File sender channel not picking up file from AL11

[mayank_yadav]

Hi,

I am trying to convert IDoc Flat file to IDoc XML using file sender channel with NFS protocol and

using module SAP_XI_IDOC/IDOCFlatToXmlConvertor and corresponding parameters. But the file is not getting picked up by sender channel,

and therefore converted XML is seen in Moni.Channel is set to test mode.I tried stop & restarting channel.

Please let me know why the channel is unable to pick the file & moni is not showing converted IDoc XML..

Regards,

Mayank

Hi Mayank,

Please check the channel status in CC monitoring.. by using Ping channel option.

It will gives the channel log and connection / binding errors if any..

Also check whether the user which you are using in the file communication channel to connect and access the files have proper authorizations or not?

Make sure the path and format of the path which you have specified in the file communication channel.

Hi Mayank,

Can you please check the size of the fields including control record data in the flat file?

I believe you have created the port which is creating flat file in AL11.Could you please try to create XML file and pick the IDoc XML using sender file adapter and see if it works or not?

Please refer the below link and its corresponding links.I believe the issue with flat file size of fields.

As far as I know, the control record must be 524 bytes.

Try to open the idoc file manually and check, whether it is really only 519 bytes.

Also make sure, that the first line is definetly the control record.

Hi,

Remember to also check your file masking.

Hello Mayank,

Please also have a look to file permissions.

Readable is not enough (also for testmode).

In addition -

When the Adapter Engine hosting the File Adapter service is running under Microsoft Windows, make sure that the share is accessible for the user "SAPService<SID>"

when the Adapter Engine hosting the File Adapter service is running under UNIX, make sure that the SMB share is mounted into the local file system hierarchy and accessible to the "<sid>adm" user

Refer to SAP Note : #821267
