How to Create a Flat File using FTP/File Adapter

Can any body done workaround on creating the Flat file using FTP/File Adapter?.
I need to create a simple FlatFile either using of delimiter/Fixed length. using the above said adapters we can create XML file, i tried concatinating all the values into a single String and writing into a file, but it does not have proper structure
Can any body help me out on this..
Thanks
Ram

You can create a text schema while creating a File Adapter. If schema is specified for File Adapter, it takes care of converting XML into fixed length or delimited format.
Thanks,

How to create a inputstream without using the file operation

Hi friends
In my application, I have to create a Streamsource object using the below constructor:
public StreamSource(InputStream inputStream)
    Construct a StreamSource from a byte stream. Normally, a stream should be used rather than a reader, so the XML parser can resolve character encoding specified by the XML declaration.
    If this constructor is used to process a stylesheet, normally setSystemId should also be called, so that relative URI references can be resolved.
Parameters:
    inputStream - A valid InputStream reference to an XML stream.*[http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/javax/xml/transform/stream/StreamSource.html#StreamSource(java.io.InputStream) |http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/javax/xml/transform/stream/StreamSource.html#StreamSource(java.io.InputStream) ]*
But for creating the inputstream, i am creating a tempory file, ie I am using fileinputstream.
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.StringReader;
import javax.xml.transform.Source;
import javax.xml.transform.Transformer;

import javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamSource;
public class SourceConvertor
    private static Source convertStaxToStream(Source request)
// here the argument to this method is StaxSource and the return type is StreamSource
        TransformerFactory factory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
        Transformer transformer = null;
        File fp = null;
        FileInputStream fInp = null;
        try
            transformer = factory.newTransformer();
            fp = new File("tempFile.txt");
            transformer.transform(request, new StreamResult(fp));
            fInp = new FileInputStream(fp);
        } catch (Exception e)
            e.printStackTrace();
        return new StreamSource(fInp);
    public static void main(String args[])
        try
            String message ="<author><name>Rai</name><book>GodOfSmallThings</book></author>";
            Source original = new StreamSource(new StringReader(message));
            Source converted = convertStaxToStream(original);
            TransformerFactory factory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
            Transformer transformer = factory.newTransformer();
            transformer.transform(converted, new StreamResult(System.out));
        catch (Exception e)
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
This is not at all a good aproach because evey time it is creating a new file.
So can anyone suggest a better aproach or idea or a simple code snippet so that i can create the inputstream without creating a temporary file.
Thanks in advance:

Err, a StreamSource is a Source. Check the Javadoc. You can pass it directly to the transform.

Getting remote file using FTP Server Issue in OSB

Hi Guys,
I have configured a FTP server on my local system and I created a proxy service to get file from ftp location to some other location but it fails . I used ftp protocol for getting file
and my ftp location is D:\host\ftp and it has another folder called osb . I used ftp as protocol and EndPointURI is ftp://localhost/. It fails to get files and shows error message like
com.bea.wli.sb.transports.TransportException: <user:osb>Unable to list files for
directory: .
at com.bea.wli.sb.transports.ftp.connector.FTPWorkPartitioningAgent.exec
ute(FTPWorkPartitioningAgent.java:218)
In case of Business Service, writing a file to ftp location (i.e ftp://localhost/ means D:\host\ftp\osb) working.
I used service account for both proxy,BS to connect . osb is username and same as password.
Can Any one please suggest me How to solve this issue?
Thanks,
Srinivas.

Error while reading raw file created in previous task using raw file destination

I am reading a flat file and creating an raw file using raw file destination. path of the raw file is in a variable. now I am reading the raw file using the rawfile source component. I am able to execute if the .raw file is available. But
when we deploy into the production the .raw will be created runtime, so the package is getting failed while evualting the variable which hold the path of the variable. since the .raw is not available i am not able to proceed further. it's in ssis 2008
r2
Error at Load Data [Raw File Source [401]]: File "c:\test123.raw" cannot be opened for reading. Error may occur when there are no privileges or the file is not found. Exact cause is reported in previous error message.
Error at Load Data [SSIS.Pipeline]: component "Raw File Source" (401) failed validation and returned error code 0x80004005.
Error at Load Data [SSIS.Pipeline]: One or more component failed validation.
Error at Load Data : There were errors during task validation.

I am also using a raw file destination using a variable.
I have set DelayValidation = true on both the DataFlow task and even the Sequence Container.
I get the same error when I run the entire ssis package, however
when I run the individual container or individual task it runs without an error.
Also, something interesting is the error is not the same path as the variable name.
Warning: The system cannot find the file specified.
Error: File "C:\Users\MyName\AppData\Local\Temp\GUIDNumber\\RawFileName" cannot be opened for reading. Error may occur when there are no privileges or the file is not found. Exact cause is reported in previous error message.
The variable is "C:\Temp\ProjectName\RawFileName"
I have other RawFile sources in this same project, but only this one file is giving me grief.
Any other suggestions? Is this a bug?
Have you set an expression for connection string property of raw file? Is it based on variable/expression or configuration? If yes, check the value of variable/ expression or configuraton item at runtime by putting a breakpoint in the pre execute event of task
and make sure path value its getting is correct. It may be that path is getting a different value at runtime due to expression/configuration set for it.
Please Mark This As Answer if it helps to solve the issue Visakh ---------------------------- http://visakhm.blogspot.com/ https://www.facebook.com/VmBlogs

Use temporary file in FTP receiver adapter

Hi guys,
I'm not getting the purpose of "use temporary file" in FTP receiver adapter. Can you describe any situation, where this should be used?
What is the location of this temporary file?
Is it deleted after "normal" file is created?
Thanks a lot,
Olian

> I'm not getting the purpose of "use temporary file" in FTP receiver adapter. Can you describe any situation, where this should be used?
Some times when you create the file on your target dir then if there is another application looking for same file is quite faster to pick the file before it is complety written on target dir then in this situation using temporary file option is very helpful. What it does, it simply creates the file first by using temporary name once all bytes or bits has been transfered then it creates the original name and the temp file get deleted.
> What is the location of this temporary file?
Same location, where your original file is suppose to be written.
> Is it deleted after "normal" file is created?
Yes.

Sarvesh

How to create OEMS JMS In-Memory and File-Based Persistence?

Anyone knows how to create OEMS JMS In-Memory and File-Based Persistence? Any help it is appreciated. I m working with Oracle BAM 11g TP4 and I want to test the capability of connecting directly to a JMS queue, and reading Oracle´s "complex" documentation I couldnt find the right way to make this happen.
tks

Hi Mario
This is explained in the soa developer's guide. Chapter 43 "Enterprise message source"should help you. You will find how to connect OEMS or JMS in-memory/file based to your BAM data objects with or without xpath transformation.
You can find sample of advanced XML formating in the 10g tech note: "Oracle BAM 10.1.3 configuration for BPEL 10.1.2 using JMS sensors" (useful even if you don't plan to use BPEL).
Anyway, if you plan to use BPEL, forget JMS and use the BAM adapter (chapter 42), it's quicker & easier.
