Problem regarding Configuring the File Adapter

Hi,
I am making a Flat File to XML File Scenario. I have made all the Necessary developments and the Routings in the Integration Repository and the Integration Directory. The Sender Communication Channel Uses the Message Protocol "File Content Conversion". All the required steps have been done. We have installed the System and also the Basis Team has done the Post Installation Activities.
 The Problem is that the "File is not getting picked up". When checking the RWB and henceforth the Adapter Monitoring we see that the File Adapter is disabled and the XI and the BC adapters are green. Previously we were on SP9 and now we are on SP14. The SAP Basis is at 640 and SP9 and the SAP ABAB is on 640 and SP9.
We are also unavailable to see the File Communication Channels that we have created. When the Tcode "sxi_cache is run it is giving an error that Cache not refreshed andon refreshing various times too the Cache is not Refreshed.
Please Suggest us what we should do. Eagerly waiting for a reply and Thanking in Anticipation. Do we need to make some for configurations for that.
Warm Regards
Chakra and Somnath

Hi Somnath,
If the sender file adapter is up and running and even after that if you find some problem, the first thing you need to do is check if your file has been picked. The easiest way to check the same is to set the mode to DELETE, that is the file gets deleted as soon as it is picked. If your file has not been picked then the reasons for the same could be the following.
- The path that you specified while configuring the sender communication channel would have been wrong.
- While specifying the file name take care as it is case sensitive.
- If you require content conversion then make sure that the parameters entered at the time of configuration are all correct.
Please go thru the following links to get a very clear picture of your requirement.

ALERT MAIL FOR FILE ADAPTER COMMUNICATION CHANNEL ERRORS

Hi,
I need to send an alert by mail to a list of configured receivers if any error( Application as wel as System Errors ) occurs in the FILE ADAPTER Communication Channel .
Please suggest how to do it......
Regards,
Sriparna

Can anything be configured in the communication channel to run a mail unix script if the communication channel is throwing
error.Other than alert rule can we configure this.
Why do you intend to use script? Define Alert....create Rule....set parameters using SCOT.....you will get the alert as email (if you need it)
Can you please help with how do I create this rule specific to File Adapters only ?
Other than selecting FILE as Adapter Type in RWB --> Alert Rule definition we dont do anything special....this setting should help.
Regards,
Abhishek.

Testing the JDBC adapter communication channel

Hi
I've created an interface which gets the sender payload using a JDBC adapter.
Basis have installed the JDBC driver for the database where the data resides
I've configured the communication channel to poll every 10 minutes
So far nothing appears to be happening
Can I test the communication channel independantly?
Is there a procedure to make the communication channel active?
Is there an admin area where I can see if there is an issue with the communication channel.
I've checked SMQ1, SMQ2 and SXMB_MONI and there are no messages
I've also checked runtime workbench => adapter monitoring => communication channels but I get an empty list
all help will be very much appreciated

Hi Geoff,
It is not possible to check only the communication channel but we can check the complete scenario confogured in Integration Directory.
1. Open ID.
2. Goto Tools.
3. Provide the sender and the receiver parameters.
4. Also provide the payload in the Payload section.
5. Now, goto Test Configuration
6. Select Run.
This shows you, if there are any issues in the configuration.
Thanks,

None of the file Sender Communication Channels are wotking in Prod-Urgent

facing a wierd situation, since yesterday all of my File Sender Comm Channels have stopped picking up files.This is in Production and was working fine day before.When I check in Comm channel monitoring the Channels are started and Functioning and also shows me that they are polling for the files.But no file is picked though files exist in the directory.These channels have been working fine since months and nothing had been changed since then.Suddenly all of them stopped picking up files.
I have about 10 Comm Channels that pick files, Is this related to Adapter Engine....any suggestions on this would be really apprecated.
Thank You.

Hi!
Check access rights on your files. Try to set them to 777 (using chmod). Maybe this will help.
Problem is, when the XI does not have rights for picking up files, you see no errror message in CC monitoring and everything seems to be ok, but it is not..
We faced the same problem.. And we figured out, that our partner started to upload files with different access rights.

Soap adapter communication channel problem

Hi...
While doing Webservices to file scenario, in component monitoring, the soap adapter communication channel is showing as (in small traiangle inyellow color) channel started but inactive

Hi leelaratnam,
Please check that you have only 1 communication channel active and running.
This happens when more than 1 CC is pointing or waiting for the same incoming data.
Also perform a dummy activate (i.e. write somthing in description and activate) in your message mapping and communication channel objects in case you are using PI 7.0
Thanks,
Varun

Setting the File Adapter Sender Source Directory...

Good morning, Experts
We have 2 sender file adapter communication channels in XI 7.0. Source directories for each are as follows:
Channel A - //757spgmr16-xp.sauder.com/SAP
Channel B - //devqas.sauder.com/ROOTBIN
Channel A works. Channel B does not. It returns "Configured source directory '//devqas.sauder.com/ROOTBIN' does not exist". When I remote into the XI box as the administrator I can open a Windows Explorer window and can see both of these source folders.
What user ID is used to access the NFS for the communication channel???
Any help you could give would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Chad

Is the integration engine running in a service on the XI server??? There are a number of SAP labelled services. Some are started with the log on of "Local system", some with the administrator account and then some with an ID of "SAPServicePID".
My guess here is that possibly this SAPServicePID user is running the integration engine and does not have permissions to the source directory??? Could this be the case???
Can somebody tell me the name of the service for the integration???

Issue on file sender adapter communication channel

Hi All,
I have an issue on some of the file sender adapter communication channels .The channels are failing with the error :
(u201CAttempt to process file failed with com.sap.engine.interfaces.messaging.api.exception.MessagingException: com.sap.xi.swift.ParserException: com.sap.xi.swift.ParserException: Message does not start with character '0x1f'u201D).
Please let me know the procedure to get this message processed.
Thanks & Rgards

Hi Vishu,
Find out in what encoding the file is in. for that download Notepad++ and open the file with in.
In Encoding tab you will see the encoding format.
1. If its not UTF-8 or ANSI then you should set the correct encoding in Sender File channel.
2. Check for BOM characters which will not be visible directoly.
3. Use Notepad++ to convert the content to HEX and check for hidden values. i bet there will be some Encoding BOM in the file which is creating problem while picking the file.
Since you are using SWIFT module: try to validate the XML file using Altova XML and check weather is correct.

I got this error
ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel
Please guide me what to do to resolve this problem
Farhad

The error, ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel, is a client driver error.
The client driver simply says "hey, the database server process servicing me has torn down our communication channel!". The communication channel is usually a TCP socket connection.
The client driver has no idea why. Thus you have to find the answer on the server.
The usual cause of this communication channel being closed, is the Oracle server process servicing the client session, crashing.
When an Oracle server process crashes, it does not tell the client. It usually writes an entry to the Oracle alert log, dump a trace file, and terminates. When terminating, it tears down any communication channels (TCP sockets) it may have opened.
Therefore you must look in
- the alert log file for an error message listing the crash (which will include the dump file name)
- look at this trace dump file (which is difficult if you're not familiar with Oracle internals)
- investigate the stack trace and error codes on Metalink (which often turns up the bug notes for this, plus any workarounds or available patches)
Usually however, one should log these types of Oracle server errors as a TAR with Oracle Support.

"Performance" problems with the File adapter on Plain J2SE Adapter Engine

Hi,
At the moment I'm on a customer side to solve some XI issues for a few days. One of the issues is the performance of the Plain J2SE Adapter Engine, using the file adapter to transfer XML messages(already XI message format) from the legacy system to the Integration Engine. The File adapter has to deal with "large" XML messages(max at the moment is 65 Mb) and the engine fails with the following error when transferring the big XML file: "ERROR: Finished sending to Integration Engine with error "java.lang.OutOfMemoryError". Skip confirmation and quit this loop".
As far I got the information from the customer the memory use of the Plain adapter engine is set to 512Mb. This is maybe to low. But I don't know where to look for this, I only have the adapter web interface in front of me, no access to the OS it self via for example remote connection.
On the Integration Engine I know there is the ability to split large message with the file adapter(File Content Conversion), but I don't know this for the Plain Adapter Engine. Is there a possibility to do this also on the Plain Adapter Engine?
Thanks in advance for any input.
Greetings,
Patrick

Hi Sameer,
Thanks for your answers.
On the first solution, yes that is possible, we first decided to see if the legacy system can do the splitting, before starting developing a Java program.
On the second solution, as far as I know is this solution possible on the Integration Engine. But we are facing the problems on the Plain J2SE Adapter Engine. I went trough that documentation(link:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/6f/246b3de666930fe10000000a114084/frameset.htm ), to look for I similiar solution in the Plain Adapter Engine. So my question is, is this possible with the Plain Adapter? And if so, what kind of parameters I need to use to achieve this.
Regards,
Patrick

File sender Communication Channel is not working

Hi friends
we Created File sender Communication Channel and Activated but It is not picking up file
1. 0 messages in Message Monitoring
2. My Communication Channel not appearing in Communication Channel Monitoring also
3. We have refreshed the cache and activated the channel.
we chack with File name, Directory name and path ....
Friends have any idea
Regards
   Viswanadh Vadde

Perosnally, I would recommend setting a trace and letting the system telling you exactly why.
Traces are used to analyze runtime errors. By setting a specific trace level for specific locations, you can analyze the behavior of individual code segments at class and method level. This is done with the help of the log configurator service:
Log onto the Java Admin Console
     Services
     Log Configurator
     Locations
     Choose the location (Java package) and the tracing level (severity)
(for example, com.sap.aii.adapter.file)
     Root Location > com > sap > aii > File
     Set the severity and choose Copy Severity to Subtree

How to dump configuration of File adapter

Hello,
Can any body help me out for preparing configuration dump (no screenshot) of the
respective communication channel, esp. with Sender FILE Adapter.
Best regards,
Jilan Bhasha

Hi Jilan -
For the file adapter, you can get a text dump of the configuration at the following location:
<sapmnt>/<SID>/DVEBMGS<XX>/j2ee/cluster/server<X>\log\services\com.sap.aii.adapter.file.svc
<sapmnt> is usually /usr/sap
Obviously, you need file system access. If you don't have it, ask your basis team.
You can do this for the JDBC adapter as well.
See Note 824236 for more details.

Jin
