How to handle empty file using sftp adapter

Hi,
Please explain me how to handle empty files in sftp adapter.
Thanks,
Enivass

Hi Enivaas,
I don't have the seeburger sftp adapter at hand at the moment, but asfar as I remember, this does not specifically have an empty-file handling option like the standard ftp adapter.
So to stop emtyp files from being written, guess would need to handle this at the mapping level. For example, check for target creation criteria in the header node in mapping. If the creation criteria is not met, you can throw an error in mapping.
You may also incorporate this condition in your Receiver determination. In this case, if the condition is not satisfied, no receiver is determined in PI.

Sending empty files using SFTP Adapter

I am trying to send empty files using SFTP adapter. The interface has to send the file whether its empty file or containing data using SFTP adapter. I am using BizTalk Server 2013 R2. Is it a bug or the hotfix is already there for this issue.

The issue here is not your SFTP not able to send 0KB files, but the file receive adapter that is receiving the file. The file adapter deletes 0 KB files and doest not transmit it further.
If u have a ftp receive for example you should be able to send 0KB files.
If u have a custom file receive adapter , is it handling 0KB files ?

for picking up file from sftp you need to use either
builtin sftp adapter in for BizTalk 2013 or open source sftp adapter for earlier versions
I hope this will help you

Dummy XML not getting generated from empty file by J2EE adapter module

Hi All,
i know when XI gets an empty input text file, it does not generate a send message for it in sender communication channel.
in my scenario, if i get a file with data, i have to generate an XML message for it using file content conversion - this i have done...........
but if i get an empty text file, then i have to generate a dummy XML send message for it for my BPM.......
So i made a J2EE adapter module to generate dummy xml for empty file.....when i give a file with data in it, then my adapter module is called..... but when i give an empty file, then my adapter module is not called.........
Can anybody suggest why the module processor is not invoking my customer-adapter module when an empty file is given.............but the module processor is invoking my customer-adapter module when a file with data is given.
Thanks,
Rajeev Gupta

Hi Amit,
Below is the code of process method which i used:
public ModuleData process(ModuleContext moduleContext,
ModuleData inputModuleData)
 throws ModuleException
Object obj;
Message msg_audit;
AuditMessageKey amk;
try
File f = new File("/components/XITEMP/sample/PWC/check.txt");
PrintStream ps;
if (f.canWrite())
FileOutputStream fos =new FileOutputStream(f);
ps = new PrintStream(fos);
ps.println("Testing");
ps.close();
fos.close();
else
f = new File("/components/XITEMP/sample/PWC/check4.txt");
if (f.exists() ==false)
f.createNewFile();
obj = inputModuleData.getPrincipalData();
if (obj!=null)
msg_audit = (Message)obj;
amk = new AuditMessageKey(msg_audit.getMessageId(),AuditDirection.OUTBOUND);
Audit.addAuditLogEntry(amk,AuditLogStatus.SUCCESS,"FileCheck: Module called");
else
String str = new String();
String str1 = new String();
 str1="<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"utf-8\" ?>";
 str1+="<ns:MT_PWC_RECORD xmlns:ns=\"urn://PWC_SR3_01/PWC/Customer\">";
 str1+="<RECORD_SET>";
 str1+="<RECORD>";
 str1+="<RECORD_DATA>BLANK_FILE</RECORD_DATA>";
 str1+="</RECORD>";
 str1+="</RECORD_SET>";
 str1+="</ns:MT_PWC_RECORD>";
str=str1;
inputModuleData.setPrincipalData(str);
catch(Exception e)
try
File f = new File("/components/XITEMP/sample/PWC/check.txt");
PrintStream ps;
if (f.canWrite())
FileOutputStream fos =new FileOutputStream(f);
ps = new PrintStream(fos);
ps.println(e.toString());
ps.close();
fos.close();
catch(Exception ex)
return inputModuleData;
 }
in the above methood, i used file operations at start just to see whether the module is getting invoked or not...so when i give a data file, then the file operations are performed and messages are written in audit log.........but when i give an empty file, then the file operations are not performed - meaning the module is not getting invoked........
Thanks,

How to Handle Empty Files

Hi Experts,
I am doing File to File Scenario.
If my Sender systems file is Empty , that means there is no Records in the File .
How to Handle Empty Files ??????????
I want to know For both Sender and As wel as Receiver Adapters
Please Let me know..
Regards
Khanna

See if u are having a sender file adapter and the file is empty u can tell the if it has to 'Process the empty file' or 'Skip the empty file processing'.
Similarly if you have a message to going to your Receiver file adapter and the message is empty then you can decide still if you want to create a 'File with empty records' or skip creating the same.

Need to transfer files using sftp via java api's.

Hi,
I got a requirement to transfer files using sftp via java api's.
Kindly specify any 3rd party Java Libraray to do this.
The requirements are
-It must support extensive encryption algorithms.
-It must allow generating public/private keys and authenticating with server by sending the keys first(before the actual file transmission).
Thanks.

Don't resurrect old threads, please. Start your own thread.
Better yet: google for "Java SFTP", look at what you find and come back when you have a specific question.
And: when you ask a specific question, then clarify if you're talking about the [SSH file transfer protocol|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SSH_file_transfer_protocol] or about FTPS, which is sometimes (wrongly) called SFTP.

Host Throttling on receiving files using SFTP

Hello,
We have this problem in BTS2006 and now we migrated to BTS2013 and we still have the problem.
Problem: We are using nSoftware SFTP adapter. Sometimes the host handler gets into idle state on some receive locations. It will not pickup the file until I restart the host instance. We have several RLs running on that particular host instance and they
all are getting bounced when we restart the host instance. This is happening only on SFTPs. There is no guarantee that the file is delivered successfully. Most of the times business calls us stating the file is not received. The host create 64/32 bit if that
matters. We have almost 200 interfaces running on each host instances not sure if that matters. I can create more hosts if needed but that would cost some system resources and thinking of not to do.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Since it might be inherited with the software/or volume you migrated from 2006 to 2013, it won't solve automatically just migrating BizTalk version.
Did you find out the throttling condition? I would suggest to have a look in to the link http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-au/library/aa559893.aspx which could be the starting point to look into for detecting the catch.
I have personally not used nSoftware SFTP adapter but I would suggest using separate host handler for suspected (victim) SFTP send ports and check the figures as per the conditions you identified. Since you already have 2013, it has very nice dashboard (right
click on the host and go to setting) for you to play with figure.
If you share your volume/size of message and what the core process is, probably you would get better suggestion.
Also worth looking into Host
Throttling Performance Counters.
Please mark it as Answer if this answers your question
Thanks.

Then write a logic for the node
if Source node (ifexits) then map the source node to Target node
else
Map constant (Space) to the target node , if no source node the it will create just target node.

Novice Question: XML File using FTP Adapter Help Requested

I need to create (publish) a message from an XML file that is written to a particular folder on a Win2000 machine (I intend running the adapter on the same machine). I think that the FTP adapter should be the easiest way to do this but I have only used this adapter to publish DL3-defined files, and only then on a unix platform.
Is the FTP adapter the correct approach or is there a better way, and if it is the correct approach, can anyone point me to a sample application or pass along a sample adapter.ini so I can figure out configuring the adapter.
Thanks
Eric

We use the FTP adapter for both reading and writing XML files. And it works quite OK (there are a few gliteches but nothing you cannot work around). You need to first make (find) a DTD for your XML file and import that as the AV for the message in IS (IStudio). Then you just point the adapter to the correct directory and it should work from there.
As for better way Im not sure I'm no InterConnect expert but I dont know any other way to do it.
Might be worth to notice (if you didn't already know) that you dont actually need FTP if it is on the local filesystems you can in the FTP adapter read from the local FS something along the lines of file:///c:/foo/bar as oposed to ftp://...
As for adapter.ini you shouldn't need anything besids pointing the reciver to the correct directory the rest is done from IS.
Let me know if you want more details...
