Run operating system command for sender File adpter (NFS)

Hi All,
iam doing a file to RFC scenario, using 'Run operating system command' in sender file adapter to change the file name while archiving (after processing completed).
I mention OS command like this:
sample_server\scripts\Test\Rename.bat"
Rename.bat file calls a 'perl script' code.
when i run interface, could see below statement in adapter log ->
"Execute OS command "
sample_server\scripts\Test\Rename.bat"
but the script was not run and file name was not changed.
Please advice what could be the problem?
Does this mean script executed successfully?
Do i need install perl software on XI server, even perl script (.bat file) is executing on sample_server?
Thanks in advance..
Regards,
Rajesh

Hi,
Just check the following URL and give it a try again :-

File Receiver Adapter:Run Operating System COmmand after message Processig:

Dear All,
I have gone through this link
[http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/EN/e3/94007075cae04f930cc4c034e411e1/content.htm]
But i have a problem.
In the scenario which we have, File name is DYNAMICALLY GENERATED by a UDF
I want to call the file at run time after message processing via Command Line and execute some os commands.
But since the file name is Dynamic....How will i call the file at run time in Command Line:
SYNTAX: %f(FileName)
How will i specify the file name in the above syntax as the file name is Dynamic and not constatnt.
Please Advice.

Dear All,

Actually i have another doubt now
In REVEIVER FILE ADAPTER:
when we give Run Operating system Command After Message processing

RUN OPERATING SYSTEM COMMAND BEFORE MESSAGE PROCESSING

hi.
just i want to know what is the purpose of run operating system command before message processing,after message processing under file sender adapter.
waiting for your great answer.
bye.
regards.
seeta ram.

Hello Seeta,
let me see if I give it using a simple scenario that I implamented : i nedd to transfer a very large file from one server to the other by XI.
to save space and network traffic I use an OS command before picking up the file to run a zip command to zip the file.
after I transfer the file to the target server I run another OS command after the transfer to unzip the file.
now to your second question:
the before Os command on the target server is used mostly for checks (make sure there isn't a file by that name or backing up existing data)
and the after sender OS command is usualy for backing up or erasing existing files (cause it is done only after the first part was finished succesfully).

Run Operating System Commands

Hi,
There is an urgent requirement, i want to know about Run Operating System Commands in file adapter. What are all possible commands for windows operating system? and how it works? Kindly send me your suggestions and links at the earliest.
Your help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Sadhna.

Hi,
Run Operating System Command Before/After Message Processing
●      Command Line
An operating system command specified here is executed before or after the message processing of a file that was found in a run. The default value is an empty character string (no command).
When the operating system command is called, the file name currently being processed can be specified with the following placeholders:
●        %f (file name)
●        %F(absolute file name including path)
●      Timeout (secs)
This specifies the maximum runtime of the executing program in seconds. When this time interval is exceeded, the adapter continues processing. The executing program continues to run in the background.
●      Terminate Program After Timeout
Set this indicator if the adapter is to terminate the executing program when the timeout is exceeded.
The adapter writes the output (STDOUT and STDERR) for the operating system command in the system trace.

Phani

How to Run Operating System Command Before/After Message Processing SAP PI

Hi,
We are trying to execute multiple commands via "Operating System Command Before/After Message Processing".
When we use single command say for example cp or mv (copy or move) the commands get executed fine.
eg: cp %F /var/opt/data/outbound/Test/Dummy.txt
/this works fine/
when we club commands together or try to redirect the outputs of commands, none of the commands get executed.
eg:
cp %F /var/opt/data/outbound/Test/Dummy.txt ; rm %F
or
wc -l %F > /var/opt/data/outbound/Test/Dummy.txt
Is it possible to execute multiple commands or redirect the output of commands without using a shell script? The PI server we are working on iis hosted on UNIX environment.

Hi Harleen,
try like this
cp %F /var/opt/data/outbound/Test/Dummy.txt ; rm %F
instead of semicolon try this
(1) &
command1 & command2
Execute Command1 and then execute Command2
(2) &&
command1 && command2
Runs the command2 only when command1 doesn't Complete successfully
(3) ||
command1 || command2
Runs the second command if the first command had an error
(4) ()
(command1 || command2) || (command3 & command4)
Defines the order in which commands are to be executed

Regarding Run operating system command

Hi experts,
I have a requirement of creating an empty file onto the same folder where my reciever file adapter writes the result file. Is it possible in case of FTP as well or is just supported for NFS?
Regards,
Amol

Hi Amol,
I have no experience with scripts. But if my understanding is correct, you can achieve this. The script file to be called should be placed in your XI server. The script file will have commands to do the FTP and create file in the remote FTP server. Although I have never worked on scripts to be 100% sure. May be a person familar with scripts can give the cirrect info.

Wild Cards in External Operating System Commands for HP-UX

Hello,
Is it possible to use wildcards for HP-UX commands in SM69?
For example, I would think the following would work in HP-UX:
mv /directory/file_name.* /directory2
But whenever I execute a command with the * wildcard in SM69 I get the message 'No such file or directory'
Thanks,
Joel

This is wierd, I can't even do 'ls *.TRC'
Here's another example, using absolute path names that didn't work:
mv /usr/afisinw_cpafiscd/WHSE/ready/portalActivity_311688752_1243622628104.* /usr/afisinw_cpafiscd/WHSE/ready/portalActivityOld
error: cannot access: No such file or directory External program terminated with exit code 1
But when I replace the * with txt it works. Unfortuneately I need to move multiple portalActivity files each time, and the beauty of using an external command is that my ABAP program is only a few lines long.
Could there be some sort of a safety feature in SAP to prevent the use of * in external commands?

Operating System Command

Hi,
I want to pass UNIX operating system command for outbound FILE adapter. Is it possible to pass two parameters along with the command?
If yes, could you please send sample syntax?
Thanks & Regards
Katta Mohan Reddy

Hi,
but why do you want to do it in this way when SAP
gives a standard way of renaming files?
Variable Substitution
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/bc/bb79d6061007419a081e58cbeaaf28/content.htm
it's available for sp12 but maybe it's worth to wait 1 day until your basis people install sp12 and start testing the new solution ?
I won't see the sp12 till tuesday so I cannot say if it works but it looks (from the documentation) great
BTW
can you turn on the monitoring of the folder the file adapter tries to use and check if any command is being executed at all?

michal

Is it possible to call operating system command after file receive?

Hi expert,
I'm trying to call operating system command after file receive comm.channel receive a txt file.
operating system command uses txt file name as parameter.
Is it possible? How?
Thanks.

Hi,
It should be possible, actually we have two options that are
1.RUN OS command before message processing
2.RUN OS command after message processing.
So you can give the commands in the RUN OS command after message processing.

File adapter operating system command exit code

Hello,
If you call an operating system command in the file adapter, how is the exit code of the command handled? The documentation says nothing about this.
If I call 'true', I expect the file adapter to succeed.
If I call 'false', I expect the file adapter to fail.
Hope someone can calrify.
Best regards
/Otto Frost

Hi, Yes, you are rigth, it spawns a subprocess, that runs without control.
In java you use Runtime.exec().
It returns a process.
process.exitValue() returns an int.
The process is already used to terminate the process after timeout I suppose.
You would like to be able to have the fileadapter succeed or fail depending on this exitValue.
Depending on the command you execute, the exit code is different. RTFM on unix.
You would like to define which codes should be treated as success, and which ones that should be treated as failure.
true typically returns 0 and false not 0
However, a comparison command could for example return 0 for equal, -1 if the frist argument is smaller and 1 if the first argument is larger.
For the diff command, Exit status is 0 if inputs are the same, 1 if different, 2 if trouble.
Thanks
/Otto

Problem with zip operating system command

Hello,
i have the following configuration in the file receiver adapter:
Directory: /tmp/
File Name Scheme: %name%.txt
Variable substitution:
Variable Name: name Reference: payload: record,1,name,1
Run Operating system command:
/usr/bin/zip /tmp/%f.zip %F
The execution is succesful, but i have a small problem. The file name is "file.txt.zip", the .txt should appear but i dont know how to skip it, I have tried so many ways but it doesnt work, I should receive a file called "file.zip" With a file inside in txt format...
Thanks,
Luis

Hi Sriram,
Thanks, but that wouldnt work out, Im using the %f for my file name, so this move command shouldnt work for me, because my filename changes in every execution, so I cant write something like this: mv file.txt.zip file.zip
The only solution I see would would be a command which deals with strings and that could remove the four last characters of "%f"..but I havent found anything for doing it.
Regards,
Luis

Execute external operating system command

Hi Friends,
I have a requirement to run a script file with extention '.PL' on the application server using ABAP.
i have sample how to run it in XI.
XI3.0 provides a very simple way of handling this using the "Operating System Command" in the File Adapter.
I post my output file in the following folder,
/usr/sap/sapout/test/
The shell script is available in the following path,
/usr/sap/bin/convert.pl
The figure below explains as to how we call the shell script using "Operating System Command".
File Acess parameters
      Target Directory      = /usr/sap/sapout/test/
      File Name Scheme = TestOutput.txt
Processing Parameters
     File Construction Mode          = Add Time Stamp
     File Type                              = Binary
     Operating System Command = /usr/sap/bin/convert.pl %F
I have to do the same thing in ABAP as it has been done for XI as mentioned in the above example.
My operating system is UNIX.
If any one can give me a sample it would be really helpful to me.
Thanks in advance,
Arundhathi.

Hi Arundhati,
You can run operating system commands from ABAP.
e.g. If you want to change UNIX right for any file, you can use following code.
lv_ucomm = 'chmod a+rwx 123.txt'.
CALL 'SYSTEM' ID 'COMMAND' FIELD lv_ucomm.
whatever command you provide in Field parameter ( lv_ucomm in the above case ), ABAP run that command at operating system level.
In your case, you can provide command in lv_ucomm to run script at operating system level.
Hope it will help you.

Naren
