Sender File Adapter (1 Header only, Multiple Detail) withour keyfield ?

Hi,
is that possible to read file with content converstion for this file structure below :
100,200,10-AUG-2010
ABC,500,100
DEF,400,200
GFD,400,200
Since every file only contain 1 headers there is no idicator header and detail.
Please advise how to achieve this scenario in the sender content conversion parameters.
Best Regards
Fernand

Hi,
This is possible via FCC as Chirag suggested. You just need to play with the parameters of the content conversion to achieve your requirement, Example:
100,abc,20-JAN-2011
DEF,ABC,1000,500,2000,300
DEF,ABC,1000,500,2000,300
DEF,ABC,1000,500,2000,300
Recordset Structure: header,1,details,*
Recordsets Per Message: 1
Key Fields are left blank
main.fieldSeparator     ,
main.endSeparator    'nl'
main.fieldNames      field1,field2,date
details.fieldSeparator ,
details.endSeparator 'nl'
details.fieldNames    field3,field4,field5,field6,field7,field8
for more information, please refer to this page:

Sender File Adapter should run only when trigger file is found PI 7.1

I am using PI 7.1 . I have a File Sender Adapter communication channel that needs to poll for a trigger file - input.trg . Only If that is found then it needs to pick up the actual data file - input.dat . The Transport Protocol is FTP not NFS, so I cannot use standard features like 'Addtional Files'.
Is there any other workaround for this ? OS Commands etc?
I have also read that I can use BPM for this . Could anyone help me out with the steps and if you have any good blog on BPM.
Thanks !

Hi Dev,
You can use BPM for this. The steps benig
1. Fork with two receive step (one for trigger file and one for dat) . The end condition of fork is when both brach is completed.
2. transformation step
3. send step
you can use a dummy correlation between the two input files (trigger and dat input file)..

Key field value in outbound/sender file adapter

Hi,
I have a flat file coming in PI. The structre for the same is
1. Detail record line ocurs n number of time
2.Summary record line occurs only once at the end
I have defined a datatype as follows
<DT>
   <Recordset>
        <Detail>
           All the detail fields
        </Detail>
       <Summary>
           All the summary fields
       </Summary>
</Recordset>
</DT>
Now the number of detail record is not know. But there is only one summary record.
In the sender file adapter do we need to configure the keyfield paramter? If the number of detail record is * .
The problem is the input file does not has any key field to parse/identify the detail or sumary record.
Any alternative?
Thanks

hi ,
if you have two structures so do like this:
Recordset strucrure                detail,summary*
detail.fieldFixedlength          :          10,20
detail.fieldNames                 :        xxx,yyy
summary.fieldFixedlength     :         10,20
summary.fieldNames           :        www,vvv
rest configuration will be same.
hope this will help.

How to configure Sender File Adapter to pick couples files in order !!

Hi Folks,
I am really looking for one requirement like, Sender file adapter has to pick multiple files by file name based with some time gap? Can we?
I have got one BPM in this, I have tried with Process mode : Name and Date, with wait step on BPM, but no use. The way how PI behaving, if 40 files in file directory, it is picking all files in one shot. Start processing but not in order.
The problem is on Receiver system side. The receiver system is SNC system, if old data receives later than earlier date data; we get data obsolete application error.
Ex: If I receive 25th and 26th files, first I need to process 25th first on PI sends to SNC, I need to give some time gap and pick another file or even PI picks and process 26th file, no problem but I need to give some time gap to send SNC to this 26th date file?
Please how guys, throw me your great ideas
Thanks in advance!!
Regards
San

@ Sandhya
If there are 40 files , can you please specify how many types of files are ther like say first A type shud be picked then B type then C type and so on so forth ?
LIke in my case I had only three types of files file1 and file 2 file 3
and in the directory also only three files will be placed at a time
you need to have some logic to separate the type of files in differnt folders and then process them
@ farooq yes . it will create problem if 40 files are kept at a time .

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.

Sender file adapter to pick up only 2 files at a time

Hi ,
I need to configure my sender file adapter in a way so that it picks up only 2 files at a time even though at FTP more files are placed.
Mudit Mehra

Hi,
As said above there is no such option to pick only 2 files at a time, however if possible you can create files in the sender/source directory in a manner that only two files are created at a time.
Thanks!

How to pick files from multiple directories via Sender File Adapter?

Hi guys,
I have a scenario File to IDOC. The Sender File Adapter has to take all files: .xml from Source directory E://Current/.
Actually directories are like
E:/Plant1/Current/
E:/Plant1/History/
E:/Plant2/Current/
E:/Plant2/History/.
Can I have one Sender File Adapter to pick all *.xml files
from
E:/Plant1/Current/ and
E:/Plant2/Current/ and how can I write it in Source Directory of Communication Channel?
Or do I have to have a Sender File Adapter for each Plant?
Any suggestion please?
Kind regards,
Danijela Zivanovic

Sender File Adapter - Fixed Length

We have a Fixed File(Sender). With 3 fields. NO Header. Space is the separator for each fields
VendorNumber 10 bytes
VendorName    10 bytes
City           5 bytes
In the File we can have multiple records.
The Root Node is Vendor.
I am trying to define the SENDER FILE ADAPTER in the following way (I have referred mostly all the blogs) but my file is not picking up for some reason.
File looks like this
V123456789 A123456789 Bosto
V234567890 B123456789 Atlan
V334587900 C123456789 Austi
Note : I have been asked to give the Transport Protocol as   "NFS" (Whether this is the problem???) I have summarised the complete details below. Please help me
Adapter Type : File       Sender
Transport Protocol : NFS
Message Protocol   : File Content Convervsion
Adapter Engine     : Integration Server
FILE ACCESS PARAMETERS
Source Directory :   /business
file Name        :   vendor.txt
Content Conversion Parameters
Document Name : Vendor
Document NameSpace: http://sap.com/xi/XI/SplitAndMerge
Recordsetname : Message1
Record Structure : File_MT,*
Recordset Sequence: Ascending
Key Field type    : String(Case Sensitive)
Additional Parameters
File_MT.fieldFixedLengths 10,10,5
File_MT.fieldNames        VendorNumber,VendorName,City
File_MT.fieldSeparator
File_MT..processFieldNames fromConfiguration.

Hi Naveen,
      Do check the following things,
>>Note : I have been asked to give the Transport Protocol as "NFS" (Whether this is the problem???) I have summarized the complete details below. Please help me
       1.If your file resides on your local network/local computer give NFS(Network file system). if your file resides on a FTP location give FTP and also give the FTP log on parameters.
Additional Parameters
File_MT.fieldFixedLengths 10,10,5
File_MT.fieldNames VendorNumber,VendorName,City
File_MT.fieldSeparator
File_MT..processFieldNames fromConfiguration
       2.If this structure does not match with the input file structure the file adapter wont pick up the file. So check for the help document provided by SAP in the following path.
help.sap.com --> Documentation --> SAPNetWeaver --> SAPNetWeaver '04 --> English --> process integration --> SAP Exchange Infrastructure --> connectivity --> Adapters --> File Adapter
       Your file contains three records
V123456789 A123456789 Bosto
V234567890 B123456789 Atlan
V334587900 C123456789 Austi
You have mentioned the fieldSeperator as space but there is no File_MT.endSeparator '/n' which differentiates between each and every row (record).
        Parameters for Record set Structures mentioned in the sender adapter configuration does not match with the actual file structure .
        Try giving exact structures in the configuration of sender file adapter.

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

Sender File Adapter - Content Conversion

HI Friends,
I got a scenario where I need to convert the File to XML document through Sender file adapter..
My file looks like below.
BATCH1234........
12DASER123142JMM
237DSAFDLKC839890
45SDFLASJ90011
BATCH3455...
132FGAR
SD21352525
BATCH998898...
123145DSRTW
12FSTS
So there is a Header and Body for each record set..
My XML Structure is as follows.
<TimeStructure>
<TimeRecord>
     <ControlRec>
         <Field1>BATCH </Field1>
         <Field2> ...</Field2>
     </ControlRec>
     <DataRec>
         <F1> ...... </F1>
         <F2> ...... </F2>
     </DataRec>
</TimeRecord>
<TimeRecord>
     <ControlRec>
         <Field1> BATCH </Field1>
         <Field2> ADFAS </Field2>
     </ControlRec>
     <DataRec>
         <F1> ...... </F1>
         <F2> ...... </F2>
     </DataRec>
   </TimeRecord>
</TimeStructure>
The blog <a href="/people/shabarish.vijayakumar/blog/2006/02/27/content-conversion-the-key-field-problem:///people/shabarish.vijayakumar/blog/2006/02/27/content-conversion-the-key-field-problem
is somewhat relevant to my requirement.
But the problem is I have the keyfield "BATCH" for my header file but don't have any <b>key field in the data record</b> of the input file.
Please help me out how to mention the configuration parameters.
Regards,
Kumar

Hi,
If you don't have constant key value for your detail records, then you can not directly get the required xml.
So in this case, you can read all the records in a common Row model, i.e each record will be considered as a one row with all the values, and then split this row with Substring or java functions in the mapping.
Even you can do this in the Adapter module .
If you have key value for each record to identify then you can try with content conversion.

Moorthy

Sender file adapter error

Hi,
The sender file adapter is reading a fixed width file . The file is not to be seen in the sxmb_moni. In the adapter monitoring is showing processed and green in color.
How do i resolve this issue.
In my recordset contains multiple substructures
<Recordset>
        <Header>
             type
             code
             id
        </Header>
        <Item>
                    type
                    qty
                    price
        </Item>
</Recordset>
Header.fieldFixedLengths = 1,5,10
Header.endSeparator = 'nl'
Header.fieldNames = TYPE,CODE,ID
Header.keyFieldValue = 01
Item.fieldFixedLengths = 4,5
Item.endSeparator = 'nl'
Item.fieldNames = QTY,PRICE
Item.keyFieldValue = 02
What should i give in keyFieldValue . Is the above configuration correct.
Kindly suggest
Thanks
Varghese

Hi,
The key field value is normally a record type identifier. For example, a header record may always start with '1' or 'HD', and an item record may always start with '2' or 'IT' in your file. The 'type' field, which appears in both header and item records in your example, fits in as the identifier.
So, your parameters should be:
Header.fieldFixedLengths = 1,5,10 (or maybe 2,5,10)
Header.endSeparator = 'nl'
Header.fieldNames = TYPE,CODE,ID
Header.keyFieldValue = 1 (or maybe HD)
Item.fieldFixedLengths = 1,4,5 (or maybe 2,4,5)
Item.endSeparator = 'nl'
Item.fieldNames = TYPE,QTY,PRICE
Item.keyFieldValue = 2 (or maybe IT)
If your file has varying values of TYPE instead of 1,2 (or HD or IT), the File Adapter will not be able to handle the structured file. You may have to choose the option 'File without content conversion'.
Hope this helps,
Bhanu

Send File Adapter - keyFieldValue like 'not(H,B)'

Hi,
I've a problem in a sender file adapter.
The file has one header line, multiple body lines and one trailer line. The structure of the flat file is like:
H; 0815; text;
0235;my text; 745;7...
6341;your text; 464;4 ...
2342;another text; 726;2
T; 3; OK
For header and trailer line there is a key field but for body lines there isn't.
My idea:
I take the first field of body lines as key field and define keyFieldValue like 'not(H,T)'.
Is there a way to define keyFieldValues with expressions with 'not' and 'or' ?
Or have anyone a different idea to solve the problem ?
Regards
Christoph
