Reg: NFS connectivty at receiver file adapter

Hi Friends
I have a requirement to post files to a file system(3rd party) using NFS connection, the target path is in shared mode and I am able to access that path when i copy that path in RUN(local system). But when I have maintained the same in the target channel am receiving an error message saying the Path "does not exist".
Please let me know what might be the problem here, what are requirements to be fullfilled to communicate with a third party file system using NFS connectivity.
Note: it is not an FTP server.

Here is the same problem Not able to read files from Windows directory to Unix Server using NFS

Reg:Variable Substitution in Receiver File Adapter

Hi...
In the Source File,
   I am gtting the Field "Product_Name". Based on the Product Name, i need to map the Target Field.
In The Target, I am having Filed as Folder Path.
This Folder_Path is mapped based on the condition like.
if Product_Name = DD, and Server Name = DISB,then the Folder Path should be "/home/corpuser/Disbursement/DD" else /home/corpuser/Disbursement/CC
So the ouput file should be placed in the corresponding Target Directory based on the Folder Path.
For this i am using Variable Substitution.
in Target Directory, i am giving the value as "/home/corpuser/Disbursement/%var1%"
Variable Name -
var1
Variable Reference Name -
payload:MTI_Payment_Disbursement,1,Folder_Path,1
Structure for the Target Message is like...
Messages
   Message1
     MTI_Payment_Disbursement --- 0 to unbounded
        Folder_Path
Can you please tell where i ahve done wrong.
Thanks & Regards,

Thanks in advance

There is nothing wrong in your content conversion parameters. This is pure editors interpretation for the next line character.
I would do in java program to fix this issue using '\r\n'   You might want to try and see how that helps for notepad editor.

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.

FTP Receiver File adapter -- CRLF In output File in Windows environment.

Hi All,
Idoc to File : Receiver File adapter.
I use the endseparator 'nl' and the output file is coming correctly with NFS and It is not working when we are doing with with FTP.
Tested with NFS (Unix environment)
I used the endseparator 'nl' and the output file is coming with CRLF.
Tested with FTP (Windows environment)
When I tested the same the output file is coming with LF.
I tried by using the module "SAP XI Sample/ConvertCRLFfromToLF" which will convert from LFToCRLF.But it is serving my purpose.
Can anyone please suggest how I can get the CRLF in the file while putting in the output directory which is in windows environment.
Thanks
Seema

Do not mention endSeparator in content conversion parameters...by default XI puts newline as endSeparator
It should work for NFS and FTP on Windows

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.

XI3.0 Receiver file adapter write to windows shared drive

Hi,
Our XI server SP09 currently runs on windows 2003 server, I wish to use the receiver file adapter to create a file on another windows server. I have created a folder on the other server and set permissions so that anyone can read and write to it.
The communication channel has been set-up with a target directory of //server/shared_folder/folder and a transport protocol of 'File system(NFS)'
When I try and send an XML message to the file adapter I get the following error on the runtime workbench :-
Last message processing started 09:47:10 2005-06-09, Error: Message processing failed with java.lang.Exception: Message processing failed - configuration error in file receiver adapter (Directory does not exist / cannot be created)
My questions are as follows :-
a) Do I have the target directory on the communication channel set-up correctly? i.e. do I use / or \
b) What username will need to be set-up on the other server so that the file adapter can write to the shared folder
c) Is there another way of providing user and password information for connecting to the other server?
Many thanks
Ian

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

Recordset Structure: SLI
SLI.addHeaderLine: 3
SLI.headerLine: PERIO;ILN;EAN
SLI.fieldSeparator: ;
SLI.endSeparator: 'nl'

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..

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

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