Reading .MHT Files using Sender File Adapter

Hi Gurus,
I have a requirement to read a .MHT file extension with following format .
File extension is : C:\TEST\DGFAKTFRI.MHT
File content opens in HTML explorer as follows ...
;2333097;800;0;237546;3912875;"2008-09-11";"A";"E";" ";0;"8715 ";0;"8715 ";" ";"0001-01-01";"46994051 ";"DO";0;0;0;,00000;"0597656 ";2333097;"Jette ";"61922434 ";1;1;348,00;348,00;348,00;25,00;25,00;25,00;25,00;"K";1,0000000;261,00;65,25;261,00;65,25;"Nordjyllands Erhvervsakademi ";"Boghandel ";"Leder: Kim Lemvig Hagerup ";"Sofiendalsvej 60 ";"Aalborg SV ";"9200 ";"DANMARK ";"72 50 59 80 ";"72 50 59 89 ";"01";"173";"000";"481";"000";"655";"RSRAPPORT OG VIRKSOMHEDSANALYSE THOMSON";"ELKJu2019R & HJULSAGER ";" ";" ";" ";" ";" ";" ";" ";,52600;,52600;228;155;21;"9788761922434 ";" ";
This is just a single record for sample purpose and my file contains line entries with these content .
Now my question is how do we handle such file extensions ? Do we have to use Module processor ?
Or any other option is left as i am yet to check directly calling .MHT files using File Adapter.
Thanks in advance for help.

Hi Sitaraman
As per the description given it looks like a flat file with separator as ";". You can do an FCC using file adapter and give it a try. if complete file is uniform as look above then it will work fine and you can read this file else adapter module is the option to read such unstructured file.
Thanks

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.

Easy way of procesing files using sender File/FTP adapter

Hi experts,
In order to process files with a sender file adapter I am interested in avoiding processing non completed files. I mean files that are still being sent. My provider send an .XML file and when the sending is completed a .CTL file with the same name (and diferent extension).
So, my question is, wich of the nexts is the best?
-Implement an adapter module who recognizes the .ctl and then processes the XML file. -> Is there any standar module doing already that?
-Use adapter standart parametrization: Run operating System Command Before/After Message Processing, some advanced parameter?
-Doing nothing, PI only processes completed files (possible??), or if it processes a non completed you can retry.
-Other
Points for the best/easiest solution.
Regards
Gonzalo

Hi Gonzalao,
>>Implement an adapter module who recognizes the .ctl and then processes the XML file. -> Is there any standar module doing already that?
No there is no such standard module available in PI
>>Use adapter standart parametrization: Run operating System Command Before/After Message Processing, some advanced parameter?
Again this is not possible as only after reading a file it will execute OS commands
>>Doing nothing, PI only processes completed files (possible??), or if it processes a non completed you can retry.
No you can' take this risk (unless there is a OS lock on the file which is being written)
>>Other
so i will go for other solution like:
A batch program which will check whether a ctl file exists and if it is found then it will ove the .xml file to one folder (where pi is polling) and deletes the read ctl file.
This batch code will be made to run for say every 5 sec or depending on the frequency of the interface

How to get the filename in mapping when using sender File adapter?

hi Experts,
   I have scenario where XI reads the input file using Sender file adapter.
   The file name is configured in the communication channel.
   In my message mapping it is possible to read this file name?

Read uniquely named file. Sender File Adapter unsuitable for synchronous

Hi All,
We have a requirement to read a specific file that has a unique name based on a transaction ID. The transaction ID will be passed from the source application.
The communication is required to be synchronous. There could be multiple requests/files generated and present at the directory at any given time but each corresponding to a specific transaction ID. If the file is not yet generated for that transaction ID we return back an error to the calling system.
I think we can not use Sender File Adapter - because of the dynamic naming and also because we have to return a synchronous response back depending on the file availability. i.e. We can not have a defined pattern in the file name nor can we specify a wild card as there could be more than one files in the location.
In theory we could use the File Sender adapter to read all the files in the directory and a BPM with correlation set based on the transaction ID and let the process wait for the request. But as far as possible I want to avoid this unnecessary wait or extra demand on the system. More so because the files could get big.
If I were using a tool like SAP Business Connector or webMethods then I would I used a readFile Java service and given it a filename to return the required bytes in a synchronous read.
Is something like this possible in XI? If someone has written a synchronous Java to read file can they share the code? Or do you suggest I write a ABAP server proxy to read the file? The problem however will be how do we map the data to a XML within the code.
All suggestions welcome. There has to be a simple and effective solution to this mundane requirement !
Wishing all SDNers a bright start to this new year,
Thanks,
Charu

"The transaction ID will be passed from the source application so we know what file to pick"

Hi,
You could make the scenario a little simple and avoid custom development if the logic can be put into scripts(out of XI).
Say all the files are coming into a directory called D1.
Here, you could use a script to arrange all these in an order (say ascending) and move the first file into another directory D2.
The sender file adapter would poll this directory D2. The adapter can have a wild card character for the filename field now.
Once the file is in XI, you could check this against the transactionId present(I am not sure how you get this though!), and determine whether to send a mail, or to send a file back.
Here, I have assumed that there is somekind of order present in the files placed in the directory D1.
Again, this is just a suggestion.. I might be wrong with all the assumptions.

Reading a multiple record types from a single File using BPEL file adapter

Hi all.
We have a requirement where we want to read a CSV file using the BPEl adapter.
Following is the sample of csv file
HDR,1,2,3
---- First transaction starts----
TH,1,2,3
RSD,1,1
RSD,1,1
TD,1
-------Second transaction starts---
TH,1,2,3
RSD,1,1
RSD,1,1
RSD,1,1
RSD,1,2
TD,1
TD,1
-------------Third Transaction starts---
TH,1,2,3
RSD,1,1
TD,1
TD,1
TD,1
TD,1
-------------Fourth Transaction starts---
TH,1,2,3
LN,1,1,1,1,2
-----End of File---
TAIL
I have modified the file with some comments to have some clear understanding.
Basically our file is a transactions file from legacy system & contains mutliple transactions
First line will be a Header record starting "HDR" & contains all summary details about the file.
After it is details of all transactions thorughout the day, each transaction begins with record starting "TH".As shown in all transactions above.EAch transaction can have other multiple records like the RSD & TD shown above.
Our need is to read each transaction from the file & create an instance.How can we configure BPEL to grab the data starting with TH till it encounter's another TH.
Please advise
Krunal

You can't use the wizard to create a schema if a file as complex as this. the good news is that you can create one yourself. What you need to do is create standard xsd that will handle your file, then what you do is add the terminators that determine when a field stops.
Here is an example, hopefully this provides you enough infor for you to make your own.

ADF mobile: how do I upload a file using the rest adapter api

Hello,
I want to upload files using the rest adapter. How would I upload files such as pdfs, images (png, jpg ..) etc.. Some code would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Thanks Frank,
The back-end is functioning in the following way (using Jersey and handling input streams):
    @POST
    @Path("/uploadFile")
    @Consumes(MediaType.MULTIPART_FORM_DATA)
    public Response uploadFile(@FormDataParam("file") InputStream uploadedInputStream, @FormDataParam("file") FormDataContentDisposition fileDetail) {
        String uploadedFileLocation = "D:\\temp\\uploadsTest\\" + fileDetail.getFileName();
        // save it (this function reads from the input stream)
        writeToFile(uploadedInputStream, uploadedFileLocation);
        String output = "File uploaded to : " + uploadedFileLocation;
        return Response.status(200).entity(output).build();
     Is there a way to send data over a stream?
     Thanks,

Additional Files in Sender File Adapter

Hi
I have to collect 2 files (IN.txt, IS.txt) and attach 2 files as an attachment to mail.
So I opted Additional Files in Sender File Adapter
Source Directory = D:\usr\sap\pitest\LoadTest\Output\Invoice
File Name = IN.TXT
Additional Files
File List <IS.TXT>
<IS.TXT>.namePart               ".TXT"=".TXT"
<IS.TXT>.optional                  NO
<IS.TXT>.type                       TXT
But I am able to Pick only one file (IN.TXT) from the Source Directory.
IS.TXT file is not at all picking.
Please give me your suggestion.

I reply just want to close this issue.
if file Name = Item.TXT and additional file name is ItemText.csv then configuration as following.
File List <Item.TXT>
<IS.TXT>.namePart               ".TXT"="Text.csv"
<IS.TXT>.optional                  NO
<IS.TXT>.type                       TXT
for namePart parameter, we should give the str which need to be replaced. for your example, we could give as <IS.TXT>.namePart               "IS.TXT"="IN.TXT"
replace all the file name.

How to Create a Flat File using FTP/File Adapter

Can any body done workaround on creating the Flat file using FTP/File Adapter?.
I need to create a simple FlatFile either using of delimiter/Fixed length. using the above said adapters we can create XML file, i tried concatinating all the values into a single String and writing into a file, but it does not have proper structure
Can any body help me out on this..
Thanks
Ram

You can create a text schema while creating a File Adapter. If schema is specified for File Adapter, it takes care of converting XML into fixed length or delimited format.

Archiving TXT files in Sender File Adapter--Unformatted Way

Hello,
I am Archiving TXT files thru Sender file adapter, files are getting archived to specified directory.No issues in that.,
When i open the archived files, those are not in the correct format way that i placed before file pickup.
Header & lines got messed up side by side.
Regards

Hi,
If the file that it being archived is not transformed, it should exactly be the same as the original file.
Please make sure that you are not transforming the archive file by any means(unix script, mapping logics etc).
As suggested above, it is advisable to open the file in the editors like textpad, ultraedit etc. The difference in the alignment could be because of the notepad editor.
Try to open the original and archived files in any of those(textpad,ultraedit etc) editors and check.
Please let us know if you are still able to find the difference in the alignment.

Subbu

How to download / read text attachment in Sender Mail Adapter IN XI

DSR

I would like to know how to download / read text attachment in sender mail Adapter & sent same
attachment to target system using file adapter.
Take help from this blog:
/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/12/18/xi-sender-mail-adapter--payloadswapbean--step-by-step
From the blog:
However in most cases
our message will not be a part of the e-mail's payload but will be sent as a file attachment.
Can XI's mail adapter handle such scenarios? Sure it can but with a little help
from the PayloadSwapBean adapter module
Once your message (attachment) is read by the sender CC, you can perform the basic mapping requirement (if any) to convert the mail message fromat to the file format.....configure a receiver FILE CC and send the message...this should be the design...

Trigger file in Sender File CC

Hi All,
I have a query regarding the usage of trigger file in Sender File CC.
I am triying to pick .XML files only if respective .trg file is existing. My question is when ever there are 10 files where 9 are completely written and have respective .trg but 10th file still being written(which does not have a .trg file), the other 9 files are also not getting picked.it is waiting for the 10th .trg file throowing an error. But in real time these are dynamic files, when one is completed there may be other file being written. Is there any possibility to pick the 9 files which have .trg and leave the 10th file to be written completely and pick that in the next polling.
Please find the below attachment of configuration.
Kindly post your solutions on this.
Thanks & Regards,
Sandhya

Hi
If i understand correctly your 10th file is placing into the folder and it was not completely placed yet.For this as suggested you need to use File Modification Check.
Coming to trigger file,once your files are ready (File Modification check success) then using some background job, we used Autosys tool to place the trigger file then PI will pick the files.There should be a gap between the background jobs which places actual data files,trigger file and polling of PI channel.
Please try with SAP SFTP adapter which has more functions compared to normal FILE.In Case of SFTP you no need to use any modules for the payload conversion.
Thanks

How to filter emails using sender email adapter

Hi,
Does any one know how to filter emails of mail server using Sender email adapter(POP3 protocol ) in PI .
To make it more clear let us assume that there are 10 emails in the email server then 3 emails should be fetched for Interface A , 3 emails Should be fetched for Interface B and remaining 4 emails should be ignored and left in the email server as it is , the reason for this is that it is not related with the Interface A or Interface B. Any suggestion or solution will be much appreciated.
Thanks & Regards
Prabhat

Hi,
I guess you didnt get my requirement clearly. My requirement is how to filter emails from email server using sender Email adapter in POP3 protocl and pass it to relevant Interface.
For ex: suppose email no.1 is related to Interface A then it should go to Interface A
or email no. 2 is related to Interface B then it should go to Interface B
or if email no. 3 is junk mail then it should avoid deleting that email and leave that email as it is
The problem/challenge here is that email adapter of Interface A or B reads it first and deletes the email message so it is not available for the Interface A or B.
So I just want that sender email adapter should filter it before deleting email from the email server.
Can you provide some solution for this?
Thanks & Regards
Prabhat

XI scenarios using Sender RFC Adapter

Hi Forum,
I am eager to know what kind of XI scenarios use sender RFC Adapter, can u give an example,
does this mean........executing a RFC in a R/3 system and the result of the execution goes to XI.....or,
does this means, like a sender JDBC Adpter, from XI, triggering execution of a RFC on a R/3, and getting back the result into XI............
can i have a step by step blog to create such a scenario....
thanks and regards

Hi Sudeep,
Sorry for late reply.
Yes the 2nd reply was for receiver RFC.
1. As i mentioned To configure Sender RFC you need TCP\IP connection. in that connection you will use the option registered server program and will mention a program ID there.
2. Sudeep just remember, please configure RFC sender on XI side first and give a Program ID there, gateway service, host and login of your R3 system. Program id can be any string your name also. and please dont forget to activate the channel before going to R3 side.
3. Then configure RFC in R3 side, and mention that same program id. mention your gateway host as R3 name or IP and you can get the gateway service from Tcode smgw. it must be something like smgw<xx>.
and for ur information the program id is nothing but an identity on which basis the R3 system will search that which server object is active using that program id.
4. when you will write a report to execute that RFC in background, use Commit work as last statement.
Please let me know if you want any further information.
