SFTP Adapter for XI

Hi,
what is the prefered SFTP adapter for XI/PI?
I was looking at Seeburger SFTP,Aedaptive SFTP and any other Adapters provided by thirdparty for SAP XI/PI.
I think Aedaptive SFTP is new product from Aedaptive.
does any one have clue about the prices for Seeburger SFTP,Aedaptive SFTP?and can we use thse adapters seemlessly in XI,like we do with XI standard adapters?
thank you,
Sathish

Hey
>>does any one have clue about the prices for Seeburger SFTP,Aedaptive SFTP?and can we use thse adapters seemlessly in XI,like we do with XI standard adapters?
i m not sure about the cost,but once the adapter is installed on XI,you will be able to use it as any other out of the box adapter.
call SeeBurger about the cost.
Thanx

How to do FCC with SFTP adapter (BIC MD tool)

Dear All,
Hi guys...can anyone tell how to do FCC with SFTP adapter (Seeburger).
Can BIC MD tool do the FCC required. can anyone provide link which tells steps to perform FCC with BIC MD.
we know that we can use the standard module for it. but we are trying to explore this BIC MD and its limitations.
Regards,
Senthilprakash

Hi,
Im closing this thread as its open for long time now.
well i have even found the solution for the same.
SFTP adapter as such does not have FCC functionality.
we have to use SAP Modules for performing FCC in SFTP adapter.
for complex conversions (more than 3 levels) we can use BIC tool and then deploy the module in our adapter.

Dynamic directory for Sender SFTP adapter

Hi All,
Hope everybody is doing fine.
I need urgent help for below requirement for SFTP adapter ,client requirement is
We have deployed the SAP security Add ons (PGP-SFTP) for one of the requirements in our PI system (PI 7.11 SPS 11).
The SFTP adapter is configured to read files from the source system.As per the guidelines from the source system , we need to determine the source directory dynamically and then poll the files.
The source folder structure looks something like this :
\Archive\FROM_System\<yyyy>\<mm>\<dd>\Interface1
\Archive\FROM_System\<yyyy>\<mm>\<dd>\Interface2
That is we need to pick up the file every day from a new folder, say, for 24th July 2013 - \Archive\FROM_System\2013\07\24\Interface1
25 July - \Archive\FROM_System\2013\07\25\Interface2
Will the PI SFTP adapter support this kind of requirement? As this is sftp sender adapter Operating system level command option is also not available.
Do we have any standard module/Bean to dynamically change directory name in the sender SFTP adapter?
i will really appreciate your quick help.
Thanks
Monica

Hi Monica,
Yes it should work. Did you check this thread:
http://scn.sap.com/thread/3376137
Also refer to the following documentation link for the SFTP sender adapter (scroll down to the adapter specific message attributes):

BizTalk 2013 SFTP Adapter : Host Instance configured for SFTP Receive cause high CPU usage

Hi,
Our BizTalk 2013 Server test env have 16 GB RAM. We have one SFTP Receive Location which is using a dedicated Host instance for SFTP receive.
As soon as we start this SFTP Host Instance it starts consuming 50-60% CPU. (Even when it is not handling any file receive)
As suggested in below thread, to fix this issue, we changed the SFTP RL default configuration. i.e. Changed polling interval from default 0 sec to
10 minutes and also changed the RL Schedule window to business hours only.
https://connectedpawns.wordpress.com/2014/04/13/biztalk-2013-sftp-adapter-biztalk-host-receiving-throttled-because-processmemory-exceeded-the-configured-throttling-limit/#comment-2602
Even after changing the RL configuration , the Host Instance continuously consumes ~60% CPU.
Any suggestions to troubleshoot more on this issue ?
Thanks in advance !!

This is one of the issue which has already been raised to Microsoft and hopefully a public build will be available soon in next cumulative update pack .
There are variety of reason for this starting for password mismatch or password not given , SFTP adapter unable to connect and so on .
There is good post here in below link for this issue
http://thoughtsofmarcus.blogspot.co.uk/2013/06/leaving-password-blank-in-biztalk-2013.html
Another greate artcicle is by Nino which states these issues .SFTP adapter is protocol sensitive and some configuration by server side, can cause a lot of crazy situations

Sender SFTP Adapter channel is not polling for files

Hello All,
Couple of SFTP sender adapter channel was failing in Developent system with u201Cdirectory listingu201D error.All SFTP sender channels stopped polling for the files in Developent system . We were unable to find the reason for adapter failure, Hence we restarted the j2ee server and adapter started polling files. Later we are facing the same issue in Quality system. THe adapter cahnnel is not polling files in Quality system even.
All lean tool adapters were showing the u201CHost key was not accepted erroru201D on 27th of Feb . As per the other channel trace, the time stamp of last successful polling and error time stamp of lean tool sender channels are exactly same
Eventhough two communication channels access the same SFTP adapter, one communicationchannel is getting 'Host key was not accepted error' but in other communication channel, files are getting picked.
Please let me know the solution if you have come accross this issue previously

Hi Mike,
Thanks for your reply.
Its not a standard SFTP adapter rather its a C-BURGER SFTP adapter.
Sorry I did not mention this in my previous post

Should FTP on the system be ENABLED for SFTP Adapter to work from BPEL Code

Hi,
I am trying to SFTP files from server1 to server2. I am getting the below fault message,
faultName: {{http://schemas.oracle.com/bpel/extension}bindingFault} messageType: {{http://schemas.oracle.com/bpel/extension}RuntimeFaultMessage} parts: {{ summary=<summary>Exception occured when binding was invoked. Exception occured during invocation of JCA binding: "JCA Binding execute of Reference operation 'Put' failed due to: Unable to read response. Unable to read response. Unable to read response from host: earth.as.local Please make sure that the ftp server settings are correct and that the ftp server is up. ". The invoked JCA adapter raised a resource exception. Please examine the above error message carefully to determine a resolution. </summary> ,detail=<detail>Read timed out</detail> ,code=<code>null</code>}
I have configured FTP Adapter JNDI name and other details correctly,
hostname, username, password, usesftp(true),port(22).
On the server2, the FTP was disabled and was getting the aforesaid error.
But when we enabled FTP on server2, the SFTP started working fine with the same configurations of JNDI.
So, to conclude, Should FTP on the system be ENABLED for SFTP Adapter to work from SOA BPEL Code?
Please give your valuable comments and suggestions.
Thanks & Regards,
Nagaraj Ganapa

Yes, if you are trying to write a file using SFTP/FTP to any machine, a SFTP/FTP server should be running on that machine and there should be a process listening on the correct port(22/21). This is true for any other application as well and not just for Oracle BPEL. You can not send a file to a server using SFTP/FTP when the FTP/SFTP process is not running on that server.

Oracle SFTP adapter Configuration for BPEL process (11.1.1.3 )

Hi All,
Can someone tell me how to configure the FTP adapter for window's server.
We already have a bpel process with FTP adapter but it is set up for unix server , we want to change the location to window's server.
Can any one provide me with what changes need to be made at the ftp adapter level in jdeveloper and also on the weblogic console for the existing bpel process .
Thanks in advance.

Thanks a lot!
Will follow the steps as mentioned in the link: SOA / BPM on Oracle Fusion Middleware: SOA Suite 11g - FTP Adapter
I am confused about the path mentioned while configuring the adapter in jdev Physical path for windows should be the ftp server path provided by client and it should begin with \winserver\local and not like \\winserver\local ???
+
The configuration needs to be done on the weblogic console also as mentioned in the above link so for this FTP server - login details - host ,username /password , serverType is required.

SFTP adapter

Hi Experts,
I have SFTP to FILE adapter without ESR objects scenario.
I just need pick file from remote location and drop in to receiver side with same file name.
In this what ever I am picking up source files via SFTP adapter need to generate the same file name in receiver side.
When I have choose ASMA in SFTP adapter it is failing receiver side (File) . File name is not found like .
I have put file name is XYZ_*.* in source in SFTP adapter and Target side *.* in File adapter
this configuration is not working getting error in receiver side.
Can you please suggest to me any alternate solution for this scenario.

Sender sFTP Adapter - SSH Key

Hi All,
I have a small doubt regarding Sender sFTP Adapter. This is what we have done to connect with one of Vendor
1.     Basis created a SSH key in NWA for Vendor and sent to them.
2.     They linked the SSH key with user name and asked me to use the same.
3.     We got the firewalls openepd b/w PI and Vendor
4.     I provided the same detail in sFTP adapter, but I am not able to connect,
I am getting below error:
Error: Cannot connect to SFTP server. Host=########, port=22, username=#####. Private key store=########, private key alias=piPKCS12. Timeout=300000 msecs. Absolute home directory=.: KeyStoreException in Method: getPrivateKey( KeyStore, String, String ). The requested keystore type is not available in the default provider package or any of the other provider packages that were searched. (Software version: 3.0.14.2)
Please provide your inputs.
Regards,
Sachin Dhingra

Hi,
The first thing you have to do is use the same userid and the pwd and try to connect to the vendor system from your application layer and see if this is connecting or not. If there is a problem in connection then there are few steps that you have to follow. Below are the steps you need to follow:
1. Open the port from your Vendor side as well as open the port from your XI system(there might be two ports)
2. Generate the key of your vendor system and one you started login to the system then it will ask to instal the key , so acept it.
the IS people can help you out over here.
3. Try to push the one dummy file in that location manually using the command in application layer.
4. check the authorization in the target directory and try to provide the proper authorization,, 777 is used for full authorization.
5. use the same useid and the pwd and then try from your xi system processign a dummy file.
hope this helps.
cheers,

How to configure SFTP Adapter in XI?

Hi All,
How to configure SFTP adapter in XI?, It would be great if anyone sends a step-by-step documentation on the same.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
About SFTP .
1) SFTP (Secure File Transfer Protocol)
"SSH File Transfer Protocol" or SFTP is a network protocol that provides file transfer and manipulation functionality over any reliable data stream. It is typically used with the SSH-2 protocol to provide secure file transfer. SFTP encrypts the session, preventing the casual detection of username, password or anything that is being transmitted. One key benefit to SFTP is its ability to handle multiple secure file transfers over a single encrypted pipe. By using a single encrypted pipe, there are fewer holes in the corporate firewall.
SFTP:
As per the latest SAP PI/XI support pack, it does not support SFTP via File Adapter.
So alternative approach to cater this requirement from XI is to make use of Unix Script at OS level to transfer the files from/to third-party systems.
Inbound Interface - i.e. third-party system ->XI->SAP:
File is transferred to a folder in SAP XI landscape from the third-party legacy system using UNIX Script with secured protocol. Once the file is ready in the XI landscape, File Adapter will poll this directory and file is picked up by NFS protocol.
Outbound Interface i.e. SAP->XI->third-party system:
XI is responsible for writing a file into a folder in the XI landscape. These files are transferred to the third-party system by executing UNIX scripts with secured protocol i.e. via sFTP.
Pre-Requisites:
Public key should be exchanged between external systems and the PI system.
UNIX shell script has to be developed and scheduled.
Advantages:
Highly Secured.
Ability to handle multiple secure file transfers over a single encrypted pipe .By using a single encrypted pipe, there are fewer holes in the corporate firewall.
Disadvantages:
Two-Step process i.e. XI>Temporary folder>External System and vice-versa
Files have to be temporarily stored in XI server.
Multiple failure points i.e. XI and Unix script execution
Maintenance of an external UNIX script.
Difficulty in monitoring the execution of the shell script as it cannot be monitored thru XI.
Need to generate keys and install it in the SFTP site as a pre-requisite i.e. SFTP clients must install keys on the server.
SFTP uses keys rather than certificates. This means that it can't take advantage of the "chains of trust" paradigm facilitated through Certificate Authorities.
Files from the XI server should be deleted/archived in a periodic manner to increase the disc space so that it will increase the performance.
Note: UNIX shell Script can be executed as a background job or' can be triggered from SAP XI through OS command at File adapter level.
Check the links.

Query regarding sftp adapter

Hi
Is there any way we can use dynamic configuration with sftp adapter ?
Requirement is that I need to retrieve input file name and use that somewhere
but for sftp sender I could not locate adapter specific message attributes.
Does that mean its impossible to retrieve file name during runtime?

Hi Akhil
have a look on this links
Standrad File adapter shipped with XI does not support SFTP. You can may be consider using FTPS ( File Transfer Protocol using SSL/TLS ).
Check this link for further info,
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/0b/9a50465ccf84479e39a6d50c90fb3f/content.htm
For HTTPS and FTPS, you need to define if your communication will have certificate authentication, user authentication, none or both. User/password you enter in the adapter parameters, it's simple. For certificates, you need to import (load) it on Key Storage service, service_ssl view, on Visual Administrator (or create the key pair certificate on XI and then sign then on some Certification Authority, on the same service). Check http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/f1/2de3be0382df45a398d3f9fb86a36a/frameset.htm for further information.
