Receive file content based on file Id/fileName

Hi,
I want to configure a scenario in XI that I can call via HTTP, pass the filename and receive the file conetnt of XML document.
Suppose I had created two structres, 1st is fileID, and 2nd is FileContent.
If i send the FileID/Filename, I should get File content based on FileId/Filename as output.
If I am doing HTTP to RFC, for BAPI-Company getdetail, I can fetch the data, based on the company ID, and can get company details as result,
I am doing Http to file, Now how shd i proceed with my case.
I send fileid/filename as input parameter, i shd get filecontent as output

Hi Varun,
i don't know how to do it in .Net
But procedure must be the same as that of java.
in java to develope web service we create a standalone EJB and expose it as a web service.
you will have a variable that will contain the path of the file.
then as return type take a variable of string type that will return the content of file.
Down load the WSDL of your webservice from WebserviceNevigator of your WAS,
Import it as a external defination in XI
Do the Required Mapping.
Thanks

What is the best way to merge a file content into log file

What is the best way to merge a file content into log file.
In worst case, I will read the file line by line as string, then use
logger.info(lineString)to output to log file.
However, is there better way to do this?
The eventual log file will be something like:
log message 1
log message 2
content from file line 1
content from file line 2
content from file line 3
log message 3
log message 4Thanks

Thank you and let me explain:
1. What do you mean by better?
I would like to see better performance. read line by line and log each line as string can be slow. Did you measure this and determine that it is actually a problem for your application? Or are you guessing?
Regardless of what you do you are still going to need to read the file.

2.The only better way I can think of is not having to do it, but I assume you have a very good reason to want to do this.
Yes, I have to do it beacuse the requirement is to have that file content be part of logging.
Any idea?How is it supposed to be part of it? For example which of the following is better?
        File AAA - contents
                   First Line
                   Second Line XXX
        Log 1
                2009-03-27 DEBUG: Random preceding line
                2009-03-27 DEBUG: First Line
                2009-03-27 DEBUG: Second Line XXX
                2009-03-27 DEBUG: Random following line
        Log 2
                2009-03-27 DEBUG: Random preceding line
                2009-03-27 DEBUG: ----- File: AAA -------------
                First Line
                Second Line XXX
                2009-03-27 DEBUG: Random following lineBoth of the above have some advantages and disadvantages.
The first in a mult-threaded app can end up with intermittent log entries in between lines, so having log lines with thread ids becomes important.
The first can be created by reading one line at a time and posting one at a time.
The second can be created by reading the entire file as a single string and then posting using a single log statement.

Query regarding file content conversion using file adapter

Hi All
I have a question regarding file content conversion in file adapter.
I have a file coming in the following format.
AA,111,222,333
BB,444,555,666
CC,777,888,999
My incoming message structure has a hierarchy. The CC record is a structure part of BB record. BB record is a structure part of AA record. It is like this:
AA,111,222,333
<<BB,444,555,666>>
<<<<CC,777,888,999>>>>
After file content conversion, in the resulted xml, i am getting a flat hierarchy instead of nested hierarchy.
Is it possible to get a nested hierarchy as a result of file content conversion?
Please let me know
Thanks
Chandra

Hi Udo
According to your suggestion, I am trying to use mapping.
I am getting a flat file and i am reading it.
This is my source structure:
AA,11,22,33
BB,44,55,66
CC,77,88,99
This is my required targer structure:
AA,11,22,33
<<BB,44,55,66>>
<<<<CC,77,88,99>>>>
To explain this, BB record can have multiple records of CC records.
AA records can have multiple records of BB record.
I am using removecontext node function.
CC (Source) (removecontext)-> CC (target structure)
But here, when i rightclick on source CC field in the mapping editor, i cannot see any other context except root node. So, how can i proceed here??
Many Thanks
Chandra

Read incoming EDI File content and FTP file on R/3 server based on value

Hi,
We have the below scenario:
The incoming file is received in XI in the below directory:
/usr/feeders//interfaces/EP1/abc
The file name is- TCDE.BLQSAM.OCAA2682.C0084031
The file contains some data like below:
UNBUNOA:3HEXAGON-ABCABC10268002090806:1004+403140015324'
UNH1CONTRL:2:2:UN:APACS'
UCI1000284217ABC10268002HEXAGON-ABC7+C00'
Based on this incoming file reference number in line 3 as given (1000284217) for example, a lookup needs to be made in R/3 in a table to determine if the file should be placed in directory A or Directory B in R/3 without any XML conversion.
I have made the scenario and the details are as below:
Created the new Mapping Archive in the IR and import this .jar
Created an Interface mapping for the Control File processing and select the mapping program from the archive
Created a Business Service called "BSY_ECC6_FI_CENTRAL" and a communication channel called "CCIA_01_RFC_RECEIVER", for the connection to the R/3 system of type RFC and will have to have the connection settings for the R/3 backend with the client which has the data in it for the FM call.
I have the java code that I can forward you for reference.
I am not able to run the scenario successfully.
Plaese advise as to how I can develop this scenario.

Archana

What i understand from your Qs is, you want to get the location where the file need to be placed from the table in R/3 system
based on the ref. no mentioned in source EDI file, and the target file should be placed as a flat file format.
You are using RFC lookup to get the details of the location in Java mapping, Once you have the location you can map it to the
element in payload and using varaible substitution you can specify the target directory.

Can we compare file contents of two files in the Application server?

Hi,
A file is generated daily to the application server. and i need to compare the generated file to the file generated on the previous day and prepare a report.
Can we compare file contents of two generated files present in the Application server?
If there is any alternative, please suggest.
regards
cs

yes we can compare if the app server is Unix.
cmp compare two binary files and report if different
cmp is silent if the files are the
     same;
if they differ, the byte and line number at which the first
difference occurred is reported.
REPORT ZUNIX line-size 400
                no standard page heading.
data: unixcom like   rlgrap-filename.

How to get the file content after uploading file

Hello everyone!
I have a question. Anyone can provide an example code by jsp that getting the uploaded file content after user uploading a file?
Your help is highly appreciated!!!

My experience is you need to do it twice: first read it to a StringBuffer and readline. Then write the file to server. See the code below
MultipartParser parser = new MultipartParser(request, 10000000);
Part part = null;
FilePart filePart = null;
File uploadDir = new File("/Uploads/");
if (!uploadDir.exists()) {
uploadDir.mkdir();
while(true){
     part = parser.readNextPart();
     if(part == null)
          break;
     if(part instanceof FilePart){
          filePart = (FilePart)part;
          filename = filePart.getFilePath();
          //You can do one of the following option. Here is read line to a buffer and display to screen
//if (filename != null) {
          //Do not store the file to server machine.
//long size = filePart.writeTo(uploadDir);
// System.out.println("The number of bytes written is "+size);
          reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(filePart.getInputStream()));
          String newline=reader.readLine();
          if(newline!=null)     {
          reconcileContent.append("<table border=\"1\"><tr><th>Destination ID</th><th>File ID</th><th>Rept Date</th><th>As of Date</th><th

File content conversion:move files to a new directory

hi all,
I have a file content conversion sender and receiver scenario.Now my doubt is: XI is running on sap27 server.Input file is being created by an ABAP program in r/3 and file being put in sap29 server.
In source directory if i am giving the sap29 path it is not working.Is there any way that i can write a OS command to move files from 29 to 27 before message processing ??
Any other option available??
thanks,
Nisheeta

hi,
Yes the basis people have shared the folder and they have mapped the sap29 folder into sap27 using I:\ drive
But the files are not getting picked....am i giving the source directory wrong??
I am giving I:\Folder_Name
suggestions needed

BPM/File Content and Dynamic File Name

Bit of a double whammy here!
I am running a BPM : R/3 Proxy > XI > BPM > File Adapter (x4)
All working to a point.....
The file I receive splits into two files, then I pass a Count file - number of records to a separate file and then a file that simply says "ready" on completion. Four files are:
Data file, Lookup (values and descripton for legacy), Count file and Ready file.
To top this off, it will be run for 12 separate countries so hope to use the country code to add to the file naming - so generating 48 files (if successful). Data_GB.dat, lookup_GB.dat, Count_GB.dat and ready_GB.dat etc....
The first three, I can do (with maybe a little help!), I have looked at the use of dynamic file naming and think I can do this, however, the count file uses the initial file sent, but the ready file passes across the word "ready" to destination file. How can I utilise the dynamic naming convention if I do not use the original file for this?
Also, the "ready" file is being created but it is empty. It is okay using the the File Adapter, but when I convert it, the file is empty (but still created!) IN sxmb_moni, it is showing correctly but once the file content conversion happens, it is empty!
Any thoughts?

Thanks Bhavesh.

File Content Conversion: Empty File

Dear Experts,
I'm doing a file to file scenario with FCC. My file gets picked up from the source folder but the communication channel doesn't send the file for processing ahead. This is the error I get in Communication channel monitoring:
Channel Send_Acceptance_File: Entire file content converted to XML format
2008-10-10 12:09:38| Warning |Channel Send_Acceptance_File: Empty document found. Proceed without sending message
2008-10-10 12:09:38| Success |Confirmation mode test found. File will be resent next time
I don't see any entry in sxmb_moni.
What could be the possible reason for this.
Thanks and Regards,

Hi Merrily
Problem is with your FCC.
Are you using Key field in FCC with and keyFieldInStructure as ignore?
This problem arises due to incorrect keys or Data type mis match for the record structure in FCC.

File content conversion in File-to-RFC without BPM

Hi,
I am using FCC for file to RFc scenario.
My input record is in the following format:
Header record
data rec1
data rec2
Trailer record..
The parameters are used in File content conversion:
Recordset Name : Header,item
Recordset Structure: Header,1,item,*
key field name : data1
and in additional parameters:
Header.fieldNames            HI,GenDate,Ftype,Fname,Fdate
Header.keyFieldValue       Fname
Header.fieldFixedLengths 1,8,1,50,8
Header.endSeparator        nl
item.endSeparator             nl
item.fieldNames                  DATA1,DATA2,DATA3,DATA4
item.keyFieldValue             item
item.fieldFixedLengths       231,240,241,120
item.lastFieldsOptional       YES
Can anyone check whether any parameters are left, b'cos the file is not being read with this settings. and in the C.C its just showing file processing successfully but not able to see the actual file.

Hi,
I assume you have header, item and trailer structure in source file.
Source Data Type will be as follows.
RecordSet
--> Header
      --> KeyField(Value OH)
      --> H1
      --> H2
--> Item
      --> KeyField (Value OL)
      --> I1
      --> I2
-->Trailer
      --> KeyField (Value OT)
      --> T1
      --> T2
Where Item Strucutre can come multiple times.
Please use following settings.
Recordset name: RecordSet
RecordSet Structure: Header,1,Item,*,Trailer,1
Key Field Name: KeyField
Header.fieldNames: KeyField,H1,H2
Header.fieldFixedLengths: 2,3,4
Header.processFieldNames: fromConfiguration
Header.keyFieldValue: OH
Header.LastFieldsOptional: YES
Item.fieldNames: KeyField,I1,I2
Item.fieldFixedLengths: 2,5,6
Item.processFieldNames: fromConfiguration
Item.keyFieldValue: OL
Item.LastFieldsOptional: YES
Trailer.fieldNames: KeyField,T1,T2
Trailer.fieldFixedLengths: 2,8,9
Trailer.processFieldNames: fromConfiguration
Trailer.keyFieldValue: OT
Trailer.LastFieldsOptional: YES

File content conversion for file with hierarchical structure

Hi
I want to read a flat file in the following message structure using file content conversion.
Message structure is :
01 ( occurence = 1)
_ 1B (occurence = unbounded)
_ 1G (occurence = unbounded)
_1H (occurence = 1)
_1N ( occurence = unbounded)
99 (occurence = 1, trailer record)
In short there will be one 01 ( header record) in file. There will multiple 1B records. Under one 1B record there will multiple 1G records. Under each 1G record there will be one 1H recoprd and multiple 1N record. At the end there will one 99 record.
File format : Fixed length
Data in the text file would be as follows :
01Test
1BF0001MS005 4855390859
1GF000172075F31501 GBPINV 040806

Is it possible to do above using file content conversion or is there any method to do it. Please suggest.
Thanks
Varun

you cant acheive this heirarchy using the file adapters cont. conv, cos it supports only to a single level.
Maybe you can have a module or use the conversion agent !!
Some good reads on the Conv. agent!!!

File Content Conversion CSV File

Hello All,
I have a CSV file in the below format.
a,b,c
And my content conversion works.
<1>a</1>
<2>b</2>
<3>c</3>
Sometimes I get the records in the file as
a,b,
My conversion is failing, I mean it give me file as
<1>a</1>
<2>b</2>
The last element <3></3> is not getting created.
I tried to use lastFieldsOptional its not working.
How can I achieve this.
Regards,

Okay Satish I will give a last try to explain you my issue..
my CSV file is like this a,b,c,d
my conversion works fine so the xml is after conversion
<1>a</1>
<2>b</2>
<3>c</3>
<4>d</4>
Now few rows in the file may come as a,b,c, there is no d value it is blank.
so I expect the conversion to be now
<1>a</1>
<2>b</2>
<3>c</3>
<4></4>
like this, but what I am getting now is after conversion...
<1>a</1>
<2>b</2>
<3>c</3>
tag <4></4> is not getting created and my Outbound expects the XML to be in that format, so for this I tried to use lastfieldsoptional so that empty <4></4> tag is created but no luck...
This is what I want to do..
In the process even though <4></4> is not created File Content Conversion is successful and so Adapter Monitoring is showing success and my mapping fails.
Regards,

How to add do not read file content option inside File Adapter (Synch Read)

Hi,
Is there any way, that I can skip reading the file content inside file adapter with operation as Synchronous Read ( I just want to read the file name and directory and if the file name matches with the input variables then I have to delete the files, for this i am using FA with synch read operation, everything is fine like deletion, but it is reading the file content and storing it in DB, i dont want this) .

This will solve your problem.
