Adapter Error

[rajan_s]

Does anyone know this error and how to resolve this? This is issue with File Adapter. Please note that I have already tried the following:

1. The file being processed is Ok for data and file structure.

2. Adapter configurations are Ok

3. Adapter is active.

4. The same file with same adapter configuration was tested in Dev & QA environement.

Hi Rajan,

If you are using FTP Transport Protocol, Check all the data required is correct or not.. and next one is just check if you have used any UDF'S in your mapping.

check all those clearly..and run once..

[rajan_s]

I am not using any UDF's. The files were getting picked up from FTP before. I checked the data, there is no issue. Also, I checked the file adapter parameters for processing, it is set to Delete after processing but it is not doing that.

Hi Rajan,

Check out this SAP note- 924721 .. It may help u.

Thanks for the replies but what could be the reason that the files are not getting processed and deleted after processing from FTP folder? The adapter was working fine before without any changes done to the system? The file and folder permissions are set to read,write, execute. If the files are removed from that ftp folder the adapter monitor shows status green, if the files are put back in ftp folder then the adapter monitor goes red again.

Hi,

Then check with Log in the Visual Admin.. Also restart of the Adapter engine may help u.. Hope all connections to the ftp server from the xi box is up and running

Hi Moorthy:

Thanks for the suggestions but restarting the engine did not help, nor found any relevant errors in the log.

Hi,

What is the log in the visual admin during polling of the communication channel ? Nothing ???

Also one more try doing CPACache Refresh also by re-importing the Adapter metadata i.e importing the SAP BASIS Software component..

Just for the testing purpose can you pls. point your <i>DEV sender file adapter</i> ( Source Directory ) to the folder location you are using in <i>PROD sender file adapter</i>.

To me it seems to be the problem with folder permissions, I know you have " read,write, execute " but I faced the same issue & I had the same permissions. But still the error was there.

Pls. test & let me know.

I refreshed the CPA cache several times, also I didn't see any relevant errors in the log. I will try out the ftp folder to other environment and see if it works.

Thanks,

I tried the ftp options and that didn't resolve it either, also the CPA cache refreshed with adapter metadata, that did not help either.

Thanks for the suggestions.

Hi Rajan,

Can you send me the Screen shot of the Communication Channels. Along with that just tell me whether you have used any UDF's in your mapping. If so just send me that function, bcz iam not clear with the description you mentioned..

[Former Member]

Hi Rajan,

Check this..

Hope it helps!

cheers,

Prashanth

Hi Rajan

Can you pls. explain your whole workflow & at what point of time you are getting the error.

Also the payload which you are sending in PROD is it different from DEV & QA, I mean in terms of size.

When a file is being processed in FTP server, XI adapter is supposed to pick up the file and process the file and delete it after processed.

Hi,

Check whethere the java webstart version jsdk is same as in the Dev ,Qty & Prd.

[rajan_s]

The webstart versions are same. This is only affecting one file adapter not all.
