Reading Files from an FTP location based on Timestamp

Hi,
I have a requirement of reading files from an FTP location. The files should be read in the order they were saved in the folder. Can someone tell me how to solve this?
Thanks,
Ravi

Hi Arik,
Thanks for your reply. I tried doing what u said, but it isn't working. My requirement is to List the files in the folder using FTP adapter and get the file name with the least file stamp from the FTP adapter and pass the FileName dynamically to another FTP adapter which reads the file based on the FileName. When i tested after including the property (for listing the files) you mentioned, it is giving the following error (copied from flow trace):

Read file from FTP server (passive mode)

HI,
I want to read a file from a ftp server. I can do it by OpenStream() and read the file contents as a stream. But the ftp account is set as "PASSIVE Mode", so how to set it to passive mode and access the file ? Any thoughts?
Thanks,
thb.

Hi,
Thanks for your speedy response. How to set the PASV parameter, with the InputStream reader. Currently I am reading a file that is active thru. flg. steps.
InputStream is = new URL("url").openStream();
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(is));
Then, I am writing the stream contents to a file. So how to set up the PASV parameter?
Thanks.

Extracting .xls file from an FTP site

Hi there,
I'm trying to run a DI solution that is extracting a file from a FTP site. DI can see the file but it gives me an error saying that:

Thank you.

Hi,
thats SP1 for DS XI 3.2
I think there is no delta from XI 3.2 to XO 3.2 SP1 what means you have to do a fresh install and upgrade repo.
But you better doublecheck before but i think there is no delta.

Why does the new operating system not delete the moved files from their original location - it seems like an enormous waste of space, time and effort to clean up every file once you've moved it

Why does the new operating system not delete the moved files from their original locations - it seems like an enormous waste of space, time and effort to clean up every file once you've moved it - also, when transferring large amounts of files it becomes a very large problem remembering which files were transferred and which not.

You're going to need to be more specific, as I'm not quite sure I understand what you're talking about.
If you're referring to copying from an external hard drive or flash drive, and you want to actually move files rather than copy them, you can hold down the option key to force it to do a "move" rather than a "copy." This is not new behavior, though... the Mac OS has worked this way as long as I can recall (and I've been using it since 1984).
If you're having a problem with trying to move files from one place to another on a single drive causing them to be copied instead, that is likely because of some permissions issue preventing you from actually being able to move them.

Reading files from a mapped drive

Hello,
I am trying to pull image files off of a network share in Oracle Forms.
Everytime I do this, I get error FRM-47109 Cannot locate image file..... i
have tried accessing this drive with 2 methods:
1. Button trigger calls with READ_IMAGE_FILE(:datablock.imagelocation ||
:datablock.filename || '.tif', 'ANY', BLOCK7.IMAGE_ITEM);
2. Button trigger calls with READ_IMAGE_FILE('\\server\images\'
||:CRASH_IMAGES.folder || '\' || :crash_images.docno ||'.tif',
'ANY', 'BLOCK7.IMAGE_ITEM');
Both of these calls work on the development side where the T:\ drive is mapped.
When the form is put on the production server with the same T:\ drive mapping,
the image is unable to be located.
I have also found Microsoft article Q122702, which explains how network shares
are distributed to services. I have edited the registry key
RestrictNullSessAccess to a value of 0, and remapped the drive using: NET USE
T: \\server\images /user:Administrator password.
None of this has worked for me so far, and I have been informed of possible
issues with forms and mapped network drives. Has anyone seen this before or know of a fix?
Thanks,
Jordan

I'm not too familiar with Windows user accounts.
I'm having this problem of not being able to read files from a mapped drive.
Using 10.1.2 Forms Service on a XP machine.
How do i check to see which user is running the forms service and/or how do I change the settings a user has access to?
Check in server-info and User/Group: #-1(1)/1, what the heck??
Thanks.

PI sender communication channel not reading files from NFS directory

Hello,
I have a sender communication channel configured to read file from NFS directory which is on ECC server. A program in ECC generates the file and puts it on the ECC server in the output directory. PI sender communication channel is supposed to pickup this file and process it. If I give the NFS path as the source directory, I am getting error: Configured source directory '//Server/DIR/OUT' does not exist. I tried putting '
Server\DIR\OUT' too but same error. Do I have to add the NFS path of ECC into PI as logical path?
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Sangita

Hello Sangita,
Your ECC server is an external system, therefore you need to activate FTP service in that system and use the transport protocol FTP:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/e3/94007075cae04f930cc4c034e411e1/content.htm
You can use NFS protocol when you have a local directory in XI server.

Error -36 when attempting to copy files from an FTP

I recently got a new macbook pro, but am having trouble retrieving files from an FTP server I used to use with my old iMac with no problems. Whenever I try to copy the files from the FTP to my computer, I get Error Code -36 about being unable to write the files. I know it's not a problem with the FTP server because I was able to retrieve the files with a computer running Windows. Any idea how to fix this problem? I have it when using CuteFTP as well as the standard Mac FTP access through Finder.

Try the Unix forum under OS X Technologies. Additionally, use the built in ftp command.

Extract .xls file from an FTP site

Hi everyone,
Can anyone assist with this, I'm trying to extract an .xls file from a FTP site. The system I'm currently working on has no SAP application installed, we are using Microsoft SQL server as the target database and there is an FTP site which contains the .xls/.csv files and Data services as a ETL tool. The error I'm getting is 'FTP could not transfer file </DI_TEST/DATA_TO_IMPORT_1.xls> from host <www.servername.com>: <T>. Please ensure that the FTP relative path for the SAP server working directory is set correctly such that the data file is accessible to the FTP program. Also, ensure that the target path, where the transferred file is written to, is correct.'
Do I need to have SAP installed to use this functionality?
Currently to make this work, I wrote a .CMD file to do the GET ftp code and I then call this with a DI script and it works perfectly. Isn't there a way I can do this independant of the .CMD?
I'm sorry for bring this up again, I know I had a similar thread before. The reason why I closed it is that I did it using .CMD, I would prefer if I can do it with DI without using .CMD.
Thank all for your help.
Kind regards,

Reading file from a folder : File dir = new File(URL+aFile_to_add);

Hi,
Trying to read files from a dir on my site using a JSP and bean. I've tried nearly every option for the filepath I can think of and it doesn't seem to be finding the file...
Here's the bit:
String URL = "images\\wedding_photos\\";
File dir = new File(URL+aFile_to_add);
String[] files = dir.list();
It's working locally, but I obviously had to change the path from c://... to the above.
The full code is listed below in the addWedding Method
The method removes the .jpg from the file name and then writes the new file name to a database
Thanks for any insight.
Regards
Jim
public String addWedding(String aFile_to_add)
String feedback = "unset in scrubWedding";
try
String URL = "images\\wedding_photos\\";
Class.forName("org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver");
java.sql.Connection connection = java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://localhost/rhwedd2_shop?user=**********&password=*******");
java.sql.Statement statement = connection.createStatement();
File dir = new File(URL+aFile_to_add);
String[] files = dir.list();
if (files == null)
feedback = "Sorry, couldn't find the file "+aFile_to_add+"...no files have been added.";
else
for (int i=0; i<files.length; i++)
// Get filename of file or directory
String filename = files;
String no_extension;
//convert string array element into a char array
char [] charsfilename = filename.toCharArray();
int newlength = charsfilename.length -4;
no_extension = String.valueOf(charsfilename,0,newlength);
filesAdded = filesAdded+", "+no_extension;
// Show the new file names in stack trace without extension
//System.out.println("String no_extension " + no_extension );
statement.executeUpdate("INSERT INTO items VALUES ('"+no_extension+"',5,'"+aFile_to_add+"')");
// write to table with item_id and weddingid
feedback = "The following files have been added..."+filesAdded;
if (statement != null )
statement.close();
if ( connection != null )
connection.close();
catch(Exception e)
feedback = "Into the catch";
e.printStackTrace(System.err) ;
return feedback;
}//end addWedding

String URL = "images\\wedding_photos\\";
File dir = new File(URL+aFile_to_add); ok, ok, I'll answer...
1) What gives you the impression that the relative directory "images\\..." exists (or, in other words, what makes you think your current directory is the parent of "images"?

Open Data Set Error while trying to read file from non SAP server

Hi all,
is it possible to read data from non-SAP application Sever?
I'm using OPEN DATASET p_filin FOR INPUT IN LEGACY TEXT MODE CODE PAGE '1504',
Where p_filin is other Windows server.Our applicition server is under Unix.Is it a problem?
I make test to read file from SAP application server and it was ok.So how to call other server?
Thanks!

Hi,
Yes it is possible to read data from a non SAP server through the statement OPEN DATASET.
The important thing to check is that the SAP Server got enough access to the non SAP server so it can perform a reading/writing process depending on your needs.
You should contact your network administrator and BASIS to help you check the permissions. This can be pretty tricky, specially if the servers are in different domains.
