Renaming the Source Directory

What negative effects will renaming the source directory have on my help file topics, graphics etc. For example, the current directory is c:\PRD and I need to rename it to c:\PRD2.

For what it is worth, you can also click on the link whereupon Rh will report it doesn't exist and remove it for you. Then you can browse to the new location.

Renaming the file in the Source Directory

Hi ,
I have a scenario where the file is left in the source directory after sending it to XI for processing. In order to exclude the file from next polling onwards , the file needs to be replaced . I know the solution is possible through Archiving or OS Command (which are not possible in my project)....Please let me know the feasibility through adapter module(if possible ,sample code pls) or any other solution ?
Thanks in advance

Chitra,
Why do you want to go to the hardest route when you have a standard and simple route. The hardest would be to write an adapter module. The simplest way would be simply read the file and send it to the same folder with a different name. You dont need to do anything in IR also.

Does anyone know how to load a file from the source directory?

I have a Photoshop panel that uses the Texturizer function. I would like to use the images in the src images directory of the project. I need to reference the /src/images directory of the panel when the project is running.
Does anyone know how to access the source directory using action script?
I have tried a number of options but only seems to work if I hard code a location
public static function Mat02(): void
// Works
var myTexture:File = new File("C:\\Users\\Ed\\Adobe Flash Builder 4.6\\LayoutBuilderSuite\\src\\images\\mat 02.psd");
// Tried - no luck
//          var file = File.applicationStorageDirectory.resolvePath("mat 02.psd");
//          var file:File = File.applicationDirectory.resolvePath("mat 02.psd");
//var file:File = File.applicationStorageDirectory;
//file = file.resolvePath("mat 02.psd");
//var myTexture:File = File.applicationDirectory.resolvePath("mat 02.psd");
//var myTexture:File = File.documentsDirectory.resolvePath("mat 02.psd");
          var desc5:ActionDescriptor = new ActionDescriptor();
          desc5.putEnumerated( app.charIDToTypeID( "GEfk" ), app.charIDToTypeID( "GEft" ), app.charIDToTypeID( "Txtz" ) );
          desc5.putPath( app.charIDToTypeID( "TxtT" ),   myTexture );
          desc5.putInteger( app.charIDToTypeID( "Scln" ), 150 );
          desc5.putInteger( app.charIDToTypeID( "Rlf " ), 4 );
          desc5.putEnumerated( app.charIDToTypeID( "LghD" ), app.charIDToTypeID( "LghD" ), app.charIDToTypeID( "LDBR" ) );
          desc5.putBoolean( app.charIDToTypeID( "InvT" ), false );
          app.executeAction( app.charIDToTypeID( "GEfc" ), desc5, DialogModes.NO );
Thanks

I haven't seen too many questions like this on this forum. Did you also try the photoshop forums?

I want to Pick the Single file from The source Directory

Hi,
My Scenario is File to RFC .. I'm getting the files in the source Directory.. File names are SENDER_(TIMESTAP).XML .. but the problem is... When ever Files are available in the Source Directory Immediately XI was picking all the files at a time.. But I want to to Pick a single file at a time..
for Making this what we have to do.. After Processing the first file then only my Sender adapter should pick the next file... (even though Multiple files are available in my Source Directory)
Regards
Jain

Hi,
the other option was use Adapter specific attributes in the Sender Communication channel..
or
while droping the files ask them to drop using time stamp in another directory and an external validation is required .. and after validation push single file to Source directory using batch file..
i.e use a batch file using run time operating system or make that batch file to run at OS level ..
where the batch files needs to validate the time interval of the file and needs to push a single file to the source directory.. where from there we can directly pick a single file and process..

Kishore

Distribution Manager Failed To Access The Source Directory

Hello All,
I have this issue distributing content to my Distribution Points for months now. I keep running into this error below:
Distribution Manager Failed to Access the source directory (\\share\folder\file.wim)
Possible Cause: Distribution Manager does not have sufficient rights to the source directory.
Solution: Verify that the site server computer account has at least Read access to the directory you specify as the source directory.
Possible Cause: There is not enough disk space available on the site server.
Solution: Verify that there is enough free disk space available on the site server.
I checked the distmgr.log file and received these messages:

There is enough space on the site server and the site server has full control over the source directory. I wish I can give you more information but I'm hoping this is enough info to get some assistance. If more information is needed please let me know!

We usually give the DP's computer account and the site server computer account read access to these shares in our environment.
... which is not enough for drivers and updates (as there will also files be added).

MDT 2013 The source directory does not contain an identifiable operating system

Want To Pick a single file from the Source Directory

Hi,
My Scenario is File to Proxy. Legacy team is generating Bunch of files in a same directory.But i want to pick single file for each poll interval. after process teh firts file only Sender Adapter should pick and process the next file .
At prsent , My scenario is picking all the files in a single shot and all the files are processing parellelly. . But all the files are related to one Process Order So, out of bunch of files some few of files are processing successfullu. remaining all teh files are getting " Proces Order is locked by another User" Error message . This was happeing only for the parellel processing. And from technical point of view , In sender Communication Channel i have used Quality of Service is Exactly Once in Order and i have mentioned the Queue name also. .
Evel legacy team is generating Bulk of files i want to pick a single file only, suppose if theer is no chnace then at least i want to process single file at a time after finishing the one file processing , then only i want to go for the next file
For this, is teher any paremeters need to be set , please suggest me,.
Regards
Jain

At prsent , My scenario is picking all the files in a single shot and all the files are processing parellelly.
Are you using the Additional Source Files options?
What you can do :
1) Select Processing Tab > Processing Sequence> By Date
2) You can introduce a delay between two processing by using a Thread.sleep(msec) statement in some UDF in your mapping...this will ensure some delay between two processing: Re: Delay in MM possible ?
3) You can select the Connect Mode option as Per File Transfer.....keep it as the last option....

Distribution manager failed to process package - the source directory does not exist

Hi,
I have the following behaviour:
A Software Update Deployment Package is not distributing because of the following error:
I have found the following query (http://blogs.technet.com/b/ken_brumfield/archive/2013/01/10/troubleshooting-sccm-software-update-deployment-package-distribution-due-to-missing-directories.aspx) to
determine which update is missing.
It is about update KB978601. If we search this update in the console, we see this:
The update is not required, not downloaded, not deployed and superseeded.
If we look into the members of the Update deployment package, we can't find this update.
When I was digging into the database, I found this:
SELECT
distinct cp.Content_ID,
cp.ContentSubFolder,cp.PkgID,
con.ContentProvisioned
FROM
[dbo].[vCI_ContentPackages] cp
INNER
JOIN [dbo].[CI_ConfigurationItemContents]cic
ON cp.Content_ID
= cic.Content_ID
inner
join dbo.v_CIContents_All
con on con.Content_ID
= cp.Content_ID
where cp.PkgID
=
'XXX002BA'
and cp.ContentSubFolder
=
'39b46f0a-7244-48a6-b795-119ac74009f9'
which resulted in:
Content_ID ContentSubFolder PkgID ContentProvisioned
16828355 39b46f0a-7244-48a6-b795-119ac74009f9 BP1002BA 1
I found the "ContentProvisioned = 1 " a little bit strange.
So, my question is:
Why SCCM is thinking of distributing the content although it is not downloaded or deployed and how can we fix this?
Has it something todo with the "ContentProvisioned" or is it something else?
Thanks,
Sem

I can tell you why CM wants to distribute it, but the easiest way would be downloading that patch thus adding it to the package (so that it can be distributed) and remove it afterwards.

Setting the File Adapter Sender Source Directory...

Good morning, Experts
We have 2 sender file adapter communication channels in XI 7.0. Source directories for each are as follows:
Channel A - //757spgmr16-xp.sauder.com/SAP
Channel B - //devqas.sauder.com/ROOTBIN
Channel A works. Channel B does not. It returns "Configured source directory '//devqas.sauder.com/ROOTBIN' does not exist". When I remote into the XI box as the administrator I can open a Windows Explorer window and can see both of these source folders.
What user ID is used to access the NFS for the communication channel???
Any help you could give would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Chad

Is the integration engine running in a service on the XI server??? There are a number of SAP labelled services. Some are started with the log on of "Local system", some with the administrator account and then some with an ID of "SAPServicePID".
My guess here is that possibly this SAPServicePID user is running the integration engine and does not have permissions to the source directory??? Could this be the case???
Can somebody tell me the name of the service for the integration???

Error in sender file adapter: source directory does not exist

Hi,
The PI system is 7.11
I've created sender file adapter with following details:
Transport Protocol : File System
Source directory: /interfaces/In
I checked in AL11 that this path really exists and it does. (I can even see the .txt file that should be processed.)
But still i get in Communication Channel Monitoring the following error:
"Configured Source directory "/interfaces/In" does not exist.
(i also tried to give the source directory as "interfaces/In" and as "//interfaces/In" but still the same error.
Any suggestions as to what is wrong?

Robert

Actually, Need to use forward slash (/) to separate directory names in accordance with the Java specification.
But wanted to try if that works..
Also check directory name , path again as this is case sensitive...

Variable Substitution for Source Directory

Hello,
I have seen several threads about using a UDF and variable substitution for dynamically determining the Target Directory.
Is anyone familiar with (or had to implement) a solution where the Source Directory is dynamically determined.
My challenge is to connect to a different Source Directory name (sy-datum format, ex: 20070920 ) each day on an ftp site and download all the files in the folder to a know target directory. I am doing a simple file-to-file transfer, so no mapping is involved.
Your comments, suggestions and feedback is greatly welcomed.
Thanks,
Ralph

Hello Carme,
I have not found a solution for this type of event.
I was attempting this because the FTP site I was connecting to would DELETE a file the moment XI touched it. So when XI (using FTP Transfer protocol) configured with a DELETE or ARCHIVE (Processing Mode), it would error off because the file was no longer on the FTP site. I contacted the site but they refused to deactivate their script to auto-delete files. Using TEST processing mode is not recommended per SAP in a server pool environment. You would think SAP XI would provide a fourth option in which a DELETE command is not issued back to the FTP site.
The FTP site did have sub-directories in which copies of the original files were stored, but I could not figure out how to dynamically change the XI Source Directory as the current date changed.
I settled on using File NFS (Transfer Protocol) and running the FTP commands from a .bat (batch file). I put the command I run down at the bottom of the XI page with a 60 second timeout.
I still do not change to each folder dynamically because the standard FTP (GET and MGET) commands do not attempt a Delete after file retrieval.
Perhaps using a batch file is an option you may want to consider using.
Cheers,
Ralph

File Adapter to iSeries IFS "Configured source directory does not exist"

Good day, All
We are using PI 7.1
I need the PI file adapter to pull a file off of an iSeries(AS400) IFS folder directory.
I'm able to configure the file adapter to pull off files from the PI server C and D drives.
I'm able to configure the file adapter to pull off files from other network drives.
But the iSeries IFS folder keeps coming back "does not exist".
I've configured the Source Directory with / and with \ and it doesn't help.
I am able to navigate to the folder while logged into the PI server as the server admin.
I've tried mapping a drive on the server to the IFS folder but that doesn't work either.
Please help!!!
I've wasted too much time trying different settings on this already.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Chad

Dear Chad,
Please go through the following SDN link :
- Configured source directory .... does not exist was suppressed
give the write permisson to the directory for everyone group and check if that helps.
Also, kindly go through the following links :
1) http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/XI/TroubleshootingtheFile+Adapter (point 2)
2) Not able to read files from Windows directory to Unix Server using NFS
which might give some hints in solving your issue.

'Source Directory doesn't exist' error in sender file adapter

Hi All,
I m getting the error 'Source Directory doesn't exist' in sender file adapter.
The source file directory doesn't exist in XI Server. Its in a different system.
gone through other sdn t hreads.
the options seems to be
1. either to mount the Source Directory on the XI Server.
2. Install a FTP server and use FTP protocol.
My doubt is that, could nt we give necessary access rights to the XIAFUSER whihc will access the Source Directory?
Wont it be sufficient?

Hi Aarthi,
If you are using system other than XI, then you have to use FTP server
else check you have proper authorization of read/write to the source directory...
and check the name of it as well, as it is case sensetive and you have provided the proper details of server.
check these blog as well...

How to specify source directory in File sender adpate using (NFS)?

Hello experts,
I am doing File-PI-Proxy scenario.
Input file is available on machine which is within the Network area and FTP is not available on that machine.
For this reason I am using the NFS Transport Protocol.
In ID File sender I have specified Source Directory:-
IP Address\Directory
I am geeting the Error in RWB as 'Configured source directory '
IP Address\Directory' does not exist'.
Please suggest how to specify the Source Directory path.
Regards,
Jagesh

Hi,
If you want to use NFS protocol, then the file needs to be within the a folder in the XI server and not outside it, In your case if you need to use the file in a different machine which is on a network then try to use the FTP protocol.
Refer this blog:
/people/shabarish.vijayakumar/blog/2006/08/01/along-came-a-file-adapter-mr-ftp-and-rest-of-the-gang which shows the details of how you can install a local FTP and use it
