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.

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" ?>

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

Thanks Everybody for the prompt response .

Thanks for your reply.
I used the character set as you suggested.But it is not getting converted correctly.
Actual Value : (유)라이프테크놀로지스코리아
Converted Value : ( $)C @/ ) 6s@LGAEWE)3n7NAv=:DZ8.>F
I tried all others that are mentioned in the document. Still i am seeing different values. I am not getting the actual value.
But in BPEL i see correct value getting passed to FTP Adapter.
The character set is in XSD. Please find it below..

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.
Thanks,

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

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 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 poller issue

Hi All,
BPEL 10.1.3.4 - 2 Nodes
I have a BPEL FTP poller which polls and initiates new process.
Since we have two nodes, its creating two instances very time we drop the file.
How do I prevent the duplication or make the poller work in only one node?
Thanks,
Ravi

Hi Ravi,
You have to make adapter singleton to prevent this race condition.
Have a look at this link

Maybe you know ftp error but i will post in here anyways.
The 550 error is a message from the server stating that the account you have currently logged in as does not have permission to perform the action you are attempting. You may be trying to upload to the wrong directory or trying to delete a file
I dont know exactly if it is a bug or a problem with permission on the ftp side. but i think that the folder that is containing the files, does not have permission to read (weird because you can retreive files). Also another problem is that the account does not have put priviliges and you are using it in another process to upload files.

BPEL DB Adapter issue

i have the following issue with the db adapter in BPEL designer JDeveloper 10.1.2.0.2
I'm trying to read records from an gupta sqlbase database. I'm getting to the import tables wizard screen and i can select the table i want to query. However when i return to the "adapter configuration wizard - select table" screen i get the following error:
oracle.jdeveloper.cm.ds.db.DBException: java.sql.SQLException: 00601 DIC ITN Table has not been created
i've tried the workaround of trying to create an manual ofline table, but it does not seem to work.
I get the same error when i try to browse the tables via the connections navigator in jdeveloper.
Any suggestions ?

after manualy creating the toplink mappings and java file and offline table, i am able to run the wizard and create a working db adapter.
quite a chore when you got a table with 100+ columns.

Seeburger ftp adapter issue

Hi there,
We have the following scenario. We want to get EDI 861 via ftp from our partner to XI to our R3. The challenge we are facing is getting started with seeburger adapters. We looked into seeburger ftp/van adapter. We are not using VAN. Is it possible to configure this adapter in sender communication channel for our scenario? We tried it, but we are stuck at choosing the message protocol, because we get only the VAN supported message protocols from the drop down menu.
Our goal is to get the EDI 861 from our partner via ftp, parse it to XML representation, map the xml to equvalent IDOC and send it to our R3. Is there a seeburger adapter that receives the edi and parses it into? If yes, how do we go about to solve this issue. Right now, we are not able to configure the adapter right so that we could get the edi flat file via ftp and get the parsed edi xml in xi moni.
Your help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,
You need to configure the AS2_MDN_Sender Communication Channel with transport protocol is AS2 and Message protocol is Reports.

Ramesh

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 .

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 .

BPEL Database Adapter Issue

I am using DB adapter in my bpel for polling purpose. so that if any new entry comes in the db in a specific table it will execute my bpel. and in DB adapter I made configuration for sequence file. but whatever value I enter in the table my sequence file is updated with value "32477". can any body help in this regards.

Well this happened on the production so we don't really have the scope of testing this again. Also it has not happened before anywhere else.
This version is Oracle application Server 10g (10.1.3.5).

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
