Testing Outbound Scenario with File Adapter

Testing an Outbound Scenario, This uses File Adapter. I checked Payloads in the Transaction SXMB_MONI in R/3 as well as XI. There was no message for error. So I suppose to get the data downloaded to a directory. The output file is a text file. The file is not getting downloaded. Can any one please help me out to solve this issue? Please let me know if you need any more information.
Transport protocol: FTP.
Message Protocol: File Content Conversion
Adapter Engine: IS

Chcek whether your Receiver Adapter is activated properly.
http://<host>:5<sysnumber>00/mdt/amtServlet XI > SP09
http://<host>:5<sysnumber>00/AdapterFramework <= SP09
If everything is correct, check the message in the Adapter Engine
http://<host>:5<sysnumber>00/MessagingSystem for the receiving message. You will find more information here why the message is failed to deliver to the endpoint.

How to process large input CSV file with File adapter

Hi,
could someone recommend me the right BPEL way to process the large input CSV file (4MB or more with at least 5000 rows) with File Adapter?
My idea is to receive data from file (poll the UX directory for new input file), transform it and then export to one output CSV file (input for other system).
I developed my process that consists of:
- File adapter partnerlink for read data
- Receive activity with checked box to create instance
- Transform activity
- Invoke activity for writing to output CSV.
I tried this with small input file and everything was OK, but now when I try to use the complete input file, the process doesn't start and automatically goes to OFF state in BPEL console.
Could I use the MaxTransactionSize parameter as in DB adapter, should I batch the input file or other way could help me?
Any hint from you? I've to solve this problem till this thursday.
Thanks,
Milan K.

This is a known issue. Martin Kleinman has posted several issues on the forum here, with a similar scenario using ESB. This can only be solved by completely tuning the BPEL application itself, and throwing in big hardware.
Also switching to the latest 10.1.3.3 version of the SOA Suite (assuming you didn't already) will show some improvements.

Problem with FIle Adapter

Hi
We r facing typical problem with file adapter.
Lets say there are 30 files to be processed by placing an copy in arichive folder by file adapter based on pooling
parameters.
All the 30 files are picked up and we can see the copies in archive folder.
But when we go to RWB and check the audit log,
there we could see only 25 files , the 5 files are missing.
no trace found therre about the 5 files.
This is happening only some times and not to all the files placed in the FTP. Later when the same file is placed back from the Archive folder to the Source folder, the file is being picked and processed succesfully.
unfortunately this is happening on Production server
Any pointers which could trouble shoot this issue.

Hi,
Couple of thing which you can try....
1. Use EOIO QoS and check if you still face the issue.
Is some program or application writing files to the directory? If yes I would recommend the use of a temporary name to write the files and then rename them.
Sometimes when an external application connects via FTP and transfers the files...
The file could be picked up by the adapter poll even before the transfer of data is done.
Which is why you will find that the file is archived but there is no xml message created for the same in the Integration engine.
Try increasing the poll interval. This helps sometimes.

Problems with File adapter

Hi All
I am facing some problems with XI system. XI production server was restarted couple of days back. From that time, 1 file is not reaching its destination. When i go to communication channel monitoring, i see this message for all the communication channels with file adapter "No adapter registered for this channel".
But, communication channels with SOAP adapter are working fine, and the corresponding files are reaching its destinations. So, what should i do to rectify this probelm? Do we have to restart XI server onceagain? Is there anything pirticular, to be careful about, while restarting XI system?
Many Thanks in Advance
Chandra Sekhar

Hi Chandra shekar,
Plz try to do the following steps:
1)Try after restarting the Java Stack.
2)Try after SLD cache.
To clear the SLD cache, from the Integration Builder main menu, choose Environment ® Delete Cache for SLD Data.
Once we have deleted the cache for SLD data, accessing objects in the SLD may take longer than usual initially.
This will help you to find SP Level

Please let me know can I at all read a file in byte format with File adapter using a desired encoding style?This is littile urgent.
Thanks

Hi James,
Yeah I tried that too and it gave the same error. And I need to encode with MS932 only since the data will contain Japanese characters and this encoding is identified both by windows and non-windows OS.
Please can you advice what can I do since the requirement is urgent.
Thanks

Performance problems with File Adapter and XI freeze

Hi NetWeaver XI geeks,
We are deploying a XI based product and encounter some huge performance problems. Here after the scenario and the issues:
- NetWeaver XI 2004
- SAP 4.6c
- Outbound Channel
- No mapping used and only the iDocs Adapter is involved in the pipeline processing
- File Adapter
- message file size < 2Ko
We have zeroed down the problem to Idoc adapters performance.
We are using a file channel and every 15 seconds a file in a valid Idoc format is placed in a folder, Idoc adapter picks up the file from this folder and sends it to the SAP R/3 instance.
For few minutes (approx 5 mins) it works (the CPU usage is less then 20% even if processing time seems huge : 5sec/msg) but after this time the application gets blocked and the CPU gets overloaded at 100% (2 processes disp_worker.exe at 50% each).
If we inject several files in the source folder at the same time or if we decrease the time gap (from 15 seconds to 10 seconds) between creation of 2 Idoc files , the process blocks after posting 2-3 docs to SAP R/3.
Could you point us some reasons that could provoke that behavior?
Basically looking for some help in improving performance of the Idoc adapter.
Thanks in advance for your help and regards,
Adalbert

Hi Bhavesh,
Thanks for your suggestions. We will test...
We wonder if the hardware is not the problem of this extremely poor performance.
Our XI server is:
 Windows 2003 Server
 Processors: 2x3GHZ
 RAM: 4GB (the memory do not soak)
The messages are well formed iDocs = single line INVOICES.
Some posts are talking 2000 messages processed in some seconds... whereas we got 5 sec per message.
Tnanks for your help.
Adalbert

Flat File to Flat File Scenario using File Adapter

Hi Experts,
In my scenario, requirement is Flat File to Flat file through File Adapter in PI. At sender end, we would need to use Sender File Adapter (NFS) and receiver end we would need to use Receiver File Adapter (FTP). File would be coming as a encrypted format, and the file needs to be sent in encrypted format.
Any idea how to proceed with this requirement would be helpful.
Thanks and Regards
Soumya

Hi Soumya,
You need to choose the FTP in the "transport protocol" option. Then in the FTP connection parameters choose the option Connection Security and assign the value "FTPS for control and Data Connection". Then the "Command Order" will show up below that option and you could leave the default value itself. If you are using Public private key certificates of X.509 then you could choose the option "Use x.509 certificate for client authentication" and assign the values to the "keystore" and "certificate & private key" fields.
Note: To use the FTP with SSL you need to add the CA certificate to the TrustedCAs keystore view.

Vishnu.

Problem with communication channel on receiver side with file adapter

Hi all,
I m doing a scenario of collection of multiple idocs into a file.When i m testing this scenario,i m getting a flag successfully executed in SXMB_MONI.But,my file isn't created in my directory.When i monitor the communication channel in Runtime workbench,it's showing error :Channel has not been correctly initialized and cannot process messages for my receiver file adapter?I am not able to figure out the error.Anybody having idea about this problem.
Regards,

Hi Anoop
Check it - File adapter is active ? try to Re-activate the same.
Also do CPACache Refresh.
Still problem, tyr out by restarting the Adapter Engine

Performance Problem with File Adapter using FTP Conection

Hi All,
I have a pool of 19 interfaces that send data from R/3 using RFC Adpater, and these interfaces generate 30 TXT files in a target Server. I'm using File Adapters as Receiver Comunication Channel. It's generating a serious perfomance problem. In File Adpater I'm using FTP Conection with Permanently Conection, Somebody knows if PERMANENTLY CONECTION is the cause of performances problem ?
These interfaces will run once a day with total of 600 messages.
We still using a Test Server with few messages.

Hi Regis,
We also faced teh same porblem. Whats happening is that when the FTP session is initiated by the file adapter, then its getting done from teh XI server. Hence the memory of the server is also eaten up. Why dont you give a try by using 'per file transfer'.
If this folder to which you are connecting is within your XI server network then you can mount(or map) that drive to the XI server and use it with a NFS protocol of the file adapter and thereby increasing the performance.
Cheers
JK

Problem with file adapter for delimiter

Hi,
I am working in a file-idoc scenario where i need to read a file with comma delimited body.
Content configuration for the body of the file is as follows,
BODY.fieldNames F1,F2,KEY,F3,F4,F5 where KEY is the key field
BODY.keyFieldValus 01
BODY.fieldSeparator ,
BODY.endSeparator 'nl'
For most of the cases it is working fine.
The record for which this is not working is,
AAA,,01,XXX,FFF,GGG
XI file adapter is ignoring this records.
1) I tried with some option like fieldContentFormatting but this is not working.
2) Most surprisingly if i shift the KEY to left(in place of F2), record is getting picked up properly with SPACE in the tag KEY and '01' in F2.
3) I tried using record like 126126,JJJ,01,,,GGG
Record is picked up with value in F3 and F4 fields are SPACE.
The problem is only with blank between two separator before KEY field.
Is there any other parameter which can solve the problem.
In case any body knows the solution please let me know.
With Regards
Amitesh

By making BODY mandatory with 1 record, i am getting the below given error message in Adapter monitoring...

Issues with File Adapter

Hi!
I am working on File(source.csv)->Xi->File(Target.csv) Scenario.
In my Source File i have 4 fields which are mapped to the target file which contains 2 additional fields with constant values mapped. So, I should get 6 fields at receiver end.
Source structure
CharacterName
Lowerlimit
Upperlimit
Targetvalue
 Target Structure
CharacterName
Lowerlimit
Upperlimit
Targetvalue
Plant (constant value -1000)
Status (Constant value - Released)
But, While using file adapter it showing only 4 fields of my Source file at the receiver end , not the ones which have been mapped with constant values(It is with out Using FCC) .
When i use FCC under File Adapter, XI is not picking the file. These are the parameters I am defining at Sender Adapter:
Document Name : file_rece( Not sure whether it should be similar as of my Msg Type name)
RecordSet Name :Record (not sure abt naming conventions)
Recordset Structure : main,1
In parameters:
main.fieldNames:CharacterName,Lowerlimit,Upperlimit ,Targetvalue
main.fieldSeparator: ,
main.endSeparator : 'nl'
Receiving Adapter:
Recordset Structure : main,1
main.fieldSeparator :,
main,endSeparator : 'nl'
---I gone through some previous posts but cant able to resolve it.

Get file on demand with file adapter?

Hi all.
I need to get a file on demand (System A ask for a file to FTP server system) with FTP adapter. My problem is that FTP receiver adapter allows just uploading but not getting files. And sender file adapter is not valid for "on demand" scenario.
Thanks,
Gari.

Hey
as even u said ,on demand is not available for File,i guess starting from PI 7.1 they are gonna add some enhancements to File adapter to support this,but till then i dont think there is a direct way.
one way around which i think of is u might wanna write a Unix shell script,which will catch this demand and trigger the file to be placed in the specific directory.
u can have two scenario,the first scenario simply sends the demnad for file which will trigger the unix script(use the OS commands option in file adapter for this) and the second scenario will pick this file and send it
thanx

Xml file without namespace with file adapter

Hi,
Please can you assist. We will be receiving a XML file from an application without the namespace in the file.
As I tested thusfar PI requires a namespace as part of the xml file.
How would it be possible to you handle this with the file adapter.
Ex.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<applicatrion>
 <orders>
 <order>
 <action>I</action>
 <orderId>4261A92485</orderId>
 </order>
 </orders>
</application>
Regards
Willie Hugo

Hi Hugo,
Please see if this link could clear some doubts http://www.w3schools.com/XML/xml_namespaces.asp
We generally get an idoc xml in the below format without any issues:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
- <ORDERS05>
- <IDOC BEGIN="1">
- <EDI_DC40 SEGMENT="1">
<TABNAM>EDI_DC40</TABNAM>
<MANDT>510</MANDT>
<DOCNUM>0000000000127051</DOCNUM>

Get additional file attachements with file adapter

Hello,
Has anyone ever had the following situation:
A Sender interface sends a little bit of data to XI.
This data contains the filenames of some files on a FTP server.
Based on these filename the file needs to be retreived from a FTP server and further handled as an attachement of the XI message?
Is it possible to trigger a sender file adapter with a variable directory and filename from XI, in a BPM or Mapping?
Warm Regards,
Leon Boeijen

hi,
>>>>Is it possible to trigger a sender file adapter with a variable directory and filename from XI, in a BPM or Mapping?
no it's not possible to start a file adapter from BPM
you can use a java proxy that will do the trick
we've used a solution like this many times with no big issues
remember that it's better to use an async java proxy
(with correlation) then a sync one...

Thanks & Regards,
Satya

Hi,
I am internally place my file in the PI and pick up the file from PI and posted to end directories
Elaborate that process.
