Sender communication channel with file adapter

Hi All,
Here i am facing some error with the communication channel in which i have used FILE adapter. Here i am using PI 7.0. Here i have configured the communication channel. but i didn't checked the "operating system commands". and i checked the " adapter specific message attributes". i dont know whether i have to check these adapter specific message attributes or not. When i have gone to runtime work bench there i saw in adapter monitoring. there it is not showing any error. but in communication channel monitoring it is showing that it is having -
"processing errors" but i am not getting where will be the error.. Any new ideas will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Ramana

Hi Bhavesh and Aaron,
              Here i viewed the XMl format of the sender file in the mapping. there i found the difference between the file i am trying to pick up by the adapter and the XML instance of the sender interface in mapping. The difference is there in the message type of the <ns0> tag the file i am trying to send is having one message type and name space, where as the XMl instance is having the other message type and same name space.
             i think that will the problem in processing my file. i am not sure about it.please any of you confirm that if it is th processing error i am facing or not.
            Thanks for your efforts.
Regards,
Ramana.

Multiple communication channels for file adapter based on user name

I am using this Idoc-to-File scenario, using FTP for sending the files to file server. Target directory is determined by user id which is unique for a field called ASC. Field ASC is a part of incoming Idoc. There are 40 ASC; that means I have 40 user ids/password. Is there way of creating a file communication channel where user id/password can be supplied dynamically. Or there is an alternative to creating 40 different channels, one for each ASC.
Thanks,
Dehra

Hi,
you need to create 40 channels if you have users
as dynamically you can only create:
File Name
Directory
File Type
File Encoding
Temporary Name Scheme for Target File Name
with FTP adapter

Issue while archiving the processed file in sender communication channel using SFTP adapter

Hi All,
In one of my scenario (File to IDOC), we are using SFTP sender communicationchannel.

Problems with File adapter

Hi All
I am facing some problems with XI system. XI production server was restarted couple of days back. From that time, 1 file is not reaching its destination. When i go to communication channel monitoring, i see this message for all the communication channels with file adapter "No adapter registered for this channel".
But, communication channels with SOAP adapter are working fine, and the corresponding files are reaching its destinations. So, what should i do to rectify this probelm? Do we have to restart XI server onceagain? Is there anything pirticular, to be careful about, while restarting XI system?
Many Thanks in Advance
Chandra Sekhar

Hi Chandra shekar,
Plz try to do the following steps:
1)Try after restarting the Java Stack.
2)Try after SLD cache.
To clear the SLD cache, from the Integration Builder main menu, choose Environment ® Delete Cache for SLD Data.
Once we have deleted the cache for SLD data, accessing objects in the SLD may take longer than usual initially.
This will help you to find SP Level

FILE SENDER COMMUNICATION CHANNEL DOESN'T GET FILE

Hi,
I have create a new sender communication channel with ftp file configuration. Server parameter and source directory are correct.
I have also checked file and directory permission (chmod 777)
Poll interval is 600 secs.
There is no error in communication channel monitor (returned log: CC is correctly configured and started).
Process started every poll interval, but no file is picked up.
Why?
Carme

Hi,
What type of file are you processing. Check whether the file type is binary or text mode.
Also check whether the file name you have specified in the CC and the exact file in the directory are the same.
Also check the file processing mode, whether it is read only, delete or in test mode.
If the file is in read only mode when the file first processed, then once the file was processed it would be in read only mode, so if you place the new file it should process, so try deleting the existing file in the directory and place a new file with exact file name along with the correct extension and try to process it.
Also I would suggest you check the exact file extension, by unchecking the radio button in the folder option under the menu tools> Folder options> view-->hide extension for file type.

Sender communication channel stopped after error "Connection Timed Out"

Hi experts,
in our scenario we have an asyncronous sender communication channel with polling every 6 seconds to an external FTP server.
Yesterday evening a "Connection Timed Out" error came.
After this error the polling stopped but channel in communication channel monitoring still remains green.
So status green but no polling.
To solve this problem we stopped and then restarted channel from CC monitoring.
The channel is configured "manually".
The question is: Is it possible to avoid this problem? Maybe there's a parameter in configuration to set?
After a time out error the channel must go on polling, it should not stop. Or it must shows red status.
Thanks

BIC Module Error in Sender Communication channel for EDI to File scenario.

Hi Experts,
We are working on the EDI based scenarion where EDI files come to SAP PI from partner and then through Split 997 Adapter Func Ack is sent back to the Partner . But we are facing a issue in our sender Communication Channel which is a File Adapter Channel and uses BIC Module for the conversion of EDI to XML .Request if any one can provide any guidance on the below issue coming in sender CC.
Error: Error in BICMODULE-module:Temporary error: BIC XI Adapter call failed. Reason: 2 errors occured. First error: EdiSegmentData read(): Edifact Format not correct : segment must end with \"segment delimiter\" (Segment : ISA).

Hi Abhishek,
Is there any special character present in the EDI file?

Ok now I get your requirement.
you cant achieve this - how one receiver channel can put in two location if you dont have a dynamic configuration defined i.e Adapter specific attributes.
easy way - involve IR mapping
else
have a adapter module to define your dynamic configuration.
Ref: /people/daniel.graversen/blog/2006/10/05/dynamic-configuration-in-adapter-modules & /people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2006/10/09/xi-dynamic-configuration-in-adapter-modules--one-step-further
Set the dynamic directory/file name etc for your receiver adapter.

File sender Communication Channel is not working

Hi friends
we Created File sender Communication Channel and Activated but It is not picking up file
1. 0 messages in Message Monitoring
2. My Communication Channel not appearing in Communication Channel Monitoring also
3. We have refreshed the cache and activated the channel.
we chack with File name, Directory name and path ....
Friends have any idea
Regards

Perosnally, I would recommend setting a trace and letting the system telling you exactly why.
Traces are used to analyze runtime errors. By setting a specific trace level for specific locations, you can analyze the behavior of individual code segments at class and method level. This is done with the help of the log configurator service:
Log onto the Java Admin Console
     Services
     Log Configurator
     Locations
     Choose the location (Java package) and the tracing level (severity)
(for example, com.sap.aii.adapter.file)
     Root Location > com > sap > aii > File
     Set the severity and choose Copy Severity to Subtree

Problem with File Adapter Communication

Hi,
I have got an tab delimted file as mentioned below
601252539   5000004 5000004 ZURICH CARGO MCO 00000000005
606012525   5000005 5000004 MIKEN INC       00000000003
I have created proper sender and receiver communication channels with content conversions handled properly.
In my adapter monitoring I am able to see that my Sender & Receiver Communication channel is showing green and the messages are polled from the flat file in my sender communication channel.But I am unable to receive my messages in the receiver.I have even checked up with MONI,no messages are displayed as per my interface.
But everything is fine.When I am sending an XML file.
If there are any mistakes with Content conversion with my tab delimeted file than,some error must be shown in my Adapter monitoring showing my communication channel error.
But everything is going fine with Sender communication channel.
There is a major concern here is when I debug the problem, I found out that my content conversion is working fine and the XML document is getting created and When it is going to XI,I have observed that BLANK DOCUMENT is being sent to XI.So,as a thumb rule.SAP XI wont process any BLANK DOCUMENTS.Thats the reason why my receiver is not receing any messages.
I dont know why,when the content conversion with tab delimted file is converted in XML,When conversion is completed while sending the SAP XI is receiving a blank document.
Can any one help me.
Thank You,
KishoreJ.

Hi,
I have just given an example flat file and now even I am giving my content conversion by deleting some,which are not fitting into the page.

XI-Multiple instance scenario -File & SQL sender communication channels

Hi
i have a basic question regarding how file sender communication channel ( where we poll for a particular file pattern either using file/ftp types in a particular subfolder ) or a sql sender communication channel - ( selecting records from a sql source ) would work in a scenario with two active XI instances and j2EE file and sql adapter services running on both of the J2EE servers ?
1. How would the file polling from both J2EE servers - avoid a conflict looking for the same file pattern ? Is there any inbuilt mechanism from SAP to make multiple instances work with the file polling - without a confict ?
2. Simlar question for SQL sender type communication channel ?
If SAP does have a mechanism to handle multiple instance scenarios for file and sql sender adapter based communication channels, is there a link/document on this ?

Hi Karthik,
Please see my comments.
I am just wondering aloud - what will happen if we use a select for update clause in the sql sender adapter communication channel -
Gouri: Yes you can use select + update. In fact that is the right way.
will this ensure that polling from one J2EE instance will lock the selected records so that the second instance does not select the same set of records from the sql server ? Or should we not use a select for update and use a simple select statement ?
Gouri: Yes. SQL DB will ensure that same data will not be picked by another node. As I mentioned earlier use serilizable option from advanced mode.
