Receiver file adapter - support for attachments

Hi,
Is it possible that the reciever file adapter can process a message with attachment and generate two files, one for the main payload and the other for the attachment?
Thanks,
Amol

Amol,
Only File Sender adapter is capable of handling attachments not the receiver.

Attachments for receiver file adapter

Hello gurus,
I think receiver file adapter does not support attachments. But I do have a scenario where I receive additional files as SOAP payloads accompanying the request message and I have to write them to a network directory. How can I achieve this?

Dynamic File Name for Receiver File Adapter

Hi All,
How can we use dynamic name for Receiver file adapter?
Can anyone help.
Thanks in Advance
Chemmanz

Hi Chemmanz,
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,

Receiver file adapter with attachments.

Hi
I would like to pass a file receiver an attachment from a proxy. I have seen bits and pieces with attachments. I have read that its similar to the mail adapter.
In the module
localejbs/AF_Modules/PayloadSwapBean
module configuration:
Parameter Name: swap.keyName
Parameter Value: payload-name
Has anyone succeeded and would you explain the details?
Thanks in advance
Ian

Hi,
As far as I know, receiver file adapters do not supprt attachments.
You can use the payloadSwapBean to swap the attachment and the actual proxy payload and then send it to the file adapter.
Don't think it will be possible to send both the attachment and the payload to the receiver file adapter though.

Bhavesh

Configuring Receiver File Adapter for J2SE

Hi All,
I have a scenario in which i need to convert the IDOC data into a fixed length file.
I did mapping according to the output structure of the file.
My Output file format is as follows...
Document1 document2 document3 etc
Each document contains different fields with different lengths
In XI-FIle adapter we give Recordset structure : Document1,Document2,Document3.
But while configuring Receiver File adapter in J2SE.
There is no option mentioned in J2SE Adapter.
http://saphelp.border-states.com/EN/95/bb623c6369f454e10000000a114084/content.htm
Please throw some light on the same.
Thank You
Regards,
Reehan

as far as i read the document, what i understood is that the J2SE adapter has a limitation.
your XML structure should be as mention in the link;
To convert a table in XML format to pure text format, the document format must be the same as that which is generated by the sender file/FTP adapter in mode FILE2XMBWITHROWCONVERSION (with the default value <row> for the structure) and the sender JDBC adapter. This means that the document structure looks like this:
<resultset>
<row>
<column-name1>column-value</column-name1>
<column-name2>column-value</column-name2>
<column-name3>column-value</column-name3>
</row>
<row>
<column-name1>column-value</column-name1>
<column-name2>column-value</column-name2>
<column-name3>column-value</column-name3>
</row>
</resultset>
This is an example for 3 columns and 2 lines. The number of lines and columns is, of course, unlimited. The XML elements in italics can be defined by the user and the elements of a line must be grouped within an element of type <row> </row>.
So cannot take the recordset structure as we have for the normal File adapter.

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.

OS Command for receiver file adapter

Hi Guys,
I have a requirement that in the target folder before putting the file, I have to rename the exisitng file then put the file. The target folder is in another machine and I have to use FTP option to send file.
is it possible to use OS command after processing option in the receiver file adapter to do this? please let me know how to handle this.
Thanks
Mukesh

Mukesh,
You cannot rename the file in the FTP folder. What you can do is write a OS script where it logs in into the FTP site and renames the file. Then use this OS script before message processing so that it renames the file before you write the actual file.
If you want to rename a file which is on the applicaiton server using NFS then you can directly rename it from the command prompt.

Keep attachments in receiver file adapter

Hello,
We receive via Abap proxy a txt file by attachment, and we need to archive that file in other machine using a receiver file adapter but the receiver file adapter doesn´t have any keep attachment option. How can we achieve that?
Thanks!
Luis

Yes, I thoug that was possible but in fact the attachment is intended to be something that should be not accessed from the integration server and so not mapped.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/b6/0b733cb7d61952e10000000a11405a/frameset.htm
I think that the adapter module will be the better choice.

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

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

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
Processing Parameters
File Construction Mode: Create
- Overwrite Existing File
Write Mode: Directly
File Type: Text
Variable Substitution --> ???
Adapter Specific Message Attributes
- Use Adapter-Specific Message Attributes
- Fail if Adapter-Specific Message Attributes Missing
- File Name
Run Operating System Command After Message Processing
Command Line: chmod 664%F
Content Conversion Parameters
Recordset Structure: SLI
SLI.addHeaderLine: 3
SLI.headerLine: PERIO;ILN;EAN
SLI.fieldSeparator: ;
SLI.endSeparator: 'nl'
Adapter Status:

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

Email attachment name in sender mail adapter to the receiver file adapter

HI ,
Ths is regarding email to file scenario. I am trying to create file (in rceiver file adapter) with the same name as the email attachment that i read from mail sender adapter. I want ro use adapter module for this. I could find from blogs that there is module - GetAttachmentName - available that i can use for this in sender mail adapter.
Can you please let me know what whetehr i neeed to mention any module key and parameters for this.
I assume , i need to do following steps :Please confirm.
1. i can use this module - after payload swap module and before standard mail adapter module in sender mail adapter
2. select ASMA option in advanced tab in sender mail adapter
3. In receiver file adapter select ASMA option in advanced tab in sender mail adapter
4. Also select file name option in ASMA in sender mail adapter
Thanks,
Vamsi

Hi Vamsi,
your scenario is also described here: Re: sender mail adapter - attachment name
If you use the Module getAttachmentName, which is described here,
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/XI/AdapterModulePI7.0GetAttachmentName
your scenario should work as you described it.
You just need to make sure that the Attachment Name that you read in the first place, is mapped to the Filename Attribute of the
Fileadapter (http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File/FileName).
regards,
Daniel

Receiver file adapter settings

Hi,
I have a scenario in which I need to generate a file in tab delimited format. But in the receiver file adapter configuration we have only text/binary file creation mode. By setting the File Type in TEXT mode will I be able to do a tab de-limited file?? Or is there any other configuration settings need to be done?
-Ken

Hi Amanda,
Thank you so much for the great info. I think I can find some stuff but still it would be helpful if you could forward the doc to [email protected] Also, yeah it looks like the receiving file format would be complex with header and footer. In the content conversion can we specify header and footer?? or is there any other way to define...FYI my source file also contains header and footer..I am just a little confused on how to set up the message types for mapping...
Many thanks..
