File Adapter Source Directory

[Former Member]

I have set up a File Adapter comms channel that should be picking up a file from the XI SAP system directory path F:\usr\sap\temp.

I place a file in that directory and can see it via SAP transx AL11.

However my comms channel is not picking up the file so my process does not start. I had previously been using a FTP File Adapter and that was working fine. So I know my other configuration is correct. I now needed to testing something use just the plain File Adapter.

The RunTime Cache has been refreshed and I can see my CC via SXI_CACHE.

Here is what I have entered into the File Sender Adapter

Transport Protocol : File

Message Protocol : File

Adapter Engine : Integration Server

Source directory : F:\usr\sap\temp

File Name : MYFILE.XML

Processing Options :

QAS : EO

Poll Interval 60s

Processing Mode : Delete

Processing Seq : By Name

File Type : Binary

Adapter Status : ACTIVE

Hi

check the following things

first select ur message protocol as "NFS". save the changes and activate the channel.

if still not work go to the communication channel monitoring using the path

runtime work bench->compnent monitoring->dispaly->adapter ebngine->communication channel monitoring--->enter ur channel name and click on use filer button.

and check whether the channel is started or stopped.

if stopped start the channel and the try.

if u still face the problem please reply me back.

Thanks

you have set up your File Adapter correctly - except that you need forward slashes in the path source directory

F:/usr/sap/temp and also ensure that your file name is in upper case with the extension that might also be why.

that fully worked. ..Even though the comms channel was green.

Thanks to Praveen too - sorry I did not see your reply in time.

hi,

In FTP You can able to maintain server name under FTP connnection parameters...

But in file system you should be give the source directory

<server name or server ip Address>\usr\sap\temp

Like .....

Hi,

Use
usr\sap\temp instead of F:\usr\sap\temp in Source DIR

usr\sap\temp
