Sender FTP Adapter, text mode should convert source file?

Hi !
We have a Unix file system where systems and people drop files to be captured by XI. XI runs also on another Unix system.
We configured the Sender FTP comm channel from XI to use the TEXT mode, to have converted the captured file to Unix TEXT (eol = 0x0A), no matter the format of the file used to transfer the source file to the XI polling folder.
But we noticed that TEXT or BINARY modes in sender FTP adapter works all the same, like binary.
What are we doing wrong?
Thanks,
Matias

No. to see the difference put a gif and give txt in file adapter you will get an error for the same file u use binary it works.
their is difference b/w these . if you use special characters like european then you need to use UTF-8 or UTF-16 or bigInidan if it is binary then you output will junk charaters for these sysmobls

Error with Archiving Faulty Source File in Sender FTP adapter

Hi All,
I have configured a Sender FTP adapter with Processing Mode as Archive.
I am able to read the files from FTP server and archive all the successfuly processed file in the PI aplication server directory XXX/success.
We need all the error files also to be archived on PI application server in directory XXXXX/Fail so I have checked the option Archive faulty Source Files and provided the application directory XXXXX/Fail .
I have unchecked the option Archive Files on FTP server.
But the problem is when FTP adapter is getting any error files it is not able to archive it to application directory XXXXX/Fail .
In RWB it is showing the error
Unable to archive faulty input file /data/abc.txt to /XXXX/fail/abc.txt
Cause: com.sap.aii.adapter.file.ftp.FTPEx: 550 rename: No such file or directory
This directory is existing and works fine when I give this directory name in Archive directory of processing mode.
Sender FTP adapter is trying to archive the file in FTP server which I dont want and giving us this error.
If I give any Directory which is present in FTP server my error files are getting archived on FTP server but not in the archived folder.
I have already unchecked the option Archive Files on FTP server.
Please help......
I am on PI 7.11

No Source Directory on Sender FTP Adapter

Hi Guys,
I am using a sender adapter to poll an external FTP Server. The adapter is able to see the server fine.
My problem lies in this:
The company in charge of the FTP server has put a restriction disallowing the 'cd' command on the ftp server. Now in the sender ftp adapter, the source directory is a mandatory field and therefore if nothing else, I need to put a '.' into the source directory.
This in effect will do a cd . when it logins into the ftp server. It is here that I get an error because command cd is disallowed.
Does anyone know how I can prevent the sender ftp adapter from automatically doing a cd command i.e. have no source directory?
Thanks,
Miguel

Hi,
I think it is not possible with file adapter .
Have a look into this SAP note -821267 Question no 27,34.
It may give some inputs

Strange Problem in File Archiving - Sender FTP Adapter

Hi,
The scenario is file to IDOc. XI has to read the input file from client FTP server and archive it to XI local file server.
File is archived properly without FCC (for xml files). But with FCC, the sender FTP adapter is archiving empty files (0 kb files) not the original file with data.
I've checked SXMB_MONI, even there I can see the file data and the IDoc is getting posted with proper data. But, the archived file is empty. Not sure about the problem.
Please suggest. Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Joe.

Hi,
I've already tried archiving the file to the FTP server itself, it's working fine (even with FCC). But, when I try to archive it to the XI server (read from FTP and archive at XI server), it's writing empty file to the XI archive directory. I'm using PI 7.0 SP 14. My sender FTP adapter dtls follow
Data Connection: Passive
Timeout Secs: 500
Connect Mode: Permanently
Transfer Mode: text and binary tried both
File type: text and binary tried both..
Looking out for a solution.
Thanks,
Joe.

Sender FTP Adapter not working with certain name

Hello,
We're facing the next problem within XI.
We configured a sender FTP adapter within the central adapter engine. This adapter is configured correctly however for some reason it is not picking up any file from the FTP server.
Changing status to inactive-> active again all kinds of modes and configs we tested.
However when copying this non-working adapter to a new one with a different name (Configuration is exactly the same!!!!!) and use this one in the sender agreement it worked immediately.
Somebody else faced similar problems and managed to solve it because for this error we don't want to adjust our naming conventions....
Thanks,
Emile

Hi Emile,
This could happen when AE cache is not getting updated.
Goto SXI_CACHE.
Click "Goto" -> AE Cache and check if you get a green symbol with a message saying " Cache contents are up-to-date".

Sender FTP Adapter (file transfer w/o mapping)

Hello everyone!
Is there a way to configure a Sender FTP Adapter such that it simply picks up a file in an FTP folder then moves it to another FTP folder without changing any data (no mapping needed)?
I tried doing it, but the Sender Agreement requires you specifiy an Outbound interface (which is not needed in this case). Would anyone of you know a workaround to this?
Warm regards,
Glenn

Hi
Use dummy interface name. But that should be same in ID objects

BPEL FTP Adapter Active Mode

Does BPEL FTP Adapter supports active ftp mode (instead of passive). Apparently the ftp site for one of the Interfaces uses FTP Adapter and that ftp server it is using supports ONLY active ftp sessions, NOT passive.
Want are configuration to made to changed to support active mode
oc4j-ra.xml for ACTIVE ftp and not passive

Thanks Everybody for the prompt response .
1) What error does one get when trying to connect to FTP Sever which only support active mode
No Error , but no file transfer happens. SR and Bug Request for the same is already in place .
QUESTION
========
Does BPEL FTP Adapter supports active ftp mode (instead of passive).
ANSWER
======
No, FTP Adapter only supports passive mode. For that purpose there is an Enhancement Request
already, the Bug 6866124 - NEED SUPPORT FOR PASSIVE FTP ADAPTER AND CUSTOM FTP
COMMANDS :
1. The FTP Server needs to be active for the Adapter to work. So, both FTP Server and the FTP adapter must be active for it to work.
Also you only support PASSIVE mode in our FTP JCA adapter. ACTIVE mode is currently
considered bad practice and a security vulnerability.
But, we would require both ACTIVE and PASSIVE modes.
2. Custom commands are not supported. But, we need the samples for custom FTP Commands and support for it.
for example: quote site fixrecfm 90...

My iphone 4 wont send pictures in texts, what should I do?

I cant send pictures as texts at all. i've never had this problem. idk what i should do. should i go to apple?

Hey Brendan!
iPhones do not by default always have picture messaging enabled, as not all wireless carrier plans include picture messages (also called MMS).
Make sure that in Settings > Messages that MMS Messaging is on. At that point, pictures should start sending just fine!
If that does not work, contact your carrier, as at that point it would be possible that you are not 'provisioned' (signed up for) picture messaging (MMS), at which point your carrier will need to either sign you up for it (messaging rates apply) or to reprovision you for it, basically turn picture messaging off on your account, and turn it back on, sometimes fixing issues like this.
If this does not work, call Applecare!

Tab limited input in Sender FTP adapter

Hi ,
We are working on a scenario where by the file format in the incoming FTP adapter is tabdelimited...All fields are seperated by '#'...Will XI be able to split the fields based on '#' and do the content conversion ??? What would be the parameter to be set to enable tab delimition?
Thanks
Teresa

Hi,
I had been researching on this ..And will a NameA.fieldSeparator = '#' help me in reading a tabdelimited file, '#' being the delimiter?
Any help is appreciated...

FTP adapter: exc. 550 : No such file or directory

Hi Men,
I'm working on 7.0 version.
I am facing a problem with FTP adapter.
In few words, I configured a CC FTP sender to get files from a remote server (in test mode).
As I start this channel, CC monitor retrieves the following error message:
"Could not process file '<getThisFile>.xml': com.sap.aii.adapter.file.ftp.FTPEx: 550 outbox: No such file or directory."
where '<getThisFile>.xml' is filename and "outbox" is the directory.
I presume that it recognizes the filename and the directory but the error message says "dir or file are wrongs".
I tried the same action by command line with same user and password ftp. Result: I was able to get this file from dir "outbox".
...I should exclude a file permission problem.
Here below, some Logs from "default.trc" file:
#1.5#001125BDB332006E000000390006802E0004400DCACAD490#1196327887885#com.sap.aii.adapter.file.File2XI##com.sap.aii.adapter.file.File2XI.processFtpList()#J2EE_GUEST#0####ff6d7bd09e5b11dc9e34001125bdb332#XI File2XI[CC_FTP_SND_Order_new/BS_Arianna_DEV/]_57##0#0#Error#1

where:
CC_FTP_SND_Order_new is the CC sender;
BS_Arianna_DEV related Business Service.
'orders.00089872.xml' file to get.

.... nothing else.
Have you ever faced a similar problem? Any suggestion to fix it?
Thanks in advance

Hi friends,
FTP server is a Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]
When I log in, I only change in a sub dir called outbox.
If I put back slash before (for WinOS), the dir path is wrong (cd \outbox should mean that outbox is under root).
Some FTP server logs:
Nov 29 09:40:00 golem ftpd[25272]: USER 8023******
Nov 29 09:40:00 golem ftpd[25272]: PASS password****
Nov 29 09:40:00 golem ftpd[25272]: SYST
Nov 29 09:40:00 golem ftpd[25272]: TYPE Image
Nov 29 09:40:00 golem ftpd[25272]: CWD outbox
Nov 29 09:40:00 golem ftpd[25272]: PASV
Nov 29 09:40:00 golem ftpd[25272]: LIST orders*
Nov 29 09:40:00 golem ftpd[25272]: CWD outbox
Nov 29 09:40:00 golem ftpd[25272]: QUIT
I suppose that XI works fine and FTP server receives two times the "cd outbox" command. II also suppose that this Windows FTP server memorizes the subdir "outbox" each time I log in by FTP with user "8023******"

Receiver file adapter posts multiples for singel source files

Hi,
I am using wild character in my input source ftp adapter but my receiver file adapter is creating multiple duplicate files. I am not sure why this happens as QOS is set to "Exactly Once" with archive processing mode. I tried with delete mode and the same error occurs. We had no problems testing it in our Dev environment but in QA its acting so strangely...Any advise is appreciated..
-Teresa

Hi,
2. Homany files you posted at oubound directory?
1. You said duplicate files at receiver side, is the files having time stamp? if so those are not duplicate files.
Thanks,

FTP adapter for Oracle Service Bus - retrieve file by dynamic file name.

Hi
I am newbie in OSB. I try to use FTP transport in Workshop, it must fill in "Prefix" and "Suffix" for destination file name.
But for us, the file name is sent by external systems.
The workflow is:
1. External system call our proxy services.
2. Proxy service get file name from SOAP message.
3. Proxy Service get the file from FTP server.
4. The file send to Business services.
Any suggestions to implement about workflows?

Let me first put here what I understand about the flow:
External Sytem -->(filename)--> OSB HTTP PS --> (1) --> OSB FTP BS --> Read file based on filename
|--> (2) --> send file ontent to another system or return to the original system
If that is the flow, then I beileve ther is no straight forward way to implement it in OSB.
OSB FTP BS will only write a file to FTP Location.
If you create a JCA FTP Adapter for reading the file, then you can use it only to create a Proxy Service, and that proxy will not pick up the file when called from another service but only when a file is put on the source FTP location.
So, to implement the solution you will need to use Java Callout to a class which has code written to accept the file name as input, read the file from an FTP location and return the file content.
This is my understanding of how it is, may be there is another way to implement this or in fact may be the latest version of OSB 11.1.1.4 or 11.1.1.5 JCA adapter does support read operation within a flow instead of just at the start of the flow.

Hi Rama Krishna
Are you saying that you are transferring data of your
internal table to another server using a FM??? Am not
sure if that can be done.
How about trying this way????
Download the data to a file on your application
server, using open dataset statement. Then transfer this
file to the other server using FM's FTP_CONNECT, FTP_COMMAND ....
Kind Regards

Export pdf and save as using digits.pdf eliminating all the text characters from the source file.

Hi all,
Usually when we export pdf from indesign or whatever software,,, the pdf file naming will be as per source file...
eg., 123456_dfdfjljf_ULCC.indd will be exported and saved as 123456_dfdfjljf_ULCC.pdf.
my request is "the pdf should be saved as 12345.pdf avoiding all the characters following first digits.
hint: first digists may be more or less than 4 digits....
My request is any number of digits should be saved as 23232.......pdf and avoding the following characters.
please help me... i have hell lot of pdf to export from indesign.......
thanks
bobylon.

There is no "whatever" here - when you export from InDesign or other software each piece of software makes its own naming decisions. It isn't an Acrobat or JavaScript thing at all.
