I am unable to place to file in the FTP Server and getting the error message as below.
Message processing failed. Cause: com.sap.engine.interfaces.messaging.api.exception.MessagingException: An error occurred while connecting to the FTP server 'xx.xx.xxx.xxx:21'. The FTP server returned the following error message: 'com.sap.aii.adapter.file.ftp.FTPEx: 501 File identifier not valid in MKD subcommand.'. For details, contact your FTP server vendor

XML File Creation Problem in FTP Server

Hi.. Experts
My Internal Table is as follows
Types: Begin of ty_xmlfile,
         xmlline(60000)        type C,
       End of ty_xmlfile.
Data: it_xmlfile type standard table of ty_xmlfile,
        wa_xmlfile type ty_xmlfile.
When I download the file to my desktop using GUI_DOWNLOAD. It works fine
CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'

Hello all,
I have an same issue like the following thread. After extract CSV file successfully to the directory, but unable to find the file. Any thought?
Automate a BI report to flat file on to a FTP server.
Regards!

Need to analyze the business purpose ,however heres my take on it..
You can utilize 3 options to export query result on to the SAP directories as below and map that path to your FTP server.
1. Transaction RSCRM_BAPI (still valid in nw2004s)
2. Transaction RSANWB (analytical Process designer)
3. Information Broadcasting - KM folder has to be mapped as a file system location.
Hope it Helps

Change the permission while placing the file

Hi Experts,
I have a production issue :
I am placing the .txt file into a SFTP server location from a SFTP Location[NO Transformation in the file]. (Sender and receiver channels are SFTP)
I am using user- user1(for example) which have the read write access to the particular folder, hence when it places the file it places with 664 permission .(This permission gives only user1 as read/write access , but other user have read only access).
The requirement :
The user2 want to deletes the file from the particular folder location , they want to know by any means can PI change the permission while placing the file into that location so that user2 can also have read/write access.
Can you provide the opinion whether it can be done using SFTP receiver channel or any other option to change the permission of the file.

As far as i know the permissions are related to the folder and the User not for files
While creating the access, a particular user authorizations related particular folder, not related to files.
So this should be done some thing like by giving the read/write access to user2 as well
Regards

Placing the file in UTF-8 format in Target Directory

Hi Experts,
Can any one please tell me how to place a file in Target Directory by PI in UTF-8 format.
It is a file to file PassThrough (no IR part) scenario and in receiver File Adapter I have used File Encoding as UTF-8

Are there any modules by which the files are converted to UTF-8 format.
Can anyone please help me out.

CREATE CONTROLFILE
Caution:
Oracle recommends that you perform a full backup of all files in the database before using this statement. For more information, see Oracle9i User-Managed Backup and Recovery Guide.
Purpose
Use the CREATE CONTROLFILE statement to re-create a control file in one of the following cases:
All copies of your existing control files have been lost through media failure.
You want to change the name of the database.
You want to change the maximum number of redo log file groups, redo log file members, archived redo log files, datafiles, or instances that can concurrently have the database mounted and open.
Note:
If it is necessary to use the CREATE CONTROLFILE statement, do not include in the DATAFILE clause any datafiles in temporary or read-only tablespaces. You can add these types of files to the database later.
An alternative to the CREATE CONTROLFILE statement is ALTER DATABASE BACKUP CONTROLFILE TO TRACE, which generates a SQL script in the trace file to re-create the controlfile. If your database contains any read-only or temporary tablespaces, that SQL script will also contain all the necessary SQL statements to add those files back into the database.

Transfer file to an external FTP SERVER

HI Gentelemen!!,
I'm trying to open an external FTP connection, sending a file from the MiniSAP.
Which is the appropiate RFC connection that I have to use??
Anybody know how to set RFC connection to access an external FTP server.
This are the MF that I use:
CALL FUNCTION 'SCRAMBLE_STRING'
To encrypt password
CALL FUNCTION 'FTP_CONNECT'
here i have an import value for RFC DESTINATION
return handle - I use it to close the connection
CALL FUNCTION 'FTP_COPY'
CALL FUNCTION 'FTP_DISCONNECT'
Use HANDLE numbre to close the connection
Thanks for your help.
POLAK.-

I am not sure minisap has sapftp and sapftpa executable.
Anyway the two RFC destination used to do FTP are SAPFTPA and SAPFTP. This are 2 TCP/IP RFC destination (Type T) that launch either the program sapftp or sapftpa on the application server.
If these rfc destination are not setup in transaction SM59 you can try to define them but it might not work on minisap.

Export Table to flat file and upload to FTP server for external vendor

I have done some extensive searches on the forums and I think I have an idea but really need some help. Basically have a table that needs to be exported to a flat file and uploaded to a FTP server so that our vendor can get the data Monday-Saturday and automated by sysdate. This data is used to produce daily letters that go out to customers.
After doing some searching I came across the UTL_FILE package and reading more into this right now but I am not sure if it is what I should be using to create the file.
I am using TOAD right now and can see how to do it manually however really need the file to create itself and send automatically at 6 am Monday - Saturday with the date at the end of the file name making it a unique file for each day.
Thanks in advance for all of your help.

As Justin and others have mentioned I wrote [XUTL_FTP|http://www.chrispoole.co.uk/apps/xutlftp.htm] so you wont find it in the Oracle documentation. It's pure PL/SQL and uses UTL_TCP and implements an integrated PL/SQL FTP client / API. One of it's many overloaded procedures FTP's the contents of a refcursor straight to a FTP server of your choice, meaning no intervening file is required. Since it is pure PL/SQL, it is trivial to schedule using DBMS_JOB/DBMS_SCHEDULER.
Any questions just ask.

Issue while fetching the file through *.extension by FTP sender file adapte

Hello Experts,
I am facing a issue while fetching the data through sender File adapter with ' *.file extension' .I am illustarting the scenario as below .
It is a simple scenarion of File to File inboumd scenarion.Here file is getting picked up from a third party system
through FTP sender chanel and stored in a temp folder of PI through NFS rceiver file adapter .
The problem is however I am getting, while picking the file with file name as "*.exo"(where exo is the file extension).
But while fetching the file with particular name like"abcd_10032011*.exo"(file naming has been done by combination of abcd(always same)_currentdate(change according to current date)),file picked successfully .
So here ,in the prior case file not getting picked up,but in later case it dose .
Can anyone please let me know what might be the issue?

Hi Sunit,
Connect from your PI System to 3rd Party System (where are placed the Source Files)
FTP <PartySystemHostName>
eg. FTP 10.2.3.456 (then insert Username & Password to Login)
Go to source directory
cd \<SourceDirectory>
eg. cd \donaldduck\directory\
Execute a File List command
ls -la *.<extension>
eg. ls -la *.exo
In this way you should be able to view all files with this extension (*.exo), the same action that Sap XI perform to pickup the file.
Then, try to copy that file to your Local PI System (to check if there're some permissions issue):
mget <filename>.exo
eg. mpget File1_01012011.exo

File not coming at FTP server

Hi,
I am doing Idoc to File scenario...In receiver communication channel FTP server is to be used...Data is processing successfully in sxmb_moni...but its not visible at FTP server....have checked at all the places...
Please help.

this can be for the following reasons...
1. your File adapter might throw some error ( check RWB-->Adapter monitoring)
2. Data might be stuck in Queue ( TO-BE-Delivered state) cehck in adapter engine or cache
3. Since you are sending data to the remote server, it's so happens sometimes if the idle time is more from one file is sent and for another file it the gap is more then you might have to reactivate the file adapter and run the interface.
4. Check is there any batch file running on the FTP by legacy which are moving the files form that location...
5. Make Sure you are sending the data ( No empty files Careated).

Difficulty using the MacBook as an (S)FTP server...

I'm trying to use my MacBook as an FTP server to get some files I need from my brother. He is using an iMac but we're having a lot of trouble connecting.
We have read several tutorials but we simply can't seem to get it working, and I know it's not that difficult.
My personal file sharing and FTP Acess are both turned on and so are his. After I receive the IP for the server when I check it on, is that it? He has tried using the connet to server option on finder as well as third party FTP clients. What does he type in before the ip address in the box? ftp:\\ or sftp:\\ or does he leave it blank or what?
Also, how does username and password work? I don't know where to set that, much less what he should use to login to the server. Every time we've tried it simply gives us a "failed to connect" message.
I haven't had this MacBook for very long - I LOVE it but I've never used this part of it so any help would really be appreciated.

Hi Fendrix
Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
First, are you and your brother in the same location (ie, on the same network), or in different locations? That will affect whether you can use your local IP addresses to connect, or whether you need to use public IP addresses. In addition, if either of you is behind a router, you would need to forward the Apple File Sharing port (548) from the router to the Mac you're trying to share.
You shouldn't need both File Sharing and FTP activated - they're different protocols. If you're both using Macs, File Sharing (AFP) should be enough.
If you were on the same network, you would have IP addresses such as 192.168.1.2, 192.168.1.3. In that case, one of you would go to the Finder, click cmd-K to open the "Connect to Server" window, and just type in that address. You'd then get a login prompt, where you need to enter login details for an account on the Mac you're connecting to (ie, if you're connecting to him, you use his account login, not yours).
If you're on different networks, you need his public IP address, which you can get from a service such as http://whatsmyip.org/ . If he's behind a router, configure it to forward port 548 to his computer. You then use the same cmd-K to connect to his server, but using the public IP address. The router will then forward the connection request to his Mac, and you'll get the login box as before.
Hope that helps
Matt

Apache Commons Net - Retrieve File - Extension, Compare , Move - FTP Server

Dear All,
I am using Apache Commons net FTP Library for FTP Operations. I had a few doubts
1) I like to retrieve ftp files only with some extensions like *.txt or *.jpg etc. How can we retrieve files with specifying file extension?
2) I need to compare the FTP Files with the local files before downloading from the FTP Server?
3) I need to move files from the ftp server to local directory. Is there is anyway to move the files rather than first retrieve files from the FTP Server and then deleting the file in the FTP Server using FTP delete()
Thanks,
J.Kathiresan

1) I like to retrieve ftp files only with some
extensions like *.txt or *.jpg etc. How can we
retrieve files with specifying file extension?
List the files and then filter the list to those that you want to process.
2) I need to compare the FTP Files with the local
files before downloading from the FTP Server?Think about this one! To compare two files you nead to read both. If you do this on the client then you will have to copy the file from the server first!

3) I need to move files from the ftp server to local
