FTP Sender Adapter, Empty Archive Files

[Former Member]

Hi,

When I retrieve files using a FTP sender Communication Channel and I checked the Archive check box (including an existing directory), the file is archived but it does not have any content. It is completely empty.

The original file contains data and is processed correctly. The original file is a csv and I use FCC to convert it to XML.

Anybody any suggestions?

Have you tried placing a file into the location using FTP? It help isolate the problem to whether it's with the adapter or the FTP connection.

Hi,

I think it's not the connection because the file is also processed by PI (routing and mapping). The Audit log indicates that everything is performed successful. Als the step copying the file from FTP Directory to the Archive Directory.

Hi,

Just try moving the file from source folder to archive folder using direct ftp operations instead of using adapter...or PI...

Check the result after this and also check the permissions at the archive folder level also...

Hi

This directory is also used for other interfaces and the Receiver Adapter is writing the files correctly into the directory. So I don't think it's somthing with permissions.

I would suggest you to change the location of archive and try it out.

Hi,

Can you show the channel configuration of the FCC and the archiving configured in the File adapter channel?

This will help us to know the scenario which you are trying to perform.

Hi,

Could you check the audit logs in the communication channel, if it is working fine?

Hi,

The audit log states the following concerning the archive

File "File29122009045242.csv" has been successfully deleted on FTP server "a.b.nl" after sending and moving to "/usr/sap/Interfaces/Archive/20091229-170826-642_File29122009045242.csv"

So it should be succesfull.

The file 20091229-170826-642_File29122009045242.csv exists in the directory but it is empty (size = 0)

Try changing file type to binary in the processing section.
