FTP Adapter pickup the file meanwhile the file is transfering

Hello,
we have a follow problem: We transfer some big files manually in a ftp directory. If the adapter connect the directory concurrent as we transfer the file, he'll pick up the incomplete file and processed this. The problem is now, we get an error message in XI Monitoring. After this, we put the file form archive directory (same server) in the "normal" directory and the ftp adapter pick up the file, all is okay. My question is: It is possible, you can create a check or a parameter setting, if the file is complete transferred, first then could start the ftp adapter.
Remark: We increase and decrease the polling parameter and we're teseted with changing the paramter connect mode, without success.
Thanks for your help.

Hi,
You can execute a shell script to change the file name of the completed file . So the job of script is to rename the complete file.And then give this file name in the File Adapter configuration.
Did you check the option of Read-Only Files ( if you are using NFS protocol) ? If so uncheck and try it..

FTP adapter for Oracle Service Bus - retrieve file by dynamic file name.

Hi
I am newbie in OSB. I try to use FTP transport in Workshop, it must fill in "Prefix" and "Suffix" for destination file name.
But for us, the file name is sent by external systems.
The workflow is:
1. External system call our proxy services.
2. Proxy service get file name from SOAP message.
3. Proxy Service get the file from FTP server.
4. The file send to Business services.
Any suggestions to implement about workflows?

Let me first put here what I understand about the flow:
External Sytem -->(filename)--> OSB HTTP PS --> (1) --> OSB FTP BS --> Read file based on filename
|--> (2) --> send file ontent to another system or return to the original system
If that is the flow, then I beileve ther is no straight forward way to implement it in OSB.
OSB FTP BS will only write a file to FTP Location.
If you create a JCA FTP Adapter for reading the file, then you can use it only to create a Proxy Service, and that proxy will not pick up the file when called from another service but only when a file is put on the source FTP location.
So, to implement the solution you will need to use Java Callout to a class which has code written to accept the file name as input, read the file from an FTP location and return the file content.
This is my understanding of how it is, may be there is another way to implement this or in fact may be the latest version of OSB 11.1.1.4 or 11.1.1.5 JCA adapter does support read operation within a flow instead of just at the start of the flow.

Service callout can ONLY be used to call Proxy/Business services which are two-way, i.e. which have a response as well. You can not use Service Callout to call a one way service (for ex. a business service to publish a message to JMS queue or MQ queue).
For calling such services you should use Publish action and use QoS option as Exactly-Once within Publish action if you want to catch any errors in Put/Publish.

Sender FTP Adapter, text mode should convert source file?

Hi !
We have a Unix file system where systems and people drop files to be captured by XI. XI runs also on another Unix system.
We configured the Sender FTP comm channel from XI to use the TEXT mode, to have converted the captured file to Unix TEXT (eol = 0x0A), no matter the format of the file used to transfer the source file to the XI polling folder.
But we noticed that TEXT or BINARY modes in sender FTP adapter works all the same, like binary.
What are we doing wrong?
Thanks,
Matias

No. to see the difference put a gif and give txt in file adapter you will get an error for the same file u use binary it works.
their is difference b/w these . if you use special characters like european then you need to use UTF-8 or UTF-16 or bigInidan if it is binary then you output will junk charaters for these sysmobls

FTP adapter: exc. 550 : No such file or directory

Hi Men,
I'm working on 7.0 version.
I am facing a problem with FTP adapter.
In few words, I configured a CC FTP sender to get files from a remote server (in test mode).
As I start this channel, CC monitor retrieves the following error message:
"Could not process file '<getThisFile>.xml': com.sap.aii.adapter.file.ftp.FTPEx: 550 outbox: No such file or directory."
where '<getThisFile>.xml' is filename and "outbox" is the directory.
I presume that it recognizes the filename and the directory but the error message says "dir or file are wrongs".
I tried the same action by command line with same user and password ftp. Result: I was able to get this file from dir "outbox".
...I should exclude a file permission problem.
Here below, some Logs from "default.trc" file:
#1.5#001125BDB332006E000000390006802E0004400DCACAD490#1196327887885#com.sap.aii.adapter.file.File2XI##com.sap.aii.adapter.file.File2XI.processFtpList()#J2EE_GUEST#0####ff6d7bd09e5b11dc9e34001125bdb332#XI File2XI[CC_FTP_SND_Order_new/BS_Arianna_DEV/]_57##0#0#Error#1

BS_Arianna_DEV related Business Service.

Hi friends,
FTP server is a Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]
When I log in, I only change in a sub dir called outbox.
If I put back slash before (for WinOS), the dir path is wrong (cd \outbox should mean that outbox is under root).
Some FTP server logs:
Nov 29 09:40:00 golem ftpd[25272]: USER 8023******
Nov 29 09:40:00 golem ftpd[25272]: PASS password****
Nov 29 09:40:00 golem ftpd[25272]: SYST
Nov 29 09:40:00 golem ftpd[25272]: TYPE Image
Nov 29 09:40:00 golem ftpd[25272]: CWD outbox
Nov 29 09:40:00 golem ftpd[25272]: PASV
Nov 29 09:40:00 golem ftpd[25272]: LIST orders*
Nov 29 09:40:00 golem ftpd[25272]: CWD outbox
Nov 29 09:40:00 golem ftpd[25272]: QUIT
I suppose that XI works fine and FTP server receives two times the "cd outbox" command. II also suppose that this Windows FTP server memorizes the subdir "outbox" each time I log in by FTP with user "8023******"

Hi Rama Krishna
Are you saying that you are transferring data of your
internal table to another server using a FM??? Am not
sure if that can be done.
How about trying this way????
Download the data to a file on your application
server, using open dataset statement. Then transfer this
file to the other server using FM's FTP_CONNECT, FTP_COMMAND ....

FTP adapter converting "&" to "&" while creating XML file.

Hi
Using a BPEL process: I am fetching data from a DB and placing that data into a XML file on target. One of the fields (Type:Varchar2) contains "&" ampersand character.When this data is being put in an XML, the target file contains "&amp;" instead of "&".
Please note: This seems to be happening only when the XML file is created on target; Because I can see that during the transformation as well as in the input variable to FTPPut adapter "&" is shown as "&" only (and not "&amp;").
Please let me know in what way can we avoid this conversion of "&" to "&amp;" on the target XML file".
Thanks for the help!
Regards,
Achal Mundra
Edited by: rameshchandra on Nov 5, 2012 11:53 PM

Thanks Anuj.
I actually needed that the target file should also be without any namespace references or XML headers(e.g. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>). We have got the following data as the input to the FTP adapter :
+<TempStringToRemoveNS_Var>+
+<RadiantDocument CreationSource="CompanyName" CreationTimestamp="2012-11-06T05:12:39.009-08:00" Name="Org Hierarchy Import" Version="1.8">+
+<OrgHierarchyList>+
+<OrgHierarchy Name="ABC" LongName="NewLongName" ParentOrgHierarchyName="XYZ" OrgHierarchyLevelName="Region"/>+
+</OrgHierarchyList>+
+</RadiantDocument>+
+</TempStringToRemoveNS_Var>+
We need the target XML file to have data exactly as below:
+<RadiantDocument Name="Org Hierarchy Import" CreationSource="CompanyName" CreationTimestamp="2011-02-28T02:48:32" Version="1.8">+
+<OrgHierarchyList>+
+<OrgHierarchy Name="ABC" LongName="NewLongName" ParentOrgHierarchyName="XYZ" OrgHierarchyLevelName="Region"/>+
+</OrgHierarchyList>+
+</RadiantDocument>+
Hence, it should not have any parent node or XML header or namespace.
Your suggestion would be really helpful.

How to find the File name using the FTP Adapter

hi all,
how to find the File name using the FTP Adapter with BPEL.
Regards

Found the solution for this.
First In the mediator's routing rule use assign property $in.property.jca.file.FileName to $out.property.jca.file.FileName
In the BPEL's receive activity go to the properties tab and get the property to a BPEL variable. That should do it.
Thanks for the posts

FTP Adapter polling lowercase or uppercase files using single adapter

Hello All,
I was wondering if we can use a single FTP Adapter to poll Lowercase or Uppercase files. For example either abc*.txt or ABC*.txt.
Does the FTP adapter by default support this option, because its not working in my Case and if its supported does it depend on the FTP server settings/security.
Help is much appreciated.
Thanks
Kris

How does it decide which files to pickup ? It will pick up files with modification dates more recent than the last processed file.
sometimes it picks up all old files from FTP directoryIf it is picking up the same files, probably it is not being able to calculate the modification dates.
That can be a configuration problem, take a look at this:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17904_01/integration.1111/e10231/adptr_file.htm#BABECEGD
Note: We are not deleting already read files from the folderProbably, not a good thing to do. May you can archive them instead.

Process TIFF file from FTP server using File/FTP adapter

Hi,
I have a requirement to process a scanned document TIFF file from a directory on an FTP server using the File/FTP adapter and process through XI into a Web Service via a receiver SOAP adapter.
My question is can the file/FTP adapter be used to process the TIFF file into XI from an FTP server ? Also, what settings need to be made on the file adapter to allow this file to be processed into XI ?
Thanks in advance
Colin

hi colin,
TIFF is type of image file, it can be converted to binary using java mapping
refer this pdf

Need help with a simple process with FTP Adapter and File Adapter

I am trying out a simple BPEL process that gets a file in opaque mode from a FTP server using a FTP adapter and writes it to the local file system using a File Adapter. However, the file written is always empty (zero bytes). I then tried out the FTPDebatching sample using the same FTP server JNDI name and this work fine surprisingly. I also verified by looking at the FTP server logs that my process actually does hit the FTP server and seems to list the files based on the filtering condition - but it does not issue any GET or RETR commands to actually get the files. I am suspecting that the problem could be in the Receive, Assign or Invoke activities, but I am not able identify what it is.
I can provide additional info such as the contents of my bpel and wsdl files if needed.
Would appreciate if someone can help me with this at the earliest.
Thanks

Quality of service in Receiver file/ftp adapter (SAP PI 7.1)?

Hi,
    We are building an IDoc to File scenario in SAP PI 7.1, where a single incoming idoc will create three different output files. Also files must be created in target server in a specific order.
    Our first idea to ensure that files would be created following a specific order was that Message mapping (in Java) build target payload with all three files following expected sequence.
    In addition, receiver file/ftp adapter is setup with a dynamic variable to create each file with a different filename adding also timestamp.
    Testing the scenario, we see that three files are created in target server but when we sort them by creation date, it seems they don't follow always same sequence.
    Sometimes adapter creates File1, File2, File3; next time it created File2, File1, File3 and so on.
    Our problem is that files must be created always with a specific order and we cannot use BPM. Does anyone know if a receiver file/ftp adapter can be setup to create files following specific sequence (EOIO)?
    I know that sender file/ftp adapter can be setup with a quality of service, but I didn't find anything similar for Receiver file/ftp adapter.
    Suggestions will be welcome.
Kind Regards,
Aitor

Hi,
     First, thanks all of you for your quick answers. They were helpful because we learnt a new configuration setting.
     We tried your suggestions but they didn't really fix our problem.
     Finally interface has been re-designed and we will not have to apply this logic, so no issue from our side.
     However, let me continue with this topic in case that somebody else will have the same issue, then it will be able to review this thread.
     When adapter created the files in the target directory (windows server), files had the expected timestamp in each filename. However, if we sorted windows directory contents by "Date Creation", files were sorted different that timestamp shows in the filename.
     For example, adapter created following files:
File1_20090325-115117-169
File2_20090325-115117-174
File3_20090325-115117-180
     But when we sorted windows folder contents, files were sorted as follows:
File2_20090325-115117-174
File1_20090325-115117-169
File3_20090325-115117-180
     It seems that timestamp was pre-assigned by the adapter, but when adapter created the files, it did it with a temporary name and finally assigns the filename. If a file size was bigger than other, maybe it takes more time and windows creation date is higher.
     If so, it means that adapter is not following same instructions as itu2019s indicated in "maintain order at runtime" checkbox.
     Do you know if there is any way where we can push also the order in the adapter as we did in interface determination?
Regards,
Aitor

Error with Archiving Faulty Source File in Sender FTP adapter

Hi All,
I have configured a Sender FTP adapter with Processing Mode as Archive.
I am able to read the files from FTP server and archive all the successfuly processed file in the PI aplication server directory XXX/success.
We need all the error files also to be archived on PI application server in directory XXXXX/Fail so I have checked the option Archive faulty Source Files and provided the application directory XXXXX/Fail .
I have unchecked the option Archive Files on FTP server.
But the problem is when FTP adapter is getting any error files it is not able to archive it to application directory XXXXX/Fail .
In RWB it is showing the error
Unable to archive faulty input file /data/abc.txt to /XXXX/fail/abc.txt
Cause: com.sap.aii.adapter.file.ftp.FTPEx: 550 rename: No such file or directory
This directory is existing and works fine when I give this directory name in Archive directory of processing mode.
Sender FTP adapter is trying to archive the file in FTP server which I dont want and giving us this error.
If I give any Directory which is present in FTP server my error files are getting archived on FTP server but not in the archived folder.
I have already unchecked the option Archive Files on FTP server.
Please help......
