Move file with ftp adapter

Hello everyone,
Should I move some files when they appear in a specific directory.
In particular, I have a SQL query that extracts the absolute file path list.
Then I move these files to another server.
How you can configure the process to periodically check the files?
Thanks in advance
Regards

Hi,
Follow the link posted by userN, just be aware that the sample code is not quite correct on the documentation.
This question was widely discussed in this thread

  • File Matching with FTP Adapter

    Guys,
    I have particular requirement where FTP Adapter needs to read set of files
    FILENAME.PCL
    FILENAME.I01
    the file name would be matching but extensions are different.
    the adapter needs to read the file match if they are SET of files ( based on file name) and move into target directory if not move into Error Directory .The Data needs some manipulation before it's written into target location so we are using ESB ( also for error notification) is it possible with FTP Adapter within ESB?
    Thanks

    May be difficult with ESB, may require BPEL. Can you give a specific example as that would make it easier to see what you mean.

  • FILE and FTP Adapter file size limit

    Hi,
    Oracle SOA Suite ESB related:
    I see that there is a file size limit of 7MB for transferring using File and FTP adapter and that debatching can be used to overcome this issue. Also see that debatching can be done only for strucutred files.
    1) What can be done to transfer unstructured files larger than 7MB from one server to the other using FTP adapter?
    2) For structured files, could someone help me in debatching a file with the following structure.
    000|SEC-US-MF|1234|POPOC|679
    100|PO_226312|1234|7130667
    200|PO_226312|1234|Line_id_1
    300|Line_id_1|1234|Location_ID_1
    400|Location_ID_1|1234|Dist_ID_1

    I would need a the complete data in a single file at the destination for each file in the source. If there are as many number of files as the number of batches at the destination, I would need the file output file structure be as follows:
    000|SEC-US-MF|1234|POPOC|679
    100|PO_226312|1234|7130667

    Ok Here are the steps
    1. Create an inbound file adapter as you normally would. The schema is opaque, set the polling as required.
    2. Create an outbound file adapter as you normally would, it doesn't really matter what xsd you use as you will modify the wsdl manually.
    3. Create a xsd that will read your file. This would typically be the xsd you would use for the inbound adapter. I call this address-csv.xsd.
    4. Create a xsd that is the desired output. This would typically be the xsd you would use for the outbound adapter. I have called this address-fixed-length.xsd. So I want to map csv to fixed length format.
    5. Create the xslt that will map between the 2 xsd. Do this in JDev, select the BPEL project, right-click -> New -> General -> XSL Map
    6. Edit the outbound file partner link wsdl, the the jca operations as the doc specifies, this is my example.
    <jca:binding  />
            <operation name="MoveWithXlate">
          <jca:operation
              InteractionSpec="oracle.tip.adapter.file.outbound.FileIoInteractionSpec"
              SourcePhysicalDirectory="foo1"
              SourceFileName="bar1"
              TargetPhysicalDirectory="C:\JDevOOW\jdev\FileIoOperationApps\MoveHugeFileWithXlate\out"
              TargetFileName="purchase_fixed.txt"
              SourceSchema="address-csv.xsd" 
              SourceSchemaRoot ="Root-Element"
              SourceType="native"
              TargetSchema="address-fixedLength.xsd" 
              TargetSchemaRoot ="Root-Element"
              TargetType="native"
              Xsl="addr1Toaddr2.xsl"
              Type="MOVE">
          </jca:operation> 7. Edit the outbound header to look as follows
        <types>
            <schema attributeFormDefault="qualified" elementFormDefault="qualified"
                    targetNamespace="http://xmlns.oracle.com/pcbpel/adapter/file/"
                    xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
                    xmlns:FILEAPP="http://xmlns.oracle.com/pcbpel/adapter/file/">
                <element name="OutboundFileHeaderType">
                    <complexType>
                        <sequence>
                            <element name="fileName" type="string"/>
                            <element name="sourceDirectory" type="string"/>
                            <element name="sourceFileName" type="string"/>
                            <element name="targetDirectory" type="string"/>
                            <element name="targetFileName" type="string"/>                       
                        </sequence>
                    </complexType>
                </element> 
            </schema>
        </types>   8. the last trick is to have an assign between the inbound header to the outbound header partner link that copies the headers. You only need to copy the sourceDirectory and SourceGileName
        <assign name="Assign_Headers">
          <copy>
            <from variable="inboundHeader" part="inboundHeader"
                  query="/ns2:InboundFileHeaderType/ns2:fileName"/>
            <to variable="outboundHeader" part="outboundHeader"
                query="/ns2:OutboundFileHeaderType/ns2:sourceFileName"/>
          </copy>
          <copy>
            <from variable="inboundHeader" part="inboundHeader"
                  query="/ns2:InboundFileHeaderType/ns2:directory"/>
            <to variable="outboundHeader" part="outboundHeader"
                query="/ns2:OutboundFileHeaderType/ns2:sourceDirectory"/>
          </copy>
        </assign>you should be good to go. If you just want pass through then you don't need the native format set to opaque, with no XSLT
    cheers

  • Move operations of FTP adapter

    Hi,
    I have used a FTP adapter with move operation to move file from one directory to another directory of different server. As per the Oracle document , I have specified the source directory , destination directory, source file name and destination file name in the BPEL source code. And it is working fine. But I have a requirement to be having the options to change these source directory , destination directory, source file name and destination file name from the EM console. But in this case it is not working. It is quite obvious , it will not be available from EM as it is driven by the BPEL code. So can anyone please suggest me whether we can use these move operation of FTP adapter driven by the adapter JNDI?

    Hi,
    You can add preferences to your composite, they can be changed on EM and your BPEL will retrieve the values.
    Have a look into this entry on Eric's blog...

  • Problem with FTP Adapter in creating a new Folder

    Hi all,
    I have a requirement in which a BPEL process shud create a folder named as sysdate dynamically and write a

    passing the file directory as concat('PO/',xp20:current-date(),'/') to outbound header directory variable.Problem is FTP
    adapter is not creating the sysdate folder its says:1.check u have privileges 2.file name is too long....Blah....Blah.
    But i have all the privileges for that user.If i manually create the sysdate folder the FTP adapter is placing the CSV
    file.The same works fine with file adapter...but i need to use FTP since the FTP server can change in future.Seems to

    Hi,

    As per client's requirement, we shouldn't be using java service for this functionality.

  • BPEL process with FTP Adapter

    Hi,
    can we write static and dynamic data to file using FTP Adapter.
    for example:
    the file should be:
    the ABC file
    the total no of records:?
    Records:
    abc gskd dlfgpe
    asd fkgd sdfsd

    Hi,
    When you configure the FTP Adapter, you will be giving the location and also the name....
    But at run time, you can still replace them with the values you want....
    Go to the properties of invoke activity of FTP Adapter in BPEL....
    Find the properties, jca.ftp.FileName and jca.ftp.Directory; you can assign these properties from variables or expressions; it's all how want to do..you can design your flow in BPEL...
    And coming to the data contents; as yatan told, use the concat function in expression builder of copy operation in Assign activity and assign the same to the attribute of the FTP Adapter invoke input variable....
    Hope this helps...
    Thanks,

    I've been  working on the music for a film with a colleague of mine and are sharing logic files via dropbox. 72 cues had to be altered for logisitical reason to work in someone else's studio for the final mix. Since I had a copy of the movie on my machine and my colleague had a copy on his we thought that if we put our movie into the root directory of our logic project's folder then the movie would automatically load up with the projects after we shared them via dropbox. We checked to make sure that both movies had the same filename. Unfortunately this did not work and we had to then reassociate 72 cues individually with each logic project. With such limited time to prepare the cues for the final mix this really took too much time.
    Is there any way in logic (9.1.8) to associate 1 movie file with a number of logic projects quickly, without having to open up the project and select open movie?
    kind regards

    Seems to me that if you both had the movie file in the same location on both of your drives (eg on Macintosh HD at root level, in no other folder) then all the project files would search for this common path and find the file.
    The problem arises when there is even a small difference between path names.
    Unfortunately, this won't help you at this point as all the project files already are associated with unique file paths for the movie. By now, you've probably already done it one by one - but maybe for next time....?
    There's no bulk or quick way to do this.

  • Try to open mov file with quicktime, says can't open pdf files.

    Hi to everyone,
    Suddenly I try to open a mov, any mov file, with quicktime 10.4 and some times opens the finder and nothing more, some times says that it cannot open one pdf document ( a document I actually have but never try to open with QT). some times QT says it canot open some png or jpg file.
    But I double click mov files. And the incoherence is permanent, I mean that for the same movie file says it can't open the same pdf file, and in other file the same png, or the same jpg.. it depends on the mov file I try to open.  Like if somewhere, somme kind of cache, adresse or reference is wrong.
    this is the text of one of those messages when I double click a mov file:
    "The document “phoenixRoomfillerB_v001_0104.jpg” could not be opened. QuickTime Player cannot open files in the “JPEG image” format."
    And if I try again and again, at some point QT open only the finder window.
    The weird thing is that on the finder window i can see the preview and play the preview. and the same mov files play well with VLC. And if I copy the mov file to my desktop it plays well unless QT start to open only the finder window, if that happens it does not work anymore with any file.
    The files are on an external drive with 3 partitions.
    And I make all the possible cleaning that I can:
    I am the administrator of the imac and I am the only one to use it.
    I am the owner of the volume
    I use disk utility to check and everything is ok
    I use onyx to clean as much as possible, cache, boot, volume structure, smart status, home folder permissions, kernel, extensions, QT components, etc. and everything works fine.
    Imac 27 inch late 2012.

    thanx.

    Try QT v7.x which is located inside your Utility folder.

  • Get 'Generic Error' when attempting to import .mov files with transparency?

    I get the 'Generic Error' when attempting to import .mov files with transparency? I'm trying to use mattes with an alpha channel but I cannot import them. I have had this same issue since cs6, now I have it with cc 2014? Any clues would be most appreciated.
    I have uninstalled the DVCPro Codec, but it didn't help.
    I have tried converting the .mov file (which is now automatic in Yosemite) and this creates a ProRes4444 Codec, Again no luck with import.
    I've seen this issue on the web, but never a solution? Anyone?

    Hi Terence,
    I tried iPhoto Library Manager but it could not solve my problem. Opening the iPhoto library I can see that the reference to the pictures are pointing to my old location not to the new one. I considered running a script that would change all pointers since this is basically what is needed (in my case from /Volumes/RAID1/Fotos/XXX to /Volumes/Fotos/XXX). Instead I inserted a soft unix link to make to connection but that did not work. It is referring to the airport disk by the airport name rather than the mounted disk name. Very strange indeed. The problem is maybe not in iPhoto but in OSX? Anyway, maybe the only way out is to take some hours and manually run through all linked photos... cumbersome and annoying!
    Regards,

  • Mov files with Alpha channel

    I do alot of video with transparent (Alpha Channel) backgrounds.  I have always converted my avi files to flv files for the web without any issue.  Now I am being asked to put my video onto iPads, iPhones etc.  They won't accept flv files & I read that I can use QuickTime mov files to create an alpha channel.  I have tried several ways to install a mov file (with Alpha) using dreamweaver onto an existing webpage but it always ads a black background with the video.  I have tried the  wmode - transparent option but doesn't do anything.  I know the mov file I am using does have the alpha channel attached because I can bring it back into my rendering program and see it fine. 
    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    What is up!
    Based on my tests, it appears that the Mavericks embedded QT structure no longer considers many of the legacy compression formats to be supported under Mavericks. These formats were, by default, turned off under Lion and Mountain Lion which may indicate that Apple intends to drop even passive native support sometime in the future. Files containing Animation or PNG compressed data are no longer QL compatible and now force automatic QT X v10.3 conversion as mentioned above. Even worse, it appears other commonly used fomats like DV/DV in DV and AIC/PCM in MOV are also being relegated to this group. Luckily, DV/PCM in MOV, HDV/PCM in MOV, and ProRes422/PCM in MOV, along with all of my H.264/AAC/AC3/Chapter M4V distribution/iTunes managed files remain fully compatible with both QL and QT X v10.3 under Maverisks. This last is significant for me since many files containing AC3 as the primary audio stream are no longer QL/QT X v10.3 compatible with certain file extensions and/or container types which now appear to be checked in specific situations. Unfortunatly, what we've seen and learned thus far seems to be just the "tip of the iceberge."

  • Converting mov files with Quicktime Player for iDevices

    I wasn't sure if should post this under iPad or here or at all as it is about coding, but it is about coding for Apple iDevices that can't display Flash, using Quicktime Player or QT Player 7 Pro:
    I'm trying to add the ability for Apple iDevices that can't display tutorials I created in Flash, to see them with H.264. I read that I can simply open the original tutorial that luckily is a .mov file with Quicktime Player 10 in Snow Leopard and File > Save For Web and QT will convert to H.264 and also output several files needed to upload to your server.
    But the only options are for iPhone, iPhone (cellular) and Computer. I assume an iPod would use the iPhone file, but iPad didn't exist yet.
    I chose iPhone and Computer for my test. I got 2 .m4v files a .jpg, a small .mov and a .html page with the code I needed to copy/paste to my target html page.
    Uploaded the files and could see the tutorial movie with my iPad fine. Using FireFox, I saw the beginning of the movie, then got the beachball. After a long wait, I tried a force quit and found that my Mac Pro was crashed too so had to hard shut down. Hate that.
    Rebooted the computer. Tried accessing with Safari this time and it worked fine.
    I also own Quicktime Player 7 Pro pre Snow Leopard (I'm running Snow Leopard now) and tried the conversion with it and noticed a few more config choices, like for frame rate. But the resulting code was about 29 lines of code with expected parameters versus 2 lines of code in the QT Player code which actually really surprised me. With both apps they have JavaScript references for the head tab to files on Apple's library on their site.
    So.. I'm wondering why FF and my computer crash, I did output for computer as well as iPhone. And what to do for FF users and the fact that there's no specific output for iPad, am I OK just using the iPhone output since I can see the file OK on my iPad test.
    Last, I've been reading about HTML5 versus Flash, but assume that what both my QT apps are outputting is HTML4. In the QT Player code there isn't even an embed tag, let alone the video tag I've read about, just a href to the exported Saved For Web .mov file, which I assume must point to the .m4v files that QT outputs and puts in the same folder as the other files, but there's no direct reference to them.
    Sorry for the length, or if this isn't the place for these questions, but I do want to get this right before I convert about 20 tutorials
    I wonder if I should wait until Lion and see if QT is changed to fix the FF crash and adds output for iPad?
    One last thing: when you access the converted file with an iPad, first you see a jpg of the first frame with "Click to Play" in the center. When you do, you get the movie with a play triangle which you have to press to actually start the movie. But when you access the same html file with Safari, all you have to do is click the "Click to Play" and the movie starts as expected. Bug?

    QuickTime X and QuickTime Player Pro create slightly different html code (but it all works about the same way). The "click to play" image file, a "reference" movie, multiple versions for different devices and the html code to preview the page and use as copy/paste into your Web page.
    QuickTime X has fewer options than QuickTime Player Pro. The iPhone preset works just fine on the iPad.
    Your Firefox crash may have been just coincidence and I doubt it was caused by the page code.
    You may want to wait a while longer for the HTML 5 code because browser support is still in the learning stage and millions of PC users still use out of date browsers.
    The reference movie points to the different versions of the file. The code "reads" the device and serves up the correct version for it.
    I don't own an iPad but I suspect it works like my iPod Touch. All of my QuickTime files have the play "triangle" so the click to play image style page requires two clicks on it.

  • Can't view .mov file with quicktime

    Hello. I need help viewing a .mov file with Quicktime 7.5. It was recorded on a Canon Vixia HV30 camcorder and given to me on a dvd. But when I try to view the .mov file with Quicktime, I can hear the audio but the screen is black. Sometimes, it asks me to continue to the following link:
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/resources/components.html?os=Windows&ctype=696d64 63&csubtype=69636f64
    I'm not that computer savvy - what is wrong? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

    Sorry. My "then" (above) should have been "they".
    They sent you a data DV containing the "source" from the camera and the HDV codec isn't available on your PC so you can't view the file.
    Ask the authors to convert the file using H.264 Video codec (or others) so your Windows version of QuickTime can play the file.
