Receiver File adapter encoding

Hi All ,
My scenario is
ABAP Proxy --> XI -->Flat file.
My receiver is flat file , comma separated to a NFS....
there is a character
ß in one of the fields of source payload.
When I am using UTF-8 in the receiver channel , this character is displayed in the File (in the Unix box using cat or vi) as +
I have tried with the other encoding options.. but unfortunately it is just just displayed as a dark black box for the other options .. just like this ▀ ..
Any Idea on how to solve this.
A note .. in sxmb moni the charater is displayed correctly .. that is ß .. both before and after the mapping.... so no problem within the integration server .. but the output file is not created with the correct character.
Thanks and Regards,
Himadri

The question is: What encoding do you want?
The file is in UTF-8, when you view it, your editor should be able to interpret UTF-8. You can view the file with a web browser and set the encoding to UTF-8.
When you want another encoding, for example ISO-8859-1, put this in the file receiver channel.
For more details check this guide:

Receiver File Adapter - Encoding issue.

Hi Everybody,
The file format (encoding) is different to the format generally we used to get.
Currently we are get the flat files in DOS format.The current file when we are downloading it we are getting it in the UNIX or other format.
For eg: 20 has been changed to 0D in the file.
Can somebody help me on the same.
Thanks,
Zabiulla

Hi,
Check on this for file adapters
Text
Under File Encoding, specify a code page.
The default setting is to use the system code page that is specific to the configuration of the installed operating system. The file content is converted to the UTF-8 code page before it is sent.
Permitted values for the code page are the existing Charsets of the Java runtime. According to the SUN specification for the Java runtime, at least the following standard character sets must be supported:
■       US-ASCII
Seven-bit ASCII, also known as ISO646-US, or Basic Latin block of the Unicode character set
■       ISO-8859-1
ISO character set for Western European languages (Latin Alphabet No. 1), also known as ISO-LATIN-1
■       UTF-8
8-bit Unicode character format
■       UTF-16BE
16-bit Unicode character format, big-endian byte order
■       UTF-16LE
16-bit Unicode character format, little-endian byte order
■       UTF-16
16-bit Unicode character format, byte order

Encoding issue in receiver file adapter

Hi experts,
I am having a file to file scenario using integrated configuration where i am using file encoding 'US-ASCII' for converting the target file to ASCII and its not working.
Is there any other settings need to be done in the receiver file adapter to convert to 'ASCII' encoding format?
Do we have any other method to convert to 'ASCII' format for the receiver file?
.txt file is used for this interface.
Thanks!

Hi Mahakrishnan,
What is the format of file mentioned in sender file adapter? If SAP-PI is receiving File format in US-ASCII. Then mention US-ASCII in sender communication channel in file encoding field,file type will be text. In case the file format received by SAP-PI is normal text file then by default sender adapter will convert it to UTF-8. Maintain the file type=text and encoding=US-ASCII for receiver file adapter also.
ASCII is an alias for US-ASCII file encoding, hence both mean the same encoding. Thus this format should work. If its still not working please refer to SAP note 821267.
Regards

Need to get the Mail attachment name as it is to the receiver file adapter

I am doing a Mail to File scenario. I need to get the attachment from the mail and store it on the file server. I am using the PayloadSwap bean in the sender mail adapter. My requirement is to carry forward the attachement name as it is to the receiver file adapter side and store the file with the same name.
Did any one try doing this? I was looking at developing an adapter module but got struck as I could not find whether the attachement name is stored in the XI payload after it has got swapped using the swap bean.
Any help would be appreciated.

Oops pressed the send key. Take two.
This is becoming a damn nightmare. When I run the adapter I am getting ModuleExceptions. Can you pass your eyes over these Java config settings to see what I am doing wrong.

Receiver File Adapter - FTPEx: 550 Access denied

Hi Experts,
In my receiver file adapter scenario I'm getting 550 Access denied in RWB.
I am a little confused here because I could access the FTP client from my desktop using the same User and Password informed in the Receiver CC. I also could drag and drop a file there.
Here you have Detail Display in RWB, it seems that at least the user is working fine for PI also:
Success: Connecting to FTP server "<FTP IP>"
Success: Write to FTP server "192.168.10.85", directory "\Transportadoras\10326750000101\", file "Nfe_teste.xml"

Error: Attempt to process file failed with An error occurred while connecting to the FTP server '192.168.10.85:21'. The FTP server returned the following error message: 'com.sap.aii.adapter.file.ftp.FTPEx: 550 Access denied.'. For details, contact your FTP server vendor.

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.

Receiver File adapter content conversion using StrictXml2PlainBean

Hi All,
For receiver file adapter i am using the module StrictXml2PlainBean, and also i mentioned the module configuration like this
parameter name parameter value

But when i send the idoc, The receiver CC is throwing an error
Message processing failed. Cause: com.sap.aii.af.modules.conversion.xml2plain.ConversionException: Invalid structure name encountered during conversion: Transaction at XML element MT_DeliveryOrder,Transaction
My actual structure is
MT_DelvOrder
 Header 0...1
 Transaction 0....Unbounded
 TransactionHeader 1..1
 TransactionDetail 0...unbounded
 TransactionTrailer 1...1
 FileTrailer 0...1
The module is checking for the Transaction node,but i require the rest 3.
Same configuration i have done successfully with FCC without using the module....
So can any one suggest me where i am missing... why the module is pointint towards, the Transaction cant i ignore this node . and continue with the rest???

Sridhar

Hi Rajesh,
The same FCC configuration was working fine with FCC and when i am using this module configuration i am getting the prob...
In the file i need the Header,TransactionHeader,TransactionDetail,TransactionTail,Filetrailer
my sample output file is
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ns0:MT_DeliveryOrder>
<Header>
</Header>0...1
<Transaction>0...Unbounded

 </TransactionHeader>
 <TransactionDetail> 0...Unbounded
 </TransactionDetail>
 <TransactionTrailer>1...1
 </TransactionTrailer>
</Transaction>
<FileTrailer> 0...1
</FileTrailer>
Any suggestions will be great help...
I think i need to go with other options without using this module....

Receiver File Adapter - File Content Converstion

Hi,
I have an xml-output (as a string) but I need to use the content converstion tool in the receiver file adapter to make this into one string without the nodes etc. Example of the format that i want the file to be in:
1AXXX10363501 00000013PC..........etc.
And I need each instance of SBR in a new row. How can I do this? Please tell me if things are unclear.
Example of the structure the file has now without content converstion.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<StockBalanceFlatfile><Rows><SBR>
<Type>1</Type>
<Mode>A</Mode>
<Owner>XXX</Owner>
<SKU>10363501</SKU>
<Quantity>00000013</Quantity>
<UOM>PC</UOM>
<Attr1>2476</Attr1>
<Status>0000</Status>
<Filller>----
</Filller>
<ELM>*</ELM>
<CRLF>CRLF</CRLF>
</SBR></Rows></StockBalanceFlatfile>
Best Regards
Claes

Claes,
Use the below content conversion parameters.
Content Coversion Parameters
Recordsetstructure StockBalanceFlatfile,Rows,SBR
Name Value
SBR.endSeparator 'nl'
If it doesn't help, reply back.

Receiver File Adapter - Content Conversion

Hi,
I don't quite get this:
I have a structure
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<AnElement1>
 <AnElement2>
 Bla bla bla
 </AnElement2>
</AnElement1>
I want to convert this to a flat file with a line containing
Bla bla bla
In te receiver file adapter I define the following:
In the 'Content Conversion Parameters'
Recordset Structure : AnElement2
Name Value
AnElement2.addHeaderLine 0
AnElement2.fieldSeparator 'nl'
AnElement2.endSeparator 'nl'
This results in an Empty file each time indicating some error somewhere.
What am I missing?
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
The code is :

//DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File","FileName");
//String valueOld = conf.get(key);
String valueOld = conf.toString();
return valueOld;
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,
Siva.

File Conversion error in Receiver File Adapter

Hi,
Check it - File adapter is active ? try to Re-activate the same.
Also do CPACache Refresh.
Still problem, tyr out by restarting the Adapter Engine.
I guess you're just trying to send all the data in your file record to a <data> element as a whole. If so, this blog will help you:
Configuring Generic Sender File CC Adapter
Under certain operating system platforms, such as Solaris, the APIs used by the Java Runtime (JRE) are not Unicode-aware. Consequently, the JRE needs to be configured to correctly interpret the character set it receives from the operating system.
This is configured through the "file.encoding" system property as well as the "LANG" environment variable.
Make sure you set "file.encoding" to a character set (such as ISO-8859-1) that supports the special characters you would like to process. This system property can be configured by appending "-Dfile.encoding=<encoding>" to the Java VM parameters section of the SAP J2EE Config Tool.
Additionally, you need to set the "LANG" environment variable to a locale that supports more than 7 bits, such as "de.ISO8859-1". The encoding you specify in the LANG environment variable needs to match the encoding set via "file.encoding".
You can persistently configure the environment variable by setting it in the profile $HOME/.sapenv_$HOSTNAME.csh of the <sid>adm user: setenv LANG de.ISO8859-1

FCC Parameters are required in the Receiver File Adapter

Hi ,
 Sorry for posting this question again.. my Structure is
MT_CADVICE_STRING
. . Batach -
1:Unbounded (Node)
. . .Header_String -
1:1
. . .Line_Item -
1:Unbounded (Node)
. . . .LineItem_String -
1:1
for this structure I'm geting data in the XML format.. .. my scenario is simple File to File scenario.. now i want to convert this XML to a normal Text file by using FCC in the Receiver file adapter..
and in the Receiver side i want the file in the bellow format: (each field i want to get in the separate line but at presnt I'm getting the continution of all lines I'm not getting the data in a separate lines..)
Header_string
LineItem_String
LineItem_String
Header_String
LineItem_String
so, any abody can help on this...
And in the Receiver Communication channel i keep the FCC parameters like as bellow :
RecordsetStructure : Batch,LineItem
Batch.fieldSeparator: 'nl'
LineItem.fieldSeparator: 'nl'
Batch.endSeparator: 'nl'
LineItem.endSeparator: 'nl'
For more information.. My source file is like bellow
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
- <nr1:MT_CADVICE_STRING xmlns:nr1="urn:Test.com:SD:CAdvice">

Hi jain
Provide as below definitely it will work,
RecordSet Structure : batch,Line_Item,LineItem_String
batch.fieldSeparator --- 'nl'
Line_Item.fieldSeparator -
 'nl'
LineItem_String.fieldSeparator --- 'nl'
All your fields will come in a separate line.

Conversion of XML tags in receiver file adapter

Hi All,
I am sending one xml file to receiver file adapter.
But in case of receiver side I need to change the tags in XML structure,
eg:
if source aml file has tag <NAME> then in receiver case I need to convert it to <FNAME>.
How will I achieve it?

Hi
I also have the similar query
The output message we get from XI has following format
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<ns1:name xmlns:ns1="urn:xiworkshop:changetag">
</ns1:name>
I want an xml with following format
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<name>
</name>
I need to write the file with with this structure and format using file adapter.
Can I do so in File adapter or mapping is required for the same?
Any suggestion would be highly appreciated(with points obviously )
Regards

New Line in EBCDIC file created by receiver file adapter

Hi mates,
I've configured the receiver file adapter to create a file in EBCDIC format by specifyin the File encoding 'Cp037'. When the file is viewed on the AS400 system using the command DSPPFM, it appears as a continuous text instead of line-by-line. I've tried specifying 0x0D(CR), 0x0A(LF), 'nl' as the endSeparator for the record type in content conversion, but no luck. Still the file looks like a continuous text.
I learnt from the following links that the New Line character (NL or NEL) in AS400 is Unicode '0x85'.
<a href="http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=4867251">OutputStreamWriter/InputSreamReader convert NEL to linefeed with Cp037 encoding</a>
<a href="http://search.cpan.org/~guido/libintl-perl-1.16/lib/Locale/RecodeData/IBM037.pm#CHARACTER_TABLE">CHARACTER TABLE</a>
But when I specify this '0x85' as the endSeparator, I get the error below as 0x85 (decimal equivalent 133) is not part of the standard ascii code i.e. basic 127 codes
Conversion initialization failed: java.lang.Exception: java.lang.NumberFormatException: Value out of range. Value:"85" Radix:16
Is there any way I can produce the EBCDIC file with new line as end separator for records?
I appreciate your inputs.
thx in adv
praveen

Instead of using binary mode for FTP and specifying encoding, endSeparator, I used the text mode and left the translation to the FTP server on AS400 system.
Desirably, it generated the file with right encoding and new line characters.
