Receiver file channel with ANSI format.

Hi,
I have developed file to file scenario for which sender file format is unicode and receiver file format is ANSI.
There is no FCC at sender and receiver site. In interface we are just bypassing the file in PI, there is no ESR objects.
I have configured sender channel for unicode in following way:
File Type : Text
file encoding : UTF-8
I have configured receiver file channel for ANSI in following way:
File Type : Text
file encoding : i have tried with cp1252 and ISO8859-1
When I run the interface I received receiver file in ANSI format. But when I open that file in notepad the content in the file is having spaces in between 2 characters like below.
V O L 1 0 0 0 0 0 9
Is any bady having idea about this problem?
Thanks.

Hi,
The blanks in your target file might be created because your source file is encoded with UTF-16, not UTF-8. Try using one of these as an encoding in sender communication channel:
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)
Hope you'll find this useful,
Greg

'Use Temporary File' in Receiver File channel

hi all,
I am facing a strange issue with receiver file channel which I am not sure if somene had already faced. I couldnt find any help from blogs..!
I have configured the Receiver File channel with Write mode as 'Use Temporary File' with a temporary file name(say tmp.xml) scheme and Empty-Message Handling set to 'Write Empty File'
When the scenario is executed, its so happening that the temporary file of 0 bytes(empty file) is being created as tmp<msgID>.xml before the actual file is being completely written. It is expected that once the Actual file is completely written, the tmp file should be deleted, but here is not the case.Thus causing both the files being present in the target location. This is not happening often though.
As the receiving application is processing all files from the target direcotry, the file is getting errored out in the target application.
I think the 'Write Empty File' has nothing to do with this as the option 'Write Empty File' is for empty payloads resulting from the message mapping.
Please correct me if am wrong and also provide me the inputs on my issue. Am on PI7.0
thanks in advance,

Hi Tilak,
this is real time interface
real time by using a file... that's a non-sens according to me. You should use a non physical solution (web service, JMS, JDBC, etc...) but a not a file. well... Anyway, you can image that the receiver application schedule the folder every 30s or every 1min, that's almost a real time. Real time is mainly a conceptual view (only synchronous exchange needs really real time). Morevoer, if you really wanted a real time, you should not add a tool like PI (or other) between your source and your target system, the more we have systems, the less it's efficient (in term of delay and response time!).
Even if we propose that the receiver application should have a condition to its script to avoid picking the tmp*.xml files, after a period of time there would be a chance that the *tmp files may increase in number..
No ! coz if my theory is good, if your receiver application does not pick-up tmp.xml, that means this file is not currently treated and so PI is authorized to delete it. So no increase of tmp.xml files in this folder.
Another solution: to create the target file without option "temporary", but to create it in another folder than this one scheduled by your receiver application, and use an OS command AFTER processing, in your receiver CC, which move the created file from the "temp" folder to the target folder.

Receiver File channel for XML files: with carriage return

Hi all,
we are using a receiver FILE channel to generate an XML file that is sent to an external partner.
The XML file looks good in a parser (IExplorer). But in fact there are not carriage return / line feeds between the XML tags
of the XML payload in the file.
Our partner now requires the XML file in a more vertical structure which means: for every tag a separate line (like it is displayed in a parser)
Does anybody know a more general way to convert to a vertical XML structure (so with carriage return line feed).
There is one entry in the SDN dealing with this topic but suggesting using an UDF. I think this is a very specific way.
I don't think it is a good way to change/enhance the message mapping just because of a general formating change.
Is it better to use an XSLT mapping as a second step in the interface mapping or a JAVA adapter module to convert ?
any experiences? suggestions? examples?
Thank you very much
best regards
Hans
examples:
original by XI receiver FILE adapter
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<MT_batchStatus><type>BS</type><header><message><messageSender>SENDER</messageSender><messageDate>20090723143720</messageDate> ... and so on
required:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<MT_batchStatus>
<type>BS</type>
<header>
<message>
<messageSender>SENDER</messageSender>
<messageDate>20090723143720</messageDate>
... and so on

In such a case, the best is to write an generic XSLT or Java mapping that will attempt to do the pretty printing/formatting of the xml.
The advantage of a generic one is that you can reuse the same class/jar for many other scenarios.
so the flow will be as below in your interface mapping;
1. your specific source to target mapping
2. the generic formatting class

Error in Receiver File Channel...in MTB module (Urgent)

Hi,
I am working on a Proxy to File scenario. I am using Message Transformation Bean in receiver file channel to convert xml file into fixed length file. I am getting an error : Transform: failed to execute the transformation: com.sap.aii.messaging.adapter.trans.TransformException: Error converting Message: java.lang.Exception: Exception in XML Parser (format problem?):java.lang.NullPointerException'; nested exception caused by: java.lang.Exception: Exception in XML Parser (format problem?):java.lang.NullPointerException
in MTB step of audit log for comm channel.
Please help me resolve this.
Thanks,
Jaya

Hi ,
"Transform: failed to execute the transformation:"
Pls check ur data what u have to send .. any missing information or any special Chacters or any extra fields are available in the data, this type of transformation error raised.
check once again ur mapping transformation and test the mapping in INTEGRATION REPOISTERY with the same data(what u have to send Previously).
and also check ur adapter status in RWB.

Receiver file channel-FTP

Hello All,
Scenario is Outbound(ECC to FTP).
Below is the steps in audit log of Receiver file adapter:
12.07.2011 03:30:07 Information Write to ftp server "AAAA", directory "'DEV'", file "DEV.OUTPUT>XML".
12.07.2011 03:30:07 Information Transfer: "TXT" mode, size 55 bytes, encoding ISO8859-1.
12.07.2011 03:30:07 Information 200 SITE command was accepted
12.07.2011 03:30:07 Information File processing finished.
12.07.2011 03:30:07 Information MP: leaving
12.07.2011 03:30:07 Information The message was successfully transmitted to endpoint <local> using connection File_http://sap.com/xi/XI/System.
12.07.2011 03:30:07 Information The message status was set to DLVD.
In step3, It is saying 200 SITE command was accetped. But I didnt mention any UNIX command in my receiver file channel(FTP
transport protocol).
Can someone tell me from where is this coming or is it a default one?
Thanks,
Regards,
Moorthy

Hi
Please see the DOC for SITE Command:
SITE command is used by the server to provide services specific to the system. Most of the SITE commands can be used by the admin only. You can get all the available SITE commands by "SITE HELP".

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

SFTP receiver File channel

Hi,
I am doing a simple file pass through using PI (File-PI-SFTP) and not using ESR.
I have two requirements -
1. The target file name should be in the format xyz_yyyymmdd.dat
The standard function with the receiver SFTP channel is to get the timestamp but I don't require timestamp.
Could anyone please let me know if I can get the file name format (xyz_yyyymmdd.dat) without using any mapping?
2. I am using certificates, but still the channel requires a User Name (it is a mandatory field). I am unable to understand why I need User Name even if I am using certificates? Is there a way of avoiding that?
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Abhi

Question 1
Have you seen this wiki page?
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/Snippets/DynamicfilenameinaFiletoFilepassthroughscenario
2. I am using certificates, but still the channel requires a User Name (it is a mandatory field). I am unable to understand why I need User Name even if I am using certificates? Is there a way of avoiding that?
You might want to try anonymous ssl mode. This might not require credentials. But certificate authentication looks for the user credentials. Take help from BASIS.

Error :Receiver File Channel not Initialized

Hi all,
I am using a file adapter at the receiver side with file content conversion option. When i post a message it shows an error in the message monitoring as "Reciever File Channel not initialized : Unable to proceed : null"
Please Help.....

Hi,
Check if the adapter is active or
check on this thread:

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?

Same file name from sender to receiver file adapter with out using UDF

Hi All,
I am working on FILE TO FILE. My requirement is same file name from sender to receiver file adapter. Is it possible to do using only Adapter Specific message properties? i mean with out using UDF.
Thanks
Karthik

Hi,
>>>Is it possible to do using only Adapter Specific message properties?
yes
just enable Adapter Specific message properties in sender and receiver channel for file name
and you're done

Receiver file name with counter

While working on proxy to file scenario. I have to maintain receiver file name as ddmmyyyyxxx_nnn.xml,where xxx is constant and nnn is a counter which is suppose to be reset everyday.Anybody can help me on how to achive this...?

Hello Amit,
Yes. You can achieve this but only using File - NFS Protocol.
A new file is created for each document. The file name is extended with a counter, which is inserted before the file name extension (for example, default002.file). This selection is only available for the File System (NFS) transport protocol.
Make specifications for Counter Definition:
Prefix
Specify one or more characters that you want to add before the counter in the file name.
Format
Specify the first counter to be used. It must be a valid integer number. Leading zeros are permitted.
Step
Specify the counter increment.
Mode
Specify when the counter is to be added.
After First File
The counter is added when the file name is used unaltered for the first time.
Thanks

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

Can we archive files using the receiver file channel

Dear all,
I'm looking for a option, where in I want to archive the files being sent to the target system.
Do we have that facility in XI Receiver File communication channel.
Can the same be achieved for JMS Receiver channel.
Kindly give your comments or responses.
Regards,
Younus

Hi,
AFAIK only the sender file adapter has such a functionality.
A workaround would be to send the file to a second receiver (for example a archive directory on your PI server).
Regards
Patrick

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
