Appending multiple xml files to single xml file using File channel?

Hi Experts,
I would like to get some pointers around xml files append.
My sender application will send around 1000 messages through SOAP per day. But the target application needs single xml file formed by consolidation of all these 1000 files.
I tried with txt files and the receiver file channel could append the txt files. However, since xml files allow only one root node, I am not able to achieve the requirement.
Is there any option we can do to get the result?
The target file location is UNIX folder. Do we need to create any shell script to run from the channel for appending the file?
Do we need to use any XSLT mapping to strip the xml declaration tags and append the files. Once the single file is ready, using another file channel with XSLT mapping, insert a dummy root node and xml declaration tags to build an xml file?
Any thoughts to get the result will be much appreciated.
Thanks
Ray..

Hi,
You have two options
1)Using Receiver Sender File channel select mode append it does the job.
Option 2:
Using BPM we cann collect all messages per day and club them as a one message, in this case create Target data type root node occurance 1 to unbounded. so it cal hold multiples SOAP messages in only XML messages.
search in sdn for BPM collect pattrersn,its very simple .
Option 3:
Create scheell script in OS level and write a logic to append all files planced in FTP.

Raj

Writing multiple arrays to a single xml file at seperate times without overwriting the previous file?

Hi my name is Dustin,
I am new to labview and teststand... I am trying to right multiple arrays of data to a single xml file. I can do this with a cluster but I have to create a variable for each of those arrays (21 arrays) and I was hoping to use the same variable for each array. Meaning I obtain my array of data write it to an xml file then replace that array in that variable with a new array and then call up my VI that writes that array to an xml file and write it to the same xml file underneath the first array without overwriting it. Attached is my VI I created to write an array to an xml file. Again I am wondering if there is a way to write multiple arrays to a single xml file at different times without overwriting the previous xml file.
Thanks

How can i read the complete file into a single XML tag?
I am aware of other options (AdapterModules or Javamapping). But i want to keep it simple to FileAdapter using FCC or using MessageTransformBean (if possible)
-SM

FCC donse't work here, So i wrote a simple Java map inside Execute method to convert the content to the required format.
public void execute(InputStream in, OutputStream out) throws StreamTransformationException{
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
 try {
 BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(in, "UTF-8"));
 while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
 sb.append(line).append("\r\n");
 } finally {
 in.close();
After i had the input string, i formatted it to get the required output as XML ...
<Document>
.<File>
..<Content> This is line 1 This is line2</content>
.</File>

Simplest way to disassemble the multiple xml records to single xml record?

Guys,
I just want to know the what can be the simplest way to disassemble the input xml file into single records.
Can we use built in XML disassemble component in custom pipeline to disassemble? If yes, how can we do it.
Or what is other way to do it.

Why you don't want to use Envelop Schema? Is there any specific reason for that?
Creating envelope schema won't be a tough task you just need to make Envelop property of Schema to Yes and set Body Xpath to the container record for the child records you wish to process individually.
Also you will have to create schema representing your child xml structure.
Refer
this article, it gives step by step description of the same.
Also, as John suggested you don't even have to create a custom pipeline as the debatching can be done using default XML Receive pipeline itself.
Let us know if you have any further question.
Thanks,

Appending in file and supplying file name at run time using File Adapter

Hi,
Can we use File Adapter to write in a file in append mode. i.e. a BPEL process opening a file appending some text and closing the file each time it called.
Another query is can we create the file at run time with the supplied file name?

In order to append to a file, we can use Append="true" in the interaction spec for the File/Ftp adapter.
<jca:operation
FileType="ascii"
PhysicalDirectory="/home/adapter/output"
FileNamingConvention="OutputFile.txt"
NumberMessages="1"
Append="true"

Filename we can specify in wsdl...

Cant do a file get from external server using file sender adapter with ftp

Hi all,
Up until now our company has only used the file sender adapter with ftp protocol to get a file from our XI server for processing and input the file into an integration process
I have a requirement to do an ftp file get from an external server
From our XI development server I can ftp directly to the external server and view the required directory using the command window via a DOS prompt (FTP open ...). So all firewall issues and communications are fine
Unfortunately I cannot currently pull files from the external server using the XI file adapter with ftp protocol from the XI development server AWB017
FTP Connection Parameters: External server name using port 21, Data Connection is Passive, No security, I supply a userid and password
Processing Parameters: Processing Mode is Archive (I tried test but this did not work either)
No messages appear in the RWB
Is there something else that I need to set up in order for the external ftp get to work via the XI file adapter?
Regards,
Mike

Thanks for your responses.
I have found the error messages in the File Adapter Monitor
Scenario 1
When I prefix the source directory with a forward slash, eg /Folder/Subfolder the error message is as follows
EST: Error: Error connecting to ftp server 'ip address': FTPEx: /Folder/Subfolder: The system cannot find the path specified
Scenario 2
When I DO NOT prefix the source directory with a forward slash, eg Folder/Subfolder a different error message is returned
Error: Retrieving file 'FILENAME.XML' failed unexpectedly: FTPEx: Folder/Subfolder: The system cannot find the path specified
At least in this scenario the adapter has been able to identify the file on the external FTP site but cannot retrieve it
Questions
I thought that the backslash prefix for the source directory was mandatory but I am receiving an error in each scenario
I receive the same error message whether the Processing Mode is 'Archive' or 'Test'
The logs on the external ftp server seem to indicate that I am simply connecting, sending username and password then quiting straight away. I am not issuing any commands that they can see
I thought that being a Sender adapter it would inherently execute a Pull or Get command
To recap, from our XI development server I can ftp directly to the external server and view the required directory using the command window via a DOS prompt (FTP open ...). So all firewall issues, communications, userid and password are fine
Has anyone experienced these issues?
Please advise on next course of action?
Regards,
Mike

Should files be securely deleted if using File Vault?

Do I need to "shred" or in someway securely delete files and mail that sit in File Vault? I am new to the MacOS and I am not sure where deleted files/mail go. If they don't leave the Home Folder it should be ok but if they somehow are relocated outside the Home Folder, I assume I would have a problem unless they are securely deleted.

Interesting question, sgmiller.
The default Trash location is a hidden directory in your Home folder, ~/.Trash, which would be in your File Vault, assuming the File Vault includes your entire Home directory and doesn't leave anything out.
When you delete a file, its directory entry is updated, rewriting the parent directory of the file to the ~/.Trash folder. Then when you empty the Trash, the directory entry of the file is simply removed and the file disappears from the file system. They don't really go anywhere, they just disappear. However, the bytes still remain on the disk until something else comes along and writes to those sectors, so Secure Delete can be used to overwrite the previously used areas of the disk with zeros.
I guess it depends on how careful you want to be. You may also be interested in using Secure Virtual Memory if you aren't already, under "System Preferences->Security".
Clear as mud, my apologies!

How to get the read input file name in bpel process using File Adapter.

Hi,
I am reading a .txt file from configured directory using File Adapter.
I had configured file adapter to read file with naming pattern “SalesOrder.*\.txt”.
Now I had requirement to access the actual file name in bpel process eg: “SalesOrder123.txt”
How can I get the file name in bpel process.
Any help is appreciated.
Vidya.

1) create a variable of message type. Click on Browse Message type. Here you select Message Type-->Project WSDL Files -->fileAdapterInboundHeader-->Message Types-->Inboundheader_msg. Then click OK
2)Next dbl Click on teh receive Activity which is receing your File from teh File Adapter. Go to the Adapter Tab. Click on Browse variable and select the variable that you had just created above.
This would get the File name in the variable declared

Question: Multiple iTunes users w/ single music library on file server

My son and I (separate computers) host all of our music on a common file server. Initially, it was my music library...when he loaded iTunes, it imported everything and all was fine.
However, now if I add a few songs to the library (I can see them in the shared folders that we both have setup as our music folder within iTunes) they don't show up in his music library unless we either import them or drag them from File Mgr into iTunes.
There has to be an "automatic" way...doesn't there?
I'm eager for suggestions.
Thanks much,
Rick

Sorry to say, there is not an easier way and folks have been requesting it from Apple for years.

How to archive file on the receiver side using file adapter

Hi All,
In our company we have many file to file scenarios some of them for B2B communication. We want to archive all the files that are sent from vendor to our company. Is there a way of archiving the orignal files being sent by the vendors?
Regards,
Xier
Message was edited by:
XIer

hey
>>we want to archive the files before they are processed by XI, i.e the way the sender adapter picks it up.
well if the files are not picked up by XI then they will stay in the sender directory then why do u want to archive them and create a duplicate copy.
files are archived when they are picked by sender file adapter so that in future if we have any issue in message transfer we can resend them,simple set the mode as archive in the sender CC.
Thanx
