Even I checked in sxmb_moni it is saying no msg available and in communication channel Monitoring I am getting error like Configured source directory 'd:\' does not exist.If i give any other path it is giving the samething.

Where are you checking the files?

Go to your Integration directory and see the name of the file system and make sure you are logging into that file system and not your Desktop.

if you are using NFS then it means that the files should be on the XI server itself and not on a local machine. Confirm on this.

in case the files are not on XI server then for test purpose you can install a FTP server on your machine and use it . Ref: the blog i have provided earlier. Note that protocol will be FTP in this case.

See, if you want to use NFS mode then first run transaction AL11 in your XI server to know which directory you want to use. Now copy the directory name from AL11 and paste it into your Sender File CC.

Again use transaction CG3Z in your XI server to upload the test file from your local dirive (D:\) to AL11 directory.

Now you are ready for testing.. it will be good if you set the processing mode as 'Delete' in your Sender CC.

For copying file from local to XI

use TCODE SXDA_TOOLS

objectType : DXPROJECT

programType : BAPI

program :create

select copy button

In that case you can use SXDA_TOOLS tranaction code, and if you don't have authorization for it then ask your BASIS consultant to put the file in your source dir.

Here is the full method to upload the file on XI server..

The porcedure to put a file on server is as shown below:

1. Save your file in your local machine.

2. In XI server, enter the tranaction code "SXDA_TOOLS".

3. In the input screen, enter:
i) Object Type "DXPROJECT".
ii) Program Type "BAPI".
iii) Program "CREATE". 

4. Press Copy (Ctrl+F5) button.

5. Now, you will get another screen in which you will see 3 blocks called as "Source", "Target" and "Copy with/without conversion". 

6. In Source block, choose the radio button "Presentation Server" and then take F4 help to select your source file. (file which you have saved on your local machine)

7. In Target block select the radio button "Application Server", check the box "Remote server" and take F4 help to select your application server.

8. In the same block under "File Type" select "P physical file name" and under "File Name" write the path/directory name which you have mentioned in your communication channel along with the file name.

Example: suppose file name in your Comm Chanel is "demo.xml" and directory path is "/abc/testfiles/XML/", then in step 8 write "/abc/testfiles/XML/demo.xml".

Note: need not to do any thing in 3rd block.

I did the same thing wht u said but we r doing manual know actually it should pick by scenario and post in appls server kadha.

IF I wrong plz excuse but help me out.

hmmm... If you are using NFS then one thing is for sure that the test file must be in XI server dir, so for testing you have to do it manually but at real time your sender system should be able to put the file in XI server dir by using some FTP.

Why don't you go ahead with Vijay's solutions...

BTW, while giving points plz do a fare deal.... don't you think me or other expersts have suggested you right solution...

Hi Raju,

The steps that sarvesh has explained in detail, are the steps to keep your file in the SOURCE Directory.

From there, if your scenario will pick the file and place it in the TARGET File system's target directory.

hi Raju

can u send me this secenario. ??

[Shabarish_Nair]

Are you using a FTP server on your machine?

Ref:

/people/shabarish.vijayakumar/blog/2006/08/01/along-came-a-file-adapter-mr-ftp-and-rest-of-the-gang

Inside the blog refer how to give the path name.

[former_member206760]

path should have this slash----> /

also you have to put your file on the XI server itself and use sender file adapter with NFS
