Problem with sender file adapter

Hi all,
I am having a problem in reading file with complex structure,
my structure is like this:
Header - 1
rows - 0 - unbound
Footer 1
In the recordset Structure - Header,1, Row,*, Footer,1
The file is not being read, only if I cahnge the * to the exact number of roes type ROw it is working,
Thnaks,
Naama.

Hi,
I tried it on a simple file and it works,
But for some reason it doesnt work on my file, I think it because the structure of the segments.
the first line is the header and its key value is H u2013 it should appear once in the file
the second line is the header2 and its key value is D u2013 it should appear once in the file
the 3+4 lines is the details and its key value is L u2013 it should appear * times
the last line is the footer and its key value is D u2013 it should appear once in the file
Header1.
T   H T150380149462.DAT                30/07/08 13:05:04 7 014946/2i`cpei driaz
Header2.

Footer.
T   T T150380149462.DAT                00008 014946/2*** seq ****
I think that because the beginning of header2 and detail is the same it does not work,
Any Ideas?

"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

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>

      <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,

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/

Issue with Sender File Adapter

Hi,
In Sender File Adapter I have used content convertion. If the content convetion fails or the channel goes to error state, the sender file channel stops polling. The channel is not polling in the next interval once it goes to error state.
Please help.
Thanks
Aravind

Hi,
That's true.
If one file fails to process due error in content coversion or for any other reason, the channel would stop polling for the next time and also would not process the files following it.
Please correct the content conversion and process the file.

Problem with NFS file adapter using a network share as source of files

Hello,
I have set up a sender cc with NFS format file adapter, with at the source directory a network share (
server\sharename ). The share is on another system and not mapped to a local drivename, but it is open for everybody.
The problem is, the adapter seems to not pick up the files in the directory, so there must be something I'm overlooking.
- Both servers run on Windows
- Share is available normally and open for everybody for all actions (including the SAPServiceSID user)
- Files themselves are okay. If I put a file on a local drive and make the source directory the local drive instead of the network path, the file gets processed correctly
- Because of the need for a file completion check, FTP is not an option
Does anybody know what is going wrong, or what I could check for trace / logging info on possible cause of the problem?

Hi,
While using NFS mode you are supposed to put the file on XI server directory NOT to a common share directory of any other machine. And this is the reason your adapter in not picking the file.
You can upload the file on XI server directory by using the tcode "SXDA_TOOLS", morevere you can check the file on the same directory with tcode "AL11". It is otherway-around, you can first select or chose the dir by AL11 and then put the file in the same dir by tcode SXDA_TOOLS.
If you need more info about SXDA_TOOLS, let me know.

How to read files with codepage UTF16LE with "Sender File Adapter"

Hi everybody,
I am using a XI-Filesender-Adapter to get a (UTF-16LE encoded) file und process it in XI-Mapping.
This is my File-Content:
Cost Centre,Cost Code,Page Count (B&W),Page Count (Colour),Job Count
Unknown,Lexmark,"37,480",334,"11,968"
Unknown,Unknown,312,0,177
110000,Lexmark,128,228,43
The HEX-representation of this content is:
FF FE 43 00 6F 00 73 00 74 00 20 00 43 00 65 00
(The starting 2 Bytes FF FE represent UTF16-LE )
And this is the payload I get for mapping:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<ns:MT_POM_KOSTEN xmlns:ns="http://aua.com/pom">
<POM_REC>
<COSTCENTER>uFEFFCost Centre</COSTCENTER>
<COSTCODE>Cost Code</COSTCODE>
<PAGECOUNT_BW>Page Count (B&W)</PAGECOUNT_BW>
<PAGECOUNT_COL>Page Count (Colour)</PAGECOUNT_COL>
<JOBCOUNT>Job Count</JOBCOUNT>
</POM_REC>
<POM_REC>
<COSTCENTER>Unknown</COSTCENTER>
<COSTCODE>Lexmark</COSTCODE>
<PAGECOUNT_BW>37,480</PAGECOUNT_BW>
<PAGECOUNT_COL>334</PAGECOUNT_COL>
<JOBCOUNT>11,968</JOBCOUNT>
</POM_REC>
<POM_REC>
<COSTCENTER>Unknown</COSTCENTER>
<COSTCODE>Unknown</COSTCODE>
<PAGECOUNT_BW>312</PAGECOUNT_BW>
<PAGECOUNT_COL>0</PAGECOUNT_COL>
<JOBCOUNT>177</JOBCOUNT>
</POM_REC>
<POM_REC>
<COSTCENTER>110000</COSTCENTER>
<COSTCODE>Lexmark</COSTCODE>
<PAGECOUNT_BW>128</PAGECOUNT_BW>
<PAGECOUNT_COL>228</PAGECOUNT_COL>
<JOBCOUNT>43</JOBCOUNT>
<POM_REC>
I can see the correct strings (for example Cost Centre) in payload, but the string-comparison in the user defines function cannot recognize the equality of the strings:
for (int i =0; i < a.length; i++) {
if (
(a<i>.equals("Cost Centre")) )
result.addSuppress();
else
result.addValue("");
Actually I am using UTF-8 as codepage in Fileadapter (and Text as type)
When I try to use UTF16 (or UTF-16LE) as Codepage, I am getting unreadable characters.
I also tried binary, UTF16-BE,...
The only way is to covert the file to ANSI before I use it with XI. Then my function does work correctly.
Does anybody have an idea, how I can read a UTF16-LE File and process it correctly in XI?
I am using XI 7.00 0023 and JSDK 1.4.2-34
Thanks a lot
Armin

Hello Armin,
I have gone through some SAP notes and blogs to find solution to your problem, here is what I found
1. SAP NOTE 821267
q) How do I correctly configure the File Encoding used by the File
Adapter?
Flat Files with File Content Conversion
For a File Sender channel, configure the encoding of the source
file. The file will be interpreted according to the configured
encoding and converted to XML with an UTF-8 encoding.
For a File Receiver channel, configure the encoding to match
the encoding you would like to be written to the target flat
file.
- Flat Files without File Content Conversion
Whether to configure an encoding in this case depends on if you
want to pass through the file "as is", e.g. within a File
Sender to File Receiver scenario, or if you want to convert the
file's encoding on its way through the Integration Server. For
"as is" processing, configure both the sender and the receiver
using the File Type setting "Binary".
To apply an encoding conversion, configure the respective
source and target encoding in both the sender and receiver
channel.
Important: Configuring an encoding in the receiver channel
will only lead to the expected results if the payload sent to
the receiver channel is in UTF-8 format (e.g., by having
specified an encoding conversion in the Sender channel).
So as per this note if you configure the encoding scheme of sender communication channel to UTF-16LE, adapter should be able to convert it to UTF-8 by default. But you have posted that this encoding scheme is leading to unreadable charcters
2) SAP note 880173
This speaks of use of module XMLAnonymizerBean which can be applied to XML payload to change its encoding.
3) How to guide on encoding : http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/502991a2-45d9-2910-d99f-8aba5d79fb42?QuickLink=index&overridelayout=true
4) SAP note:960663
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/45/da2deb47812e98e10000000a155369/content.htm
TextCodePageConversion Bean details which might solve your problem.
5) Finally if nothing above works you need a java mapping code to convert to target XML structure without any File content conversion. The mapping will convert the received file to proper target XML in "UTF-8" encoding. Please let us know if you need help on the code with this final option.

Anupam

Problem with a file adapter

Hi,
I'm making a scenario using XI 3.0. I use a file adapter (with an inbound synchronous interface) to send a xml file to XI. XI consumes a function from CRM using a RFC adapter and an outbound synchronous interface.
The xml file arrives correctly to CRM. The problem is CRM doesn't return the BAPI result, so XI doesn't return any response. XI should return another xml file through another file adapter.
How can I make this scenario to send a xml file using a file adapter and receive another xml file using the same adapter type after consuming the BAPI?
Thanks in advance,
Samantha.

you have to use BPM, if you want response back from CRM and create some file based on it all during the same transaction.
another way is create some kind of trigger on CRM side, whenever that BAPI executes and creates some data in CRM, that trigger should send the data to XI as separate interface through RFC or IDOC.

Problems with sender mail adapter

Hi XI Gurus
We have gone through a lot of blogs and searched a lot on the XI forum on how to configure the sender mail adapter with attachments but we still can't get it working at our site. Here are the issues -
1. When we define our data type in the IR as let's say out_email_dt with namespace "http://www.xyz.com" the mapping fails. In the monitor(SXMB_MONI) the message from the sender mail adapter comes in like this -
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
- 
<xim:Mail xmlns:xim="http://sap.com/xi/XI/Mail/30" encoding="quoted-printable">
<Subject>test 10</Subject>
<From>"Test User" <[email protected]></From>
<To>"XI Test Account" <[email protected]></To>
<Content_Type>text/plain;charset="us-ascii"</Content_Type>
<Date>2007-05-08T05:34:38Z</Date>
<Message_ID><[email protected]></Message_ID>
<Content>This is the voice of the Mysterons=0A</Content>
</xim:Mail>
Question 1 - do we have to define our data type as "Mail" under the namespace "http://sap.com/xi/XI/Mail/30".
Question 2 - If you look at the content of the <From>,<To>,<Message_ID> tags you will see that there is content with <> tags which is causing the message mapping to fail. Is there a way of telling XI that they are not xml tags but part of some other tags?
2. Also the PayloadSwapBean doesn't seem to swap the payload to be the attachment.
3. Can we use masks in the PayloadSwapBean for attachment names like "." as we don't know what the file name is going to be as we have multiple partners who will be sending emails to the same address and with different file formats.
Thanks in advance.
Salil

Hi,
>>>>Question 1 - do we have to define our data type as "Mail" under the namespace "http://sap.com/xi/XI/Mail/30".
do exactly as shown in my blog:

>>>>2. Also the PayloadSwapBean doesn't seem to swap the payload to be the attachment.
do similarly as shown in my blog:

Receive zipfile with sender file adapter

Hello,
I need to receive one zipped file (binary data) with the file sender adapter. This zipped file contains an xml file that I need to process.
What is the best way to do this?
I have looked into writing an adapter module to unzip or base64 encode the file before sending it further into xi from the module chain.
However, it looks like only xmlpayload is available to the adapter modules (and attachments, but in this case there are none). In the module I have the following relevant code (lots of try catch surrrounding)
          Object obj = null;
          Message msg = null;
          obj = inputModuleData.getPrincipalData();
          msg = (Message) obj;
          XMLPayload xmlpayload = msg.getDocument();
I end up with an xml payload, that is the zip file in my case.
Is it safe to do something like this
     InputStream is = xmlpayload.getInputStream();
        // zip data into string
     String str = is.toString();
        // base64 encode
     str = MimeUtility.encodeText(str,"base64");
     xmlpayload.setContent(str.getBytes());

Problem with Sender Mail Adapter

Hi experts,
I'm developing a Mail-XI-RFC scenario and have a problem in the mapping. I have created a MI based in the structure of the attachment of the mail. I have a mapping that does xml->RFC and tests OK. When I send a mail to the account of the sender adapter, the system generates two payloads, the 'MailMessage' and the 'MailAttachment-1' that is the xml to map, but I have an error in SXM_MONI 'Cannot produce target element /ns0:...RFC name'.
The Sender Adapter configuration uses message protocol XIPAYLOAD, I have checked Mail Package, base 64 and keep Attachments. Interface namespace is the same as the xml and default interface name is the message interface created of type my xml.
What is wrong?
Best Regards,
Alfredo Lagunar.

In this case you need to use payloadswap bean for swapping the payload and attachment
