Picking up file in file adapter

hi,
In my IDOC to File scenario i have many files in that to i haveto pick up the file which name starts with 'A' only..
what is the configuration i have to do..
thanks & regards
guna

If it is IDoc to File then you will be receiving file.. why do you want to pick it
If you want to pick such files using sender file adapter, then in File Name Schema in file adapter specify
A*.xml

Sender file adapter to pick up only 2 files at a time

Hi ,
I need to configure my sender file adapter in a way so that it picks up only 2 files at a time even though at FTP more files are placed.
Mudit Mehra

Hi,
As said above there is no such option to pick only 2 files at a time, however if possible you can create files in the sender/source directory in a manner that only two files are created at a time.
Thanks!

File by File picking with Standard File Adapter with NFS Protocal !!

Hi Folks,
How to pick file by file with little gap in a file directory by Standard File Adapter. One interface, one communication channle.
Ex: XML_XXXXX_XXXX1.xml
      XML_XXXXX_XXXX2.xml
      XML_XXXXX_XXXX3.xml
First I need to pick one file XM_XXXXX_XXXX1.xml then wait for 2 minutes and pick another one in ascending order.
I have tried with Advance option "File size" and "Msec to wait before modification check" with 1200000 MS, but no use.
Please folks any one can help in this, which is very big help?
Kind Regards
Many Thanks in advance

Hi
My BPM steps are as follows:
1. Receive step -- Asynch
2. Transformation -- split the message
3. Switch step -- Condition "ID != ' ' from transform message'
4. In side Switch Branch 1 -- Receiver determination - Receive acknowledgment - Application
5. Send 1 -- with Application Transport, Queue Name - 'XXX'
      This XXX queue I have configured on ID with EOIO Service
6. block step - Send multiple messages to same receiver on top
    I have send 2 different message to one receiver, the first message is only one , second message are multiple. I am splitting    with transformation step
7. Sender -2 no acknowledgement active
8. stop
Can you please tell me where I am gonna wrong!!
I will apprecite for your efforts

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,
<i>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.</i>
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...

File not getting picked up by the FTP Adapter.............URGENT

Hi Experts,
I have created simple File to File scenario to archive a xml file of size 640 MB with in a FTP server.
I monitored the channel for 2 hrs, it started but didn't picked the source file.
Is it because of the huge file size?
Please give your valuable suggestion, to resolve the issue.
Thanks in advance.
MK

The scenario was working fine before with the small files.
Error details in the communication channel monitoring( for the sender adapter):
error      12/03/08 04:54:12 <message id> Retry interval started. Length: 3660.0 seconds
            12/03/08 04:33:40   Processing started

             12/03/08 04:20:22   Processing finished successfully
              12/03/08 04:20:03   Processing started
And i have checked RWB and SXMB_MONI, it does not show any message.
Please suggest further to resolve the problem.
Thank you.

Sender File(FTP protocol) Adapter not able to pick multiple files(eg *.xml)

Dear Experts,
I have SAP PI 7.0 installed on HP-UX. I installed Guild FTP on my Windows Vista machine.Configured File to File scenario. Sender File adapter(FTP Transport Protocol)is able to process the 'input.xml' file placed in FTP INBOX folder.
I want to process all/multiple XML files. For this I have changed File Access Parameters in Sender Communication channel as:
Source Directory - /INBOX
File Name - *.xml
Immediately Sender Communication status went into red with error log messages :
Error occurred while connecting to the FTP server "172.XX.XX.XX:21": java.lang.NullPointerException
Please let me know what is the issue. Thanks in Advance.

Hi
It should work with *.xml
Check with the connectivity as well.
If this is still unable to process files then check with the FTP server compatibility.
J2EE File adapter is based on RFC 959 and if GUILD FTP is non compatible to RFC format then exclusion mask may not work.
Thanks
Gaurav

How to go for Advance selction for source file in J2SE adapter

Hi all,
I am doing a file to file scenario using J2SE adapter.I have to pick file from two different directory we can easily achieve it in J2EE adapter using advance selection of source file but how to proceed in case of J2SE plain adapter.Please guide me with your knowledge.
Regards,
saurabh

This is not possible. You need different adapters, but you can use the same interface and namespace, so there should be no issue.

Reading severl files in file adapter sender

Hi all,
I need to read several files and perform checks on there attributes,
like name and date of creation.
and only if the checks are o.k i need to transfer them to, otherwise i need to send an email reporting the error.
I saw in the sender file adapter an option of reading several files, how does it work, how can i perform the checks.
I thing that i can also perform this task using BPM, but from whet I understand it can be problematic when reading big files.
Thanks,
Naama

>>NFS
You are going to pick the files of same types or different types?
If it is of same type: Use below informtion.
file.sourceFileName=<filename>
Specify the name of the file that you want to process.
The name can contain a placeholder (*) at any point, so as to be able to select a list of files for processing.
The following are valid examples for filename:
myFile.txt
my*.txt
*.txt

Names that comprise more than two parts are also permitted.
If the files are of different types the use this approach:

Sending multiple files using file adapter

The scenario I am implementing requires multiple files of different names to be picked up by my adapter. I dont want to create different file adapters for each file. I tried using the "Additonal Files" option in the sender file adapter in my configuration, but am not able to do the same. Any idea as to how the configuration for multiple files for same adapter isto be done?

Hi bhavesh
Fundamental of adapter configuration is you have to give valid xml structure to XI, so you will define your configuration according to your requirement.
for .xml you have file as a message protocol while for .csv you have file content conversion as a message protocol.
So you have to define adpater configuration for sender side for one type of structure.
So you need a different communication channel for different extentions.
for diffrent strcutures,having same extention, you can execute this.
Please make me clear that what is your scenario?
why you need to pick all files under a directory with a same communication channel?

Additional file in File adapter

Hi,
I have two File scenario inbound and outbound.
Outbound:
In this scenario we are sending a File using File Adapter.Our requirement is we have to count number of data records and then write the number of records in other file.We won't be writing number of total records in same data file but other file which will have only value for total number of records and the extension of this file will be different.
Inbound:
In Inbound we have two file one with data and other with total number of records in first file.We need to pick both files and then validate in sap that total number of records from first file is equal to value in the second file.
Can we achieve this without using BPM?If yes please let me know all steps required.
If we have to use BPM then how much file size can BPM handle.Any one has some experience using BPM for large files.
Thanks in advance.
Rekha.

Hi Rekha,
you can realize the outbound scenario without BPM with a message split : <a href="/people/jin.shin/blog/2006/02/07/multi-mapping-without-bpm--yes-it146s-possible without BPM - Yes, its possible!</a>
The inbound scenario can be done with a <a href="/people/alessandro.guarneri/blog/2006/03/27/sap-xi-lookup-api-the-killer.
BPM should be able to handle large files. It is only slow. So if you have to much of large files it can be a problem. The bottle neck for large files is assumedly the mapping. Depending on mapping content, hardware and kind of mapping in this sequence files of 40 - 200 MB should be mappable (appreciated).

Reading .jpeg files in FILE or FTP adapter

Hii
I have to send .jpeg files at regular intervals using BPEL.
I read about Base64 data type. I tried to create File Adapter and FTP adapter. I specified the folder location and *.jpeg as file pattern. I have made schema to opaque.
But neither File or FTP adatper are picking up the file from specified directory. As per my plan, once I will get Opaque schema in BPEL, I will use Base64 encoding to get the data as string and to pass it to the endpoints.
Any idea what I need to do in order to read .jpeg files.
Any help is highly appreciated.

Thanks for the help. Actually, I am following the similar process as given in "Tutorial 11 : File DB Integrations – Handling of opaque data types".
I'm using SOA Suite 10.1.3.3; the .jpeg file is being picked up by the File Adapter, but failing to create BPEL instance with the following log details :
+"<2009-03-06 17:02:13,053> <ERROR> <default.collaxa.cube> <BaseCubeSessionBean::logError> Error while invoking bean "cube delivery": [com.collaxa.cube.engine.delivery.CorrelationResolutionException: Correlation definition not registered.+
+The correlation set definition for operation "ReadJPEGOp", process "SyncBase64BPELProcess", has not been registered with the process domain.+

+Correlation definition not registered.+
+The correlation set definition for operation "ReadJPEGOp", process "SyncBase64BPELProcess", has not been registered with the process domain.+
+Please try to redeploy your process to the process domain."+
I have deployed the process multiple times on two different SOA Suite Server 10133, but getting the similar logs. The file is being picked up but not generating BPEL instance.
Any idea ???

FTP Adapter polling lowercase or uppercase files using single adapter

Hello All,
I was wondering if we can use a single FTP Adapter to poll Lowercase or Uppercase files. For example either abc*.txt or ABC*.txt.
Does the FTP adapter by default support this option, because its not working in my Case and if its supported does it depend on the FTP server settings/security.
Help is much appreciated.
Thanks
Kris

How does it decide which files to pickup ? It will pick up files with modification dates more recent than the last processed file.
sometimes it picks up all old files from FTP directoryIf it is picking up the same files, probably it is not being able to calculate the modification dates.
That can be a configuration problem, take a look at this:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17904_01/integration.1111/e10231/adptr_file.htm#BABECEGD
Note: We are not deleting already read files from the folderProbably, not a good thing to do. May you can archive them instead.

Problem archiving file using FTP adapter

Hi,
I am polling some files from another server using FTP adapter in SOA 11g. Even though I have checked the option to archive the files, the files get archived successfully on the server where the SOA process is running, but I am unable to archive the files on the server from which I am reading the file
I am not sure whether this is the default behaviour or is there any way to archive files on the same server from which I pick or read the file.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Namrata

Hi Neeraj,
Thanks, the archiving in the remoteLocation worked by doing what you told me...
I tried archiving to the local machine which is not working for me ... i gave both the properties as below...
<property name="UseRemoteArchive" value="false"/>
<property name="PhysicalArchiveDirectory" value="C:\Users\naresh\Desktop\ftp"/>
Thanks,
Naresh

Picking the abc.B file if abc.A file is present in source location.

Hi All,
I need to pick a file using SFTP adapter.
In the source location two files abc.A and abc.B are placed.
abc.A is placed only after abc.B is fully processed and complete.
I need to pick and process the file abc.B ,only after finding abc.A in source location.
only abc.B should be picked ,as abc.A file is just a indicator that abc.B is fully loaded and ready to be processed.
How this can be done in SFTP adapter?Please help.
Thanks,
Akkasali.

Best way to handle this is write some Unix Sxripting program at OS level copy the file B wheneve A file present in Folder,and create one more folder on FTP to store only B file,and connect to new folder using SFTP adapter .
it will avoide burden on implementing logic in PI side.it is bit simple too,as per my exp.
no standard feature available to acieve this type of requirement i think .

Raj

No pick and send in File to file scenario

Dear XI Guru's,
Am a newbee in XI world i have done steps related to XI file to file scenario in my XI system. I have taken help from the following blog.
Step by Step Guide: XML File 2 XML File Scenario: Part I
Step by Step Guide: XML File 2 XML File Scenario: Part II
But my file is not getting picked from the sender folder as my receiver folder is empty always...
Can we put an XMl file instead of DAT file
Please help. where am i going wrong..........

Hi,
Did you configure the FTP server using this Blog:
Along came a File Adapter, Mr. 'FTP' and Rest of the Gang
if so check whether you have checked all the parameters for the path which you created.
also ensure that as mentioned the blog at the end
"Even though in your local machine you have the folder name as ftproot and the path say C:ftproot, in your file adapter you will refer the same as / . So if you have created subfolders like input and output, in the adapter configuration it would be refered to as /input or /output and not C:ftprootinput or C:ftprootoutput. "
IP address will be the IP address where you have configured the FTP server and not like C:/ftproot/Sender....... as you mentioned

Nithiyanandam
