Schedule sender file adapter

hi all,
Is is possible in some way to schedule the file adapter? My requirement is that the file is created in the source directory at 8:00 am but I need to pick up the file only at 11:00 am. How can I do this? How are these scenarios typically handled?
thanks,
lasya

Hi,
Unfortunately it's not yet available. According to recent thread on this forum, this functionality could appear with SP20 (thus about at the end of January), but it could be after...
Sap TechEd news
Another solution could be:
1. Your sender sent the file in folder F1, when I want to do it.
2. Create a litle Java function or a DOS command which take a this file from folder F1 and move it to folder F2
3. Schedule this one by a Windows Task in order to plan it exactly when you want.
4. Inside XI, your File sender CC pick up file in folder F2.

Sender File Adapter: No Messages

Hi,
I have configured a sender file adapter to read a flat file using file format conversion, in the file poler mode using NFS. I could confirm that the File is being read, and the adapter status from the Adapter framework (is:port/AdapterFramework) indicates the adapter is working fine (Green light, and last message processed at XXX........).
However, I did not find any messages from SXMB_MONI.
Further, I got inot the RWB, and found the following Audit log:
It indicates an error "Transmitting the message to endpoint http://kansbwul01:50000/sap/xi/engine/entry?action=execute using connection AFW failed, due to: Received HTTP response code 404.."
What is the problem, and how can I resolve it?
Thanks

Sender File Adapter - Restrict number of file polled at each poll interval

Hi all,
PI 7.0 SPS16.
We would like to know whether it is possible to configure a sender file adapter (file conversion mode) in order to restrain the number of file taken at each poll interval and if yes how ?
Thanks for your future answers.
Jean-Charles

Hi Jean
Standard adapter do not provide functionality to take an input like number of files to be taken at poll interval. But using adapter module you can achieve this.
SAP PI is having the function to set poll timings and scheduling. You can write adapter module and execute this module using File adapter type communication channel before the standard bean and you can restrict the number of files.
Check the link given above as well as this How to Guide

Regarding issue sender file adapter in clustered environment(PI 7.0)

Hi Experts,
we are using sender file adapter in clustered environment(there are 6 J2EE cluster nodes in XI system) for an interface.the file sender communication channel for this interface is scheduled to run twice every day. recently the channel stopped polling (picking the files from the source directory) and i dont see any error.
when i open Communication Channel monitoring in RWB and select the file sender communication channel and run it manually, none of the cluster nodes are polling for the file.
i have tried editing the communication channel in Integration Directory and activating it. but it does not pick the file.
Can you let me know how the issue can be resolved.
Thanks

Kausik,
A computer cluster is a group of linked computers, working together closely so that in many respects they form a single computer. The components of a cluster are commonly, but not always, connected to each other through fast local area networks. Clusters are usually deployed to improve performance and/or availability over that provided by a single computer, while typically being much more cost-effective than single computers of comparable speed or availability.
clearly your cluster nodes are out of sync...!!!!
It is possible that your ftp server went down for a while . And in the profile of FTP machine the entry of XI server is not made permanent .
1. Try to ping the FTP site from XI server.
BTW are u getting any error msg at RWB ?

FileName in Sender File Adapter Module

Hi Folks,
In my sender file adapter have written a module to read the picked file name. The protocol used is NFS.
Notice that the file name read in the module has the absolute path, including the directory path. E.g The file name xyz has to be picked from source directory
XIServer\Outbound. In the module when I retrieve the file name, it comes up as
XIServer\Outbound\xyz. Is this expected behaviour?
I was expecting just the file name<xyz> to be retrieved.
Thanks,
Anand

HI,
Create an UDF and write this code.
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container.getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key =
DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File","FileName");
String ourSourceFileName = conf.get(key);
return ourSourceFileName;
in Adapter u will have Adapter specific parameters check the file name check box.
Using this UDF u will get the file name at target side.

Phani.

Advance select for source file in Sender File Adapter

Hi
I am trying to utilise the parameter 'Advance Selection for source file' on a sender file adapter to pick the file from multiple folders
My problem is that this parameter that is listed on the SAP help is not getting in File accessing Parameters.
I am running PI 7.02 (NW702_07_Rel)
Service pack 07
Has anyone come across this before?
any suggestions on how to do this?

Hi,
In PI7.0 the property exists. I have used it previously. I think SP was 13.

Multiple Exclusion Criteria[Exclusion Mask] in Sender File Adapter

Hello All,
I have a requirement to specify multiple exclusion criteria in the 'Exclusion Mask' property of a Sender File Adapter, i.e. I need to pick up files that correspond to 111*.txt from a specified source directory, but I would also want to exclude specific individual files that go by the following names:-111ACC.txt, 111INV.txt & 111PUR.txt.
I have tried the following - Specified 111*.txt in the 'File Name' field and in the 'Exclusion Mask' field specified ACC, INV & PUR - the exclusion criteria separated by commas. But this does not seem to work. All the 111* files are getting picked up.
Have gone through a couple of weblogs that deal with exclusion masks, but they do not talk about multiple exclusion criteria.
Is there any other way I could accomplish this?
Thanks,
Anand

Hi,
Try this config.
Give *.txt in filename. and Directory as <YourDir>
In exclusion mask give 111ACC.txt
Below this there will be a table. Add two Entries
Dont add anything to FilenameMask.
Directory ->FileNameMask--->ExclusionMask
<yourDir>->--->111INV.txt
<YourDir>->--->111PUR.txt
Try this and get back.

Sudharshan

Archive file with errors in sender file adapter not working! please help!

Hi Experts,
I have a file to RFC scenario. the input is a XML file. I have setup the flag in sender file adapter channel for archiving the input files with errors. But it is not working.
For testing I have used an invalid xML file for example without the main XML tag. I have also tested with a MSWORD file saved with.xml extension. But in both the cases the files are not getting archived.
My archive location permissions are fine and in fact normal archive operation is happening. That is, if I select the processing mode as "Archive" and gave the Archive directory then files are getting archived. The problem is only with the "Archive faulty source files" option.
What am I missing? DO I need to do some more configurations?
What are the prerequisites if any for this option?
How to test this?
Please help me! I will be greatfull to you all!
Thanks & Regards

Unzip file using PayloadZipBean in Sender FILE adapter

I am trying to unzip a flat file in Sender FILE adapter using PayloadZipBean.
I am getting mapping error. The problem is File adapter is reading data without unzipping. I am getting weird characters/data, so mapping error.
I searched all the blogs/ forum threads and help.sap.com, everywhere the focus is on zipping, not unzipping.
the file I have is with .gz extension, but I tried with .zip extension also.
Please help in resolving this issue.
Edited by: Gopal Janagama on May 2, 2008 11:42 PM

Gopal,
GZIP and ZIP format are slightly different, as stated here :
"GZIP compresses only one file and does not have a header. ZIP contains header information about what files are contained in the file."
So I'm not sure the PayloadZipBean supports GZIP format ... Try to ungzip and then zip its content and see if the bean works for it

I have configured a sender file adapter to pick up *.txt files from a specific path, Since the file is having thousands of records it is failing to process the file at PI level .

Archiving TXT files in Sender File Adapter--Unformatted Way

Hello,
I am Archiving TXT files thru Sender file adapter, files are getting archived to specified directory.No issues in that.,
When i open the archived files, those are not in the correct format way that i placed before file pickup.
Header & lines got messed up side by side.
Regards

Hi,
If the file that it being archived is not transformed, it should exactly be the same as the original file.
Please make sure that you are not transforming the archive file by any means(unix script, mapping logics etc).
As suggested above, it is advisable to open the file in the editors like textpad, ultraedit etc. The difference in the alignment could be because of the notepad editor.
Try to open the original and archived files in any of those(textpad,ultraedit etc) editors and check.
Please let us know if you are still able to find the difference in the alignment.

Subbu

Zero size files in Sender File Adapter

Hello!
I have the problem with my Sender File Adapter (ftp).
Sometimes in ftp directory there are empty files or messages with a zero-sized payload.
This situation cause an error and Adapter "sleep" until I save-active it in a configuration. (before I removed the 0-size file...).
Any suggestion?
Thanks
Alessandro

Hi ,
What the note states is that if your Sender File adapter picks up and empty file, then it would not trigger any message at all.
So, if what that note says is correct, then I guess for the empty file, the adapter would not ve passed any message to the integration engine.
Is there any entry in SXMB_MONI? If yes, then it means some message is actaully being passed by the adapter engine to the integration engine which shouldnt have happened at all.
What does the error message in the File Adapter state?
