Poll interval with sender comunication channel in many servers

Hello everybody ,
I have a question, we have PI 7.1 and we have the next requirement:
File Adapter Sender->PI->SAP ECC
now the file need to be picked up from 20 different servers, the file is in the same format in all the servers, is there a way in PI 7.1 for the sender file adapter to have a dynamic FTP server so the same CC File Sender can pick up this files from all the servers, or we'll have to generate one CC for each server, thanks in advance for your answers.
Regards,
Francisco

Hi Francisco
Which System use in your server Unix or Windows?
Yes you can.
First option is in your channel in the check box "Advance Selection for source files" add many server.
Second option xyou can try this in your channel go to tab processing in the option " RUN Operatiing system Command" you write a command that collect or your files and send.
Would better you can collect or your files in one directory and with the command pickup the files and use one Channel
Regards.

Send a Command to many servers at sametime

Hello.
Could someone please tell me that there is a simple way to send a command to many servers at onetime without using Invoke-command powershell cmdlet???

Hi,
You can use the free utility by Microsoft -
PsExec.
PsExec is a light-weight telnet-replacement that lets you execute processes on other systems, complete with full interactivity for console applications, without having to manually install client software. PsExec's most powerful uses include launching interactive
command-prompts on remote systems and remote-enabling tools like IpConfig that otherwise do not have the ability to show information about remote systems.

Problem with Polling interval at sender side in JDBC adapter

Hello,
I have some problem in investigating one serious issue using this polling interval,
I am using the sender JDBC adapter where i used polling interval as
60(in secs) and 1(in Msecs).
So it comes upto 60.001 secs of polling interval.
There are nearly lots of threads which are in sleeping state on one particular sender channel making the J2EE hang. When i went to look inside the CPA cache i saw that the polling interval was mentioned as only 1Msec rather than 60.001 Secs because of which with in some seconds all the threads are blocked and J2EE hangs due to lack of threads.
Can you please provide some solution to this problem as soon as possible?
Here are few questions which i got when i am doing this process,
1. Is that the polling interval is sum of 60(secs) and 1(msec)?
2. Which value is been read either secs or msecs?
3. Will there be any precedence among those two values(secs and msecs)?
THanks,
Soorya

Poll Interval (secs)
Number of seconds that the adapter must wait if no files are found for processing.
● Poll Interval (msecs)
Additional waiting time in milliseconds.
If you set Poll Interval (secs) to null, processing times will be short and close to real time.
If you set Poll Interval (secs) and Poll Interval (msecs) to null, the adapter is only called once.
● Retry Interval (secs)
Specify the number of seconds that the adapter is to wait before a file processed with errors is processed again.
If the value is set to null, then the adapter is canceled if an error occurs, even if a value greater than null is specified for Poll Interval (secs).

Poll interval for sender file adapter.

I have a 1_sender file NFS file adapter which picks a trigger file from X location in PI application server, this trigger file initiates the unix script present in the sender file adapter.
Unix script brings all the file which starts with 25588* from bank FTP and places in Y location in PI application server then script deletes the "trigger file".
another NFS File adapter 1_receiver file adapter places the trigger file in the X location of PI.
for 1_sender file poll interval given as 86400, that means it should trigger only once a day @ 1:30pm.
But today same sender file adapter had triggered 4 times, could any one let me know the reason why it had triggered 4 times instead of single time.

Vidya,
There are two things :-
1. The polling interval should be 24 hrs;
2. The polling interval should be 24 hrs and it should poll at 1:30 pm every day.
For any reason if the channel is re-started, then with your present configuration, you will never be able to achieve # 2.
So, better use ATP.
But today same sender file adapter had triggered 4 times, could any one let me know the reason why it had triggered 4 times instead of single time.
Might be the connection dropped / failed at the time of polling and the channel re-tried. If you give more details (what time and with how much interval it triggered), someone might be able to help.

Problem polling Inbox with Sender Mail adapter

Hi,
I have a funny problem with Sender Mail adapter (IMAP Protocol)
It was working fine previously.
Now, when I poll the Inbox, 2 things happen. After re-activation:
1. If there is a new mail in the Inbox, the Communication channel marks the mail as read, but still keeps reading the same mail into XI.
2. If there are no new mails in the Inbox, it reads the already read mails in the Inbox one by one. So all old mails start entering XI.
This problem exists only with the Inbox. It works fine with other folders for the same mail ID.
Any inputs as to why this is happening?
Regards,
Puloma.

Hi,
We re-started the server and problem was solved. But we don't know why the Adapter Engine was behaving erratically.

Sender Comunication Channel Should Pick Data from 3 Folders.......

Hi Experts,
Iam doing File-xi-File senario in which sender Adapter have to pick data from three different folders.How should i give the path in comunication channel,how to do this senario.

if it is multiple directories then use <i>Advanced Selection for Source File</i> feature - http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/e3/94007075cae04f930cc4c034e411e1/content.htm

More than one sender with only one comunication channel

Hi experts.
I need to know that it is possible to make a one File FTP sender comunication channel with more than one host.
If that is not possible, how could get that functionality?
Thanks!
Regards.

Hi Alvaro,
It is not a bad idea to do a report to search in the two locations, make a job for polling and later the report call via http or SOAP to PI itself (if you need to do any map or you need file content conversion) or not to use in PI scenario (neither http or SOAP call) if you only need to move files. I only see the next disadventages:
1. It is not a standard solution. This could be problematic in a SP uppgrade or PI version change.
2. If one day your client thinks to migrate to the PI java-only version, you would need to do again this scenario.
3. If you haven't any scenario in PI or a good documentation system, this interface can be forgotten for you or by future PI technician.
4. You lose the powerful of the monitoring tools.
Hope this helps.
Regards.

File encoding in sender file comunication channel

hello everyboy,
i have a strange situation.
2 PI 7.0 installation: develop and production. Identical. Same SP level, java vm, etc etc
I have a interface file to idoc.
File sender comunication channel are FTP and with content conversion.
They are identical!!!!!!
but....
in production i added parameter File Encoding = ISO-8859-1 because if i have presence of strange characters....it work better.
the same files...in develop installation, they work without this parameter.
why?
there are a place maybe in Config Tool or j2ee admin tool where is set this parameter?
thanks in advance
Edited by: apederiva on Mar 12, 2010 3:55 PM

Hi,
Make sure your both the systems are unicode so that you will not have any issues. Also please see this document for how to work with character encodings in PI. Also we dont have any special config in j2ee admin tool.

I have been facing with this problem with sender JMS channel, any pointers as to where can be the solution for it
The error details are as follows

Hi Aditya
Try this way:
1. uncheck JMS transactional session check box in JMS sender communication channel.
2. Once it is done, insert new message in JMS queue.

JDBC Sender Channel polling before polling interval is complete

Hi all,
On our Production Server, we have found that a few JDBC Sender Channels are polling multiple times within one polling interval.
Eg: Suppose for one channel, the polling interval is 7200 secs. It polls once and the polling interval starts. But it polls again 1 or 2 times more maybe just 5 secs later before its next scheduled poll in 7200 secs.
Unfortunately, our scenarios are such that when there are multiple polls within a short span of time, there are data anomolies, causing inconsistancies on Receiver side DB. Hence this is a serious uissue.
Please Help. FYI, all the affected channels run on the same schedule. I am not sure if that can be causing this abnormality.

H Varun
I have not come across this behavior earlier. But if you are polling same data base using multiple channel at same time data inconsistency can be there. We always prefer to poll the same data base tables with different timings. Setting up poll timings always consider peak loads. Try to change the polls and see if the same behavior exists.

4/25/11 11:41:40 AM   Processing finished successfully
4/25/11 11:41:40 AM   Processing started
I have tried to stop and start the channel but still no luck. This problem only happen for this particular communication channel others channel is working fine.
Please advise other solution before i need to restart the java engine since this in the production environment. The problem is some of the process was delayed because this issue. CC was delayed to pickup the file.
Thank You in advance.

Hi Abhistek,
Thank you for your correction. It was typo.
Which assumption is correct ?
1. All 3 instance running together in the same time ? or
2. Either 1 of the instance running once time manage by clustering setting.
Example :
15:01:00   ---> A
15:02:00 -
> A
15:03:00 -
> B
15:04:00   -
> B
Currently :
15:01:00   -
> A
15:01:00   -
> B (lock)
15:02:00 -
> A
15:02:00 -
> B (lock)
It seems all 3 instance lose control from clustering ?

Sender File Adapter - Restrict number of file polled at each poll interval

Hi all,
PI 7.0 SPS16.
We would like to know whether it is possible to configure a sender file adapter (file conversion mode) in order to restrain the number of file taken at each poll interval and if yes how ?
Thanks for your future answers.
Jean-Charles

Hi Jean
Standard adapter do not provide functionality to take an input like number of files to be taken at poll interval. But using adapter module you can achieve this.
SAP PI is having the function to set poll timings and scheduling. You can write adapter module and execute this module using File adapter type communication channel before the standard bean and you can restrict the number of files.
Check the link given above as well as this How to Guide

TWO SENDER FILE CHANNELS POLLING SAME DIRECTORY

I have a requirement to send a single file from a single FTP location to two different Target FTP locations as a passthrough interfaces. PI version 7.31
I thought of doing it through two different interfaces, both FTP to FTP keeping source same and destination differently
For First target (T1)Created dummy interfaces(Out/inbound) in ESR, created a configuration scenarion ,Sender and reciver FILE channels in ID, created an ICO.
For the second Target(T2) : can i use the same dummy interfaces as used in first while creating Sender channel?
can i use the same Sender channel as in first scenario to the ICO of Interface for second Target(T2)--> it gave error, same sender channel(IF FILE) channel can't be used to different Sender Agreements/Integrated Configuration Objects. So i copied the sender channel with a different name and used it in second Interface.
Reciever File channel obviously different for both cases with different server details and direcories.
My fear is, if i can go with this set up as we have two sender FTP channels polling on the same FTP directory, so possibility of lock issue and channel are operational on a mapping of one hour(first one 8to10 and second one 9to12, so 9 to 10 both channles poll simultaneously).
Please suggest any better way of handling this, or to resolve the lock issue ?could clusterSyncMode=lock help here?

Hello,
I think u are getting confused.
>>My query was, if we could use two recievers(service) inside a single ICO, without giving any condition. Answer it please in YES or NO?
Yes, indeed u can do it.
IF YES, then how would the message dynamically determine the correct/specific reciever out of the two recievers configured in ICO?
>>Since u want to send same message to two different FTP servers so u don't have to worry about dynamically determining receivers. As soon as file sender adapter picks the file it will route the message to both the receivers and eventually send the same request message to two different FTP servers.
Hence i assume, for every file kept on source direcory, there would be two messages( 2 files) going to be created on two different targets? YES or NO?
>>YES
Thanks

JDBC sender adapter polling data more than once within one polling interval

Hi,
Our sender communciation channel is polling data twice in one polling interval, hence triggering the corresponding BPM twice.
The polling interval for the channel is set to 30 mins.
We dont have an update query and use <test> instead. Currently there is no provision to use an update query in the source system.
Intermitently the polling happens within an interval of few milliseconds, because of which we are in doubt whether the use of Update query will solve our problem
Additionaly in the BPM, we have one channel which deletes the data from source system after the processing is complete by the BPM, but the second BPM is getting triggered before the deletion step is being executed in the first BPM.
Please Advise how we can stop the channel from polling data twice.
Thanks,
Merrilly.

Hi Merrilly,
Please ty to set an advanced mode option in the table(for sender
channel configurations) as follows:
Key name is "clusterSyncMode" and its values are either "scheduler" or
"none".(both are without quotes and case-sensitive)
Default value is "scheduler", this means it prevents 2
messages being generated regardless of 2 server nodes. This is true,
even if you do not add anything in advanced options table.
Also are more information about this parameter of file adapter, what
is the same for jdbc:
