Problem in Archiving File From FTP Server to XI File Server Using FCC

Hi,
The scenario is file to IDOc. XI has to read the input file from client FTP server and archive it to XI local file server. Archiving on XI server is working fine without FCC (for xml files). But with FCC, the sender FTP adapter is archiving empty files (0 kb files).
I've checked SXMB_MONI, even there I can see the file data and the IDoc is getting posted with proper data. But, the archived file is empty. Not sure about the problem.
Please suggest. Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Joe.

Hi,
File adapter has the functionality which support the empty file handling.
Handling of Empty Files
Specify how empty files (length 0 bytes) are to be handled.
○ Do Not Create Message
No XI messages are created from empty files.
The files are processed according to the selected Processing Mode.
For example, if the processing mode is Delete, empty files are deleted in the source directory.
○ Process Empty Files
XI messages are created with an empty main payload.
The files are processed according to the selected Processing Mode.
○ Skip Empty Files
No XI messages are created from empty files.
Empty files are skipped and remain in the source directory.

How to copy/send text file from FTPS to SAP ECC File Port

Hi Frdns,
I am working on one design, actually my requirement as follows
I am receiving financial information document from Banks, which is in the form of BIA2 message format, it looks like text file. This information needs to be sending to SAP ECC system.
I identified some approaches to full fill the requirement
1)Using Conversion agent/or third party tools to convert BIA2 message in to XML, then using PI I will pick up the XML message, convert it in to IDoc.
2)Without any conversion I will copy the same file (original BIA2 message) in to SAP ECC file port, in this case no conversion required, calling some program I will schedule it.
I am looking forward t implement the second approach because it saves lot of money to my client.
Now I am wondering using File adapter can i copy to SAP ECC File Port or I required ABAP proxy?
What is the best approach to copy the BIA message text file from FTPS to SAP ECC File Port.??
Regards,
Raj

Hi Raja,
>>Now I am wondering using File adapter can i copy to SAP ECC File Port or I required ABAP proxy?
Yes you can do this copy, the only restriction that can happen is the file size.. If you are sure that the fiel will be of few MB at the max then you can use the Configuration part alone and copy it to ECC folder. For doing this you need the following:
1. Sender agreement (mention the sender interface as anything XYZ)
2. Sender communication channel. Pick the file in binary mode
3. Receiver determination (keep both the sender and receiver service as same)
4. Interface Detemiantion (dont specify any mapping and keep the receiver interface name as XYZ)
5. Create receiver agreement (with same service and interface)
6. Use file adapter here

Large Files from FTP to Azure Storage Account.

We required to transfer files from FTP to Azure Storage Account.
Our FTP contains Almost 4 TB data and in future it will be growing.
We require some automate process which will transfer data from FTP to Windows Azure Storage.
Currently Implemented Solution: We have created
a windows service which will download files from FTP and converting to file stream and with Blob Storage object it will be uploaded to
Storage account.
With the mentioned approach bandwidth is utilized at 2 places
For downloading file from FTP
For Uploading to Azure Storage
Can you please provide any solution/suggestion which will reduce the consumption of bandwidth and large data will transfer in less time

Hi,
Please have a look at below article, it is talking about Blob Transfer Utility tool. Blob Transfer Utility is a GUI tool to upload and download thousands of small/large files to/from Windows Azure Blob Storage.
#https://blobtransferutility.codeplex.com/
Disclaimer: This is not a Microsoft official tool and it is not supported by Microsoft. It's just a (very useful) sample.

How to delete Archived files from FTP

HI,
I am looking to delete Archived files from FTP Server, Can anybody have idea about this.
Thanks,
Ram

To be frank, deletion of archived files is really a manual activity and is never in reality done by an interface
so you have two options;
1. log into the archived folder and manually delete archived files
2. run a script in your file adapter - this way everytime the interface is triggered the files will be deleted - but then y do this.. instead just dont archive any files at all

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".

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.

Download file from FTP Server to Application Server

Hi Friends,
Using the standard SAP Program RSFTP002, I was able to download the file to my local PC. But my requirement is to download the file from FTP to application server.
For RSFTP002, I am passing the username, password, host and in command 1 I am passing lcd :\temp, command 2 get filename. The file gets downloaded into c:\temp. If I do the same passing the app server path in command 1 as /usr/sap/tmp I get an error that pass cannot be found.
Anyone please help me how to donload the file from ftp to app server.
Thanks,
Deepthi

If I remember correctly the activation type on the technical settings tab must be set to "start on application server" in transaction SM59 for the RFC destination for the FTP server. This should allow the files to be transferred to/from the application server.

Steve.
