Sender File Adapter Not Picking Any File

Dear Expert,
I am newbie in PI. Just tried to create File Content Conversion Scenario. Details as follow :
1. Source Directory ..\file\log\test_q.txt
2. Target Directory ..\file\log\xml\test_q.xml
Transport Protocol : NFS
Message Protocol : File Content Conversion
Adapter Engine : Integration Engine
I have completed all the design and configuration in IR and ID. However, when I produce the log file in the directory, nothing happen.
Hacing checked in the RWB as well, I could not find any clue. simply nothing happen.
Would you please advise me on how to trigger the interface? As per my understanding, sender file adapter will be activated directly once the file is created.
Thank you very much in advance.
Best Regards,
Y

Hi Yonisiwa,
Things you should check here are:
1) If the sender file adapter is active or not.
2) If the source directory is correctly spelt or not. (Check if you are using the correct slash \ or /)
3) The file name/mask is correct or not.
4) The polling interval is too long.
Alternatively, you can check the message monitoring in RWB at the adapter level and go into the audit log if the message.
There you can see the reason for the file not being picked up.
Also check the Communication Channel status in the Component Monitoring link in RWB.

Sender File adapter not picking the file ABCD.PRN extension file

Hi
Am doing File to Abap Proxy scenario. My source will be in text format of fixed length of fileds 7.
My souce file will be generated by a third party machine with the extension EEE150809.PRN. In my scenario my file adapter should pick the file and update the same in ECC via a Proxy.
I have configured the Sender File adapter with Message Protocol - Content Conversion but file adapter is not picking the file. I have checked the Communication channel and status is fine. But the same Communication Channel works for .XML file.
What are the parameters that I have to consider with the file extension .PRN using File adapter?
Thanks.
S.

Hi Swarna,
You dont need to worry about the extension when picking the file. You can try using EEE* so that is picks all the files starting with EEE. If you have the fixed name then you can try giving EEE150809.*. Also EEE150809.PRN should not have any issue. Try to see in sender commu ication cahnnel for anyerrors. Probably there might be some network issues or authorisation issues. If you are reading with NFS then ask them to give necessary permissions. If you are reading through FTP check the user id and pwd you are using.

File Adapter not picking the file

Hi Experts,
I am trying to create a Legacy-XI-R/3 scenario. I am using a file adapter as the sender communication channel and a ABAP proxy at the receiver end. I have given the path of my input file in the legacy system, but the file is not picked up by the adapter. Can any one tell me where I might have gone wrong?

Hi,
Just want to add one more suggestion.
Check the Host name, where the File is kept and try to use the directory path as
<HostName>\<DirName>.
Hope this help.

File Adapter Not picking the files

Hi All,
We have a process wherein the file adapter picks up the file from a particular location and it processed thereafter. We get the files once every month. We noticed that if the files that are being dazzled are of the same, i.e if the same nomenclature is there for the file that was dazzled the previous month, the adapter does not pick up the file. Only after renaming the file, it picks the file and processed them.
Any idea why the files that are dazzled with the same name are not being picked up.
Thanks in Advance...!!

Hi,
While configuring file adapter to pick up the files cross verify with file name putting in the directory location against the
"Includes files with name pattern" "Excludes file with name pattern" file name..
let say if u kept .*txt if picks the files txt with any name and one more think once after picking up the file from particular location are u enabling (delete file once read) option in configuration(It all depends on ur req)..
cross check the schema element of the file pattern.

Sender file adapter not polling the file

hi all,
i have configured a filexifile scenario....
but the file sender adapter is not polling the file at all....
i dont c any message either in RWB or in SXMB_MONI
i checked the adapter framework url at http://<ximachine>;<port>/AdapterFramework....and the status for the file adapter is green...
but the message it gives there is
Sender Adapter v1014 for Party '', Service 'TASL_FILE_SENDER':
Configured at 03:07:24 2006-02-02
Up and running - no message processing until now
last poll interval started 04:01:24 2006-02-02
length 60,000 secs
y is the sender adapter not polling the file..
i am using NFS as my File System....i gave the source directory as d:/test_dir/
is this way of specifying the source directory on a windows machine correct...
thanks
pavan

There is probably something wrong with the File Adapter. You will need to go to the RunTime Workbench >> Component Monitoring >> Display >> Click on the Adapter Engine >> More information will display and click on the button 'Adapter Monitoring' >> A new window will display and click on the arrow next to your adapter engine. This displays a list of adapters running on your system. Green light means good; Red, you have a configuration problem. Look at the error and try and resolve it.

File Adapetr: File is not picking from File directory

Hello,
Issue: we are facing issue with file sender adapter like file is not picking from source file directory.
Scenario: FTP1>PI>FTP2
1. SAP PI sender communication channel will pick the file from FTP1 and process to PI file server (NFS)
2. from PI file server (NFS), file will process again to FTP2
So while picking the file, it shows following error:
Could not process due to error: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Error during RETR epilogue: com.sap.aii.adapter.file.ftp.FTPEx: 451 Transfer aborted. Broken pipe
Conversion of file content to XML failed at position 0: sun.io.MalformedInputException
Processing started
this issue occur after we migrate the PI server from hpunix to aixunix.
Best Regards,SARAN

Hi,
check the FCC parameters, fieldfixedlength option would be used when the exact length of field is constant in the Sender, In the FCC the fieldfixedlength parameter carries the length of the each.
Check out Michal's blog on content conversion for all your doubts :The specified item was not found.
Kindly check the below links for further assistance.

Hi,
If you are using a Stand-alone J2SE Adapter Engine, you can create a SOAP adapter to pick a SOAP message from a file system and send it to the Integration Server. This is available with the XI3.0.
The configuration will look like this.
Bubble adapter java class
classname=com.sap.aii.messaging.adapter.ModuleBubble
This adapter instantiates a bubble bag for supporting
a soap file upload and sender. A bubble bag is a collection of Bubble
instances that form some processing chain of message objects.
Below parameter Bubble.Helper specifies the helper class that implements
the ModuleBubbleHelper interface. This class is used to instantiate
a bubble bag for this adapter.
Sets the bubble module helper that can instantiate your bubble bag
Bubble.Helper=com.sap.aii.messaging.adapter.ModuleBubbleHelperSOAPFileSenderImpl
#$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Below this line are the parameters specific to the ModuleBubbleHelperSOAPFileSenderImpl
#$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
This module loads files from the local file system, consruct SOAP messages
(or SOAP with Attachments messages), and send them to the specified Web Service target URL.
Upon successful completion, response messages are stored in the file system.
Files stored can represent a plain payload, a SOAP envelope, or a SOAP with Attachments.
Plain payload files and SOAP envelope files may be packaged in MIME using some MIME headers.
SOAP with Attachments files must be packaged in MIME.
Specifies the type of the file. The available values are:
plain for plain; soap for soap envelope; swa for soap with attachments
SFSender.ContentMode=soap
Specifies the packaging
true for MIME packaged file; false for bare content
SFSender.MIMEPackaged=true
log everything (4-digit binary, where the bits indicate which
information is logged: req message, req context, resp request, resp context)
SFSender.Log=1111
The target URL to which messages are sent.
SFSender.TargetURL=http://p28848:4040/mysoaphandler
The upload directory on the local file system
This directory has six sub directories with names 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. (they will be created)
The meaning of each sub directories are:
0 = inbox where you place messages to be sent
1 = trash box
2 = work box
3 = successfully completed (original) messages go in
4 = response messages come in (if any)
5 = undelivered (original) messages go in
6 = error messages come in (if any)
In these directories, the file names are used as key and there can be only one file with
the same name except in the trash box. So, when you place in the inbox a file with
the name identical to one of the files stored in another directory, it will not processed.
SFSender.Directory=/tmp/sfsender
The polling interval in milliseconds (default is 5000)
#SFSender.PollingInterval=5000
The retry delay after each failure in milliseconds (default is 5000)
#SFSender.RetryDelay=5000
The maximal retry count upon failures (default is 3)
After the maximal retry count is reached, the message is moved as undelivered.
#SFSender.RetryCount=3
The number of dispatchers to send requests (default is 3)
SFSender.DispatcherCount=1
END
Hope this helps.

Sender File Adapter not picking up the file

Hello Experts,
I have configured a sender file (FTP) adapter. All the configurations are right. The name of the file is given exactly as it is. The processing mode is Delete.
The scenario was running fine till today. I only made changes to the path from which it has to pick the file. I have checked the path numerously and it is correct.
But the file is not being picked up.
Monitoring the communication channel shows no errors. It has the green indicator. No idea what is happening.
Please Help,
Regards,
Merrilly

Hi
try to make some changes anf then again save and cativte the adapter. may be the adapter is not being activated.
also check whether the cache is refreshed or not.
or u can also check in the communication channel monitoring the channel is start or stop. if stop then start the channel and then try again.
if u still face the problem please reply me back.
Thanks

Production issue - Sender File adapter not picking up the files from folder

Hi Guys,
Ever since the upgrade from XI 3.0 to PI 7.1, we have come acrossinstances of weird error.
Thsi time again - now the 3rd time - tandom basis, in our production PI server, we have teh file slying in the source directory folder in the server.
I can see the files lying there in AL11.
However, it looks like that the file polling has just stopped and the channel is going blank in channel monitoring.
I have checked in SXMB_MONI and there are no messages since the morning.
I have tried craeting a replica of the current channel but it is not working.
This is teh production server and thsi has alraedy created production issues.
I ahve checked in the SDN forum but am not able to find the details.
Plaese help me.
I am anyway going to raise the issue with SAP now.
Regards,
Archana

Hi Prateek,
I have trying all sorts since the morning and then just checked teh file permissions.
The file permissions were incorrect as compared ot the other files that were processed successfully today.
Somehow the permissions were changed on the server and the interface channel was not able to poll the files.
I got teh permissions changed back to 666 and all the files were pikced up in a minute.
I got the folder checked and it seems like that the permissions were changed somewhere very early in the morning and we are trying to find out how it happened and who did that.
However, another question i had - this sender file adapter was polling the source directory and deleting the files from there.
I would have expected that if the channel had issues with the file permission because of which it was not able to access the file, it would have thrown an error something like the file permissions error.
But there was not a single error in the channel monitoring.
How can we configure it in a beter way so that we at least soem kind of error indication?
Please advice.
Regards,
Archana

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 .

FTP adapter --- Not picking up files

Hi,
I have set up an FTP adapter in archive mode to read files from FTP server and process it while archiving a copy of it. I have set up Poll interval at 40 secs and retry interval also set up. It works great the first time . Processes the file and archives it. But when the same files comes in again in the FTP server, I see the foll. message in the adapter monitor "Error: Stopped due to error: com.sap.aii.adapter.file.ftp.FTPEx: inputdat.txt: No such file or directory: No such file or directory."..The file exists in the FTP server but its not processed..I am not sure what I am missing...

Hi Michal,
I have timestamp set up for archive directory..So every run will create an archive file with timestamp..But the input filename remains the same..Archive functionality would remove the file inthe FTP server..So when the file comes again into the FTP server, the FTP adapter doesn't trigger automatically. Everytime I had to activate the IB for FTP adapter to trigger the process. I know this is not how XI-FTP adapter should work..Our scenario is we would receive weekly files into the FTP adpater with the same name. We need to archive each weekly file and also send it for further processing..I can't be activating the process manually ....I know something is going wrong but can't figure it out...:(..Any help is appreciated...:)

SAP MDM Adapter not picking up files in Ready folder on MDM

Hello Experts,
We are sending master data from MDM 7.1 system via PI 7.1 system to SAP ECC system. The Sydnication from MDM system is automatic and the files are being syndicated successfully from MDM system and getting dumped in the Ready folder of the port.
But the Sender MDM PI adapter is not picking up the files from the folder.
The communication channel status in Communication channel monitoring is green and 'data control' is Automatically.
However the file is getting picked up if we stop and then start the channel but not automatically.
Please Help!
Thanks,
Suraj

Check if there are locks for the file channel in NWA. If yes, unlock that and your issue should be resolved.
Login to NWA --> Operation Management --> Systems --> Start & Stop --> JAVA EE Services --> check for File Connector, Locking Adapter and XPI Adapter: File.

NFS Adapter not picking up file

Hi Guru's,
Scenario is File(NFS) to File(FTP) without using repository part.
The NFS directory name has been maintained correctly. File name is also correct. Channel is active. Checked in RWB also.
All configuration settings are fine. But NFS adapter is not picking up the file and also not showing any error.
Tried following thing but not working
1) Manually deactivating and activating channel in Directory.
2) Stop start channel in Communication channel monitoring.
3) Put exact file name in Communication channel.
4) Testing mode changed from Delete to Test and again test to delete.
5) File type binary to text.

Hello,
Verify the below mentioned points:
a. Is the file adapter locked? ....Visual Admin (till PI7.0) or NWA(for PI7.1 and above) . Entry comes as $XIAdapter*
b. Check permission / authorization to read/ delete the file?
c. Adapter Services are active

Hi,
Whether the Driver file has been mentioned in Provider XML file and check the messages are in the right sender Queue.
Check the Port and Protocol are right one.

FTP-adapter not picking all files

Hi,
We have scenario, where FTP should pick a file and post it as a idoc to SAP. Now it happens that FTP pick's some files and leaves some out.
The parameters are:
File name = *
Connection mode = Per file transfer
Quality of service = Exactly once
Poll interval (secs) = 3000
If I look at the adapter monitoring the last polling interval was done yesterday morning. How's that possible if interval is 3000 seconds?

Hi Tapio,
We also faced the same problem but it was with NFS protocol. Can you pls check with the help of your System Administrator, after putting some more new files into the relevant folder and see what all are the privileges that is coming to each file and also the user group its saying for the files, especially the ones which are not picked.
There is a chance that the one which is not picked can be of a different user group and your FTP user is belonging to different user group.
We are in XI 3.0 SP15..
Pls check the same.
Cheers
JK
