File to File scenario

[former_member229310]

Hi,

I have a problem in file to file scenario in which the file is not getting transferred from source to target.

Source communication channel - Transport protocol - NFS | Process mode : Delete | The file is picked but not able to delete from the directory.

Error: File: d:\test\file.txt deleting after processing failed - retry

The file is not transferred to target is it because of this CC is not able to delete the file. Does windows also have any authorization issue if so how should one check the authorization. I have the admin access of my system.

Thanks.

Hi,

I issue is the user permissions or file might be in read only mode. Check it.

I just started PI development too and I had this problem. It has to do with the file permissions. It might be having "read only" but you need "read/write" permissions. Please check with your UNIX team.

Most certainly it looks the user doesnt have authorizations to delete the file in the folder. Please check the authorizations (try deleting the file from OS login using the same id).

Also, post the error message/ CC audit log you are getting in the RWB...

Can you try with the processing mode "Test" and check what errors you are getting.?

[former_member229310]

When I keep processing mode as TEST the file is processed successfully at SENDER CC. But the file doesnt get transferred.

Whereas DELETE mode would give me error saying cannot delete.

Hi ,

I hope you can do in this way.

Go to physical directory of the file -> right click on file and go to properties.

There you will find a security tab.

In that u have to select all the permissions for the user system or Administrator.

now once again run the interface.

So, I hope the problem will be solved.

Thanks,

Siva.

Hi,

You have an authorization problem for that folder. Your user don't have access to remove/delete files from folder. Check permissions and rectify it,

Hi

It is mainly an authorization issue . XI is not authorized to delete the file in that particular folder

Hi,

Firstly, Since the scenario works perfectly while using Test mode, so all your design & configuration are OK.

Now, there can be Two reasons why PI is not able to delete the file and process it (during Delete Mode):

(The Problem will persists if you use Archive Mode also)

Prob 1. The directory is write protected or read only

Prob 2. The file is write protected or read only

Solution:

If Unix System

Soln for Prob 1. - go to the directory structure

for ex: if directory where file is kept is /staging/Interface/PI/Test/inbox/

then go to /staging/Interface/PI/Test/ and give command ls -lrt

It will show the directory names with permisions.

use chmod 777 inbox and the permissions willl be changed ( drwxrwxrwx )

Soln for Prob 2. - Get inside /staging/Interface/PI/Test/inbox/ and give command ls -lrt

if the file does not have authorizations as (-rwxrwxrwx) give chmod 777 <filename> and then give command touch <filename>

If Windows System

Soln for Prob 1. - Goto the directoty and right click on the folder and deselect the Read Only Checkbox.

Soln for Prob 2. - Right Click on the file and deselect the Read Only Checkbox

Try again and the scenario will work surely. Let me know if any issues.

Hi,

When you see the success message with Test mode in sender CC, then you have to check the mapping issues in SXMB_MONI TCODE whether mapping has been successfully executed or not. If there is no error (status with checked flag) then go and check the receiver CC monitoring so that you can identify the exact cause why it is not send to receiver path.

Hi,

It is most likely that in your case, either the file or the directory in which the file is place do not have write permission. So the communication channel is not able to delete the file.

Hope it helps you
