Simple (File-XI-File)scenario

Hi,
I am going through Venkat Donela's simpe (File-XI-File)scenario Part1 and part2.

https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/1345. [original link is broken] [original link is broken] [original link is broken] [original link is broken] [original link is broken]
But my XI did not pick up the input file. I use SXMB_MONI and look at the message monitoring. It says "No message has been selected'. I don't see "adapter monitoring" option on my "Runtime WorkBench".
Is there anybody could tell me how I can monitor the scenario execution? I checked the every step states in Venkat Donela's sample.
Any comments and advice will be highly appreciated.

Hi,
The best way to check if your file is being picked is to set the "Processing Mode to Delete"....So then you will know if your file is actually being picked...
Also go to Message Monitoring of RWB and check for the status. Because if you have content conversion problems then it will show there in MDT(Message Display Tool under Message Monitoring).
And if you are using NFS connection for Sender File Adapter, try to check for the checkBox "ReadOnly Files".
Pls go through the explanation of a simmilar scenario that i have explained below and compare it with what you have done..
Please go thru the following links and clear all your doubts.

Simple File 2 File scenario - binary

XI freaks hello,
I want to run a simple text File to text File scenario without ANY change of the file encoding.
currently it is running using the Binary type (I don't want to mess with the content encoding of the text file).
would this be ok?
mind you..the file is taken from a Windows FS and moved to another FS...would this might cause encoding problem? should the original program create the file with the target server encoding
cheers

Got it from the market place.
Note 821267 - FAQ: XI 3.0 / PI 7.0 File Adapter
"Flat Files without File Content Conversion
Whether to configure an encoding in this case depends on if you want to pass through the file "as is", e.g. within a File Sender to File Receiver scenario, or if you want to convert the file's encoding on its way through the Integration Server. <B>For "as is" processing, configure both the sender and the receiver using the File Type setting "Binary".</B>
To apply an encoding conversion, configure the respective source and target encoding in both the sender and receiver channel."

Encountering error in simple file 2 file scenario

Hi,
Working on a very simple file 2 file scenario , where input contains 1 header record identified with a key field and detail record conntains more than 1 records identified with key field. Used very specific FCC. But it was unable to generate the output file (a simple text file without any translation) giving errors as below -
1. File Adapter Receiver Channel cc_target: Not initialized - cannot proceed: null
2. MP: exception caught with cause com.sap.engine.interfaces.messaging.api.exception.MessagingException: Channel has not been correctly initialized and cannot process messages
3. Adapter Framework caught exception: Channel has not been correctly initialized and cannot process messages
4. Delivering the message to the application using connection File_http://sap.com/xi/XI/System failed, due to: com.sap.engine.interfaces.messaging.api.exception.MessagingException: Channel has not been correctly initialized and cannot process messages.
Input File structure is like
H1,XXXXX
D1,YYYYYY
D1,ZZZZZ
D1,NNNN
H1 and D1 are key identifiers of header and detail record
Need same format output file, used FCCs (1) fieldSeperator (2) endSeparator (3)ignoreRecordsetname (4) fieldNames (5) keyfieldvalue.
Can anyone pls suggest ?
AC

Hi ,
Use FCC Like this.
Doccument Name                        MT_Source( Your Source Message Type name)
Doccument Namespace                   http://xxxxxx(Your Message type Name space)

Problem in Simple file to file scenario

Hello,
I am new to SAP PI 7.3. I am doing a simple file to file scenario. The source file contains key,name,id,gender,role & location field. I have done a simple mapping to create the same file in the target side. I have done all the configuration in ESR & ID.
But the problem is that in the target file ( Destination File ) i am getting only key field and the other fields are missing.
Note: In communication channel monitoring, the communication channel is functioning properly and in message monitor also, the status is 'delivered'.
The source payload also contains all the fields correctly. In message mapping (in ESR) also, the target payload is also generating correctly. But in the destination file I am getting the key field only and the rest fields are missing.
Can you please suggest me what to do and where is the problem?
Thanks & Regards,
Moumita

Hello,
Do u have any MT name above Record node? If yes, then u have to change ur structre little bit. Check my reply in the thread pasted below.

Help with simple file to file BPM scenario

Hi Gurus,
I am doing simple file to file BPM scenario.
I am getting an error in SXI_CACHE with status code 99.
I activated the business process then status code changed to 2.
When i tried to activate the process again i am getting prompted to enter access key details.
Is there any other way to get rid of the error i.e., to get the status code to zero with giving access key details.Sample access key details are also greatly appreciated.

Hi Bhavesh,
I tried doing that but of no use.
I registered at https://websmp230.sap-ag.de/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/minisap/minisap.htm
and got a mail with details.I was actually looking for access key details in the mail from sap.The details in the mail contains License key but not access key .Are the both access key and license key same?

Simple File to Database Scenario

Dear Experts
I am working on a File to Database scenario. My requirement is to update the database with latest information. For example
1. First day i got a file of 100 records...Insert all the 100 records.
2. Second day i will get 110 records (here 100 records is old data and 10 records is the delta). Now PI needs to lookup with DB and insert the updates of 100 records and insert the delta 10 records...
3. Third day i got 125 records file (here 110 is previous days data and 15 is todays delta). I need to update the changes of all the 110 and insert 15 delta records
Thanks

Hi,
Since you want to update the existing records and insert the delta, the 'update_insert' option of JDBC receiver should fulfill your requirements.
Refer the following links for more help on this

Step by Step Guide Details for RFC to File and File to RFC scenario

Hi Guru's
Good day to you. I am tyring to develop some scenarios based on RFC adaptor. so i want to start up with basic scenarios like RFC to File scenario(Here i just want to pull some data from SAP using RFC and put it in destination folder as an text file) and FILE to RFC scenario (Here i just want to take some data from the file and update into SAP).
For doing these scenarios i would like to request you people to send me the step by step guide which explains me about the complete steps of configurations required to do the RFC to FILE scenario and FILE to RFC scenario.
I found some scenarios and i am in confused state. so i request you to please put your experience to help me out.
thanks in advance.
Regards
Raj

Hi Aaron,
I don't know your scenario and your ECC and PI versions but I learned how to use ABAP Proxy more than 1 year ago with the following tutorial:
Edit--> The forum doesn't allow me to post external link, just search "ABAP Proxy Communication Scenario" in google and visit the 1st result
The way to develop ABAP Proxys has changed a little if your PI is 7.1. In the ECC side, the transaction SPROXY looks much better too if you have a recent version of the ECC.
Edited by: Marshal on Oct 8, 2009 5:08 PM
I've found that SDN Document. Maybe the scenario is not the most simple to start with ABAP Proxy but is very well documented and is for PI 7.1. The document also handles the inbound and outbound proxys

Ftp for file to file scenario

Hi Experts,
I have a simple file to file scenario where file has to be sent to ip address 10.1.2.3 (receiver machine).
So first I tried using NFS , sharing a folde ron 10.1.2.3 , but the sender channel in XI showed error and was unable to find the path.
So I installed Guild ftp pro on 10.1.2.3 .....the scenario was nw working fine...
all was well untill I discoverd
when i had to send a file from 10.1.2.3 wher the file name was fixed with the time stamp
that when I use filename*.txt in the sender channel , the sender channel shows error in the communication channel monittoring..
further posts on sdn concluded that wild character * cannot be used in guild ftp...
ne idea on how I can proceeed further??
are there other softwares like guild ftp?
help appriciated..
Regards,
Teja
Edited by: Ravindra Teja on Jan 10, 2012 3:14 PM

I had good experiences with WSFTP and Filezilla. You may try them.

File to File multiple scenario without mapping

Hi
I am doing one simple file to file scenario without mapping i.e picking file from sender directory and then placing it in receiver directory via FTP.
Now i have to take two files from different directories and place them in to different directories in the receiver side.
On the sender side i have selected Advanced selection for source file and maintained the sceond directory name and filename.
now i am not aware about the reciver side that how to place the two files in to different directories.
I have to make only one interface for this.
Thanks in advance.

u have to follow the code in the link provided above but with some manipulations...
in case u r placing the files in different target dir depending upon the source directory then ur code will be something like this:
Note: i dont have a system as of now..so cant able to check the code for syntax errors..please cross check it
MessagePropertyKey mpk = new MessagePropertyKey("Directory","http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File");
String SourceDir = msg.getMessageProperty(mpk);
if(SourceDir.equals("/SourceDirectory1"))
String targetDir1 = "/TargetDirectory1"
msg.setMessageProperty("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File","Directory",targetDir1);
else if(SourceDir.equals("/SourceDirectory2"))

File to SOAP Scenario Using BPM

Hi,
I am doing File to SOAP scenario using BPM.
while doing Integration Process in IR, i got the following error message
"Expression of simple type xsd:string expected"
But i have given xsd:string in the correlation element as well as in Data types.
I dont know why it is getting the error.
could you anyone please help me to sort out?

Hey,
Check in the correlation editor, where you define the condition.
Whether the data type of the XPath is string and whether it matches with the data type of the messages that you have selected.also make sure the type of the correlation variable is string.

Strange error in File-XI-JDBC scenario

Dear All,
I am working currently on File-XI-JDBC scenario and is facing with a stange problem.
I have writtern one simple query which is downloading the data from R/3 and is sending to XI Server local folder. From that folder File is getting picked by XI and is posted into SQL database.
Now, when I am generating the required file from R/3-DEV server then my scenario is getting executed successfully but if file is generated thru R/3-QAS Server then the scenario is giving the following error "Message processing failed. Cause: com.sap.aii.af.ra.ms.api.RecoverableException: Error processing request in sax parser: Error when executing statement for table/stored proc. 'MARA_UPDATE' (structure 'Statement'): java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][SQLServer 2000 Driver for JDBC][SQLServer]Error converting data type nvarchar to smalldatetime."
Also, if I am copying the complete data from the error file and paste it into a new file and executing again then the scenario is executing correctly.
I have checked the payload and didn't find anything there.
Kindly help me in solving this error.
Regards,
N.J

Hi Farooq,
Thanx for your reply. But this scenario is running when we are sending the file from R/3-DEV Server and also if I am copying all the contents of the error file and pasting it into a new file and then processing the file then the scenario is getting executed and I am getting no error with the same data which I have processed earlier and has thrown error.
