BPEL FTP Adapter Error : Error ModificationTimeFormat

Hi ,
I have a requiremnt to copy a file from FTP server and put that file into my Local Machine .
For that I have created a BPEL Process .
One Partner Link ( FTP ) - There is a option to "delete the file " . I dont want this option , Because I want to copy the file from FTP server to Local Machine not to move the file .
If I check this " Delete the File " option , instance is sucessfully created and files get moved from FTP server to Local Machine .
My Question is : I want to "copy" the file from FTP Server to Local Machine , so I deselected the option " Delete the file " . After that I set Time Modification and Format .
But When I deploy this BPEL process I am getting the follwing error .
[u]<2007-01-22 11:24:21,164> <DEBUG> <default.collaxa.cube.ws> <FileAdapter::Outbound> PollWork is calling onFatalError for exception Failed to get file modification time.
Could not get file modification time for file :/MySharedFolders/Testpdf_folder\P
LSQL Fundamentals - II.pdf. Verify that the values for the "ModificationTimeFor
mat" activation parameter are correct.Ensure the time format pattern and filenam
e begin index and end index are specified according to the specific FTP server.
Check the error stack and fix the cause of the error. Contact oracle support if
error is not fixable.
Please help me out how to get rid of this problem .
Thanks

BPEL FTP Adapter name space

Hi Friends,
I have a bpel process which sends xml data over ftp. The name space in FTPed data looks as below:
"<?xml version = "1.0" encoding = "UTF-8" ?>

However receive of ftpied data expect following (Please note change in sehmalocation:
" <?xml version = "1.0" encoding = "UTF-8" ?>

Thanks Everybody for the prompt response .
1) What error does one get when trying to connect to FTP Sever which only support active mode
No Error , but no file transfer happens. SR and Bug Request for the same is already in place .
QUESTION
========
Does BPEL FTP Adapter supports active ftp mode (instead of passive).
ANSWER
======
No, FTP Adapter only supports passive mode. For that purpose there is an Enhancement Request
already, the Bug 6866124 - NEED SUPPORT FOR PASSIVE FTP ADAPTER AND CUSTOM FTP
COMMANDS :
1. The FTP Server needs to be active for the Adapter to work. So, both FTP Server and the FTP adapter must be active for it to work.
Also you only support PASSIVE mode in our FTP JCA adapter. ACTIVE mode is currently
considered bad practice and a security vulnerability.
But, we would require both ACTIVE and PASSIVE modes.
2. Custom commands are not supported. But, we need the samples for custom FTP Commands and support for it.
for example: quote site fixrecfm 90...

BPEL FTP Adapter Active Mode

Does BPEL FTP Adapter supports active ftp mode (instead of passive). Apparently the ftp site for one of the Interfaces uses FTP Adapter and that ftp server it is using supports ONLY active ftp sessions, NOT passive.
Want are configuration to made to changed to support active mode
oc4j-ra.xml for ACTIVE ftp and not passive

IndexOutOfBoundsException with BPEL FTP adapter

I am running SOA Suite 10.1.3.4 on WebLogic Server 9.2, and have deployed a simple test BPEL process that is using the FTP adapter to poll for files on a remote SFTP server, retrieve the opaque payload, then copy it to a destination file on another SFTP server. For small files this works fine. For larger files (e.g., a 3.5MB file with ~25000 fixed-length records) I get the following in my OracleSOAServer.log file:

This happens immediately after the polling FTP adapter picks up the file. The IndexOutOfBoundsException is particularly troubling...is this error solely a function of memory (no OutOfMemory exception is being thrown), or is some other factor at work here? Any insights are appreciated.

Hi Anirudh,
Thanks for the response. To clarify: my BPEL process starts with a Receive activity (with "createInstance" set to "yes"), which is receiving from an FTP Adapter PartnerLink. This PartnerLink is polling for a file on an SFTP server. When this file is present, and is relatively small, the whole BPEL process completes successfully. When it is of a larger size, I get the error described in my original post. The cause of the indexOutOfBoundsException is what I'm trying to determine. Here is the source for my BPEL process:

BPEL FTP Adapter problems

Hi!
I have two problem using the FTP Adapter in a BPEL process.
The first can be described as follow: I have a BPEL process that incapsulates the FTP Adapter and it is deployed correctly on the BPEL default domain. It's working fine in a normal context with no error. Now I want to simulate a "read FTP Server" crash; so I put the FTP Server from which I'm reading off-line. When the GET module of the FTP Adapter tries to poll the server, it generates a Null Pointer Exception and on the server command window I can read, after a while, that the process state will be set to OFF. But when I enter in the console I always see the state ON! But the interesting question is: is there an automatic way to recovery the process and to restart it? I see that in the domain parameter there are two values: rcvAgentDelay (7200) and rcvThreshold (600). I tried to set them to some other values, for example (120) and (10), but the process still remains "blocked" and no new polling seems to happen.
The second problem is about the creation and the deploying on a new domain. I create a new domain called "bulk" and I tried to deploy my process on it but I can't do it due to the generation of many exception! Can I deploy a process with a FTP Adapter component inside on a domain different from the default one? And if the response is positive, like I think, can you summarize the most important steps of it and if I must configure some specific domain parameters?
Thanks a lot,
Busnelli.

OK, firstly I want to thank both of you, Rakesh and Maneesh.
Here are the details requested:
Operation System = Windows XP Pro SP2
BPEL Process Manager = 10.1.2
BPEL Server version = 2.2 (build 1361)
JDeveloper version = 10.1.2 (build 1811)
BPEL Designer version = 10.1.2 (build 050322)
Usually after any modification I'm used to restarting the BPEL server.
Today I have downloaded the "Oracle JDeveloper 10g (10.1.3) - Developer Preview" (I think to be the Post Beta 3) and as soon as possible I will try to use it.
Thanks to both!

BPEL FTP adapter

Hi everyone!
Is there anyone who can tell me where I can find some information about the usage of the FTP adapter included in BPEL PM 10.1.2.
Thanks!

Hi!
By the using of the beta FTP guide I have solved my doubts about the configuration of the adapters for getting and putting files on different FTP server.
But during the execution of the process I have noticed a strange thing in the BPEL server console. It seems to be a âgreatâ delay between the activation of the process after the deploying and the effective transferring of files from server1 to server2. I mean, for example, that if I deploy the process at 9,07AM the first transfer begin at 9,28AM, about twenty minutes after and so on for the other istances.
The situation is that:
The polling frequency is fixed to 60 seconds;
The Minimum file age is fixed to 0 seconds;
The files on server1 have a minimum age of about 2 minutes (and have an extension of type .txt);
The instances are initiated automatically because I have checked the âcreate instanceâ box in the invoke component configuration parameters.
Initially I think that the delay was due to the difference between my pc-time and the server1-time but modifying my pc-time I have obtained only a little improvement.
Could it be due to any activation or scheduling parameter in some BPEL file or it is probably a synchronization problem between my pc and server1?
I bag your pardon if the message is so long but I hope to have success in explaining the problem!
Thanks,
Busno.

BPEL FTP Adapter Issue

I am trying to run the tutorials/129.FTPAdapter example.
1) placed my FTP configuration in Oracle_Home\integration\orabpel\system\appserver\oc4j\j2ee\home\a
pplication-deployments\default\FtpAdapter\oc4j-ra.xml file.
2) created the input, output folder is my ftp
3) deployed the FTPDebatching process.
The process started polling the FTP- input directory immediately after deployment.
But when I place the container.txt file in the input folder then its not reading the contents of that file and no exception message is thrown
But when I manually initiate the process by giving some input then its writing the input in to a file in FTP- output directory.
But it should pick up the file from input directory when it is place over there.
polling frequency is 1 minute.
Am I missing some configuration ????????

Did you define in your first activity to create an instance? If you stated in your first activity in your bpel process he needs to create an instance, he will instantiate your process when a file is picked up by the polling mechanism.

FTP Adapter in SOA10.1.3.4.0 MLR4 doesn't work and no errors either

Hi All:
First my env summary:
I have install SOA10.1.3.4.0 (with MLR4) on my laptop (Windows XP). Also I have install Filezilla Server on same laptop.
In Fillezilla, I have configured a ftp location to "F:\MyFTPServer" directory. F drive is a local drive on my laptop. Also I have created a user called "soa" with password "soa" to be able to access this FTP server.
Under F:\MyFTPServer directory, I have 3 sub folders:
In -- to get file
Out -- to drop the file
Archive -- to archive the file after get and drop
I have successfully accessed this ftp server from other computer using either MS-DOS FTP command or FTP software (e.g. WinSCP) as user "soa". I am able to drop file to "In" dirrectory and get file from "Out" directory.
Above confirms my FTP server is ready to be used.
Next, in SOA 10.1.3.4.0 AS console, I have create a new Connection Factory called "*eis/Ftp/myFtpServer*" (there is a seeded one called eis/Ftp/FtpAdapter and I didn't touch/configure it).
the following is the settings for eis/Ftp/myFtpServer
host: my laptop computer name
port: 21
ftpAbsolutePathBegin: /
ftpPathSeparator: /
listParserKey: WIN
username: soa
password: soa
serverType: win
for the rest settings, I leave as default.
Then, I create a simple BPEL process with following components:
One FTP Adapter called "MyFTP" with following parameters:
<jca:operation
FileType="ascii"
PhysicalDirectory="In"
ActivationSpec="oracle.tip.adapter.ftp.inbound.FTPActivationSpec"
PhysicalArchiveDirectory="Archive"
DeleteFile="true"
IncludeFiles=".*\.csv"
PollingFrequency="60"
MinimumAge="60"
FileModificationTime="FileSystem"
ModificationTimeFormat="4,18,yyyyMMddHHmmSS"
OpaqueSchema="false"
</jca:operation>
<service name="MyFTP">
<port name="GetFile_pt" binding="tns:GetFile_binding">
<jca:address location="*eis/Ftp/myFtpServer*" UIincludeWildcard="*.csv" />
</port>
</service>
I create one Receive activity to get file from "MyFTP" FTP Adapter.
Using above setting, my intention is to poll any file (*.csv) from F:\MyFTPServer\In directory and receive it into my receive activity.
I deployed my project to SOA application server and stop/restart my SOA application once.
Now, the real stuff begins:
I dropped 2 simple, very small (size < 1KB) files called sample.csv and sample2.csv to F:\MyFTPServer\In diretory.
In my domain.log file, I can see my BPEL process is starting polling every 1 minute without any error:
<2010-09-16 15:29:25,015> <INFO> <default.collaxa.cube.activation> <File Adapter::Inbound> Managed Connection Created
<2010-09-16 15:29:25,015> <INFO> <default.collaxa.cube.activation> <File Adapter::Inbound> Connection Created
<2010-09-16 15:30:25,016> <INFO> <default.collaxa.cube.activation> <File Adapter::Inbound> Managed Connection Created
<2010-09-16 15:30:25,016> <INFO> <default.collaxa.cube.activation> <File Adapter::Inbound> Connection Created
Meanwhile, I am observing Filezilla server log and it clearly said every one minute (the timestamp match to bpel domain.log 100%), user "soa" login to this FTP server and list both files (sample.csv and sample2.csv) in "In" directory. Then it quits.
However, I don't see any BPEL instance is created (In my BPEL project, I have cheched "Create Instance" when create my receive activity). And both files are still there in "In" folder. Per my configuration of "MyFTP" FTP adapter, the file should be deleted after it is polled successfully (*DeleteFile*="true")

I am bit of confused. In my case, there is no any error anywhere; however, FTP Adapter in my bpel project doesn't poll file either. It does login to FTP server every one minute; did a list command; then quit.
You may suggest I change the following 2 settings in my bpel project:
FileModificationTime="FileSystem"
ModificationTimeFormat="4,18,yyyyMMddHHmmSS"
however, I think they are set correctly, because it match to MDTM command result in my Filezilla server log (see above and below). The modificaiton time format starts at position 4 and ends with position 18 with correct mask

Can anyone offer me some help? I am desperately want make this work so that I can show this example to others here.
Thanks in advance!

Hi All,
I have a CSV with 2000 records.. want to process it in batch of 500.
When i dont use batching in FTP adapter.. everything goes fine.
But when i include batching in the adpater.. and try to process the same file. it gives:

I tried deleting the rows 24-28 from the CSV and process again.. again got the same error [Line=27, Col=1] .. so its not an issue with CSV.
Please suggest.
Thanks

Can you publish or pass your csv and the native schema you are using. Please also mention your soa version. thx.

FTP Adapter Unable to change directory 'inputDir'

Hi all. I'm trying to put the file into BPEL Process, transform and put it to the output directory like in tutorial 129.FTPAdapter FTPDebatching. But I've got this message:

Hi Varun,
Review of the ftp protocol specification
http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc959/
http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc959/5_Declarative.html
shows that LIST command
LIST
125, 150
226, 250
425, 426, 451
450
500, 501, 502, 421, 530
does not have 550 code among the codes which are supposed to be returned by ftp server in response
to ls command. So, it looks like the ftp server running on AIX platofrm violates the ftp protocol specification.
As a result bpel ftp adapter returns an error and the process goes off-line.
Solution:
Apply patch 4508850.
If for any reason the official patch does not work, then apply the patch manually using the following steps:
1. Stop OC4J_BPEL
2. Create the following directories:
$O_H\integration\orabpel\system\classes\oracle\tip\adapter\file\inbound
$O_H\integration\orabpel\system\classes\oracle\tip\adapter\ftp\inbound
3. Copy the following files
FileSource.class, PollWork.class, FTPSource.class
from the patch to
$O_H\integration\orabpel\system\classes\oracle\tip\adapter\file\inbound\FileSource.class
$O_H\integration\orabpel\system\classes\oracle\tip\adapter\file\inbound\PollWork.class
$O_H\integration\orabpel\system\classes\oracle\tip\adapter\ftp\inbound\FTPSource.class
4. Restart OC4J_BPEL
Cheers,
Anirudh Pucha

File size restriction on FTP Adapter (GET)

A customer has deployed a BPEL process that we had created that uses the FTP Adapter to download (GET) files. The customer is reporting that when they try to download a large file (about 800 MB in size), the process does not seem to kick in for more than one hour. At this point I don't know how good or bad the network speed is and how long a FTP download will take for a file of that size. But before looking into that, wanted to know if there is any restriction on how big a file can be for it to be downloaded by the BPEL FTP Adapter. If not, is there some way to find out what is wrong with the downloading or to know to progress of the FTP GET?
The user guide talks about increasing the value of transaction-config timeout in server.xml for the File Adapter. Is this applicable for FTP Adapter also and will it work if I increase this?
Thanks in advance for your attention.
Jay

Thanks for the pointer. The processes are deployed on a 10.1.3.5 instance.
Of the info I found in that article, only the following seemed applicable:
53.2.1 Setting Audit Levels from Oracle Enterprise Manager for Large Payload Processing
I can ask the customer to turn off auditing if it is on. But I am skeptical that this will resolve this issue.
The following seem to be applicable only to 11g version and I am not sure if they have any corresponding options in 10.1.3.5 (please let me know if I am mistaken):
1. 53.2.4 Using Adapter Support for Streaming Large Payloads
2. 53.2.6 Processing Large Documents in Oracle B2B
Section 53.3.1 Opaque Schema for Processing Large Payloads says the following:
There is a limitation when you use an opaque schema for processing large payloads. The entire data for the opaque translator is converted to a single Base64-encoded string. An opaque schema is generally used for smaller data. For large data, use the attachments feature instead of the opaque translator.
Based on your experience, has the FTP Adapter ever been used to download files of 800MB or larger size on a 10.1.3.5 instance? I would like to know if there is any insurmountable system limitation with this approach or is it just a question of proper configuration or is this a bug that the FTP adapter product team can look at. I assume the attachment feature is not available in 10.1.3.5.
The remaining sections don't seem applicable to the the customer scenario.
Can you please explain what ODI is?
Appreciating your input,
Jay

Does Interconnect FTP Adapter support SFTP/SSH?

Does Interconnect FTP Adapter support SFTP/SSH?
Thanks!
-mb

No it doesn't!
Actually, FTP adapter in BPEL support secure FTP (FTPS, FTP over SSL), but only on Solaris platform if believe documentation.
You can try to connect BPEL FTP adapter to InterConnect using new JCA adapter (in IC 10.1.2.0.2), but I'm not sure wether BPEL FTP adapter is JCA-compatable or not (since it is not in Oracle AS adapters package but inside BPEL)...

Q: ftp adapter local storage

My dba is asking how much space he should allocate on what file system for intermediate storage used by the BPEL ftp adapter. Does the ftp adapter uses local disk storage to temporarily stage inbound or outbound files for processing? If so, where?
BTW: Our host OS is Solaris.
Thanks,
-Scott K.

Can anyone let me know how to enforce the XSD validation in the adapter. As of now only the structure of the message is being checked.
