Question about file conversion in the sender file adapter

Hi, all.
I am trying to get the file adapter to parse a file. The message type is the following:
JOB
   Msg 0..1
      Transaction 0 ... unbounded
         Data   0 ... 1
            f1 string
            f2 string
How would you define the recordset name and recordset structure to produce the same structure in the converted xml. I tried:
recordset name : Msg
recordset structure : Data, *
But the transaction is missing. I tried:
recordset name: Msg
recordset structure : Transaction, *
Then the data is missing. Note that the actual data in f1, f2 ... are loaded successfully though.
Thanks,
Jonathan.

Hi, Hareesh
I agree. But that is how it is defined now by someone else. It is hard to change it as he defines the same structure on the receiving side. I didn't want to change the receiving structure as it touches the proxy code too. So I want to make something short and sweet.
Basically the data looks like this:
11,222
55,666
The result xml should be something like:
<JOB>
<Msg>
     <Transaction>
        <DATA>
           11
           222
        </DATA>
     </Transaction>
     <Transaction>
        <DATA>
          55
          666
        </DATA>
      </Transaction>
</MSG>
</JOB>
I know either the DATA has no meaning and it's giving me a headache ... but that's how it's done and I don't want to rock the boat too much. There are lots of mapping that I have changed otherwise.
Thanks,
Jonathan.

Question about X-series with the bundled 65W adapter, gets very hot

Hi all,
My company purchased many X230 notebook in last year.
some are standard configuration (i3 CPU) and some are (i5 CPU).
The i3 seems to have no problem.
However, the i5 model had some issue that it can't full run all the 4-core in high load when connecting the bundled 65W AC adapter, and the adapter got hot. After investigation, we change to 90W AC adapter and the problem is gone. All the 4-core runs correctly and the 90W AC adapter is cool.
The reseller said that the 65W should be factory package and they will not provide any warranty if we use it incorrectly with the 90W adapter (but the lenovo homepage says the adapter supports....).
Now, we are considering the X230i model with the same upgrade to i5 CPU.
Can someone provide feedback if using the X230 / X230i + i5 CPU normally with 65W AC adapter?
Regards,
Donald

Could this be the same or related issue?
I have a T430s with integrated graphics and dual core i5 CPU. According to Lenovo sales literature this system will work with a 65W AC adapter. Also when I ordered the system online from Lenovo's site I was also given the option to select either a 65W or 90W adapter.
At the office I use a 90W adapter. The system idles at under 40°C with the fan usually not spinning or spinning at slowest setting (according to TPFanControl) even when the system is under load. It may get as hot as 50°C when the system is under heavy load. But I've never seen it overheat or had the fan spin continuously at maximum speed, etc.
When travelling I use a 65W adapter in order to minimize size and weight. In that situation the fan is always running and temperatures are usually in the 50°C to 60°C range. On more than one occasion system temperature has "run away" getting increasingly hotter, going to 80°C or 90°C.
In one case the system shut itself down. I let it cool down overnight. When I rebooted I got a fan error. After that incident I sent the T430s to Lenovo for repair. The technicians found nothing wrong. From their report it's not clear if they replaced the fan or not. Nevertheless this "run away" temperature situation has recurred since then.
From reading posts on this thread and based on my experiences with the T430s it seems to me that the 65W adapter doesn't have enough power for even a basic T430s despite what Lenovo's marketing literature may say.
I wonder if the same conclusion doesn't also apply to your systems? Do your temperature issues go away when your system runs on a 90W adapter?

Duplicate message handling in the sender file adapter

Hi,
I enabled duplicate file handling check in the sender file adapter so that whenever there is a duplicate file it should send me an alert also it should disable the channel so that i do not get that duplicate file alert message again and again.
My question is will it activate the channel again as soon as a new file arrives or do i need to manually do that.
Michal's PI tips: Duplicate handling in file adapter - 7.31

Hi Hema,
You will have to activate the channel manually. The idea behind the 'disable' functionality is to avoid further file processing through that channel which can only start once the channel is activated again manually.

Issue with the sender file interfaces when using UTF-8 files

Hello experts,
     We are having number of File to SAP interface scenarios in our business process. In the past, we are having the files coming to us in ASCII text format. Recently, because of the business process change(to handle multiple languages like Chinese), we are getting now the same files in UTF-8 format. So, we have changed the attribute File Type in the sender communication channel from Binary to Text and used encoding format as UTF-8.
Now, when we see the processed files in PI, we are missing the Header record in the message. For example, we have the PO interface in the following format:
Identifier     Information
H     PO header information
I     PO Item information
I     PO Item information
Once the file adapter picks this format kind of file and when we see the XML message in PI, it is just having only two Items information. The header part is not coming to PI at all and the message is trying to get processed inside SAP and therefore interface is failing.
Additional observations made:
u2022     We have checked the Document Offset field value too; it is initial for the interface.
u2022     We added an empty line in the UTF-8 text file, it worked fine. But, this is not an ideal solution for us, because the system which generates these files, canu2019t handle it.
   Does any one has observed this kind of problem before? If so, can you please help me ...
Thanks,
Adithya K

Thanks for all the information. Currently i've tried to use both modules (TextCodepageConversionBean and XMLAnonymizerBean) in my Sender File Adapter, but for now without any result...
To describe the situation: i am using flatfiles which i am fetched from the file system (NFS) by the Sender File Adapter. To translate the characters to the XML strucutre, the File Content Conversion protocol is been used.
The content conversion defines the structure base on the first two characters on each row in the flat file. This worked fine till one of our suppliers is delivering BOM characters like "EF BB BF" in the beginning of the file.The content conversion is not able to recognize my header characters in this situation, which will normally start with "01".
Any suggestions?

How to process a text file (mail attachment) using the sender mail adapter?

File Name in the Send Port with PGP Encryption

Hello,
The File Name in the Send Port should be set with the mask like ABC.txt.pgp. Since I have used the PGP Encryption Component it is generating the File name like ABC.pgp.txt.pgp. But what I need is just the ABC.txt.pgp. How can be this be done. Any help is
greatly appreciated.
Thanks

What you are seeing is the expected behavior. If you are referring to this:
https://code.msdn.microsoft.com/windowsdesktop/BizTalk-Sample-PGP-ebcbc8b2
or one of it's derivatives, it will internally modify FILE.ReceivedFileName to append .pgp if that property is set.
So, if you use just %SourceFileName%, you will likely get the desired result. Otherwise, you will have to explicitly set FILE.ReceivedFileName to ABC.txt somewhere before the PGP component.
You can also modify the source code to remove this behavior.

Limiting the number of files being picked up by the sender file adapter

We are running a file adapter to collect xml files from a legacy system in a shared network location. The files are picked up, information is sorted and mapped, and then sent to a proxy on our CRM system to store the data. Very simple and not-complex.
Our initial data load will consist of somewhere in the neighborhood of 900k records, which is killing CRM.
A co-worker with a bit more experience was telling me that he believes there is a way to limit the number of files that will be pulled per iteration of the file communication channel. If this is the case, can someone share with me the parameters that need to be set?
My apologies if this is a duplicate post - I have tried to look for a good answer in the forums and have come up empty.
We are running PI 7.1, and I believe it is SP 6.
Thanks in advance for the help,
Ben

Hi Ben,
There is no standard way to limit the number of files to be processed by the communication channel.
On the Sender File CC, there is a parameter " Maximum File Size" which restricts the files bigger than the specific size, but this is just a prevention not a solution.
If you have a single big size file, then somehow you have to create small sized files out of it.

Skipping the content conversion if the input file is an xml file.

Hi,
My source folder contains both text files and xml files.
I want to skip the content conversion if the input file is an xml file and the same Content conversion as to work if the input file is a text file.
Is there any way to achieve this?
Regards
Divia

Hi,
I think u hv to create 2 separate Communication Channels.............. 1 for XML (without Content Conversion), & other for TXT with Content Conversion.
In 1st CC give file name as *.xml & in 2nd give file name as *.txt

CUT parameter in the content conversion of the Receiever File Adapter

Hi,
I have mentioned the CUT parameter in content conversion in the receiver file adapter, it is working fine. The only problem is it inserts one blank line in the file. Is there any way to remove this blank line other than running script.
Your help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Prateek

Hi Prateek,
If your File Content COnversion is Row Level(not in field level)?
i.e fieldSeparator = 'nl' if so try like this-
endSeparator = 0
Hope it will remove the blank line.

Accessing the sender file name in the response email

Hi,
I have an asynchronous proxy scenario wherein I am calling an outbound proxy within an inbound proxy.
Basically a file is sent from an external partner and response is sent back to them if there are any errors. Also email notification will be sent and that email should include the sender file name so that they can know which file is erroneous and can resend that file after making changes. Any help will be appreciated.
Many Thanks.

Hi,
Have a look just two threads below yours !!
File recr Adapter : How to set target directory based on sender interface ?
See "Adapter-Specific Message Attributes" for a Sender File Adapter
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/e3/94007075cae04f930cc4c034e411e1/content.htm
I suppose your flow is:
1. File -> PI -> proxy_req     (request)
2. proxy_resp -> PI -> Mail   (response)
Thanks to "Adapter-Specific Message Attributes" ofr a Sender File Adapter, you will be able to store filename in DynamicConfiguration and then you will able to use a UdF to catch the source file and provide it somewhere in your proxy_req.
After for the returned flow "2. proxy_resp -> PI -> Mail   (response)", your proxy_resp has to returned to PI the filename providen with the 1st step.
And then, In PI you will be able to send by email the source filename.

Get File name of the inbound file during mapping

Scenario: to read the file name of the inbound file (which has date required for the mapping) during runtime.
The requirement is to read the date of the inbound file (passed to the XI pipline by the file adapter) and populate the same in the outbound mapping structure.
Any idea about how to do this?
(I went through few options of using java.util.map. not successful yet)

Hi Anand,
I posted the same question a time ago, without any help....
Can I find out the full filename of input file in message mapping?
Posted: Nov 23, 2004 1:00 PM
I have in XI 2.0 the following scenario :
In the inbound fileadapter I read my input file. The filename of the input file is part fixed, part variable (Like INDATA01.txt, INDATA03.txt, etc).
So in my Adapterconfiguration, I specify the filename with a wildcard (INDATA*.txt).
What I now want to do, is in my Message Mapping use the full filename , so I can do something different for every filenumber. Is there a way where I can get the full filename available in my message mapping (I did not find the filename in the XML in the message trace).

How to transfer input file into XI through sender file adapter

Hi
I am quite new to XI. Want to know how I can transfer a file into XI through sender file adapter. I dont have any input file, so I have to create a sample input file and I want to transfer that into XI. Can you please advise me of the steps involved in that. I have finished work in design and directory, now I want to push file the sample file into XI. The receiver adapter is an IDoc adapter. And also a very trivial question. How I can place my sample file into my source directory. Thanks

Hi Rajiv,
If your transport protocol is NFS then you need to put the file in the XI server. Because it becomes the Network File System. For that you can just type the ip address of the XI server in the "run" command or in the browser with "
" then in any of the Folders you can paste your file. But ensure that this is the path you give in your Sender File Adapter.
If your transport protocol is FTP then you need to see that ftp is running in your system. for that go to Control Panel>Add/Remove Programs>Add/Remove Components. In that check the IIS server and go to details and see that ftp is also checked. Now ftp is running in your system.
Now open your C:> drive >InetPub>ftproot . and create a folder here and paste your file. In the configuration of your File sender adapter just mention the name of the folder.
For your information, you can create a file with xml tags and namespace and message type manually (or) you can directly get it from the test tab of message mapping and generate source code.

How write the Outbound file name in the Inbound file

Friends,
I have a scenario like this.
Outbout filename - sample.txt
In sample.txt, i have having data like 20
Inbound filename - vivek.txt
i need data the like sample, 20
(NOTE: sample is the outbound file)
How to get this scenario.
Thanks in advance.
regards,
Vivek.

Hi Vivek,
If your PI is of SP14 and more you have an option called Adapter Specific Message Attributes.(ASMA) in communicatoin channel configurtaion, Which will help you in capturing the Sender file name during runtime.
So you will have to enable that option (ASMA) in Commchannel and capture file name in UDF using Java Code with the help of sap related API and map it to the target field which u would like to get populated.
follow the thread it has the discussion about acessing the Source file name.
