List files using file adapter in 10G

Hi',
How can we list the files using File/FTP adapter in SOA 10G.
My requirement is to get details like name of file and the timestamp.
Please advice.
Thanks
Yatan

Yatan,
I used in the past a javaEmbedded activity which uses a shell script to list and get all the needed data from a directory.
(I found it the easiest and faster way to do it)

"encoding = UTF-8" missing while writing XML file using file Adapter

Hi,
We are facing an unique problem writing xml file using file adapter. The file is coming without the encoding part in the header of xml. An excerpt of the file that is getting generated:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<customerSet>
<user>
<externalID>51017</externalID>
<userInfo>
<employeeID>51017</employeeID>
<employeeType>Contractor</employeeType>
<userName/>
<firstName>Gail</firstName>
<lastName>Mikasa</lastName>
<email>[email protected]</email>
<costCenter>8506</costCenter>
<departmentCode/>
<departmentName>1200 Corp IT Exec 8506</departmentName>
<businessUnit>1200</businessUnit>
<jobTitle>HR Analyst 4</jobTitle>
<managerID>49541</managerID>
<division>290</division>
<companyName>HQ-Milpitas, US</companyName>
<workphone>
<number/>
</workphone>
<mobilePhone>
<number/>
</customerSet>
</user>
So if you see the header the "encoding=UTF-8" is missing after "version-1.0".
Do we need to configure any properties in File Adapter?? Or is it the standard way of rendering by the adapter.
Please advice.
Thanks in advance!!!

Sending empty files using SFTP Adapter

I am trying to send empty files using SFTP adapter. The interface has to send the file whether its empty file or containing data using SFTP adapter. I am using BizTalk Server 2013 R2. Is it a bug or the hotfix is already there for this issue.

The issue here is not your SFTP not able to send 0KB files, but the file receive adapter that is receiving the file. The file adapter deletes 0 KB files and doest not transmit it further.
If u have a ftp receive for example you should be able to send 0KB files.
If u have a custom file receive adapter , is it handling 0KB files ?

Creating PDF files using file adapter

Hi,
Is it possible to create a pdf file using, File/FTP adapter? If yes can someone please suggest how to do it.
Thanks,
Phani

Hi Phani,
I would say pdf files are binary files with a specialized format.
You can move pdf files through BPEL or ESB (i.e. file/ftp -> file/ftp), or from file to database BLOB and database to file, by importing the schema as opaque.
However I doubt that file adapter can create PDF files from a plain-text xml file, i.e. as PDFCreator would.
In a sense a pdf file is much like a jpg, mp3, or zip file, it can be passed through bpel but not created.
In other words if you have a base64Binary element in xml, that you know is the complete bytes to a pdf, jpg, or other file, you can write it out as a file using the File adapter.
Thanks
Steve

Is it possible to read the file using File Adapter which is in client machi

Is it possible to read the file using file Adapter which is in client machine(on the same network).Then what is thee need of FTP Adapter?

You can achieve that by exposing your client machine as a drive, then you can go using file adapter.
FTP adapter will help you to communicate with different machine which is in different network.
It is considered good etiquette to reward answerers with points (as "helpful" - 5 pts - or "correct" - 10pts).

Reading Multiple lines in a file Using File Adapter

Hi All,
Iam new to this technology.How to read multiple lines in a file using file adapter.Brief me with the methodology.

I didn't look at anything else but if you want to write more than one line ever to your file you should change this
out = new FileOutputStream("Calculation.log");to this...
out = new FileOutputStream("Calculation.log",true);A quick look at the API reveals the follow constructor FileOutputStream(File file, boolean append) append means should I add on the end of the file or over-write what is there.
By default you over-write. So in our case we say true instead which says add on to what is there.
At the end of that little snippet you shoudl be closing that stream as well.
So where you have
p.close();You should have
p.close();
out.close();

Delete file using file adapter

thanks for reply,
What I am trying to do is to only delete the file, is there some way where we can simply do a "delete", instead of first reading a file and then deleting it.

Appending XML data to a file using file adaptor

Hi,
I am trying to append data to a file using file adaptor in XML format. (Objective is to store data as XML message in the file). I understand it is possible to append data to an existing file by making appropriate changes in WSDL manually. However, my issue is every time the XML data is appended to a file even the XML header message is also getting appended. As a result the file data does not adhere to defined schema structure anymore.
Is there a way to save XML data in a file in append mode ?
Thanks, Riz

I am having the same issue as well, which makes the output XML an invalid one. I have an XSD that has a hierarchy of elements. whenever I am wiriting the child elements the header message & the name space is also getting written. For example
<?xml version="1.0" ?><Parent xmlns="http://testSchema.com/outputSchema">
<StartDate>01/01/2001</StartDate>
<EndDate>01/30/2001</EndDate>
<Child/>
</Parent>
<?xml version="1.0" ?><Child xmlns:ns1="http://testSchema.com/outputSchema">
<ns1:Id>20012981</ns1:Id>
<ns1:Value/>
<ns1:Date>01/15/2001</ns1:Date>
</Child>
<?xml version="1.0" ?><Child xmlns:ns1="http://testSchema.com/outputSchema">
<ns1:Id>20012981</ns1:Id>
<ns1:Value/>
<ns1:Date>01/15/2001</ns1:Date>
</Child>
I am using a onefile adapter partnerlink to write the parent & an another one for writing the child element, since the child elements will repeat more than once. One other way to fix this issue is write the data using java embedded activity, but that would need a lot of boiler plate code, for writing/reading/appending the same file & for handling all those IOexceptions & buffer IN/outs. I am curious if someone had the same issue & how they resolved it.
