Regarding File adaptor?

Hi @ ,
In my scenarion I am using file adaptor where i need to read the file ,i have one doubt IF while the application is writing the file my adaptor reads the file which is still not written completely by the application as a result XI gets incomplete data how to ensure that this particular coincidence doesn't take place and file adaptor reads only complete data file and not incomplete

Hi,
you just need to set:
Msecs to Wait Before Modification Check
then it will work as you need

File adaptor not working.

Hi ,
    I am trying some scenario using file adaptor but it is not working. I tried with Runtime Workbench but my adaptor entry is not there in Adaptor monitoring.
    Can anybody plz tell me how to check whether adaptor is working or not?
    I am new to XI detailed explanation will be helpful.
Thanks in advance.
Atul.

Hi Atul,
Just adding on to what Shabrish has suggested..
I Guess you should first see if the file is being picked... for that do the following.
While configuring your Sender File Adapter, let the mode be DELETE. This way, we will know if the file is being picked by the File adapter. The file will be deleted and you can be sure that it has been picked up.
In your runtime workbench home, there will be a tab, Component Monitoring, click on it. Select status as all, and click on display. The components will be displayed on ur screen. In that, under Integration Server, there will be a link for Adapter Engine. Click on it. Now, scroll down, and u will see a link to adapter monitoring, there under FILE ADAPTER see the log of the file adapter
and also, you can see the flow of your message in the integration engine in SXMB_MONI.
Do this and let us know what is happening...

Abhy

Multiple files in different directory using single FILE adaptor

Hi Guys,
How can we handle multiple files having different format(PDF,TXT,EXCEL) and in different directory with the single FILE adaptor.
I know by using "." we ca get mutilple files, but here tthe files are of different format and in different directory.
Could you please explain as to how we can handle this scenarios?
Thanks
Sahil

Hi,
The short answer is - "No".
The Long Question - "Why do you want to use a SINGLE channel".
If your idea is to reuse the interface then dont worry... Except for the Senderchannel and Sender agreement all your other objects can be reused ...provided your sender apter converts the different files into the same XML format..
For TXT you can use the simple file adpater..
For excel see if you can use save the file as .CSV format...then you can use it directlky by the simple FIle adapter..
For PDF use conversion agent... Here a blog to get u started on that ->

File Adaptor-picking after error

Hi,
I have a scenario where File adaptor has to pick files where file name is dynamic but the extension is constant e.g <dynamic name>.file
I have configured the file adaptor for picking up the files, as *.file but the problem comes when there is some error in the file and adaptor (field content conversion) fails to pick up the file.
And now on when ever file adaptor polls the directory it again tries to read the same file and fails , irrespective of other correct files(*.files).
Is there any way to remove/archive this error file so that file adaptor polls for the next correct files.
Regards,
Satish

hi satish,
Are u talking about additional files? If so you can use NameA.optional=yes and proceed.

Reg.File Adaptor scheduling

Hi,
I have the follwoing questions for you:
How can I configure the file adapter so that it can pickup a file at every midnight?
How can I configure the file adapter so that it can pickup a file on every Thursday(i.e. Weekly once)?
Is it possible to configure the File adaptor as asked above?
I would be very much thankful to you if you could answer my question ASAP.

Hi,
Note:You will need to have the authorizations of the user group SAP_XI_ADMINISTRATOR with the role modify.
Go to Runtime Workbench -> Component Monitoring -> Communication Channel Monitoring
Locate the link Availability Time Planning on the top right corner of your Communication Channel Monitoring page.
In your case, the requirement is to schedule the Sender file adapter daily once at Specified time.
In Availability Time Planning, choose the Availability time as daily and say create.
Provide the details like the time
Then select the communication channel , goto the Communication Channels tab and filter and add the respective channel (File Sender).
Once all the above has been done 'Save' the changes.

File adaptor

hi, i have a doubt . my requirement is i want to send a flat file as a flat file using file adaptor. in that my structure consists 236 fields, i cant specifiy each and every field in that. it takes more time.
is there is any alternative for this.

Hi,
If both sender and receiver are flat file with content conversion with coma saeparated then there is a way to solve it.
- first my doubt is , you wat the same file from source to target , no structure modification, is it correct , or you want do some thing in mapping ??
So-
create a data type under row as root node with 0..unbound, message type . and create outbound interface and inbound interface with same mt.
so no need of mapping.if you dont have to do any thing in mapping except one to one.
and rest of config is same .
Only you have to give the file cc is
file record structure ; row
processing parameters
ignorerecordset ; true
row.fieldSeparator : ,
row.endseparator ; 'nl'

Issue in File Adaptor

Hi,
I am using a file adaptor to poll file from a location and process the records and to call an java callout in the same proxy which will accept filename with file path as argument.But this java callout always reurns filenotfound error.I also tried to give stage directory value/archive directory along with file name.But getting the same error.Kindly help me to find the location of polled file(but proxy is still processing).
Thanks
Jayanthi

poll file from a location ... proxy which will accept filename with file path as argumentJava callout will run on the host OSB server is running... File must be in that same host... If it's not you will have to write the file before passing to the java callout... But probably passing the content as a byte array to the java callout would be a better option...
Cheers,
Vlad
