File Adapter to read from remote file server query

Hi all,
I want a SOA 11g application to read files on remote server using File Adapter. Is it possible to configure the File Adapter to read from remote location instead of locally. Is it possible. Is yes where can I find the associated remote file configuration documentation.
Thanks

I also changed one more properties the FTP connection factory called serverType=win. I get bits and pieces in each document. Is there any working example to connect to an FTP server running on Windows using Ftp Adapter. Still not working.
These are the error logs related to it. Please suggest

File Adapter and reading all XML files from direcotry

Problem occurs on PI 7.1
I defined sender file adapter. File name mask is: "*.xml" to read all XML messages from directory.
Quality of service is: Exactly One.
Poll Interval: 30
Retry interval: 30
Processing mode: Archive with option "Add Timestamp".
Processing sequence: by name.
I though that with above configuration my File Adapter will be reading folder for all coming XML files. But somehow it is reading XMLs only when I'm activating it in Integration Builder.
Any idea what can cause such strange problem?

Hi Tomasz,
As per my understanding, you need to activate the file adapter for reading the XML files on your directory. Right?
If that is the case, then the issue might be with the Cache.
1. Clear the cache from the Integration Builder.
2. Check in SXI_CACHE whether there are any issues. Click on Delta Cache refresh to find out if there are any cache related issues.
Thanks,

Sener file adapter has read/pick the files first in first out method.

HI
In my Interface I am Using Sender as File adapter. As per my requirement Sender file adapter has to read the file from file directory. This directory having 1000u2019s of files with some files are same name (time stamp is different) and some files are different name here file adapter has to pick the file with mentioned name in File sender adapter like ZMPSMSGSTATUSMST-.xml .
But source file name is like <TABLENAME>-<TIME_STAMP>.XML (ZMPSWRKFLOWHIST-20090527-150522-628) in file directory.
The file adapter in XI will poll to this directory and picks the file in first- in first-out by sorting according to timestamp.
To do this configuration what I have to do in sender file adapter please give me your valuable inputs.

HI Abhi,
Thank you for your spot replay.
I tested now but i am geting below error.
Putting message into send queue failed, due to: com.sap.aii.af.ra.ms.api.DuplicateMessageException: Message ID f4ca4f86-9c5d-4bdd-1fb1-a6bd7cda99a8(OUTBOUND) already exists in database: com.sap.sql.DuplicateKeyException: [NWMss][SQLServer JDBC Driver][SQLServer]Violation of PRIMARY KEY constraint 'PK__XI_AF_MSG__491A1D0B'. Cannot insert duplicate key in object 'dbo.XI_AF_MSG'..
Could not archive file 'E:\file\in\ZMPSMSGSTATUSMST-20090527-150522-628.xml' after processing
but i am able to see this file in Archive foleder. once file is archivied sucessfully the same file is delted from source directory?
I given processing parametes queue name is TEST.

File Adapter cannot read from Unix Directory

Hello Everyone,
I have created a Bpel process that should read txt files from a Unix directory, but its not doing its job.
I have tried this process on windows and it works fine.
I got the following error from the process log in my bpel console.
my process compiles fine but I am getting this error: The value specified for the input (Physical/Logical)Directory activation parameter has an invalid value "/temp/test"
Also if there is something wrong with my path, please let me know.
Thanks in advanced,
AJ

Hi,
The path /temp/test might be wrong. Suppose you have installed SOA at /home/oracle/product/soa/10.1.3.1/<> , where /home is the root folder, and if you have your test folder at /home/temp/test, give the location in file adapter as /home/temp/test.
Let me know if you still get this error.
Thanks
Ramana.

Set a timeout for "read from text file"

I Need to read from a text file on a remote pc and use the read from text file function to do this. It wotks but sometimes this pc is down causing long wait times in my vi.
Is there a way to set a timeout for the read from text file function, or is there an other solution?
Thank you

You could check that the path is valid first before you attempt to read the file. hen put the file read in a True-False case structure based on the results of the check. You can use the function "Check if File or Folder Exists" It checks whether a file or folder exists on disk at a specified path. This VI works with standard files and folders as well as files in LLB files. The function is found in the File I/O --> Advanced File Functions palette.

Mike,
you were right, you may not specify the extension of a file.
Another thing i detected is that the loop of my data start with the index 1 instead of 0 !!!
In this scenario, i have to read all the lines of the file and each time i should do a SQL-query,
so that i can use the result to build my sales document.
Do you know if it this is possible or have you any idea how to do this ?
thx,
Mario

Read an avi file using "Read from binary file" vi

My question is how to read an avi file using "Read from binary file" vi .
My objective is to create a series of small avi files by using IMAQ AVI write frame with mpeg-4 codec of 2 second long (so 40 frames in each file with 20 fps ) and then send them one by one so as to create a stream of video. The image are grabbed from USB camera. If I read those frames using IMAQ AVI read frame then compression advantage would be lost so I want to read the whole file itself.
I read the avi file using "Read from binary file" with unsigned 8 bit data format and then sent to remote end and save it and then display it, however it didnt work. I later found that if I read an image file using "Read from binary file" with unsigned 8 bit data format and save it in local computer itself , the format would be changed and it would be unrecognizable. Am I doing wrong by reading the file in unsined 8 bit integer format or should I have used any other data types.
I am using Labview 8.5 and Labview vision development module and vision acquisition module 8.5
Your help would be highly appreciated.
Thank you.
Solved!

Hello,
Check out the (full) help message for "write to binary file"
The "prepend array or string size" input defaults to true, so in your example the data written to the file will have array size information added at the beginning and your output file will be (four bytes) longer than your input file. Wire a False constant to "prepend array or string size" to prevent this happening.

Sender File Adapter not able to get file via FTP from an external system

Hi,
I have a Sender File Adapter using FTP which polls a server every 10 seconds looking for a file ".xml". The adapter will connect and pick up the waiting file, but sometimes the adapter not able to get file via FTP from an external system. The file is on the server, but despite the polling, the adapter does not pick up it. There is no return error.
The connect mode is Permanently and the transfer mode is Binary.
Can you help me?
Thanks.
T.

Hi Teresa,
does this case appears with a file size higher the others?
Personally, I do not recommend to have a polling under 1min.
10s could be too just, if the file is not small and/or if the file server is far (several kilometers) to where the Adapter Engine is, and/or this file server is beside a firewall. Do not forget also that, with previous points, you could have like a conflict, betwen the 1st polling and the 2nd polling, if in less 10s PI adapter has not enough time: to connect to the FTP server (several Km), find the file (perhaps among 100 other files in the directory), go back to the file to Adapter Engine server (several Km again), convert your file to XML message (with a complex Content Conversion), then check the XML structure, and when all that is done, return back to FTP server (several Km), to archive the source file... Well It's my understanding of a FTP exchange with FILE adapter...
If you really need a 10s polling, that's mean your have a pseudo real time interface. In that case, in my mind file should not be used! but we should use a Web service, JDBC JMS (any exchange without a physical object like a file). For me, it's a non-sens to have a file in that case.

Reading from a file

Hi Friends,
I m new to java
In my java code i ll write a program for creating a virtual server. My java code ll also have "write to file method" where i ll write the outputs to the mentioned filename with proper path. But now i am in need of using a "reading from a file" for the output file name. File from where we are reading should be a kind of configration file from where we need to select the output file name where we need to store the results.
here is the sample code....
try {
java.io.BufferedWriter out = new java.io.BufferedWriter(new java.io.FileWriter("C:\\Documents and Settings\\admin\\Desktop\\RFTResults\\RFTOutputNegative1.txt"));
out.write("\r\n Virtual server RFT exists");
out.close();
} catch (java.io.IOException e) {}

Your question is not that much clear, my understanding from your question is that
You are trying to read the file name from the file(file name with exact location), and again reading the content from that specified file.
The code is below, this may help you,
import java.io.*;
public class readf {
     String fName = null;
     String line = null;
     String section = null;
     BufferedReader br = null;
     static String fileUrlStr = null;
     public readf() {
     public readf(String fName) {
          fName = fName;
     public String getFName(String fName) {
          try {
               br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(fName));
               line = br.readLine();
          } catch(Exception e) {
               System.out.println(e.getMessage());
          return line;
     public String getFContent(String fName) {
          try {
               br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(fName));
               while ((line=br.readLine())!=null) {
                    System.out.println(line);
          } catch(Exception e) {
               System.out.println(e.getMessage());
          return line;
     public static void main(String args[]) {
          readf rf = new readf();
          fileUrlStr = rf.getFName("C:\\java\\system.ini");
          System.out.println(fileUrlStr);
          rf.getFContent(fileUrlStr);
//Note:
//0) I have placed all the files under c:\java directory
//1) File content of system.ini is "C:\\java\\mytarget.txt"
//2) File content of mytarget.txt is
//          This is first line

FILE ADAPTER NOT READING FILE.

HI, GUYS.
I'M USING A FILE ADAPTER TO READ A FILE THAT HAVE 4 REGISTERS AND EACH REGISTER ONLY HAS ONE FIELD THAT IS NUMBER TYPE.
I CREATE THE FILE ADAPTER, AND I LET BPEL TO CREATE THE SCHEMA. THE IDE CALLS THES FIELD "C1". I ALSO CONFIGURE THAT THE FILE THAT MUST RAD IS THE PATTERN "*.TXT" AND EVERY 5 SECONDS.
THEN A CREATE A RECEIVE ACTIVITY THAT RECEIVES WHAT WAS READ FROM THE FILE ADAPTER IN A VARIABLE.
THEN I CREATE AN ASSIGN ACTIVITY AND I ASSIGN THE VALUE FROM THE RECEIVE ACTIVITY VARIABLE TO A NUMBER VARIABLE THAT IS THE INPUT OF A WEB SERVICE.
THEN I DEPLOY THE BPEL, AND I INITIATE IT, BUT I GOT AN ERROR THAT SAYS THAT THE FIELD "C1" IS EMPTY. SO LOOKS LIKE THE FILE ADAPTER IS NOT READING THE FILE. I WOULD THANK ANY HELP THAT YOU CAN BRING ME.

caps off
You're sure the interface of the fileadapter (client partnerlink) is the same as your data-file which needs to be picked up?
can you paste the content of the file and the content of the xsd of the process.

Multiple File Location in Read operation in File Adapter.

Hi,
I am using File Adapter for Read operation. Normally we would make a Logical Directory for reading files at that location. But I have come up with a scenario where we need to read file from 6 different File locations.
Is there any way that the same BPEL process can read file from 6 different locations.
OR
Do I need to make 6 BPEL processes to read file from 6 different locations.
I am using Oracle SOA 10.1.3.4 and JDeveloper 10.1.3.4.
Will really appreciate if someone can help in this regard.
Thanks for the needful.
Cheers,
Varun

Hi Oracler,
Thanks for your reply.
As suggested, the BPEL process with six different file adapters for six different directories and put them on each of the six branches of the pick activity. Will there be any performance oriented issues if you use six adapters for polling at 6 different locations??
Also, the other solution that you have provided from this link Re: Can we have dynamic folder for Polling in BPEL works fine. One of a problem that I encounter while using this solution is that everytime you do any chnages in your BPEL process, the entries from bpel.xml are missing.
Thanks for the needful.
Cheers,
Varun

Help: Servlet can't read from properties file

I am working on a web application running in Tomcat on Linux.My java source file reads some parameters from a properties file (data.properties)in the same directory. This works well in a simple application. However, if it is used in the Tomcat environment, it can't be read by a servlet file (LoginServlet.java). I put both the "LoginServlet.class" and "data.properties" in the following directory: /webapps/myapp/WEB-INF/classes. When I run the web application in Tomcat, the error is "data.properties not found". What is the problem? Do I need to modify my "web.xml" and/or Tomcat's "server.xml"? If so, how to modify them?
This web application contains a lot of serlets. So I don't want to hardcode the parameters into the servlet codes.
Any info will be appreciated. Thanks in advance!:)

Putting the properties file in webapps/myapp may or may not help.
My assumption is that you are trying to open the file by brute force, with something like
InputStream propis = new FileInputStream ("data.properties");
Properties props = new Properties ( );
props.load (propis);
What you want is to have the class loader find a file in the same place as the class file, and give you back an input stream reading from that file, which you can then pass to the Properties.load(InputStream) method. This is called a "resource," and the way to do it is:
InputStream propis = getServletContext().getResourceAsStream("data.properties");
// remaining code as above
This will cause the class loader for the servlet context (a/k/a the Web application) to find the file in the same manner as it might find a class, but instead of treating it as compiled JVM code, and loading it, it simply passes you back an InputStream from which you do whatever you want.
Cheers!

UPDATE : Toshiba Recovery Wizard 'cannot read from source file or disk' error (satellite L500)

UPDATE 2: Phoned Toshiba tech support again, guided by techie to begin the recovery again. Just before phoning I was able to go into recovery options and view the drive setup and all the files that couldn't be read are on the CD so I've no idea why the error kept occuring, and neither did the techie. Fingers crossed it works this time but I'm not overly hopefully given that we've just done exactly the same as I did before. UPDATE 1: I got into the BIOS and reset everything back to defaults and yay, my toshiba recovery wizard now starts! :-D On the down side, when trying to do a factory default software / out of the box recovery I continually get error messages with regards to copying the files, for example
cannot read from source file or disk
7z.dll
Type application extension
size 585kb
date modified 7/14/2009 10.26pm
other read / copy errors include PREINST6.SWM, BOOT_32, BOOTPRIORITY, CHECKMAXPTSIZE, CHGBOOT, CPU, CPUCHECK, CREATEPARTITION, CTRLDRVINFO, DISKWIPE, DMI, DPINST32, EBLIB.DLL, ERRORDIALOG, EW3BOOTSEQ, FWLINK, FWLINK.SYS, GETHDDINFO, GETKEYSTATE, IMAGEX, INFILED, INITRECAREA, KRAIADAPI.DLL ..... at which point I decided to 'skip all' :-/
Any explanations as to what's going on and how I might be able to fix it would be very much appreciated! :-) Thank you!
I have a two and half year old satellite L500 with an Intel i-3 and 4 gigs of RAM, on which I was running Windows 7.
Admittedly it’s had rather a hard life (I ran some very demanding CAD / graphics software on it) but it had always performed well until just recently, when after suffering several BSOD (which had never happened before), the hard drive failed.
I partitioned and formatted a brand new hard drive (which is perfectly fine and functions normally when hooked up to another laptop with a SATA to USB cable) and obtained system recovery discs from Toshiba. Unfortunately, when I try and run the first disc, windows starts to load files but then generates an error screen with the message Error F3-F100-0003 and a request to turn the computer off.
When I use the windows Memory Diagnostic to get into the Windows Boot Manager Screen I get the following;
Windows failed to start. A recent hardware / software change might be the case.
To fix the problem
Insert your windows installation disc and restart your computer
Choose your language settings and click ‘next’
Click ‘repair your computer’
File: \boot\memtest.exe
Status: 0xc000000f
Info: the selected entry could not be loaded because the application is missing or corrupt.
I can also use F8 on startup to get into the advanced boot options but selecting any of them simply results in the F3-F100-0003 error message. I’ve run a memory test using the UBCD, which tells me the memory is fine, and tried another hard drive (which also works perfectly well in another laptop) but no joy. On phoning Toshiba support the techie said my hard drive had failed, but as I say, both hard drives are perfectly fine / usable when hooked up to another laptop. I’m now completely stuck as to what the problem is and how I might resolve it – any advice / suggestions would be most gratefully received! Thank you in advance :-)

Downloads here.
the second disc gives me the the "cannot read from source file or disk PREINST8.SWM"
My best guess is that the disc is not readable. Try copying it to another. Sometimes that works.
Otherwise, order new discs from Toshiba.
