Capability of FTP adapter (PI 7.1 ehp1)

Hi Experts,
Is it possible for the FTP adapter to pick up some files (flat file) without using File Content Conversion and then send it to another system and write that file but some contents will be changed?
Ex.
from system A (using FTP)
AAAA.:.BBBB.:.CCCC.:.DDDD.:.EEEE.:.FFFF.:.GGGG
to system B (using FTP)
AAAA.:.XXXX.:.CCCC.:.DDDD.:.EEEE.:.FFFF.:.GGGG
if its possible how can this be done in PI 7.1 ehp1?
Regards,
R-jay

There is no additional feature added in file adapter in PI 7.1 for reading flat files. The standard way is still FCC as in earliar versions. Otherwise you need to create adapter module to read the file.

How to set file permission using Oracle FTP Adapter

Hi,
I am using Oracle SOA Suite 11.1.1.4. I am trying to put a file using Oracle FTP adapter on unix box. The file that gets written to target system has file permission as RW/R/R. But this is a legacy system, and for them to consume this file - they expect the file permission to be RW/RW/R.
They have set the .profile with the required permissions for the ftp user account that we are using. But still when my BPEL process writes a file to unix box through ftp adapter, the file permission is RW/R/R.
Is there any way to control file permissions while writing files using ftp adapter? Any help would be highly appreciated.

But these setting needs to be done on unix server. Yes, that's the way to go... There's no config for that on FtpAdapter as far as I know...
This setting will enable the same configurations for all other ftp accounts on the server, which doesnt sound correct. Any other way of doing this? Or can this be done only for one ftp account?You have to check if your ftp server is capable of having different umask for different ftp users... I believe most do not...

Jca Ftp Adapter - XA support

Hi,
I have requirement to move files between two ftp servers. I have implemented this using OSB services configured with jca ftp adapter. After reading the files from the source system the adapter is configured to delete the file from source directory. While moving the files if the target system is unreachable the transaction should roll back and the file should remain in the source directory.
Can this be achievable using jca ftp adapter. Does ftp adapter have XA capability?
Thanks,
Sai.

OSB's ftp transport is transactional on the inbound side ( proxy service side) .. So you could use this.. Make sure you are not configuring any reply actions in any of the error handlers.. When route error occurs make sure the error is allowed to propagate back to the system error handler.. .
By default osb's ftp transport will retry only once and then move the file to the error directory. If you want to change this behaviour say retry infinitely or retry after a delay , you have to change the dleivery failure settings for the internal JMS queue WLSAdmin Console --> JMSModules --> jmsResources --> wlsb.internal.transport.task.queue.ftp_auto_2 ( wlsb.internal.transport.task.queue.ftp_auto_3 and so on) Delivery Failure and change redelivery delay and redelivery limit.
Note OSB's ftp transport is not transactional outbound(business service) , so you might get only "At-least once" (and not "exactly-once") quality of service using this ..

FTP Adapter: Inbound and Outbound flat files

Having lots of trouble trying to Send messages (via Subscribe event) with my FTP adapter, with this specific error:
Thu May 12 11:39:10 MDT 2005: Bridge { agent=oracle.oai.agent.client.AgentImpl@2f48d2 application=PAGOFTPAPP partition=null active=true #d3ls=1 } cannot handle OAI message of type newFacility.
I am successfully processing my flat file messages into OAI (via Publish event) and they are being properly written to the OAI_HUB_QUEUE. The message gets all the way to the Bridge, which posts the above error. Can anyone tell me how the Bridge attempts to determine what to do with the messages?
In creating the subscribe event I specified my desired D3L file as the application view, before doing the mapping. I then tried creating mappings at both the top (struct via ObjectCopy) and granular (fields via CopyFields) levels, and always get the same error.
Under "Modify Fields" for the subscribe event I confirmed that ota.isDL3=true and ota.d3lPath points to the D3L XML file that I used to specify the application view (and incidentally is the same one used to process the files that I am processing with the Publish event). I'm trying to get up to speed with OAI and my first test is simply to read in a tab-delimited file and turn around and write it back out to the same structure (but of course to a different target directory).
Much thanks for any assistance anyone can offer! Due to some kind of administrative hiccup we seem to have lost our iTAR capability and it's taking forever to get it back (of course at the worst possible time...)
Richard

Richard,
Not sure if you have found a way around this problem yet, but it sounds like you may have a mismatch bewteen iStudio and your D3L XML that's used to define and transform the message.
In the XML, name should be set to your iStudio defined 'event name', object should be set to the 'business object' and the type should be set to related 'App Data Type'.
As an example of a subscribed event
Subscribe(GLCosts.maintain_costs)
using an ADT called CostRecord...it's a good idea to name your message the same as the type when defining the Application view using the Subscribe Wizard, i.e. don't manually change anything.
So your message header in the D3L XML would look like this:
<message name="maintain_costs" type="CostRecord" object="GLCosts">

Error while deploying a process with FTP Adapter

Hi All,

Getting filename in FTP Adapter in BPEL

How to retrieve the filename read by the FTP adapter in ora-bpel?

Just figured out how to do this.
1. Create a variable of type 'InboundHeader_msg' defined in 'ftpAdapterInboundHeader.wsdl'.
2. Reference this in the 'Adapters' tab of the FTP adapter receive activity.

Getting filename in FTP Adapter in ESB

I am trying to get the filename on an inbound FTP adapter in an ESB. I've followed the directions I have found, by following these steps:
1. The namespace xmlns:ehdr="http://www.oracle.com/XSL/Transform/java/oracle.tip.esb.server.headers.ESBHeaderFunctions" is automatically generated in the xsl file.
2. Create a variable in the xsl file, with value ehdr:getRequestHeader('/fhdr:InboundFileHeaderType/fhdr:fileName','fhdr=http://xmlns.oracle.com/pcbpel/adapter/file/;'). Let's give it the name INFILENAME.
3. Reference the variable in some expression in the xsl file: $INFILENAME
4.Set UseHeaders="true" in the FTP inbound wsdl file
When I do this in a file adapter, I can use the value. When I do this in an ftp adapter, no value comes back.
Any ideas?

Yes, that did it, thanks. I had a typo:
getRequestHeader('/fhdr:InboundFtpHeaderType/fhdr:fileName,'fhdr=http://xmlns.oracle.com/pcbpel/adapter/ftp/;')
which should have had "FTP" in upper case. The correct code is as you stated:
getRequestHeader('/fhdr:InboundFTPHeaderType/fhdr:fileName,'fhdr=http://xmlns.oracle.com/pcbpel/adapter/ftp/;')

Retaining the FileName in the Receiver FTP adapter

Hi experts,
I have a situation here, were i need to retain the FileName in the message header in the receiver FTP adapter.
I have tried using variable subtitution but seems the FileName is not supported in variable substitution.
Please help
Thanks

Hello,
if you need file name to be retained in the receiver adapter from the sender side. then u can do that by dynamic configuration using adapter specific message attributes, check this blog for details-
/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/11/10/xi-the-same-filename-from-a-sender-to-a-receiver-file-adapter--sp14
if you dont have a mapping in your interface to use dynamic configuration, then you can do it via adapter module also- have a look here, /people/sap.user72/blog/2005/07/15/copy-a-file-with-same-filename-using-xi

Using relative path for in file/ftp adapter

Hi All,
How to have a relative path for file/ ftp adapter's inbound/outbound operation?
Example: Consider $ORA_HOME = /home/oracle --> This environment variable can be different on different machines
i want to drop a file in to $ORA_HOME/folder1/folder2 (Or poll for a file).
<partnerLinkBinding name="FTP">
<property name="wsdlLocation">FTP.wsdl</property>
<property name="out_dir" type="LogicalDirectory">What do i write here???</property>
<property name="retryInterval">60</property>
</partnerLinkBinding>
if i cant configure this in partner link section or in activation agent sction, how else do i achieve this?
i am using 10.1.3.* version.
Thanks in advance.
Roshan.

You can achive it using the deployment scripts if the directory is changing on the basis of the environment
If you want to change at run time than you can use the jca properties to set using the variables at runtime.

Ajay

Need Help on FTP Adapter Archival Process

Hi Guru's,
I implemented FTP Adapter for Inbound Operation to read the file from inbound directory and after reading the file should be archived in Archival Directory and Delete the file from directory from inbound directory.
In my case file is successfully picked from inbound directory and records inserted in to database table. File is not Archiving in Archival Folder and File deleted from Inbound Directory. Here I need to Archive the files in Archival Folder.
Thanks in Advance
Could you please help me in this regard and Please provide pointers to me

<property name="UseRemoteArchive" value="true"/>
Set this property to "true" to notify the Oracle FTP Adapter that the archival directory is on the same FTP server. If set to "false", the Oracle FTP Adapter uses a local file system folder for archival.

Process TIFF file from FTP server using File/FTP adapter

Hi,
I have a requirement to process a scanned document TIFF file from a directory on an FTP server using the File/FTP adapter and process through XI into a Web Service via a receiver SOAP adapter.
My question is can the file/FTP adapter be used to process the TIFF file into XI from an FTP server ? Also, what settings need to be made on the file adapter to allow this file to be processed into XI ?
Thanks in advance
Colin

hi colin,
TIFF is type of image file, it can be converted to binary using java mapping

FTP Adapter - ModificationTimeFormat -issue

We are using FTP adapter to poll a file from FTP server. We neither have an option to delete or archive files from that FTP remote server hence we are using "FileModificationTime" option. When we use this option, polling adapter errors out with ---

The FTP server you're connecting to does not understnad the MDTM command the FTP adapter is configured to use in order to obtain the files date/time:

Issue with SAP PI FTP Adapter

Hi All,
We are seeing an issue with the FTP Adapter Communication Channel in SAP PI 7.1. When the communication channel is connecting to a FTP Server and if the connection request timeout ( ex: SFTP Server down ) we see a connection error .
However the overall communciation channel status doesnot refelct it and it is still in GREEN status. The status being wrong doesnt raise an adapter CCMS alert. Also we are seeing that the communication channel stops all connection attempts after the failure for that communication channel.
Wanted to check if anyone has seen or encountered the issue and how did you get past the problem.
Thanks in advance..
Arunava

Hi,
Could you please let me know whether it is sender communication channel or receiver ?
Also please check below.
1. Java messaging system queues are free or hanged ?
2. Please mention time out paramter in the channel.
3. Did you try Start/Stop the channel.
Please get back to me.
Regards,
Sachin

Problem with FTP Adapter in creating a new Folder

Hi all,
I have a requirement in which a BPEL process shud create a folder named as sysdate dynamically and write a
CSV file into that.(ex: PO/2010-03-09/PO_1.csv).I created a header variable for Oubound FTP adapter and
passing the file directory as concat('PO/',xp20:current-date(),'/') to outbound header directory variable.Problem is FTP
adapter is not creating the sysdate folder its says:1.check u have privileges 2.file name is too long....Blah....Blah.
But i have all the privileges for that user.If i manually create the sysdate folder the FTP adapter is placing the CSV
file.The same works fine with file adapter...but i need to use FTP since the FTP server can change in future.Seems to
be a problem with FTP adapter....can some one help.
Iam using SOA 10.1.3.4

Need help with a simple process with FTP Adapter and File Adapter

I am trying out a simple BPEL process that gets a file in opaque mode from a FTP server using a FTP adapter and writes it to the local file system using a File Adapter. However, the file written is always empty (zero bytes). I then tried out the FTPDebatching sample using the same FTP server JNDI name and this work fine surprisingly. I also verified by looking at the FTP server logs that my process actually does hit the FTP server and seems to list the files based on the filtering condition - but it does not issue any GET or RETR commands to actually get the files. I am suspecting that the problem could be in the Receive, Assign or Invoke activities, but I am not able identify what it is.
I can provide additional info such as the contents of my bpel and wsdl files if needed.
Would appreciate if someone can help me with this at the earliest.
Thanks
