Need to get ESB FTP adapter going

I was set on a project over the weekend and so far im pretty sure i have completely failed :) I need to just specify routing rules for server to server connection. We are doing this through FTP, the routing rules will specify certain files to look for, and we have a default account to connect to each server with. Well so far i got two FTP connections in place a read and write one. I am not sure what else i need to implement in order to complete this. My task was to use ESB to do this proces. I have a couple questions however besides creating two FTP connects one read one write what else do i need in this? The routing rules will come after i get this all put together i would assume. Anyway do i need a file adapter in the ESB setup ? It never ask me to specify a username and password but i think that would be specified under integration connections where my connection to the specfic server is? How do i tell me FTP connections to connect to one of my integration connections? I have a development one and a production one, obviously im working on the DEV

No i think my wording was wrong i apologize, not that it will neccessarily use the connection username and password located under integration connection. But it will use this to connect to? Ok tell me if im wrong but it will use this connection under integration connection to connect to some kind of SOA "somewhere"?
And maybe not SOA im not sure if you need SOA but some kind of ESB server. Hence the option to register with ESB when right clicking the project?

Re: Simple Questions about ESB and ftp adapter.
Posted: Apr 8, 2008 4:20 PM in response to: user629857 Reply
I assume you are using ESB. Your ESB service will look as follows:
FTP inbound adapter -> Routing Service -> FTP outbound adapter
In your FTP inbound and outbound adapters, specify the logical directory name in the end point properties.
The bpel.xml file is only specific if you are using Oracle BPEL Process Manager.
<---------- this is the exact setup i have right now, does this sound correct?

  • 10.1.3.4 - ESB FTP adapter not processing the files in the input directory

    I created a process that reads from a logical inputDir. I migrated the ESB service to another box and created the same adapter connection etc. however nothing really happens in this new environment. In the opmn.log i see the following statements and no other info.
    2008-12-16 14:03:41,994> <INFO> <collaxa> <ServerManager::loadProcesses> Done loading processes for all domains

    The last message "Connection Created" keeps repeating, but no processing occurs. I tried increasing all the loggers to finest. but still nothing happens.
    any idea how to troubleshoot this ? the only difference in the environment is that the new environment has 10.1.3.4 MLR2 and the first one is just plain 10.1.3.4

    Make sure that you modified the oc4j-ra.xml file in the FtpAdapter directory and have put the correct hostname and username and password. The directory structure looks like this //some-directory/oc4j_soa/application-deployments/default/FtpAdapter/oc4j-ra.xml.

  • ESB FTP adapter tutorials

    I seen Oracle has many tutorials and this i like :) However im trying to setup a FTP adapter version of ESB and cant seem to find any tutorials on this specfically. If anyone could help me or maybe explain how i could edit a file adapter tutorial in which they have so that and FTP adapter could work that would be great

    Sorry I haven't tried it with ESB, but I do have a blog about "advanced use of FTP adapter" in BPEL: http://darwin-it.blogspot.com/2008/03/configuration-of-ftp-synchronous-get.html.
    I do think though that it should not be a very big problem to translate this to ESB, since it is actually the same adapter.

  • How to get outbound ftp adapter file name

    All,
    I am writing an ftp adapter sending out files. The file name is defined as po_%yyyyMMDD%.xml format. However, I need to save the filename into a database after each file is sent out. How could I get the filename after invoking this service? It is on soa 10.1.3.3.

  • ESB- FTP adapter unable to poll a file

    I have a FTP adapter it has to poll files, with diff naming convention.(like "asd", 'wer',"jkl","AVC"). But the adapter was unable to poll a file which name start with AVC
    reamining files are polled successfully.At ftp location ftp adapter will poll file and place all records into DB through ESB,for ESB we can set adapters as inbound.Plz give me any suggessions to solve this problem(10.1.3.4).Thq.

    I checked the error logs and it informed it was not able to create the stage directory where as i am only creating the stage directory and providing the path to it.so i could not really understand the exact error.
    Does a stage directory get created automatically anywhere else?

  • ESB FTP Adapter Not Archiving to FTP Server

    I have a FTP adapter in which I have pointed a logical archive directory to a directory on the FTP server. However, the file is not getting archived to that folder. If I point the logical directory to a shared folder on the server it archives the file. Can I not archive a file on the FTP server? I have checked permissions on the FTP folder and they are correct.
    Thanks.

    I found the solution to this issue. There is a property named UseRemoteArchive that needs to be set in the WSDL in the <jca:operation> element. See below for details.
    <jca:operation
    FileType="ascii"
    LogicalDirectory="incomingDirectory"
    ActivationSpec="oracle.tip.adapter.ftp.inbound.FTPActivationSpec"

  • ESB FTP Adapter Help

    Hi
    I am switch from TIBCO products to Oracle so I am kinda lost. Sorry if these questions are too newbie.
    1. Is it possible to configure multiple FTP adapters polling files from various FTP sites? I think it s a YES. Can you tell me how? I need to perform polling of files from 3 different FTP sites and interval of x mins then to trigger other processes
    2. If I were to create a manager sitting in front of these adapters to specify how these adapters works, how do I that? Meaning instead of specifying what is the host etc.. It can be done at front end application
    Thank you

    Hi,
    1) with respect to how, check out the SOA Suite Adapters guide that is available here: http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B31017_01/integrate.1013/b28994.pdf (assuming you use version 10.1.3.1).
    Basically:
    - Define the FTP Adapter services using a wizard
    - Specify connection data for your FTP services in a config file

    This doesn't appear to have anything to do with Apple Remote Desktop, Apple's application for managing networked Macs, so this probably isn't the most appropriate forum for this question. I'd suggest you ask in the Mac OS X 10.4 Networking forum; you'll be more likely to get a quick and accurate answer there.

  • Using FTP adapter

    Hi,
    My requirement is I have to read the files from different ftp locations and put them in database.
    When ever there is a new record in the database I have to Extract the record and store in the XML. then I Have to move this file to multiple FTP locations.
    I know how to do it, if I have to read from a single location and sending to a single location.
    Can this be done using ESB FTP Adapter??
    If Yes, Please give the steps to do that
    thanks
    V Kumar

    Is it possible to invoke from a single point and can this service provide the logic to identify the location of the FTP. If so then you can do a synchronous read using the FTP adapter.
    When you say FTP locations, do you mean servers, or different locations on the one FTP server. If it is just different directories you can use the FTP headers, have a look at this link. http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/integration/esb/files/esb-presentation-headers.pdf
    If the locations are on different servers I don't think this is achieveable as you would need to chnage the JNDI name dynamically, I'm not shure how to do this. You can just add a new route when a new location comes online, this will not change any of your existing code.
    The other option which is not SOA Suite pre sa is to create SAMBA connections to your FTP servers. These will be respresented on the SOA file system as directories. You can then use the file adapter and header to perform this logic.

    1. The FTP Server needs to be active for the Adapter to work. So, both FTP Server and the FTP adapter must be active for it to work.
    Also you only support PASSIVE mode in our FTP JCA adapter. ACTIVE mode is currently
    considered bad practice and a security vulnerability.
    But, we would require both ACTIVE and PASSIVE modes.

  • 10.1.3.4 - FTP adapter polling multiple servers

    Is it possible to get files from multiple servers for a given BPEL or ESB service ? My source application writes to its local file systems in the exact same location, but 2 different servers. Is there anyway we can instruct the FTP adapter to poll both the servers ? or do we have to duplicate the call to poll the 2nd server ?

    Don't think so. We have solved it by having one esb ftp-adapter to each server and route them together in the same routing service.

  • FTP Adapter Configuration For End Of File

    Hi Team,
    i'm doing DB polling and writing that contents to on file using FTP Adapter, DB poller will poll each line @ a time and writes to remote Server
    in my FTP adapter usage, after writing the whole contents which i pass from my bpel,
    i need to use some hardcoded values at the end of the file
    Eg.
    test1|test2|test3|test4
    test1|test2|test3|test4
    test1|test2|test3|test4
    test1|test2|test3|test4
    @@Thanks@@
    Like shown above after writing some contents
    i need to add @@Thanks@@ then one ENTER
    Thanks in advance

    Ok, now I'm understanding you are using "Append existing file" option checked... The approach won't work with appending on...
    If you know when it is the end of the file you can do something like this...
    At the first line file will be like this...
    line1|line1
    Second line...
    line1|line1
    line2|line2
    When you receive the third line and you know that's the last line you write firstly this...
    line1|line1
    line2|line2
    line3|line3
    And then you write the @@Thanks@@ at the end using a different translation schema... Possibly a different FTP Adapter writing on the same file...
    line1|line1
    line2|line2
    line3|line3
    @@Thanks@@
    However, if you don't know when you are receiving the last line and/or you need the @@Thanks@@ always there it won't work with append option... You'll possibly need a sync read FTP adapter to read the file and rewrite it again at every iteration...
    Cheers,

    I would like to have the output encoding as "ISO-8859-1" in the FTP Adapter working with XML.
    I already put the patch to correct this (BUG 2375248). The adapter starts well, but when the adapters
    is processing the message it appears the folowing error:

  • BPEL process with DB adapter and FTP adapter

    Hi ,
    i need to read a table contents using DB Adpter after recieving the data i need to write a swich condition on column value of each record and dependin og the criteria i need to write the record in an appropriate file
    can any one help me out by giving any similar reference BPEL process
    regards,
    Anasuya Vemuri.

    Hi,
    Configure the DB Adapter as a service in your composite which does polling the table in the DB, there are many settings in polling, make your selection according to your business needs. Configure the FTP Adapter as a reference in the Composite. And use switch activity inside the BPEl if you want to check something like if else cases. And invoke the FTP Adapter and before that populate the invoke input variable values using assign activity copy operation. Make sure you create connection factories for both adapters and populate the important attributes for them in the SOA Admin Console.
