Receiver File Adapter - Directory field - home directory

How do I populate the Directory field in the receiver file adapter if I don't know the directory. I want to use "home directory", but I don't know what that is. I'm sending a file to a IBM i5 OS.

I have already asked for the path. This is the answer I got.
Directory listings from FTP sessions are disabled. We use IBM i5 OS for the FTP server because it's immune to exploits aimed at Windows and Linux based servers. Since you can only "PUT" a file, it is analogous to a bank night deposit box (lots of companies can make deposits to this same metal box on the brick wall but none of them can use it to make withdrawals).

I am using the Filename variable in the adpater to be able to create dynamic filenames. However, the adapter is also trying to write out this value to the file. Is there a way of telling the adapter to ignore this field.
Thanks
Martin

Hi Martin,
It is possible to suppreess the file name if you are using content conversion, please check the this weblog...

Target Directory & File Name parameters in Receiver File Adapter with ASMA

Hi Experts..
I have the following question....
What am I suppose to inform in the Target Directory & File Name obligatory parameters in Receiver File Adapter if I am using ASMA to fill it? Is it any dummy value?
Also, if you have any step by step guide/blog to forward on how to use ASMA in file adapter I will be greatful.
Thanks in advance,
Daniela

You can give any dummy value in dir and file name... Just go through these blogs

Specifying current directory in Receiver File Adapter

Hi Experts,
I have been configuring a receiver file adapter to place a file onto an FTP server. As per the information provided, as soon as I login to the FTP server, I have to place the file in current logged in directory. In this case, how can I mention this in file adapter as to use the current directory path to place the file? What should I enter in 'Target Directory' in File Access Parameters?
Thanks,
Dhawal

Hi Praveen,
Since file directory parameter is mandatory, my question is what should I enter in this parameter so that the file adapter will know that the file should be placed in the root directory itself?

Sender_interface_name in Variable Substitution in Receiver File Adapter CC

Hi,
as per this page : http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/bc/bb79d6061007419a081e58cbeaaf28/frameset.htm
it says:
Variable Substitution (Target Directory/File Name Scheme)
If you set the Enable indicator, you can enter variables for the Target Directory and File Name Scheme. Enter the names of the variables and references in the table.
●      Enter each variable that you reference in the Target Directory and File Name Scheme fields without the surrounding percentage sign under Name of Variables in the table.
The variables can refer to attributes of the message header or elements of the message payload.
○       If the variables are to refer to an attribute of the message header, add the prefix message: to the name of the variable under Reference. You can specify the following attributes of the message header:
sender_party, sender_service, receiver_party, receiver_service, interface_name, interface_namespace, message_id, message_id_hex
Can we not access sender_interface_name and sender_interface_namespace are not mentioned in above list of variables.
Is it not possible to access sender_interface_name or sender_interface_namespace as variable substitute parameters from within Receiver File Adapter Communication channel.
thanks.

Yes, i can hardcode, thats not a bad idea, i need to create then 3 different Reciever File Communication Channel objects, as I am dealing with 3 scenarios for which sender system and sender interface is different.

yes in this link you provided i can see..
INTERFACE     Interface
INTERFACE_NAMESPACE     InterfaceNamespace
SENDER_SERVICE     SenderService
RECEIVER_SERVICE ReceiverService
RECEIVER_NAME     ReceiverName
RECEIVER_NAMESPACE     ReceiverNamespace
it seems both INTERFACE (,INTERFACE_NAMESPACE) and RECEIVER_NAME(,RECEIVER_NAMESPACE) are present, may be one is for sender, and another is for receiver.. may be if i use dynamic configuration, possibly my issue would be addressed.. correct me if i am wrong.
thanks.

Problem: The same filename from a sender to a receiver file adapter - SP14

Blog : /people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/11/10/xi-the-same-filename-from-a-sender-to-a-receiver-file-adapter--sp14
My Problem:
The thing works for me and i am able to get my input files name as my output file name. But one thing i noticed is that in my target message, the field where i have mapped the code it always returns the value "null" but finally when the file is created i get the required result.
My input file name is input.txt and i get the same name in my output file too.
In sxmb_moni if i check DynamicConfiguration link i see the following
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
- 
- <sap:DynamicConfiguration xmlns:sap="http://sap.com/xi/XI/Message/30">
<sap:Record namespace="http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File" name="SourceFTPHost">10.25.116.98:21</sap:Record>

<sap:Record namespace="http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File" name="SourceFileSize">770</sap:Record>
</sap:DynamicConfiguration>
But when i check my mapped field i see
<field3>BodyC</field3>
<keyfield>02</keyfield>
<field5>BodyE</field5>
<field6>BodyF</field6>
</Body>
- <Trailer>
<keyfield>03</keyfield>
<field2>null</field2> -> Null value instead of input.txt
</Trailer>
</ns0:MT_Putfile>
The code i have used to map the field2 of the trailer is the following ....
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container.getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File","FileType");
String valueOld = conf.get(key);
return valueOld; 
Any clues ?

Gosh this is spooky
Anyway i tried with that line of code but it throws me an error during activation ...
Activation of the change list canceled Check result for Message Mapping mm_IS | http://t-systems.com/Shabarish: Starting compilation Source code has syntax error: /usr/sap/TXT/DVEBMGS00/j2ee/cluster/server0/./temp/classpath_resolver/Map387c7300a9ac11da9d280011256afae8/source/com/sap/xi/tf/_mm_IS_.java:104: cannot resolve symbol symbol : method getTransformationParameters () location: interface com.sap.aii.mappingtool.tf3.rt.GlobalContainer DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container.getGlobalContainer().getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION); ^ 1 error

Thanx Renjith so far .. but i hope this gets resolved (else i will loose my sleep thinkin abt the situation)

Problem with File Content Conversion (Receiver FIle Adapter)

Hi Experts,
I have following structure in receiver side:
MT_Test
 F1
 F2
 F3
 F4
Now I want a CSV file in target side in below format:
F1,F2,F3,F4
I have provided below config in receiver file adapter under content conversion tab:
Recordset Structure : MT_Test
MT_Test.fieldSeperator= ,
MT_Test.endSeperator= 'nl'
But this is generating blank CSV files in target directory..What might be the reason.. I have checked the msg in adapter engine, the XML file is correct and contains valid values for the fields..Its something like below:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<MT_Test>
 <F1>Hai</F1>
 <F2>Hello</F2>
 <F3>Bye</F3>
 <F4>Hi</F4>
</MT_Test>
I should get CSV file as
Hai,Hello,Bye,Hi
But I am getting a blank file with above said config parameters in content conversion tab.
What might be the reason for getting blank CSV files in target side???
Thanks,
Adi

Hi Adi,
>>My target structure in below format:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
- <MT_Test>
<F1>Hai</F1>
<F2>Hello</F2>
<F3>Bye</F3>
<F4>Hi</F4>
</MT_Test>
So, try to edit Data type and include hierarchy level above <F1>.
Finally your Target Structure will resembles like this.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
- <MT_Test>
<Structure>
<F1>Hai</F1>
<F2>Hello</F2>
<F3>Bye</F3>
<F4>Hi</F4>
</Structure>
</MT_Test>
FCC Parameters will be like this.
Structure.fieldSeparator = ,
Structure.endSeparator = 'nl'
Hope you were clear.
Thanks,

XI Receiver file adapter : Dyanmic File PATH

Hi,
Appreciate if someone could help me on the issue below:
I have a receiver File adapter with a dynamic target directory as per below:
Target directory: /test/YYYY/MM/DD
the value for YYYY (Year) , MM (Month) and DD (Date) will be the date when the file being transfered from the sender.
Appreciate if someone could help me to achieve this. I know we can use the variable substitution however it doesn't allow us to set a systems field such as sy-datum.
Cheers,
ZAB

Hi,
Populate this value in your payload , and then use Dynamic File Name concept of File Adapter.
The dynamic filename generation concept is as follows.
In your filename field. just give a variable with % symbols. (eg: %file% ).
Now, under the option Variable Name Substitution, you can give how the value has to be created.
It can be your interface name, sender service name, etc or it can be some value dynamically from your payload.
For the former, your give
message:interface_name ,etc
and for the payload part you give,
Payload: "your element root which u wanna acecss"
Just check this link out,
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/bc/bb79d6061007419a081e58cbeaaf28/content.htm
And read the contents under variable substitution and it will help you understand the concepts better.
If you have any clarifications, do get back,

Output CSV File Naming Convention - Receiver File Adapter

Dear SAP experts,
I need help regarding my scenario.
My scenario is this, Customer will send EDI message to XI. XI will then translate the message and convert it into XML.. After, a Receiver File Adapter will receive the XML then convert it into .csv file.
I've already configured the Receiver File Adapter to convert the XML into .csv file.
But, my problem now is how will I configure to have my output .csv file has a File Naming Convention.
The output .csv file must be "CustomerName_YearMonthDate".
From the EDI message, there is indicated Sender GLN in which, each customer has its own Sender GLN.
E.g., Globus --> 200, Karstadt --> 300, Metro --> 400.
How will I configure so that I can have an output .csv file of,
If Globus sends the EDI message, the output .csv file is Globus_20080304.csv.
If Karstadt, Karstadt_20080304.csv.
If Metro, Metro_20080304.csv.
Kindly advise for a clear and complete solution.
Thank you very much for your usual support.
Fred

Hi Nisar,
My target message (XML) in the mapping is this,
- <ns0:CSV>
 - <SLI>
 <PERIO> </PERIO>
 <ILN> </ILN?
 <EAN> </EAN>
perio, iln, and ean was rooted on SLI field. and the CSV is the rootnode of the target message.
I have created a UDF on the message mapping to accomodate the output customer name, here is the codes:
String fname="";
if(GLN.equals("23456"))
fname ="Globus" +dat;
else if(GLN.equals("5678"))
fname ="Karstadt"+dat;
else if(GLN.equals("6789"))
fname ="Metro"+dat;
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container
 .getTransformationParameters()
 .get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create(
 "http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File",
 "FileName");
 conf.put(key,fname );
E.g.,
Globus --> 23456 (Sender GLN)
Karstadt --> 5678 (Sender GLN)
Metro --> 6789 (Sender GLN)
This UDF i've made in the Message Mapping was mapped in the root node CSV.
Is this UDF correct?
Then on the File Receiver Configurations, here are the configs,
Transport Protocol: File System (NFS)
Message Protocol: File Content Conversion
Adapter Engine: Integration Server
File Access Parameters
Target Directory: /var/opt/gsss/sample/csv
File Name Scheme: .csv

Kindly advise if my configs are correct.
Thank you very much!

The same filename from a sender to a receiver file adapter

Michal has provided us with a brilliant <a href="/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/11/10/xi-the-same-filename-from-a-sender-to-a-receiver-file-adapter--sp14. I guess a lot of people have been waiting to do this. However, I have a slightly different scenario. In this case, XI is used as a medium to transfer a PDF file from one directory to another directory. There is not transformation or mapping involved.
The message is send by File Sender Adapter and received by File Receiver Adapter. Message type is created as a simply type hexBinary. The file is supposed to be picked up as a PDF and received as a PDF, retaining the same file name. As such, the file name is neither stored in the source structure nor the target structure.
Once the PDF file is transfered into target directory, it should be able to be open by using Acrobat directly without further conversion.
We might add a file name file into the target structure but would that rendered the PDF non-readable upon being received by the File Receiver Adapter?
Any feedback is highly appreciated.

Hi
>>We might add a file name file into the target structure but would that rendered the PDF non-readable upon being received by the File Receiver Adapter?
No, adding file name would not hamper the properties. You can name *.pdf or something else.
For that matter any file pdf, word, .msg format etc can be transferred by this approach. We have tried it.
Earlier to SP14 you cannot give the same name to outgoing file without writing a Adapter module. But things are easy with SP14.

satish

Receiver file adapter posts multiples for singel source files

Hi,
I am using wild character in my input source ftp adapter but my receiver file adapter is creating multiple duplicate files. I am not sure why this happens as QOS is set to "Exactly Once" with archive processing mode. I tried with delete mode and the same error occurs. We had no problems testing it in our Dev environment but in QA its acting so strangely...Any advise is appreciated..
-Teresa

Hi,
2. Homany files you posted at oubound directory?
1. You said duplicate files at receiver side, is the files having time stamp? if so those are not duplicate files.
Thanks,
Satish.

Receiver File Adapter - FTPEx: 550 Access denied

Hi Daneial,
This is an issue due to any firewall or proxy between your Xi system and the FTP.In this case the direct logon
works with same user but when XI tries to create file at runtime you get this error due to network issues.
To resolve this contact your Basis/Network guys and
1. Set the permissions to FTP User you are using as 777 rights(full access to read , write and delete)
2.If you have access to PI server, try to telnet /connect to ftp using command prompt (open ftp .....) the FTP server form there, you should see the same error there , inform this to your network guys.
3.Clear all the files places already in the ftp (take backup) and test afresh after permissions are set by basis team.

FTP Receiver File adapter -- CRLF In output File in Windows environment.

Hi All,
Idoc to File : Receiver File adapter.
I use the endseparator 'nl' and the output file is coming correctly with NFS and It is not working when we are doing with with FTP.
Tested with NFS (Unix environment)
I used the endseparator 'nl' and the output file is coming with CRLF.
Tested with FTP (Windows environment)
When I tested the same the output file is coming with LF.
I tried by using the module "SAP XI Sample/ConvertCRLFfromToLF" which will convert from LFToCRLF.But it is serving my purpose.
Can anyone please suggest how I can get the CRLF in the file while putting in the output directory which is in windows environment.
Thanks
Seema

Do not mention endSeparator in content conversion parameters...by default XI puts newline as endSeparator
It should work for NFS and FTP on Windows

Receiver file adapter not functioning

Hi guys,
We have developed some interfaces that are exporting some .txt files in ftp locations and therefore they make use of receiver file adapter. Although the receiver file adapter used to function properly some days ago, for some strange reason, it stopped receiving any files. This happens only in XI development system but not in XI production system. In XI development, in Runtime Workbench --> Communication Channel monitoring, I can see this communication channel's status as correctly configured and started, with a green sign on the right, but it is not responding when some files are sent to it, and therefore there are no output files in target directory.
Any ideas?? It is urgent.
Best Regards
Evaggelos

Receiver File Adapter with File content Conversion

I have a requirement to send 2 different files to the target directory. Source is the same and different mapping for the 2 files.
This I can achieve through multi-mapping but there is a problem. How can I use the File content for receiver File adapter which is using Multimapping.
The structure of the 2 files also different.

Why would you need FCC on receiver file adapter? If you need different files to be generated from the source, you could create two receiver channels with different mappings and just add them to the same Receiver Detemination. Isn't feasible?
