Text Content Conversion - File Adapter - Creates empty file

Former Member — Sat, 28 Apr 2007 09:42:57 GMT

I am running XI 7.0.

Mapping from abap proxy to file - text content conversion.

The process works, generates and sends file from mySAP, maps through XI, logs onto ftp site and creates file, but doesn't write any data into the file!

I am really confused as to what is happening!

This is taken from the communication channel!

copy the payload from the SXMB_MONI and test your message mapping with that payload.

hi,

this is starange:)

did you refresh FTP (F5) ?

maybe you're checking wrong ftp server? with the same folders ?

ups - I thought I doens't create any file...

as suggested check your mapping as per my blog:

/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/09/16/xi-how-to-test-your-mapping-in-real-life-scenarios

just use TCODe for abap mapping tests - SXI_MAPPING_TEST

At least I am not the only one logging on at the weekend!

I will test the mapping and see how that goes...

I checked the time and date stamp of the file created and it matches with the throughput! This is driving me crazy! It would be really useful to extend the trace file for the file adapter and reprocess, but no chance of getting onto the O/S!

Is there anywhere in NWA I can check?

This is an interesting development!

10:57:41 Start of test

Document start

Start tag [ns1:xxxxEmployeeFile]

Add raw attribute [ xmlns:ns1="urn:xxx.xxxxx.xxxx.xxxxxxx"]

Close tag [ns1:xxxxEmployeeFile]

Document end

Executed successfully

10:57:42 End of test

And nothing is mapped!!!!! 120kb file!

So you see where the issue is

Hope you're not the one who prepared the mapping

The problem is with the Proxy Program and not XI....

Thanks for your help!

Barry,

Can you check sxmb_moni for this interface. See whether the data is coming as expected into XI or not? If not then might be the problem in Proxy. If it coming and not writing the file then chech the mapping once again with that payload only in the test tab.

HI,

Check the writing permission / authorisation into FTP?

Resolved.

Amended ABAP Proxy and works perfectly!

Thanks for your input!
