File Adapter - Reading 2 files from sender and one file to receiver

All - I am looking for a best solution for reading two files from sender and generating one file to the receiver.
Here is the scenario
Sender file s - A is a master file. B is a detail file; B will have a one to many records for each record of File A.. that is the relation ship between 2 files.. I am looking for a better solution to
Example
Input:
File A will have a record like "summary1 ABC 1234"
File B will have a record like "Detailfor Summary1 CDF 8679"
Output:
File C shall have a record "consolidatedofSummary&Detail ABC 1234 8679"
1) read records of master row and detail row from these 2 files
2) do the mapping to the receiver output format which it is creating for records with some harcoded values and based on the values from master and detail rows of sender file
if I can accomblish reading sender files and do the mapping to the receiver , assume that mapping to the receiver format would not be cumbersome.
please help me...
Thanks

Hi Gopal,
Ur approach to the interface is perfect.... Go ahead.
For selecting multiple files in source use Advanced Selection for files.. and specify the directory paths and also the file name shema...
This will fetch the 2 files into the integration engine... then u map the 2 source files to one target file(2:1 mapping).
Specify accordingly the receiver side FCC and test it end to end...
If u face any prblm post here... some1 will help u out..

How to pick files from ECC directory

Hi All,
I have to pick files from the directory of ECC. can anyone tell me how to configure the sender File apapter? Can i use NFS for the same?
Regards,
Lavanya R

Hi Lavanya,
With my knowledge two ways to pick the file from ECC using File adapter.
1. If you use NFS, mount point should be created in ECC for the Directory to access from PI.
2. If you use FTP, FTP ports must be opened between PI and ECC.

NotSerializableException reading file from configuration adapter

Hi!
When I try to access a file with config.getFile() that is stored in VA configuration adapter I get a P4BaseRuntimeException with an underlying NotSerializableException.
This is what I'm doing:
Context ctx = new InitialContext();
ConfigurationRuntimeInterface configInterface =
     (ConfigurationRuntimeInterface)ctx.lookup("configuration");
cfgContext      = configInterface.getConfigurationContext();
cfgHandler      = cfgContext.getConfigurationHandler();
config     = cfgHandler.openConfiguration(path, ConfigurationHandler.READ_ACCESS);
boolean exists     = config.existsFile(filename);
InputStream is = config.getFile(filename); // this is where the exception occurs
I've omitted handling for InconsistentReadException in this post, to keep the code short.
The existence check with config.existsFile() returns true, so configuration path and filename seem to be ok. However, config.getFile() throws a NotSerializableException.
So, how can I read a file from configuration adapter? What is my mistake?
Thanks for your help,
Frank

hi frank,
in addition to the above content
u can refer the how to use the config.getFile()

Receive XML file from CIDX adapter and Post to SAP as IDoc using XI

I have scenario where we will receive the xml file from CIDX adapter. I need to take the xml from CIDX, do the Database Lookup and post it to SAP as IDoc.
Any technical documentaion or step-by-step process documents can be very helpfull to me, since I am new to XI
Thanks
SP

Lookup in XI is used to call the target data storage system and get data from there to your mapping programme.
In XI you can do Lookup in Message Mapping, Java Mapping and in XSLT Mapping. Previously Lookup in XI was system dependent. But now what ever the system are i.e. SAP system or non-sap system(Oracle,MS SQL etc) lookup API are same.
Overview of Lookup
- Lookups are used to identify/request the data from mapping program.
- It interrupt the process and looking for data which was stored in target system.
- It get that data and comeback to process and continue with that data.
Types of Lookups in XI
- JDBC Lookup: JDBC lookup is used for accessing data from database (non SAP).
- RFC Lookup: RFC lookup is used for accessing the SAP Data.
- SOAP Lookup: SOAP lookup is used for accessing data from Webservice
Steps to perform Lookup in Mapping
Import package com.sap.aii.mapping.lookup.*;
Create connection to the target Database system.
// Determine communication channel created in ID
Channel channel = null;
channel = LookupService.getChannel("DB-SYSTEM-NAME","DB-CHANNEL-NAME");
// Get system accessor for the channel.
DataBaseAccessor accessor = null;
accessor = LookupService.getDataBaseAccessor(channel);
Build the Query String.
Getting Result
// Execute Query and get the values.
DataBaseResult resultSet = null;
resultSet = accessor.execute(Query);

Background: Pick files from directory at central instance

Hi,
In Background, We want to pick files from the directory present central instance. I am using FM RZL_READ_DIR_LOCAL to read all files present in directory and later we process each of them.
This FM works fine while I work online but not in background. In Development and Quality servers it works fine in background. possible reason could be that we dont have central instance in dev and quality server.
Please suggest.
Thanks

How to pick files from multiple directories via Sender File Adapter?

Hi guys,
I have a scenario File to IDOC. The Sender File Adapter has to take all files: .xml from Source directory E://Current/.
Actually directories are like
E:/Plant1/Current/
E:/Plant1/History/
E:/Plant2/Current/
E:/Plant2/History/.
Can I have one Sender File Adapter to pick all *.xml files
from
E:/Plant1/Current/ and
E:/Plant2/Current/ and how can I write it in Source Directory of Communication Channel?
Or do I have to have a Sender File Adapter for each Plant?
Any suggestion please?
Kind regards,
Danijela Zivanovic

Hi,
If you are using a Stand-alone J2SE Adapter Engine, you can create a SOAP adapter to pick a SOAP message from a file system and send it to the Integration Server. This is available with the XI3.0.
The configuration will look like this.
Bubble adapter java class
classname=com.sap.aii.messaging.adapter.ModuleBubble
This adapter instantiates a bubble bag for supporting
a soap file upload and sender. A bubble bag is a collection of Bubble
instances that form some processing chain of message objects.
Below parameter Bubble.Helper specifies the helper class that implements
the ModuleBubbleHelper interface. This class is used to instantiate
a bubble bag for this adapter.
Sets the bubble module helper that can instantiate your bubble bag
Bubble.Helper=com.sap.aii.messaging.adapter.ModuleBubbleHelperSOAPFileSenderImpl
#$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Below this line are the parameters specific to the ModuleBubbleHelperSOAPFileSenderImpl
#$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
This module loads files from the local file system, consruct SOAP messages
(or SOAP with Attachments messages), and send them to the specified Web Service target URL.
Upon successful completion, response messages are stored in the file system.
Files stored can represent a plain payload, a SOAP envelope, or a SOAP with Attachments.
Plain payload files and SOAP envelope files may be packaged in MIME using some MIME headers.
SOAP with Attachments files must be packaged in MIME.
Specifies the type of the file. The available values are:
plain for plain; soap for soap envelope; swa for soap with attachments
SFSender.ContentMode=soap
Specifies the packaging
true for MIME packaged file; false for bare content
SFSender.MIMEPackaged=true
log everything (4-digit binary, where the bits indicate which
information is logged: req message, req context, resp request, resp context)
SFSender.Log=1111
The target URL to which messages are sent.
SFSender.TargetURL=http://p28848:4040/mysoaphandler
The upload directory on the local file system
This directory has six sub directories with names 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. (they will be created)
The meaning of each sub directories are:
0 = inbox where you place messages to be sent
1 = trash box
2 = work box
3 = successfully completed (original) messages go in
4 = response messages come in (if any)
5 = undelivered (original) messages go in
6 = error messages come in (if any)
In these directories, the file names are used as key and there can be only one file with
the same name except in the trash box. So, when you place in the inbox a file with
the name identical to one of the files stored in another directory, it will not processed.
SFSender.Directory=/tmp/sfsender
The polling interval in milliseconds (default is 5000)
#SFSender.PollingInterval=5000
The retry delay after each failure in milliseconds (default is 5000)
#SFSender.RetryDelay=5000
The maximal retry count upon failures (default is 3)
After the maximal retry count is reached, the message is moved as undelivered.
#SFSender.RetryCount=3
The number of dispatchers to send requests (default is 3)
SFSender.DispatcherCount=1
END
Hope this helps.

HTTPs sender adapter to pick file from a external HTTP file location

HI gurus
Please see the problem here. I need know hoe to configure the Sender HTTP adapter.
My Scenario-
A Flat file (non-xml but structured) sitting on an external https enabled web server. I need XI to go out and get this file on a regular basis (which will then be processed laterby the business person)
Thanks
VL

Hi,
The FTP Adapter will do the job for you. Just create a File Communication Channel and change Transport Protocol to FTP. Since you mentioned that the file is non-xml, in the Message Protocol, choose, File Content Conversion.
Here are some blogs that will help you:

Picking files from multiple folders based on name send to destination folde

Hi,
I want to pick multiple files from multiple folders with one root folder. Based on file name I want to send it to diffirent folders. No need to go for message mapping. Can anyone suggest me.
Thanks & Regards,
Prasad Kotla.

Hi Prasad,
to pick the files from multiple source directory, can use "Advance Selection for Source File" in Sender CC.
If you wand to develop a Scenario without Message mapping, develop a scenario as "Sender as Virtual receiver"
This option is available in Sender agreement, just give the dummy name for Msg Interface and Namespace, Name defined should be same in Rec Agreement.
Develop only: Sende CC, Receiver CC, SA, RA
No need to develop ID and RD as no mapping is involved.
If u want to send the files to different folders of receiver side, just develop the adapter module which changes the directory based on the sender filename.
If the sender and receiver directory is same than check the "adapter specific Msg Attribute" and "directory" checkbox in both the sender and receiver CC. in this case no need to develop Custom module for changing the directory. files will be automatically placed in the path they were picked from sendor directory
appreciate if useful

chandra shekhar

File Adapter: picking files from multiple directories

Hi all,
In a sender file communication channel with Transport
Protocol FTP, There are 2 parameters for Picking up the file
called Source Directory and Filename. If I want to pick the
files from 2 or more directories, What needs to be done.
Or is it possible to do so ?
Without making duplicate interfaces what else can be done ?
Regards,
Vijay

Actually it is possible to select files from different folders for sender channel. It is available with SP14.
I just copy following description from help.sap.com
Advanced Selection for Source File
If you want to set an exclusion mask for the File Name specified above, or if you want to specify multiple directories using a file name mask and exclusion mask, set the Advanced Selection for Source File indicator.
¡ Specify an Exclusion Mask for the file name specified above.
Example
You want to process all files that have the extension '.txt', but want to exclude all files that begin with the letter 'a'. To do this, enter .txt for File Name, and a for Exclusion Mask.
¡ You can enter additional specifications for source directories, file names, and exclusion masks in the table. This data is processed in addition to the details specified above.

To pick files from multiple directory in FILE ADAPTER

Hi all,
Is their any settings or adapter configuration parameters to be used to pick the files from multiple directory .

Hi,
You can only specify one directory on the communication channel. The advance selection allows the selection of different files within this directory.
Therefore you will need a communication channel for each directory you wish to pull files from.
(Just looked at the blog and see it is possible after all - I'm on the wrong SP)
Kind regards
Colin.

Peculiar behaviour in picking file from FTP in File-IDoc scenario

Dear XI Expert,
I have successfully completed configuration of FTP --> XI --> IDoc scenario. I have noticed a peculiar behaviour in picking the file from FTP. I placed a file on FTP and activated File Adapter with poll interval '60' secs and processing mode as 'Archive'. For the first time it has picked the file with expected behaviour and IDoc got posted to SAP successfully. But when I placed file for the second time and when refreshed the FTP directory, immediately file got archived without waiting for 60 secs. But in sxi_monitor I could not see any activity of processing this scenario. Surprise is that, file got archived in target directory. This goes on and on... without registering any activity of processing the message in Message monitoring.
In adapter monitoring it shows the message as described below:
<i>History:
2006-05-09 22:57:25 : Processing started
2006-05-09 22:57:25 : Error: Processing interrupted due to error: FTPEx: No such file
2006-05-09 22:57:24 : Processing started
2006-05-09 22:57:24 : Error: Processing interrupted due to error: FTPEx: No such file</i>
For your information my SAP XI system is on SP16.
Please find below the parameters of sender adapter:
<i>Quality of service: Exactly once
Poll interval: 60 secs
Processing mode: Archive
Connect Mode: Per File Transfer
Transfer Mode: Binary</i>
Can anybody help me out in resolving such a problem in this scenario?

Hi Jayakrishnan,
Thanks for your reply.
Once again the same problem is noticed. i.e., for the first time when file adapter is activated the file got picked, activities were logged in monitoring and IDoc got posted to destination system. For the second time when file is placed, before 60 secs got completed the file is picked and archived in the target directory. No activities in monitoring are logged.
I have tried it checking the message at adapter level, but it is showing 'No results' (even in the case of successful pick of the file for the first time, not even it is showing other file adapters).
I was not able to understand where the problem could lie?
Regards,
Suraj Kumar

Error in picking files from FTP Site

Dear All,
I m using one communication channel of type FILE to pick the files from a FTP Site. Yesterday, the communication channel stopped picking the files from the FTP site. I checked the adapter in the Adapter Monitoring and it was green and was showing success messages in SXMB_MONI. I then just reactivated the complete scenario and the communication channel started picking the files again.
Is there a way to find out the trace or log in the server for the adapter or communication channel? Or how can I find out what went wrong.
Warm Regards,
N.Jain

Hello Nishant,
That is a problem which happens frequently( atleast i faced the same ) .
The issue is realted to timeout in your FTP Adapter (Connection Issue). Just check out the mode of connection in your file adapter is it permanant or reconnect after a certain time.
What you can possibly do is contact the team which maintains the FTP server...
Regards,
Sumit

Picking files from FTP server with dynamic Filename.

Hello Experts,
I want to pick some files from a FTP server in a File to Idoc scenario. The files in the Ftp Server are created with the filenames as timestamp of the file when it was created. How do I pick up these files?
Thanks,
Merrilly

Hi,
The above masking concept (*.txt, . etc) will be applicable for the files with NFS only,
See the below link to apply it
/people/mickael.huchet/blog/2006/09/18/xipi-how-to-exclude-files-in-a-sender-file-adapter
The below link will help you to build up the adapter module to read the dynamic file name

This could be applicable for FTP ...
Thanks
Swarup
