How to process large input CSV file with File adapter

Hi,
could someone recommend me the right BPEL way to process the large input CSV file (4MB or more with at least 5000 rows) with File Adapter?
My idea is to receive data from file (poll the UX directory for new input file), transform it and then export to one output CSV file (input for other system).
I developed my process that consists of:
- File adapter partnerlink for read data
- Receive activity with checked box to create instance
- Transform activity
- Invoke activity for writing to output CSV.
I tried this with small input file and everything was OK, but now when I try to use the complete input file, the process doesn't start and automatically goes to OFF state in BPEL console.
Could I use the MaxTransactionSize parameter as in DB adapter, should I batch the input file or other way could help me?
Any hint from you? I've to solve this problem till this thursday.
Thanks,
Milan K.

This is a known issue. Martin Kleinman has posted several issues on the forum here, with a similar scenario using ESB. This can only be solved by completely tuning the BPEL application itself, and throwing in big hardware.
Also switching to the latest 10.1.3.3 version of the SOA Suite (assuming you didn't already) will show some improvements.

Two senders and One receiver for File to SOAP scenario

Dear Friends,
I got a new requirement like we have a to different ECC systems from there they will send the Two different Files to XI, XI will send the same file to receiver, but we have only one receiver.
for soap adapter purpose they provided only one webservice url.
Please suggest me how to do multiple senders and single receiver.

Extract BPEL process from the JAR file deployed to BPEL Server

Hello All-
We have a BPEL process deployed in our production environment but unfortunately we do not have a back-up copy in our test environment.
I got the BPEL deployment JAR file from the production server but I am unable to extract the BPEL Process as well as the XSL file.
I used WINRAR to extract but it was showing that the JAR file is not a valid archive. We need the prod deployed version of the XSL as well as the BPEL process for a change and we are unable to proceed.
If anybody has faced similar kind of issue, please let me know how can it be resolved. Also please let me know if there are any tools which can extract the files.
PLease note that we are on BPEL 10.1.2.0.2
Appreciate your help and thanks in advance.
Thanks,
Dibya

Hi Dibya
jar -xvf <filename> will work as others said.
However, please make sure you have another TEST/DEV Environment running in par with PROD.
Always, suggested to test first on the TEST/DEV Env for applying any new patches/config changes...then appropriately migrate to actual PROD Environments.
Also, always take a complete backup before you do some R&D on the SOA server.

Csv file processing using external table

Dear All,
Our database is oracle 10g r2 and OS is solaris
We would receive csv files to a particular directory on server each day.
File Format look like:
H00,SOURCE_NAME,FILE_CREATED_DATE
RECORD_TYPE,EMP_ID,EMP_NAME,EMP_DOB(DDMMYYYY),EMP_HIRE_DATE(DDMMYYYY),EMP_LOCATION
T00,RECORD_COUNT
EMPLOYEE TABLE STRUCTURE
EMP_ID NOT NULL NUMBER ,
EMP_NAME NOT NULL VARCHAR2(10) ,
EMP_DOB DATE,
EMP_HIRE_DATE NOT NULL DATE,
EMP_LOCATION VARCHAR2(80)
Sample File:
H00,ABC,21092013
"R01",1,"EMP1","14021986","06072010","LOC1"
"R01",20000000000,"EMP2","14021-987","06072011",""
,***,"EMPPPPPPPPPPP3","14021988","060**012","LOC2"
"R01",4,4,"14021989","06072013",
T00,4
we need to validate each record excluding header and trailer for:
DATATYPE, LENGTH,OPTIONALITY, and other date validations such as EMP_HIRE_DATE can not be less than EMP_DOB
In case of any data errors we need to send a response file for corresponding source file.
we have predefined error codes to be sent in the response file.
ERR001 EMP_ID can not be null
ERR002 EMP_ID exceeds 10 digits
ERR003 EMP_ID is not a number
ERR004 EMP_NAME has to be text
ERR005 EMP_NAME length can not exceed 10
ERR006 EMP_NAME can not be null
ERR007 EMP_DOB is not a date
ERR008 EMP_DOB is not in ddmmyyyy format
ERR009 EMP_HIRE_DATE is not a date
ERR010 EMP_HIRE_DATE is not in ddmmyyyy format
ERR011 EMP_HIRE_DATE can not be null
ERR012 EMP_LOCATION has to be text
ERR013 EMP_LOCATION length can not exceed 80
ERR014 EMP_HIRE_DATE can not be less than EMP_DOB
ERR015 Field missing in the record
ERR016 More number of fields than allowed
1.Do I need to create external table before processing each file.(EMP1.txt,EMP2.txt)?
2.How to generate these error codes in case of respective failure scenarios and to log into an exception table?
3.response file needs to have entire record and a concatination of all the error codes in the next line.
4.what would be a better approach among
creating an external table with all char(2000) fields and writing a select statement
such as select * from ext_table where (emp id is not null and length(emp_id)<=10 and....to select only proper data);
or creating the external table to be same as employee table and creating a bad file? if this is the preferred how can I generate the custom error codes?
Could you please help me in achieving this!
Warm Regards,
Shankar.

You can do a one-time creation of an external table. After that, you can either overwrite the existing text file or alter the location. In the example below I have split your original sample file into two files, in order to demonstrate altering the location. You can make the external table all varchar2 fields as large as they need to be to accommodate all possible data. If you then create a staging table and rejects table of the same structure, you can create a trigger on the staging table such that, when you insert from the external table to the staging table, it inserts into either the employee table or rejects table with the concatenated error list. If you want this in a file, then you can just spool a select from the rejects table or use some other method such as utl_file. The following is a partial example. Another alternative would be to use SQL*Loader to load directly into the staging table without an external table.

Processing Several Records in a CSV File

Hello Experts!
I'm currently using XI to process an incoming CSV file containing Accounts Payable information. The data from the CSV file is used to call a BAPI in the ECC (BAPI_ACC_DOCUMENT_POST). Return messages are written to text file. I'm also using BPM. So far, I've been able to get everything to work - financial documents are successfully created in the ECC I also receive the success message in my return text file.
I am, however, having one small problem... No matter how many records are in the CSV file, XI only processes the very first record. So my question is this: Why isn't XI processing all the records? Do I need a loop in my BPM? Are there occurrence settings that I'm missing? I kinda figured XI would simply process each record in the file.
Also, are there some good examples out there that show me how this is done?
Thanks a lot, I more than appreciate any help!

Matthew,
First let me explain the BPM Steps,
Recv--->Transformation1->For-Each Block->Transformation2->Synch Call->Container(To append the response from BAPI)->Transformation3--->Send
Transformation3 and Send must be outside Block.
Transformation1
Here, the source and target must be same. I think you must be know to split the messages, if not see the below example
Source
<MT_Input>
<Records>
<Field1>Value1</Field1>
<Field2>Value1</Field2>
</Records>
<Records>
<Field1>Value2</Field1>
<Field2>Value2</Field2>
</Records>
<Records>
<Field1>Value3</Field1>
<Field3>Value3</Field3>
</Records>
</MT_Input>
Now , I need to split the messages for each Records, so what I can do?
In Message Mapping, choose the source and target as same and in the Messages tab, choose the target occurrence as 0..Unbounded.
Now,if you come to Mapping tab, you can see Messages tag added to your structure, and also you can see <MT_Input> occurrence will be changed to 0..unbounded.
Here is the logic now
Map Records to MT_INPUT
Constant(empty) to Records
Map rest of the fields directly. Now your o/p looks like
<Messages>
<Message1>
<MT_Input>
<Records>
<Field1>Value1</Field1>
<Field2>Value1</Field2>
</Records>
</MT_Input>
<MT_Input>
<Records>
<Field1>Value2</Field1>
<Field2>Value2</Field2>
</Records>
</MT_Input>
<MT_Input>
<Records>
<Field1>Value3</Field1>
<Field3>Value3</Field3>
</Records>
</MT_Input>
</Message1>
</Messages>

How to design multiple file polling BPEL process?

Hi all,
I am trying to solve/design the following in BPEL process:
- The integration process flow I am trying to design is an interaction b/n system A (FTP server), an Integration platform and system B.
- The integration platform will poll files from an internal FTP server. It has 2 Time files (“Time1” and “Time2”) alternatives to poll from the FTP server. It will then transform the message/information inside the files (time information) to an internal XML format. At the end it shall send the message to system B.
- The information inside the files is identical. The reason to have 2 files with identical information is for redundancy. The integration-platform shall only poll file “TIME1” as long as the conditions are met. If the conditions are not met, then it polls file “Time2”.
Normal succeeded scenario:
1- The integration platform polls the latest “Time1” file from the internal FTP server. The polling is done every 15th minute.
2- The integration platform logs to BAM and reports that the file is received.
3- The platform then converts the message to an internal format.
4- The platform sends the converted message/time information to system B.
5 - The use-case ends.
Not normal scenario:
1- The platform cannot get/receive file “Time1” file.
- The platform logs to BAM and reports that the file could not be received.
- The platform polls file “Time2” from the FTP server and it does the same normal scenario as above. The use case ends.
2 - Time message/information from the Time1 file has not full information (less than 24 rows). The file is supposed to have 24 rows (for 24 hours).
- The platform logs to BAM and reports that there is missing information on the message.
- The platform gets/polls instead the “Time2” file from the FTP server and it does the normal scenario.
- The use case ends.
3- The platform can find/get neither file “Time1” nor “Time2”.
- The platform alarms to BAM that it could not get/find the files.
** I am considering either the pick activity or the switch activity solution. Does any one of you have an idea how to design this in oracle BPEL process?
Thanks.

Not sure I understand your use case completly so if I'm off track I apploigise.
I think there are 3 ways to solve this. The 3rd may be closest to what you are looking for.
1. Have 2 processes that read into a common area, e.g. database where you can compare. From there you can choose which file to pick. This is high leve but I think this would be dificult to implement.
2. Implement a combination of a rejectedMessage handler and error processing witn the BPEL process itself. The rejecte message handler can call another BPEL process if the time1 file is in a invalid state. This process will then read the time2 file. The issue with this is that the rejecte message handler will only get invoked when the file doesn't conform to the schema.
3. Use the quarts scheduler whcih invokes a BPEL process every 15 miniutes. Using the file adapter to perform a synchronous read to read time1, analyse it, if it fails read time2 using synchronous read. Then perform the approprate action id this fails.
hope this give some ideas.

How to read values from Property file into BPEL process local variable?

I would like to use a Property file with some parameters e.g.
<myparm1>12345</myparm1>
How can I read from a BPEL process such a Property file and assign it into e.g. local variable "intparm1"?
Where (in which directory) should I put this XML Property file to have it always available for reading?
Peter

Hi,
You can also use
ora:readFile( ) function as follow :
ora:readFile(xml file location (ex. "file:///D:\\SOA\\FileAdapters\\readFile\\test\\test.xml"),xsd file location (ex."file:///D:\\SOA\\FileAdapters\\readFile\\test\\test.xsd"))
inside the assign activity and assign this to the variable you want.

How many different way can we call a BPEL process

Hi Guys,
How many ways can we call a BPEL process
I know 3 ways
1 ) Thru PLSQL 2) using Java API 3) From another BPEL Process.
are there any other ways .... if so what are they ..... .
Thanks

Hi Tom,
your normal BPEL process (a regular process you create with the "new BPEL process" wizard), can be configured in Oracle application server to be accessible
- via SOAP over HTTP or
- via JMS
since it is has a WSDL based service interface.
JDeveloper as well allows additionally more options for starting a BPEL process such as a file based interface, an e-mail as a starter etc.
Still, I like to see the ESB as a virtualizer of the endpoint protocol, so I suggest you model the BPEL process regularly, exposing its functionality through WSDL and use ESB services that wrap your BPEL process to deal with the actual endpoints.
Cheers,

Replace String in csv file with file adapter content conversion

Hello experts,
I have a sender file channel to receive csv files from an external server. I can process the csv files but I have a little problem. Since the separator in the csv file is a comma and sometimes a comma also appears in the dates but this time it is not a separator.
Example:
1234,20120123,ABCD,customer, which has a comma in it's name,...
5678,20120123,FGHI,customer without comma,...
My plan is to remove all commas when a blank follows.
My current content conversion looks like this:
Record.fieldNames field1,field2,...
Record.fieldSeparator ,
Record.endSeparator 'nl'
Is there something like Record.fieldReplaceString or something similar which I can use? Or is there perhaps a better way to do this?
I'd appreciate every help I can get here.
Best regards.
Oliver.

Hi Oliver,
I think I've got a solution for you, after all. All you need to do is have your customer name enclosed in quotes, like that:
1234,20120123,ABCD,"customer, which has a comma in it's name",...
Use the rest of FCC configuration as usually. You might also want to have a look at this wiki entry for a configuration example:
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/XI/FileContentConversion
Moreover, see the description for "NameA.enclosureSign" in the help document below:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwpi71/helpdata/en/44/6830e67f2a6d12e10000000a1553f6/frameset.htm
Hope this helps,

File adapter SyncRead Operation adds "???" to first record of csv file

Hi All,
One interface is reading one CSV file (containing two fields only) using SyncRead Operation of File Adapter. But I found, when file adapter parsed the data it appends "???" to first field of the first record which cause further data validation in the process.
Test.csv file
123456,159357
147258,987654
Trace of the FileAdapter:
<messages>
<Invoke_FILE_Inbound_InputVariable>

Can anyone help me to understand , what is reason? Or I missed anything.
Thanks & Regards,

Unfortunately, this is documented bahaviour (solution/workaround anyone?!):
Elapsed Time Exceeds:
Specify a time which, when exceeded, causes a new outgoing file to be created.
Note:
The Elapsed Time Exceeds batching criteria is evaluated and a new outgoing file is created, only when an invocation happens.
For example, if you specify that elapsed time exceeds 15 seconds, then the first message that is received is not written out, even after 15 seconds, as batching conditions are not valid. If a second message is received, then batching conditions become valid for the first one, and an output file is created when the elapsed time exceeds 15 seconds.

How to share schemas between BPEL-processes?

Hello everyone!
I'm trying to build a simple BPEL-SOA-like application using Oracle SOA Suite. How can I share these schemas between the different processes?
For example I have a "main" BPEL process which receives a customer as input and later has to pass this customer on to some other Web Service. As they should both use the same data structure (I created a XML schema definition, complextype), I'd like to know how one would share this structure between the two processes.
Or do I really have to copy the .xsd-files to every process and include it there or define the types inline? But then I'd to use the same namespace overall, because the types wouldn't be compatible otherwise.
Thanks for any hints and best-practices!
Jan.

If you want to have a generic xsd that you can use
for multiple purposes in several independent
processes (not calling each other) you can either put
the xsd in each of them or put it on a website where
bpel can download them. Since Oracle AS comes with
Oracle HTTP server, you can put it into its htdocs or
create a virtual name server for it.I tried to make it accessible via HTTP and then imported it in the BPEL process' XSD-file. But unfortunately, then BPEL Console is not able to create a valid payload-message. The form with the input fields is displayed correctly, but the XML is empty! When I use inline-defined types, everything works fine!
If you want to use some types in dependent process
(that calls the master process), there is no need to
do this, just create partnerlink and JDeveloper will
create an import for you in bpel project. Then you
can create variables of those types. In this
scenario, putting the same xsd with the same target
namespace is not recommended, as you could run into
weird errors (for example if one xsd changed without
synchronizing the other one) or it might work.I don't really understand how this should work. Let's say I have process A and process B. Process A defines "AProcessRequest" in file A.xsd. In this type, I want to use for example the type "Customer". Process B also has to use the Customer-type in its "BProcessRequest" ... or should I rather define the types in the A.wsdl? I'm a bit lost here, sorry ;-)
Thanks and greets,
Jan.

Sender "Mail" adapter - CSV file attachment

Hi there
I'm looking for some help in configuring a sender mail adapter that receives ".csv" files. I did read some blogs that mention using the "PayloadSwapBean" module to read the mail attachment instead of the mail content. My problem is to now convert the ".csv" file into a message. Is there a module that I can use ( is it the "MessageTransfomBean" ) and how. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Salil

Hi Salil,
If you want to send a mail with a body and attachments, the message sender HAS to provide an XI message with attachments. I doubt a CSV file does justice.
As Renjith said you need to convert CSV to XmL.
A short description about the Standard Modules:
MessageTransformationBean is a standard module used to apply the XSLT mapping to the adapter module by using Transform.class ( This xslt mapping is done to create a mail package, Dont confuse with the actual mapping in your case this is NOT for converting csv to xml).
Also this module can be used to change the name and type of payloads by using Transform.contentType, Transform.contentDisposition, Transform.contentDescription.
PayloadSwapbean is a standard module for replacing payloads with other payloads (SWAP)
If you want to give each attachment a certain name use Parameters, swap.keyname for name of the payload and swap.keyvalue.
I Hope the use of standard modules is understood.
