Picking files from FTP server with dynamic Filename.

Hello Experts,
I want to pick some files from a FTP server in a File to Idoc scenario. The files in the Ftp Server are created with the filenames as timestamp of the file when it was created. How do I pick up these files?
Thanks,
Merrilly

Hi,
The above masking concept (*.txt, . etc) will be applicable for the files with NFS only,
See the below link to apply it
/people/mickael.huchet/blog/2006/09/18/xipi-how-to-exclude-files-in-a-sender-file-adapter
The below link will help you to build up the adapter module to read the dynamic file name

This could be applicable for FTP ...
Thanks

Files from FTP server to Application server

Hi All,
I am new to SDN and SAP XI, can anyone tell me whether its possible to move the files (different strcuture files i.e. some are master data files and some are transaction data file) from FTP server to Application server with one interface. Actually the process is already established at clientsite for placing master data files like product, plant etc from FTP server to App server through FTP adapter. Now my requirement is to move transaction data file with completely different structure as master data to App server. If we place these trasaction data file in same folder/directory as master data files does SAP XI pick this file also. If not what are the steps I need to follow to achieve this. I know that if we create new configuration it will work but I question is does master data interface picks this transaction data file also.
Right now our process for master data files is SAP XI picks the files and deletes the file from FTP server folder. The master data file names are plant_attr.csv, product_attr.csv etc and transcation data file name is salestrasactiondata.csv. I need to move these files to application server on daily bases.
I appreciate your help .
Regards
Bob.

> I am new to SDN and SAP XI, can anyone tell me whether its possible to move the files (different strcuture files i.e. some are master data files and some are transaction data file) from FTP server to Application server with one interface.
Hello Bob,
Yes it is possible.
There can be two ways of doing it.
1. N:1 mapping, BPM will require for this.
N:1 Mapping refer this blog
IDOCs (Multiple Types) Collection in BPM
BpmPatterns CollectMerge
part1 BPM with Patterns explained Part-1
part2 BPM with Patterns explained Part-2
Second option
Create 3 scanarios in integration directory and correspondingly in integration repositoy create different data types, message types, mappings & interface mappings and then in each of scenario us different message interface and interface mapping.
> I know that if we create new configuration it will work but I question is does master data interface picks this transaction data file also.
>
If you are using N:1 scenario then use *.csv in your sender adapter under file name parameter and then all the files will be picked up from same directory.
If you are using second option (3 different scenarios) then also you can pick the different files from same directory. You will be having 3 sender adapters in this case, So, one for picking master data, and another for product data and the last one for transaction data.
So, in case of master data use "plant_*.csv" as a file name and directory name.
In case of product data, use "product_*.csv " as a file name and source directory will remain same.
similarly do it for transaction data.
So by this way all 3 sender adapters will perform their job to pick the different files from same source directory.

Upload files from FTP server

Hi Friends,
We are loading some files from FTP server into the BW (Datasource)
In the infopackage we have given the setting as 'Load from application server' and have given the file path as it is in application server. No routine has been created.
Files are successfully loading from FTP server to the BW datasource.
My question is:
In the infopackage we have only maintained that it should be loaded from application server and the file path.
But how the system(infopackage) gets to know that from which server(FTP) it should pick. Is there any table to maintain these entries. i.e when infopackage is scheduled it only pings the required server and picks the file with the help of given file path.But how does it know which server it should ping.
Pls help.
Thanks & Regards,
Niku

Hello Niku,
It seems in your case you have only one FTP, and the system is pointing by default to that FTP and picking the required files fro your Info Package.
Normally a Standard ABAP Program RSFTP002 is used to communicate to the FTP Server with the help of RFC . In the Same program you can maintain the credentials ( USerName and password) along with the Source and Destination related properties .
Back to your query , you can check the same in above program ( RSFTP002 ) through SE38 and cross verify your FTP .
Hope this helps !

How to read .xls file from FTP server t oInternal table

Hi
am using the FTP_SERVER_TO_R3 to read xls file from FTP server to internal table
but the data i get in LT_TEXT is special characters.
CALL FUNCTION 'FTP_SERVER_TO_R3'
EXPORTING
handle = hdl
fname = f_name "ProdDataFromCRM.xls.

EXCEPTIONS
TCPIP_ERROR = 1
COMMAND_ERROR = 2
DATA_ERROR = 3
OTHERS = 4
can any one help me out to get the exact data..
Really appreciate your quick response..
Thank You

Hi, if you really retrieve an excel file, you can not see the data in ABAP. You may see them in Excel. For this you may use
CALL METHOD document->open_document_from_table
of the interface i_oi_document_proxy for OLE objects. You can access the data with reference to the interface i_oi_spreadsheet.
Please check [Desktop Office Integration (BC-CI)|http://help.sap.com/printdocu/core/Print46c/en/data/pdf/BCCIOFFI/BCCIOFFI.pdf] for details.
But, who knows, perhaps you want "And Now For Something Completely Different".

[HELP] Download file from FTP server

hi,
I want to write a java program that can download and upload files from ftp server. Currently I only manage to upload a file to ftp server but i cant download file from ftp server. Here is the source code that only allow user to upload file. Anyone can give me some guidelines so that my program can download and also upload file? thx.
import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;
public class FTPUpload {
private static final int CTRLPORT = 21;
private static Socket ctrlSocket;
private static PrintWriter ctrlOutput;
private static BufferedReader ctrlInput;
private static byte[] localHostAddress;
public final static String DIR = "C:\\zip\\";
public static void main(String[] args) {
try {
String host = "192.168.1.1";
String loginName = "testuser";
String password = "password";
String dirName = "/home/testuser";
String fileName = "hello.zip";
ctrlSocket = new Socket(host, CTRLPORT);
localHostAddress = ctrlSocket.getLocalAddress().getAddress();
ctrlOutput = new PrintWriter(ctrlSocket.getOutputStream());
ctrlInput = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(ctrlSocket.getInputStream()));
ctrlOutput.println("USER " + loginName);
ctrlOutput.flush();
ctrlOutput.println("PASS " + password);
ctrlOutput.flush();
ctrlOutput.println("CWD " + dirName);
ctrlOutput.flush();
ctrlOutput.println("TYPE I");
ctrlOutput.flush();
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(DIR + fileName);
Socket dataSocket = dataConnection("STOR " + fileName);
OutputStream outstr = dataSocket.getOutputStream();
int n;
byte[] buff = new byte[1024];
while ((n = fis.read(buff)) > 0) {
outstr.write(buff,0,n);
dataSocket.close();
fis.close();
ctrlOutput.close();
ctrlInput.close();
ctrlSocket.close();
}catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
private static Socket dataConnection(String ctrlcmd)
throws IOException,UnknownHostException {
String cmd = "PORT ";
ServerSocket serverDataSocket = new ServerSocket(0,1);
for (int i=0;i<4;i++) {
cmd = cmd + (localHostAddress[i] & 0xff) + ",";
cmd = cmd + (((serverDataSocket.getLocalPort())/256) & 0xff)
+ ","
+ (serverDataSocket.getLocalPort() & 0xff);
ctrlOutput.println(cmd);
ctrlOutput.flush();
ctrlOutput.println(ctrlcmd);
ctrlOutput.flush();
Socket dataSocket = serverDataSocket.accept();
serverDataSocket.close();
return dataSocket;
}

Or just use a java.net.URL("ftp://...) ..., get its input stream, and away you go ...

How to get file from FTP Server using File Control

Hi,
Any one did getting file from FTP Server?
Please let me know any one help me.
I would need to get file from FTP Server.
Thanks,
Madhu

Yes I have done that. But In FTP Server I cannt read file, because no previliges. Only I need to copy file from FTP Server to local server then only I can read that file.
I tried all options using FileConrol(getFiles(),read()).
getFiles() - It wont copy the file, it give information about file.
read() - I dont have previliges to read the file.
Please tell me any other procedure would be there for getting file from FTPServer.
