BPEL PM File Adapter

Hi ALL,
While polliing for a file, other than Physical Location there is Logical Location.
What is that and how is it used.
thanks

Physical and logical locations are the same thing, it is just a different way of defining the location.
Logical locations is generally considered better practice as you can change the location on the fly without having to redeploy. Logical also requires a little bit more configuration. When you specify a logical location you specify a name. You then need to go into the bpel.xml and edit it with the location you desire. Where as in a physical location all you do is specifiy the location in the adapter wizrad.
cheers

  • How to store the rejected messages in bpel using file adapter

    Hi all,
    I am using the file adpter to read the text file.In file some bad messages are there.
    now i can read the correct data.but i can't view rejected messages.
    if im not using "rejectedmessagehandler" , but it is stored in default directory.
    In my application,correct messages are reading but bad messages are not stored in default directory.
    pls can you help on that rejected messages store

    Hi
    You have to define rejectedMessageHandlers in activation agent part of ur fileadpater in bpel.xml.
    ex:
    *<activationAgent*
    className="oracle.tip.adapter.fw.agent.jca.JCAActivationAgent"
    partnerLink="UrPartnerLinkName">
    *<property name="rejectedMessageHandlers">*
    file://YourFolderStructure (Where you want to save your rejected messages... Only folder structure)
    *</property>*
    *</activationAgent>*
    If u have any rejected messages those will be written to a file named as INVALID_MSG_ + process-name + operation-name + current-time in the above structure

  • ESB or BPEL file adapter and special characters

    Hi,
    We have a scenario where we import rows from .csv file through an ESB project into a database. We use the file adapter for this. There appears to be a problem with special characters (like é). Both in the ESB control (with variable tracking) and in the database, they appear as upside down questionmarks (¿). I've tried doing the same with a BPEL project (file adapter as client PL) and in the BPEL console, I also see strange characters instead of the expected special characters (diamond shaped characters, like ♦ to be precise).
    I can't find anything about character sets of character set conversions in the documentation. What am I missing?
    Regards,
    Arjan

    see
    http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B31017_01/inte
    grate.1013/b28994/nfb.htm#CIAEFBHHI've looked into the properties mentioned. They are set when you go through the wizard. Everything is set to UTF-8, which should provide me with all special characters I need.
    BPEL does the exact same thing, so I'm starting to believe that the problem really is with the file adapter.

  • How to find EOF in BPEL File adapter

    Hi All,
    I am using file adapter in BPEL(SOA 11G) to read a csv file. The CSV file is very large so we have are processing the files in batched of 20000 records.I am inserting the records form CSV file to a staging table and after that I am invoking a concurrent Program for further processing.This is working fine and BPEL is initiating no of instances based on the file size.
    The issue here is, I want to submit the concurrent program only once when all the records are stored in staging table, I mean to say the BPEL Process should process the file in batches and then insert them in to the staging table. Once all the records from the file are stored in the table, then only the Concurrent Program should get submitted.
    I am using DB Adapter for invoking a PL/SQL API and from there we are submitting concurrent Program.
    Please help me on this to solve this.
    Thanks!

    It is possible to register a Java Listener class, which can/will be invoked, when a last batch in the file, is read. Code for invoking the concurrent Program can be written in side this class.
    Refer to following document on how to register the Java Listener class
    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23943_01/integration.1111/e10231/adptr_file.htm#CACJBIGD
    Moreover, as an alternate to the above approach, chunk read interaction specs can be implemented along with the Sync File Read for your scenario( However,This will be a whole re-write, considering your current approach. Good News is, there is full-fledged example readily available for this in oracle docs).
    Here is the link if you would like to implement the Chunk Read.

  • File Adapter vs BPEL interaction issue on high availability environment

    Hi all,
    i would really appreciate your help on a matter i'm facing about a composite (SCA) deployed on a clustered environment configured for high availability. To help you better understand the issue i briefly describe what my composite does. Composite's instances are started by means of an Inbound File Adapter which periodically polls a directory in order to check if any file with a well defined naming convention is available. The adapter is not meant to read the file content but only its properties. Furthermore, the adapter automatically makes a backup copy of the file and doesn't delete the file. Properties read by the adapter are provided to a BPEL process which obtains them using the various "jca.file.xyz" properties (configurable in any BPEL receive activity) and stores them in some of its process variables. How the BPEL process uses these properties is irrilevant to the issue i'd like to pose to your attention.
    The just described interaction between the File Adapter and the BPEL process has always worked in other non-HA environments. The problem i'm facing is that this interaction stops to work when i deploy the composite in a clustered environment configured for high availability: the File Adapter succeeds to read the file but no BPEL process instance gets started and the composite instance gets stuck (that is, it keeps always running until you don't manually abort it!).
    Interesting to say, if I put a Mediator between the File Adapter and the BPEL, the Mediator instance gets started, that is the file's properties read by the adapter are passed to the mediator, but then the composite gets stuck again 'cos even the mediator doesn't seem to be able to initiate the BPEL process instance.
    I think the problem lies in the way i configured either the SOA infrastructure for HA or the File Adapter or BPEL process in my composite. To configure the adapter, i followed the instructions given here:
    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E14571_01/integration.1111/e10231/adptr_file.htm#BABCBIAH
    but maybe i missed something. Instead, i didn't find anything about BPEL configuration for HA with SOA Suite 11g (all the material i found refers to SOA Suite 10g).
    I've also read in some posts that for using the db as a coordinator between the file adapters deployed on the different nodes of the cluster, the db must be a RAC! Is that true or is possible to use even another type of oracle db?
    Please, let me know if someone of you has already encountered (and solved :)) a problem like this!
    Thanks in advance,
    Bye!

    Hi,
    thanks for your prompt reply. Anyway, i had already read through out that documentation and tried all settings suggested in it without any luck! I'm thinking the problem could be related to the Oracle DB used in the clustered environment, which is not RAC while all documentation i read about high availability configuration always refers to a RAC db. Anyone knows if a RAC Oracle DB is strictly needed for file adapter configuration in HA cluster?
    Thanks, bye!

  • Need  file adapter polling with read operation to be triggered by a BPEL without using synchronous read

    The scenario is:-
    Web Service Client -->input-->BPEL-->if input valid-->trigger file adapter with read operation--> receive file
    i am not able to stop the polling until it is required to trigger the polling.
    As soon as i deploy the composite the file adapter starts polling without waiting for input.
    Since i am using two receive activities, the second one which is suppose to receive file from file adapter is always showing pending state. (asynchronous callback)

    Hi there,
    IMHO the traditional read is used only as inbound operation, that means
    that it starts polling the input folder as soon as the composite gets
    deployed - which is the same you are experiencing.
    In your case you need an outbound operation that needs to be invoked at
    a certain moment. I don't know what are the reasons not to use sync
    read, but this is the only outbound read operation supported by the
    adapter. If you can not use the sync read, then you would have to design
    some custom solution where you call a web service or EJB for instance
    that reads the desired files.
    Another option I can think of, though have not use personally is using
    the adapters programatically in Java - take a look at this blog post as
    it seems related to this topic -
    https://technology.amis.nl/2012/01/22/using-the-oracle-weblogic-technology-adapters-with-custom-java-message-driven-bean-mdb-triggered-by-file-adapter-part-of-the-story/.

  • File Adapter use in BPEL

    Hi All,
    Can you please share some useful information on File Adapter? Is it possible to make use of 2 or more file adapters in a single BPEL Process.
    Scenario is:
    First to read a file from one location.
    Has to place the reaqd file in a different location.
    Club this file with other file in a differnt location, and put that clubbed/merged file in a different location.
    EX: Read from A
    Write to B ( Read another file in B and merge the file A content with in it)
    PLace the (A+B) file in location c with in a different Location.
    Is it possible to read or write a file of size more than 10 MB, how much size does a File Adapter supports? how to read or write files of more size ( more than 10 MB Size)?
    Edited by: user12679330 on Aug 3, 2010 5:35 AM

    hi',
    Read file1 copy the contents to temp_file1, then write that to locationA, in the same process do a synchronous read for file2 and copy the contents to temp_file2, now while writing the file back with contents (file1+file2) you will require a new XSD which will have mapping for both the file elements, and then you can pass the value of temp_file1 and temp_file2 to this file adapter.

  • Two Files merging using File adapter in Bpel 2.0

    Hi All,
    I have two different files (File 1 and 2) of same format(Two columns each)  , now i want to merge these two files using their data and form a consolidated file (File 3 with four columns).
    Please advise on how to make it possible using file adapter.
    Example:
    File 1 Format: A1 and A2 - are two columns of number and sring type
    File 2 Format : B1 and B2 - are two columns of number and string type
    Consolidated File 3 Format : A1 B1 A2 B2 - forming a single row if A1=B1 and also populating A2 and B2.
    Thanks
    Karthick.

    Hi Karthick,
    I would say read both files completely. Then create a transform and select both messages as an input creating one output. With XSLT it should not be too hard to combine the two inputs. You could loop on one file and then select each row from the other file. That output can be written to file.
    I don't know what triggers the process, but you could either let bpel be triggered by the polling on one file and read the other synchronously. Or read both files synchronously.

  • Using Logical Directory property in Assign File Adapter BPEL

    Hi,
    I wanted to use The Logical Directory which I created while making File Adapter in a BPEL process in 11g, in an assign activity.
    How it can be done?
    Thanks in advance
    Sharat

    I have already created a binding property for Logical Directory in Composite.xml. The thing is I want to set it through em, and check inside BPEL whether it is null or not. Only after that the File Adapter should be invoked.
    I wanted to avoid exception if the binding property is not set by the user.
    The solution lies in the word "exception" itself, just put the "invoke" activity inside a scope and on that scope attach a catch activity with "Binding Exception". If the file adapter is not able to find the file path, it will raise the excetption and "catch" will catch and inside catch I am able to put any activity which can end the process gracefully.

  • 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

    Hi Sonia
    It is not possible to achieve this using debatching. In fact, the use of the Debatching technique is appropriate when your requirement is exactly the opposed: When you need to run instances simultaneously.
    If you need to process each record sequentially, you should consider using just one instace (not using debatching and let the process reads the entire file), using a while and considering your XML as an array, processing each record as a single unit.
    If the CSV file is too big, you should consider using a process A that breaks the file into smaller files and copy sequentially the small pieces to a directory where process B is reading the entire file.

  • How to make BPEL File Adapter read only new files?

    Hello
    we have BPEL processes that define to run from bpel component - file adatper-
    when a file come into location that it is path on the linux server . the bpel start run when "File Adapter" bpel component recognize that new file come to the location. its PollingFrequency define to 5. property name="DeleteFile" value="false" so the files remaine there.
    we want to migrate the bpel to new SOA version so we did export and deploy to new SOA Domain.
    the location of the file adapter is the same.
    but when the BPEL processes deployed its start to run for all the files that are in this location- that the file adapter define on .
    even the original soa tooks those files and start the BPEL processes for each one of them. also the new SOA that we did deploy to the BPEL processes take those files even if they are very old.
    we want the file adatper we take only new files . the start point is the time when we do deploy to the process so if we do deploy in 10:00 am we dont want this bpel will take files from 9:00 or earlier time
    Please help , how we can do this?
    Thanks

    thank you
    do you kno hat the value means in the example:

    So,You have two receive activity(One for soap client and one for Read activity) and two invoke(1 for write file and 1 for reply to client).
    I think the 1st receive activity for soap client not required as you want to initiate the process while read the file.You can delete the default soap client and corresponding receive activity and check the create instance chekbox in the 2nd receive activity linked with read partnerlink.
    There is some issue with 2nd receive activity in bpel ..
