Strange behavior of FILE-Adapter in PROD-System

Hello experts,
well we have a File2IDoc Scenario which is running fine in DEV.
Sender is a Business Service with FTP-Access and Receiver is a Business System with IDoc-CC.
The Service has 2 FTP-CC which are pointing in the same folder, one is reading txt the other csv.
When transporting both to PROD, the one reading txt is running fine. The one reading csv gives this error:
com.sap.aii.adapter.file.ftp.FTPEx: 550 CWD failed. "/Prod/SAP_Input/Liste_Input": directory not found.'
Funny thing is that in DEV the Path ends with "/" which i also configured in PROD but he is not understanding the path!! As mentioned, the txt-CC is reading from the same folder, here the path is accepted!!
So what can i do?!
What i already did:
1. deleted and re-imported the csv-CC + giving the path
2. restart FILE-Service in Visual Admin
Any ideas?! I have no clue!
br

Hi, ok thanks again.
I already enterd the FTP via console and it looks good for the path.
The strange thing is still that even when i delete the path and activate the CC in PROD the old path is still taken. After Cache-Refresh nothing changed.
So i deleted the CC in PROD and in DEV. In DEV i generated a complety new CC polling on the folder. Reconfigured the sender-Agreement, exported.
After importing in PROD still the old CC exists even though i deleted it! Checked CC-Monitoring, still same CC and same error concerning path!
So i went nuts and restarted whole server with DB. After server coming up again, i checked again for the new CC - but it's still the old one!!!!
So what is running wrong here?!
i am really desperate!!

Strange behavior of JDBC Adapter

Hello everybody!
I found a pretty strange behaviour of JDBC Receiver Adapter during problems with network (big thanks to our Basis). According to the status in Adapter Engine, the message wasn't processed. In the database I can see these inserts. However, there are more lines in the XML than lines in the database. So, how it is possible that adapter commits only part of inserts. Logs and settings see below.
My XML includes a SQL_DML statement and a few INSERT statements, each contains many inserts.
It looks like that:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<MyMessage>
    <statement>
        <table1 action="SQL_DML">
            <access>here I delete old values</access>
        </table1>
    </statement>
    <statement>
        <table2 action="INSERT">
            <access>some data</access>
        </table2>
    </statement>
    <statement>
        <table3 action="INSERT">
            <access>some data</access>
        </table3>
    </statement>

Dear All,
Follow the steps below to resolve the "Connection JDBC_http://sap.com/xi/XI/System is currently not started." issue:
1. Log in to NWA
2. Navigate to Operations -> Systems -> Start & Stop
3. Click on Java Services tab
4. Search the service Service "XPI Adapter: JDBC"
5. Select the service XPI Adapter: JDBC and click on Restart button
With the restart of JDBC Service in NWA, the channels should start working properly

Data tuncated in file adapter scenario

Hi,
File adapter scenario - Sender systems passes a file (csv format) to PI which has one of field as 0001. This field is received at PI without the prefix 000. But, the target systems requires the data to be in the same format as the sender. How to solve this?
Thanks

Satish,
It is the behaviour of the CSV files that it trims leading zeros in the columns with numeric values, try this open the CSV file and select the column and right click it in the context menu you would find FORMAT CELLS and change the type of the column to TEXT so that whatever values you enter in that column remain as it is without truncating.
Also, the trick at following link would help
[http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/microsoft-office/how-to-import-a-csv-file-containing-a-column-with-a-leading-0-into-excel/]
Hope this resolves your issue!!

[SOLVED] Re: File Adapter + Debatching + uniquemessageseparator

Hi all
I am facing a strange problem using File Adapter + Debatching + uniquemessageseparator.
There are two BPEL servers, both with the same version (10.1.3.3) and running the same BPEL process. The process reads an EDI flat file using uniquemessageseparator property and debatching set to 1 message per instance.
One of them reads the EDI flat file correclty, the other one sometimes throws an error and doesn´t read the file. Sometimes it reads the file, but this has been an exeption.
Looking the log file, I guess the problem is related to the way BPEL deal with debatching. I believe it creates temporary directories and temporary files to handle the debatching feature and I guess there is a bug in this technique.
Log lines for the server that can´t read the file:

Can anyone give me a help?
Thanks

Hi all, it is "solved": I found an workaround, but not a real solution. Let me explain:
When file/ftp adapter starts to read a file using the debatching technique, bpel creates a control file:
<ORACLE_HOME>/j2ee/home/fileftp/controlFiles/BpelPiAtualizacaoC001E~1.0/gg05kSGbd1hww+mYZuMepg==/inbound/debatch_err_recovery_2 - CENARIO PRINCIPAL - B.txt
(where "2 - CENARIO PRINCIPAL - B.txt" is the file name)
This control-file is used by BPEL to control what is the last portion of the EDI flat file that has been read. If the server fails, it continues to read from that point. After the processing, it deletes the control-file.
However, in some cases BPEL server doesn´t delete the control-file after processing it.
Therefore, when a new file cames but with THE SAME NAME ("2 - CENARIO PRINCIPAL - B.txt" for instance), BPEL uses the old control-file to process the new file,
resulting in not processing the file.
So, the issue is: BPEL is not deleting the control-file in some cases, but I don´t know exactly when this occurs. In my environment, it occurred four times only, and I don´t know exactly how to reproduce it.
So, when you face an issue like this, try to check that temporary directory.

Calling unix scripts in File Adapter

All,
we have a script recindicator.sh in the root of the unix server. This script take 1 parameter.
In the File adapter - "Run Operatning System Command After Message Processing" - we put the following,
recindicator.sh %f
we see the adapter working, but we are not seeing the effects of the script which is supposed to create 2 different files.
Can we run scripts in the "Run Operatning System Command After Message Processing" ? If yes, what is wrong with our configuration?
When we run the script directly on the server, with the parameter - it is working. so no issue in the script.
Thanks,

Hi,
Yes, the script is in XI server. we tried with %F also, it is not working.
At what directory level is the command that we give in the configuration run? is it in the root? or some other SAP folder like - "/SAP/user/..."?
Thanks.

Strange behavior of system with enabled FileVault2, Roaming profile

Hello,
I have encountered strange behavor of my Macbook Air after some testing.
Macbook Air 2012 was newly installed with 10.8.4 and joined network account server on 10.8.4 server with Roaming profile (synced with server home directory). After installing some basic apps like iWork I turned on FileVault.
Then I start to have the strange behavior - iWorks are not displaying content of document - it seams blank - just white screen without any borders where should be at least lines in numbers or empty cells.
Another display problem is in Safari. On same pages (even default Top SItes) it`s flashing and especially when scrolling.
Did you encountered something similar? I`m not able to get rid of it.
Computers was used for some time before turining on FIle Vault and problem started to occur after this action. Disabling of FileVault didn`t helped (properly restarted between steps).
I didn`t found anything strange in Console or elsewhere..

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

Strange behavior on my network... Has my home system been compromised? A disgruntled employee (sysAdmin) could have full access...worried...

I have been experiencing a lot of strange behavior on my home network ever since a disgruntled employee was let go. He was a server admin and had root access to my home network - where I run my business. I am getting a ton of span now, my websites were all infected with xss hacks, and many of my accounts are blacklisted. I did a clean install and DoD erase pass on my hardware, but I still see a lot of errors and my hosts file and VMs look very odd. not to mention the extremely odd loops in my ifconfig... Any help?

If you know or suspect that a hostile intruder has either had physical access to it, or has been able to log in remotely, then there are some steps you should take to make sure that the computer is safe to use.
First, depending on the circumstances, computer tampering may be a crime, a civil wrong, or both. If there's any chance that the matter will be the subject of legal action, then you should do nothing at all without consulting a lawyer or the police. The computer would be the principal evidence in such a case, and you don't want to contaminate that evidence.
Running any kind of "anti-virus" software is pointless. If I broke into a system and wanted to leave a back door, I could do it in a way that would be undetectable by those means—and I don't pretend to any special skill as a hacker. You have to assume that any intruder can do the same. Commercial keylogging software—which has legitimate as well as illegitimate uses—won't be recognized as malware, because it's not malware.
The only way you can be sure that the computer is not compromised is to erase at least the startup volume and restore it to something like the status quo ante. The easiest approach is to recover the entire system from a backup that predates the attack. Obviously, that's only practical if you know when the attack took place, and it was recent, and you have such a backup. You will lose all changes to data, such as email, that were made after the time of the snapshot. Some of those changes can be restored from a later backup.
If you don't know when the attack happened, or if it was too long ago for a complete rollback to be feasible, then you should erase and install OS X. If you don't already have at least two complete, independent backups of all data, then you must make them first. One backup is not enough to be safe.
When you restart after the installation, you'll be prompted to go through the initial setup process for a new computer. That’s when you transfer the data from a backup in Setup Assistant.
Select only users in the Setup Assistant dialog—not Applications, Other files and folders, or Computer & Network Settings. Don't transfer the Guest account, if it was enabled.
Reinstall third-party software from original media or fresh downloads—not from a backup, which may be contaminated.
Unless you were the target of an improbably sophisticated attack, this procedure will leave you with a clean system. If you have reason to think that you were the target of a sophisticated attack, then you need expert help.
That being done, change all Internet passwords and check all financial accounts for unauthorized transactions. Do this after the system has been secured, not before.

Questions about using FILE adapter to connect to other systems

Hi,
in my PI scenario i am facing a problem in usage of the file adapter.
Our PI system is installed on a UNIX server. The target system for upload an download files is a WINDOWS system. The software installed on the WINDOWS system is only able to export the needed file lokal on the WINDOWS server.
Between UNIX systems i can connect a together used fileshare folder. But this won´t help me in my UNIX <> WINDOWS scenario.
I thougt on using an FTP server on the WIDNOWS system to make the PI able to connect via the FTP adapter but this works fine for one or two systems. I don´t think that this ist the best solution when connection to a lot WINDOWS systems, but mayby i am wrong.
Actually i use UC4 to copy the files between the two systems.
Any ideas how to deal generally with such scenarios?
Many thanks
Michael

Even though if you map Unix and Windows OS to read the files, in the long run the design will put you in trouble. Means it requires constant support. Better you go with unix script as per the above suggestion.

SWF file is not working in Portal PROD System

Hi All,
We have written custom mxml script in Adobe Flex 3 which displays the list of applications stored in the DB. Then we have posted that .swf file into our Portal KM and then we have created one URL iView with the location from KM.
These days we are facing issue like the output of the script is not working means the applications are not listed on the portal prod system.
Whenever the issue arieses we are requested to upload the file once again into KM and it works after the upload been done.
We are not sure what could be the reason for this issue and I request any one to assist us to resolve this issue.
Please let me know if you need more info on this issue.
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
Vijaykumar K.

Hi Vijay,
I belive this should be a portal issue, anyways let me give it a try.
I never worked on flex in SAP but did similar stuff in portal content development.
Do you have any traces in that development..?
Did you check any messages being loged in portal...?
Check if there is any issue with the file like couldn't recognise a resource from KM which is required etc.
Cheers,
Sai

File Adapter 7.11 - set operating system command line dynamically

Hi,
is there any way to set the "Operating System Command Line" in the file adapter as ASMA / dynamic attribute?
I need to set a command line exec depending on some XSL mapping values.
thx
holger

hi,
>>>is there any way to set the "Operating System Command Line" in the file adapter as ASMA / dynamic attribute?
>>>I need to set a command line exec depending on some XSL mapping values.
think about this approach:
you put the XSL values into the filename after the real name of the file
in the batch script you use those values in order to execute a dynamic exe command
after processing you just change the name of the file in the script by removing the xsl values
simple ? I think so

File Receiver Adapter:Run Operating System COmmand after message Processig:

Dear All,
I have gone through this link

But i have a problem.
In the scenario which we have, File name is DYNAMICALLY GENERATED by a UDF
I want to call the file at run time after message processing via Command Line and execute some os commands.
But since the file name is Dynamic....How will i call the file at run time in Command Line:
SYNTAX: %f(FileName)
How will i specify the file name in the above syntax as the file name is Dynamic and not constatnt.
Please Advice.

Sender File Adapter not able to get file via FTP from an external system

Hi,
I have a Sender File Adapter using FTP which polls a server every 10 seconds looking for a file ".xml". The adapter will connect and pick up the waiting file, but sometimes the adapter not able to get file via FTP from an external system. The file is on the server, but despite the polling, the adapter does not pick up it. There is no return error.
The connect mode is Permanently and the transfer mode is Binary.
Can you help me?
Thanks.
T.

Hi Teresa,
does this case appears with a file size higher the others?
Personally, I do not recommend to have a polling under 1min.
10s could be too just, if the file is not small and/or if the file server is far (several kilometers) to where the Adapter Engine is, and/or this file server is beside a firewall. Do not forget also that, with previous points, you could have like a conflict, betwen the 1st polling and the 2nd polling, if in less 10s PI adapter has not enough time: to connect to the FTP server (several Km), find the file (perhaps among 100 other files in the directory), go back to the file to Adapter Engine server (several Km again), convert your file to XML message (with a complex Content Conversion), then check the XML structure, and when all that is done, return back to FTP server (several Km), to archive the source file... Well It's my understanding of a FTP exchange with FILE adapter...
If you really need a 10s polling, that's mean your have a pseudo real time interface. In that case, in my mind file should not be used! but we should use a Web service, JDBC JMS (any exchange without a physical object like a file). For me, it's a non-sens to have a file in that case.

File Adapter and Third party system

Hi,
I am new to XI and implementing a simple scenario.
In SLD- I have 3rd paty software component and product.
3rd party technical system: using my pc - For host name I am using my machine name.
Scenario: Using file adapter transform csv file to xml.
File resides on my machine. I have configured file adapter inbound and outbound. Integration Dir & Rep objects are all activated.
But nothing happens, cannot see any message in Messgae monitoring..
Any help would be great.. Is my technical system setup wrong?
thanks

chk whether the folder in your m/c where the CSV file resides is shared and has appropriate access. Also you need to specify your m/c IP with fwd slashes, e.g) //<Ipaddress>/foldername
configuring your m/c as a Third Party system in SLD is fine.
If you think ur SLD settings are not correct, you can define your file adapter commn. channel in a Business Service(which does not require an SLD entry) and check whether it works.
Thanks

System error when send file with Sender File Adapter

Hi all,
I have configured a "File To ABAP Proxy" scenario. After configuring, i executed a "Test Configuration" in Integration Directory and it's all OK. But this file unable to reach into ABAP Proxy Target. In the Runtime WorkBench\Message Monitoring, I get an error message in below:
Engine: Adapter Engine
Status: *System Error     *
Start: 15.08.2008 14:04:01
End: 15.08.2008 14:19:01
Sender Service: BS_XI_SERVER
Interface Servic: urn://FILE_TO_PROXY
MI_EMPLOYEE_OB
In this case, I don't know why my Sender File Adapter is error and why status is "System Error" and why it can't reach into Target System. Can it concern a role user?
( For more clearly: I configured the source file and the path correctly. And i used the xml file with the content and the document name correctly. In general, the Sender Adapter File don't convert the sender file and its content is same as the Payload in the "Test Configuration", i think it is all OK.)
Could anyone please help me to resolve this problem, anyone can explain this error, how can i resolve this error?
Thanks a lot in advance,
Vinh Vo

Hi Chirag,
1.I source structure is very simple as below:
<ns0:MT_MATERIAL xmlns:ns0="urn://FILE_TO_PROXY">
   <MATERIAL>
      <WERKS>1000</WERKS>
      <MATNR>MAT00001</MATNR>
      <MAKTX>Chemical Material</MAKTX>
   </MATERIAL>
</ns0:MT_MATERIAL>
2. the Communication Channel Monitoring in Runtim WorkBench\Adapter Engine is OK for my Sender File Communication Channel, it's in Blue Light.
However, i don't know what's FCC?
Thanks and best regards,
Vinh Vo

File adapter operating system command exit code

Hello,
If you call an operating system command in the file adapter, how is the exit code of the command handled? The documentation says nothing about this.
If I call 'true', I expect the file adapter to succeed.
If I call 'false', I expect the file adapter to fail.
Hope someone can calrify.
Best regards
/Otto Frost

Hi, Yes, you are rigth, it spawns a subprocess, that runs without control.
In java you use Runtime.exec().
It returns a process.
process.exitValue() returns an int.
The process is already used to terminate the process after timeout I suppose.
You would like to be able to have the fileadapter succeed or fail depending on this exitValue.
Depending on the command you execute, the exit code is different. RTFM on unix.
You would like to define which codes should be treated as success, and which ones that should be treated as failure.
true typically returns 0 and false not 0
However, a comparison command could for example return 0 for equal, -1 if the frist argument is smaller and 1 if the first argument is larger.
For the diff command, Exit status is 0 if inputs are the same, 1 if different, 2 if trouble.
Thanks
/Otto
