Settings and usage of external FTP Server in ECC 6.0

Dear all,
I work in ECC 6.0, and I want to configure and use an external FTP Server for upload, download and delete file from FTP Server.
My questions are:
1) Which are steps for configure an FTP connection?
2) How can I read, delete and send a flat file to the FTP Server? Can you send a sample code?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Best Regards,
Giulio

CREATE CONTROLFILE
Caution:
Oracle recommends that you perform a full backup of all files in the database before using this statement. For more information, see Oracle9i User-Managed Backup and Recovery Guide.
Purpose
Use the CREATE CONTROLFILE statement to re-create a control file in one of the following cases:
All copies of your existing control files have been lost through media failure.
You want to change the name of the database.
You want to change the maximum number of redo log file groups, redo log file members, archived redo log files, datafiles, or instances that can concurrently have the database mounted and open.
Note:
If it is necessary to use the CREATE CONTROLFILE statement, do not include in the DATAFILE clause any datafiles in temporary or read-only tablespaces. You can add these types of files to the database later.
An alternative to the CREATE CONTROLFILE statement is ALTER DATABASE BACKUP CONTROLFILE TO TRACE, which generates a SQL script in the trace file to re-create the controlfile. If your database contains any read-only or temporary tablespaces, that SQL script will also contain all the necessary SQL statements to add those files back into the database.

Transfer file to an external FTP SERVER

HI Gentelemen!!,
I'm trying to open an external FTP connection, sending a file from the MiniSAP.
Which is the appropiate RFC connection that I have to use??
Anybody know how to set RFC connection to access an external FTP server.
This are the MF that I use:
CALL FUNCTION 'SCRAMBLE_STRING'
To encrypt password
CALL FUNCTION 'FTP_CONNECT'
here i have an import value for RFC DESTINATION
return handle - I use it to close the connection
CALL FUNCTION 'FTP_COPY'
CALL FUNCTION 'FTP_DISCONNECT'
Use HANDLE numbre to close the connection
Thanks for your help.
POLAK.-

I am not sure minisap has sapftp and sapftpa executable.
Anyway the two RFC destination used to do FTP are SAPFTPA and SAPFTP. This are 2 TCP/IP RFC destination (Type T) that launch either the program sapftp or sapftpa on the application server.
If these rfc destination are not setup in transaction SM59 you can try to define them but it might not work on minisap.

Transfer Excel file to external FTP server via PGP

Hi SDN!
I have build an scheduled report to generated an Excel-file from an internal table and saved it in the database. Now my task is to upload it to an external FTP Server of a partner company. The File contains sensible data and shall be encrypted via PGP.
How can i upload to an external FTP server and before that, encrypt the file with PGP? I appreciate any help and look forward to reward some great posts.
Thanks for your help!

I found a solution myself, maybe someone is interrested:
I installed a WS FTP Professional on a Server.
Onto this server I wrote the files that have to be ftp-uploaded into one specific folder.
A Perl Script in the scheduled tasks of the machine checks if a new file is in the folder and starts the upload.
In WS FTP the site upload is defined with all PGP Keys so they are store secure.
This solution can be used by any programming language that is able to write files in the upload folder.

How to schedule Adapter to Pickup File on external FTP Server

Any solution is very much appreciated for the following Problem.
My Scenarios are File to XI to FIle
My problem is XI is picking up file on FTP Server while file is being written by Webservice ( This Webservice can not write .tmp file or movie file from one directory to another. So these options are ruled out )
These are proposed steps:
1. Job Scheduler creates Dummy File on XI File System
2. XI Picks up File on XI File System and Invokes External Webservice and receives Response that a File "MadFile" has been written to external FTP Server.
3. After XI receives response from webservice, XI should get "MadFile" from FTP Server
How Can I implement step 3 above.
( Please do not suggest executing scripts as the the application where webservice running do not want to write it )

ST,
At times one has to take a stand and using a BPM like this is actually complicating things. Using the script option is the best solution!
Menahwile, even BPM solution doesn't make sense to me as like you correctly told, your Second Receive Step can poll over the file and pick up the temporary file! Even if you can handle this using Adapter Scheduling, you would need Correlation and I am pretty sure that as you are using a dummy file, this also cannot be achieved!
Would suggest that another option would be to ask the webservice to send a call directly to XI after writing the file. The moment XI receives the Webservice request, XI can invoke a java proxy to collect the file ( polling using File adapter is not going to help ) and then pass this file to the integration engien and so on.
Even my solution is not a very good one, but, if nothing works out, it is something atleast. But, I would ask you to push for the tmp folder plus script.

Loading and exporting files to FTP server

Hi gurus,
I need to import and then export my files to the FTP location. I have my files kept at application server level.
But when I try to import or export any file through BPC Excel, It gives me the path of my desktop only.
So my question is ,
1. Do I need to specify the directory of FTP location somewhere?
2. How to use the package - Import files from FTP. And what should be the URL of file kept at FTP location.
Thanks .
Sanjay

Hi. In data manager, you should be able to just type or enter the URL for the FTP site manually, for example ftp://host/documents/ As for aplpliation server, you should be able to simply enter the file path manually, for example
<appserver>\usr\sap\documents\
Data mananger does not currectly support browsing to the application server, but it will accept the location in the prompt.
Also, keep in mind that the FTP server must be inside your corporate network. This is a limitation of the functions used at the NetWeaver level.

Usage of external LDAP server with Portal

Hi All,
We are in a situation to use external LDAP server with WLP 8.1. These are the
constraints we have to deal with:
1. Only read is allowed from this LDAP server.
2. This would be used for authentication purpose
If thats the case, how can we use Visitor Entitlements/Delegated Admin and Group
creation using Portal Admin tool since this will write to the configured LDAP
server.
Can somebody answer my question:
1. Can we use external LDAP server - just for authetication (I know this is possible
by using JAAS LoginModule, but I just want to get confirmed on this ) and
2. Use default and embedded LDAP server for all others like Group/Visitor Entitlements/DAs.
Any relevant pointers are also welcome.
TIA,
Prashanth Bhat.

Thanks for th ereply. Some of your answers are not clear. Can you pls eloborate
on this?? Pls see my comments below.

You can add the external LDAP server just for authentication, but in
versions through
8.1 SP2 WLP will want to verify the user exists (via the UserReaderMBean)
during
the login process (this check has been removed in SP3). A work around
is to
duplicate
the user in a provider that does impl UserReaderMBean.
Prashanth : You mean to say we have to duplicate the User in embedded LDAP server
also??
>>

Yes, the default/embedded LDAP can still be used for DA/visitor
entitlements. In the current
release, the Portal Admin Tools can only be configured to use a single
authentication provider
while forming entitlements. In SP3, all configured providers are
listed/usable by the tools.Prashanth : How can we configure Portal Admin tool to use authentication provider
for entitlements??

Hi
I am trying to script an automatic FTP backup of a WCS system using the DBAdmin command from a command line.
As the WCS was previously a WLSE it is running Linux via the WSC conversion part code WCS-WLSE-APB-100, it has then been further upgraded and is running 6.0.170.0 Base. Linux version is: 2.6.18-8.el5 ([email protected]) (gcc version 4.1.1 20070105 (Red Hat 4.1.1-52)) #1 SMP Fri Jan 26 14:15:21 EST 2007)
When I execute the command I get the following:
[root@WCS bin]# ./dbadmin.sh remotebackup 10.0.0.1 test test
Do you want to backup report history? (y/n) n
Report history will not be backed up.

Good to hear it works for you as it gives me some hope of finding the solution. All documentation regarding the dbadmin command refers to v4.1 and I was wondering if it had been depreciated from later versions!

Application Firewall settings and OSX 10.5.2 Server

I recently upgraded our servers at work to 10.5 and then performed the upgrade to 10.5.2. Now I have a service that's having issues connecting to another computer and my thought is that it might be the new firewall that's causing the issue. However, when I went go change to the settings, I can't find the control for it as described.
I'm looking for it at System Preferences -> Security. I'm only seeing two tabs on this page, General and FileVault. I do not see a tab for Firewall anywhere.
Help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi Ian,
Go to http://www.apple.com/server/documentation/ and download the NetworkServices_Adminv10.5.pdf manual. Information on the Firewall and its configuration are in there. Most everything you need to know about running Leopard OS X Server is on that page. The rest is in these forums and at http://www.afp548.com and http://osx.topicdesk.com for starters.
Good luck with your new server software.

Export Table to flat file and upload to FTP server for external vendor

I have done some extensive searches on the forums and I think I have an idea but really need some help. Basically have a table that needs to be exported to a flat file and uploaded to a FTP server so that our vendor can get the data Monday-Saturday and automated by sysdate. This data is used to produce daily letters that go out to customers.
After doing some searching I came across the UTL_FILE package and reading more into this right now but I am not sure if it is what I should be using to create the file.
I am using TOAD right now and can see how to do it manually however really need the file to create itself and send automatically at 6 am Monday - Saturday with the date at the end of the file name making it a unique file for each day.
Thanks in advance for all of your help.

As Justin and others have mentioned I wrote [XUTL_FTP|http://www.chrispoole.co.uk/apps/xutlftp.htm] so you wont find it in the Oracle documentation. It's pure PL/SQL and uses UTL_TCP and implements an integrated PL/SQL FTP client / API. One of it's many overloaded procedures FTP's the contents of a refcursor straight to a FTP server of your choice, meaning no intervening file is required. Since it is pure PL/SQL, it is trivial to schedule using DBMS_JOB/DBMS_SCHEDULER.
Any questions just ask.

Need Help to locate a file on a FTP server using MediaLocator class

Hi Friends,
This is Venkat. Iam currently working on a Multimedia J2EE web project. Iam working on a requirement to
show Thumbnail view for uploaded media. For this i have downloaded a standalone code from the following site.
http://www.exactfutures.com/index02.htm.
This code converts frames of a media files to jpg images which i can use them to show as Thumbnails.
The code takes file name which is present in project folder as parameter. But in my web project iam using a FTP server to store my media files.
The above code uses Java Media Framework along with another API Fobs4JMF. The media file name is passed to MediaLocator class constructor which is located in the project folder. Iam talking about a standalone application here.
But my project is a J2EE web application.
Now my problem is that, how can i refer a file which is located on a external FTP server and pass it to MediaLocator or some other class.
Say the ftp file URL is mms://wm.testuser.net/12365741/testvideo.wmv
Guys hope you are clear abt my problem. Please help me ASAP.
Below is the part of code
     * Constructor
     public vid2jpg(String path) {
          MediaLocator ml;
          String args = path;
          if ((ml = new MediaLocator(args)) == null) {
               System.out.println("Cannot build media locator from: " + args);
          if (!open(ml)) {
               System.out.println("Failed to open media source");
     * Given a MediaLocator, create a processor and start
     private boolean open(MediaLocator ml) {
          System.out.println("Create processor for: " + ml);
          try {
               p = Manager.createProcessor(ml);
          } catch (Exception e) {
               System.out.println("Failed to create a processor from the given media source: " + e);
               return false;
          p.addControllerListener(this);
          // Put the Processor into configured state.
          p.configure();
          if (!waitForState(p.Configured)) {
               System.out.println("Failed to configure the processor.");
               return false;
          // Get the raw output from the Processor.
          p.setContentDescriptor(new ContentDescriptor(ContentDescriptor.RAW));
Thanks in Advance for your time.

Hi Mani,
Below is code that ran successfully on a cRIO-9002. It looks much the same as yours, please double-check the formatting of your string controls. If things still do not work, let's look at the cRIO more closely.
