OSB 10.3.1 Outbound File Adapter

Hi,
We have a requirement like, the service will receive an attachment (excel sheet and pdf files) file and store that file in the server.
We have created a business service of Messaging service with input as binary and out as none, and we are invoking the business service from a proxy service though a route-node.
Our problem, while writing to the file the MIME headers are also going into the file, and the file is not opening using MS Excel or Adobe Reader.
Please suggest me a wayout.

If you want to do this for marking a non responseive uri offline by the operational support , you can let osb automate this for you.

Dynamic file names in outbound file adapter

I have to configure a flow in XI system wich takes an input file from one machine and after mapping process leaves the output file in target machine with the same name of input file.
Name of input file won't be always the same (*.dat) so i cannot hardcode this name in outbound file adapter.
Does anyone know how to transfer input filename from inbound file adapter to XI message and then to outbound file adapter?
I know there is an option to create dynamic file names in file adapter but i think it isn't enought to solve my problem.

Get the filename after an outbound file adapter operation

Hello,
I am calling an outbound file adapter operation in BPEL (10.1.3.3) - using a filename mask with a sequence (i.e. po_%SEQ%.xml). I would like to provide the filename created at run-time (i.e. po_123.xml) to my BPEL process so I can send this in an e-mail. Is this possible?
Thanks in advance!

Well, I took a different approach - which looks like it will work. Instead of letting the adapter decide the filename - I'm generating that in BPEL and passing that to the adapter using the header variable. So ... nevermind. ;-)

Append functionality in Outbound File Adapter

Hi all,
I have a question regarding append functionality in outbound file adapter.
When I append files for example I get a XML file with different XML files in one file, but is it also possible to collect and bundle the files and get a same result when u use BPM?
Do I have to add some parameters?
Kind regards,
Kamran Vakili

It is not possible, when you append XML files.
The result XML file is not valid, as you have multiple declarations and root tags.
The append mode for the file adapter should be used only for flat files.

OutBound File Adapter Issue

Hi,
I need some help in configuring file adapters:
Process: I have a inbound adapter where i am feeding 4000 - 5000 rows of data from a flat file. I use these records to query a database and get response. I have a outbound file adapter where I write database response to a file.
Problem: I have set the, write new file to 100 records. But if there are 3950 records going to outbound file adapter, It is only writing 3900 records in the output file directory.
I need to write all records to the file. Please help me achieve this.
Thank You
Anil

Hi,
the batching criteria (100) is not met.
You could improve the bahaviour by setting "Elapsed Time Exceeds" parameter, but still, there are some probs because critaria is only evaluated on invocation (anyone has an answer to that?!):
from Doc:
Elapsed Time Exceeds: Specify a time which, when exceeded, causes a new outgoing file to be created.
Note:
The Elapsed Time Exceeds batching criteria is evaluated and a new outgoing file is created, only when an invocation happens.
For example, if you specify that elapsed time exceeds 15 seconds, then the first message that is received is not written out, even after 15 seconds, as batching conditions are not valid. If a second message is received, then batching conditions become valid for the first one, and an output file is created when the elapsed time exceeds 15 seconds.

TargetFilename in the Outbound File Adapter

Hi all,
I have created an interface that sends projects form SAP PS (by tRFC) to a file directory (using an outbound file adapter). Each project is created as a individual file. All this works well, but the filenames created for the files are not very intuitive for the users looking at the files at the receiver point since there are quite a lot of similar files only distinguished from each other by a timestamp (usualy only separated by milliseconds).
Is there a way to make the file adapter append data from one XML tag in the file name? I.e:
file.TargetFilename='<project></project>'.txt
file.writeMode=addTimeStamp
giving i.e a file '1234567_timestamp.txt'
This way I can include i.e. the project number + timestamp as filename making it user friendly for the people using the files.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Best Regards

HI
Read the file without using key field. Just define the FCC parameters Header and Items PI will pick the file.
DT_Source
 Record
 Header 0..1
 PO_Number String 0..1
 Items 0..unbounded
 Items String 0..1
Do the FCC
Header.fieldnames PO_Number
other config for Header
Items.fieldnames Items
other config for items
Thanks

Outbound File Adapter

Hi,
 We are working on idoc->file scenario. The target file structure used for mapping is as follows.
DT_XXX
 |___HEADER 1..1
 |___RESPONSE 1..1
 |___TROUT 1..1
 |___TRANS 1..1
 | |___TRANS_REJ 0..UNBOUNDED
 |___METER 0..UNBOUNDED
 | |___MET_REJ 0..UNBOUNDED
 |___TRAILER 1..1
The expected file format is like,
HEADER,1,1,1
RESPN,2,2,2
TROUT,3,3,3
TRANS,4,4,4
TRNRJ,5,5,5
TRNRJ,6,6,6
METER,7,7,7
METRJ,R,R,R
METRJ,R,R,R
METER,8,8,8
METRJ,R,R,R
METRJ,R,R,R
TRAIL
But the problem is like after TRANS,4,4,4 is written the file adapter is not knowing TRNRJ,5,5,5 is its child. But TRNRJ,6,6,6 is being written in a new line. The same case with Meter also.
we have given in the file adapter content conversion parameters as
DT_HEADER.fieldNames
DT_HEADER.fieldSeparator
DT_HEADER.endSeparator
DT_HEADER.keyFieldValues for each and every node in the target structure given above
Can somebody pls throw some light into the same???
Thanks in advance
Jayakrishnan

Hi
 We are getting the file as follows:
HEADER,1,1,1
RESPN,2,2,2
TROUT,3,3,3
TRANS,4,4,4,TRNRJ,5,5,5(b4 TRNRJ one new line should come)
TRNRJ,6,6,6
METER,7,7,7,METRJ,R,R,R(b4 METRJ one new line should come)
METRJ,R,R,R
METER,8,8,8,METRJ,R,R,R(b4 METRJ one new line should come)
METRJ,R,R,R
TRAIL

Soa Suite: How to limit Outbound File Adapter retry to write to specified location.

Hi all,
I have created a file adapter that tries to write files to the specified location.
If location is wrong, I was expecting to get an error.
But none is generated.
It seems that the service keeps on trying to write to the specified location until it finds it (which is never to happen).
Please tell if I am wrong at this.
I want my service to stop retrying after a period of time or after a number of retries or whatever is happening.
I want to get error if location is wrongly specified.
Regards and thanks in advanced,

Hi,
Place the receive (or invoke) in a Scope and place a OnAlarm on the scope.
Set the OnAlarm to a max timeout. When the OnAlarm is reached the sequence of that OnAlarm will catch the transaction and you can throw an Error.
You can then catch or retrow the error.
Below some images that show the concept on a receive (download to view).

Hi,
In your case, to write any data to a file, you need to define/use a schema when you are using a file adapter.

Unable to open file created by outbound file adapter

Hi,
I have a requiement for polling data from 3 different tables, mergind=g them and writing all data into a flat file in CSV format. However, I see that I'm unable to open the file with my personal UNIX credentials, since the file is getting written by the SOA UNIX credentials.
Is there any way to set the default permissions on the server so that the file is accessible to other users as well.
Any insight would be appreciated, I'm quite stumped with this. My working environment is SOA Suite 11.1.1.5 running on OEL 5
Thanks,
Debojit

Hi,
In my view this can be sorted out at a operational system level, if you set 'umask 2' for the SOA user (the user that is starting the SOA servers and writing the files) then files created by that user will allow rights for users in the same group. So, you will need to add the group id from the SOA user to your user groups.
It may be a little bit confusing, the link bellow explain how permissions work in a Unix system.

Need Help-SOA 11g File Adapter unable to delete input file and its crashing

Hi All
Please find the details below:
1. We have created a simple SOA composite to Read file from an input directory, archive the file in an archive directory using Inbound File Adapter Read
and then use Outbound File Adapter Write to move the file to a output directory.
2. File Adapter needs to delete the file after successful read/retrieval.
3. We are using the "Use Trigger File" for invoking the file adapter. This is a new feature in SOA 11g
4. Also we are using the option of reading the file as an attachment as we are not doing any transformation in the composite
Issue Details_
1. When the trigger file is put in the input directory for the first time, the File Adapter reads the file, archives it and moves it to the output directory
2. However it does not delete the input file from the input directory and raises Fatal Exception mentioned below:
[*2011-01-12T16:55:48.639+05:30] [soa_server1] [WARNING] [] [oracle.soa.adapter] [tid: weblogic.work.j2ee.J2EEWorkManager$WorkWithListener@19c243d]*

Hi,
Using the file adapter, you can poll from multilple locations...
Keep the following property in your .jca file
<property name="DirectorySeparator" value="," />
While giving the path in File Adapter configuration, keep comma and give the next location....then the file will be picked up from the locations you gave....
Hope this helps...
Thanks,

How to register a file adapter in XI Server? [XI 3.0 / J2SE Plain Adapter]

Hi,
I am trying to register an outbound file adapter (J2SE Plain Adapter Engine) in the XI server to finally map the adapter to a communiction channel.
What I tried is to activate the SLDaccessor service in the J2SE Plain Adapter Engine (as mentioned in Plain Adapter Docs -> Serive: SLDaccessor Service).
After restarting the Adapter, the protocol in Plain Adapter Engine didn´t show any errors.
Now my problem is where can I find in the "XI-Tools" (SLD, Configuration Builder, ABAP-based Server GUI) that the registration of the adapter did run properly?
What I expected was that my file adapter would appear in the Integration Builder in my communication channel under the tab "Parameters" in the drop-down box "Adapter Engine". Unfortunately, it is not listed there.
Furthermore, I do not exactly understand the benefit of registering the adapter in the SLD. What is the real advantage than establishing a connection between the adapter and the XI with the parameters XI.TargetURL etc.
Regards,
Kris

Jason, thanks for your answer.
Unfortunately, it is not running yet. The Adapter protocol states now:
11:03:00 : No entry in SLD found for Bus.System 'WeissmannBuisSys1'
The corresponding adapter configuration looks like:
XI.SenderParty=
XI.SenderService=WeissmannBuisSys1
XI.Interface=OrderMI
XI.InterfaceNamespace=http://www.foobar.de/sap/xi/test170604
Can I at least assume that there has been a connection to the business SLD?
If yes, I do have a Business System 'WeissmannBuisSys1' in SLD -> Business Landscape as well as in my Configuration Scenario under 'Business Systems'. Is this the right one to specify in the parameter XI.SenderService or will there be something else expected?
Besides that, the corresponding documentation is somehow confusing to me:
You can set the following arguments (except in mode FILE2XMBSTREAM) and use them to identify the adapter configuration during routing and mapping in the Integration Engine pipeline. You can also find an explanation about each argument there.
- XI.SenderParty=<sender party name>
- XI.SenderService=<sender service name>
- XI.SenderInterfaceNamespace=<namespace URI>
- XI.SenderInterface=<name>
- XI.ReceiverParty=<receiver party name>
- XI.ReceiverService=<receiver service name>
You must set at least XI.SenderService and XI.Interface. The receiver is generally determined by routing in the Integration Engine. This specification is not mandatory.
The XI.Interface mentioned in the last paragraph is not listed above in the parameters list. I assume XI.Interface == XI.SenderInterface.
In the german documetation there is also another XI.InterfaceNamespace mentioned in the last paragraph which I assume is XI.SenderInterfaceNamespace.
Regards,
Kris

File Adapter Service debatching issue

I am experimenting with the ESB to enable an inbound file adapter to read multiple records "debatching" from a file with XML content. I am using a router to pass to another FileAdapter for writing each of the child records to a separate XML file. So basically I am just trying to test reading multiple records from a single XML file and then putting each record in its own separate outbound file. Seems like this should be a pretty simple initial experiment with using the ESB. But when I drop this inbound xml file, it is getting picked up properly, but the entire inbound xml file is not getting split up or debatched into separate XML messages from the file input adapter. My confusion is over how the fileadapter works with files with XML content, I have checked the "Files contain multiple messages" checkbox and indicated batches of "1". So shouldn't this tell the file adapter to process one record from the inbound file at a time, passing it thru the router and ultimately to the outbound file adapter? If so, how does the file adapter know what deliminates each record in the XML file? Here is the inbound xml that I am trying to read/break apart and put each child XML element "service request event" in it's own outbound file. Please advice what I am missing here. I am not so sure that debatching in the File Adapter will work with files including XML content? Or perhaps that is a work around or example that someone has to explain how to do this.

I have been scanning thru the Oracle tutorials and googling, but have not found any examples where a single XML document is debatched via the File adapter in this way.
Thanks for any help,
Todd

I figured it out. I was using 10.1.3.1, which does not support XML debatching -- just flat file debatching. I upgraded to 10.1.3.3 and it works now. Before I did that, however, I followed the instructions here: http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/ias/bpel/pdf/10133technotes.pdf (section: Transferring Large Payloads in Oracle BPEL Process Manager) and downloaded those jarfiles. Perhaps they come with 10.1.3.3, but I did not remove them before I upgraded so I'm not sure if those steps were necessary.

Outbound File Adaper : Dynamic configuration of FileSize and number of msg

I want to configure dynamically following parameters of Outbound file adapter
1) Number of Message equals
2)Elapsed time exceeds
3)File size exceeds
If we set all those parameter at designtime then automatically it stored at adapter.wsdl file but how can I change those parameter at runtime.
Let me know regarding this.
Thanks in Advance

Noway.
Only statically. Stop adapter, change in manually and restart adapter.
Or write your own adapter in java.
Or create several adapters with different configuration and pick appropriate adapter dynamically.

Basic question in File Adapter

H all,
I have an Inbound FileAdapter polling for incoming files in a particular directory , a Routing service and an Outbound file Adapter which writes this file to another directory .
I have checked the Validate payload at Runtime box in the ESB Control.
I was expecting that if I place a file with data which doesnot conform to the input schema of the inbound file adapter, it should throw an error. But I noticed that the inbound file adapter picked up the file from the directory and deleted it from the directory after reading. But I couldnot see the file in the output directory.Neither is it showing any instance in the ESB control.
If I put a file with the contents conforming to the input schema , its working as expected . Also If I donot set any value to the output schema from the tranformation activity, it is showing 'Invalid payload error' in the ESB Control.
Why is it happening like this? Is it the expected behaviour?
Thanks

Yes this catches out a few people. have a look at these notes
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/integration/adapters/pdf/Adapter_TN_004_Adapter_ErrorManagement.pdf
http://web.deu.edu.tr/oracle/B14099_16/integrate.1012/b25307.pdf
they are old but still work today. I couldn't find the upded versions.
by default it writes the messages to the Oracle_Home\integration\orabpel\domains\domain_name\archive\jca\default_directory
