Send .vdu,.txt files (File adapter)

Hi Everyone,
I have a bunch of text files with different extensions (.TXT,.VDU ETC) Would like to FTP these files to different server. Here is the problem "I want to send these files directly to the receiving file server". Should I use File content conversion?.I heard that we can send any file using a converter. Is that true?
I want a response from the receiving FTP server to update a SAPZTABLE whether the file has received successfully or not.Is that possible?
Thanks in advance.
Thanks,
Gowri

Hi Gaurav,
Thanks for your help.Its really quick. I had tried the code in the below mentioned steps.
1. Created message mapping between two identical message types.
2. Created UDF function with name "result".
3. Deleted argument line and selected radiobutton "CONTEXT".
4. COPY PASTED your given code.
5. Mapped RESULT to TARGET name.
6. In the TEST tab I gave file name executed the code.
7.Got below error
22:50:04 Start of test
Compilation of test_af2f_mm successful Runtime exception during processing target field mapping /ns0:test_af2f_mt/binaryfile/filename.

Problem: The same filename from a sender to a receiver file adapter - SP14

Blog : /people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/11/10/xi-the-same-filename-from-a-sender-to-a-receiver-file-adapter--sp14
My Problem:
The thing works for me and i am able to get my input files name as my output file name. But one thing i noticed is that in my target message, the field where i have mapped the code it always returns the value "null" but finally when the file is created i get the required result.
My input file name is input.txt and i get the same name in my output file too.
In sxmb_moni if i check DynamicConfiguration link i see the following
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
-

</Body>
- <Trailer>
<keyfield>03</keyfield>
<field2>null</field2> -> Null value instead of input.txt
</Trailer>
</ns0:MT_Putfile>
The code i have used to map the field2 of the trailer is the following ....
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container.getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File","FileType");
String valueOld = conf.get(key);
return valueOld; 
Any clues ?

Gosh this is spooky
Anyway i tried with that line of code but it throws me an error during activation ...

Hi ,
I guess your content conversion is wrong. And your input XML is also not very clear.
The strcuture should be:
MT_name (document : MESSAGE_MT)
|
Recorset (Recorset name Optional)
|
Recordset_str (VendorDetail)
|
Fields like vendorName
You have used messages as document. its wrong
your content conversion should be:
Document Name : MESSAGE_MT
Document Namespace space:urn:zz.com:HR:BENEFITS
Recordset Name: recordset (can take any dummy name if this is not described in ur XML structure)
Recordset Namespace :
<Recordset Structure: create on structure i.e parent node of VendorNo,VendorName e.g VendorDetail>
Recordset Structure: VendorDetail,1
Recordset Sequence: Ascending
Key field Name : you dont equire as there is only one recorset str
Key Field type: Not required
VendorDetail.fieldFixedLengths: 5,10
VendorDetail.fieldName: VendorNo,VendorName
VendorDetail.endseparator: ' ' or 'nl' for new line
ignoreRecordsetName: true.
Hope this works.

The same filename from a sender to a receiver file adapter

Michal has provided us with a brilliant <a href="/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/11/10/xi-the-same-filename-from-a-sender-to-a-receiver-file-adapter--sp14. I guess a lot of people have been waiting to do this. However, I have a slightly different scenario. In this case, XI is used as a medium to transfer a PDF file from one directory to another directory. There is not transformation or mapping involved.
The message is send by File Sender Adapter and received by File Receiver Adapter. Message type is created as a simply type hexBinary. The file is supposed to be picked up as a PDF and received as a PDF, retaining the same file name. As such, the file name is neither stored in the source structure nor the target structure.
Once the PDF file is transfered into target directory, it should be able to be open by using Acrobat directly without further conversion.
We might add a file name file into the target structure but would that rendered the PDF non-readable upon being received by the File Receiver Adapter?
Any feedback is highly appreciated.

Hi
>>We might add a file name file into the target structure but would that rendered the PDF non-readable upon being received by the File Receiver Adapter?
No, adding file name would not hamper the properties. You can name *.pdf or something else.
For that matter any file pdf, word, .msg format etc can be transferred by this approach. We have tried it.
Earlier to SP14 you cannot give the same name to outgoing file without writing a Adapter module. But things are easy with SP14.

Send attachment via Receiver FILE/JMS adapter without using any Mapping.

Hi,
R/3 program creates one (encoded) text file, which I want to send via Proxy to JMS adapter without any mapping or FCC.
Note: I don't want to use File adapter to pick the file from R3 dir and then send it to JMS.
Reference: I have gone through below mentioned blog which produces the attachment in the XI payload but I am not able to write the same attachment to my XI dir using Receiver File adapter (File adapter is just for testing actual adapter will be used as Receiver JMS adapter).
/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2006/04/19/xi-rfc-or-abap-proxy-abap-proxies-with-attachments
Regards,
Sarvesh

> note sure why you want to complicate things here
Actually the idea was to explore the possibilities of "Proxy with attachment". And I also wanted to confirm with experts like you before going to other options. Anyway it seems it's only possible with mail adapter.
Reason for exploring above possibility: Since ABAP team has to create one text file and encode it, so we thought to call the outbound proxy in the ABAP program to send the same file as an attachment and then simply send it to JMS. Which is quite obvious thinking when you don't want to manage a share directory between R3 & XI or don't want to manage FTP user and pwd.
> i think the simplest thing is to go for a simple file to jms configuration unless you have any specific reasons for not doing so.
This we already kept in our mind as a last option in case if above thing is not possible then we can easily do it by this way.
Thanks a lot for suggestion.

File receiver adapter with the same filename than sender

Hi guys,
I am experiencing a problem when I use the Adapter Specific Message Properties to be able to receive a file with the same name as the sender.
I've been following the example of Michal Krawczyk (XI: The same filename from a sender to a receiver file adapter - SP14) but i get a problem related with the content converter parameters.
The error I receice in the File Adapter is the next:
Could not process due to error: java.lang.Exception: Exception in XML Parser (format problem?):'java.lang.Exception: Message processing failed in XML parser: 'java.lang.Exception: Consistency error: more fields found in XML structure than specified in conversion parameters!
I have been trying to do all the combinations with the content conversion parameters but the result is allways the same, MORE FIELDS FOUND IN XML ....
My XML structure is the next:
<ns0:MT_MDFranceN xmlns:ns0="urn:s-n:HR:MasterDataFrance">
 <lines>
 <line>
 <header/> 1..1
 <data/> 0...unbound
 </line>
 </lines>
</ns0:MT_MDFranceN>
In the header I write the name of the file with the code provided by SAP and Michal, so the name of the file is stored there.
any help?
Thanks!!!!!

I have changed the XML because, as you said, there is no need to introduce the filename inside the payload. Now the structure is the next:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ns0:MT_MDFranceN xmlns:ns0="urn:s-n:HR:MasterDataFrance">
 <lines>
 <line>
 <data/>
 </line>
 </lines>
</ns0:MT_MDFranceN>
Record Structure: lines,line
line.addHeaderLine 0
line.endSeparator 'nl'
lines.fieldSeparator 'nl'
line.fieldFixedLengths 1300
A sample of the payload is the next:
- <ns0:MT_MDFranceN xmlns:ns0="urn:s-n:HR:MasterDataFrance">
- <lines>
- <line>
<data>EDI_DC40_U5300000</data>
<data>E2HR_HD001 530000000000007802</data>
<data>E2HR_KY001 530000000000101TS 20070104000010 20070129</data>
000000601</data>
</line>
</lines>
</ns0:MT_MDFranceN>
And..... I still have the same problem, the same message in the file adapter:
 'java.lang.Exception: Consistency error: more fields found in XML structure than specified in conversion parameters
Any idea of what can be the problem?
thank you very much!!!

The same filename from a sender to a receiver file adapter - SP14

Hi Expers,
I Have Gone through the link which is given bu Michal.
/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/11/10/xi-the-same-filename-from-a-sender-to-a-receiver-file-adapter--sp14
Here My Questions are.........
1.Should we give any file name in the receiver side Adapter in this scenario.?????
2.How wil be the Sender and Receiver Communication channel Parameters????
What Are they???????
Please Clarify me...
Regards
Khanna

Hi Rajesh,
Is your query related to sending the file name from the source xml document to the reciever file adapter. If so this can be achieved.
Pls. do the following.
1. In the mapping program that you are using populate the filename coming from the source into the target root element.
2.Sender adapters can write adapter-specific attributes to the message header; these can then be evaluated at configuration time
3. To change the adapter-specific attributes of the message header by using message mappings, you access the required classes of the mapping API by using a mapping runtime constant.
Note: You donot need to specify any filename in the receiver communication channel.
To access the classes DynamicConfiguration and DynamicConfigurationKey by using the mapping runtime constant DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION, use the method getTransformationParameters() of the container object.
Create an simple user defined function in the mapping and use the following code.
Imports: com.sap.aii.mapping.api.*;
Parameter: String filename
Paramter: String filename;
filename = fileName + ".DAT";
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container
.getTransformationParameters()
.get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create( "http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File", "FileName");
conf.put(key, filename);
return filename;
You donot need to hard code the value of the filename in the file adapter for your interface.
In SXMB_MONI, when you see the pipeline services you would see that the value of the filename is populated in the message payload.
Thanks

Sender File/FTP Adapter - Matching Input to Message Type

Hi,
I have a sender file/ftp adapter which is using content conversion to generate an XML document from the contents of a text file. This works fine and when I go into the SXI Monitor I can see the XML document I expect:
<ns:DN_360BalanceExtract xmlns:ns="http://xxx">
<ns:RN_360BalanceExtract xmlns:ns="http://xxx">
<BalanceRecord>

 <OffenceDescription>xxx</OffenceDescription>
 <CurrentStateOfCase>RE-OPENED; CLOSED IN ERROR</CurrentStateOfCase>
 <OutstandingBalance>70.00</OutstandingBalance>
 </BalanceRecord
<BalanceRecord>

 <CurrentStateOfCase>xxx</CurrentStateOfCase>
 <OutstandingBalance>60.00</OutstandingBalance>
</BalanceRecord>
</ns:RN_360BalanceExtract>
</ns:DN_360BalanceExtract>
Having created the XML document from a text file I now wish to use the XML as input to a web service. This will of course involve mapping the XML document to a message in the inbound interface. Question is how do associate the XML generated with a Message Type in the outbound interface. Do I need to make sure the Document or Recordset names match that of a Message Type ?
Cheers,
PaulC.

Hi Paul
The content conversion will create a document like that if you insert DN_360BalanceExtract as Document name, "http://xxx" as namespace.
RN_360BalanceExtract will probably be your recordset, with its namespace.
More information about content conversion on sender file adapter:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/EN/ae/d03341771b4c0de10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm
I'm not sure what you mean by bound. If you mean that PI has to execute mapping you created for that DN_360BalanceExtract message type, you need to associate DN_360BalanceExtract to a message interface and then create all configuration objects and choose that message mapping when you create the interface determination object.

Giuseppe

Maximum file size data that can be send to MQ using mq adapter

Dear All,
What is the maximum file size data that can be send to MQ using mq adapter ?
The file can be csv, fixed , xml.
Please let me know if anybody is aware of any limitations
Best Regards
Arc

If you are on 10g then you are looking at a limit of 7MB, although any messages over 1MB will require some tuning.
You can integrate using the native schema, or xml so you can use csv, fixed length, and xml files.

File adapter sends return message to SOAP adapter

Hi,
I have managed to send a message using a SOAP sender adapter to a file using the file adapter. The respective message is written to a file. Though both adapters are configured to work in an asynchronous way, the file adapter seems to try to return as message. This results in an error message: "Das Interface-Mapping ... ist nicht im Laufzeit-Cache vorhanden". I have updated and checked the runtime cache. The respective mapping program is available and working, since the file adapter writes the send date to the file. So why this message?
Kind regards,
Heiko

The file adapter replies the sent message, when it is addressed in sync mode.
Set in the SOAP sender channel the Quality-of-Service to Exactly-Once to avoid this behavior.

How to Send a .txt file through FTPTARGET connector of Integration Broker

Hi,
Is it possible to send a .txt file(infact anyfile other than xml format) to a host server using FTP Target connector of Integration Broker. If so can someone explain the steps to achieve it.
Regards,
Uday

Yes, you can do that. I've done exactly that couple years ago.
If I remember currently, below is a high level of how I did it.
Read the file you want to send into the buffer using GetString function like:
+/*A single string containing the entire contents of the file including line terminator.+
+ After this method completes successfully, the temp file is deleted.*/+
+&FileData = &FiletoRead.GetString();+
The function deletes the file so I had to create a temp copy of what i want to send and read that copy instead of the original file. Also, IB will have issues if you are trying to send an empty file. so i did a basic check, if the file is empty then put something in it.
rem -- IB message will fail if we are trying to send an empty file;
If None(&FileData) Or
+&FileData = "" Or+
+&FileData = " " Then+
MessageBox(0, "", 0, 0, ("File " | &sTargetFileName | " is empty."));
+&FileData = "No Data Found!";+
End-If;
Next, you need to load the file data that are now in &FileData to IB:
+&MSG = CreateMessage(@&sServiceOperation);+
+/* Generate the XML doc. */+
+&dFtp = CreateXmlDoc("");+
rem -- &bReturn = &dFtp.LoadIBContent("Some text inside of a file to send through IB!");
+&bReturn = &dFtp.LoadIBContent(&FileData);+
Then put XML into the message and publish it:
+/*put the XML in the message*/+
+&MSG.SetXmlDoc(&dFtp);+
+%IntBroker.Publish(&MSG);+
You might need to load some IBConnectorInfo and override them using your PC. I had to do that to get the password for the FTP transmission encrypted:
/* Encrypt the password */
&pscipher = CreateJavaObject("com.peoplesoft.pt.integrationgateway.common.EncryptPassword");
&encPassword = &pscipher.encryptPassword(&sPassword);
&pscipher = Null;
Good luck and hope this helps.

Sending more than 1 file as attachments in FTP

Hi,
Seeking your inputs as how to send more than 1 file ( *.txt, *.jpg etc..)
as attachments using FTP adapter.
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Pavithra

The sender file adapter is configured to pick the normal payload which is specified in the File access parameters, and the additional image file that is to be sent as an attachment is configured under the Additional File(s).The file type will be binary.

Configuring the sender FILE adapter
The sender file adapter is configured to pick the normal payload (file1.xml), which is specified in the File
access parameters, and the additional image file (file1.jpg) that is to be sent as an attachment is configured
under the Additional File(s) as shown in the screenshot below. The file type would still remain binary.
Since, by default, XI sends payload and attachments in XML format, we need to call two beans, namely the
MessageTransformBean and the PayloadSwapBean to help us is transforming the content to jpeg format
and also change the file extension.
The PayloadSwapBean module is used to replace the application payload of the XI message that holds the
data with another payload which is appended to the message as an attachment. In our case, the payload
would be file1.xml whereas the attachment would be file1.jpg
The swap module is denoted in our scenario with the module key swap. It has two parameters from the
MIME header.
Thanks !!!

Variable Substitution File Receiver Adapter

Hi,
I am in the process of implementing a scenario involving the conversion of a .jpg file to .bmp. In my scenario, I'd like to the .bmp file name to be dynamically controlled; therefore, I have used the Variable Substitution option in the File Receiver Adapter.
In both the File Sender & Receiver comm. channels, I have ticked 'Adapter Specific Messsage Attributes' check-box and selected the 'File Name' option.
The File Receiver comm. channel also has the following:
File Name Scheme*: %File_Name%.bmp
Variable Name: File_Name
Reference: message:FileName
Having done the above, I am getting the following error message in Comm. Channel Monitoring:
Message processing failed. Cause: com.sap.aii.af.ra.ms.api.RecoverableException: Error during variable substitution: com.sap.aii.adapter.file.varsubst.VariableDataSourceException: Unknown message header category 'FileName' for variable 'File_Name'.: com.sap.aii.adapter.file.configuration.DynamicConfigurationException: Error during variable substitution: com.sap.aii.adapter.file.varsubst.VariableDataSourceException: Unknown message header category 'FileName' for variable 'File_Name'.

Quality of service in Receiver file/ftp adapter (SAP PI 7.1)?

Hi,
    We are building an IDoc to File scenario in SAP PI 7.1, where a single incoming idoc will create three different output files. Also files must be created in target server in a specific order.
    Our first idea to ensure that files would be created following a specific order was that Message mapping (in Java) build target payload with all three files following expected sequence.
    In addition, receiver file/ftp adapter is setup with a dynamic variable to create each file with a different filename adding also timestamp.
    Testing the scenario, we see that three files are created in target server but when we sort them by creation date, it seems they don't follow always same sequence.
    Sometimes adapter creates File1, File2, File3; next time it created File2, File1, File3 and so on.
    Our problem is that files must be created always with a specific order and we cannot use BPM. Does anyone know if a receiver file/ftp adapter can be setup to create files following specific sequence (EOIO)?
    I know that sender file/ftp adapter can be setup with a quality of service, but I didn't find anything similar for Receiver file/ftp adapter.
    Suggestions will be welcome.
Kind Regards,
Aitor

Hi,
     First, thanks all of you for your quick answers. They were helpful because we learnt a new configuration setting.
     We tried your suggestions but they didn't really fix our problem.
     Finally interface has been re-designed and we will not have to apply this logic, so no issue from our side.
     However, let me continue with this topic in case that somebody else will have the same issue, then it will be able to review this thread.
     When adapter created the files in the target directory (windows server), files had the expected timestamp in each filename. However, if we sorted windows directory contents by "Date Creation", files were sorted different that timestamp shows in the filename.
     For example, adapter created following files:
File1_20090325-115117-169
File2_20090325-115117-174
File3_20090325-115117-180
     But when we sorted windows folder contents, files were sorted as follows:
File2_20090325-115117-174
File1_20090325-115117-169
File3_20090325-115117-180
     It seems that timestamp was pre-assigned by the adapter, but when adapter created the files, it did it with a temporary name and finally assigns the filename. If a file size was bigger than other, maybe it takes more time and windows creation date is higher.
     If so, it means that adapter is not following same instructions as itu2019s indicated in "maintain order at runtime" checkbox.
     Do you know if there is any way where we can push also the order in the adapter as we did in interface determination?

Dynamic file name in case of .txt output files

Hi all,
I have a query related to dynamic file name scenario.
In case of IDOC-XI-FILE sceanrio,
Is it possible to generate .txt file name based on Plant number like
%<Plantname>%_%<BusinessDay>_filename.txt
Note:I have implemneted this for .xml output files but I am not able to implement it for .txt output files .
PLEASE HELP ME .
Regards
Prabhat

Hi Prabhat,
I think, the normal Dynamic File Name generation should work fine in your case also. Even if you perform Content Conversion, you can use Variable Name Substiution to create your Destination file name as, the name of the file is determined first and only then is the content converison perfromed.
for info on content conversion, I would suggest that you go through this thread and check my reply,
