FTP adapter is working different

Hi all,
I have moved all the PI interfaces from XI 3.0 SP14 in Windows to PI7.0 SP14 in AIX 5.3.
We have found a different behaviour in FTP adapter as when it is writting a filein the target legacy, it is adding a special character at the end of each line -the carriage return is now a square-. In XI in Windows we did not have anything at the end of theline. This is happening when we are transfereing the data as Text -we are not sure if we have the same behaviour with Binary-.
We are not sure if it is related to the application upgrade or to the OS. Can anyone help us with us and let us know how can we delete this character?
Thanks a lot
Diana

Hi,
Transfer the file in binary, i think you shouldnt be getting this error if you transfer file in binary format.
Thanks,
Vijay Kuma T.

SOA FTP Adapter stops working abruptly

Hi All,
I have a ftp service which provides XML file streams real-time on a remote machine. I connect to this FTP server using the SOA FTP adapter and process files by polling based on timestamp every 3 seconds.
The issues I face are
1) The ftp adapter stop working abruptly. Has anybody faced this issue, if yes how can this be resolved?
2) The XML files comes to FTP location at the rate 2 files per second. Ideally I want to procss this files real-time using FTP adapter. But the backlog build is causing issues. How do I fix it?
3) If there is any downtime in production how should the SOA FTP application be activated after restart.
Also, what are the other FTP adapter configuration required to optimize the SOA FTP application to meet my business purpose.

I am using SOA 11g Fusion Middleware. The error I am getting in the logs are as follows:

Sender FTP Adapter not working with certain name

Hello,
We're facing the next problem within XI.
We configured a sender FTP adapter within the central adapter engine. This adapter is configured correctly however for some reason it is not picking up any file from the FTP server.
Changing status to inactive-> active again all kinds of modes and configs we tested.
However when copying this non-working adapter to a new one with a different name (Configuration is exactly the same!!!!!) and use this one in the sender agreement it worked immediately.
Somebody else faced similar problems and managed to solve it because for this error we don't want to adjust our naming conventions....
Thanks,
Emile

Hi Emile,
This could happen when AE cache is not getting updated.
Goto SXI_CACHE.

FTP adapter doesnt work after restart

Hi,
We have a FTP adapter that stops working if the server is restarted. After investigation, we found the below error in log files.
XSD Resolution problem.
XSD Resolution problem.
Unable to load Translation schemas from for http://TargetNamespace.com/MYDATA_FILE due to: Unable to lookup schema for 'http://TargetNamespace.com/MYDATA_FILE'
Please make sure all used XML schemas are imported/included correctly.
Is there anybody who knows about this problem and share the solution or workaround?
Thanks

The solution is either change the order of deployment or copy the FileAdapter.rar file in $ORACLE_HOME/lib location and restart the server as mentioned here.

AQ/FTP adapter not working

I am a newbie to oracle interconnect 9i and learning it from the oracle documentation.
I successfully created DB to DB publish/subscribe example and worked on cross referencing as well. Now I am working on AQ and FTP examples. I have following doubts
1. I created the aqapp application for AQ example given in oracle interconnect 9i documentation. My adapter service started successfully.
When I execute the procedure given in the example, to enqueue the xml_raw_q1 queue then the procedure completes successfully but the adapter reacts nothing. I am not sure whether my message is enqueued or not and if it does then why my adapter don’t pick up the message.
2. Regarding FTP, I tried to develop an example for it but was not able to do so. In oracle documentation for FTP adapters, there is no demo example given in oracle documentation as was given for DB adapters. So if someone can provide the same or similar then it will be quite helpful to me to understand FTP adapters as well.

FTP Adapter - Not Working

Hi All
I created the BPEL process to FTP csv file from FTP Server with FTP Get Adapter with file type "ASCII" mode. Even i mentioned the directory name for incoming files as "/u12/usrvis/noble" and provided "Input.csv" file name in Incoming files with name pattern and made poll frequency to 1 sec.
The path mentioned for directory name here is physical path and it is existing as it is in the server also.
But when i run the process, it is not ftp ing the Input.csv file from FTP server to my local machine.
Please help me out.
Thanks

FTP adapter problems

Hi all,
I'm having some problems with the FTP adapter.
About two months ago I did an ESB project which reads from an FTP and writes the files in a local directory.
I noticed that I had to change this parameter oracle.tip.adapter.file.numProcessorThreads=1 in the integration\esb\config\pc.properties.esb en integration\esb\config\ pc.properties file, for the FTP adapter to work all right. And it has been working for a long time.
The issue is, that now, I deploy this same ESB project to the same server and is not working. No files are being copied to my local directory. Furthermore, there are no instances in the ESB Control either.
I haven't changed anything so I don't understand why this is happening.
I set the log trace to FINEST and I found this trace for a lot of files in the log:
JCA: Poller enqueuing file for processing :/200704110041_r01g0020.gif
JCA: Ignoring File : 200704110041_r01g0020.gif as it is already enqued for processing.
So, there are no errors showing in the log but the adapter is not working.
Any tips about this? It is very important because we have to put this project in the production machine....
Thanks for your help.

Hi Mark,
Thank you for your response, I have post the service request already. So far, I haven't got any answers and I have been trying to deploy this same project in different servers.
I get different results everytime without changing anything. In the test environment I just get the first error I post in this thread. In my local server I get a fatal error that I have already reported in this forum with the subject "FatalError FTP Adapter", and I write it here again.

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.
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) ] - : The Adapter Framework was unable to establish an outbound JCA connection due to the following issue: ORABPEL-12510
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

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.

FTP adapter --- Not picking up files

Hi,
I have set up an FTP adapter in archive mode to read files from FTP server and process it while archiving a copy of it. I have set up Poll interval at 40 secs and retry interval also set up. It works great the first time . Processes the file and archives it. But when the same files comes in again in the FTP server, I see the foll. message in the adapter monitor "Error: Stopped due to error: com.sap.aii.adapter.file.ftp.FTPEx: inputdat.txt: No such file or directory: No such file or directory."..The file exists in the FTP server but its not processed..I am not sure what I am missing...
-Teresa

Hi Michal,
I have timestamp set up for archive directory..So every run will create an archive file with timestamp..But the input filename remains the same..Archive functionality would remove the file inthe FTP server..So when the file comes again into the FTP server, the FTP adapter doesn't trigger automatically. Everytime I had to activate the IB for FTP adapter to trigger the process. I know this is not how XI-FTP adapter should work..Our scenario is we would receive weekly files into the FTP adpater with the same name. We need to archive each weekly file and also send it for further processing..I can't be activating the process manually ....I know something is going wrong but can't figure it out...:(..Any help is appreciated...:)

FTP Adapter error: SLDAccess

Hello everyone!
When XI picks up an XML using the FTP adapter (sender), I get this error message:
<b><i>Error: com.sap.aii.af.ra.ms.api.ConfigException: Some of the IS access information is not available. SLDAcess property may be set to true, but SLD is not available.</i></b>
in the Comm. Channel monitoring. No message is processed in the Integration Engine.
Would anyone know what could be causing this error?

Hi,
Check if your FTP adapter is working.
Also check connection between XI and FTPSERVER.

Sender FTP Adapter - Archive faulty files not working

Hello,
We are on SAP PI 7.11 SP 06
We have a scenario where we are reading CSV files from a FTP location.
File Sender Adapter is polling the FTP location for CSV files, if there
is any error during FCC we need to move the faulty file under a
particular directory on FTP server.
Archive faulty files tick is click under the communication channel and
also the required directory is specified, but the functionality is not
working.
If there is a faulty file it is just adding a rejected prefix to the
file and keeping the file in the polling directory. It is not moving
the file in the rejected directory specified in the communication
channel.
Thanks & Regards,
Rahul Nawale

Are you trying to archive the file on the same FTP server or a different FTP server? Archiving the faulty file on the FTP server might not have expected results. And if you are trying to archive the file on a separate FTP server, it wouldn't probably be achieved using the simple file adapter functionalities.
The best way would be to archive the faulty files to an NFS location on your PI server (this will certainly work, even if it's FTP mode) and then use a separate script or PI interface (file tunneling) to move these files from PI server File System to FTP archive location.

FTP Adapter setting filename at runtime not working

Hi,
I am facing an issue SOA 11.1.1.5 with FTP Adapter setting the filename at runtime. I have a process that reads a file from local server and puts it over to a remote FTP Server.
I want to use the same filename that is picked up locally and placed on the ftp location. Below is the snippet of FTP Invoke and the filename is read from a variable which is set before the invoke
<invoke name="Invoke_PutFile"
inputVariable="Invoke_PutFile_PutFile_InputVariable"
partnerLink="PutFile" portType="ns2:PutFile_ptt"
operation="PutFile" bpelx:invokeAsDetail="no">
<bpelx:inputProperty name="jca.file.TargetFileName" variable="targetFileName"/>
</invoke>
Here is the FTP jca file snippet
<endpoint-interaction portType="PutFile_ptt" operation="PutFile">
<interaction-spec className="oracle.tip.adapter.ftp.outbound.FTPInteractionSpec">
<property name="LogicalDirectory" value="FtpDir"/>

<property name="Append" value="false"/>
<property name="TargetFileName" value="setAtRunTime"/>
<property name="NumberMessages" value="1"/>
</interaction-spec>
</endpoint-interaction>
But when I test I am getting an error, it's complaining Cannot set JCA WSDL Property. Error while setting JCA WSDL Property. Property setTargetFileName is not defined for oracle.tip.adapter.ftp.outbound.FTPInteractionSpec Please verify the spelling of the property. ".

If I use *<property name="FileNamingConvention" value="%yyMMddHHmmssSS%_%SEQ%.txt"/>* inside the jca file it works but I want to use the filename at runtime and be the same name as it's picked up.
Any idea what I am doing wrong.

FTP Adapter in SOA10.1.3.4.0 MLR4 doesn't work and no errors either

Hi All:
First my env summary:
I have install SOA10.1.3.4.0 (with MLR4) on my laptop (Windows XP). Also I have install Filezilla Server on same laptop.
In Fillezilla, I have configured a ftp location to "F:\MyFTPServer" directory. F drive is a local drive on my laptop. Also I have created a user called "soa" with password "soa" to be able to access this FTP server.
Under F:\MyFTPServer directory, I have 3 sub folders:
In -- to get file
Out -- to drop the file
Archive -- to archive the file after get and drop
I have successfully accessed this ftp server from other computer using either MS-DOS FTP command or FTP software (e.g. WinSCP) as user "soa". I am able to drop file to "In" dirrectory and get file from "Out" directory.
Above confirms my FTP server is ready to be used.
Next, in SOA 10.1.3.4.0 AS console, I have create a new Connection Factory called "*eis/Ftp/myFtpServer*" (there is a seeded one called eis/Ftp/FtpAdapter and I didn't touch/configure it).
the following is the settings for eis/Ftp/myFtpServer
host: my laptop computer name
port: 21
ftpAbsolutePathBegin: /
ftpPathSeparator: /
listParserKey: WIN
username: soa
password: soa
serverType: win
for the rest settings, I leave as default.
Then, I create a simple BPEL process with following components:
One FTP Adapter called "MyFTP" with following parameters:
<jca:operation
FileType="ascii"
PhysicalDirectory="In"
ActivationSpec="oracle.tip.adapter.ftp.inbound.FTPActivationSpec"
PhysicalArchiveDirectory="Archive"
DeleteFile="true"
IncludeFiles=".*\.csv"
PollingFrequency="60"
MinimumAge="60"
FileModificationTime="FileSystem"
ModificationTimeFormat="4,18,yyyyMMddHHmmSS"
OpaqueSchema="false"
</jca:operation>
<service name="MyFTP">
<port name="GetFile_pt" binding="tns:GetFile_binding">
<jca:address location="*eis/Ftp/myFtpServer*" UIincludeWildcard="*.csv" />
</port>

I create one Receive activity to get file from "MyFTP" FTP Adapter.
Using above setting, my intention is to poll any file (*.csv) from F:\MyFTPServer\In directory and receive it into my receive activity.
I deployed my project to SOA application server and stop/restart my SOA application once.
Now, the real stuff begins:
I dropped 2 simple, very small (size < 1KB) files called sample.csv and sample2.csv to F:\MyFTPServer\In diretory.
In my domain.log file, I can see my BPEL process is starting polling every 1 minute without any error:
<2010-09-16 15:29:25,015> <INFO> <default.collaxa.cube.activation> <File Adapter::Inbound> Managed Connection Created
<2010-09-16 15:29:25,015> <INFO> <default.collaxa.cube.activation> <File Adapter::Inbound> Connection Created
<2010-09-16 15:30:25,016> <INFO> <default.collaxa.cube.activation> <File Adapter::Inbound> Managed Connection Created
<2010-09-16 15:30:25,016> <INFO> <default.collaxa.cube.activation> <File Adapter::Inbound> Connection Created
Meanwhile, I am observing Filezilla server log and it clearly said every one minute (the timestamp match to bpel domain.log 100%), user "soa" login to this FTP server and list both files (sample.csv and sample2.csv) in "In" directory. Then it quits.
However, I don't see any BPEL instance is created (In my BPEL project, I have cheched "Create Instance" when create my receive activity). And both files are still there in "In" folder. Per my configuration of "MyFTP" FTP adapter, the file should be deleted after it is polled successfully (*DeleteFile*="true")

I am bit of confused. In my case, there is no any error anywhere; however, FTP Adapter in my bpel project doesn't poll file either. It does login to FTP server every one minute; did a list command; then quit.
You may suggest I change the following 2 settings in my bpel project:
FileModificationTime="FileSystem"
ModificationTimeFormat="4,18,yyyyMMddHHmmSS"
however, I think they are set correctly, because it match to MDTM command result in my Filezilla server log (see above and below). The modificaiton time format starts at position 4 and ends with position 18 with correct mask
(000137)9/16/2010 15:30:25 PM - soa (10.1.90.187)> MDTM /In/sample2.csv
(000137)9/16/2010 15:30:25 PM - soa (10.1.90.187)> 213 *20100916184802*
Can anyone offer me some help? I am desperately want make this work so that I can show this example to others here.
Thanks in advance!

How does TimeOut(Sec) works/ behave in FTP Adapter?

Hi ,
How does TimeOut(Sec) works/ behave in FTP Adapter?
Lets Say : If I mention 300 Secs in this . How Should it behave ??
if a file processing in adapter is taking more then 300 sec , will it also be terminated ??? what error response i will get in such case.
Regards
Prabhat Sharma.

Hi,
if there's a network error the channel may hang (for a very long time)
if you specify 300 secs after that time the channel will reset the connection and you can start pooling again
for more details:

FTP adapter is working different
