XI file adapter polling faster than poll interval

Hi,
We are facing a issue with the file adapter/authorization of the FTPUSER.
We FTP a server and pick up a file from a particular folder.
My polling interval is 2 minutes
My retry interval is space.
Processing mode : ARCHIVE
We are archiving it on a Network attached server(NAS) mounted on our XI server.
When XI polls for the first time it picks up the file but the sender file adapter shows following error in RWB.
<b>2006-01-20 11:31:08 GMT: Error: Deleting of file 'ARUCSjnewb80.txt' failed - cannot proceed: FTPEx: ARUCSjnewb80.txt: Access is denied.</b>
The picked up file gets processed but at the same time just within 12-13 seconds of the first poll XI picks up the file second time and then in another 3 seconds for the third time.
After this the file gets archived thrice in the archive directory and then gets deleted from the source directory.
We are unable to understand why XI is polling again after few seconds of the first poll.(As per my understanding it should have polled after 2 minutes).
I am able to delete the file manually from the Ftp server.
Could anyone give a pointer towards what we are missing or what probable reasons could be?
authorization issue?( XIADM /ftpuser have full authorization)
Some adapter setting?
Regards,
Sulakshana

Hi,
Could you let me know how frequent the file gets loaded to the FTP server.
Is your file size too large to get loaded.. If so try to increase the polling interval. Also make sure that you have provided the polling time in sec and not in minutes...i.e for 2 minutes it should have been specified as 120 sec as polling interval

File Adapter - FTP Error

Hi,
I have a Sender File Adapter using FTP which polls a server every 60 seconds looking for a file. Intermittently the adapter will connect and pick up the waiting file. However, more often than not it gives an error:
An error occurred while connecting to the FTP server 'xx.xx.xx.xxx:21'. The FTP server returned the following error message: 'com.sap.aii.adapter.file.ftp.FTPEx: 426 Unexpected reply codeConnection closed; transfer aborted.'. For details, contact your FTP server vendor.
The connect mode is Permanently and the transfer mode is Binary.
Any ideas ?

Monica,
Can you explain the difference between ACTIVE and PASSIVE and why changing to ACTIVE may get rid of this issue ? Have looked at the help.sap.com and it doesn't give too much detail on these settings.
Thanks

Sener file adapter has read/pick the files first in first out method.

HI
In my Interface I am Using Sender as File adapter. As per my requirement Sender file adapter has to read the file from file directory. This directory having 1000u2019s of files with some files are same name (time stamp is different) and some files are different name here file adapter has to pick the file with mentioned name in File sender adapter like ZMPSMSGSTATUSMST-.xml .
But source file name is like <TABLENAME>-<TIME_STAMP>.XML (ZMPSWRKFLOWHIST-20090527-150522-628) in file directory.
The file adapter in XI will poll to this directory and picks the file in first- in first-out by sorting according to timestamp.
To do this configuration what I have to do in sender file adapter please give me your valuable inputs.

HI Abhi,
Thank you for your spot replay.
I tested now but i am geting below error.
Putting message into send queue failed, due to: com.sap.aii.af.ra.ms.api.DuplicateMessageException: Message ID f4ca4f86-9c5d-4bdd-1fb1-a6bd7cda99a8(OUTBOUND) already exists in database: com.sap.sql.DuplicateKeyException: [NWMss][SQLServer JDBC Driver][SQLServer]Violation of PRIMARY KEY constraint 'PK__XI_AF_MSG__491A1D0B'.

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.

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.

Polling interval in file adapter.

Hi,
I have a doubt regarding the file adapter polling interval.
Suppose we get a file of size 512 MB and PI file adapter taking long time (say 15 Min) to process it, we have a polling interval of 10 min.
I have a 2 doubt in this case.
1. what will happen in the next polling interval. because the older file still is in process and it is still in the source folder location.
2. if at the same time there is new file get places in same folder location. then how the file adapter behave in this case. Is it start picking the second file or again poll the incomplete file.
I want to know that is PI maintaining some lock while processing some file from source folder.
regards,
Navneet

Hi,
I guess normally it should process both files, earlier one which is in process and the new one as well (it depends your selection string in file name scheme).
Also refer thsi Wiki to help in avoiding duplicate file processing:

Sender File Adapter always "Polling interval started" without complete

Hi,
I have problem with sender file adapter suddenlty the status from Communication Channel Log monitoring always with polling started without completed.
4/25/11 11:40:33 AM   Polling interval started. Length: 10.0 seconds
4/25/11 11:40:23 AM   Polling interval started. Length: 10.0 seconds

4/25/11 11:40:03 AM   Polling interval started. Length: 10.0 seconds
Normal :

4/25/11 11:41:40 AM   Processing finished successfully
4/25/11 11:41:40 AM   Processing started
I have tried to stop and start the channel but still no luck. This problem only happen for this particular communication channel others channel is working fine.
Please advise other solution before i need to restart the java engine since this in the production environment. The problem is some of the process was delayed because this issue. CC was delayed to pickup the file.
Thank You in advance.

Hi Abhistek,
Thank you for your correction. It was typo.
Which assumption is correct ?
1. All 3 instance running together in the same time ? or
2. Either 1 of the instance running once time manage by clustering setting.
Example :
15:01:00   ---> A
15:02:00 -
> A
15:03:00 -
> B
15:04:00   -
> B
Currently :
15:01:00   -
> A
15:01:00   -
> B (lock)
15:02:00 -
> A
15:02:00 -
> B (lock)
It seems all 3 instance lose control from clustering ?

Sender File Adapter - Restrict number of file polled at each poll interval

Hi all,
PI 7.0 SPS16.
We would like to know whether it is possible to configure a sender file adapter (file conversion mode) in order to restrain the number of file taken at each poll interval and if yes how ?
Thanks for your future answers.
Jean-Charles

Hi Jean
Standard adapter do not provide functionality to take an input like number of files to be taken at poll interval. But using adapter module you can achieve this.
SAP PI is having the function to set poll timings and scheduling. You can write adapter module and execute this module using File adapter type communication channel before the standard bean and you can restrict the number of files.
Check the link given above as well as this How to Guide

Poll interval for sender file adapter.

I have a 1_sender file NFS file adapter which picks a trigger file from X location in PI application server, this trigger file initiates the unix script present in the sender file adapter.
Unix script brings all the file which starts with 25588* from bank FTP and places in Y location in PI application server then script deletes the "trigger file".
another NFS File adapter 1_receiver file adapter places the trigger file in the X location of PI.
for 1_sender file poll interval given as 86400, that means it should trigger only once a day @ 1:30pm.
But today same sender file adapter had triggered 4 times, could any one let me know the reason why it had triggered 4 times instead of single time.

Vidya,
There are two things :-
1. The polling interval should be 24 hrs;
2. The polling interval should be 24 hrs and it should poll at 1:30 pm every day.
For any reason if the channel is re-started, then with your present configuration, you will never be able to achieve # 2.
So, better use ATP.
But today same sender file adapter had triggered 4 times, could any one let me know the reason why it had triggered 4 times instead of single time.
Might be the connection dropped / failed at the time of polling and the channel re-tried. If you give more details (what time and with how much interval it triggered), someone might be able to help.

Neetesh

File adapter not reading (not starting polling interval)

Hello,
I've got one communication channel trying to read a file each 10 seconds.
The file adapter is configured correctly and the channel is started but sometimes it stops the polling interval process and I don't know why.
For example the channel was working fine until Friday but with no reason it stopped to attempt to read the file on the directory... what can it be?
And another question. What's the difference about communication channel with "Automatic control" or "Started" manually?

Hi,
And another question. What's the difference about communication channel with "Automatic control" or "Started" manually?
Whenever you create new communication channel in Integration directory and activate it,its status in control data is Automatically and whenever you change it in RWB (Stop/Start) its status changes to Mannually.
Thanks!

Maximum Polling Interval in File Adapter

Hi,
Can you please let me know what can we set as the maximum polling interval in the Sender File adapter?
I have a scenario where I am setting the File Adapter polling interval as 7884000 secs. i.e.2190 hr= approx 3 months.
But the file adapter is polling at very short intervals.
Any help on this would be appreciated.
Regards,
Sampada

You need to configure the polling settings so that the system does not become overloaded, but at the same time, in a way that end users do not notice a major decrease in performance over time. Keep in mind that the greater the polling interval, the less frequently users will receive updates.

Why cant poll a file more than once using File Adapter..

Hi All,
When we run webservice, as I am using File Adapter to read/write the file information.
Usually, File Adapter reads once every file and it wont read again the same file whcih already red.
Where and How this status maintained by File Adapter/BPEL in the system.
Where this will be avvailable and why cant File Adapter read/poll the same file.
Pls can any one of you share your ideas on the same.
Thanks.

Hi,
Tried to get some information around where ftp adapter stores the timestamp but couldnt find anything useful.
But we have a table for File adapter which captures the processing information (FILEADAPTER_IN )
I dont have the setup for FTP adapter to run an example. If you could try the below we can clarify that the timestamp is not stored in memory.
Configure as usual for a folder with a file pattern for FTP adapter.
Drop a file to process it and then restart the SOA Suite and try to drop the same file with same timestamp to see wheather FTP adapter picks up or not.
Ideally i feel once you restart the SOA Suite it should pick up the file, if still not picks up the file for second time then we need to dig indepth to see where this information is stored.
btw what is your usecase ?
Thanks,
Vijay

File adapter polling frequency is not consistent in SOA 10g!

Friends,
I have used file adapter for polling files in a service in SOA 10G env. with polling frequency 3600 secs. However, i have noticed file polling is not happening at 60 mins interval, instead some times files getting polled in less than 30 mins but again after sometime its polling correctly in 60 mins interval. I am not sure what could be the reason but i need a solution urgently. Please help!

Could be the managed servers in the cluster are not in sync.
I faced DB JCA adapter sync issues because of Oracle soa suite bug.
You could check whether any sync issues are there with File adapters.

Restricting polling in sender file adapter

Hi friends,
I have a requirement where I need to poll a file from an FTP server. But, if the file is being edited (some other application is writing to it) I need to avoid picking that file. Plz tell me how i can achieve this...waiting for ur replies.
Regards,
Shilpa

Shilpa,
Check out this sap note :
[https://websmp230.sap-ag.de/sap(bD1kZSZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/sapnotes/index2.htm?numm=821267|https://websmp230.sap-ag.de/sap(bD1kZSZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/sapnotes/index2.htm?numm=821267]
File Locking / Incomplete Processing
Q: I sometimes observe that files are processed only partially, i.e., only a fragment from the file's start is converted into an XI message. Nevertheless, the file is usually archived completely. Does the File Sender Adapter honor if another process has locked a file for exclusive use?
A: Unfortunately, the J2EE 1.3 technology the File Adapter is built upon does not support file locking. This limitation affects the File Adapter's operation. Depending on whether the JRE implementation for the operating system under which the adapter runs uses mandatory file locking or advisory file locking, opening a file that is currently being written to by another process will fail or not.
If opening the file fails, no problem exists and the adapter will try to open the file each poll interval until it succeeds.
However, if opening the file is not prevented by the operating system, the adapter starts to process the file although it is still being modified. Since XI 3.0 SP11 / PI 7.0 there is a parameter named "Msecs to Wait Before Modification Check" in the advanced settings of the File Sender channel configuration to work around this issue. This setting causes the File Adapter to wait a certain time after reading, but before sending a file to the Adapter Engine. If the file has been modified (which is basically determined by comparing the size of the read data with the current file size of the input file) after the configured interval has elapsed, the adapter aborts the processing of the file and tries to process the file again after the retry interval has elapsed.
If this option is not available for the settings you would like to use, the following algorithm (to be implemented in your application) may be used to ensure that the File Adapter only processes completely written files:
Create the file using an extension, which does not get processed by the File Adapter, e.g., ".tmp"
Write the file content
Rename the file to its final name, so the File Adapter will notice its existence and pick it up
Hope this will help.
Thanks,
Nilesh

FTP/File adapter issue (polling one file at a time)

Hi,
I have come across an interesting scenario. I have a folder in which many files are placed at once (around 20+).
In my adapter I need such a logic that whenever file adapter polls the directory, it should only pick one file, wait for the specified time (in PollingFrequency interval or maybe some other way) and then poll the next file. Right now it polls all the files in one go.
Is there any property that I can use or any other logic that can help me achieve this?
Thanks.

Hi, You can use MaxRaiseSize property. Set its value to 1.

File adapter polls before the processing is finished in R3

Hi,
Polling in sender file adapter is set as 4 secs. The problem arises when more than one files with same Service Order number are uploaded and the corresponding IDOCs are simultaneously received in R3 system. As one IDOC is already processing the Service Order, the other IDOC fails as the Service Order is already being processed.
Kindly suggest if there is a way to resolve this issue.

Pravesh
