Sender file adapter - filename containing * does not work

Hi All,
I am doing simple file-file scenario wherein my filename is something like
MATMAS05_XI20070911-150159-088.xml
there are many files having similar kind of name which are supposed to be picked
so simply I can go on writing <b>MATMAS05_XI*.xml</b> in filename
it is not working.. communication monitoring gives error <i>Error occurred while connecting to the FTP server "10.25.117.237:21": java.lang.NullPointerException</i>
But when I use character '?' then it works fine - '?' placeholder for each extra character
I am on SP 20.My adapter is configured properly. FTP server working fine with '?' or simple filename. So bit confused why it is not working with *
Are there some BASIS settings which have to be in place to work it out with * ?
All your inputs are welcome !!
Thank You,
Mugdha kulkarni

Hi
this error is not related to multimple files or sending with the * char.. you can use it
see the below link
/people/mickael.huchet/blog/2006/09/18/xipi-how-to-exclude-files-in-a-sender-file-adapter
The error related to the server connection.. also check the ip address is correct or not you configured correctly or not..
also clarfity the correct error description ..

Error in sender file adapter: source directory does not exist

Hi,
The PI system is 7.11
I've created sender file adapter with following details:
Transport Protocol : File System
Source directory: /interfaces/In
I checked in AL11 that this path really exists and it does. (I can even see the .txt file that should be processed.)
But still i get in Communication Channel Monitoring the following error:
"Configured Source directory "/interfaces/In" does not exist.
(i also tried to give the source directory as "interfaces/In" and as "//interfaces/In" but still the same error.
Any suggestions as to what is wrong?

Actually, Need to use forward slash (/) to separate directory names in accordance with the Java specification.
But wanted to try if that works..
Also check directory name , path again as this is case sensitive...

No I tried File/scripts/load file into stack and still did not work.
There was an update to bridge and now it works. Thanks so much.

Sender File Adapter - No error, but not generating any message

I am working on a file to RFC scenario. The sender file adapter is using content conversion to read a comma delimited file. The file is being picked up and archived correctly, and the adapter monitor does not show any errors. However, the process disappears at this point. I don't see any messages in SXMB_MONI, and there is no sign that the process is reaching the RFC adapter. Has anyone ever had this happen before?
I have four line types for Buildings, Additions, Floors, and Rooms.
I list all four in the recordset structure, and I identify a key for each with the keyFieldValue parameter. I list a fieldSeparator of ',' and an endSeparator of 'nl' for each row. And i have a list of the fieldnames in the fieldnames parameter.
The only thing i'm not sure about is the keyFieldinStructure parameter. I have specified ignore there, because I don't want that field in my XML. Do I still need that field in my sender datatype, even if I'm ignoring it, or can I leave it out?
Thanks for any help. Please don't just list blogs unless they have something you think is helpful with my specific problem. I have already read all of the blogs that deal generally with the sender file adapter and file content conversion, and I need more specific help at this point.

I made one error before, it IS showing up in the Recovered Adapter Audit Log (it took that log about 10 minutes to open that particular tab so I didn't notice them there).
Here is what it says there:

Excel File read using WebUtil does not work. Gives java.lang.NoSuchMethodEr

We have a form which reads from an Excel File. The form works in development env., but in the live env when we deployed the form it does not work. Form fails @ the 1st call to Client_OLE2 where we set the Excel file to read.
For both the envs. the values are given here:

(2.) Application Server Version : 10.1.2.0.2

(5.) Client Web Browser & Version: I.E 8.0.6001 or Mozilla 3.0.15
(6.) WebUtil Version: 1.0.6Both envs. are the same except the Linux version.
Works fine in Dev but does not work in Live. Other Webutil functions like file open dialog box works fine in live, only this Excel read is not working.

Channa,
I sounds like you might have missed a configuration step on your Linux application server (AS). I recommend you go back through the configuration of your AS and verify each step of the WebUtil Runtime Setup Checklist was completed correctly. Seach the Forms Help system on "Runtime Setup Checklist" for a copy of the checklist.
Hope this helps,

"Show all filename extensions" does not work!

I want to be able to see the file extensions of all my files. I go to Finder->Preferences->Advanced, and then I check the "Show all filename extensions" checkbox, yet it still does not work! I tried rebooting my computer and double checking if that checkbox is still checked, and it is, and it still does not work!
Any help?

Nevermind. I figured it out.

File sharing with MBP does not work

The problem is that I cannot connect to my first-gen MacBook Pro from my 2 Ghz Intel iMac in my own home network. I have tried opening all ports in the sharing menu without success. The laptop shows up in the finder window but no connection is made. There is not even an error message. It simply says (after a long while) that the connection failed. Nothing even happens when I try to click on the "connect as" button. This is true for file sharing and screen sharing. I can connect to the iMac from the laptop, ironically enough. I was able to connect both ways at one point. My set-up is as follows: airport express connected to modem/router; iMac and laptop connected wirelessly to airport express. Any ideas would be great. I am at a complete loss as the laptop has no other connection issues of any kind.
Update: I just got an error message for the first time: The server may not exist or it is not operational at this time. Check the server name or IP address and your network connection and try again.

Connecting via "connect to server" in finder menu using afp does not work either. FYI. It just tries connecting for a long while and then gives me the following error (-36). The finder cannot complete the operation because some data in "afp://....." could not be read or written.

After the upgrade to Mozilla 32 using csv files to import data does not work anymore. What should I do?

Hello,
After the latest upgrade to Mozilla 32 a previously recorded imacros scirpt in which the data was being imported into mozilla from a csv file keeps erroring out. This same problem occurred with the with the upgrade to Mozilla 30 and was fixed when Mozilla was upgraded to 31. Can you please advise on how to correct the problem so that csv files can be used in conjunction with imacros scripts. I would like to point out that imacros still works without the use of csv files, but when you introduce a csv to the script the imacros does not work.
Thank you,
Eugene

hello eugene, please directly contact the imacros extension developers through the means provided at their [http://forum.iopus.com/viewforum.php?f=11 forum] - they can likely give you more detailed guidance and are the only ones who can fix bugs or make necessary adjustments in the addon for new firefox versions. thank you...

Archive Source Files with Errors, Option Does not work

Any one tried "Archive Source Files with Errors" on the
sender adapter. It shows no effect.
1.We are on SP19.
2.Adapter type : FTP adapter.
Steps for the Reconstruction
1. Configure a sender FTP adapter.
2. choose the option "Archive Faulty source files"
3. Specify a directory for "Directory for archiving Files with Erroors"
4. Send a file which can cause File Content conversion errors.
Regards,
Raj

Hi,
FYI
I am in PI 7.0 SP 10. It works fine for me. Whenever you have any content conversion problem or module problem, it has created the same input file in specified directory.
In your case are u getting content conversion error in the Communication Channel ..just cross check it. If not try to get error over there and then test this feature

Sender File CC Atomatic control is not working

Hi There,
I got file to file scenario in my production system, my poll interval for sender communication channel is one minute (60 seconds).
but some times i must manually stop and start the channel, the automatic control is not working.
can anyone please help me what was the wrong.
Kind Regards,
Praveen.

Hi Praveen,
I am not sure what you are trying to achieve by using Automatic Control. This is mainly necessary when you want to use Scheduling functionality of the adapter. Other than that there is no major difference between Automatic Control or manual. Now if you are not able to use the scheduling of the file adapter properly, i.e. if the channel keeps on polling continuously, then you might want to re-create the channel in the production. i.e. create a new channel (you can copy the object) and delete the existing one. then refer this new one in the agreement. This should help.
Cheers,
Sarath.

File Adapter: Target directory does not exist

Hi All,
Using RFC to File Scenario.
While processing in File adapter, i get following error for the target directory.
Delivering the message to the application using connection File_http://sap.com/xi/XI/System failed, due to: com.sap.engine.interfaces.messaging.api.exception.MessagingException: Target directory '
*********************\Out' does not exist and cannot be created.
Although I am able to use the same target directory on my local machine.

I think FTP user didnt have suffiecinet otherrization to create directory in FTP, check once again Directory format entered is correct.
if you have phycial access to FTP then create one folder and enter the same in File channel and push one message and let us know the result.

Raj

Ora:contains() does not work

Hi All,
Can not see why the following query yelds no result:
SQL> select e.extract('/experimentDocument/data/rawData/fileDscr/notes/HTML/
2 BODY/P/text()') from EXPDOC e where
3 existsNode(value(e),'/experimentDocument/data/rawData/fileDscr/notes/HTML/
4 BODY/P[ora:contains(.,"note")]','xmlns:ora="http://xmlns.oracle.com/xdb"')
5 =1;
no rows selected
The similar query works:
SQL> select e.extract('/experimentDocument/data/rawData/fileDscr/notes/HTML/
2 BODY/P/text()') from EXPDOC e where
3 existsNode(value(e),'/experimentDocument/data/rawData/fileDscr/notes/HTML/
4 BODY/P[contains(.,"note")]','xmlns:ora="http://xmlns.oracle.com/xdb"')
5 =1;
E.EXTRACT('/EXPERIMENTDOCUMENT/DATA/RAWDATA/FILEDSCR/NOTES/HTML/BODY/P/TEXT()')
There is "note" space available for each file description.
May be it's a privilege problem, because I can not see
DEFAULT_POLICY_ORACONTAINS policy. How to check whether this policy is accesseble?
Any help will be appreciated,
Boris

You use ora:contains with score.
Try 'ora:contains(text(),"note")>0' instead of
'ora:contains(.,"note")'.

Sending photo attachments to iphoto does not work

Whenever I get photos in an email, and I send them to iphoto via the slideshow it never works. The photo gets "sucked" to iphoto, but when I open iPhoto it is never there. I am still save the images to my desktop and having to add them to my library. Any ideas?
By the way, I'm using iPhoto 5

donny,
A frequent issue lately, has been with leftover files from Panther, or earlier mailboxes. This problem is likely related to these leftover files:
If your mailboxes, or at least some of them, originated in Panther, I want you to read the article at the link below, and perhaps get back to me with some observations, before attempting any changes:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301315
This issue of leftover files applies not only to mailboxes you have previously created (which are in the Mailboxes folder the article mentioned) but can also apply to those mailboxes in account folders created prior to the upgrade to Tiger.
Also, please report the size of each file or folder. Do not, however, try to list the files that are within the folder named Messages, that is found in each and every mailbox. It is very important to compare the size of any file named "mbox" with that of the Messages folder. If the mbox is greater in size than the Messages folder, then not all messages have been converted to be in the Messages folder.
The path, as I am sure you know, to the Mail folder is Home/Library/Mail -- within the Mail folder are one or more account folders and the Mailboxes folder.
The files that become the most problematic, in my opinion, are any leftover index files, and might be related to this issue with iPhoto. Let me know what you find.
