Problem archiving file using FTP adapter

Hi,
I am polling some files from another server using FTP adapter in SOA 11g. Even though I have checked the option to archive the files, the files get archived successfully on the server where the SOA process is running, but I am unable to archive the files on the server from which I am reading the file
I am not sure whether this is the default behaviour or is there any way to archive files on the same server from which I pick or read the file.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Namrata

Hi Neeraj,
Thanks, the archiving in the remoteLocation worked by doing what you told me...
I tried archiving to the local machine which is not working for me ... i gave both the properties as below...
<property name="UseRemoteArchive" value="false"/>
<property name="PhysicalArchiveDirectory" value="C:\Users\naresh\Desktop\ftp"/>
Thanks,
Naresh

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...

RENAME/COPY/DELETE a file using FTP Adapter in 11g using dynamic values

Hi All
We have a requirement to do the above for a client. I was able to find a post\blog that tells you to add the below properties in FTP adapter JCA file and it works but,
<interaction-spec className="oracle.tip.adapter.ftp.outbound.FTPIoInteractionSpec">
<property name="SourcePhysicalDirectory" value="foo1"/>
<property name="SourceFileName" value="bar1"/>
<property name="TargetIsRemote" value="false"/>
<property name="TargetPhysicalDirectory" value="foo2"/>
<property name="TargetFileName" value="bar2"/>
<property name="Type" value="COPY"/>
</interaction-spec>
The problem is that how to assign these values dynamically (from xpath or bpel variables etc). Can somebody provide me with some pointers? Its very urgent!

Use the below approach to set the directory and file names dynamically.
In BPEL source mode, specify the bpelx:inputProperty. Set the values for these variables in bpel. These can also be accessed as bpel preference values.
<invoke>
<bpelx:inputProperty name="jca.ftp.SourceFileName" variable="SourceFileNameVar"/>
<bpelx:inputProperty name="jca.ftp.TargetFileName" variable="TargetFileNameVar"/>
</invoke>

Strange issue creating a BCP xml format file with double dagger '‡' (alt + 0135) as column terminator with bcp.exe

Hi,
I'm having issues generating a BCP XML format file using a fairly unusual column terminator, a double dagger symbol
‡ (alt + 0135) which I need to support.
I'm experiencing this problem with bcp.exe for SQL2008 R2 and SQL2012.
If I run the following command line:
bcp MyDB.TMP.Test_Extract format nul -c -x -f "C:\BCP\format_file_dagger_test.xml" -T -S localhost\SQL2012 -t‡
I end up with a XML format file like so:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<BCPFORMAT xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sqlserver/2004/bulkload/format" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<RECORD>
<FIELD ID="1" xsi:type="CharTerm" TERMINATOR="ç" MAX_LENGTH="255" COLLATION="SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS"/>
<FIELD ID="2" xsi:type="CharTerm" TERMINATOR="ç" MAX_LENGTH="50"
.. and so on.
You will notice that the TERMINATOR="ç" (Minuscule c-cedilla) is output instead of TERMINATOR="‡". The
ç character, is strangely enough is alt + 135 (and not alt + 0135) so this might more than a coincidence! I know you can specify the codepage but this switch applies the data being imported or extracted and not for the format file
itself (I tried it anyway).
In order to use the XML file to bulk import I manually did a text substitution of 'ç' character for '‡' and then BCP imports '‡' data fine.
This character swap doesn't occur if I generate a non XML format file (the '‡' character is output in the format file correctly) however, this file produces other import errors, which I don't encounter if I use a standard delimiter like a comma. So I have stuck
with the working XML format file which I prefer.
Does anyone know why this is happening? I'm planning to automate the generation the of the XML format file and would like to avoid the additional step of text substitution if possible.
Thank you.

Hi Ham09,
According to your description , we do a test and find that the character of the terminator is changed due to the code page of Operation System. When you choose the different time zone in Data and Time bar, and do the same bcp test, you will find it will
export the different TERMINATOR in your XML format file. For example, you can import the character "ç" (alt + 135) in (UTC-12:00)International Date Line West time zone and (UTC+09:00)Osaka, Sapporo, Tokyo time zone, and check if the terminators are different.
By default, the field terminator is the tab character (represented as \t). To represent a paragraph mark, use \r\n.
For more information, there is detail about code page(Windows), you can review the following article.

Processing files in Sequence using FTP Adapter

Hi Experts,
I have searched several forums but i am not clear on how to process the files using FTP Adapter based on Timestamp.
To process the files in sequence i.e, FIFO using FTP Adapter
i have the files with file name customer and timestamp : customer<yyyyMMddHHmmss>
there are around 50 files in the FTP server llike this.
I need to process these files acording to the timestamp and place the files in same processing sequence in the receiver end using the file adapter.
If i specify the parametes in sender FTP Adapter as
Qos= EOIO
Queue name = ACCOUNT
Whether these parameters would do the processing in sequence according to the Timestamp?
Suppose if the queue ID for Inbound(SMQ2) is XBTI0_ACCOUNT then whether it will be the same for Outbound(SMQ1)?
Kindly suggest me how to process the files in sequence according to the Timestamp using FTP Adapter
Please reply..
Thanks
Sai

Hi Shabarish,
But this would require one more additional channel to process
So i think it will take more time to process.
Let me clarify my question once again.
I need to Pick the files from FTP server based on their TimeStamp and in sequence.
the file names are like this Customer<YYYYMMDDHHmmSS>.
suppose i have 3 files as
Customer20050413044534
Customer20050414053430
Customer20050315034533
So i need to pick these files in this order and place the files in the same order to the receiver end(File Adapter)
Customer20050315034533
Customer20050413044534
Customer20050414053430.
As i am using FTP sender adapter i cannot use processing sequence "By Date".
please suggest me on this.
Thanks
Sai.

Creating xml format file with double dagger ‡ as delimiter

Hi,
My source files are delimited with double dagger (‡) and I am using openrowset to load the files to SQL Server. When I am creating the format file by specifying the delimiter as ‡, the format file created has a different delimiter than the specified one.
The new delimiter appearing in xml format file is ç.
Any help?
TIA

Create XML format file in bulk insert with a data file with out delimiter

Hello
I have a date file with no delimiter like bellow
0080970393102312072981103378000004329392643958
0080970393102312072981103378000004329392643958
I just know 5 first number in a line is for example "ID of bank"
or 6th and 7th number in a line is for example "ID of employee"
Could you help me how can I create a XML format file?
thanks alot

This is a fixed file format. We need to know the length of each field before creating the format file. Say you have said the first 5 characters are Bank ID and 6th to 7th as Employee ID ... then the XML should look like,
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<BCPFORMAT xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sqlserver/2004/bulkload/format"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<RECORD>
<FIELD ID="1"xsi:type="CharFixed"LENGTH="5"/>
<FIELD ID="2"xsi:type="CharFixed"LENGTH="2"/>
<FIELD ID="3" xsi:type="CharFixed" LENGTH="8"/>
<FIELD ID="4" xsi:type="CharFixed" LENGTH="14"/>
<FIELD ID="5" xsi:type="CharFixed" LENGTH="14"/>
<FIELD ID="6" xsi:type="CharFixed" LENGTH="1"/>
</RECORD>
<ROW>
<COLUMNSOURCE="1"NAME="c1"xsi:type="SQLNCHAR"/>
<COLUMNSOURCE="2"NAME="c2"xsi:type="SQLNCHAR"/>
<COLUMN SOURCE="3" NAME="c3" xsi:type="SQLCHAR"/>
<COLUMN SOURCE="4" NAME="c4" xsi:type="SQLINT"
/>
<COLUMN SOURCE="5" NAME="c5" xsi:type="SQLINT"
/>
</ROW>
</BCPFORMAT>
Note: Similarly you need to specify the other length as well.

How to Create a Flat File using FTP/File Adapter

Can any body done workaround on creating the Flat file using FTP/File Adapter?.
I need to create a simple FlatFile either using of delimiter/Fixed length. using the above said adapters we can create XML file, i tried concatinating all the values into a single String and writing into a file, but it does not have proper structure
Can any body help me out on this..
Thanks

You can create a text schema while creating a File Adapter. If schema is specified for File Adapter, it takes care of converting XML into fixed length or delimited format.

Duplicate File issue using FTP adapter - BizTalk 2010

Hi We encountered an Issue of picking Duplicate files in BizTalk 2010 from the FTP Location. Need your assistance on this.
Mainframe sends multiple files a 0 KB file to FTP and BizTalk picks during a particular service window using FTP Adapter.
Receive Location has a pipeline component which decodes the MF file(EBCDICRow format).
Send Port transmits the file which is decoded in the Receive location. There is no mapping or orchestration involved.
When 2 files are placed in FTP Location. BizTalk Transmits the files successfully
No suspended messages in BizTalk but we see below error in event log. we tried reproduce the issue but no luck.
Host Instance running FTP Location is Clustered
There was a failure executing the receive pipeline: "XXXX.XX.Pipelines.Receive_XXX_TransactionsMC_passthru, XXX.XX.Pipelines, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=c2d1f476d5c2f97d"

Hi Sri,
There could be two reason for such a behavior:
1) Using Non-Clustered Hosts: It is always recommended to use the clustered host for FTP adapter. Because FTP don't allow
any locking mechanism on the files so in case of non-clustered with multiple host instances you might receive same file multiple times through different host instances.
2) If the original document is still being written to the FTP server by the host application, the FTP adapter cannot
delete the document and will retrieve another copy of the document at the next polling interval that is configured for the receive location. This behavior causes document duplication to occur.
Workaround could be:
Configure the host application to write to a temporary folder on the same hard disk as the public FTP folder and to periodically move the contents of the temporary folder
to the FTP folder. The temporary folder should be on the same hard disk as the public FTP folder to make sure that the move operation is atomic. An atomic operation is an operation that is functionally indivisible. If you write data to the public FTP folder
by using the BizTalk Server FTP adapter, you can do this by specifying a Temporary Folder property in the FTP Transport Properties dialog box when you configure a send port. If you specify a Temporary Folder property, make sure that this folder is on the same
physical disk as the public FTP folder.
Configure the FTP receive location to operate within a service window when the host application is not writing data to the FTP server. You can specify the service window
when you configure the receive location properties.
