorry I didn't reply sooner.
If you are only interested in the first 133 characters then as you stated you need to put in a dummy filler at the end.
The file adapter is not as smart as you think. What is does is reads the string in a stream, so it gets its command and reads the stream until it hits it, then it gets the next command.
In your situation you said read 1 - 133 thinking it would ignore the other characters in the line. In reality what happens is that it reads the first 133 characters. Assuming that it wasn't looking for a end of line it would then read the next 133 characters. This would include the character you want to ignore, so your pattern would fail.
Good way to think about it is to apply the rules as if you are reading the file your self. In your mind you say read these characters then I want to ignore all the others in the row. You have to tell the file adapter to do the same.
Hope this explains.
cheers

How to process large input CSV file with File adapter

Hi,
could someone recommend me the right BPEL way to process the large input CSV file (4MB or more with at least 5000 rows) with File Adapter?
My idea is to receive data from file (poll the UX directory for new input file), transform it and then export to one output CSV file (input for other system).
I developed my process that consists of:
- File adapter partnerlink for read data
- Receive activity with checked box to create instance
- Transform activity
- Invoke activity for writing to output CSV.
I tried this with small input file and everything was OK, but now when I try to use the complete input file, the process doesn't start and automatically goes to OFF state in BPEL console.
Could I use the MaxTransactionSize parameter as in DB adapter, should I batch the input file or other way could help me?
Any hint from you? I've to solve this problem till this thursday.
Thanks,
Milan K.

This is a known issue. Martin Kleinman has posted several issues on the forum here, with a similar scenario using ESB. This can only be solved by completely tuning the BPEL application itself, and throwing in big hardware.
Also switching to the latest 10.1.3.3 version of the SOA Suite (assuming you didn't already) will show some improvements.

Processing an empty file with file adapter

Hi,
We have a scenario where we are merging multiple files via a BPM. One of the files that we read is a delta file, which at times can be blank/empty. The multiple receive steps in the BPM are in one fork and the end condition is set up so that all the messages are received prior to the transformation step.
When we attempt to read an empty file by activating the adapter, the adapter monitor reads that the message was processed successfully. But, no message is created in XI. Is this correct? If yes, is there any way we can create a message for an empty file w/o using a module to change the contents of the file?
Any suggestions or help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
Duke

Hi Duke,
One suggestion:
You can construct a message with some fields and use exists() function in mapping.
try this link:
