File Adapter in linux

Hi
i am using file adapter to read a file ,but my development environment is windows.,but my server is on Linux.so when i am configuring the file adapter i have to give directory of incoming file.How can i give this path as the bpel process will read the file from linux machine(as it will deploy the bpel process in linux soa server).pls help me how to give this path in file adapter wizard(jdevelooper is on windows).Thanks in advance......
With Kind Regards
Soumitra

Have you tried entering a directory on your linux server where the file adapter will look?
It is a little odd that they put a browse button in the file adapter wizard. That implies that you will be running your bpel process manager locally. If deploying to a remote bpel server, it becomes redundant.

File Adapter with Linux

Hi
I want to send file from linux server to XI File Adapter
I cannot cr8 nfs between them ( our XI is running on AIX)
there's an option of Using samba client ( which works likes FTP )
does XI Supports that option?
other thing i have been thiking on is 2 run script which will bring the file to XI Server
will it work if I put the script on the file adapter befrore message proccessing ?
Thx,Shai

Hi Shai,
Specify the port number of the FTP server. The default is the standard port for the FTP server (21).
In active mode, the server establishes a data connection from its data port, port 20, to an end point chosen by the client.
I would also suggest you go through this link....

File adapter issue in Linux enviornment

hi'
I am deploying BPEL in Linux enviornment, and with the file adapter read operation I am reading a test.xml file this file is internally refering to emp.xsd (files are below), now the issue is the file adapter is reading XML file even if it is invalid, this was not the case in windows XP enviornment, please advice why it is behaving like this.
Also the path of my XSD is "/home/wsfbpel/public_html/XSD" and the file has all read write permission (chmod 777 filename)
XSD
*<?xml version="1.0" encoding="windows-1252" ?>*

File Adapter Linux File Permissions

Hi,
When we use the File Adapter from BPEL process to write a create a file, it creates with permission 403.
We need to create the file with permission 775.
Which is the best way to do that?
Thank You.
JP

Hi. I don't think you can do this on an adapter-base. As far as I know there are no properties you can set in file adapter wsdl. I see three possibilities (but I've never used them myself).
First possibility is to set default permission for user who runs adapter (usually this is oracle under which Oracle Software is installed). This can be done by using command umask. Below is some more information on this topic.
The most common umask setting is 022. The /etc/profile script is where the umask command is usually set for all users.
Second possibility is to create file with 0 byte by writing custom java and then invoke adapter with append option. For a complete list op properties on file adapter see Chapter Oracle JCA Adapter Properties in Oracle Fusion Middleware User Guide for Technology Adapters.
Third possibility is by writing your own file adapter. By that you have full cntrol on behavior but it will be time-consuming.
Hope it helps.

File Adapter - special character in Filename

Hi,
i have a question concerning file adapter.
Scenario: we are polling files via file sender adapter (FTP).
Problem: if the filename contains a special character, an error is thrown with 'The System cannot find the file specified'
Scope: Special character in filename (not in payload)
Installed: XI 3.0 SP 19 on Linux
Questions:
- what FTP implementation does XI use?
- What do i have to check/upgrade to unicode?
- is it an OS problem or an Java problem or a XI problem?
- or is it not possible copiing files with special characters in filename?
Thank you very much in advance.
Michael

Hi Michael,
The file/FTP adapter supports both passive and active FTP data connection. You can select the data connection while configuring the adapter.
The file/FTP adapter follows specification RFC 959. The specification can be found on the Internet under www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc0959.txt.
For FAQs about the file/FTP adapter, see SAP Note 821267. Please note that you'll need an account to log in on service.sap.com.
Question: How are you specifiying the file name? i.e. Are you using placeholders, like ?, *, *.txt, etc ?
If there's a problem with the filenames, then it should be a problem in the JAVA implementation of the adapter I assume. So you could for instance build your own adapter extension to by-pass that problem.
Just for your information; I haven't encounter a problem with filenames in other projects.
Good luck!

Receiver file adapter command line

hi,
i am just wondering how to use command line on receiver file adapter.
i am not clear how to use this.
please modify on the following command!
anyway, i have to call java application after put some files by receiver file adapter.
cmd.exe %Fjava ./javacalltest
it did not work..
please guide me.
Command Line
An operating system command specified here is executed before or after a file has been successfully processed. The default value is an empty character string (no command).
When the operating system command is called, the file name currently being processed can be specified with the following placeholders:
%f (file name)
%F (absolute file name including path)

File adapter:FizeSize property doesn't effective if choose "Append" propert

Hi
I used file adapter to write a file to a Linux box, I use "*Append to existing file*" property, but it seems I can't use FileSize to limit the size of the file?
I want to use Append to existing file and if the size of the file over than 1M, then generate a another new file, so the same behavior with this new generated new file.
Any ideas is appreciated.
Thanks

This is as per the design. If you choose append to file option, the batching options such as Number of Messages Equals, Elapsed Time Exceeds, File Size Exceeds does not work.
You may write a custom utility which keep checking the file size and renames it after it exceeds a particular size. You may also raise an enhancement request with support if you have a strong use case where this facility must be there OOB.

Configure Sender File adapter dynamically

Hi,
I need to configure the sender file adapter dynamically. Ex: I will be providing the src dir , file name etc dynamically. I think this is not possible using module because module gets executed after file is picked (in my case file dir and file names need to be determined dynamically). I even don't won't to use directory API for craeting my file sender comm channel. Is there any other way to achive this.
Regards,
Rakesh

Hi Rakesh,
what is the Operating system of the PI server? Could you please kindly explain what conditions determine filename and source directory? I do not think there is anyway you can determine src file and dir names dynamically in PI.
Here is what you can try.
PI server is on windows system u need batch file. If its on unix or Linux you need scripts. Now what you have to do is place all files in a directory. Here the script/batch file will run continuously in background. Once it gets files it will rename files based on file content or file name then move them in different directories as per your conditions. your interface must have multiple communication channels and sender agreement (with diffrent parties) which will pick up those files from these directories.
The name of directories will be fixed in each channel.

Receiver File Adapter - Directory field - home directory

How do I populate the Directory field in the receiver file adapter if I don't know the directory. I want to use "home directory", but I don't know what that is. I'm sending a file to a IBM i5 OS.

I have already asked for the path. This is the answer I got.
Directory listings from FTP sessions are disabled. We use IBM i5 OS for the FTP server because it's immune to exploits aimed at Windows and Linux based servers. Since you can only "PUT" a file, it is analogous to a bank night deposit box (lots of companies can make deposits to this same metal box on the brick wall but none of them can use it to make withdrawals).

File Adapter Not Reading Large Files

Dear Experts,
Enviornment :-
OS:-Linux
Jdeveloper:- 11.1.1.6
SOA:-11.1.1.6
Weblogic:-10.3.6
JDK:-SUN
Allocated RAM:-16GB
Currently we are in UAT Phase and now we are facingan issue in reading large file.Below is the Design details of the service
FileAdapter(Read)-->Bpel(Business login,Using FlowN)-->FileAdapter(Write CSV),JMS Adapter(AQ JMS topics)
In this case at the time of read itself we are facing issue. File adapter reading xml file but in receive activity receives input data as
xmlDocKey:1C135990067411E3BFA6B5087B629F9DI
I really couldn;t understand about the error. Even i tried reading as Opaque format and still end up with same error.
In order to make sure i have create mediator and tried reading the file, in case i was able to read file upto 15mb with out any error.Also i tried as "read as Attachment" in Bpel component and able to read the attachment upto 7 mb file, but this is hitting the performance side.
I request some one please let me know why the file adapter is giving XmlDOCKey rather then XMLContent to the inputvariable

Tarak

Can you check your BPEL Properties in EM?
Go to Soa-infra > right Click > SOA Administration > BPEL properties
increase the Dispatcher Engine Thread = 10, Dispatcher Invoke Threads = 60 and Dispatcher Engine Threads to 90
Click on "More BPEL Configuration Properties"
Increase the DispatcherMaxRequestDepth from 600 to 1000.
Bounce the server and see if works..
Bounce the server and try again.
If this fails, try get a threshold by increasing the file size until it fails again.

Listener on ESB file adapter does not appear to listen

I am new to the world of SOA, ESB, and BPEL and am starting with something simple such as reading a file from one directory performing a data transformation and writing the file to a different directory. I understand that Oracle's ESB and BPEL are very similar in functionality. I have successfully been able to read files in using a file adapter and listener in BPEL. When I try to set up a new ESB application with a file adapter and listener in ESB, I register the project with the Integration Server without any problems, and am able to see all components in the ESB Control. When I drop a new file into the directory that the adapter is attached and listening to, nothing happens. The file is not picked up and there are no new instances of any ESB services. Am I missing something? Is there a log that could be checked to see if the service is even checking the directory?
Along the same lines, I am wondering if there is an easy way to update the directory that is being listened to once the service has been registered/deployed (with either ESB or BPEL). Is there a config file that someone other than a developer could update without having to redeploy the service again.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

What platform are you running and what install option did you use, basic or advanced?
There are known issues with adapters enabling automatically on Linux that require you to restart the container. See Re: Changing File Adapter target directory - container bounce required?
You can change the polling directory by following the instructions in this thread.

How to make BPEL File Adapter read only new files?

Hello
we have BPEL processes that define to run from bpel component - file adatper-
when a file come into location that it is path on the linux server . the bpel start run when "File Adapter" bpel component recognize that new file come to the location. its PollingFrequency define to 5. property name="DeleteFile" value="false" so the files remaine there.
we want to migrate the bpel to new SOA version so we did export and deploy to new SOA Domain.
the location of the file adapter is the same.
but when the BPEL processes deployed its start to run for all the files that are in this location- that the file adapter define on .
even the original soa tooks those files and start the BPEL processes for each one of them. also the new SOA that we did deploy to the BPEL processes take those files even if they are very old.
we want the file adatper we take only new files . the start point is the time when we do deploy to the process so if we do deploy in 10:00 am we dont want this bpel will take files from 9:00 or earlier time
Please help , how we can do this?
Thanks

thank you
do you kno hat the value means in the example:
Java mon amour: File Adapter metadata with SOA Suite
<property name="jca.file.LastModifiedTime" value="1293041258635">
what should I rite for read only the files that are only neer then yesterday?

Java command line in File adapter

Hi all,
In my receiver file adapter (FTP), I want to use the option "Run operating system command after message processing". In the command I want to execute a java class. Can anybody have information about how to do that ?
My command line in the following : "java myPackage.MyClass %F". This command line works fine on my machine but I don't know how to do when on XI File Adapter (where to set the jar file, ...)
Thanks in advance,
Laurence

File adapter Deployment issue

Hi,
I have a process that use a file adapter which polles a certain directory.
I am developing on windows XP and I am deploying to a Linux
I can't leave the path of this directory as it is since it will not be recognized in the linux server
How do I solve this issue?
Amit

You can specify the Logical Name of the directory from which you want to read the file from. In the BPEL partner link of the bpel.xml file, you then provide the physical parameter value for the Logical Name. This resolves the mapping between the logical directory name and actual physical directory name.
For example you can specify Logical Name as InputFileDir and in the bpel.xml specify the physical value against the partner link for that file adapter, as following :
<property name="InputFileDir">C:/ora_home/integration/bpm/samples/tutorials/
121.FileAdapter/ComplexStructure/InputDir/</property>
So while development, you can specify the physical directory as in your Windows system, and at deployment you can specify the directory as in your linux system.

Multi-platform File Adapter

We are currently looking at the requirements for several new processes involving use of the File Adapter functionality. Our production BPM environment is RedHat Linux 4, while this particular legacy system runs on Windows 2000. The legacy system is already configured to read and write XML files into Windows file shares. Some integration processes should kick off when XML files are written to the file shares. Other processes will write XML files back into the file shares. I am looking for recommendations as to the best architectural approach to dealing with this multi-platform problem within the BPEL PM. As I see it, we have a few of options:
1.     Utilize FTP server functionality rather than direct file access to read and write the files in a platform-independent manner.
2.     Use some other technology to bridge between the platform-specific file directories and something less dependent on platform. For example, pick up the files from the Windows directory and write them to an AQ queue. Then feed the BPEL process from the queue.
3.     Run BPM on multiple platforms and allow the Windows instance to handle Windows file drops while the Linux instance handles Linux file drops. Obviously there is a cost penalty here as well as complexity during deployment.
Any thoughts or experiences are welcome.
Thank you.

Have you looked into relative path's? that would solve the issue of different OS path names.
Also, you might want to consider the deployment descriptors you can use when compiliing, you can set enviroment specific variables like paths in there.
