Production Issue with Receiver FTP Adapter

Hi all,
We have so many interfaces with ECC To FTP via XI, working fine.
We had problem with one particular Interface, FTP Owner is saying that we did not received any files since last night for this interface. But that receiver channel's log is saying clearly that file has been written to folder with given name.
Nearly 140 files needs to be received at FTP site. Suddenly they told that received all 140 files at a time with time all with stamp 11:40am
What might be the cause for this?? has any one faced this kind of issues??
Please share your thoughts
Regards
Suman

Hi rajesh,
Thnx for replying, there is no receiver channel on scheduled
Receiver communication channel time stamp is showing as same as time ecc generated with idoc.
But received at FTP is different time( more time difference)
Checked with FTP Admin, and there is no issues or downtime with FTP at that time.
>>use messaging system and search with message id for knowing this step time stamp.
How to check this, please let me know the link.
Regards

Issue with Receiver SOAP adapter for synchronous scenario

Hello All,
We are facing a strange issue with the SOAP adapter in the interface we have setup. This is the 1st time we are using SOAP adapter in our system (PI 7.11 SP7). We are making a synchronous HTTP call to the web service exposed by another system in our landscape. The payload is send with SOAP envelope and there are no credentials to be maintained in PI settings.
The issue is that we are always getting timeout exception in PI audit logs after sending the request (3 minutes - standard timeout value, no additional config for this). But target system has confirmed that they are sending the response back. We tested from our server OS level and have received the response back in the same screen (to verify there is no firewall/port issue in between the systems). But when tried from RWB, it is always giving the timeout exception and we are not able to see any other log.
We have tried checking in the NWA logs as well after increasing the logging level to ALL for com.sap.aii.adapter.soap. But surprisingly, we didn't get any logs at all for the outgoing SOAP call or incoming response and hence we are unable to trace the issue.
We have setup another synchronous inbound SOAP interface (PI exposing the webservice) and it is working fine. We are also able to trace the logs in both audit log and NWA logs.
Is there anywhere else we can check for the logs? Audit logs is showing timeout error and we are not able to see anything in NWA logs.
Does the target system need to maintain PI credentials in the header when they send the synchronous response back?
Are there any specific settings which should be checked to enable the sync communication? (this should not be the case since the inbound interface is working fine)
Please help.
Thanks
Justin

Hi Amit,
Thanks for the reply.
Yes we had tested successfully via SOAP UI as well (forgot to mention that). We are getting back the expected response in SOAP UI without using any credentials. We got the same response when we tested it through OS commands from PI server.
The WS is hosted by the target system and they haven't maintained any credentials at their end. So when PI is trying to access, we don't need to provide any credentials. My question is, whether the target system should keep any credentials to send the synchronous response back to PI (java stack). We have tried that as well but since there aren't any logs, we are unable to verify whether the credentials are coming correctly.
The service interfaces are correct and PI configuration are OK. I will try the XPI inspector for logs as you have suggested.
Thanks
Justin

Issues with Seeburger FTP adapter

Can one of you with Seeburger FTP adapter experience share some information on these issues I'm facing
1. Do I need to setup resource management in Seeburger workbench. If so, do I need to configure, resource, server and reservations. Do you have more information and what parameters I need here.
2. In the Seebuger FTP adapter, I have
Module Key - exit
Parameter Name - JNDIName
Paramter Valu - deployedAdapters/SeeXIFTP/shareable/SeeXIFTP
JNDIName, should I be replacing this with some other name. I'm trying to get Seeburger FTP to work and in the messaging monitor, I see the message as passed to Module Processor but it does go anywhere from there.
Can one you throw some light on this subject...what to expect from this definition.
Thank you for all your replies,
Parimala

I'm resending this since I did not have any luck with it the first time.
We also have an oss note waiting to be responded on this subject.
When I send messages using Seebuger FTP adapter, I see the following information in the SAP message monitor -
"Message entered module processor exit bean and will be transferred to JCA adapter".
But does not get to IBM VAN mailbox. How do I trace from this point onwards.
Should I use Seeburger monitoring tool for this? If so, I don't see anything in Seeburger monitoring (used all criteria).
Please let me know if you have any information on this subject.
Thanks,
Parimala

Issue with Receiver MDM Adapter - Integrated Configuration

Hi Experts,
My scenario is I need to pick a file from PI Directory and push it into MDM Ready folder.
The source file structure is ~ delimiter text file and at the receiving end , I need to push the same file as it is.
At the receiving side I have used MDM Adapter.
The issue at receiving side is:
I am receiving file with .xml extension with the same content as of source file but my requirement is .txt file.
Please advise on this.
I am using SAP PI 7.31.
P.S.- I have not used FTP at the receiver side due to some other concerns.
Thanks,
Vivek Jain

When to use "Use Temporary File" in receiver FTP adapter

Hi Experts,
I have nerver used "Use Temprary File" as the "Write Mode" in receiver ftp adapter.
I want to knwo under what kind of requirment we should use this option?
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards,

Hi Aditya
Usually it's advisable to use "use temporary file" as write mode when you want to avoid your file to be picked up by receiver while PI channel is still writing it.
Obviously larger the file, more chances you have that this issue could occur.
If you select the "use temporary file", XI will write the content to a temporary file with another name of your choice and only once writing has finished it will rename it to the actual name setup in the "file name scheme".

Giuseppe

Retaining the FileName in the Receiver FTP adapter

Hi experts,
I have a situation here, were i need to retain the FileName in the message header in the receiver FTP adapter.
I have tried using variable subtitution but seems the FileName is not supported in variable substitution.
Please help
Thanks

Hello,
if you need file name to be retained in the receiver adapter from the sender side. then u can do that by dynamic configuration using adapter specific message attributes, check this blog for details-
/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/11/10/xi-the-same-filename-from-a-sender-to-a-receiver-file-adapter--sp14
if you dont have a mapping in your interface to use dynamic configuration, then you can do it via adapter module also- have a look here, /people/sap.user72/blog/2005/07/15/copy-a-file-with-same-filename-using-xi

Receiver FTP Adapter Problem

Hello. My scenario is: A file is sent from R/3 via RFC, then from XI to an outside system using the FTP adapter. The RFC part is working, but I've encountered some errors with my FTP adapter. The file is not being created in my directory at all and this is the error message I'm getting:
- 2006-10-11 08:28:20 CDT: Error: Message processing failed: Exception: ftp access error: com.sap.aii.adapter.file.ftp.FTPEx: 552 transfer failed
Can anyone help, please?
Thank you.
Nicole

Hi Nicole,
A few things you might check are:
1) The Ip address given is correct.
2) The login details given in File receiver adpater are right
3) The server is running when you make the transfer, that is 'Allow logins' status is checked in case of guild FTP server or similar servers.
4) The destination directory is given as "/root" with "/" slash.
5) All the firewalls are turned off.
6) File processing mode is 'Create'.
Cheers,
Ashish

Dynamically generate terget directory in receiver FTP adapter

Hi guys,
I'm trying to set up a scenario where the file will be placed into a terget directiry based on values from the incoming message. I can't use variable substitution as my target message does not contain the needed value, so I'm trying to set up a dynamic configuration in an UDF. Unfortunately, this is not working.. Any ideas, what could be wrong? The receiver FTP adapter always just takes values from it's configuration. It doesn't help when I try to change it in mapping.
This is the java map code in the UDF:
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container.getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File", "Directory");
DynamicConfigurationKey key2 = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File", "FileName");
conf.put(key, a);
conf.put(key2, "tfilename.txt");
return "";
Thanks a lot for any help,
Olian

Hi,
use below code it will work fine
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container
.getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File", "FileName");
DynamicConfigurationKey key1 = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File", "Directory");
String a=conf.get(key);
String b=conf.get(key1);
var1 = a+b; ;
return var1;
map this udf to root element of your receiver structure.

Raj

Prerequisites for Sender and Receiver FTP adapter

Hi Experts,
I am new to PI and configuring simple file to file scenario. I need to know the prerequsites for sender and receiver FTP adapter. Scenario is System A -> XI -> System B .
What I want to know is:
1> What ports need to be opened?
2> Any service that I need to activate?
3> Do I need to install FTP server in any of the machine?
If I have missed something, please add.
Br,
Nilz

Hi,
1> What ports need to be opened?
mentioned in below link as said its 21.
2> Any service that I need to activate?
No
3> Do I need to install FTP server in any of the machine?
THere are two ways by which u can pick ur file.
1) NFS by which u can put the file on XI appplication directory and pick up ur file.
2) FTP u have to put ur file on FYP server and XI will pick up the file from there. U can use freeware FTP and install it on ur Desktop search on goolge u will get ti FTP installtion.
refer the below configuration requirement for FIle adapter.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/69/a6fb3fea9df028e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm
ALso refer the end to end file to file scenario.

Receiver FTP Adapter File Size Splitting

Hi,
I am receiving an IDoc from R/3 into XI.
I then map this IDoc into an xml file and use a receiver ftp adapter to drop the files onto a ftp server.
Is there anyway, that I can use the adapter to split the message interface into smaller files. For example, if I were to ftp the message interface into 1 file, the file size would be 1MB. I would like to split the 1 message interface into 4 x 250kb files without having to split the message interface?
Thanks,
Miguel

Hi,
If you split into 4 files each one should be a XML file right?
This is possible without BPM.
Go thro the blog:
/people/jin.shin/blog/2006/02/07/multi-mapping-without-bpm--yes-it146s-possible
Wat u need to do is make the target side 0..unbounded. If u have 100 records, Map some 25 records in first occurence, 25 in second and so on. This way u can reduce file size.

P.Venkat

ABAP client proxy With Receiver JDBC Adapter

I am working on a scenerio ABAP client proxy With Receiver JDBC Adapter.
The client proxy program will fetch the master data related to equipment in plant maintenance module and will update the sql database through Receiver JDBC Adapter .
my requirement is if the equipement is created in sap then the scheduled job has to trigger the client proxy program and send the message with status 'created' to sql data base.
if the equipment is modified in sap then the scheduled job has to trigger the client proxy program and send the message with status 'modify' to sql data base.
please let me know how can i write the logic/code for this scenerio in client proxy program.
Tables for equipment master i am using is EQUI and fields are ERDAT and AEDAT which is created date and modified date.
fields for scheduling start date is tbtcp-sdldate.
Thanks in advance.

Issue with JMS inbound Adapter and Asynchronous BPEL

Hi Gurus,
I am facing the below issue with JMS inbound Adapter and Asynchronous BPEL .
I have 2 JMS Queues one inbound and one outbound . The Composite has multiple BPEL Components around 4 on an average and i have 4 composites similar to that .
Totally 4 Composites * 4 BPEL Components = 16 Services
Propoesd Solution :
I have used MessageSelector in the JMS Adapter for selecting the incoming message. The BPEL gets invoked if the message selector is true and proceses the Message and writes the response to the other Queue.
Initially i had no problems but intermittantly the BPEL processes are getting invoked but they are not processing the data ( Bpel process is supposed to invoke an external service and get the response in a sync call) and each BPEL processe instance is in running state for ever . This remains even if i restart the servers .
The message gets read by the JMS Adapter , BPEL instace gets created but it wont proceed futher and remains in the runnign state for ever.
If i redeploy the Composite then messages get processed but the issue creeps up again ( i tried to checl the logs but ino cluea about the issue .
Getting frustrated day by day tried the bpel.config.transaction, increased the JMS Adapter threads , inreased the worker threads but all in vein..
please let me know if any one has faced similar issue .
Anticipating a quick response from the gurus.
Lakshmi.

We are also facing this issue in 11.1.1.5.
Breifly the issue is : The BPEL process which polls an inbound JMSAdater ( consume_message) either stays in running state forever ( whatever we do) or go to the recovery queue. It doesnt recover even if i try to recover it. This happens intermittently. Redeploying the application / restarting servers sometime solve the issue but as know we cant do that on prod systems .
Can some one look into this on priority and help us giving a solution/workaround.

Receiver FTP Adapter - Directory create

Hello,
the XI FTP Receiver Adapter by default creates the target directory on the FTP Server if it does not exist. The J2SE Engine had an option if you want to create the directory or not.
Is that available in the XI 3.0 J2EE FTP Adapter? I could not find it. Further if that can be set, would the adatper throw an error?
Thanks
Stefan

Hi Stefan,
I'm facing the same issue, while trying to create a dynamic folder in the FTP server.
The FTP adapter failed with the error 'An error occurred while connecting to the FTP server 'ftpserverip:21'. The FTP server returned the following error message: 'com.sap.aii.adapter.file.ftp.FTPEx: 550 /root/dynamic/: The system cannot find the path specified. '. For details, contact your FTP server vendor.
Were you able to resolve this issue using any SAP notes?
Thanks in advance.
Thanks,
Joe.

Hi,
Did you fill in the field Object Name in the Define Application View page in the Publish Wizard of your Application in iStudio?
There you have to fill in the name of the Business Object to which the event is corresponding. This makes it possible for the adapter to find the Common View.
