Problem with NFS file adapter using a network share as source of files

[Former Member]

Hello,

I have set up a sender cc with NFS format file adapter, with at the source directory a network share (
server\sharename ). The share is on another system and not mapped to a local drivename, but it is open for everybody.

The problem is, the adapter seems to not pick up the files in the directory, so there must be something I'm overlooking.

- Both servers run on Windows

- Share is available normally and open for everybody for all actions (including the SAPServiceSID user)

- Files themselves are okay. If I put a file on a local drive and make the source directory the local drive instead of the network path, the file gets processed correctly

- Because of the need for a file completion check, FTP is not an option

Does anybody know what is going wrong, or what I could check for trace / logging info on possible cause of the problem?

Hi Rovers

your sender adaptter will pick yhe file from shared location......just make correct use of path of folder...and try to look in adapter monitoring it will show processing start that menas its pinging the location if processing not started that means some parameter is wrong in adapter.

Hi,

While using NFS mode you are supposed to put the file on XI server directory NOT to a common share directory of any other machine. And this is the reason your adapter in not picking the file.

You can upload the file on XI server directory by using the tcode "SXDA_TOOLS", morevere you can check the file on the same directory with tcode "AL11". It is otherway-around, you can first select or chose the dir by AL11 and then put the file in the same dir by tcode SXDA_TOOLS.

If you need more info about SXDA_TOOLS, let me know.

Hi,

Please check the Folder permissions.

if u r scenario may be correct, xi will not picking the file means, it's does n't have folder permissions.

are you able to open that location from your PC and delete the files.

when you activate the fiel adapter,,,,goto the RWBchannel monitoringchoose that file adapter..

if it directory is reachable it will shpow processing started..if it doesnt have enought rights to delete or read the file it will put cannot delete file processing failed.

i think you should cross check the permission for that fodlder for Everyone group of users

Rovers,

Using NFS you can take only files only from your XI BOX and not from any of the shared folders.
