Problem regarding Configuring the File Adapter

[gautam_poddar2]

Hi,

I am making a Flat File to XML File Scenario. I have made all the Necessary developments and the Routings in the Integration Repository and the Integration Directory. The Sender Communication Channel Uses the Message Protocol "File Content Conversion". All the required steps have been done. We have installed the System and also the Basis Team has done the Post Installation Activities.

<b> The Problem is that the "File is not getting picked up". When checking the RWB and henceforth the Adapter Monitoring we see that the File Adapter is disabled and the XI and the BC adapters are green. Previously we were on SP9 and now we are on SP14. The SAP Basis is at 640 and SP9 and the SAP ABAB is on 640 and SP9.</b>

We are also unavailable to see the File Communication Channels that we have created. When the Tcode "sxi_cache is run it is giving an error that Cache not refreshed andon refreshing various times too the Cache is not Refreshed.

Please Suggest us what we should do. Eagerly waiting for a reply and Thanking in Anticipation. Do we need to make some for configurations for that.

Warm Regards

Hi Somnath,

Try doing a Full cache refresh.

Enter http://server name:j2ee port/CPACache/refresh?mode=full in IE

Or, go via ur run time work bench and do the refreshing. Try refreshing the adapter cache also.

Hi Somnath,

If the sender file adapter is up and running and even after that if you find some problem, the first thing you need to do is check if your file has been picked. The easiest way to check the same is to set the mode to DELETE, that is the file gets deleted as soon as it is picked. If your file has not been picked then the reasons for the same could be the following.

- The path that you specified while configuring the sender communication channel would have been wrong.

- While specifying the file name take care as it is case sensitive.

- If you require content conversion then make sure that the parameters entered at the time of configuration are all correct.

Please go thru the following links to get a very clear picture of your requirement.

Also make sure that your content conversion is in sequence wrt Datat Type Sturcture.

Hi,

After activating the File adapter - communication channel in the Directory , is it becomes green (Active)?

Check this...

Also check this Adapter Monitoring Guide-
