Sender File adapter to process each file with time gap

Hi All,
I have a sender file adapter which is picking 2 files in a folder. I want to delay the processing of each file by 5 minutes. For ex: PI should process the first file, then wait 5 minutes and the process the next etc. Is this achievable ?
Is there a way to create 2 sender agreements if I create 2 separate comm channels for each file .
I am using PI 7.0

Hi Sarvesh...
U r correct ... but i am nt wrong.... Just joking...
S u r correct in normal cases..
But this interface also involves BPM too.....
Dev didnt mention the whole prblm in clear....
The prblm is as following..
When he runs the CC at sender , if u have multiple files, then every file will initiate a BPM instance.
And in turn every BPM instance is waiting fr a message from PROXY....
The proxy messages coming from the ECC are not able to go fr exact BPM instance..
Eg: 2 Proxy message gng fr 1 BPM instance...etc..
FYI , no correlation on the messages....

Sender File Adapter stop processing all files

Hello all,
the file adapter pick up all files in the directory by default.
if a large number of files are in the directory then this could slow down the pi processing.
is there any way to process only one file per polling??

I do not have any proble if you have got the answer. BUT this blog says how to exclude the other files from the same folder.
Your Case: For example, Your Sender CC wants to pick up file ABC.txt from /xyz dir, now suppose there are 10 thousand files of same name in the dir and you want ABC.txt should be picked up one by one, So how this blog is going to help you. Can you Plz explain to me and others too?
@Sachin may be you can throw some light on this... may be I am missing something.

File Adapter Not Processing Large File

Hi Everyone,
We are experiencing a problem in an interface that includes file adapter. The scenario is as follows:
1. A .csv file containing multiple records needs to be processed; for each line of the .csv file, an XML file should be genrated. <b>We are using the 'Recordsets Per Message' field in the Content Conversion Parameters to achieve this.</b> After the source .csv file is processed, it is deleted.
We were testing with small 15-30 records in each input file. For the purpose of testing scalability, we increased the number of records in a file to nearly 300. But the file adapter did not pick up the file.Comm.Channel in RWB is showing green, MDT contains no entries and SXMB_MONI also shows no messages. What can be the problem? Is there any limit on the size of file that can be converted in this way?
Awaiting your replies,
Regards,
Amitabha

Amitabha,
300 records should not be a problem at all. If you are not getting any error msg in CC monitoring, then it is time you take a look into VA logs.

HA File Adapter still processing same file twice

We are using the eis/HAFileAdapterMSSQL to watch for ZIP files that get dropped into a directory. We are running SOA Suite 11.1.1.6 on WebLogic 10.3 with a 2-server cluster. We set our PollingFrequency to 120 seconds.
When our ZIP files are small enough to where our BPEL process (which does some unzipping and merging of files therein) completes within those 120 seconds, everything is fine. One, and only one, node in our cluster processes the file.
But when the ZIP files are large, and our BPEL process takes 30 minutes to complete (i.e. longer than the 120 second polling frequency), we see a new instance of the BPEL process on soa_server1 start as expected, then second process instance start on our soa_server2 instance 120 seconds later.
It's almost as if, if the entire BPEL process - which is kicked off by the HAFileAdapterMSSQL - does not complete within our polling frequency, then the file is not being blocked from other servers in our cluster picking it up and start processing it. Is there a way to "lock" the file with the first instance of the HAFileAdapterMSSQL that picks it up until it's completely finished with it?
Has anyone encountered this?
Thanks,
Michael

You need to define the below property in composite.xml file of your bpel. This will allow only one adapter active and another passive to pick up the file.
<activationAgents>
<activationAgent className="oracle.tip.adapter.fw.agent.jca.JCAActivationAgent" partnerLink="PickupFile/FTPConsumer">
*<property name="clusterGroupId">BPELProcessNameCluster</property>*
<property name="portType">FTP/FileConsumer_Message_ptt</property>
</activationAgent>
</activationAgents>

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 picking the same file twice

We are facing a weird issue with File Sender Adapter
We are using PI File Adapter ( NFS ) to read files for a NFS folder and
processing those in PI.Normally it works fine. But for a scenario we
are noticing it sometimes process the same file twice before archiving,
thus duplicating the financial postings.
What we have is :
File Sender Adapter - NFS, Polling interval 60 secs, and Processign
mdoe Archive. File name includes Wildcards - JE_Upload*.txt
what we are noticing is that :
when it picks up a file, it immediately polls again to check for
another file, and sometimes the file is not yet archived so it picks up
and reprocess the same file.
If you see the message below, both belong to the same file, and it
picked up the same file again in 12 secs after processing it the first
time
Successful 02.11.2009 15:01:00 02.11.2009 15:01:01 APMANUAL urn:bl:i2g:003:100

Anyone seen this behavior before?

Hi,
Please check the script which creates file in source NFS Folders. There is possibility that script is making change in file when PI is picking up the file.
When PI picks the file first time it creates one message ID in system. After that if script is making any change in file without file name change (This need not necessary data change), for PI it becomes new file and new message gets generated in PI for same file.
This error normally comes when File adapter is not able to archive file succesfully. For eg. file with same name alredy exists in Archive folder.
File adapter generates the new message id whenfile get modified(eg.change in its length or data change) even though
the file name is same and when file get change ,XI file adapter thinks that its new file and hence generate the new message id for same file.
If file has same name and notmodified then XI adapter will not generate new message id and will keep on throw the error till you remove that file with same name from the
archieve directory.

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 to read Zip file and send it as input to another webservice

Hi,
I have the below requirement:
1. A service will generate 3 attachments and place it in a particular directory.
2. SOA service has to pick those 3 files and send those files as input to another custom application which will email.
Design :
1. First SOA will create an archive file of those 3 attachements and then file adapter will poll for that zip file in that location and send that file as a whole to the custom application.
Query:
Now my question, is the above design feasible? If so, how to configure the file adapter to pass the file as input to that custom application?
Kindly do the needful
Thanks,
Priya

You can accomplish this via java embedding activity...Create a java embedding, which will create a zip file.. this java code is easy to implement..
You can also do away with un-necessary polling file adapter.. and you can use "Synchronous File Read" operation of File Adapter.. For Sync Read, you'll have to pass the zip file name, which you can easily fetch from java embedding activity..
Let me know, if this doesn't work.

JCBC Adapter and File adapter not processing messages

Hi
I noticed that messages are being delivered to Adapter engine and the same are visible in Runtime Workbench with status "to be delivered". But, JDBC Adapter and File Adapter not processing these messages.
Any idea where I can find the problem?
I was able to re-deliver successfully via the JDBC Adapter using the MessagingSystem GUI using XISUPER user.
Regards
Chandu

Hi,
1.Status: TO_BE_DELIVERED
Which means that the message was successfully delivered from Integration Server point of view and it states that the messages is initially handed over to the Messaging System.
TO_BE_DELIVERED occurs while the message is put into the Messaging System receive queue.

File adapter picking up partial files

Hi All,
We are facing a wierd problem with the File Adapter.
The problem is that, we are getting the xml files from the source system, and PI is supposed to pick them up and process them. Sometimes, the file adapter is picking up the empty files / partial files, i.e., before the file is completely written on to the FTP folder.
We tried increasing the polling interval. But this did not help. Since we are taking the files from the FTP, the option "MSecs" in Additional Parameters also will not work. As we are on PI 7.0 SP13, we tried to search for the "Empty File Handling" option wherein we can make the file adapter skip the 0kb files. But we are not able to find that option anywhere.
Please help us find a solution to this problem.
Thanks,
Hari.

Hari,
In sender communication channel click on Advanced. Then you see the paramter Msecs to Wait Before Modification Check. Add a value 3000. Then you should be good.

File Adapter polls all the files from the directory when deployed again

Hi,
File Adapter polls all the files from the inbound directory irrespective of the timestamp when deployed again.
For ex. when the BPEL process with file adapter is deployed, it starts polling the directory based on the timestamp as and when the directory is written with the files. I did not opt for deleting the files after read by the File Adapter.
But, when BPEL process is modified and deployed again, this time, the file adapter picks up all the files in the inbound directory and doesn't consider the timestamp.
My guess is that it should not pick all the files but based on timestamp only.
I guess I can observe the same behavior if I bounce the Application Server also
Do I have an option to achieve this?
Thanks,
Sasi Bhushan.

try this:
1- create a File object for the directory. (look at isDirectory() )
2- create a File[] that represents the files in that directory. (.listFiles())
3- if (file[x].isDirectory()) {recursive method call;}
4- else {
process file;
If you want more help--do some work on it, and come back with specific questions relating to specific lines in your code and specific error messages you've been receiving.

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.

File adapter reading while the file is still being written....

Hello BPEL Gurus,
I had a quick question around BPEL or ESB file adapter. Does BPEL file adapter starts reading a huge file that is being written or it waits until the writing process is completed and file is complete?
Any response is highly is appreciated.
Thanks.
SM

It goes like this. At every polling frequency, the adapter looks into the directory for the files with specified pattern (e.g. *.csv, MYCOMPANY*.txt) and specified condition, e.g. minimum file age. This means if there will be 2 files available with matching criteria, the both will be picked up and processed simultaneously in two different BPEL instances. No specific order of execution. However you will find the instances in BPEL console with little delay based on file size.
Perhaps you can elaborate your scenario further. Do we have knowledge of the file name that are to be picked up from the folder. You may use synchronous read option. If you are using 10.1.3.4 version then you can specify the file name before file adapter makes a synchronous read into the give directory.

NFS File adapter donu00B4t generate log file.

Hello!
We have a problem with a File adapter. when adapter catch file, this one don´t archive this file into archive directory.
We have:
Processing mode: Archive.
Archive directory : /XIcom/INT181_GECAT/LOG
This directory is created correctly.
Someone can i help me. Thanks.
Best regards.

Hi ,
>>>NFS File adapter don´t generate log file
Do you mean you are not getting the processed files archived only when the file adapter set to NFS File system ?
Did you try same thing by setting File adapter as FTP ?
If you face same issue with File adpter set in FTP mode also then there is some issue with access to the folders.
Please check this ...

Nanda
