FILE 2 FILE

[Former Member]

Hi,

I created a scenario for file2file when I test it in the Integration Directory using test configuration it executes successfully, but I dont know why it is not picking the file from source directory and create output file target directory. I have the scenario, do I need to deploy the scenario anywhere, I mean I am not able to understand how this message is triggered so that the file will be picked up from the source directory. If any one can help me understand how it will be picked up I will really appreciate that.

Thanks

Pavan

Hi,

Hope you have configured your CC properly.

Goto Runtime Workbench and check Adapter monitoring. See what is the error and rectify it.

Hi,

Where is your source file placed? Which server and folder? Are using NFS or FTP for picking up the file.

Give the full path like
server\folder

In case if it is in different system XI should have access right to that system.

Thanks,

Hi,

I have client i am using sap gui to hit the server. I dont know how to give it permissions to pick the file from my system. Do I have any choice here to make the adapter pick the file from my local system

Thanks

Hi,

You can download some simple FTP server software like "Golden FTP" and install it in your local machine. Configure your communication channels accordingly using FTP. This is one the simplest way to pick up files from ur local pc.

Hi,

First if you are trying to pick the file from XI server, i.e using NFS protocol, then give the path of the file in the Source Directory Name in the Sender Communication Channel. Get help from BASIS team on this to create a folder in XI system , and put your file under that.

Then give \<folderName>\filename in the communication channel. Probably u need get permission to access these folders. It is like accessing a shared drive from the network. So similar permission is required in OS level.

From Local Machine~

Or you can configure FTP as a protocol in the file adapter configuration. FOr this install FTP server in your machine.

Hi Pavan,

Try using CuteFTP if you want your local machine to act as a server. You can download it at

www.cuteftp.com

Hi Pavan,

You have to give a server path, and NOT a local system path. It will not pick up if you give a path such as C:\...

Please give a server path.. for example , such as //10.201.104.55/files

Hi Pavan,

Please check these blogs..

When you activate your file adapter, it polls for files in your source directory and pick them up.:)

Hope I have answered your question.
