Writing timestamp on the content of file (not the filename) using FTP Adapt

Hi Experts,
Is it possible to write a timestamp (from the source server) to a target logfile if I'll use FTP Adapter?
Here the scenario:
Source:
source.log -> the contents is AAAA (the timestamp base from the server is [06/09/10 10:00])
- basically the source.log file is overwritten with the same content but the timestamp is changed so that's would be scenario
it will checked by the FTP adapter....
Target:
target.log -> the content of the file is 06/09/10 10:00
so probably if i have a target logfile I'll just have to append the file as this
06/09/10 10:00
06/09/10 10:02
06/09/10 10:04
06/09/10 10:06
06/09/10 10:08
06/09/10 10:10
If it's possible, how will I do this? Do I need script? or just normal settings of the FTP adapter?

Large files not being picked by FTP adapter

Hello,
In our integration scenario, files from the AS400 (legacy system) are placed at a FTP location from where the XI picks up the file for processing. We have FTP communication channel.
The file has about 8000 records is in binary format. When the file was placed it was not being picked up after the mentioned polling period of 60 secs. After manually inserting about 300 records which makes the file size smaller, the file is picked up bu XI and processed without error. With the 8000 records the file size was 2.5 MB.
Thank you

Please provide a J2EE trace at logging severity "Debug" for the location
"com.sap.aii.adapter.file". Please do the following:
- increase logging severity to "Debug"
- set log levels to ERROR for all components
- ONLY set log level to DEBUG for "com.sap.aii.adapter.file"
- reproduce the problem and gather the defaultTrace.trc immediately
after you reproduce
- remember to reset the logging severity after you have reproduced as
leaving it on "Debug" can cause performance problems in your system.
Also the ftp server logs will be needed in this case.

Unable to Poll files in SFTP Location using FTP Adapter

Hi SOA Experts,
I have an issue like soa composite is unable to poll files.
I have done the below configuration .
1.created the jndi by giving values to properties host name,port,username,password,usesftp.
2. refered the same jndi in composite.
3. After deployment it is not pulling files from sftp location.
From the logs I came to know it is able to list files for the directory mentioned in the composite.The permissions are read-write.
I am using sftp server credentials were the server is running on windows.
But unable to pick it by composite and no instances can be seen in em console.
Can any one can provide solution ?

1. Open your FTP Server ( ex:- Filezilla Server :- navigate to the users :- under the users you will find the shared folder.
Check the fields . Now it should work
Let me know if you still need any info on the same.

Problem archiving file using FTP adapter

Hi,
I am polling some files from another server using FTP adapter in SOA 11g. Even though I have checked the option to archive the files, the files get archived successfully on the server where the SOA process is running, but I am unable to archive the files on the server from which I am reading the file
I am not sure whether this is the default behaviour or is there any way to archive files on the same server from which I pick or read the file.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Namrata

Hi Neeraj,
Thanks, the archiving in the remoteLocation worked by doing what you told me...
I tried archiving to the local machine which is not working for me ... i gave both the properties as below...
<property name="UseRemoteArchive" value="false"/>
<property name="PhysicalArchiveDirectory" value="C:\Users\naresh\Desktop\ftp"/>
Thanks,
Naresh

Duplicate File issue using FTP adapter - BizTalk 2010

Hi We encountered an Issue of picking Duplicate files in BizTalk 2010 from the FTP Location. Need your assistance on this.
Mainframe sends multiple files a 0 KB file to FTP and BizTalk picks during a particular service window using FTP Adapter.
Receive Location has a pipeline component which decodes the MF file(EBCDICRow format).
Send Port transmits the file which is decoded in the Receive location. There is no mapping or orchestration involved.
When 2 files are placed in FTP Location. BizTalk Transmits the files successfully
No suspended messages in BizTalk but we see below error in event log. we tried reproduce the issue but no luck.
Host Instance running FTP Location is Clustered
There was a failure executing the receive pipeline: "XXXX.XX.Pipelines.Receive_XXX_TransactionsMC_passthru, XXX.XX.Pipelines, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=c2d1f476d5c2f97d"

Hi Sri,
There could be two reason for such a behavior:
1) Using Non-Clustered Hosts: It is always recommended to use the clustered host for FTP adapter. Because FTP don't allow
any locking mechanism on the files so in case of non-clustered with multiple host instances you might receive same file multiple times through different host instances.
2) If the original document is still being written to the FTP server by the host application, the FTP adapter cannot
delete the document and will retrieve another copy of the document at the next polling interval that is configured for the receive location. This behavior causes document duplication to occur.
Workaround could be:
Configure the host application to write to a temporary folder on the same hard disk as the public FTP folder and to periodically move the contents of the temporary folder
to the FTP folder. The temporary folder should be on the same hard disk as the public FTP folder to make sure that the move operation is atomic. An atomic operation is an operation that is functionally indivisible. If you write data to the public FTP folder
by using the BizTalk Server FTP adapter, you can do this by specifying a Temporary Folder property in the FTP Transport Properties dialog box when you configure a send port. If you specify a Temporary Folder property, make sure that this folder is on the same
physical disk as the public FTP folder.
Configure the FTP receive location to operate within a service window when the host application is not writing data to the FTP server. You can specify the service window
when you configure the receive location properties.

Processing files in Sequence using FTP Adapter

Hi Experts,
I have searched several forums but i am not clear on how to process the files using FTP Adapter based on Timestamp.
To process the files in sequence i.e, FIFO using FTP Adapter
i have the files with file name customer and timestamp : customer<yyyyMMddHHmmss>
there are around 50 files in the FTP server llike this.
I need to process these files acording to the timestamp and place the files in same processing sequence in the receiver end using the file adapter.
If i specify the parametes in sender FTP Adapter as
Qos= EOIO
Queue name = ACCOUNT
Whether these parameters would do the processing in sequence according to the Timestamp?
Suppose if the queue ID for Inbound(SMQ2) is XBTI0_ACCOUNT then whether it will be the same for Outbound(SMQ1)?
Kindly suggest me how to process the files in sequence according to the Timestamp using FTP Adapter
Please reply..
Thanks
Sai

Hi Shabarish,
But this would require one more additional channel to process
So i think it will take more time to process.
Let me clarify my question once again.
I need to Pick the files from FTP server based on their TimeStamp and in sequence.
the file names are like this Customer<YYYYMMDDHHmmSS>.
suppose i have 3 files as
Customer20050413044534
Customer20050414053430
Customer20050315034533
So i need to pick these files in this order and place the files in the same order to the receiver end(File Adapter)
Customer20050315034533
Customer20050413044534
Customer20050414053430.
As i am using FTP sender adapter i cannot use processing sequence "By Date".
please suggest me on this.
Thanks
Sai.

How to change the JCA JNDI dynamically using FTP Adapter

We have 5 FTP Servers, each having a directory to poll. We have created 5 CCI instances for these FTP Adapters in the FTPAdapter deployment. We created a BPEL process and using FTP Adapter to connect to above mentioned servers.
Question: Customer's requirement is to use a single BPEL process to poll all these FTP Servers at a specified date and time. How can we connect dynamically to each FTP server at specified time.
(OR)
Is there any way to change the JCAJNDI dynamically in a FTP Adapter configuration ?
I have seen that FTP Adapter POLL doesnt take any JCA JNDI/hostname/un/pwd/date/time dynamically.
Regards
Pavan

Hi Pavan,
It's possible to change the JNDI dynamically but only when you use put operation where you can control the JNDI name at the time of invoking the FTP Adapter as described in below link.
Dynamic JNDI in FTP Adapter | jca.jndi property not picked by Adapter
However, can you consider using BPEL process with SyncRead (and read files through all the JNDIs in a loop) and scheduling this BPEL process to a desired frequency?

Copy a file with same filename using XI - module experts please help!

Guys,
Felix Jeyareuben had an excellent blog on how to copy a binary file with XI.
/people/sap.user72/blog/2005/07/15/copy-a-file-with-same-filename-using-xi
It is a shame by the way that such a simple thing has to be this complicated in XI, but that's another question...
So after I created the EAR file and successfully deployed the modules on our XI server, I got the following file adapter error, when I was trying to use it:
Sender Adapter v2727 for Party '', Service 'BS_TA_XI_DEV':
Configured at 2006-11-30 14:04:15 EST
History:
- 2006-11-30 14:10:00 EST: Error: java.lang.ClassCastException
- 2006-11-30 14:10:00 EST: Processing started
Can you give me any clues what could have gone wrong?
This is the first module I deployed so I might have messed up something simple, but I cannot figure this out.
Also how can I debug this?
Your help would be much appreciated.
Thanks a lot,
Viktor Varga

Do it like in the mentioned blog, but don't do any mapping. That will be fine.
> Michal,

Check your EAR if there are any libs from the adapter framework and delete them if necessary.
After deployment check in your visual administrator if your EAR is available.

Files with .a extension using ftp transport

Hi.
Am using ftp adapter in osb to read .txt files(e.g. abcd.txt) from ftp location, process the body/text() in OSB and then place the incoming file to an outbound folder.
the flow is like ftp-> Proxy Service->Business Service->outbound ftp
the service works fine where then is less load or the no. of incoming files is less.
However,sometimes the outbound folder contains the files with .a extension at the end.(e.g. abcd.txt.a)
Can someone tell me the rootcause of these .a file creation and the scenarios in which the .a files are created.
Also,please tell me what are these .a files meant for?
How,can I eliminate this while configuring the services using ftp transport.
Thanks in adavance

I had this recently with a variety of FTP servers, FileZilla, Microsoft etc.
For me, it happened when the file already exists in the destination and I was expecting the destination file to be overwritten. My application would generate the same filename, say FileA.txt and expect that to be overwritten, but with OSB 10gR3 I would get files with .a stuck on the end.
This functionality changed between ALSB and OSB and I had a patch developed to restore the ALSB functionality.
I spent ages looking at it, and debugging FTP commands and going from memory, I'm pretty certain that the FTP adapter doesn't implement the correct FTP spec for the RNFR command according to the RFC in the case where a file already exists - it doesn't handle overwrite.
Hope that may help.
