Sender file adapter to pick up both .pdf and .PDF

Hi Experts,
I want to configure my sender file communication channel in a way that it picks up both *.pdf as well as *.PDF. I do not want to use .. I tried with *. [Pp][Dd][Ff] but did not work.
Any inputs?
Thanks and regards,
Prasad

You have to choose Advance selection for source not an Additional fiels. Try..
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_sm40/helpdata/en/e3/94007075cae04f930cc4c034e411e1/content.htm
Advanced Selection for Source File
If you want to set an exclusion mask for the File Name specified above, or if you want to specify multiple directories using a file name mask and exclusion mask, set the Advanced Selection for Source File indicator.

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.

Archana

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.

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 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 .

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

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 : File Name Determination

Hi All,
My Scenario :
1) Im my scenario i need only the "FileName" of the File when picked up by the Sender File Adapter.
2) Rest Content of the File need not be in the XML file format.
Now what i did was developed "File Adapter Module " to get the "FileName" when picked up by the Sender File Adapter.
Outcome : When i put the developed module at first and put the file in specified folder allowint the Sender file Adapter to pick up. Now Everything is fine working when one kind of File is placed as per my Content Coversion paramaters.
Actual : My Client would place file of any kind (.jpeg -> Mostly , gif ) i need to get only the file name in the Outbound interface , which i would split it further to my Target Interface.
How could i achieve this , when i took away this content conversion , in sxmb_moni it shows error.I need only the filename in the Outbound not the Content , moreover the hit is i donot know what could be content of my file as it could be different and varing , so i could not set particular content conversion paramters:
Second Question:
Now my outbound XML interface looks as below when i test with a file , with proper content conversion paramerters:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
- <MT_DMS_FINAL>
- <Record>
- <Row>
<FirstName>2323_eer_rtr</FirstName>
</Row>
</Record>
<FileName>d:\mdmtest\srinivaS\padusrini.txt</FileName>
</MT_DMS_FINAL>
Well i have designed in my MI only FirstName , how to capture this element "FileName" which i can use it in mapping , if i have to write any UDF to capture it ,please guide me.
thx in advance for u r help
with regards
Srini

Hi Guys ,
Can i use File Content Conversion for .pdf document , my pdf doc content is not known, means it"s a complete info doc.I may get .jpeg any picture or drawing.
I thought i can use below file content conversion paramters:
Document Name : MT_DMS_FINAL
RecordSet Name : Record
RecordSet Structure : Row,*
Row.fieldNames - FirstName
Row.fieldSeparator - ;
Row.processFieldNames - fromConfiguration
Row.additionalLastFields - ignore
Row.missingLastfields - ignore
Now i put a pdf doc of unknown content , and my assumption was some set of charater would be dumped in XML and rest would be ingonered which is least bothered part in my scenario , unless i get the filename from runtime ot Adapter module developed
But in RWB CC monitoring i see below error :Error: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: Illegal XML character: .
Any views on this , can any one help me out with the above requirment. Hope u guys got wat am trying to put out here
thx in advance for u r help
with regards

Advance select for source file in Sender File Adapter

Hi
I am trying to utilise the parameter 'Advance Selection for source file' on a sender file adapter to pick the file from multiple folders
My problem is that this parameter that is listed on the SAP help is not getting in File accessing Parameters.
I am running PI 7.02 (NW702_07_Rel)
Service pack 07
Has anyone come across this before?
any suggestions on how to do this?

Hi,
In PI7.0 the property exists. I have used it previously. I think SP was 13.

Recordset per message in Sender File Adapter

Hi Friends
I have configured a sender file adapter to pick up *.txt files from a specific path, Since the file is having thousands of records it is failing to process the file at PI level . In order to avoid the problem I have kept Recordset Set Per Message as 10 , but still PI is processing all the records into a single message. Please help me in troubleshooting it.

Sender File Adapter Problem when text document is a single line.

Hi All,
I have posted this question earlier too. But did not get a proper answer.
I am using File adapter to fetch data from a file system.
My input data is: AA123BB45678AA345BB78564.
It is just reading the first segment i.e.AA123 and not reading the remaining.
How can I configure my Sender File adapter to pick this pattern of data? It works fine if I have line break after each record that is if the input is as below.
AA123
BB45678
AA345
BB78564
In the above there is a Line break after each segment. So File adapter picks it fine.
I have also tried using xml.A.endSeparator equals to blank in the module configuration. But it does not work either.
Can anyone throw some light to this?

Abhi
I tried a different approach to send your file data In..
You can get each line in the source structure in separate row as
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
- <ns:SingleRowDT xmlns:ns="http://xxxxx.com/xi/pocs/sriram">
- <Recordset>
- <row>
<rowElt>AA123BB45678AA345BB78564</rowElt>
</row>
- <row>
<rowElt>AA123BB45678AA345BB78564AA123BB45678AA345BB78564</rowElt>
</row>
- <row>
<rowElt>AA123BB45678AA345BB78564AA123BB45678AA345BB78564AA123BB45678AA345BB78564</rowElt>
</row>
</Recordset>
Now you can use a suitable mapping logic to split the individual records into the 2 field structure as expected in the target..
Trying your way would be a limitation on file adapter I think..Let me know if this helps..I can give you the content conversion config for this model..
its simply
RecordSet - Leave it empty
RecordSet Seq - Row, *
Recordsets/msg - *
row.fieldSeparator - 'nl'
row.endSeparator - 'nl'
row.fieldNames - 'rowElt
..So each line will be pulled into a single Row in the source structure and then u can apply a specific mapping to split into 2 fields for your target

Read uniquely named file. Sender File Adapter unsuitable for synchronous

Hi All,
We have a requirement to read a specific file that has a unique name based on a transaction ID. The transaction ID will be passed from the source application.
The communication is required to be synchronous. There could be multiple requests/files generated and present at the directory at any given time but each corresponding to a specific transaction ID. If the file is not yet generated for that transaction ID we return back an error to the calling system.
I think we can not use Sender File Adapter - because of the dynamic naming and also because we have to return a synchronous response back depending on the file availability. i.e. We can not have a defined pattern in the file name nor can we specify a wild card as there could be more than one files in the location.
In theory we could use the File Sender adapter to read all the files in the directory and a BPM with correlation set based on the transaction ID and let the process wait for the request. But as far as possible I want to avoid this unnecessary wait or extra demand on the system. More so because the files could get big.
If I were using a tool like SAP Business Connector or webMethods then I would I used a readFile Java service and given it a filename to return the required bytes in a synchronous read.
Is something like this possible in XI? If someone has written a synchronous Java to read file can they share the code? Or do you suggest I write a ABAP server proxy to read the file? The problem however will be how do we map the data to a XML within the code.
All suggestions welcome. There has to be a simple and effective solution to this mundane requirement !
Wishing all SDNers a bright start to this new year,
Thanks,
Charu

"The transaction ID will be passed from the source application so we know what file to pick"

Hi,
You could make the scenario a little simple and avoid custom development if the logic can be put into scripts(out of XI).
Say all the files are coming into a directory called D1.
Here, you could use a script to arrange all these in an order (say ascending) and move the first file into another directory D2.
The sender file adapter would poll this directory D2. The adapter can have a wild card character for the filename field now.
Once the file is in XI, you could check this against the transactionId present(I am not sure how you get this though!), and determine whether to send a mail, or to send a file back.
Here, I have assumed that there is somekind of order present in the files placed in the directory D1.
Again, this is just a suggestion.. I might be wrong with all the assumptions.

Sender file adapter is not picking the file from windows server

Hi Experts,
We have a sender file adapter running on Unix server. Now we have changed the source directory path from Unix to Windows in file access parameters. It is not picking the files from windows directory and not showing any error.
In this scenario, input file for sender adapter is *.xml and no content conversion.
Could any one please let me know is there anything needs to changed in file adapter.
Thanks in advance,
Sridhar. M

Sridhar,
What do you have in the directory path?
If it is a shared drive in unix then the directory in windows should also be a shared drive from XI system. Else if it is FTP check the address.

Sender File Adapter: Picking of Files

Hi,
I have a requirement where in my file adapter has to pick files from a FTP server after 10 minutes of its creaion on the FTP server. Some application will place file on this FTP server exactly after 10 minutes of its creation on this FTP server only it should be picked by the sender File Adapter. Is there any way to achieve this? Please provide me your thoughts on resolving this.
Thanks,
Vijay Kumar T.

as mentioned by suraj, the ideal way is to have a spearate folder where the files will be moved after the 10 minutes of its creation.
PI/XI will poll this folder and pick files.
out of curiosity, can i know why there is such a requirement of 10 min?
