ESB FTP adapter tutorials

I seen Oracle has many tutorials and this i like :) However im trying to setup a FTP adapter version of ESB and cant seem to find any tutorials on this specfically. If anyone could help me or maybe explain how i could edit a file adapter tutorial in which they have so that and FTP adapter could work that would be great

Sorry I haven't tried it with ESB, but I do have a blog about "advanced use of FTP adapter" in BPEL: http://darwin-it.blogspot.com/2008/03/configuration-of-ftp-synchronous-get.html.
I do think though that it should not be a very big problem to translate this to ESB, since it is actually the same adapter.

  • 10.1.3.4 - ESB FTP adapter not processing the files in the input directory

    I created a process that reads from a logical inputDir. I migrated the ESB service to another box and created the same adapter connection etc. however nothing really happens in this new environment. In the opmn.log i see the following statements and no other info.

    The last message "Connection Created" keeps repeating, but no processing occurs. I tried increasing all the loggers to finest. but still nothing happens.
    any idea how to troubleshoot this ? the only difference in the environment is that the new environment has 10.1.3.4 MLR2 and the first one is just plain 10.1.3.4

    Make sure that you modified the oc4j-ra.xml file in the FtpAdapter directory and have put the correct hostname and username and password. The directory structure looks like this //some-directory/oc4j_soa/application-deployments/default/FtpAdapter/oc4j-ra.xml.

  • Need to get ESB FTP adapter going

    I was set on a project over the weekend and so far im pretty sure i have completely failed :) I need to just specify routing rules for server to server connection. We are doing this through FTP, the routing rules will specify certain files to look for, and we have a default account to connect to each server with. Well so far i got two FTP connections in place a read and write one. I am not sure what else i need to implement in order to complete this. My task was to use ESB to do this proces. I have a couple questions however besides creating two FTP connects one read one write what else do i need in this? The routing rules will come after i get this all put together i would assume. Anyway do i need a file adapter in the ESB setup ? It never ask me to specify a username and password but i think that would be specified under integration connections where my connection to the specfic server is? How do i tell me FTP connections to connect to one of my integration connections? I have a development one and a production one, obviously im working on the DEV

    No i think my wording was wrong i apologize, not that it will neccessarily use the connection username and password located under integration connection. But it will use this to connect to? Ok tell me if im wrong but it will use this connection under integration connection to connect to some kind of SOA "somewhere"?
    And maybe not SOA im not sure if you need SOA but some kind of ESB server. Hence the option to register with ESB when right clicking the project?

    Re: Simple Questions about ESB and ftp adapter.
    Posted: Apr 8, 2008 4:20 PM in response to: user629857 Reply
    I assume you are using ESB. Your ESB service will look as follows:
    FTP inbound adapter -> Routing Service -> FTP outbound adapter
    In your FTP inbound and outbound adapters, specify the logical directory name in the end point properties.
    The bpel.xml file is only specific if you are using Oracle BPEL Process Manager.
    <---------- this is the exact setup i have right now, does this sound correct?

  • ESB- FTP adapter unable to poll a file

    I have a FTP adapter it has to poll files, with diff naming convention.(like "asd", 'wer',"jkl","AVC"). But the adapter was unable to poll a file which name start with AVC
    reamining files are polled successfully.At ftp location ftp adapter will poll file and place all records into DB through ESB,for ESB we can set adapters as inbound.Plz give me any suggessions to solve this problem(10.1.3.4).Thq.

    I checked the error logs and it informed it was not able to create the stage directory where as i am only creating the stage directory and providing the path to it.so i could not really understand the exact error.
    Does a stage directory get created automatically anywhere else?

  • ESB FTP Adapter Help

    Hi
    I am switch from TIBCO products to Oracle so I am kinda lost. Sorry if these questions are too newbie.
    1. Is it possible to configure multiple FTP adapters polling files from various FTP sites? I think it s a YES. Can you tell me how? I need to perform polling of files from 3 different FTP sites and interval of x mins then to trigger other processes
    2. If I were to create a manager sitting in front of these adapters to specify how these adapters works, how do I that? Meaning instead of specifying what is the host etc.. It can be done at front end application
    Thank you

    Hi,
    1) with respect to how, check out the SOA Suite Adapters guide that is available here: http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B31017_01/integrate.1013/b28994.pdf (assuming you use version 10.1.3.1).
    Basically:
    - Define the FTP Adapter services using a wizard
    - Specify connection data for your FTP services in a config file

  • ESB FTP Adapter Not Archiving to FTP Server

    I have a FTP adapter in which I have pointed a logical archive directory to a directory on the FTP server. However, the file is not getting archived to that folder. If I point the logical directory to a shared folder on the server it archives the file. Can I not archive a file on the FTP server? I have checked permissions on the FTP folder and they are correct.
    Thanks.

    I found the solution to this issue. There is a property named UseRemoteArchive that needs to be set in the WSDL in the <jca:operation> element. See below for details.
    <jca:operation
    FileType="ascii"
    LogicalDirectory="incomingDirectory"
    ActivationSpec="oracle.tip.adapter.ftp.inbound.FTPActivationSpec"
    LogicalArchiveDirectory="archiveDirectory"
    DeleteFile="true"
    IncludeFiles="*\.xml"
    PollingFrequency="100"
    MinimumAge="0"
    OpaqueSchema="false"
    UseRemoteArchive="true" >
    </jca:operation>

  • Using FTP adapter

    Hi,
    My requirement is I have to read the files from different ftp locations and put them in database.
    When ever there is a new record in the database I have to Extract the record and store in the XML. then I Have to move this file to multiple FTP locations.
    I know how to do it, if I have to read from a single location and sending to a single location.
    Can this be done using ESB FTP Adapter??
    If Yes, Please give the steps to do that
    thanks
    V Kumar

    Is it possible to invoke from a single point and can this service provide the logic to identify the location of the FTP. If so then you can do a synchronous read using the FTP adapter.
    When you say FTP locations, do you mean servers, or different locations on the one FTP server. If it is just different directories you can use the FTP headers, have a look at this link. http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/integration/esb/files/esb-presentation-headers.pdf
    If the locations are on different servers I don't think this is achieveable as you would need to chnage the JNDI name dynamically, I'm not shure how to do this. You can just add a new route when a new location comes online, this will not change any of your existing code.
    The other option which is not SOA Suite pre sa is to create SAMBA connections to your FTP servers. These will be respresented on the SOA file system as directories. You can then use the file adapter and header to perform this logic.
    cheers

  • FTP Adapter File Size Limit

    Hi,
    Is there a limit on file size for FTP 'put' operation in BPEL/ESB FTP adapter for the file in ASCII format?
    For File adapter polling the limit is 7 MB unless Debatching feature is used I think.
    Thanks

    There used to be but in 10.1.3.4 the restriction has been lifted but there are some restrictions. If you have File / Ftp input and File / Ftp out put you can use the MOVE functionality
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12524_01/relnotes.1013/e12523/adapters.htm#CHDHJGHG.
    If you are using DB adapter this won't work and the 7MB file limit exists, although this is really streatching it. I wouldn't go above 1MB. Oracle Data integrator is a good option for this kind of pattern.
    cheers

  • 10.1.3.4 - FTP adapter polling multiple servers

    Is it possible to get files from multiple servers for a given BPEL or ESB service ? My source application writes to its local file systems in the exact same location, but 2 different servers. Is there anyway we can instruct the FTP adapter to poll both the servers ? or do we have to duplicate the call to poll the 2nd server ?

    Don't think so. We have solved it by having one esb ftp-adapter to each server and route them together in the same routing service.

  • 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/;')

  • Ftp Adapter in ESB Control

    Where do I need to configure the JNDI-location of my ftp-adapter when working with an esb control?
    If I deploy my esb process now i'm getting a WSIFException because he can't find the configuration settings for the ftp adapter.

    When I try to use the same functionality, the ftp adapter, in bpel I'm facing the same behaviour. There is something wrong with the configuration of the oc4j-ra.xml file?
    The errostack:
    file:/C:/product/SoaSuite/10.1.3.1/OracleAS/bpel/domains/default/tmp/.bpel_BPELProcess1_1.0_c64929dfd2dacf95db3c9da081c1797d.tmp/put.wsdl [ Put_ptt::Put(DVD) ] - WSIF JCA Execute of operation 'Put' failed due to: Adapter Framework unable to create outbound JCA connection.

    Unable to locate the JCA Resource Adapter via WSDL port element jca:address.
    The Adapter Framework is unable to startup the Resource Adapter specified in the WSDL jca:address element: location='eis/Ftp/FtpAdapter'.
    The reason for this is most likely that either
    1) the Resource Adapters RAR file has not been deployed successfully to the OC4J Application server or
    2) the 'location' attribute in $J2EE_HOME/application-deployments/default/deployed-adapter-name/oc4j-ra.xml has not been set to eis/Ftp/FtpAdapter. In the last case you might have to add a new 'connector-factory' entry (connection) to oc4j-ra.xml.
    Please correct this and then restart the BPEL/OC4J Application Server

  • How to reply from a ESB scenario with FTP adapter

    Hello all,
    Is it possible to create a reply message when a FTP Put adapter is failing?
    The background scenario is following:
    We have an ESB routing service, that is called from a BPEL process, and invokes a FTP adapter (put). Hence, the adapter is a one-way adapter. However, when for some reason the files are not delivered to the ftp server, the adapter fails, and no fault or reply messages are created to send back to the BPEL process. As a consequence, the BPEL process continuous successfully while it should raise a failure.
    So, how can we alter the scenario, so that failures in the ftp adapters are propagated to the BPEL process? For instance, by creating a reply message in the ESB service?
    Any help is appreciated.
    Kind regards,
    Harm

    Hi Harm,
    When the FTP adapter fails in ESB, is that specific instance in the ESB console then marked as faulted?
    If so you might be able to look on the JMS error topic ( error hospital ) and report this back to BPEL?

  • ESB: inbound file and outbound ftp adapter with multiple directories

    Basically I want to scan directories and write new files ftp directories. I could figure out how to do that for one directory. However I need to scan multiple directories and ftp upload files contained in those directories to corresponding ftp directories. Number of directories and their names are only known at run time. All directories are under one parent directory, both locally and the remote ftp site. We can assume all ftp directories exist.
    I could not figure out how to this. Is this possible at all? Directory names seem to be only specified at design time, for both inbound file adapters and outbound ftp adapters.
    Pranab

    Chris, I am not really sure this is the right place to ask this question. But hopefully you might have something in your armour to help me out.
    My requirement is to configure an inbound File/FTP adapter to read from a Directory which can be known only at runtime. A webservice call returns the file name and network path of the file to be read, but that happens only during the run time. I guess one way possible is, you configure a File/FTP Adapter with a logical name for directory and set the physical directory path using the endpoint property. But in that case, I should know the Physical directory @ deployment time.
    I would like to know whether it is possible to manipulate the Endpoint property of an ESB Service (SOAP Service/Routing Service/Adapter Service) during runtime.
    So is there any way to get the enpoint property configured during runtime??? Otherwise dO you recommend some other solution for this use case???
    Any help would be appreciated.

  • Simple Questions about ESB and ftp adapter.

    We have the following Business Scenario:
    We have a partner company that provide us a ftp server with some files. We need to transfer these files from this server to other server, we don't need to read the file's content, we just need transfer the files.
    We are planning to use ESB in order to implement this solution but we have the following questions:
    Is it possible use the ftp adapter in order to transfer the files?
    Is there any example available about (Schema is Opaque feature) on a ftp adapter?
    Thanks
    Ramiro Ortiz

    Thank you very much for your reply.
    . I am trying to construct a FTP ( get) adapter with which I would like to do a simple FTP transfer from /var/out directory server xxx.oms.com (say) to a directory /home/in on the server bos1.oms.com (say) could not figure out this in jdeveloper 10.1.3.3 ( do i need upgraded jdeveloper?). The esb server and control exists on server bos1.oms.com. While constructing the adapter in jdeveloper it asks for physical directory? Is this the directory where it will the read the file from? How do I specify if the directory exists on the different server.
    is it something like xxx.oms.com:/var/out
    Please let me know.

  • ESB - No Response from FTP Adapter Service

    Hello I'm developing a service on the Oracle ESB 10.1.3.4.0.
    My goal is to receive an incoming SOAP/XML message and then put the XML file on an FTP Server and return a response(Success/Error) to the invoker.
    I have created a RoutingService and a FTP Adapter Service. The Routing service receives the incoming message and then performs a synchronous executions on the FTP adapter service. The FTP adapter service successfully uploads the file to the FTP server.
    The problem I'm having is that the FTP Adapter Service does not return a response and the Routing Service does not allow me to create an XSL mapping for the response.
    Does anyone have any recommendations on how to return a response to the invoker of the Routing Service?
    Thanks!

    The WSDL that the wizard of the FTP Adapter created only had an "input" tag under the "operation". I manually modified the WSDL and added an "output" tag that references a new XSD that I imported.
    The problem that I was originally having was that the FTP adapter returned an empty message with no tags. With my change to the WSDL, the FTP adapter is still NOT returning any data, however it is now returning the the tags (empty) that I referenced in the WSDL.
    I originally had 1 routing service and 1 FTP adapter service. In order to make use of the empty tags being returned by the FTP adapter, I created a 2nd routing service and placed in between the first 2 services. Next I used an XSL mapping to hard code the value "success" in the response XML. If the FTP adapter fails, then a fault will be returned to the user.
    I hope this answers your question.
