File Adapter Wizard Step 4

I'd like to write out a message variable to a file. When I use the file adapter, the wizard asks for a schema in step 4. There is no xsd schema defined for the message.
I tried using the "Schema is Opaque" checkbox to create the partnerlink but then I get a type mismatch between the message I want to write out and the opaque "Write_msg" of the adapter.
What should I do to write out a message using the file adapter when there is no xsd? How do I get past step 4 in the wizard? Is there an example somewhere?
Thanks,
Bret

Google's wsdl is available for download to the local file system. It's not available dynamically via an API, at least not that I've been able to find. Perhaps because they require you to sign a license agreement checkbox and access via an API would not satisfy their legal department? I guess we need a new WS* specification: WS-Legal or WS-Licensing.
I did create my partner link just as you described. My local file is called GoogleSearch.wsdl and the partner link wizard creates a file called GoogleSearchRef.wsdl. But there is no xsd created.
Maybe the only workaround is to chop the message definition out of the wsdl file and manually create an xsd. But that would be a severe support workload, since Google's wsdl may change from time to time and a new xsd would then have to be generated. Perhaps the process of generating an xsd from a wsdl could be automated. What do you think?

File Adapter Wizard - Native Format Builder - no spaces in header?

My project uses a vendor supplied, delimited text file. The first row of the file is a header, followed by data rows. The problem is that the header elements contain spaces, Which are not acceptable by the Native Format Builder.
Has anyone experienced this before and know of a good work-around? Or, is this a known issue?

You can make use of the attribute "headerLines" in the top level "schema" tag. It would look something like this nxsd:headerLines="1".
This will skip first header line and will start from line number 2.

Hope it helps.

File Adapter fixed length Native format Builder schema not reading the data as expected

Hi
We are using a File Adapter for reading a fixed length data. Using the schema we are able to read the file but the places are incorrect. Following is the schema that we used and the payload.
At the last you can find our expected read of data how it should be.
With out the record type code we are not even reading the file. Hope there should be a correction in the schema. Please suggest

at step 8 of 9 of the file adapter wizard, the icon appears as a cog, on the right, with caption "define schema for native format".

The problem might be with the version of the SOA extensions you have installed....

File Adapter - Native format Builder button not Appearing

Hi,
When We go through the file adapter wizard and on the screen where we define the schema, there is a button 'Native format builder'. But on Jdeveloper Version - 11.1.1.3.0, it is not appearing. Has this been removed in this release?
regards,
Rajesh

Two file adapter questions

First, can someone post a URL for detailed file adapter documentation?
Second, I'm a little confused how to use the file adapter in the case where I'm writing out a message whose schema is contained in one of the wsdl files instead of in an xsd file.
The particular case is that I call the Google search service, which returns a message of type doGoogleSearchResponse. The schema for this message is embedded in the google.wsdl file from Google. When I browse in the file adapter wizard to choose a schema for the write operation, I can only see schema from my projectName.xsd file, none from the google.wsdl file (even though it's in the project). How can I use the file adapter to write out the Google search reply?
Thanks,
Bret

Hmmm. Step 4 of the file adapter wizard requires me to specify a "Message Schema". There is no apparant way to get past that step without choosing one. Should I just choose any schema in the project and then go back and fix the code?
Bret

Can I use a schema with no targetnamespace with the file adapter?

I am loading a file using a file adapter configured to use an xsd from a third party, the third party controls the xsd and incoming xml and does not have a targetnamespace defined in the xsd or xml.
When I define a file adapter for it the wizard indicates that I need to fix the xsd by adding a namespace. I dont have control over the xsd or xml as they are an external party.
I think I can hand edit the wsdl and change the import statement that requires a namespace to an include statement with no namespace.
Have you run into this before? Will that work?
Thanks,
John

Hi John,
Did we get any solution for this ?
Even in our case, the third party controls the xsd & incoming xml message. Both does not have a targetnamespace defined. The file adapter wizard indicates that we need to fix the xsd by adding a namespace. As a workaround, we manually added the target namespace to xsd and created file adapater. Now the question is how do we automatically add the name space in xml message as well, so that it can be parsed by BPEL process
thanks

File-adapter with Dynamic Directory/Filenames in Header-variables

Hi,
I have looked through the file-adapter documentation. And it says that you can use wildcards/regexpressions/dynamic file and directory names using the file-adapter-wizard. Also you can use the header-variables to specify the file and directory names at run-time.
Is it also possible to use the dynamic names using the header-variables?
I want to create a process that I can give in the file/directory-names at run-time and that it will look for a file using the wild-cards to pickup. Since at run-time I often do not know the name of the file, since it might contain a sequence or date/time-stamp. But I do know the location and the structure of the file name (that is specified at config-time).
The same question for outbound: if I specify a name in the header-variables with forexample '%seq%' in the name, like 'filename_%seq%.XML', will it then create the file with the sequence?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Martien

Hi,
I've been trhough this document over and over again, but did not find anything on how to do it actually. But I found out that the file-outbound-header wsdl does not contain a directory element after generation by the wizard. But you can add it afterwards.
Also you can replace the location attribute in the jca:address element of the adapter-wsdl by mcf properties (host, username, password) and override them by copying the values to the partnerlink using bpelx:properties.
I planned to put the details in my blog.
Regards,
Martien

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 become second step in the ccBPM (filename base on the input)

Hi XI Expert,
Could you help to advise me, what i should o with this scenario :
i have ccBPM scenario :
1. monitoring database table (using JDBC adapter), query filepath information and update
status accordingly after process.
2. read xml file (name and path base on the first step).
my problem is how to pass filepath and filename to file adapter, becase as i know file adapter (sender) only
can monitoring fix directory and file (patter).
Thank you
Fernand

Use Adapter-Specific Message Attributes and map that value in udf to the BPM message.

Unable to delete file after in a file adapter

Hello,
I have a BPEL process , which gets invoked when there is a new .PDX file in a folder. After processing the data from the file , I want to move into the archive folder. The process moves the file properly to the archive folder, but I am unable to delete the file from the folder I read it from.
One solution that worked was forcibly dehydrating the process using a checkpoint(). But that seems a very inefficient solution considering its expensive to do this step. Does any one else have a better solution?
Thanks

Just check the option "Delete after reading" in Adapter wizard if that is something you can do.. Adapter automatically deletes it once the file is moved to archive..

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
Wish helpful to you

What is the role of Schema in File Adapter

I am configuring File Adapter during the configuration step - 6 two options are there Schema is Opaque & Schema file url, what is the difference between these two and why it is needed? If It is required then what are the elements should be present at schema?

+"If native format translation is not required (for example, a JPG or GIF image is being processed), then select the Native format translation is not required check box. The file is passed through in base-64 encoding.+
+XSD files are required for translation. If you want to define a new schema or convert an existing data type definition (DTD) or COBOL Copybook, then select Define Schema for Native Format. This starts the Native Format Builder wizard. This wizard guides you through the creation of a native schema file from file formats such as comma-separated value (CSV), fixed-length, DTD, and COBOL Copybook. After the native schema file is created, the Messages page is displayed, with the Schema File URL and Schema Element fields filled in. For more information, see Creating Native Schema Files with the Native Format Builder Wizard."+

And I would just add that if you really want an asynch process (or just a one-way process), it might be easier to start over and select that choice in the BPEL process creation wizard. Modifying the wsdl is not for beginners, IMHO.
When I create one-way processes, I start with an asynch process - and just delete the "callbackClient" step that the wizard creates.
