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.

Hi Amit,
I went into Message Monitoring for this interface and I can see all the messages for the last 24 hours that should be written into a file that have status "to be delivered".
When I go into Details -->Audit Log for a single message:

Setting dynamic file name in Receiver file adapter - not from payload

Guys I just remember reading a weblog but can't find it now that I need it, on how to set the file name in message mapping dynamically but not using any payload field.
Please let me know if you remember this.
Thanks a lot,

Receiver File Adapter Not Executing OS Command

Hello All!
We are currently running PI 7.1 and wish to use a Receiver File Adapter to FTP a file to a mainframe and override the FTP system defaults.
Tried using the 'quote site recfm=fb lrecl=80' OS command but discovered that this would not work as the Adapter Engine is NOT on the mainframe.
Regrouped a bit and made a second attempt which involved writing a Unix script to ftp a file and override rthe system defaults. The idea was to use the File Adapter to FTP the data to the server, invoke the script and get the file to the mainframe with the proper attributes. The script when executed on the server works perfectly.
However, when the IDoc comes thru PI, the File Adapter ftp's the file ok but the script is never executed.
Any ideas why this is so or any suggestions?
Thank you.

Hi Ken,
Script only executes at Network File sharing (NFS) only. It dont work at FTP level.
So you can better write the file on NFS and then within the script to connect to ftp and do your processing.

Receiver file adapter not responding

Hi guys,
I have 2 interfaces in XI development system that make use of receiver file adapter in order to receive some .txt files. Although these communication channels used to work until yesterday, for some strange reason they stopped functioning, but only in development system. However, I cannot see any error in Runtime Workbench (Communication channel monitoring), it's status is "correctly configured and started" and has a green sign. But, when I sent a file from sender adapter, it is sent correctly, but it never gets received from receiver communication channel.
There is no error in SXMB_MONI either.
In XI production system, the same interfaces are functioning well.
Any ideas?

Receiver File adapter not able to handle the special Char

We have asynchronous interface from MDM file to CRM (Seibel) file. XI picks up the file from MDM and process them with transformation. It is observed that if the file contains the special character such as ®, it is not writing the output file. The trace is checked and it goes to the adapter framework to do the FCC but do not write the file.It marks the process as successful in SXMB_MONI. Any pointer will be helpful.
Thanks,
Samir

Hi,
Try with ISO-8859-2
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows-1250
see the last row in the above link.
Secondly to make sure if you are getting the correct char or not, just open the file in Internet Explorer and choose the correct codepage, then you see the characters correctly.

Receiver file adapter command line

hi,
i am just wondering how to use command line on receiver file adapter.
i am not clear how to use this.
please modify on the following command!
anyway, i have to call java application after put some files by receiver file adapter.
cmd.exe %Fjava ./javacalltest
it did not work..
please guide me.
Command Line
An operating system command specified here is executed before or after a file has been successfully processed. The default value is an empty character string (no command).
When the operating system command is called, the file name currently being processed can be specified with the following placeholders:
%f (file name)
%F (absolute file name including path)

Dynamic Filename on Receiver File Adapter

Hi,
I am running XI 3.0 SP 14.
The scenario is
SAP R/3 (IDOC) > XI (Receiver File Adapter)> FTP Server
There is no mapping on the XI side, we just drop the IDOC XML on to the ftp server.
I would like to configure a dynamic file name on the Receiver File Adapter where if the 'MSATZ' Field
within the E1EPD04 segment of the IDOC is populated then I would like to send a separate
Filename than the one specified on the 'File Name Scheme'.
Has anybody done this or any suggestion how I should go about this please.
Thank you.
Warm Regards,
Ranjan

Hi Guys,
When I tried to create the User defined function as below, I got the Null value for the "StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION" object.
My code looks like this,(this is part of the debuging code)
Start
public String Create(String a,String b,Container container){
if (container.getTransformationParameters() == null)
return "conf.null";
if (container.getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION) == null)
return "Dynamic.null";
return b;
--End
On the output I get the value "Dynamic.null". I do not know why the object value is Null.
Any suggestion pls.
Thank you.
Warm Regards,
Ranjan

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

Hi Expers,
I Have Gone through the link which is given bu Michal.
/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/11/10/xi-the-same-filename-from-a-sender-to-a-receiver-file-adapter--sp14
Here My Questions are.........
1.Should we give any file name in the receiver side Adapter in this scenario.?????
2.How wil be the Sender and Receiver Communication channel Parameters????
What Are they???????
Please Clarify me...
Regards
Khanna

Hi Rajesh,
Is your query related to sending the file name from the source xml document to the reciever file adapter. If so this can be achieved.
Pls. do the following.
1. In the mapping program that you are using populate the filename coming from the source into the target root element.
2.Sender adapters can write adapter-specific attributes to the message header; these can then be evaluated at configuration time
3. To change the adapter-specific attributes of the message header by using message mappings, you access the required classes of the mapping API by using a mapping runtime constant.
<b>Note: You donot need to specify any filename in the receiver communication channel.</b>
To access the classes DynamicConfiguration and DynamicConfigurationKey by using the mapping runtime constant DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION, use the method getTransformationParameters() of the container object.
Create an simple user defined function in the mapping and use the following code.
Imports: com.sap.aii.mapping.api.*;
Parameter: String filename
Paramter: String filename;
filename = fileName + ".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, filename);
return filename;
You donot need to hard code the value of the filename in the file adapter for your interface.
In SXMB_MONI, when you see the pipeline services you would see that the value of the filename is populated in the message payload.
Thanks

Archive processed files at receiver file adapter

Hi Experts,
I need to archive(copy) processed messages from the target folder to another folder.
I tried using the Run OS Command after processing and not sure with the exact command.
Can anyone please provide the exact command (syntax) for copying file from the target file folder to another folder.
Do we need any authorization from BASIS team to perform this command in run OS Commandline please.
Note: the original file should not be deleted.
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Mahakrishnan T.

hi Mahakrishnan Thangam,
I used the OS command feature where FTP is not used and it worked in the way I already posted. When it comes to FTP in receiver file adapter you need a batch file and a script both on PI server. The script will function as follows
1. Login to FTP server.
2. change to target folder you specified in target directory in cc.
command: cd foldername
3.Read the file created by receiver file adapter in remote FTP location. File will be copied to local directory of PI server.
command: get filename
4. Now again change remote directory to archive directory.
5. Copy the file back to FTP server again from local directory to archive directory you want to copy to.
Now from batch file call this script.
Would suggest to read these links carefully

Hope this solves your problem.

Acknowledgement from receiver file Adapter with out BPM

Hi Gurus,
I am trying to get Acknowledgement from Receiver file Adapter with out Using BPM.
Here is the scenario. I am sending files from different Sender Adapters. There is only one target that is File Adapter. After each successfull and failure transaction I need an Acknowledgement that needs to trigger another receiver adapter and send the the file name and timestamp to that file.
Hope this is a complicated scenario. Please help me.
Thanks,
Kevin

from sap note 821267
6. Acknowledgements
    * Q: Does the File Adapter support acknowledgements?
    * A: You need to distinguish system acknowledgements (indicating that a message has been received by the target system) and application acknowledgements (indicating that the message has been successfully processed by the application on the receiver side).
           The receiver of an XI message will only send an acknowledgement back to the sender if the sender has requested one. However, the File Adapter has no functionality that relies on the receipt of an acknowledgement, so it never requests one.
           On the other hand, if a File Adapter Receiver receives a request to send an acknowledgement, it will do so for a system acknowledgement request. Application acknowledgements are not supported at all as the File Receiver has no way to determine if the written file has been correctly processed by the back-end application, which is what a positive application acknowledgement would imply.
this means that your requirement is ideally not possible without a BPM

How to create an Excel file from XML in the Receiver File Adapter Comm Ch

How do I create an Excel file from XML in the Receiver File Adapter Communication Channel? I have my mapping done and I am outputting the file as a comma delimited csv file. However, the target can only process an Excel file (.xls). How can I generate an Excel in XI?
I saw this blog, but I don't know how to create a XSLT transformation.
/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/12/10/xi-generating-excel-files-without-the-java-nor-the-conversion-agent-not-possible
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Here are the steps I took to create an XSLT transformation in XI 3.0:
1. I created my source and target XSDs using XMLSpy.
2. I created the XSLT mapping from source to target in XMLSpy (referencing the souce XSD schema).
3. I created another XSLT mapping to format the target into Excel XML.
4. Import the source and target XSDs in the IR's External Definitions
5. Zip each XSLT mapping (.xls) and import it into the IR's Imported Archives
6. Reference the XSL mappings in the Interface Mapping

Problem with file content conversion in receiver file adapter

Hi All
I have a problem with file content conversion in receiver file adapter.
This is my recordset structure: Header_Record,1,Claim_Record,*,Check_Rec,1
These are the content conversion parameters:
Header_Record.fieldSeparator = ,
Header_Record.endSeparator = 'nl'
Claim_Record.fieldSeparator = ,
Claim_Record.endSeparator = 'nl'
Check_Rec.fieldSeparator = ,
Check_Rec.endSeparator = 'nl'
In SXMB_MONI, i can see that the data is correctly extracted from proxy, and correctly mapped to receiver message, and i see a checkered flag (success).
But, Adapter status is RED with the following error message:
Conversion initialization failed: java.lang.Exception: java.lang.Exception: Error(s) in XML conversion parameters found: Parameter '1.fieldFixedLengths' or '1.fieldSeparator' is missing
In communication channel monitoring, i get the following error message:
Message processing failed. Cause: com.sap.aii.af.ra.ms.api.RecoverableException: Channel has not been correctly initialized and cannot process messages
What is going wrong here? Can anyone please tell me?
Thanks

Problem with fixedlenthgs in receiver file adapter

HI,
I am doing XML to flat file scenario and using mutli mapping concept without BPM.
in the receiver file adapter I am using FCC with fixedlengths,then it generated just 3 output files out of nearly 100 source files.the errored one are succcessful in the SXMB_MONI and failing in RWB-->Message moni with waiting status and MDT says that XI_J2EE_ADAPTER_FILE ,Error Code PROCESSING_ERROR .
i tried in SDN and then found something like enable the disablesecurity check box in variable substitution parameters ,then I got 4 files out.
these are my FCC params for all structures:
struc1.fieldFixedLengths
struc1.fixedLengthTooShortHandling
struc1.endSeparator
and I tried with fieldSeparator then it gives successfully all output files.
so,where is the problem?I didnt understand?
any suggestion.
thank you,
regards,
Babu Sri

Bhavesh,
I felt the same way,but assumed that ,in that way fixedlenghths wont work.
in my target structure most of the fields have 0-1 occurences ,and even in the source structure too.so,I think it might be the reason.Then I have to make all my about 60fields 1-1 madatory and using mapWithDefaultValue function, as my sources are optional.
you think it will work just using the "mapWithDefaultValue" function without changing my occurences to 1-1 in the target structure(mandatory)?infact I can try but ,cos of pain for changing like 60 fields....:) and even dont know which fields are causing the problem,so that we can apply "mapWithDefaultValue" function only on those fields.
thank you,
Babu Sri

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.
Cheers,
satish
