Difference in File Adapter Read File as attachment and Use File streaming

Hi all,
As part of our POC we created a File adapter using the option Read file as attachment and File streaming we observed below things
1.When we are taking “Attachment” option in file adapter, Its able to archive, but not supporting to write data to different location(using fileadapter’s write operation.)
2.when WE are taking “ file streaming “ option in the adapter , Its not able to achive, but it writes data to different location(using fileadapter’s write operation.)
Can anyone know is this is a correct behaviour . If yes what is the reason .
Thanks

XI Sender file adapter - How to process data and control files.

Hello all,
I have the following requirement to fulfill: I am using an FTP client (XI Sender file adapter) to retrieve data from an FTP site. To make sure I am not picking up a data file that is currently being written to, 2 files are actually present on the FTP site (for each data file):
1. abc.ctrl (control file with no data in it. Indicates that the data file has been completely written).
2. abc.dat (actual data file).
I want the file/ftp connector in XI to retrieve the data file (abc.dat) only if the control file (abc.ctrl) is present. After the processing of the data file is finished, both files (.dat and .ctrl) should be deleted.
Is there an elegant and robust way to accomplish this?
Thanks for your help.

Hi Yves,
in my opinion there's no problem with files currently being written in combination with a polling file adapter because the final file name should be available only when the file is transferred completely. I'm using different file sender adapters very often and never had any problems. After picking up the files I move them to the corresponding archive folders mentioned in the adapters so that a second processing cannot occur.

[File-Adapter] Reading not finished files

Hey,
my sender file adapter reading files which are not finished yet.
The files are created by an ABAP programm. The creation could
take some seconds. If the file adapter polls while creation is not
finished, we have a problem.
The flag "Process Read-Only Files" is not set, so the ABAP programm
doesn't seem to set the file to read only.
Is there a way to check (e.g. with an operating system command) if the
file is processed completly?
For example I could check if the date of creation is higher than 10 minutes
or something like this.
Any other ideas?
thanks
chris

What is the file adapter option you are using?
If NFS, you have the option "Milliseconds check before modification" that will prevent the file from being picked up till they are completly written.
If FTP, then when the file is being written to the ftp folder you should have the option to use temporary files option

File adapter read activity.

Hi,
is it possible to make the file adapter to look for specific files and ignore others in the same directory or do you have to write a web service for that? I want the file adapter to poll for certain files only.
Best Regards
Johan

Hi Johan,
In the Adapter Configuration Wizard its already providing the setting
You can found the setting as following
File Adapter > Operation Type (Read File) > Step 5 of 7 (File Filtering)
This step allows you to specify the file name pattern of both include and exclude files
Notice: I am using JDeveloper 10g

File Adapter : read XML file with data validation and file rejection ?

Hello,
In order to read a XML file with the file adapter, I have defined a XSD that I have imported to my project.
Now the File Adapter reads the file correctly but it does not give an error when:
- the data types are not valid. Ex: dateTime is expected in a node and a string is provided
- the XML file has invalid attributes.
How can I manage error handling for XML files ?
Should I write my own Java XPath function to validate the file after is processed ? (here is an example for doing this : http://www.experts-exchange.com/Web/Web_Languages/XML/Q_21058568.html)
Thanks.

one option is to specify validateXML on the partnerlink (that describes the file adapter endpoint) such as shown here
<partnerLinkBinding name="StarLoanService">
<property name="wsdlLocation"> http://<hostname>:9700/orabpel/default/StarLoan/StarLoan?wsdl</property>
<property name="validateXML">true</property>
</partnerLinkBinding>

Difference in idoc adapter header mapping between SP14 and SP19

Hi All,
i have a very strange problem.......i have 2 XI systems : XI-sandbox and XI-dev.....
XI-sandbox is on XI3.0 SP19 whereas XI-dev is on XI3.0 SP14...........
I have a file->XI->idoc scenario which is same on both XI-sandbox and XI-dev....
in receiver idoc adapter, i am using header mapping for sender service and in the sender service i am using XPATH of a field of control rec of idoc.........
this scenario works fine on XI-sandbox which is on SP19 and the idocs are sent to SAP R/3 sandbox...........but this scenario on XI-dev gives error in SXMB_MONI in XI-dev of Call adapter - "No party conversion found".........
So my question is that is there any difference in idoc adapter header mapping between SP14 and SP19.........
Thanks,

><i>so i cant use apply control rec values from payload.........</i>
rajeev,
I know this has nothing to do with the original problem but please do bear.
If I undertood you posts correct, the Sender Partner Name is set in the Idoc Control record in the field SNDPRN in the mapping using some mapping logic.
Now, this is the partner name with which the idoc is to be posted to thge R3 system.
if yes, then like I have pointed above, using "Take Sender From Payload" in the Receivcer Idoc Adapter is a better option as pointed in the SAP help as well.
As you are already populating the idoc control ecord with SNDPRN just make the SNDPRT as LS and then select "Take Sender from Payload" in the receiver Idoc adapter and the Sender Partner Name will not be taken from SDNPRN just as you want.
This is different from "Apply Control Records From Payload" .

Lightroom trial doesn't show complete menu selections or import button. Also get error message on launch: An error occurred when attempting to change modules. I am unable to find/see the following file to try renaming the SLCache and SLStore files: System Library/Application Support/Adobe. Any ideas? I only have 16 days left on the trial and have been unable to get it to work on my Macbook Pro. This is all I am seeing after Lightroom opens. Thanks!

Thanks to both of you for attempting to help. I finally figured out what was wrong . . . it was a Permissions problem. Very frustrating, but after scouring the troubleshooting tips I finally found the one that solved my problem. I had to add a User and give it Read/Write privileges to Lightroom. The file I had to add the User to was Hidden on my Mac, so that added an even bigger challenge to the mystery. Only a few days left on my trial version! I hope I have time to try it out!

OESB File Adapter (Read .xml file to Write .xml)

Hi All,
The fileRead adapter of reading xml format file not writing the content to another xml file.
In detail, I have a xml file of type (myschema.xsd) to pick using read operation will transform to output directory as xml format (pls find attachment as myschema1.xsd) is not writing the content in out xml file rather writing an empty elements. The same thing working with CSV to CSV.
Has anybody come across the same? Also found out the same issue with BPEL file adapter as well.
Any light on this will very much appreciated

File Adapter read Operation

I am using File adapter to read files from the given location.
With this read operation it picks all the files at time.
I want to configure File Adapters that it should pick one file at time from the given location with given polling interval.
Can we do this with file Adapters in BPEL.
I am using SOA Suite 11g.
Thanks,
Arun Jadhav

Hi, in order to achieve that you need to set the "SingleThreadModel" and "MaxRaiseSize" properties for your file adapter.
Edit the adapter's jca file and add the following properties:
<property name="SingleThreadModel" value="true"/>
<property name="MaxRaiseSize" value="1"/>
You can set these properties also through jdeveloper, by opening composite.xml, selecting the adapter and then changing the properties through the properties panel.

WEBUTIL (attach and view files from database) --- Vista vs. XP differences

I have attached the following code. We are using Oracle Application Server 10.1.2.3 patch
My questions are provided following the code.
-- Open the local temporary file --
-- v_COMMAND := 'cmd /c start "" /WAIT "' || v_FULL_FILENAME || '" /w';
v_COMMAND := 'cmd /c start "" /WAIT "' || v_FULL_FILENAME || '"';
v_PROCESS_ID := WEBUTIL_HOST.blocking( v_COMMAND );
v_TEMP := WEBUTIL_HOST.GET_RETURN_CODE( v_PROCESS_ID );
If v_TEMP <> 0 Then
r_ERR_MSG := 'Host command error(' || To_Char( v_TEMP ) || ')';
v_FLAG := WEBUTIL_FILE.DELETE_FILE( v_FULL_FILENAME ) ;
RAISE PANIC;
End if ;
if p_FILE_ACCESS = 'W' then
-- Re-store the modified file in the database --
If Not Webutil_File_Transfer.Client_To_DB ( v_FULL_FILENAME, 'mis_mst.FT_SUP_FILES', 'FILE_DATA',
'FILE_NBR = ' || To_Char( p_FILE_NBR ) ) Then
r_ERR_MSG := 'Error on storing file';
Raise PANIC;
Else
Clear_Message;
-- show_message('File re-stored in the database') ;
End if;
else
Clear_Message;
-- show_message('NOTE: "' || v_FILENAME || '" was not updated in the database' );
end if;
-- Remove the temporary local file --
v_FLAG := WEBUTIL_FILE.DELETE_FILE( v_FULL_FILENAME ) ;
If v_FLAG = FALSE Then
Bell ;
-- show_message( 'Error removing "' || v_FULL_FILENAME || '" from the PC.' );
End if ;
For the most part, we are able to open files in both XP and Vista. We are having a couple of problems with certain file types; specifically, (JPG and ZIP).
We have a workaround, but I would like to know why the problem occurs.
When the user opens a JPG from our application using the Windows Vista client (JPG are associated with Windows Media Player by default), the system will not open the file. The system states that the file doesn't exist. What I think is happening is that Windows Media Player takes awhile to load and before WMP is fully loaded, the file is deleted (the /WAIT command must not fully wait for the command to complete, causing Forms to continue with its code to delete the file). When WMP tries to open the file, the file has already been deleted from the operating system. I have tried the "/WAIT <filename>" and the "/WAIT <filename> /w" parameters.
The workaround is to reassociate the file with MS Paint or Microsoft Office Viewer (instead of Windows Media Player).
Are any of you aware of issues (or differences) in the wait command between Windows XP and Windows Vista?

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!!
I believe that will work (adding a sequence number to the end of the filename)!
We do not allow a user to update the file, only view. If a user wants to make a change, they need to remove the existing file (from the database), create a new file (outside of our application), and attach the file in our application (into the database). All updates occur outside of our application - we are not a document authoring system, just a document storage system.
Once again, many thanks on the solution!
Mike

File Adapter Read, Translation error

Hi,
I got problem with BPEL File Adapter. When i'm reading file i got scheme - termineted with semicol and without quoting.
In uploaded test file there was line - first colums;second colums;""third"" column";forth column;
And the problem are five quotes and adapter fails with translation error. Can i somehow ignore them?

Hi,
You have use the attribute quotedBy... By default, the specified string is &quot; ("). If your data includes this character, you must override this default even if the field is not quoted.
For example:
{code}
<element name="field" type="string" nxsd:style="terminated" nxsd:terminatedBy=";" nxsd:quotedBy="<"/>
{code}

Dynamic update to Inbound Directory for File Adapter Read

I've seen references to others asking similar questions but never a good answer.
I have a process that outputs files into daily dated directories. In other words, my Inbound Direct name is dynamic. I would like BPEL to be able to pick up these files but the Directory Spec for the inbound file adapter seems to be set at design time (or in the case of a Logical Directory Deployment time).
The directory names are in YYYMMDD format. So it would be:
importdir/YYYMMDD
for each day.
Is there a way I can monitor an entire subtree, or have some event that triggers the directory name to be updated (for instance, a process watches the parent directory and kicks off when a new directory is created), or any other method I can inform the FileAdapter to begin polling a different directory.
Thanks.

Hi,
Look at this document : [Oracle JCA Adapter for Files/FTP|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12839_01/integration.1111/e10231/adptr_file.htm#CIAFJCCE]

File adapter : Read poll setting is not picking the file

Hi all,
I created a soa project to read a file and load in to the database table.
File adapter to read file > Mediator > Database adapter
Is the above structure i created. While i created this my imagination is that file adapter has poll frequency to read the file i set the value to 10 seconds.
After i deploy my project i checked in enterprise manager that there is no option to test this , because test button will be disable due to file adapter and database adapter , so no inputs required here. But i feel this will automatically read the file for every 10 seconds. but its not happening.
any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Sabari
Edited by: 933406 on May 25, 2012 3:49 AM

You have to have cluster id property setting on composite level and deploy. This will restrict reading twice.
<activationAgents>
<activationAgent className="oracle.tip.adapter.fw.agent.jca.JCAActivationAgent" partnerLink="readCustomersFile">
<property name="portType">Read_ptt</property>
<property name="clusterGroupId">ProcessClusterID</property>
<property name="InvoiceInboundInput" type="LogicalDirectory">/path/</property>
<property name="InvoiceInboundArchive" type="LogicalArchiveDirectory">/path/</property>
<property name="rejectedMessageHandlers" >file:////path/</property>
</activationAgent>
</activationAgents>
