Sending empty files using SFTP Adapter

I am trying to send empty files using SFTP adapter. The interface has to send the file whether its empty file or containing data using SFTP adapter. I am using BizTalk Server 2013 R2. Is it a bug or the hotfix is already there for this issue.

The issue here is not your SFTP not able to send 0KB files, but the file receive adapter that is receiving the file. The file adapter deletes 0 KB files and doest not transmit it further.
If u have a ftp receive for example you should be able to send 0KB files.
If u have a custom file receive adapter , is it handling 0KB files ?

How to handle empty file using sftp adapter

Hi,
Please explain me how to handle empty files in sftp adapter.
Thanks,
Enivass

Hi Enivaas,
I don't have the seeburger sftp adapter at hand at the moment, but asfar as I remember, this does not specifically have an empty-file handling option like the standard ftp adapter.
So to stop emtyp files from being written, guess would need to handle this at the mapping level. For example, check for target creation criteria in the header node in mapping. If the creation criteria is not met, you can throw an error in mapping.
You may also incorporate this condition in your Receiver determination. In this case, if the condition is not satisfied, no receiver is determined in PI.

Sending/receiving files using SFTP

Hi,
Is there a way to use the Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) in ABAP to send/receive files?
I already used the FTP functionality from the function group SFTP, but I'm honestly not sure whether ABAP also handles the secure version of FTP.
If there is this functionality, please provide me the necessary function modules, ...
Thanks in advance
Bye,
Timo

FTP functionality woks fine in ABAP. Below is some code which can be used for FTP access to send/receive files.
Initially, get values for the below fields
DATA: l_user(30) TYPE c VALUE <userid>,
 l_pwd(30) TYPE c VALUE <password>,
 l_host(64) TYPE c VALUE <host string>,
DATA: l_slen TYPE i,
 l_error,
 l_pwd(30) TYPE c.
CONSTANTS: c_dest TYPE rfcdes-rfcdest VALUE 'SAPFTP',
 c_key TYPE i VALUE 26101957.
connect to ftp server
l_pwd = p_pwd.
l_slen = STRLEN( l_pwd ).
CALL FUNCTION 'HTTP_SCRAMBLE'
 EXPORTING
 SOURCE = l_pwd
 sourcelen = l_slen
 key = c_key
 IMPORTING
 destination = l_pwd.
CALL FUNCTION 'SAPGUI_PROGRESS_INDICATOR'
 EXPORTING
 text = 'Connect to FTP Server'.
CALL FUNCTION 'FTP_CONNECT'
 EXPORTING
 user = l_user
 password = l_pwd
 host = l_host
 rfc_destination = c_dest
 IMPORTING
 handle = w_hdl
 EXCEPTIONS
 OTHERS = 1.
IF sy-subrc <> 0.
 MESSAGE ID sy-msgid TYPE sy-msgty NUMBER sy-msgno
 WITH sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2 sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4.
ENDIF.
CLEAR : w_outfile, w_file_count.
concatenate <directory> <filename> to field.
MOVE field to w_outfile.
PERFORM download_to_ftp TABLES <int'table>
 USING w_outfile.
FORM download_to_ftp TABLES it_tab
 USING l_string TYPE char64.
CALL FUNCTION 'FTP_R3_TO_SERVER'
 EXPORTING
 handle = w_hdl
 fname = l_string
 character_mode = 'X'
 TABLES
 text = it_tab[]
 EXCEPTIONS
 tcpip_error = 1
 command_error = 2
 data_error = 3
 OTHERS = 4.
IF sy-subrc <> 0.
 MESSAGE ID sy-msgid TYPE sy-msgty NUMBER sy-msgno
 WITH sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2 sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4
 RAISING invalid_output_file.
ENDIF.
Above is used to send.
For receiving use
CALL FUNCTION 'FTP_SERVER_TO_R3'
 EXPORTING
 handle = w_hdl
 fname = l_string
 character_mode = 'X'
 TABLES
 text = it_tab[]
 EXCEPTIONS
 tcpip_error = 1
 command_error = 2
 data_error = 3
 OTHERS = 4.
IF sy-subrc <> 0.
 MESSAGE ID sy-msgid TYPE sy-msgty NUMBER sy-msgno
 WITH sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2 sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4
 RAISING invalid_output_file.
ENDIF.
Hope this will help U.

Send a file usring SOAP adapter

Can I send a file using SOAP adapter on the sender side.
reg,

Henrique Pinto,
I am trying something out. The scenario I am trying would be a very small but imp part of a bigger business requirement.
I am trying out different options to show the clinet.
1.Started XMLSPY and selected, SOAP>Create new SOAP request>
Now u r asked to browse for the wsdl....DONE. Clicked on OK
Now the request created as an xml file.
2.Go to SOAP> Send SOAP request > there is a new xml file which is the response.
I did not get any errors. I see a file in the target directory.
My problem is where it would really be picking up the data.
WSDL has only referrence to the definition of the message type
(in the definition of O/B interface )
As you have already mentioned that in XI, message type should be refering to file message. If this is the case, how would I incorporate the data in that message.
I hope I am clear.

Maximum file size data that can be send to MQ using mq adapter

Dear All,
What is the maximum file size data that can be send to MQ using mq adapter ?
The file can be csv, fixed , xml.
Please let me know if anybody is aware of any limitations
Best Regards
Arc

If you are on 10g then you are looking at a limit of 7MB, although any messages over 1MB will require some tuning.
You can integrate using the native schema, or xml so you can use csv, fixed length, and xml files.
cheers

Dummy XML not getting generated from empty file by J2EE adapter module

Hi All,
i know when XI gets an empty input text file, it does not generate a send message for it in sender communication channel.
in my scenario, if i get a file with data, i have to generate an XML message for it using file content conversion - this i have done...........
but if i get an empty text file, then i have to generate a dummy XML send message for it for my BPM.......
So i made a J2EE adapter module to generate dummy xml for empty file.....when i give a file with data in it, then my adapter module is called..... but when i give an empty file, then my adapter module is not called.........
Can anybody suggest why the module processor is not invoking my customer-adapter module when an empty file is given.............but the module processor is invoking my customer-adapter module when a file with data is given.
Thanks,
Rajeev Gupta

Hi Amit,
Below is the code of process method which i used:
public ModuleData process(ModuleContext moduleContext,
ModuleData inputModuleData)
 throws ModuleException
Object obj;
Message msg_audit;
AuditMessageKey amk;
try
File f = new File("/components/XITEMP/sample/PWC/check.txt");
PrintStream ps;
if (f.canWrite())
FileOutputStream fos =new FileOutputStream(f);
ps = new PrintStream(fos);
ps.println("Testing");
ps.close();
fos.close();
else
f = new File("/components/XITEMP/sample/PWC/check4.txt");
if (f.exists() ==false)
f.createNewFile();
obj = inputModuleData.getPrincipalData();
if (obj!=null)
msg_audit = (Message)obj;
amk = new AuditMessageKey(msg_audit.getMessageId(),AuditDirection.OUTBOUND);
Audit.addAuditLogEntry(amk,AuditLogStatus.SUCCESS,"FileCheck: Module called");
else
String str = new String();
String str1 = new String();
 str1="<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"utf-8\" ?>";
 str1+="<ns:MT_PWC_RECORD xmlns:ns=\"urn://PWC_SR3_01/PWC/Customer\">";
 str1+="<RECORD_SET>";
 str1+="<RECORD>";
 str1+="<RECORD_DATA>BLANK_FILE</RECORD_DATA>";
 str1+="</RECORD>";
 str1+="</RECORD_SET>";
 str1+="</ns:MT_PWC_RECORD>";
str=str1;
inputModuleData.setPrincipalData(str);
catch(Exception e)
try
File f = new File("/components/XITEMP/sample/PWC/check.txt");
PrintStream ps;
if (f.canWrite())
FileOutputStream fos =new FileOutputStream(f);
ps = new PrintStream(fos);
ps.println(e.toString());
ps.close();
fos.close();
catch(Exception ex)
return inputModuleData;
 }
in the above methood, i used file operations at start just to see whether the module is getting invoked or not...so when i give a data file, then the file operations are performed and messages are written in audit log.........but when i give an empty file, then the file operations are not performed - meaning the module is not getting invoked........
Thanks,

Need to transfer files using sftp via java api's.

Hi,
I got a requirement to transfer files using sftp via java api's.
Kindly specify any 3rd party Java Libraray to do this.
The requirements are
-It must support extensive encryption algorithms.
-It must allow generating public/private keys and authenticating with server by sending the keys first(before the actual file transmission).
Thanks.

Don't resurrect old threads, please. Start your own thread.
Better yet: google for "Java SFTP", look at what you find and come back when you have a specific question.
And: when you ask a specific question, then clarify if you're talking about the [SSH file transfer protocol|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SSH_file_transfer_protocol] or about FTPS, which is sometimes (wrongly) called SFTP.

How to send a file using IOCP?

When using blocking sockets, all I had to do to send a file was to open the file and loop through it and send it in chunks.
But I find sending a file using overlapped sockets to be more challenging. I can think of the following approach to do it:
I open the file and send the first chunk, and I keep track of the file handle and file position.
Now when I get a completion packet indicating that some data has been sent, I check to see if the socket is currently in the process of sending a file, and if it is, I retrieve the file handle and file position and send the next chunk.
I repeat step 2 until I reach the last chunk in the file, and then I close the file.
Is this approach correct?
Note: I don't want to use TransmitFile().

This approach is more or less correct, but maybe you'd have to know some more things.
If send "returns" it means, that you buffer has been copied into the internal buffer of system or the network interface card or whatever... in general it means, that you can free/reuse the buffer you have used, but it doesn't mean, that the data
has been delivered (it does not even mean it has been sent already).
That's why I'm normally using some flow-control (messages from the receiver) to verify the real data flow.
The next point is, that you shouldn't read from the file only after you got the ok that the first chunk has been sent. You should read the data as soon as possible so that you can respond much quicker to a send-complete-message. I'd recommend to send using
multiple buffers.

Sending a File Using DataGram Sockets

I writting one java program that can be used to transfer a file from one computer to another computer.
I wrote using Sockets.
But i want to do that using DatagramSockets. Can we send a file using DataGramSockets?
Please reply soon.

You can use DataGram but it is harder.
One issue is you need to retransmit missing packets. This means you need to keep track of which packets have been sent and be able to send missing ones again.
If Socket work for you why do you want to use DataGrams

Send A file Using JMS

I want to send a file Using JMS.. and want to have
These Details in the message that send.
Receivers IP address & The file
That mean I want to send a File from one client to another client Using a Queue
Can Anyone help me to solve this problem
thanks

Read the file then use a JMS BytesMessage or TextMessage. Add your own JMS header for the recievers ip and any other info you want to annotate the message with.
Watch out for character encoding and max file size problems.
If your client / server are not on the same network you're likely to run into firewall issues.
Don't kid yourself that this will be a transactional solution.
Assumes both clients are Java (JMS headers are a pain to read otherwise)

Sending multiple files using file adapter

The scenario I am implementing requires multiple files of different names to be picked up by my adapter. I dont want to create different file adapters for each file. I tried using the "Additonal Files" option in the sender file adapter in my configuration, but am not able to do the same. Any idea as to how the configuration for multiple files for same adapter isto be done?

Hi bhavesh
Fundamental of adapter configuration is you have to give valid xml structure to XI, so you will define your configuration according to your requirement.
for .xml you have file as a message protocol while for .csv you have file content conversion as a message protocol.
So you have to define adpater configuration for sender side for one type of structure.
So you need a different communication channel for different extentions.
for diffrent strcutures,having same extention, you can execute this.
Please make me clear that what is your scenario?
why you need to pick all files under a directory with a same communication channel?
