SAP PI Polling blank with NFS Folders.

[Former Member]

Hi Gurus,

We have an inbound scenario. SAP ECC (Proxy) --> SAP PI --> SAP ECC(File).

For this scenario, SAP ECC has created a folder structure in its application server which is visible in AL11 transaction. This folder is mounted with SAP PI server and hence we are able to see the same folder path in AL11 of SAP PI also.

We have created an interface for above mentioned message flow and SAP PI is able to place the file in required folder using NFS configuration in receiver file channel. This we have tested and is successful.

However, we have another interface which is outbound. SAP ECC(File) --> SAP PI --> SAP ECC(Proxy).

We are using same folder path that we used for above inbound interface for picking files. While testing, we observed that SAP PI File sender communication channel is polling blank. Though there are files in the folder path, none are getting picked up by SAP PI.

Please let me know if any configuration needs to be done for successful polling of files.

Thanks.

Hi Uma,

Ping the sender communication channel from communication channel monitoring( RWB ) and check whether the adapter established the connection to the folder which you specified in the communication channel or not?

check the folder and file names in the communication channel.

ask basis team whether your user id, have the access to read the files or not.

i think you may not have the access to this folder.

Hope it will helpful...

Hi Uma,

As Nabendu said check with Basis team whether the folder and file has all Read and write permissions or not.In should be 777.

And also check the File name and folder path given in communication channel correct or not.

Hi Uma,

If File Adapter is polling successfully, then might be the issue is with File permission.

Check the attributes at the Unix level. It should be:

rw--r--r

The last one is Public.

Hi Uma,

As Nabendu said, you have to make sure that the File Permission at unix level should be rw*r**r**. This is equal to 644. But if you want a file with 644 to be processed make sure that Processed Read-Only file are checked.

Otherwise, make sure, the file is having access as 777.

Hi,

>>>. Though there are files in the folder path, none are getting picked up by SAP PI.

either incorrect path or filename in the communication channel's configuration
