Seeburger SFTP adapter

Hi
I want to transfer the file from one location to another locatoin through Seeburger SFTP adapter, is it possible?, If yes could you please suggest how to do and provide any documents/links.

/people/william.li/blog/2006/09/08/how-to-send-any-data-even-binary-through-xi-without-using-the-integration-repository
Like this i want to send the data through SFTP.
Thanks
Ramesh

I had a same question long time back.
The way to do this is - Exchange the server keys ( Your admin can generate it)
Install the keys ( server keys ) from the target system in your source server ( where you have SFTP adapter installed). If you have user id and password you can choose in the drop down of the SFTP adapter.
Yes, FIle adapter is configured to pick the file and virual receiver.
Another pointer was - there are some fields which are mandatory like mapping where you can use DUMMY.
To send to the target - configure the receiver adapter.
Make sure your fire wall is open for the port needed for SFTP.

Help req in Seeburger SFTP adapter

Hi All,

Regarding Seeburger AS2 Adapter

Hi,
Wheni go thru my adapters list i didn't find Seeburger AS2 adapter in the list, but my client wants to use the Seeburger AS2 adapter for their scenario's. What should i do in order use the Seeburger AS2 adapter. Is it a third party adapter? do we need to get any license from SAP to use this adapter. Or is there any equivalent adapter available in XI for seeburger AS2 adapter. Kindly suggest
Regards,
Venkat

Hi,
Yes your understanding is right. Normally for B2B the customer sends data over WAN or through Mailbox and ususally the data is encrypted using digital certificate for security reasons.
For B2B the data is send in EDI format (EDIFACT,TRADACOM,INHOUSE and many more) and the seeburger adapters like AS2,X400,OFTPS are used to convert the EDI format to XML and viceversa..

Check the following...
1. Make sure you don't have any scripts running at your target folder.
Example: If you are reading your file from TEST folder make sure you don't have any scripts running here.
2. In File Setting section make sure you uncheck Delete file checkbok.

Error in Seeburger SFTP receiver in append mode.

Hi,
I am trying to do content conversion in Seeburger SFTP adapter at the receiver side and was successfully able to create the first CSV record.
I am using append mode in receiver adapter.
But when sent another record from sender; I got below error.
Always, first record gets processed successfully then second and subsequent records always fails.
Message processing failed. Cause: javax.resource.ResourceException: Fatal exception: com.sap.aii.af.ra.cci.XIRecoverableException: >> Description: putFile: Target filename <out.txt>; Flags set: appending=<true>; ; Reason: Failed to convert Ace to the native form.>> Details: putFile: Target filename <out.txt>; Flags set: appending=<true>; ; Reason: Failed to convert Ace to the native form.>>SendingStatus: NOT_TRANSMITTED>>FaultCategory: COMPONENT_ERROR>>Retryable: true>>Fatal: true, >> Description: putFile: Target filename <out.txt>; Flags set: appending=<true>; ; Reason: Failed to convert Ace to the native form.>> Details: putFile: Target filename <out.txt>; Flags set: appending=<true>; ; Reason: Failed to convert Ace to the native form.>>SendingStatus: NOT_TRANSMITTED>>FaultCategory: COMPONENT_ERROR>>Retryable: true>>Fatal: true
Regards,
Anirudh.

An update.
Error message "Unable to convert ACE to native format" means it is not able to convert A SCII C ompatible E ncoding to the native encoding which is used in file system.
I am unable to make head or tail of it... I am doing content conversion in adapter module tab and have specified Transform.ContentType = text/plain;charset=utf-8
The file which gets generated is of ANSI encoding and doesn't appear to be a problem as it works when the file gets generated for the first time.
Also, it works OK when I use unique file name in receiver adatper where 1 file for each record is generated.
The problem is only in append mode.
When checked in Seeburger RWB, there was inconsistency in file details for messages.
For the successful message, file details were:
File details
Host LTFBG-ANIRUD-PI.com
Path /out
File name OUT.CSV
Remote file name OUT.CSV
Detailed status description PUT command for file <OUT.CSV> has been performed successfully.
whereas, for failed messages it was:
File details
Host LTFBG-ANIRUD-PI.com
Path /out
File name null
Remote file name null
Detailed status description Error on send, will be retried
Could that be product error?
Has anyone faced this problem before?

Anirudh.

Sender sFTP Adapter - SSH Key

Hi All,
I have a small doubt regarding Sender sFTP Adapter. This is what we have done to connect with one of Vendor
1.     Basis created a SSH key in NWA for Vendor and sent to them.
2.     They linked the SSH key with user name and asked me to use the same.
3.     We got the firewalls openepd b/w PI and Vendor
4.     I provided the same detail in sFTP adapter, but I am not able to connect,
I am getting below error:
Error: Cannot connect to SFTP server. Host=########, port=22, username=#####. Private key store=########, private key alias=piPKCS12. Timeout=300000 msecs. Absolute home directory=.: KeyStoreException in Method: getPrivateKey( KeyStore, String, String ). The requested keystore type is not available in the default provider package or any of the other provider packages that were searched. (Software version: 3.0.14.2)
Please provide your inputs.
Regards,
Sachin Dhingra

Hi,
The first thing you have to do is use the same userid and the pwd and try to connect to the vendor system from your application layer and see if this is connecting or not. If there is a problem in connection then there are few steps that you have to follow. Below are the steps you need to follow:
1. Open the port from your Vendor side as well as open the port from your XI system(there might be two ports)
2. Generate the key of your vendor system and one you started login to the system then it will ask to instal the key , so acept it.
the IS people can help you out over here.
3. Try to push the one dummy file in that location manually using the command in application layer.
4. check the authorization in the target directory and try to provide the proper authorization,, 777 is used for full authorization.
5. use the same useid and the pwd and then try from your xi system processign a dummy file.
hope this helps.
cheers,

How to handle empty file using sftp adapter

Hi,
Please explain me how to handle empty files in sftp adapter.
Thanks,
Enivass

Hi Enivaas,
I don't have the seeburger sftp adapter at hand at the moment, but asfar as I remember, this does not specifically have an empty-file handling option like the standard ftp adapter.
So to stop emtyp files from being written, guess would need to handle this at the mapping level. For example, check for target creation criteria in the header node in mapping. If the creation criteria is not met, you can throw an error in mapping.
You may also incorporate this condition in your Receiver determination. In this case, if the condition is not satisfied, no receiver is determined in PI.

http://h41123.www4.hp.com/presentations/ISUG/XISeeBurger.ppt
Seeburger adapters like OFTPS,AS2,X400 are used for B2B scenario where the file is coming through WAn network or mailbox. As XI dont have capability to convert the EDIFACT format file to XML the same work will be done by seeburger adapters.
The SEEBURGER Business Integration Converter (BIC) is an any-to-any format converter, used to translate EDI data and legacy data formats into XML and vice versa. It can also be used for complex, high performance XML-to-XML mappings or to interface to existing JDBC data sources.
Supported EDI formats include:
ANSI
EDIFACT
INHOUSE
IDOC
XML Schema
XML DTD
CSV
Delimited Data
positional data
SWIFT
EANCOM
and many more.
See for converting the EDI XML to EDI and XML-EDI you need to have a seeburger mapping program at the adapter module which does the conversion. For this module you need a BIC tool of seeburger which provides the different module program for EDI to XML and XML-EDI. This program needs to be deployed on XI and through adapter it has to be called for conversion.

Refer this forum which is replied by me which talka about the configuration which need to be done for AS2 adapter. This is very helpful:

Seeburger SFTP - File Adapter -- Filename in reciever channel

I am using a Seeburger SFTP Sender channel, and a "FILE" channel configured to use FTP.
I need to have the FTP adapter to write the file name as it was sent by the SFTP adatper.
I looks like I will need to use variable substitutions to do this, but I can't figure out how to populate a variable with the http://seeburger.com/xi/common/dtSubject that contains the file name from the SFTP Adapter.

All you need is 1 UDF that retrieves the value of dynamic configuration. The name space is http://seeburger.com/xi/common/dtSubject as you said. I am not sure the technical name for FileName for Seeburger adapter. But you can see this in SXMB_MONI under the dynamic configuration node. Using this value populate the dynamic configuration with name space http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File and technical name FileName. This represents the file name for standard File adapter.

Jai

SFTP Adapter Seeburger or Advantco ?

Hi,
I need to suggest my client for a SFTP Adapter. Which one I need to suggest ? On performance and Cost? I would like to get a rough idea on cost for these?
1. Seeburger
2. Advantco
Regards,
Muhammed Nishad

Hi,
That is depending on your requirement, if requirement with EDI better to choose Seeburger else choose other one. Both are working fine performance wise.
SeeBurger have many EDI specific functionality like Splitter , Functional Acknowledgment , Auto mapping etc. So if you have EDI in your project SeeBurger would be winner. Else you can choose other adapter based on other factor.
Advantco SFTP adapter allow for different encryption algorithms such as triple DES, Blowfish.
SFTP adapter:
please go through below blog,
http://www.aedaptive.com/index.php/solutions/sftp-for-sap-netweaver
which is also a lot cheaper than the seeburger solution. It might be worth checking out

ganesh.

Seeburger SFTP Sender Adapter Failure

Hello,
a SFTP sender channel causes the follow error when executing a poll cycle:
SFTP Adapter failure Details: while trying to invoke the method com.seeburger.uri.dt.sftp.schema.DtSFTPPollingResponse.setSuccessMessage(java.lang.String) of an object loaded from local variable 'e'
The server was pinged successfully so there should be no firewall issue. We are also able to logon to the server using a third-party SFTP client.
The error description is not very meaningful for tracking down the root cause.
Do you have any idea what could have caused this error?
Thank you.
Edited by: Guppenberger Florian on Jan 24, 2011 4:00 PM

For the Roll back error plz chk the below points.
1. Check the module parameters.
2. Make sure the sender agreement doesnt have any * 's.
Ex: The SA should not be like : | BS | SI_test_oa | * | *
SA should be like BS | SI_test_oa | |
3. If the input file has special chanracters , use the encoding .
If the above doesnt work, try to create a new communication channel and test it.
We also faced this error toomany times in the sender CC for sFTP advatco adapter.
Thanks,
Soumya.
