Regarding the File Adapter with Code Page problem

Hi All,
I have a scenario where I am processing file at receiver end. The code page of the file is Cp037. When I try with this, I am facing the problem. Is there anyway where I can chage the code page of the file which is to processed by File adapter receiver.
I have one idea but I don't know whether it is possible or not. It is to use XML Anonymizer Module.
Please get back to me with your ideas.
Regards,
Achari

Hi Achaari,
Cp037 ( EBCDIC ) is not a basic but an extended encoding set which might not be supported by the file encoding parameter at the receiver file adapter.
Either you can try the code page conversion using java code as mentioned in this[ post|Code page conversion;
Please refer Problem with EBCDIC
Michale's reply and the sriram's reply which talks about some work around using .BAT files.

File Adapter with Conversion - XML with Hierarchy?

XI 3.0 (SP9)
We are using the inbound file adapter with conversion to convert a flat file that has header and line items. I would have thought that the data type should have been setup something like this:
<data type>
<header>
<item>1</item>
<item>2</item>
</header>
</data type>
Our flat file looks like this:
H12345
I12345
We have only been able to configure the file adapter to bring in the data like this:
<data type>
<header></header>
<item>1</item>
<item>2</item>
</data type>
What is the proper way to inbound data through a file adapter that has structure conversion like this?
Do all of the elements get put under the root node, or is there a way to build structure?
Do we need to build the data type to correspond with the exact way that the data will come in from the file adapter?
Thanks
Peter

Not quite sure what you want to get, as the flatfile and xml structure does not contain the same values.
However, I will try to give you an example:
Your flat file looks like this:
H12345
I12345
If the first row is header and the next is a line, then you need to specify the fila adapter with the following:
Document name = datatype
Recordset name = recordset
Recordset structure = header,1,item,*
Recordsets per message = *
Recordset sequence = Ascending (need SP10 for this, but you do not need it for this)
Keyfieldname = id
header.fieldFixedLengths = 1,5
header.fieldNames = id,number
header.keyFieldValue = H
header.lastFieldsOptional = Yes
item.fieldFixedLengths = 1,5
item.fieldNames = id,number
item.keyFieldValue = H
item.lastFieldsOptional = Yes
This will create something like this:
<datatype>
<recordset>
<header>
<id>H</id>
<number>12345</number>
</header>
<item>
<id>I</id>
<number>12345</number>
</item>
</recordset>
</datatype>
Hoever, if both rows are "item" rows , then you need to specify the file adapter with the following:
Document name = datatype
Recordset name = header
Recordset structure = item,*
Recordsets per message = *
Recordset sequence = Ascending (need SP10 for this, but you do not need it for this)
item.fieldFixedLengths = 1,5
item.fieldNames = id,number
item.lastFieldsOptional = Yes
This will create something like this:
<datatype>
<header>
<item>
<id>H</id>
<number>12345</number>
</item>
<item>
<id>I</id>
<number>12345</number>
</item>
</header>
</datatype>
Q: Do we need to build the data type to correspond with the exact way that the data will come in from the file adapter?
A: Yes!
Good luck!

"Performance" problems with the File adapter on Plain J2SE Adapter Engine

Hi,
At the moment I'm on a customer side to solve some XI issues for a few days. One of the issues is the performance of the Plain J2SE Adapter Engine, using the file adapter to transfer XML messages(already XI message format) from the legacy system to the Integration Engine. The File adapter has to deal with "large" XML messages(max at the moment is 65 Mb) and the engine fails with the following error when transferring the big XML file: "ERROR: Finished sending to Integration Engine with error "java.lang.OutOfMemoryError". Skip confirmation and quit this loop".
As far I got the information from the customer the memory use of the Plain adapter engine is set to 512Mb. This is maybe to low. But I don't know where to look for this, I only have the adapter web interface in front of me, no access to the OS it self via for example remote connection.
On the Integration Engine I know there is the ability to split large message with the file adapter(File Content Conversion), but I don't know this for the Plain Adapter Engine. Is there a possibility to do this also on the Plain Adapter Engine?
Thanks in advance for any input.
Greetings,
Patrick

Hi Sameer,
Thanks for your answers.
On the first solution, yes that is possible, we first decided to see if the legacy system can do the splitting, before starting developing a Java program.
On the second solution, as far as I know is this solution possible on the Integration Engine. But we are facing the problems on the Plain J2SE Adapter Engine. I went trough that documentation(link:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/6f/246b3de666930fe10000000a114084/frameset.htm ), to look for I similiar solution in the Plain Adapter Engine. So my question is, is this possible with the Plain Adapter? And if so, what kind of parameters I need to use to achieve this.

Patrick

Problem regarding Configuring the File Adapter

Hi,
I am making a Flat File to XML File Scenario. I have made all the Necessary developments and the Routings in the Integration Repository and the Integration Directory. The Sender Communication Channel Uses the Message Protocol "File Content Conversion". All the required steps have been done. We have installed the System and also the Basis Team has done the Post Installation Activities.
<b> The Problem is that the "File is not getting picked up". When checking the RWB and henceforth the Adapter Monitoring we see that the File Adapter is disabled and the XI and the BC adapters are green. Previously we were on SP9 and now we are on SP14. The SAP Basis is at 640 and SP9 and the SAP ABAB is on 640 and SP9.</b>
We are also unavailable to see the File Communication Channels that we have created. When the Tcode "sxi_cache is run it is giving an error that Cache not refreshed andon refreshing various times too the Cache is not Refreshed.
Please Suggest us what we should do. Eagerly waiting for a reply and Thanking in Anticipation. Do we need to make some for configurations for that.
Warm Regards
Chakra and Somnath

Hi Somnath,
If the sender file adapter is up and running and even after that if you find some problem, the first thing you need to do is check if your file has been picked. The easiest way to check the same is to set the mode to DELETE, that is the file gets deleted as soon as it is picked. If your file has not been picked then the reasons for the same could be the following.
- The path that you specified while configuring the sender communication channel would have been wrong.
- While specifying the file name take care as it is case sensitive.
- If you require content conversion then make sure that the parameters entered at the time of configuration are all correct.
Please go thru the following links to get a very clear picture of your requirement.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/e3/94007075cae04f930cc4c034e411e1/frameset.htm

I have a an iMac 27" and am trying to import some videos of a friends wedding into iMovie however one of the movies won't import. It doesn't say why or give any error message or codes. All of the other movies on the card download with out a problem.

I have an iMac 27" and am trying to import some videos of a friends wedding into iMovie however one of the movies won't import. It doesn't say why or give any error message or codes.
All of the other movies on the card download with out a problem. The movie in question is not 'corrupt' as you can watch it in iMovie direct from the SD card but as soon as you try to import it, it just says 'error'. iIve tried moving the file to an external drive ( and other variations on this theme) then importing but have had no luck.
Can anyone please help me.

The mystery remains....
Thanks for the pointers. The file type is .mts (a proprietry sony one).
I have now found some video converter software (Wondershare and iSkysoft) at a cost. Either will convert this file for me into .mp4. This I can then import into iMovie without any problems. I've checked this on the trial versions and it worked well but without paying am left with a giant watermark in the video
The mystery (which I still havent solved) is why did 20 other .mts files import fine and then this one not?
If you could point me in the direction of some free .mts converter software that would be the cherry on the cake.
Thanks

Hello Steve,
Firstly, you cannot install Outlook with Exchange because they share certain dll files.
About the EMS question, I suggest we try rebuilding the powershell virtual directory. If it still does not work, check the application log for more referernce.

Can I use a schema with no targetnamespace with the file adapter?

I am loading a file using a file adapter configured to use an xsd from a third party, the third party controls the xsd and incoming xml and does not have a targetnamespace defined in the xsd or xml.
When I define a file adapter for it the wizard indicates that I need to fix the xsd by adding a namespace. I dont have control over the xsd or xml as they are an external party.
I think I can hand edit the wsdl and change the import statement that requires a namespace to an include statement with no namespace.
Have you run into this before? Will that work?
Thanks,
John

Hi John,
Did we get any solution for this ?
Even in our case, the third party controls the xsd & incoming xml message. Both does not have a targetnamespace defined. The file adapter wizard indicates that we need to fix the xsd by adding a namespace. As a workaround, we manually added the target namespace to xsd and created file adapater. Now the question is how do we automatically add the name space in xml message as well, so that it can be parsed by BPEL process
thanks

Is there a way to store files associated with my page (js, png, css, etc) privately on the cloud with Thimble?

Right now the only way I have found to have css and js files associated with my page is to put them in a public folder on Dropbox. Is there a better way?

If your making it Privately, then it won't visible in Thimble.
Dropbox, Box, Skydrive are the best way for External files right now.
Thimble is always public only, it won't be private. It won't be public until you share the link.

Trying to import a .mov file made with gotomeeting - no problems in past yet says No importable files -None of the selected files or folders can be imported. Change the selection and try again. re-recorded 3 times and still not accepting HELP

Trying to import a .mov file made with gotomeeting - no problems in past doing this. After 3 attempts recording the hour long video and trying to upload it to iMovie, it says No importable files -None of the selected files or folders can be imported. Change the selection and try again. What could the reason be?

After much research and troubleshooting, GoToMeeting replied with the final answer: We do not support the uploading of recordings to editing software. If you are having issues uploading a recording, unfortunately, we do not have tools or steps to resolve this. It is not a supported feature. I am sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused you.
The no longer plan to support editing of recordings made with their software. So, we are planning to find a new meeting provider.

File Adapter with Content Conversion

Hi -
I am trying to convert a Flat file which has data as
firstnamelastnamecompanyName
Now i have created a message type which has a root name as Contact and its children are FirstName,LastName,Company.
And in the configurator i have created a file adapter with the content conversion, but being very new to XI i have never used a file adapter with content conversion. This is what i have in my Content Conversion Parameters.Please correct my code.
Document Name      ::   MT_Contact
Document Namespace ::   http://venkat
Document Offset    :: <i>i did not enter anything here</i>
Recordset Name     ::   RootNode(i gave this name just like that,,, Should it be something from the IR??
Recordset NameSpace:: <i>i did not enter anything here</i>
Recordset Structure::   Contact (this is the name in my IR
Recordset Sequence :: Ascending
Recordsets per Message :: Contact,* (Can someone explain what should be given here)
Then in the bottom in the name value pairs i have given
Contact.fieldNames   =   FirstName,LastName,Company
Contact.fieldSeparator = #
When i am using the above configuration the error i am getting in RWB is Error: Conversion initialization failed: Exception: java.lang.Exception: java.lang.Exception: Error(s) in XML conversion parameters found:
Format error in 'xml.recordset' argument: incomplete structure (name,number) pairInvalid 'xml.recordsetsPerMessage' value 'Contact,*' found
I am very new to XI and i am unable to understand what exactly each field means in the file adapter when the content coversion is used. Can someone take the pain of explaining them.
Thank you
Venkat

Hi,
Use the following to create an XML strucutre like this,
<MT_CONTACT>
<CONTACT>
<FirstName> </FirstName>
<LastName> </LastName>
<CompanyName> </CompanyName>
</CONTACT>
<MT_CONTACT>
DocumentName : MT_TEST
DocumentNamespace : Yournamespace
RecordserName : record
RecordsetStructure : CONTACT,1
In the table,
ignoreRecordsetName : true
CONTACT.fieldNames : FirstName,LastName,CompanyName
CONTACT.fieldSeparator : #

How can I read different files in the file adapter

Hi,
I have a scenario like file(content conversion and FTP) to Proxy and need to read 2 files which have different structures.
The file structures is as follows.
FileA.txt
EMPID, Designtion,code,DOB,dept,deptID and 13 fields etc..
FileB.txt
officercode, dept,workspecs,FLAGarm,FLAGfoot and 27 fields etc.
Both files needs to be read by the file adapter at same time and should send to the proxy to feed in ECC.
Please help me in designing the above scenario with or without BPM.
Thanks
Manmadha

Hello,
Since u want to combine the two files from sender , you need to use BPM for it.
First of all create Mapping. In your mapping program go to messages tab and add the two source messages types and in the target add the target message type. Come to your design tab and design the mappings.
BPM:
-- Insert Fork with two branches necessary condition. In first branch insert Receive step and check start process checkbox.
--In second branch insert Receive step and check start process checkbox.
-- Insert Transformation step after Fork branch step.
-- Insert Send step [the outcome of transformation step needs to be send]
Design the above structure, if you have any doubts, dp reply back.
Best regards,
raj.

File adapter with empty files!

Hi guys,
My scenario is: File -> XI (BPM) -> JDBC
Under BPM I have a fork with two parallel receivers correlated and two sender file adapters for that. Those senders also have file conversion (.seq file to XML).
My problem is: in case of files coming empty, is it possible that senders file adapter generates error during file conversion? And/or generates errors during correlations?
If so, "I wouldnt like", because after receive these two files I have a switch to check if the file(s) coming empty and a control step to terminate the process in case of true. But this only works if no errors have occurred on the earlier steps!
At this moment I cant test it, so Im asking If anyone has faced an issue like this one?
Thanks in advance,
Ricardo.

Hi,
Which SP are you on?
Before Sp19 on XI 3.0 and SP10 on Pi, Empty Files are ignored by XI. The file adapter picks the file and if it is a empty file ( a zero byets file ) the file does not create a message at all for the file.
From Sp19, the file adapter has options that allow you to decide how to process the empty file. You can create an error message etc.

SRFC-adapter and file adapter with error: no adapter found

Hello,
we have two scenarios here in an XI 3.0 SP12:
First scenario connects two R/3 systems via RFC adapter (outbound / inbound) for an RFC in a standard R/3 function module SUSR_ZBV_GET_REMOTE_PROFILES.
The RFC is synchronous.
Second scenario uses file adapter to send file from A to B.
When starting the RFC call from the sender system the error message in area "call adapter" for XML message in the trace is "exception while reading from SLD:Property sap_xiadapterservice.adapterType does not exist".
Message in RWB:
"Transmitting the message using connection http://abc038.ceu.test.com:8077/sap/xi/engine?type=entry failed, due to: XIServer:AE_DETAILS_GET_ERROR:Property sap_xiadapterservice.adapterType does not: Unable to find any Adapter Engines."
Same problem for file adapter!
Here is the message from the file adapter error log entry in SXMB_MONI:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
- 
- <SAP:Error xmlns:SAP="http://sap.com/xi/XI/Message/30" xmlns:SOAP="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" SOAP:mustUnderstand="">
<SAP:Category>XIServer</SAP:Category>
<SAP:Code area="INTERNAL">AE_DETAILS_GET_ERROR</SAP:Code>
<SAP:P1>af.kx1.test038</SAP:P1>
<SAP:P2 />
<SAP:P3 />
<SAP:P4 />
<SAP:AdditionalText>Property sap_xiadapterservice.adapterType does not: Unable to find any Adapter Engines</SAP:AdditionalText>
<SAP:ApplicationFaultMessage namespace="" />
<SAP:Stack>Error when reading the access data (URL, user, password) for the Adapter Engine af.kx1.test038</SAP:Stack>
<SAP:Retry>M</SAP:Retry>
</SAP:Error>
Looks like an identical problem for both adapter.
What we have done (checked) so far:
- SLD connection is working
- Vis.Admin.: no problems found
(SAP RFC adapter active, file adapter active)
- Component monitoring: no errors, adapters are fine
- all rfc connections checked: ok
- have checked user and pwd and replaced to be sure
- cache refresh: ok
- reimport of SWCV to IR for RFC: done, no result
Does anybody have an idea, how to get rid of that?
Best regards
Dirk

Hello Udo,
in Adapter monitoring all adapters are listed and per adapter (here RFC and FILE) all adapter entries from the scenarios are available (sender / receiver comm. channel entries - in green)!
Pipeline URL in SLD Bus. Syst. is fine ( and an IDOC adapter scenario is running successfully) !
I think this is a really tricky one!
Best regards
Dirk

National characters (code page) problem

I made JSP page with code page 1250 with characters specific to this code page. In JDeveloper everything looks OK. Compiled page (Java file) also shows good, but when I open it in Web browser all national characters are lost (question marks instead of letters). Can anybody help me to solve this problem?
Note: JDeveloper is configured to mentioned code page.

have you tried posting in the ABAP webdypro forum?

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.
Regards
Bhavesh
