Problem with NFS in sender file adapter

Hi everybody,
I´m facing the following problem.
The XI runs under a HP-UNIX server and I want to access into a windows server by using NFS in the file sender adapter.
I have created a shared folder in the windows server.
In the Source Directory field I have typed: //Windows_Server/Shared_folder.
In the file name field: FileA.txt
The error is the following:
History:
- 2006-11-24 13:16:41 CET: Retry interval started. Length: 10.000 s
- 2006-11-24 13:16:41 CET: Error: Directory //Windows_Server/Shared_folder does not exist
- 2006-11-24 13:16:41 CET: Processing started
Do I need to do anything else?
Any idea?
Thanks
Carlos

hi,
can you access the folder when you're logged onto the HP-UNIX server?
with this path //Windows_Server/Shared_folder.
(via console for example) ?

Archive file with errors in sender file adapter not working! please help!

Hi Experts,
I have a file to RFC scenario. the input is a XML file. I have setup the flag in sender file adapter channel for archiving the input files with errors. But it is not working.
For testing I have used an invalid xML file for example without the main XML tag. I have also tested with a MSWORD file saved with.xml extension. But in both the cases the files are not getting archived.
My archive location permissions are fine and in fact normal archive operation is happening. That is, if I select the processing mode as "Archive" and gave the Archive directory then files are getting archived. The problem is only with the "Archive faulty source files" option.
What am I missing? DO I need to do some more configurations?
What are the prerequisites if any for this option?
How to test this?
Please help me! I will be greatfull to you all!
Thanks & Regards

Problem with fixedlenthgs in receiver file adapter

HI,
I am doing XML to flat file scenario and using mutli mapping concept without BPM.
in the receiver file adapter I am using FCC with fixedlengths,then it generated just 3 output files out of nearly 100 source files.the errored one are succcessful in the SXMB_MONI and failing in RWB-->Message moni with waiting status and MDT says that XI_J2EE_ADAPTER_FILE ,Error Code PROCESSING_ERROR .
i tried in SDN and then found something like enable the disablesecurity check box in variable substitution parameters ,then I got 4 files out.
these are my FCC params for all structures:
struc1.fieldFixedLengths
struc1.fixedLengthTooShortHandling
struc1.endSeparator
and I tried with fieldSeparator then it gives successfully all output files.
so,where is the problem?I didnt understand?
any suggestion.
thank you,
regards,
Babu Sri

Bhavesh,
I felt the same way,but assumed that ,in that way fixedlenghths wont work.
in my target structure most of the fields have 0-1 occurences ,and even in the source structure too.so,I think it might be the reason.Then I have to make all my about 60fields 1-1 madatory and using mapWithDefaultValue function, as my sources are optional.
you think it will work just using the "mapWithDefaultValue" function without changing my occurences to 1-1 in the target structure(mandatory)?infact I can try but ,cos of pain for changing like 60 fields....:) and even dont know which fields are causing the problem,so that we can apply "mapWithDefaultValue" function only on those fields.
thank you,
Babu Sri

Problems with text lenght in file adapter

Hi everyone.
I'm trying to move a file from a folder to another one.
Problem is that this file (plain text) contains only one field per row but this field contains more than 2000 chars.
When i get the result file, i only have the first 256 chars per row.
Is there any way to get the 2000 chars in destiny using XI ?
Regards,
Iñigo.

Hi
you can use absoluteRowWidth parameter to restrict
Fixed Column Width of the Text Document:
NameA.absoluteRowWidth=<noOfColumns>
If the separators do not contain any line breaks, the text document is generated as a single line of text. To restrict the width of the text, use this parameter. <noOfColumns> represents the maximum number of columns in this case. This parameter also functions together with the specification of a line break for xml.endSeparator.

This value requires NameA.addHeaderLine=0 to be specified.
please go through the site

When i tested the scenario and monitored it using MDT in CC monitoring tool its giving me below mentioned error.
The XML page cannot be displayed
Cannot view XML input using style sheet. Please correct the error and then click the Refresh button, or try again later.
XML document must have a top level element. Error processing resource 'http://myurlname/mdt/me...

Sender file Adapter, problem with proxy authentication

HI all,
i'm having some problems with the following scenario, i need to configure a sender file adapter which connects to a FTP server. To connect this FTP server i need to set a proxy (and so a username and a password), and i don't know how to do.
From note 821267 seems that the proxy is not supported for an FTP adapter, but the are some workaround like the ones described in the following link
Re: Proxy server inFTP adapter
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=57137
They don't work in my case as i need to se two username (the one for proxy and the one for the ftp server) and i cannot force the proxy use for all XI applications.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks a lot
Aldo

Proxy is necessary to exit the customer local intranet. It's not possible to go outside network without going through the proxy server.
I cannot set the proxy server in file adapter as it's not supported like described in SAp note, a possible workarounf is to force the proxy server in the J2ee stack but in this way all PI calls would use that proxy..

Mapping problem due to FCC in sender file adapter

Hi All
I am doing File( Flat File ) to RFC Scenario.it is working fine..
the problem comes in mapping with multiple records.
FCC at sender file adapter is used
my Data Type are :
Source DT Target RFC import parameter(table).
E2ED20* ITEM*
 KEY VBELN
 VBELN POSNR
E2E24* CHARG
 KEY
 POSNR
 CHARG
*->>multiple occurence
E2ED20 and E2E24 are 2 segment ,KEY is used in FCC to identify E2EDL20 & E2EDL24
My source text file is like this :
E2EDL20 0200
E2EDL24 xyz
E2EDL20 0201
E2EDL24 abc
E2EDL24 efg
E2EDL24 mln
E2EDL20 0202
E2EDL24 gty
so the payload should be :
0200 xyz
0201 abc
0201 efg
0201 mln
0202 gty
in FCC ignoer record set= true
otherwise is not called...
i try to use split by value & use oneasmany , not helpfull.
in message mapping when i checked th field VBELN -> display queue
i am getting an array 0200
 0201
 0202 in white fields

Actaully probolem here is My XI sender file adapter need to pick 2800 file from ftp.
adapter need to file pick files ranging SAP_OUT_066581_280_INV.xml to SAP_OUT_SZ22TXN066581_2800_INV.xml
to pick these we have given file name as u201CSAP_OUT_*_INV.xmlu201D when ever given this XI is coming with no messges.
when ever file name is given as SAP_OUT_SZ22TXN066581_3*_INV.xml it XI has picked file from 300 to 399
when eve tried with the options to pick all the message
SAP_OUT_SZ22TXN066581_*_INV.xml Failed with no messaege
even atleast tried to pick 1000 mesaanges from 1000 to 1999
i have given like this
SAP_OUT_SZ22TXN066581_1*_INV.xml failed with no messages
while trying with option xi picking file max 100 at a time

SAP_OUT_SZ22TXN066581_12*_INV.xml
like this I am increaing the number and picking maximum of 100 messages only
Is there any way to auto mate this or nny file names need to be required
waiting for your reply

Check SAP Note 821267 - FAQ: XI 3.0 / PI 7.0/ PI 7.1 File Adapter.
I guess point 8 might relate to your problem if the FTP adapter timeout occurs.
check the note 849089 as well.
Also check point 13 and 26.

Sender File Adapter and NFS

I am having a sender file adapter and is using NFS as the Transport Protocol. This channel is throwing an error that " directory does not exist". What can be the possible solutions for this problem?
When I had previously checked this , it was working fine but now its throwing this errorr.

Hi Neelansha,
If you select the transport protocol for NFS, Mention the Directory name for where we can get data.
and check the communication channel monitor for file sender, it will shows the clear error.

System error when send file with Sender File Adapter

Hi all,
I have configured a "File To ABAP Proxy" scenario. After configuring, i executed a "Test Configuration" in Integration Directory and it's all OK. But this file unable to reach into ABAP Proxy Target. In the Runtime WorkBench\Message Monitoring, I get an error message in below:
Engine: Adapter Engine
Status: *System Error *
Start: 15.08.2008 14:04:01
End: 15.08.2008 14:19:01
Sender Service: BS_XI_SERVER
Interface Servic: urn://FILE_TO_PROXY
MI_EMPLOYEE_OB
In this case, I don't know why my Sender File Adapter is error and why status is "System Error" and why it can't reach into Target System. Can it concern a role user?
( For more clearly: I configured the source file and the path correctly. And i used the xml file with the content and the document name correctly. In general, the Sender Adapter File don't convert the sender file and its content is same as the Payload in the "Test Configuration", i think it is all OK.)
Could anyone please help me to resolve this problem, anyone can explain this error, how can i resolve this error?
Thanks a lot in advance,
Vinh Vo

Hi Chirag,
1.I source structure is very simple as below:
<ns0:MT_MATERIAL xmlns:ns0="urn://FILE_TO_PROXY">
 <MATERIAL>
 <WERKS>1000</WERKS>
 <MATNR>MAT00001</MATNR>
 <MAKTX>Chemical Material</MAKTX>
 </MATERIAL>
</ns0:MT_MATERIAL>
2. the Communication Channel Monitoring in Runtim WorkBench\Adapter Engine is OK for my Sender File Communication Channel, it's in Blue Light.
However, i don't know what's FCC?
Thanks and best regards,
Vinh Vo

Problem in sender file adapter

Hi all,
I have a sender file adapter using ftp with processing mode delete. But my input file is not getting deleted. In RWB, the adapter satus is green with msg processed sucessfully. I tried with a file name that is not available in the ftp folder, but still the adapter status is green with msg processed succesfully.
Help me debug this error.
Regards,
Jai Shankar.

Are you using Content conversion ?
If adapter monitoring is green, and shows processed successfully, then if you have any errors , you can see in the RWB->Message Monitoring->Audit Log (Message display Tool).
If there is no error, then try to do the cache refresh as I told. Ask Admin help for that. Restarting a Adapter engine may help you here/

Vaildating File name with the data in the file using sender file adapter

Hi,
Below is the scenario
1) Pick up files from a FTP server, the file name is dynamic, how do I put dynamic name in sender file adapter?
2) Determine if the user correctly named the file based on data in the file.
a. File naming structure that we will be concerned with is <company_code><accounting_time_period>.<extension>
b. The company code and the time period in the file name have to match the data in the file.
i. For example. If the file name is 1001_200712.csv and the data in the file is for company code 1005, time period 200712, the file is incorrectly named. Both values must be correct.
How do we do this?

Hi Sachin,
 As Rightly said by Krishna, You can not put Dynamic name in sender File Adapter .You have to provide the name of the file like "*.txt" in Sender Adapter and at runtime you can access this file name by using following UDF:
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container
.getTransformationParameters()
.get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File","FileName");
String valueOld = conf.get(key);
return (valueOld);
As now you have picked up the file name at runtime.
Now concatenate source file fields Company_code and Accounting_timeperiod using "_" as delimiter in properties.Also concat the extension .Now you have required file name.
So using EQUALS standard function ,compare it with File Name fetched at runtime using above given UDF, and pass result as you desire to process further or not or to raise Alert to resend the file.
Thanks & Regards,
Anurag Garg
You can validate this file name in Mapping itself.

Sender File Adapter with file conversion

Hi guys,
Im using a Sender File adapter with file conversion. The message to be processed has a structure with fixed lengths and in your content are some values that needs to be ignored.
An example:
value1 value2 value3
I want to ignore value 2 but I cant find a parameter for that! Do I need to define dummy fields on my data type and ignore those fields during mapping? Or there is a specific parameter for that?
Thanks in advance,
Ricardo.

hi,
there always is another way:)
you can import the whole line to one field
and cut it inside the adapter module
(then you can define start and stop of the substring that you need to use)
but of course it's not standard even though it's quite easy to achieve in java

File Content Conversion Problem: Sender File Adapter

Hi All,
In Sender File Adapter, how to spilt the single line into different lines using + as a separator. Plz see below my source file.
#SMESS=IV01:672633SAP:676968:::NL51:02:11+
COPS=678713:676968:070416:IV01'3:11IVFR=678713:PDA and'IND 2'9206 AD'Dtn'INIVDA=070416IVNR=6264008195:676968add1
#EMESS=0+
In above txt file there are 3 lines.
1st line starts with #SMESS
2nd line starts with COPS
3rd line starts with #EMESS.
In 2nd line, if u observe there are 3 lines separating by +. My task is, I have to spilt the 2nd line into 3 lines using + separator.
I already used the xx.endSeparator as '+' to spilt the line but it is not working....
Could anyone help me how to do this. This is very urgent
Thnx,
Kumar.
