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.

File adapter configuration parameter for "hexadecimal conversion"

(File adapter for XI 2.0)
Does anybody know the exact File adapter configuration parameters for reading a file with hexadecimal control characters as seperators. My file has
3 types of seperators - i.e "2F", "05" & "0D2F"
Eg: xml.fieldSeparator= "2F"
When I specify this the file is getting split into fields
at all the seperators in the file. I guess I am not using the right format in my defination ?
Dorai

Is there any special format for reading a file containing hexadecimal control characters?
The file to be processed has hexadecimal separators:
Field Delimiter : '09' or '05'
End of record delimiter: '0A' or '25'
End of Table delimiter : '07' or '2F'
Initially i would like to read the file into XI as it is i.e without any split by using "xml.fieldFixedLengths= "
However, everytime I process the file(with hexadecimal contol characters), I have noticed that my file is getting split, even when I did not specify anything for field separator(i.e when i used fixed field length).
Thanks,
Dorai

File Adapter: Advanced selection for source file

Hi Experts,
I am doing file(Idoc format) to IDoc scenario. In my scenario I am getting files in three different formats (ex: abc.dat, xyz.dat, 123.edi). My communication channel (sender file adapter) should poll for every 30 mins, picks up the files and map them to Idoc without any mapping.
Need following clarifications:
1. Should I create 3 communication channels to pick up 3 different type files? Or should I use the Advanced selection for source file to pick up them with only one CC?
2. If there is no mapping how should I proceed in this case?
Regards,
Rams

>>1. Should I create 3 communication channels to pick up 3 different type files? Or should I use the Advanced selection for source file to pick up them with only one CC?
Not required.. if all the files are from the same directory then u can specify . in the file name parameter.. but make sure that only these 3 file types are places in the directory... if this is not the case you can use Advannced Selection... check my Wiki [Single Sender File CC For Multiple Directories|https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/XI/SingleSenderFileCCForMultipleDirectories]
>>2. If there is no mapping how should I proceed in this case?
Mappiing is required only if the source and the target structure are different.. if u send the file with the IDocc XML format mapping is not required...

Unable to configure file adapter using FCC for Multilevel hierarchy

Hi Experts,
Can anyone help me in configuring the Receiver file adapter with FCC for the structure given below
<Root>
<Level1>
     <Ele1>
     <Ele2>
     <Level2>
            <Ele2_1>
            <Ele2_2>
            <Level2a>
                    <Ele2a_1>
                    <Ele2a_2>
            </Level2a>
     </Level2>
</Level1>

Hi dineshmale,
I have do this Multilevel hierarchy before. FCC can directly configure this scenario. But I don't know you output format. What my format shown below(here i use '#' instead of space):
Level1_Field1##Level1_Field2##Level1_Field3##Level2_Field1##Level2_Field2##Level3_Field1##Level1_Field2
#################################################################Level3_Field1##Level1_Field2
#######################################Level2_Field1##Level2_Field2##Level3_Field1##Level1_Field2
#################################################################Level3_Field1##Level1_Field2
Level1_Field1##Level1_Field2##Level1_Field3##Level2_Field1##Level2_Field2##Level3_Field1##Level1_Field2
#################################################################Level3_Field1##Level1_Field2
#######################################Level2_Field1##Level2_Field2##Level3_Field1##Level1_Field2
#################################################################Level3_Field1##Level1_Field2
#################################################################Level3_Field1##Level1_Field2
FCC Parameter:
Recordset Structure: Level1,Level2,Level3
Level1.fieldSeparator = (2 spaces)
Level2.beginSeparator = (some spaces according to the length of the fields in Level1)
Level2.fieldSeparator = (2 spaces)
Level3.beginSeparator = (some spaces according to the length of the fields in Level1and Level2)
Level3.fieldSeparator = (2 spaces)
Level3.endSeparator = \n
There are some points:
1. the endSeparator for Level1 and Level2 doesn't work.
2. the first begin separator in Level2 and Level3 doesn't work.
3. The last field of super node and the first field of child node is separated by the (child).fieldSeparator.
4. ....
What's more, I have write a blog of FCC For Hierarchical Structure in Receiver Channel just now. So it need two days for Approval. Let me know for any issues.

File Adapter: Is it possible to track files?

Hello XI community,
I've a scenario where the sender and receiver is the file adapter using NFS. When XI picks up the inbound file from a certain directory with a wildcard name like "T_xxx*" is there any chance to see the original name? In addition I'd like to know how to find out the relationship between the inbound filename and the outbound name which is actually created from the file adapter like "xxxxx_timestamp.xxx". The files I'm using are binaries so I don't use the file content in anyway. They are just passed through XI. But I'd like to track the files to be able to know which input file belongs to which output file. Maybe some of you know where to see this.
Thanks in advance
/Michael

File Adapter does not process the same file twice

SOA: 11.1.1.4 (non-HA).
I have a file adapter that triggers when a new file gets to a directory; the file is not deleted after the process triggers.
The process is supposed to call other services via a mediator and if any remote fault happens it should rollback automatically and re-trigger with the same file at the next polling interval.
I have literally 3 scenarios:
1). The file gets picked up once, the process fails and the file is never picked up again.
Msg in log: The file : /xx/xx/xx/abc.xml is being ignored as it has already been processed
2). If the mediator only routes to one service after the file gets picked up, it works as expect (that is rollback and restart at the next polling interval). If it has more than one sequential routing rule, I see the same error as above.
3). File does not get picked up EVEN if I "touch" or rename the file.
Msg in Log:
File Adapter ProcessName Poller enqueuing file for processing :/xx/xx/xx/abc.xml
File Adapter ProcessName Ignoring File : abc.xml as it is already enqued for processing.
I have already checked, there is no permission issue.
This is what my .jca file looks like:
<adapter-config name="getFile" adapter="File Adapter" wsdlLocation="getFile.wsdl" xmlns="http://platform.integration.oracle/blocks/adapter/fw/metadata">
<connection-factory location="eis/FileAdapter" UIincludeWildcard="*"/>
<endpoint-activation portType="Read_ptt" operation="Read">
<activation-spec className="oracle.tip.adapter.file.inbound.ScalableFileActivationSpec">
<property name="DeleteFile" value="false"/>
<property name="MinimumAge" value="5"/>
<property name="SingleThreadModel" value="true"/>
<property name="PhysicalDirectory" value="/xx/xx"/>
<property name="Recursive" value="false"/>
<property name="PollingFrequency" value="20"/>
<property name="IncludeFiles" value=".*"/>
<property name="UseHeaders" value="true"/>
<property name="MaxRaiseSize" value="5"/>
<property name="ListSorter" value="oracle.tip.adapter.file.inbound.listing.TimestampSorterAscending"/>
</activation-spec>
</endpoint-activation>
</adapter-config>
Thanks for looking into it in advance.
Any help with the error messages will be appreciated.

You have to use MOVE operation, if there is any remote exception occured, then move the file to someother folder and again move back to the same folder where the file pickup will start.
In that way you will be use the same file picked up next time when the polling happens.
It is considered good etiquette to reward answerers with points (as "helpful" - 5 pts - or "correct" - 10pts).

File adapter didn't read the whole file

Hi folks,
we use the file adapter since 1 year and in the majority of cases it works fine. But sometimes the file adapter didn't read the whole file. In SAP we are missing some parts. Funnily enough in this cases he archive the whole file and not only the executed parts . Know anybody whats the reason of this effect and how we can solve it?
Kind regards Johann M.

Johann
I think you miss understood me/I didn;t explain myself very well....
If you take the file that doesn't work/process correctly, can you replicate the issue where the whole file is not copied across.
If you can, you should be able to extend the FTP/File adapter trace file to find the cause if this issue.
Log onto Visual Admin.
     Services
     Log Configurator
     Locations
     Choose the location (Java package) and the tracing level (severity)
(for example, com.sap.aii.adapter.file)
     Root Location > com > sap > aii > File
     Set the severity and choose Copy Severity to Subtree
Run interface and then check the trace file - remember to switch this back to Error...

File adapter - how to make shure a file is complete for sender/receiver?

Hi everybody,
I want to use the file adapter and a question arises for both sender and
receiver:
On the sender: How does the PI know when a file is complete for reading?
Can this be a problem (PI starts reading the file when it is not complete?)
On the receiver: How does the receiver know when a file written by
PI is complete? Does PI support some kind of write to tmpfile then rename
schema?
Thanks for any suggestions
Best regards
Stefan

Hi Stefan,
On the sender: How does the PI know when a file is complete for reading?
Can this be a problem (PI starts reading the file when it is not complete?)
Yes, it could be a problem: Have a look at below from help.sap
Advanced Mode
To specify additional parameters in the adapter configuration, set the Advanced Modeindicator.
● Msecs to Wait Before Modification Check
Enter the number of milliseconds that the adapter must wait before it checks whether the files have been changed.
This parameter is not available if you have selected File Content Conversion as the Message Protocoland then made an entry under Recordsets per Message that splits an input file into several messages.
This parameter is applicable only for the File adapter. If you enter a value in this field when configuring the sender FTP adapter, it will have no effect.

Carlos

Advantco SFTP for retaining source file name

We are using Advantco SFTP adapter in a File to File scenario on both sender and receiver side. We have 2 files to be picked from Source (both with different name) and need to place them on receiver directory with the name that we picked from source directory without conversion. Can anyone suggest how we can do this using Advantco SFTP adapter without using JAVA mapping ?
Thanks,
Pankaj Kumar Singh

Hi Pankaj,
use the ASMA parameter "File Name" in sender channel and ASMA parameter "File Name" in receiver channel.
this is worked for my scenario.

File Adapter to iSeries IFS "Configured source directory does not exist"

Good day, All
We are using PI 7.1
I need the PI file adapter to pull a file off of an iSeries(AS400) IFS folder directory.
I'm able to configure the file adapter to pull off files from the PI server C and D drives.
I'm able to configure the file adapter to pull off files from other network drives.
But the iSeries IFS folder keeps coming back "does not exist".
I've configured the Source Directory with / and with \ and it doesn't help.
I am able to navigate to the folder while logged into the PI server as the server admin.
I've tried mapping a drive on the server to the IFS folder but that doesn't work either.
Please help!!!
I've wasted too much time trying different settings on this already.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Chad

Dear Chad,
Please go through the following SDN link :
- Configured source directory .... does not exist was suppressed
give the write permisson to the directory for everyone group and check if that helps.
Also, kindly go through the following links :
1) http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/XI/TroubleshootingtheFile+Adapter (point 2)
2) Not able to read files from Windows directory to Unix Server using NFS
which might give some hints in solving your issue.

Sender FTP Adapter, text mode should convert source file?

Hi !
We have a Unix file system where systems and people drop files to be captured by XI. XI runs also on another Unix system.
We configured the Sender FTP comm channel from XI to use the TEXT mode, to have converted the captured file to Unix TEXT (eol = 0x0A), no matter the format of the file used to transfer the source file to the XI polling folder.
But we noticed that TEXT or BINARY modes in sender FTP adapter works all the same, like binary.
What are we doing wrong?
Thanks,
Matias

No. to see the difference put a gif and give txt in file adapter you will get an error for the same file u use binary it works.
their is difference b/w these . if you use special characters like european then you need to use UTF-8 or UTF-16 or bigInidan if it is binary then you output will junk charaters for these sysmobls

How to create empty text file on target system for empty source text file

Hi All,
I have an issue in handling empty file in the Text (FCC) to Text (FCC) file scenario. Interface picks text file and delivers on target system as text file. I have used FCC in both sender and receiver CCs.
Interface is working fine if the source file is not empty. If the source text file is empty (zero Bytes), interface has to delivery an empty text file on target system. I have setup empty file handling options correctly on both CCs.
But when I tried with an empty file I am getting the error message 'Parsing an empty source. Root element expected!'.
Could you please suggest me what I need to do to create an empty text file on target system from empty source text file?
Thanks in Advance....
Regards
Sreeni

the problem is that when there is an empty file there is no XML for parsing available. Hence in case you are using a mapping it will fail.
What ideally you should do is to have a module that will check if the file is empty and if so write out an XML as you want with no values in the content/fields.
Or the next choice would be to have a java mapping to handle this requirement. I guess that on an empty file the java mapping will go to an exception which you can handle to write out your logic/processing

Sender File Adapter-Content conversion for a tab delimited file

Hi all,
I have a FIle to IDoc scenario, where the File is with the structure Header,Detail,Trailer.
Header and Trailer are with fixed field lengths, whereas the detail records are tab delimited.(Functional spec says delimited by H'05').
I have given the parameters as follows:
Header.keyFieldValue     H
Header.fieldFixedLengths     1,1,4,1,8
Header.fieldNames     a,b,c,d,e
Header.endSeparator     'nl'
Detail.fieldNames     a,b,c,d,e,f
Detail.fieldSeparator     '0h05'
Detail.keyFieldValue     LOA
Detail.endSeparator     'nl'
Trailer.fieldFixedLengths     1,1,8
Trailer.fieldNames     a,b,c
Trailer.keyFieldValue     T
ignoreRecordsetName     true
In SXMB_MONI, I get the payload with just the Header and Trailer and not the detail records, even though my file has so many records in it.I m pretty sure, this happens because of my Detail.fieldSeparator parameter.
Can anyone please help me with this?What is the correct value for this parameter?
Thanks a lot in advance!
Anjana.

first of all make sure with a hex editor that the hex code of the delimiter sign is really 05. This is an odd character, as the normal tab is hex 09.
when you have confimred it, check online help for file adapter config for the correct entry of hex codes. I think it is something like '0x05',

File content Conversion Issuse for a Sender File Adapter

Hi All ,
             I am working for a Migration project , so my File structure will be as follows
<HEADER>
      <DATA1>
     <DATA2>
     <DATA3>
   <HEADER>
<ITEM>
     <ITEM1>
     <ITEM2>
     <ITEM3>
<ITEM>
WHERE i do have flat file will be as follows
10001,20081902,US
10,soda,1
30,soda,4
40,soda,5
10002,20081902,US
10,steel,1
30,steel,4
40,steel,5
how to pick this file using FCC from sendere flat file adapter without keyfields , and i can use fixed length also

Sridhar,
You can use a work around like this. Create a generic Data Type something like below.
<Message Type>
   <Recordset> - root node
      <ROW> - element with occurence 0..unbounded
Now create an outbound MI with the above MT, in FCC in sender file adapter, give Recordset structure as ROW, *
This way , you will read the entire file inside XI as an XML like below
<ROW> header record </ROW>
<ROW> item record 1 </ROW>
<ROW> item record 2 </ROW>
<ROW>....</ROW>
In XI , since your header row & item rows are fixed length, now, you can use that in a UDF in your message mapping , or parse the xml using DOM parser in Java mapping, you should be good. Hope this helps.

Handling EDIFACT Files in File adapter without going for Seeburger adapters

Hi Guys,
Is it possible to convert the EDIFACT files into XML using File content conversion?
We got some requirement where we need to exchange EDIFACT files like DESADV and ORDERS with our partner. I know we can handle these EDI formats using Seeburger adapters like BIC,AS2.
I'm just wondering is it possible to handle these files using FCC in File adapter or Is it recommended to go for Seeburger?
Thanks
Deepthi

Hi,
its better to opt for seeburger for EDI data processings..
