Cfolders and ftp

Hi,
To integrate cfolders with ftp, do we just need a ftp server or any other tool like OFTP is required. Also how cfolder to ftp works.
Will reward suitably.
Anirudh,

Hi Murugesh,
As you have given the steps for the integration of Cfolders and FTP. I got stuck up with a point
Things which I have done .
1] Created a USER in FTP server with the authorizations.
2] checked it by entering into "SAPFTP.EXE" .
3] Created a home directory.
After this you said in the 3rd point
3.Go to the network admin -> File storage of cFolders.
give the ip address of ur machine, basepath as "/" give the user and pwd.
4.Go to settings of user-> file storage.
activate file storage.
I would like to know is where is this network admin? is this in "A54" log on (or) where can i find this? could you please elloborate and let me know.
Regards,
Srini.

Web host, mail server and FTP.

Dear all:
I have some questions and will try to make my post a short one (although the questions aren't exactly simple). I have the need to set up my own web server, e-mail server and FTP server. It is my understanding (and I remember setting another computer I had 2 or 3 years ago this way) that OS X can be used for this without the need to have OS X server installed. I don't need (at least not for the for the immediate future) to have a server for my own local network. Basically all I need is a single computer where (1) I can host multiple web sites, (2) I can host my own e-mail that will correspond in number to the number of web sites (domain names) being hosted and (3) I can set-up as a FTP server so that my clients can log on and download files.
I have used VirtualHostX for virtual hosting as well as PureFTD Manager with good results in the past. I've also found both to be easy to use, with a good and intuitive GUI which is essential for someone with as little knowledge as I have of networking. My question now as to do with e-mail and how to set-up Mac OS X to work as an e-mail server.
Are there any applications you would suggest that would be simple to use, have a simple and intuitive user interface and also provide mailing list services along with e-mail services that you would recommend ? I've looked at a few but most of the ones I have found seem to require command line input and this is something I am not comfortable with. I need an application with a simple interface and allows things to be set-up in a straight forward manner (and preferably free instead of paid).
What would be your recommendations for this project ? Any recommendations, advice and suggestions you can offer will be very appreciated.
Thank you in advance,
Joseph

Perhaps you should give people more time to answer.
1. You do not need a DNS on your server, ask the ISP to set up the MX record as they set up the A record.
2. Not really enough information in your setup to say either way, but as it takes seconds to do and you have everything else needed - set it up anyway.
3. Domain name: mydomain.com, Host name depends what you call it. If you don't have a name why not mail.mydomain.com and make you mx record point to that name. Perhaps that is what your A record is already.

Http and ftp protocol extremely slow (pop working well though)

Hello. Starting today, on one of my macs, http and ftp protocol are extremely slow (page load 90 sec. instead of 2) (pop working well though). Provider finds nothing, on second mac all is fine (same cable, same settings … ). Cable connection, checked both sockets, changed cable, no change. Since pop3 protocol seems to work fine, this does look like a software problem to me. (Repaired permissions, no other tests or means. All used software up to date (OSX10.6.8 etc.))
I'd be thankful for any idea.

Not at all. Then I turned on NetBarrier, for testing and to avoid any damage (piece of software I don't employ in vain), and all slowed down again, but not quite as badly as before. Restarted, and now it seems back to normal with all extensions loaded. (I had done that before, obviously, and with no outcome, so it can't very well have been just that. But what?)
I'll watch and learn, and report back; unless you have any further suggestions for the moment. Either way, thankyou very much so far.

FILE and FTP Adapter file size limit

Hi,
Oracle SOA Suite ESB related:
I see that there is a file size limit of 7MB for transferring using File and FTP adapter and that debatching can be used to overcome this issue. Also see that debatching can be done only for strucutred files.
1) What can be done to transfer unstructured files larger than 7MB from one server to the other using FTP adapter?
2) For structured files, could someone help me in debatching a file with the following structure.
000|SEC-US-MF|1234|POPOC|679
100|PO_226312|1234|7130667
200|PO_226312|1234|Line_id_1

999|SSS|1234|88|158
I would need a the complete data in a single file at the destination for each file in the source. If there are as many number of files as the number of batches at the destination, I would need the file output file structure be as follows:
000|SEC-US-MF|1234|POPOC|679
100|PO_226312|1234|7130667
200|PO_226312|1234|Line_id_1

Ok Here are the steps
1. Create an inbound file adapter as you normally would. The schema is opaque, set the polling as required.
2. Create an outbound file adapter as you normally would, it doesn't really matter what xsd you use as you will modify the wsdl manually.
3. Create a xsd that will read your file. This would typically be the xsd you would use for the inbound adapter. I call this address-csv.xsd.
4. Create a xsd that is the desired output. This would typically be the xsd you would use for the outbound adapter. I have called this address-fixed-length.xsd. So I want to map csv to fixed length format.
5. Create the xslt that will map between the 2 xsd. Do this in JDev, select the BPEL project, right-click -> New -> General -> XSL Map
6. Edit the outbound file partner link wsdl, the the jca operations as the doc specifies, this is my example.
<jca:binding />
        <operation name="MoveWithXlate">
      <jca:operation
          InteractionSpec="oracle.tip.adapter.file.outbound.FileIoInteractionSpec"
          SourcePhysicalDirectory="foo1"
          SourceFileName="bar1"
          TargetPhysicalDirectory="C:\JDevOOW\jdev\FileIoOperationApps\MoveHugeFileWithXlate\out"
          TargetFileName="purchase_fixed.txt"
          SourceSchema="address-csv.xsd"
          SourceSchemaRoot ="Root-Element"
          SourceType="native"
          TargetSchema="address-fixedLength.xsd"
          TargetSchemaRoot ="Root-Element"
          TargetType="native"
          Xsl="addr1Toaddr2.xsl"
          Type="MOVE">
      </jca:operation> 7. Edit the outbound header to look as follows
    <types>
        <schema attributeFormDefault="qualified" elementFormDefault="qualified"
                targetNamespace="http://xmlns.oracle.com/pcbpel/adapter/file/"
                xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
                xmlns:FILEAPP="http://xmlns.oracle.com/pcbpel/adapter/file/">
            <element name="OutboundFileHeaderType">
                <complexType>
                    <sequence>
                        <element name="fileName" type="string"/>
                        <element name="sourceDirectory" type="string"/>
                        <element name="sourceFileName" type="string"/>
                        <element name="targetDirectory" type="string"/>
                        <element name="targetFileName" type="string"/>
                    </sequence>
                </complexType>
            </element>
        </schema>
    </types>   8. the last trick is to have an assign between the inbound header to the outbound header partner link that copies the headers. You only need to copy the sourceDirectory and SourceGileName
    <assign name="Assign_Headers">
      <copy>
        <from variable="inboundHeader" part="inboundHeader"
              query="/ns2:InboundFileHeaderType/ns2:fileName"/>
        <to variable="outboundHeader" part="outboundHeader"
            query="/ns2:OutboundFileHeaderType/ns2:sourceFileName"/>
      </copy>
      <copy>
        <from variable="inboundHeader" part="inboundHeader"
              query="/ns2:InboundFileHeaderType/ns2:directory"/>
        <to variable="outboundHeader" part="outboundHeader"
            query="/ns2:OutboundFileHeaderType/ns2:sourceDirectory"/>
      </copy>
    </assign>you should be good to go. If you just want pass through then you don't need the native format set to opaque, with no XSLT

JDBC and FTP sender channels stop polling

Hi,
We have a great volume of sender JDBC and FTP sender channels.
For this reason there is nothing unusual to have temporary error connections.
Several months ago, with an XI 3.0 system, sender channels recover its functionality automatically when temporary error connection is solved.
But now, he have migrate to a PI 7.1 sytem, and in the same scenario and configuration, sender channel stop polling after a temporary error . In cc monitor this channels remains in green status and there were no signs of stopped interfaces.
Timeouts are correctly defined and there is no difference between channel configuration in our Xi and PI system.
How to solve this problem?
Thanks, in advance.
Carme.

Thanks for your fast response, Stefan.

VRF and FTP Server

I have a weird problem with VRF and FTP Server. I have a lab setup whereby two VRFs Client1 and Client2 are created. Both the VRFs are in the same subnet. I have configured FTP-Server and TFTP-Server on this router. TFTP-Server works perfectly fine from both the networks. But for FTP-Server, I can login in to the FTP Server and authenticate positively. But when I try to do listing of directory, it gives a error "can't bind data".
The web access to this router also works perfectly fine.
Any idea why FTP fails.
Before configuring vrf, the FTP server did work fine.
Any idea why. here's the config :
interface FastEthernet0/0.371
description Client1
encapsulation dot1Q 371
ip vrf forwarding client1
ip address 10.0.1.1 255.255.255.0
interface FastEthernet0/0.372
description Client2
encapsulation dot1Q 372
ip vrf forwarding client2
ip address 10.0.1.1 255.255.255.0

Ohhhhhhhh!!!
I'm even more convinced its a passive/active problem with the ftp control channel. Did you try the gentleman's suggestion of passive ftp?? What's happening is that from a client on one vrf, you're attempting to terminate the ftp session in a router whom is in the second vrf. The ftp data session isn't vrf-aware from the sound of it, hence my question about what device models and IOS you're using.
But I agree, it's getting complicated enough that sounds like TAC-time. My bet is something isn't vrf-aware to the point that the data is lost. For instance, to ping from one device to another from _within_ a vrf router instance, you have to use the keyword "vrf" like "ping vrf VRF_Name src dest".
In your situation, your source is on one vrf while the destination is _within_ the second vrf, not just simply the IP packet being routed from vrf1-client (like a Windows PC) to vrf2-server (like a Unix ftp server).
I'd be interested in hearing their solution.

CFolders and DMS Integration

Hi,
At present we have DMS. We are going in for cFolders now.
How do we integrate cFolders and DMS? What are the pre-requisites / configurations needed?
Where can I find the related documents?
Regards,
Rajesh

Hi,
please check the cFolders configuration guide (for release 4.0, the guide is also attached in note 973764), chapter u2018cFolders Back-End Integrationu2019 or the Online Help in the SAP Help Portal under http://help.sap.com/ > SAP ERP > SAP cProject Suite > Project and Portfolio Management XX > Design Collaboration with cFolders > cFolders Functions > cFolders Back-End Integration.
For example, you can use the back-end integration for cFolders to exchange DMS documents. In the DMS system (or so-called back-end system), use transaction CFE02 to export DMS documents to cFolders and CFI01 to import documents from cFolders into DMS.
Please read the above documentations to see the system and installation requirements.
Besides creating a RFC destination in transaction sm59, you need to maintain the backend system using transaction CFC01 in the DMS system. At least one cFolders system must be defined in the customizing before backend integration can be used.
In order to allow the user to create new documents in cFolders, he/she needs write and create authorization in the relevant folder.
Regards,
Silvia

SAP XI support SFTP and FTPS?

Hi Gurus,
I would like to find out if SAP XI supports both SFTP and FTPS. If yes, how do I perform the configuration?
Thanks in advance.

Business Case:
In many implementations Business requirement is to "secure" the file/data transfer between XI and any third-party system. So there is a need of secured connection between XI/PI and any file based third-party legacy systems.
Following solutions are proposed to cater secure connection between XI/PI and any third party systems.
1) SFTP (Secure File Transfer Protocol)
"SSH File Transfer Protocol" or SFTP is a network protocol that provides file transfer and manipulation functionality over any reliable data stream. It is typically used with the SSH-2 protocol to provide secure file transfer. SFTP encrypts the session, preventing the casual detection of username, password or anything that is being transmitted. One key benefit to SFTP is its ability to handle multiple secure file transfers over a single encrypted pipe. By using a single encrypted pipe, there are fewer holes in the corporate firewall.
2) FTPS (FTP over SSL)
FTPS (FTP-SSL) is a real ftp that uses TSL/SSL to encrypt the control session and if required the data session. With FTPS, the control session is always encrypted, but the data session may not be always encrypted. FTPS is a file transport layer on top of SSL. SSL, or Secure Sockets Layer, is a method by which an encrypted u2018pipe' or tunnel is established between the FTP client and FTP server. Once the secure tunnel has been established (which is done using 128-bit encryption techniques), standard FTP is used to transfer data over the secure connection.
Feasibility of SFTP and FTPS in XI:
SFTP:
As per the latest SAP PI/XI support pack, it does not support SFTP via File Adapter.
So alternative approach to cater this requirement from XI is to make use of Unix Script at OS level to transfer the files from/to third-party systems.
Inbound Interface - i.e. third-party system ->XI->SAP:
File is transferred to a folder in SAP XI landscape from the third-party legacy system using UNIX Script with secured protocol. Once the file is ready in the XI landscape, File Adapter will poll this directory and file is picked up by NFS protocol.
Outbound Interface u2013 i.e. SAP->XI->third-party system:
XI is responsible for writing a file into a folder in the XI landscape. These files are transferred to the third-party system by executing UNIX scripts with secured protocol i.e. via sFTP.
Pre-Requisites:
Public key should be exchanged between external systems and the PI system.
UNIX shell script has to be developed and scheduled.
Advantages:
Highly Secured.
Ability to handle multiple secure file transfers over a single encrypted pipe .By using a single encrypted pipe, there are fewer holes in the corporate firewall.
Disadvantages:
Two-Step process i.e. XI>Temporary folder>External System and vice-versa
Files have to be temporarily stored in XI server.
Multiple failure points i.e. XI and Unix script execution
Maintenance of an external UNIX script.
Difficulty in monitoring the execution of the shell script as it cannot be monitored thru XI.
Need to generate keys and install it in the SFTP site as a pre-requisite i.e. SFTP clients must install keys on the server.
SFTP uses keys rather than certificates. This means that it can't take advantage of the "chains of trust" paradigm facilitated through Certificate Authorities.
Files from the XI server should be deleted/archived in a periodic manner to increase the disc space so that it will increase the performance.
Note: UNIX shell Script can be executed as a background job u2018or' can be triggered from SAP XI through OS command at File adapter level.
FTPS (File Transfer Protocol Using SSL/TLS):
This is a built-in feature of File adapter in XI. But SAP Java Cryptographic Toolkit must be deployed as a prerequisite. (Refer to note https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/821267 Question 28). By default following ports are used:
Implict FTPs 990 (Control) and 989 (Data)
Explicit FTPs 21 (Control) and 20 (Data)
Both use cases can be combined with active and passive mode.
Advantages:
Direct transfer of files to/from third-party systems. It is not required to store the files in the XI server temporarily.
Built-In feature from XI File adapter
No extra effort in development and maintenance of Unix Script.
Centralized Monitoring tool from XI
FTPS uses certificates and therefore can take advantage of "chains of trust" paradigm facilitated through Certificate Authorities. This paradigm makes it possible for two entities to establish a trust relationship without directly exchanging security information, which is important for some applications.
Disadvantages:
Requires opening multiple ports forenabling SSLin the firewall. So there are multiple holes in the corporate firewall.
Not every FTP server supports FTPS and many that do, require a configuration change to activate the FTPS protocol extension.
Cryptographic toolkit should be installed in XI system though it is not very complex or expensive.
Conclusion:
Though SFTP seems more secure as it works through one port, FTPS is easier to configure, monitor and maintain from XI point of view. However, the decision depends on many parameters like, cost/effort, flexibility in use, ease of maintenance, company security policy, failure possibilities etc.

Gzip and FTP datafiles in one step

Gzip and FTP datafiles in one step
i have 10 datafiles in a single dir. which are between 2GB and 3GB and i want to transfer it to another host using FTP. I want to do the following:
1. gzip all the datafiles
2. FTP them to target server
i want to accomplish this via shell script. Also i want do it in single step so as to save time.. something like below example:
mknod pipe.dmp p
nohup gzip -cNf < pipe.dmp > exp_infdbt01.dmp.gz &
nohup exp userid=system/xxxxx file=pipe.dmp log=exp_infdbt01_$date.log owner=INFADMIN &
Here a pipe is used to gzip the dump file as it generates the dump file and output it to exp_infdbt01.dmp.gz simultaneously..
How can i do something similar to above to accomplish above task in shell script in for loop.. i tried but didn't worked. Any other way?
I have RHEL 4 edition....using BASH shell

you can zip all files in one file quite convenient using tar: tar czf <name of the tarfile>.tar.gz <filenames which must be in it>
An extremely easy way to share files is using NFS, or samba mounts (that way all the network handling is transparent)

Windows 8.1 and FTP problems

Hello,
I am having problems with Windows 8.1 and FTP clients.
I am using Syncback (just takes forever) and Filezilla 3.7.3 Portable, the last one gives after some time the following error "The maximum number of clients (10) for this user are already connected".
Setting the maximum number of clients on the server form 10 to 15 has no noticeable result.
When using the same network, computer and software, but now Windows 8 (different partition on the same computer), the FTP job just runs fine with no problems.
Should Windows 8.1 have special settings to be able to use FTP?
Thanks, Wouter

Please try these steps:
Reducing simultaneous connections for incorrectly configured servers
https://wiki.filezilla-project.org/Using#Reducing_simultaneous_connections_for_incorrectly_configured_servers
Make sure that you close connection as soon as you are done with them, as some ftp clients will generally leave their connection open unless told otherwise. Additionally, some clients such as Filezilla will allow multiple connections for any new activity,
which uses up connections quickly. While this does make for faster transfers.
I use mostly Cute FTP and I have been sometimes doing it to just close ftp software (Alt+F4) and not closing connection; but the point is that when you have been connected then you must close connection properly as well.

Three questions about Java and Ftp

Hello, i've the following questions about Java and Ftp:
1- .netrc file is in $HOME directory but i can't access to this directory from java code. The following line producesan Exception (directory doesn't exists)
FileWriter file = new FileWriter ("$HOME/.netrc");
2- .netrc file must have the following permissions: -rw- --- --- but when i create the .netrc file the following permissions are on default: -rw- r-- r--, how can i change this permissions? (In java code, i can't use chmod.....)
3- Are there any way to pass parameters to a .netrc file? If i get to do this i needn't change the permissions because i can't modify or create/destroy this file.
Thanks in advanced!!!
Kike

1- .netrc file is in $HOME directory but i can't
access to this directory from java code. The
following line producesan Exception (directory
doesn't exists)
FileWriter file = new FileWriter ("$HOME/.netrc");$HOME would have to be replaced by a shell, I don't
think you can use it as part of a legal path.
Instead, use System.getProperty("user.home");
Ok, thanks
2- .netrc file must have the followingpermissions:
-rw- --- --- but when i create the .netrc file the
following permissions are on default: -rw- r--r--,
how can i change this permissions? (In java code,i
can't use chmod.....)Yes, you can: Runtime.exec("chmod ...");
I need to use estrictly the .netrc with -rw- --- --- permissions
Yes, i can use Runtime.exec ("chmod ..."); but i don't like very much this solution because is a slow solution, am i right?
3- Are there any way to pass parameters to a.netrc
file? If i get to do this i needn't change the
permissions because i can't modify orcreate/destroy
this file.I don't think so. Why do you need the .netrc file in
Java at all? Writing a GUI frontend?I want to use automatic ftp in a java program and FTP server, the files and path are not always the same, so i can:
- modify .netrc (for me is the complex option)
- destroy and create a new .netrc (is easier but i have permissions problem)
- use .netrc with parameters but i haven't found any help about it
Thanks for your prompt reply!!!!

Contribute 6.5 and FTP

Do any versions of Contribute support FTP over SSL (FTPES)
One of our customers cannot connect to our servers using Contribute CS3 because it doesn't support this. They can warrant the upgrade cost should this be supported.
Thanks
Alex
Edit: Sorry, yes, I have looked around the site and forums. I couldn't find much useful information, other than CS3 doesn't support it.

What's the difference between FTPS and FTP? Would that cause a problem w/ my server connection? I'm trying to connect to my website and it says, "the server is down."
