Scheduling FTP Sender Adapter

Hi All,
Is it possible to schedule a sender file adapter to execute at some particular time in a day? I have seen the blog <u><b>Scheduling messages in SAP XI</b></u> but, it doesn't seems to b helpful in scheduling the adapter. i had also found on the SDN that it is possible to schedule the adapters from SP19. How far it is true? if i'm wrong, can anyone let me know how to schedule the sender file adapter?
Any help wud b highly appreciated.
Thnx in Adv
Anil Kumar Veepuri

hi,
it will be available from SP19
https://websmp208.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700006308412006E.xls
till now it is not possible in standard

  • Specifying Additional Files in an FTP Sender Adapter

    Hi,
    Has anyone worked out how to specify additional files in a File/FTP Sender Adapter using the FTP transport protocol? This functionality comes 'standard' in the File/FTP Sender Adapter using NFS transport protocol so that additional files can been included as attachments, however, it doesn't seem to be available when trying to use the FTP protocol.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Reuben.

    Yes this is available in only NFS mode check sap help

  • FTP sender adapter archives empty files

    Hi.
    I have a strange problem with the ftp sender adapter.
    I receive my file without problems, and the scenario works as it should.
    The problem is with the archiving of my processed file.
    It writes the file fine to the path specified, but it is empty (user has full file permissions)
    The ftp adapter uses content conversion, and I have seen threads in the forum that tells about simular errors. But I have found no solution.
    Hope someone can help here.
    Regards...
    Peter

    File Content Conversion is usually associated with Receiver File/FTP adapters
    and Archiving the source file is an option at the Sender File/FTP Adapter.
    No, content conversion is used both in sender and receiver file/FTP adapters.
    In my case, it is in a sender adapter!
    I'm not sure what you mean when you said "The ftp adapter uses content conversion,..."
    The sender FTP adapter content converts a flat file to XML format!
    Can you let us know the details of your scenario?
    Like who / what is the sender and who/what is the receiver system?
    The scenario looks like this: "FTP -> XI -> RFC", but as mentioned before, the scenario works fine, the problem is in the FTP sender adapter that fails to save the archive file.
    If I try to use the file/FTP sender adapter in "file mode", with the same parameters, the archive file is written just fine!

  • Prevent ftp sender adapter from tranfering files from subdirectories

    I have a scenario with a ftp sender adapter. In the configuration of the ftp sender adapter I have defined a base directory "/dir" and a file pattern "*". The directory /dir as a subdirectory /dir/subdir. Now the ftp adapter transfers also files from this directory. But I don't want that. Any solution?

    Hi,
    I am not sure whether it is made so intentionally be SAP. However, if you wish to resolve this issue, you can specify a wild card for file names, such as the file extension (for example, *.txt).
    Hope this helps,

  • FTP sender adapter wait sometime before processing a message

    Hi,
    I want my FTP sender adapter to wait sometime before processing a message. This is needed in my case since the receiver of the message cannot consume message in, say two seconds, so I would like to configure a "time to wait before processing message" in PI since PI processes all of the files in folder without waiting another poll interval time if more than one exist.
    Is this possible in PI 7.0 sp16? 
    Regards,

    HI Tarik
    BPM is the solution for this problem. If you are not willing to use BPM other solutions are  Adapter module and Scripts
    You can write adapter module and use the threads mechanism. Thread.sleep can help you achieve this but you need to set this properly.
    Another method is Unix script. Let your actual directory be Dir1 and poll PI to Dir2. Use the script to write files from Dir1 to Dir2 one by one and with time gap. This will work for you.
    If you have PI system on Windows i prefer to go with Adapter module.
    Thanks

  • FTP-Sender Adapter ignores files with "known filenames"

    Hello experts,
    the scenario is FTP -> XI -> IDOC and we have problems with the polling of the files. In communication channel monitoring everything is working fine, but in the FTP folder some files are ignored, although the communication channel is set up for all *.txt-files.
    My question is, is it possible that the FTP sender adapter ignores files, if it already has processed a file with the same filename? After renaming the files they all were picked up and archived into another folder. How can I configure the communication channel to pick up ALL *.txt-files in the out-folder?
    Best regards
    David

    Hi David,
    What I have observed is, XI always reads files in a certain order (possibly alphabetical or reverse alphabetical). If it finds a file in the source directory that already exists in the archive directory, it will not attempt to read/process the next file (even if the next filename is completely new).
    So, if any of the files in the source directory exist in the archive directory, there is a possibility that certain files may get processed and certain wont.
    Make sure that none of the files that you put in source directory exist in the archive directory (i.e. all the files are new) and see the output. Let me know if this helps.
    PS: I used FTP protocol

  • FTP Sender Adapter - Processing Sequence

    Does anybody know what the processing sequence of files is when I using a ftp sender adapter? I can only determine this if I use a file sender adapter (NFS).

    Hi,
    in  sender file ( FTP ) adapter:
    when qos  :eoio
    the sequence the msg processess will be in ascending alphabetical order.
    ex: if i have 10 files in a folder
    as per the my requirement all the 10 files are picked up at the same time, then
    the files will be arranged in queue specified in ascending alphabetical order and processed in the same order.
    but, when i use QOS: EO
    the same thing is going to happen right!!
    picks all the files , processess in ascending alphabetical order to xi..
    then what is the use of queue here in eoio???
    on the other hand,
    in  sender file ( NFS ) adapter:
    file will be processed based on the processing sequence( either by date or time ).
    so both EO and EOIO use the processing sequence... then wat is the work of queue here in EOIO MODE.. any way they are processed according to the proccessing sequence parameter.. ???
    Please reply..

  • FTP Sender Adapter for OpenVMS

    Hi,
    did anyone of you use a FTP Sender Adapter on an OpenVMS System?
    If I connect via FTP Client (Dos, Unix Shell or Filezilla) this works fine so far but with XI I receive the following error message:
    Error occurred while connecting to the FTP server "server:21": java.net.SocketException: Connection timed out:could be due to invalid address
    BR Markus

    Hi,
    Check your FTP server Address and the port number. If  you are using SSL / TLS then the port numbers will change.

  • Scheduling File Sender Adapter

    <b>Hai expertise,
          We need to send image files from different local PC's (whose IP address is dynamic) to Document Storage System through XI.
    1) we have to use HTTP sender (Java program which pick current IP address of system and file names from folder to XI in XML format).
    2) XI has to pick the files and depends on response from BAPI files has to be moved to other folders in local machine (from where XI has picked the files)
            Is there any way to pick the payload value to one feild of File sender adapter?
           will it work through Adapter Specific Message Attributes?
             But ASMA is for dynamic folders and dynamic filenames we need to set dynamic FTP IP address to FTP Server name of File Sender adapter.
           Is this functionality be achieved without adapter module creation?
          One more approach we though is that "XI will get XML data of IP address where file resides and file names in the form of XML, which we are polled by server proxy and using that IP address in proxy can we use do FTP copy and moving files from one folder to other depends on BAPI response". Will this work as the BAPI as to execute in backgroung to get files from local windows based machine to sever for FTP copy????
    File sender adapter has to be triggered, when HTTP sender sends the data to XI, Is this possible???
    Can we use File Sender adapter, when HTTP sender sends the data to XI in the same interface?
    Picking files from static folders, filenames but dynamic FTP Servers, is this possible through standard File Sender Adapter?
    Please advice.. its urgent...

  • Getting dynamically a specific file in FTP sender adapter

    Hi all,
    I'm getting an idoc in a BPM and there's a field with a file name, which is the one I have to read in the following step.
    I'm not sure this is possible, but I'd like to hear from the PI community...
    The problem is that in the usual FTP sender comm channel, I have to specify in configuration time the folder and the pattern of the file names to be read. And in my scenario I only know that in execution time (that's possible when the FTP channel is receiver though).
    Thanks

    Oops!! I misunderstood it
    At sender, neither of them would work. In fact, there is no other direct options at sender. You have to specify the filename. As Udo suggested, you have to create multiple channels.
    Still if you could explain your BPM configuration, some solution may turn up. You said you are receiving Idoc in BPM and a file too?

  • FTP Sender Adapter, Empty Archive Files

    Hi,
    When I retrieve files using a FTP sender Communication Channel and I checked the Archive check box (including an existing directory), the file is archived but it does not have any content. It is completely empty.

  • SAP PI FTP sender adapter not working with SAP ECC over Itanium

    Hi,
    We have been running normally SAP PI 7.0 SP14 with no issue for a while.
    We are now in the process of migrate the SAP ECC system from PA risc to IA platform. We are performing some tests between SAP PI and SAP ECC to check that the platform migration is not affecting us in any way and we have found that FTP adapter sender is not working anymore (receiver is working as usual).
    We place some files in the new ECC system and when PI goes to retreive the files it is like it can not read anything. It gives no error but it does not pick any file. This is not happening with the old platform.
    Does anyone have any idea?
    Thanks a lot for your help

    Hi,
    I am using FTP connection and for the receiver it is working fine.
    Thanks

  • FTP (Sender) Adapter - Polling Problem

    Hello everyone!
    I'm trying to pick up an XML file using the FTP Adapter (Sender).
    Weird thing is that I have set the "polling interval" for 60secs, but the FTP adapter doesn't seem to want to repeat polling at the said time interval.
    It only picks up the file once, and after that no more polling occurs.
    Could anyone know what the problem might be?
    Warm regards,
    Glenn
    PS. We are on PI 7.0, SP11.

    Hi Glenn,
    Check the connection mode in FTP adapter.
    Connect permanently or connect everytime.  Try changing the option and see if it works.
    If it still doesnt work then contact the guys who are maintaining the FTP server.
    Regards,
    Sumit

  • How to schedule JDBC sender adapter

    Hi guys,
                    I am doing a scenario where the data is sent from database to SAP (Proxy).  Now I interface needs to run just once a month. How can i schedule it to do the same?
    Regards,
    XIer

    Hi,
    In the sender communication channel you have to give
    606024*30=2592000 in Poll interval for 30 days.
    Else
    You can schedule your communication channel if your SP is 19 and above. Please see this weblog for some information on this:
