Variable Substitution settings for Receiver File Adapter

Hi All,
I wanna use variables for File Name Sheme in the File Access Parameters.I had used by enclosing the variable names within %. When i wanna substitute values for those variables, it is given in the documentation(help.sap.com) that v need to set the Enable indicator. only after setting the indiactor, v can use the variables and can then enter the values for those variables in a table. but i can't see either the indicator or the table in my editor. how can i provide the values for the variables used in file name scheme/Target Directory. and for ur information,i'm using sp12.
any help wud b appreciated.
thnx
Anil

Dynamic File Name for Receiver File Adapter

Hi All,
How can we use dynamic name for Receiver file adapter?
Can anyone help.
Thanks in Advance
Chemmanz

Hi Chemmanz,
The dynamic filename generation concept is as follows.
In your filename field. just give a variable with % symbols. (eg: %file% ).
Now, under the option Variable Name Substitution, you can give how the value has to be created.
It can be your interface name, sender service name, etc or it can be some value dynamically from your payload.
For the former, your give
message:interface_name ,etc
and for the payload part you give,
Payload: "your element root which u wanna acecss"
Just check this link out,
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/bc/bb79d6061007419a081e58cbeaaf28/content.htm
And read the contents under variable substitution and it will help you understand the concepts better.
If you have any clarifications, do get back,

OS Command for receiver file adapter

Hi Guys,
I have a requirement that in the target folder before putting the file, I have to rename the exisitng file then put the file. The target folder is in another machine and I have to use FTP option to send file.
is it possible to use OS command after processing option in the receiver file adapter to do this? please let me know how to handle this.
Thanks
Mukesh

Mukesh,
You cannot rename the file in the FTP folder. What you can do is write a OS script where it logs in into the FTP site and renames the file. Then use this OS script before message processing so that it renames the file before you write the actual file.
If you want to rename a file which is on the applicaiton server using NFS then you can directly rename it from the command prompt.

Attachments for receiver file adapter

Hello gurus,
I think receiver file adapter does not support attachments. But I do have a scenario where I receive additional files as SOAP payloads accompanying the request message and I have to write them to a network directory. How can I achieve this?

XML Format not poper For receiver File Adapter

I am using XML File to xML File scenario. My receiver is SAP R/3 system. When I send file from another system, It is properly seen in payload but the file is not properly recived on SAP R/3. The XML File appears on single line and when seen on SAP side side the fileis cut after some length. Any help is appreciated.

hi,
>>>The XML File appears on single line and when seen on SAP side side the fileis cut after some length. Any help is appreciated.
it's probably not the XML file file that is corrupter but the way you view the file
do you open it from AL11? if so it does not show the whole file
PI/XI does not cut XML files for sure

REG: Acknowledgement for receiver file adapter

Hi All,
I have a scenario where i need to make a rfc call to update SAP table after the file is placed in the target folder. Can this be acheived without using BPM.

Hi Siva,
I think this cannot be achieved without BPM. You need to go ahead with BPM.

Encoding issue in receiver file adapter

Hi experts,
I am having a file to file scenario using integrated configuration where i am using file encoding 'US-ASCII' for converting the target file to ASCII and its not working.
Is there any other settings need to be done in the receiver file adapter to convert to 'ASCII' encoding format?
Do we have any other method to convert to 'ASCII' format for the receiver file?
.txt file is used for this interface.
Thanks!

Hi Mahakrishnan,
What is the format of file mentioned in sender file adapter? If SAP-PI is receiving File format in US-ASCII. Then mention US-ASCII in sender communication channel in file encoding field,file type will be text. In case the file format received by SAP-PI is normal text file then by default sender adapter will convert it to UTF-8. Maintain the file type=text and encoding=US-ASCII for receiver file adapter also.
ASCII is an alias for US-ASCII file encoding, hence both mean the same encoding. Thus this format should work. If its still not working please refer to SAP note 821267.

in file receivere adapter i have try this but it dos not work
payload:SD01_E,1,FileName,1
Error:com.sap.engine.lib.xml.parser.ParserException: XMLParser: No data allowed here: (hex) 0(:main:, row:1, col:0)
is there any way to have access to Filename in different root elements??

Hi Ralf,
i think, you need for each XML msg (each different root element) a new adapter -> a new IF determination, new rec agreement and a new channel.

Receiver File adapter content conversion using StrictXml2PlainBean

Hi All,
For receiver file adapter i am using the module StrictXml2PlainBean, and also i mentioned the module configuration like this
parameter name parameter value

My actual structure is

Receiver File Adapter with File content Conversion

I have a requirement to send 2 different files to the target directory. Source is the same and different mapping for the 2 files.
This I can achieve through multi-mapping but there is a problem. How can I use the File content for receiver File adapter which is using Multimapping.
The structure of the 2 files also different.

Why would you need FCC on receiver file adapter? If you need different files to be generated from the source, you could create two receiver channels with different mappings and just add them to the same Receiver Detemination. Isn't feasible?

Scheduling Receiver File Adapter

Hi All,
I would like to know if "Planning Availability Times" works for receiver file adapter (communication channel).
My scenario is IDoc to file. The IDoc from SAP end might be sent to XI at anytime but XI has to create the target file at a specific time on a day (say 9 pm). I'm just wondering if I can use "Planning Availability Times" to schedule the receiver cc.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Joe.

Sender_interface_name in Variable Substitution in Receiver File Adapter CC

Hi,
as per this page : http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/bc/bb79d6061007419a081e58cbeaaf28/frameset.htm
it says:
Variable Substitution (Target Directory/File Name Scheme)
If you set the Enable indicator, you can enter variables for the Target Directory and File Name Scheme. Enter the names of the variables and references in the table.
●      Enter each variable that you reference in the Target Directory and File Name Scheme fields without the surrounding percentage sign under Name of Variables in the table.
The variables can refer to attributes of the message header or elements of the message payload.
○       If the variables are to refer to an attribute of the message header, add the prefix message: to the name of the variable under Reference. You can specify the following attributes of the message header:
sender_party, sender_service, receiver_party, receiver_service, interface_name, interface_namespace, message_id, message_id_hex
Can we not access sender_interface_name and sender_interface_namespace are not mentioned in above list of variables.
Is it not possible to access sender_interface_name or sender_interface_namespace as variable substitute parameters from within Receiver File Adapter Communication channel.
thanks.

Yes, i can hardcode, thats not a bad idea, i need to create then 3 different Reciever File Communication Channel objects, as I am dealing with 3 scenarios for which sender system and sender interface is different.

yes in this link you provided i can see..
INTERFACE     Interface
INTERFACE_NAMESPACE     InterfaceNamespace
SENDER_SERVICE     SenderService
RECEIVER_SERVICE ReceiverService
RECEIVER_NAME     ReceiverName
RECEIVER_NAMESPACE     ReceiverNamespace
it seems both INTERFACE (,INTERFACE_NAMESPACE) and RECEIVER_NAME(,RECEIVER_NAMESPACE) are present, may be one is for sender, and another is for receiver.. may be if i use dynamic configuration, possibly my issue would be addressed.. correct me if i am wrong.
thanks.

Receiver file adapter settings

Hi,
I have a scenario in which I need to generate a file in tab delimited format. But in the receiver file adapter configuration we have only text/binary file creation mode. By setting the File Type in TEXT mode will I be able to do a tab de-limited file?? Or is there any other configuration settings need to be done?
-Ken

Hi Amanda,
Thank you so much for the great info. I think I can find some stuff but still it would be helpful if you could forward the doc to [email protected] Also, yeah it looks like the receiving file format would be complex with header and footer. In the content conversion can we specify header and footer?? or is there any other way to define...FYI my source file also contains header and footer..I am just a little confused on how to set up the message types for mapping...
Many thanks..

Configuring Receiver File Adapter for J2SE

Hi All,
I have a scenario in which i need to convert the IDOC data into a fixed length file.
I did mapping according to the output structure of the file.
My Output file format is as follows...
Document1 document2 document3 etc
Each document contains different fields with different lengths
In XI-FIle adapter we give Recordset structure : Document1,Document2,Document3.
But while configuring Receiver File adapter in J2SE.
There is no option mentioned in J2SE Adapter.
http://saphelp.border-states.com/EN/95/bb623c6369f454e10000000a114084/content.htm
Please throw some light on the same.
Thank You
Regards,
Reehan

as far as i read the document, what i understood is that the J2SE adapter has a limitation.
your XML structure should be as mention in the link;
To convert a table in XML format to pure text format, the document format must be the same as that which is generated by the sender file/FTP adapter in mode FILE2XMBWITHROWCONVERSION (with the default value <row> for the structure) and the sender JDBC adapter. This means that the document structure looks like this:
<resultset>
<row>
<column-name1>column-value</column-name1>
<column-name2>column-value</column-name2>
<column-name3>column-value</column-name3>
</row>
<row>
<column-name1>column-value</column-name1>
<column-name2>column-value</column-name2>
<column-name3>column-value</column-name3>
</row>
</resultset>
This is an example for 3 columns and 2 lines. The number of lines and columns is, of course, unlimited. The XML elements in italics can be defined by the user and the elements of a line must be grouped within an element of type <row> </row>.
So cannot take the recordset structure as we have for the normal File adapter.
