FTP-Adapter reads filled file as empty file

Hi, well i have a FTP-Poll to a folder where a filled file is existing. the adapter takes it and put it into archive folder after saying that the content is transformed into XML (shown in CC-Monitoring).
Well the archive file i found but in Monitor there is no message. So where is the XML file?! actually it should be send to an IDoc-Adapter after content is transfomed! What is the problem??
I have done some other Scenarios like this and they work. I compared all the parameters but nothing seems to be wrong.

OSB error while generating business service for FTP adapter Sync Get File

Hi All
I am trying to generate a business service from SOA Suite JCA FTP adapter Sync Get File, but i am getting this exception for no reasons (Rest operations list file, get file and put file are working)
Invalid JCA transport endpoint configuration, exception: java.lang.NullPointerException     Unknown ALSB Conflict.
Is this a bug in eclipse, can any body help me. Thanks
Sorry Forgot to mention eclipse version...
Eclipse Platform
Version: 3.6.2
Build id: M20110210-1200

Ok,
bcoz of this issue, i had to code the entire interface in OSB console. It runs fine in OSB console (i was able to test it successfully).
Is this a bug in eclipse or only i am facing this issue? Has anybody tried to create a business service from JCA FTP Get Synchronous jca file?
<adapter-config name="FTPReadMOMFileOnRMSDB" adapter="FTP Adapter"

               <property name="FileType" value="binary" />
          </interaction-spec>
     </endpoint-interaction>
</adapter-config>
One more doubt? The PhysicalArchiveDirectory path can be on the FTP server something like: /MOMFiles/archive. Or do i have to use the Put operation to move it to /MOMFiles/archive directory. Currently OSB console and eclipse do not accept FTP path for this parameter and want me to specify a local directory on server. Thanks

File Adapter : read XML file with data validation and file rejection ?

Hello,
In order to read a XML file with the file adapter, I have defined a XSD that I have imported to my project.
Now the File Adapter reads the file correctly but it does not give an error when:
- the data types are not valid. Ex: dateTime is expected in a node and a string is provided
- the XML file has invalid attributes.
How can I manage error handling for XML files ?
Should I write my own Java XPath function to validate the file after is processed ? (here is an example for doing this : http://www.experts-exchange.com/Web/Web_Languages/XML/Q_21058568.html)
Thanks.

one option is to specify validateXML on the partnerlink (that describes the file adapter endpoint) such as shown here
<partnerLinkBinding name="StarLoanService">
<property name="wsdlLocation"> http://<hostname>:9700/orabpel/default/StarLoan/StarLoan?wsdl</property>
<property name="validateXML">true</property>
</partnerLinkBinding>

Can Scheduler be used in ORACLE SOA to trigger FTP Adapter read operation

I need to create an ESB project where scheduler should trigger the File/FTP Adapter read operation.
Where can I provide the time settings viz. (xx HR: yy MM: zz SS everyday)?
Is it possible in Oracle SOA?
Please provide any tutorial where scheduler has been used to invoke the File/FTP Adapter rather than invoking it real time (gets triggered the moment files are placed).
Thanks

You should the quartz timer within the SOA Suite to obtain this functionality.

As you suggested, you can write a custom adapter where you can do duplicate check, file move to duplicate directory and email notification.
But this is trying to cover many business processes under adapter functionality whose intend purpose is just to
work with a transport, speak the transmission protocol and
transfer the file.
Custom adapter:
But still you can do these functionalities in custom adapter.
For article, white papers and webcast for developing custom adapter refer this MSDN page:
Developing Adapters using the BizTalk Adapter Framework
You can still use BizTalk adapter wizard which gives you the template files including registry key required for registering the custom adapter. This may need Visual Studio
2005 to get the template project created. The export Visual Studio 2005 to your latest version to get the template for your latest version. And write your FTP library code in the placeholders.
Or refer the SDK for sample custom adapter and replace those custom functionalities to yours to make and update SDK samples work for you.
http://biztalkadapterwizard.codeplex.com/releases/view/3892
No to custom pipeline:
Your functionalities are not meant for custom pipeline processing. Pipelines are meant for preparing the received message for further processing or preparing the message/file to be sent out. Custom pipeline is not the correct place to write
your functionalities.
Try to isolate the functionalities and handle it different modules and don’t pack everything in custom adapter. For example, you can just use custom adapter
to FTP the file, if it’s a duplicate file transfer the file to different folder location. You can (or ask the team who own the FTP server) to send an email if the duplicate folder receives a file. This would improve the performance of the adapter.
If this answers your question please mark it accordingly. If this post is helpful, please vote as helpful by clicking the upward arrow mark next to my reply.

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..

Moorthy

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.

10.1.3.4 - FTP adapter error while file get

I created an esb service that reads from a remote server and processes the file locally. It works fine in dev. When I migrated my esb flow to a test environment it is now throwing some error.
<AdapterFramework::Inbound> Adapter Framework instance: OraESB - successfully completed endpointActivation for portType=Get_ptt, operation=Get
<FTP Adapter::Inbound> Connection Created
<FTP Adapter::Inbound> Unable to list files from '/apps/EDI/Archive/OutBound/Customer' directory on 'corpapp10' server; FTP command[NLST] returned unexpected reply code : 550
<FTP Adapter::Inbound> Poller raising Alert for exception : ORABPEL-11430
Error in listing files in the remote directory.
Unable to list file in remote directory.
Check the error stack and fix the cause of the error. Contact oracle support if error is not fixable.
The dev remote server and the test remote server are different. I have done the obvious checks about server name, permissions, directory names etc. I can login to the server using windows ftp however when I go the inbound directory and type in ls, i get the following error - 550 Arguments too long. I have some 37000 files in the directory. ls -l works fine.
I switched the ftp adapter to poll a different directory which only has 1 file, but it still gives the same error. However in this case, the windows ftp is able to list the files using ls command.
any idea how i can make this work ?

i undeployed the esb project and deploying it again. Now even worse, nothing happens now. It has stopped polling at all. I just see the following message in the opmn.log, but none of the files get picked up.
<FTP Adapter::Inbound> Connection Created
<FTP Adapter::Inbound> Connection Created
<FTP Adapter::Inbound> Connection Created
To be sure, I deployed it to another environment (DEV) and it works ok there.

FTP Adapter get complete files question

I'm using the FTP Adapter to poll for incoming files. I'm concerned that it may be possible for the FTP adapter to find a file whilst it's still being written, and therefore load an incomplete file. Does anyone know if the FTP adapter has any built in mechanism to prevent this happening, or do I need to explicitly work around this situation?

Problem solved - I've just found the 'Minimum File Age' parameter on the FTP Adapter wizard.

FTP adapter should send file as binary attachment

Hello,
we user XI 3.0 and want to implement the following scenario:
- FTP adapter has to read binary files (*.tif and *.xls)
- Receiver adapter is an ABAP proxy
We want to get the file content as attachment to the message or as binary string in the payload. Is it possible? I Think the FTP adapter can only handle the file content over as complete message payload and not as an attachment. File content conversion is not possible because we read non textual files. Do any adpater modules exist that could swap the payload to attachment? In my point of view the PayloadSwapBean can only handle the other way.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in Advance,
Daniel

Hello,
with the file adapter in NFS mode it is easy to attach one file as payload and further files as attachment.
But as I stated above we use the FTP mode (and we have no NFS server!). The binary file is read by the adapter and assigned to the message as main payload. The proxy inbound handling is not able to parse the payload because it will see it as application/xml.
I'm looking for one of the following solutions:
1) swap the content of the main payload to an attachment. This can be processed at the proxy
2) perhaps it is possible to change the mime type of the main payload to reflect the xls or tif content with the MessageTransformBean. But what has to be done at the proxy inbound side?
Best regards,
Daniel

FTP Adapter batching multiple files in one send

Hello,
I'd like to set up a process in XI to allow me to group all files into one batch message and send the group all in one send every thirty minutes. This is an FTP adapter.
Do I need to work through a BPM to do this? Is there a good blog or forum topic on this?
Thanks,
Matt

That is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks.
I will test with the BPM and if the performance becomes and issue I will try your suggestions.
Thanks,

FTP adapter should take file path and name at runtime..

Hello All,
I have requirement of getting the file from remote machine into local machine..thinking FTP adapter should help me to do this..
I dont need to poll the remote directory. rather I will pass the exact path and name of the file to be fetched during runtime as an input to the bpel process.
How to configure the FTP Adapter to receive the file path runtiime and gets it to local machine.
Is it doable using ftp adapter..?
Thanks
Saikrishna

Hello Anne,
Thank you for the help.
I am not able to call a adapter partner link using invoke activity..I am facing variable type conflicts.
modified the
OutboundFtpHeaderType wsdl to take file name and directory as:
<complexType>
<sequence>
<element name="*fileName*" type="string"/>
<element name="*directory*" type="string"/>
</sequence>
</complexType>
Using Adapters tab of Invoke activity created a variable:
<variable name="outputVariable"
messageType="client:FTPadapterResponseMessage"/>
<variable name="*filePath*" messageType="ns2:OutboundHeader_msg"/>
Using Assign Activity, assigned the input varibales to the ftp outboundHeader variable:
<assign name="Assign_1">
<copy>
<from variable="inputVariable" part="payload"
query="/client:FTPadapterProcessRequest/client:*directory*"/>
<to variable="*filePath*" part="outboundHeader"
query="/ns2:OutboundFTPHeaderType/ns2:directory"/>
</copy>
<copy>
<from variable="inputVariable" part="payload"
query="/client:FTPadapterProcessRequest/client:*filename*"/>
<to variable="*filePath*" part="outboundHeader"
query="/ns2:OutboundFTPHeaderType/ns2:fileName"/>
</copy>
</assign>
Used the created variable in the invoke activity as a input paramater to the partner link:
<invoke name="Invoke_1" partnerLink="ftpAdapterTest"
portType="ns1:SynchRead_ptt" operation="SynchRead"
inputVariable="*filePath*" bpelx:inputHeaderVariable="filePath"/>
<reply name="replyOutput" partnerLink="client" portType="client:FTPadapter"
operation="process" variable="outputVariable"/>
I am getting an error in invoke activity:
Variable type does not match the input type.
Thanks

File Adapter - Reading 2 files from sender and one file to receiver

All - I am looking for a best solution for reading two files from sender and generating one file to the receiver.
Here is the scenario
Sender file s - A is a master file. B is a detail file; B will have a one to many records for each record of File A.. that is the relation ship between 2 files.. I am looking for a better solution to
Example
Input:
File A will have a record like "summary1 ABC 1234"
File B will have a record like "Detailfor Summary1 CDF 8679"
Output:
File C shall have a record "consolidatedofSummary&Detail ABC 1234 8679"
1) read records of master row and detail row from these 2 files
2) do the mapping to the receiver output format which it is creating for records with some harcoded values and based on the values from master and detail rows of sender file
if I can accomblish reading sender files and do the mapping to the receiver , assume that mapping to the receiver format would not be cumbersome.
please help me...
Thanks

Hi Gopal,
Ur approach to the interface is perfect.... Go ahead.
For selecting multiple files in source use Advanced Selection for files.. and specify the directory paths and also the file name shema...
This will fetch the 2 files into the integration engine... then u map the 2 source files to one target file(2:1 mapping).
Specify accordingly the receiver side FCC and test it end to end...
If u face any prblm post here... some1 will help u out..

FTP Adapter Read without Polling

Hi,
Can we use FTP Adapter to read the files without polling. My requirement is to read the file from a location only once at a specific time. So I don't want my starting BPEL process to be a Adapter which polls rather I want to internally invoke the Read process without specifying a specfic file name.
The file name is not fixed and so I think Sync Read will not work.
Can we achieve this?
Thanks
Sanjay
