Use temporary file in FTP receiver adapter

Hi guys,
I'm not getting the purpose of "use temporary file" in FTP receiver adapter. Can you describe any situation, where this should be used?
What is the location of this temporary file?
Is it deleted after "normal" file is created?
Thanks a lot,
Olian

> I'm not getting the purpose of "use temporary file" in FTP receiver adapter. Can you describe any situation, where this should be used?
Some times when you create the file on your target dir then if there is another application looking for same file is quite faster to pick the file before it is complety written on target dir then in this situation using temporary file option is very helpful. What it does, it simply creates the file first by using temporary name once all bytes or bits has been transfered then it creates the original name and the temp file get deleted.
> What is the location of this temporary file?
Same location, where your original file is suppose to be written.
> Is it deleted after "normal" file is created?
Yes.

  • When to use "Use Temporary File" in receiver FTP adapter

    Hi Experts,
    I have nerver used "Use Temprary File" as the "Write Mode" in receiver ftp adapter.
    I want to knwo under what kind of requirment we should use this option?
    Thanks in advance.
    Best Regards,

    Hi Aditya
    Usually it's advisable to use "use temporary file" as write mode when you want to avoid your file to be picked up by receiver while PI channel is still writing it.
    Obviously larger the file, more chances you have that this issue could occur.
    If you select the "use temporary file", XI will write the content to a temporary file with another name of your choice and only once writing has finished it will rename it to the actual name setup in the "file name scheme".

  • FTP  receiver adapter does not transfer (STORE) file

    Hello gurus,
    In my scenario I want to transfer files from server X to server Y using FTP.
    To get the files from server-X I use the FTP sender adapter, to put the files on server-Y I user the FTP receiver adapter.
    Getting the file (QoS = EOIO) is not a problem; I see the result is SXM_MONI.
    Putting the file doesn't seem to work; I don't have an error message in SXMB_MONI but the file is not physical stored on server-Y.
    When I monitor server-Y I see that XI connects with the configured user/pwd and even creates the directory when it doesn't exist but the file is not STORED.
    I'm not using the BPE, this is a very simple and basic scenario: what comes in, goes out.
    Can you please advice what might be the cause of the strange behavior?
    Many thanks - Danny

  • Use Temporary File (File Receiver)

    Hi All,
    I have a file format in the file receiver which has a special charecter(#0) that represents the end of the file. but i wanna append more than one message to the same file. if i do so, the content would be added after the end of the file charecter (#0) there by my system which processes these files ignores the content. i think i hav to do something using the option 'Use Temporary File'. but i din't find ample info about it on help.sap.com. Can any one plz throw some light on this?
    Thnx in Advance
    Anil Kumar Veepuri

    Hi Anil,
    The functionality of temporary file is that, the receiver file adapter first collects the data of the file into a temporary file before putting it on the server.
    This is generally use so that ur target system does not read the file when u are writing it on the server.
    Try using File construction mode Append.
    Hope this helps.

  • 'Use Temporary File' in Receiver File channel

    hi all,
    I am facing a strange issue with receiver file channel which I am not sure if somene had already faced. I couldnt find any help from blogs..!
    I have configured the Receiver File channel with Write mode as  'Use Temporary File'  with a temporary file name(say tmp.xml)  scheme and Empty-Message Handling set to 'Write Empty File'
    When the scenario is executed, its so happening that the temporary file of 0 bytes(empty file) is being created as tmp<msgID>.xml before the actual file is being completely written. It is expected that once the Actual file is completely written, the tmp file should be deleted, but here is not the case.Thus causing both the files being present in the target location. This is not happening often though.
    As the receiving application is processing all files from the target direcotry, the file is getting errored out in the target application.
    I think the 'Write Empty File' has nothing to do with this as the option 'Write Empty File' is for empty payloads resulting from the message mapping.
    Please correct me if am wrong and also provide me the inputs on my issue. Am on PI7.0
    thanks in advance,

    Hi Tilak,
    this is real time interface
    real time by using a file... that's a non-sens according to me. You should use a non physical solution (web service, JMS, JDBC, etc...) but a not a file. well... Anyway, you can image that the receiver application schedule the folder every 30s or every 1min, that's almost a real time. Real time is mainly a conceptual view (only synchronous exchange needs really real time). Morevoer, if you really wanted a real time, you should not add a tool like PI (or other) between your source and your target system, the more we have systems, the less it's efficient (in term of delay and response time!).
    Even if we propose that the receiver application should have a condition to its script to avoid picking the tmp*.xml files, after a period of time there would be a chance that the *tmp files may increase in number..
    No ! coz if my theory is good, if your receiver application does not pick-up tmp.xml, that means this file is not currently treated and so PI is authorized to delete it. So no increase of tmp.xml files in this folder.
    Another solution: to create the target file without option "temporary", but to create it in another folder than this one scheduled by your receiver application, and use an OS command AFTER processing, in your receiver CC, which move the created file from the "temp" folder to the target folder.

  • Filename from payload - FTP receiver adapter

    Hello everyone!
    I have a scenario wherein I need to get the value from a field coming from an IDOC and then give that value as the "filename" of the file that is saved in the FTP folder.
    IDOC > XI > FILE
    For example, if /ORDERS05/IDOC/E1EDK02/BELNR = 620000123
    then I want the name of the file to be saved in the FTP folder to be 620000123.xml
    I understand you may use the 'variable substitution' property in the FTP receiver adapter, but subsequent attempts at trying to configure that property have resulted in errors. Can anyone help me out?
    Warm regards,
    Glenn

    do u have recordset name (root message)
    For Ex: If you want to refer to the field which is bold
    below is your variable substuition:
    payload:root,1,e1,1,e2,2
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
    <root>
      <dummy>
         <e1>
            <e2>Data_1</e2>
            <f/>
           <g attr="abc">text</g>
            <e2>Data_2</e2>

         <f/>
         <g attr="abc">text</g>
         <e2 attr="fghij">Example Value</e2>
       </e1>
    </root>
    Similarly
    for your strucutre:
    <MS_MT>
    <order>
          <number>
    the variable substuition would be
    payload:MS_MT,1,order,1,number,1
    you have to give complete XML to arrive to this value.

  • Wrong port in FTP receiver adapter - no errors in message monitoring?

    Hello all
    We're on XI 3.0 SP16 and have created / configured a HTTP XML -> XI -> FTP Server scenario. In the receiver comm. channel (ftp) we had specified a wrong port number and always wondered, why we never got errors in message monitoring. Everything seemed to be processed correctly... but no file arrived on the FTP server (receiver) side!
    After correcting the wrong FTP port number in the receiver FTP comm. channel everything went fine.
    We now encountered a similar problem with a RFC receiver adapter. We're using it in another scenario HTTP XML -> XI -> RFC to SAP R/3 (4.7).
    For some reason it died (red status in adapter monitor) and it was no more possible to do RFC calls from XI to SAP R/3 (normal RFC adapter, NO proxies).
    In XI message monitor everything seemed to be ok but no message arrived till SAP R/3. Nothing in any queue...
    After deactivating and reactivation the RFC receiver comm. channel it worked again BUT ALL PREVIOUSLY SENT messages seem to be lost.
    Is it really the way it works? Does XI integration engine at runtime NOT catch whether or not a RFC or FTP receiver adapter died, thus is not able to tell somewhere in message monitor that a message could not be delivered at all?
    I'm really confused here but hopefully I simply don't understand some easy principles to take into account...
    Our SAP R/3 is on rel. 4.70 with Web AS 6.20. The XI 3.0 plugin is not installed. Do we need to go with server proxies there and use QOS = best effort?!?
    Thanks for some suggestions.
    Best regards,
    Renaud

    Hi Michal
    Thanks... works great for normal XML based messages!
    Now, what if I wanted to pass binary files from one ftp server via BPM to another ftp server in order to enable the transport acknowledgment?
    The files polled from ftp server using the ftp sender adapter are all in binary format (ARJ). No xml data in there. How should the message format look like in BPM for the receiving step? Or: how to make sure not to loose the binary content when passing through BPMs?
    I need this sort of scenario because of the tansport acknowledgment and because I need to have some sort of message splitting (send the binary file over to a second ftp server and additionally send some kind of info message to SAP R/3 regarding thin binary file).
    BTW: in the MessagingSystem/monitor/monitor.jsp I do not see sender / receiver information. Is this normal? It's quite of a bad thing to look inside each message in order to find out what message I'm having in front of me...
    Thanks a lot for your support and patience!
    Kind regards,

  • Unzip file using operating system command in file/ftp receiver adapter

    Hi,
    I'm wonderdering how to unzip a zip-file in the receiver file/ftp adapter. I know it is possible to do it using the 'Operating system command' feature, but somehow the command I use seems to be ignored! (I'm using SP14, unix).
    The command I entered is quite simple: unzip %F (also tried the %f, but i guess it doesn't really matter wich on I use).
    Is it possible that I'm unzipping to another directory than the one i expect? the unzip should be performed to/in the current directory, and assumingly current directory is the one stated in the 'Target Directory', right?
    Hope someone can clearify this issue for me.
    Best regards,
    Daniel

    Hi Daniel,
    It seems to me also, that the files are being unzipped to a different location than what you are expecting. The OS command might getting executed in some default location(i am trying to fnd that out)on the server and not in the target directory of the channel(It seems logical to me)....
    If you have time...pls try this out & see whether this would help...
    Have a shell script written with the following commands in them
    cd <path to target directory>
    unzip $1(filename from the channel)
    and in the OS command in the Channel give....
    <absolute path to the .sh file> %F
    Thanks,

  • Urzent: Delete files in FTP server using FTP receiver adapter

    Hi Experts,
    We are doing 2 asyncronous scenarios. frst scenario should delete existing file and place the request file. Second scenario should pick(delete) response file and delete request file it placed also.
    Scenario 1 : File(NFS) to FTP  (Asynchronous)
    Scenario 2: FTP to NFS  (Asynchronous)
    Scenario 1: (Receiver FTP Adapter )
    step-1: PI has to delete all existing files in FTP server
    step-2: PI has to place Request file in FTP
    Scenario-2: ( Sender FTP Adapter)
    step-1: PI has to Delete request file i FTP server
    Step-2: PI has to pick and delete response file in FTP server
    Doubts:
    How can we do above steps in PI
    Thanks,
    Murali

    Hi Krish - For scenario -1 You have to make use of the OS commands to delete the files on FTP server before placing the request file.
              -> write some script which wil connect to the FTP server and delete the files.
              -> call that script from the file adapter "using execute OS commands" option
    For scenario -2 :
    pick both the files(request and response) and set the processing mode to delete..
    during the receiver determination, process only request files(based on filename/content)

  • Problems with Seeburger FTP Receiver adapter

    Hello,
    I am working on a scenario sending ORDERS05 Idocs to EDI vendors.
    For this i have configured Seeburger Receiver FTP adapter with 2 modules to convert XML-EDI format. Since this is the test, I have pointed Seeburger to local FTP server with following settings
    Hostname <Hostname of our FTP server>
    Port <Port # of our FTP server>
    Host Path/VAN partner id <some local directory of FTP server>
    Payload mode: Maindocument.
    At runtime i received following exception

    Few questions related to this
    1] can we use Seeburger adapter to generate EDI files on local FTP server
    2] If not Seeburger can we use normal File adapter to do the same. I tried the same by configuring BIC module in File adapter so that it would convert XML to EDI format and was hoping file to be generated on FTP server. It generated one line XML file with following text "<info>Converted message locates in a attachment</info>". Any idea how to retreive attachments in File receiver adapter (as far as i know no attachments are supported in File receiver adapter).
    Any idea how to generate EDI files with Seeburger FTP on test server?

  • Configuring a Seeburger FTP Receiver Adapter

    Hello,
    I am trying to build a scenario where SAP ECC 6 sends an invoice to a customer via EDI.
    We are using ECC 6.0 and PI 7.0 and the Generic Seeburger EDI Adapters. The VAN is a GEIS EDISWITCH VAN (Eircom in Ireland).
    I am able to successfully send an IDoc from ECC 6 and into PI where a Seeburger map converts the message to EDI-XML format. I can use a file adapter to create a file in normal EDI format. But I can't get the Seeburger FTP adapter to work with the VAN.
    I have configured the correct IP, port, username and password but I keep getting the following message when the communication channel tries to send the message:
    <h6>Message processing failed. Cause: javax.resource.ResourceException: Fatal exception: com.sap.aii.af.ra.cci.XIRecoverableException: >> Description: com.seeburger.jftp.app.exception.FtpExceptionSoftProcessingError: Unexpected reply: 501-Syntax errors in parameter.    usage: %[recipient id]%[APRF]       where either [recipient] or [APRF] can be omitted.           (to change your current default SEND relationship).           %% (places you in your 'HOME' TR).   &['s'|'single'] ('get' command gets single file).   &['m'|'multiple'] ('get' command gets multiple files). >> </h6>
    The FTP session is expecting a PUT command with the recipient id and APRF as parameters but these are not getting passed. I suspect this is because I am not passing the correct variables to the receiver adapter but I don't know what variables it expects and where they should be specified. And I can't find the answers in the documentation.
    Can anyone shed some light on what I need to do?
    Thanks,
    Ben

    Hi Prateek,
    Thanks for your comments. The channel is set to GEIS(GeMarkIII). There is nowhere to specify a directory or filename. The settings I have used are as follows:

    There is nowhere in the communication channel configuration that allows me to specify the receiver ID or the APRF. The documentation say this is read from the EDI data and the relevant fields are populated.
    Any ideas?

  • Problem whit FTP receiver adapter

    Hello..
    i have a very strange problem.
    I created 2 similar interface Idoc-XI-File (via FTP) whit file content conversion.
    I configured in both cases the comunication channel but only in one case work correctly.
    The second channel create the file but just whit the first field.
    I check all monitor. the configuration is correct (field name and lenght). the messages in adapter monitor is:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
    - <ns0:MT_SPEDI_DESADVUT xmlns:ns0="http://sabaf.it/edi">

    POSITION.fieldFixedLengths      2,10,8,2,2,2,2
    any suggestion?

    Hi.
    If you disable content conversion in ftp receiver...the output is ok? does it contains all required/expected fields? try to disable the file content conversion using the same example data that does not work when FCC is enabled.

    Matias.
