Seeburger ftp adapter issue

Hi there,
We have the following scenario. We want to get EDI 861 via ftp from our partner to XI to our R3. The challenge we are facing is getting started with seeburger adapters. We looked into seeburger ftp/van adapter. We are not using VAN. Is it possible to configure this adapter in sender communication channel for our scenario? We tried it, but we are stuck at choosing the message protocol, because we get only the VAN supported message protocols from the drop down menu.
Our goal is to get the EDI 861 from our partner via ftp, parse it to XML representation, map the xml to equvalent IDOC and send it to our R3. Is there a seeburger adapter that receives the edi and parses it into? If yes, how do we go about to solve this issue. Right now, we are not able to configure the adapter right so that we could get the edi flat file via ftp and get the parsed edi xml in xi moni.
Your help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,
You need to configure the AS2_MDN_Sender Communication Channel with transport protocol is AS2 and Message protocol is Reports.

Issues with Seeburger FTP adapter

Can one of you with Seeburger FTP adapter experience share some information on these issues I'm facing
1. Do I need to setup resource management in Seeburger workbench. If so, do I need to configure, resource, server and reservations. Do you have more information and what parameters I need here.
2. In the Seebuger FTP adapter, I have
Module Key - exit
Parameter Name - JNDIName
Paramter Valu - deployedAdapters/SeeXIFTP/shareable/SeeXIFTP
JNDIName, should I be replacing this with some other name. I'm trying to get Seeburger FTP to work and in the messaging monitor, I see the message as passed to Module Processor but it does go anywhere from there.
Can one you throw some light on this subject...what to expect from this definition.
Thank you for all your replies,
Parimala

I'm resending this since I did not have any luck with it the first time.
We also have an oss note waiting to be responded on this subject.
When I send messages using Seebuger FTP adapter, I see the following information in the SAP message monitor -
"Message entered module processor exit bean and will be transferred to JCA adapter".
But does not get to IBM VAN mailbox. How do I trace from this point onwards.
Should I use Seeburger monitoring tool for this? If so, I don't see anything in Seeburger monitoring (used all criteria).
Please let me know if you have any information on this subject.
Thanks,

Seeburger FTP Adapter And SAP PI 7.1

Hi Everyone,
Just a few questions about Seeburger FTP adapter please. Bit of background for clarity, we are doing an implementation using Seeburger FTP and sap PI 7.1 picking up EDIFACT (Orders) and returning (DESADV, ORDERSP, INVOICES). However we are not using any BIC, using another tool for EDIFACT -> EDIFACT-XML conversion (conversion agent) and in-house mapping development using graphical mapping.
So couple of things which I haven't been able to figure out from the standard documentation for Seeburger FTP adapter:
1) First is the functional ACK which we are meant to send back to the VAN is that a STANDARD FUNCTIONALITY with Seeburger FTP adapter?
2) Because we are receiving a mix bag EDIFACT interchange on the way IN, I need to split messages accordingly and pass them on to the relevant channels and mappings. By using the standard module Splitter can I achieve that?
3) Lastly some of the standard validations which are applicable to EDIFACT are they supported within the FTP adapter automatically? e.g. Counting number of messages in one interchange etc.
Any help in this regard will be really great.
regards

Now a Good news.
If you are using Seeburger version 2.1 (which you should be as you want it for PI 7.1), then there is an Internal Classifier and Split option for FTP adapter. You just need to tick checkbox "Use built-in splitting" and you are done. Then I believe there won't be any need for considering all these problems. The earlier version of Seeburger with PI 7.0 doesn't have such option and that could be the reason you haven't received any appropriate response yet.
Still I will reply all your questions considering that "your case is of PI 7.0". -> remember PI 7.0
>>even with just splitter we should be able to break it up?????? or am I wrong in thinking this?
No. You even need BIC or an equivalent custom module for achieving this.
>>I can't visualize where to handle the overall message count in one Interchange any suggestions?
You need to write an adapter module for this. Not sure about the code but this module has to be added before the split happens.
>> seeburger ftp adapter it does talk about a lot of reports which are available on sender/reciever actions. e.g. delivered, despatched etc. Are these reports not essentially ACKs?
These reports are the ones used at the receiver side for getting the ACKs from the receiver. Your requirement is at present for sender scenario.

AS2 Adapter MDN option and Seeburger FTP adapter

Hi Experts,
I configured the a scenario AS2 to File, it takes all the signals from customer and placed in a particular folder, later by using some other scenario it goes to the seeburger workbench and process further.
Now I sent one outbound (810) signal to customer, then we will receive the MDN back, so we receive MDN also in the specific folder (by using the above AS2 to File configuration)? or we need to create separate CC and Sender Agreement by using the sender party?
One more Question about Seeburger FTP adapter
I configured the sender side FTP adapter to pick the functional acknowledgement (997), in the component monitoring it is displaying the below error
"Cannot create reservation, reason: Resource not available for reservation!; affected object : Resource (type:LOGICAL/id:ABCFTP/name:Logical resource name for abc to access the FTP mailbox)", I have deleted the old reservation in seeburger work bench resource management, still no luck.
Could you please guide me.
Thanks

Maybe you know ftp error but i will post in here anyways.
The 550 error is a message from the server stating that the account you have currently logged in as does not have permission to perform the action you are attempting. You may be trying to upload to the wrong directory or trying to delete a file
I dont know exactly if it is a bug or a problem with permission on the ftp side. but i think that the folder that is containing the files, does not have permission to read (weird because you can retreive files). Also another problem is that the account does not have put priviliges and you are using it in another process to upload files.

Seeburger AS2 adapter issue

Hi experts
We have migrated from XI 3.0 to PI 7.1.
The corresponding AS2 seeburger is also upgraded to a compatible version.
But after that it seems the mapping is not working. I am getting the foollowing error while using AS2 adapter at receiver side.
Runtime exception during processing target field mapping /LIST/S_ISA/D_I05_2. The message is: Exception:[java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/seeburger/functions/permstore/VariableFactory] in class
A function in map uses seeburger classes(VariableFactory)
Thanks and Regards

As Anoop said check for property store values.
http://seeburger.com/xi/SeeFunctions provider.servlet.server ; http://localhost/50100 . check for this entry from property store from see front end.
make sure all other mapping variables and addressbook values imported properly.

BPEL FTP Adapter Issue

I am trying to run the tutorials/129.FTPAdapter example.
1) placed my FTP configuration in Oracle_Home\integration\orabpel\system\appserver\oc4j\j2ee\home\a
pplication-deployments\default\FtpAdapter\oc4j-ra.xml file.
2) created the input, output folder is my ftp
3) deployed the FTPDebatching process.
The process started polling the FTP- input directory immediately after deployment.
But when I place the container.txt file in the input folder then its not reading the contents of that file and no exception message is thrown
But when I manually initiate the process by giving some input then its writing the input in to a file in FTP- output directory.
But it should pick up the file from input directory when it is place over there.
polling frequency is 1 minute.
Am I missing some configuration ????????

Did you define in your first activity to create an instance? If you stated in your first activity in your bpel process he needs to create an instance, he will instantiate your process when a file is picked up by the polling mechanism.

Seeburger FTP adapter Configuration

Hi all,
Can anyone help me how to proceed with EDIFACT D96A-->Idoc Scenario.
Thanks
Gopi

Hi
you have to configure the sender file adapter at the sender side. in the sender file adapter you have to use the BIC module that will convert the EDIFACT msg into EDIFACT XML message.
the conversion of EDIFACT to EDIFACT XML is done by the BIC mapping E2X.
you can create the E2X mapping using the BIC mapper by selecting the option createE2Xmapping
Thanks

Seeburger Adapter issue

Hi,
when we try to upload multiple file into destination server. We are receiving a error as handshake failure.
We are working on HA clustered enviornment.
The error is basically happen, when muti-session pull and push on the
destination server, the server will reject the connection.
We tried in Dev, single node server architecture, which works fine for
muti-file transaction,but getting error traffic for muti-file failed for QA environment.
I assume it is the crusting server setup in QA that cause the problem. So
do you have any idea of how to disable cluster nodes only for seeburger FTP
adapter?
regards,
MMK

Hello Frederic,
I also have a similar issue.
I have two communication channels configured: one communication channel which is a VAN sender and one communication channel is a VAN receiver (both are FTP adapters from Seeburger). From the configuration guide of the Seeburger FTP/VAN adapter, I understand that IE/FTP interfaces only allows for a single connection for a single mailbox. The documentation refers the users to the "Seeburger Master Installation Guide" but I can't find any relevant details there.
My XI environment has two server nodes used to connect to the VAN. Consequently, I ran into problems with "duplication session" errors. I am currently experimenting with Resource Management available from the Seeburger Workbench, in particular, setting up resources and assignments to ensure that only one session is connected to the VAN at any one time. However, I am struggling with how the resource should be created/configured (logical/logical choice, # of channels (total), # of channels (incoming)) and how they should be assigned. Please advise on what is the proper setup in the context of my environment.
Your help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Configuring a Seeburger FTP Receiver Adapter

Hello,
I am trying to build a scenario where SAP ECC 6 sends an invoice to a customer via EDI.
We are using ECC 6.0 and PI 7.0 and the Generic Seeburger EDI Adapters. The VAN is a GEIS EDISWITCH VAN (Eircom in Ireland).
I am able to successfully send an IDoc from ECC 6 and into PI where a Seeburger map converts the message to EDI-XML format. I can use a file adapter to create a file in normal EDI format. But I can't get the Seeburger FTP adapter to work with the VAN.
I have configured the correct IP, port, username and password but I keep getting the following message when the communication channel tries to send the message:
<h6>Message processing failed. Cause: javax.resource.ResourceException: Fatal exception: com.sap.aii.af.ra.cci.XIRecoverableException: >> Description: com.seeburger.jftp.app.exception.FtpExceptionSoftProcessingError: Unexpected reply: 501-Syntax errors in parameter. usage: %[recipient id]%[APRF] where either [recipient] or [APRF] can be omitted. (to change your current default SEND relationship). %% (places you in your 'HOME' TR). &['s'|'single'] ('get' command gets single file). &['m'|'multiple'] ('get' command gets multiple files). >> </h6>
The FTP session is expecting a PUT command with the recipient id and APRF as parameters but these are not getting passed. I suspect this is because I am not passing the correct variables to the receiver adapter but I don't know what variables it expects and where they should be specified. And I can't find the answers in the documentation.
Can anyone shed some light on what I need to do?
Thanks,
Ben

Hi Prateek,

Handle received reports: Refer reports to XI system
There is nowhere in the communication channel configuration that allows me to specify the receiver ID or the APRF. The documentation say this is read from the EDI data and the relevant fields are populated.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Ben

Hi,
I think you need to use Seeburger's FTP adapter instead of normal FTP adapter.

Seeburger FTP Pull

Hi,
I'm getting a problem when pulling a file with the Seeburger FTP adapter. The error is logged in the ftp.trc file but I'm not seeing anything in sxmb_moni. Any body would know where the "pulled" file is temporary stored before being processed by the integration server?
Rgds,
Yves

ok, now it makes a bit more sense, you basically got 2 problems:
1.) you can't see the file the FTP has picked up
2.) BIC runs on error
some suggestions to solve
1) See page 43 of the SAPXI_FTPAdapter_en.pdf documentation
Message Dumping
For debugging purposes, it is possible to dump the complete FTP files to a directory on the SAP XI
Server.
Message dumping can be enabled via the J2EE Admin. Go to the ConnectorContainer service and
select the FTP/VAN Adapter. Go to the ManagedConnectionFactory tab and then to the Properties
sub-tab. Now the transmissionDataDump property can be changed:
When the save button is clicked, the adapter is restarted and dumping is activated / deactivated.
Be sure to only use dumping for debugging purposes, since it reduces the performance of
the FTP/VAN Adapter.
The dump files are saved to the <your sap installation>/server0/seeburger/ftp/dump directory.
Another option is, do you use the Seeburger Archiving Solution ? Then you can configure a FileStore before the BIC Module and you'll be able to download the document from the Archive. See SAPXI_Archiving_en.pdf
2) Total Offset 2409, you can check in the file that your Vendor send you it is probably toward the end of the file. Maybe they have an extra CRLF after the IEA, that would confuse BIC or the VAN adds like an EOF, which can't be processed. Maybe that happens when the VAN is decrypting the Message from AS2.
Why don't you do AS2 directly with your Trading Partner and save the VAN cost ?

Andrea

Issue with SAP PI FTP Adapter

Hi All,
We are seeing an issue with the FTP Adapter Communication Channel in SAP PI 7.1. When the communication channel is connecting to a FTP Server and if the connection request timeout ( ex: SFTP Server down ) we see a connection error .
However the overall communciation channel status doesnot refelct it and it is still in GREEN status. The status being wrong doesnt raise an adapter CCMS alert. Also we are seeing that the communication channel stops all connection attempts after the failure for that communication channel.
Wanted to check if anyone has seen or encountered the issue and how did you get past the problem.
Thanks in advance..
Arunava

Hi,
Could you please let me know whether it is sender communication channel or receiver ?
Also please check below.
1. Java messaging system queues are free or hanged ?
2. Please mention time out paramter in the channel.
3. Did you try Start/Stop the channel.
Please get back to me.
Regards,
Sachin
