To pick files from multiple directory in FILE ADAPTER

Hi all,
Is their any settings or adapter configuration parameters to be used to pick the files from multiple directory .

Hi,
You can only specify one directory on the communication channel. The advance selection allows the selection of different files within this directory.
Therefore you will need a communication channel for each directory you wish to pull files from.
(Just looked at the blog and see it is possible after all - I'm on the wrong SP)
Kind regards
Colin.

Getting list of files from Unix directory inclding files frm sub-directries

How can I get file from multiple instance using file adapter

Hi.
Our system(PI7.1) have three application instances running with each physical servers.
We use sender file adapter.
The file data is sent to one of the servers.
Now, how can I get the file using three file adater?
Should I put the file "sapmnt(\usr\sap)" .
Or are there another solution?
regards,

Hi Ashutosh
You will have to use sapcar.zip which contains the utility Sapcar.exe utility for unzipping the files from SAP compressed files. (*.car file)

Picking files from multiple folders based on name send to destination folde

Hi,
I want to pick multiple files from multiple folders with one root folder. Based on file name I want to send it to diffirent folders. No need to go for message mapping. Can anyone suggest me.
Thanks & Regards,
Prasad Kotla.

Hi Prasad,
to pick the files from multiple source directory, can use "Advance Selection for Source File" in Sender CC.
If you wand to develop a Scenario without Message mapping, develop a scenario as "Sender as Virtual receiver"
This option is available in Sender agreement, just give the dummy name for Msg Interface and Namespace, Name defined should be same in Rec Agreement.
Develop only: Sende CC, Receiver CC, SA, RA
No need to develop ID and RD as no mapping is involved.
If u want to send the files to different folders of receiver side, just develop the adapter module which changes the directory based on the sender filename.
If the sender and receiver directory is same than check the "adapter specific Msg Attribute" and "directory" checkbox in both the sender and receiver CC. in this case no need to develop Custom module for changing the directory. files will be automatically placed in the path they were picked from sendor directory
appreciate if useful

How to pick files from ECC directory

Hi All,
I have to pick files from the directory of ECC. can anyone tell me how to configure the sender File apapter? Can i use NFS for the same?
Regards,
Lavanya R

Hi Lavanya,
With my knowledge two ways to pick the file from ECC using File adapter.
1. If you use NFS, mount point should be created in ECC for the Directory to access from PI.
2. If you use FTP, FTP ports must be opened between PI and ECC.

FTP Adapter to read multiple files from a directory. Not through polling.

Dear Friends,
I would like to know is it possible to configure the FTP adapter in Oracle BPEL 10.1.3.4 to read multiple files (different names, same structure) from a given directory. I do not want the BPEL to do a polling. Instead when I submit the BPEL process it should read all files from the directory.
I was looking at the option of Synchronous read but I am not able to specify wild card in the file name field. I do not know the file names at the time of reading.
Thanks for your help!

Hi,
While you read the file, you can configure an adapter property in 'Receive'. This will store the filename, this filename can be used for sync read as the input parameter.
1. Create a message type variable called 'fileheader'. This should be of type Inboundheader_msg (whatever relevant Receive activity).
2. This variable will contain three parts - filename, FTPhost, FTPPort
3. Copy this fileheader to 'Syncheader'.
4. syncheader can be passed as an adapter proerty during sync read of the file.
During Receive and Invoke, you need to navigate to 'Adapter' tab to choose the created message type variable.
Let me know if you have further questions.
regards,
Rev

Hi,
To pick form multiple folders, select Advanced Mode for file selection in file adapter..
there u can specify directory name/file names
Refer

Retrive files from multiple source directories

Hi,
I need to retrive diffirent formet files from multiple directories and based on file name I need to send it to destination folders. Can anybody suggest me How can I impliment this interface.
Thanks & Regards
VenkatK

Venkat,
I hope since you are taking different format files, you are not doing any mapping. You are moving from one location to another location, because if you different formats then you can do in one mapping your requirement.
If it is correct then as shabharish mentioned you can pick the files using multiple file sender adapters. With this you can pick the files, but to send to different directories enable ASMA in sender file commkunication channel. Then in receiver communication check the extension for each format and then give the directory name so that it routes to the destination you mentioned.

FILES FROM MULTIPLE DIRECTORIES

Hi Experts,
                I got a doubt here plz clarify it
    1.How can we pick files from multiple directories ? and all the files will have different names?
                Plz clarify this, good explanations willbe rewarded .
                                                                                Regards,

Hi Vinod Reddy,
One way that i know to solve this prob is by using the 'File Name Masking'.
This can be done with the sender channel, where you have to specify the
source directory as <NOTHING>
source file as <NOTHING>
This gives you an advanced selection option, where you need to give the Source Directories along with the File name masks (the source files).
Hope this may solve your problem.

Java Program to copy file from one directory to another failing

Hello All,
Oracle Applications 12.1.3
RDBMS: 11.2.0.30
SQL*Plus: 10.1.0.5.0
Java beginner here so help is much appreciated. I'm have some java code that I'm using to copy a file from one directory to another in an Oracle Applications Server. I notice that when moving to a new instnace I started to get file not found errors. I think it's because of the directory. My question is, does the directory in which I trying to pick up the file have to be a DBA_DIRECTORY, or a UTL_FILE directory in order for the java to find the file and move it?
Here is my code...
CREATE OR REPLACE AND COMPILE JAVA SOURCE NAMED "COPY_FILE_JVS" AS
import java.io.*;
public class COPY_FILE_JVC{
public static void copy(String SourceFile, String DestDir) {
    File source = new File(SourceFile);
    File dest = new File(DestDir);
    File cpDestFile = null;
    try {
      if (dest.isDirectory()) {
          if(source.isFile()) {
            System.out.println("File name = " + source.getName());
            System.out.println("File name dest = " + dest.getPath() );
            System.out.println("File name cpDestFile = " + dest.getPath() + File.separator + source.getName());
            cpDestFile = new File(dest.getPath() + File.separator + source.getName());
          else {
            System.out.println("Directory or File Not Found");
            return;
      BufferedInputStream br = new BufferedInputStream (new FileInputStream (source));
      BufferedOutputStream bw = new BufferedOutputStream (new FileOutputStream (cpDestFile));
      int read = 0;
      while((read = br.read()) != -1) {
        //System.out.println((char)read);
        bw.write(read);
      br.close();
      bw.close();
    catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
    catch (IOException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();

I get these messages when calling the java from SQL Plus as follows...
serveroutput on size 100000;
dbms_java.set_output(1000000);
MY_PKG.CopyFile('/home/my_user/set_env.sh','/interface/home'); (this is call to oracle pl/sql package which calls the java.)
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
Directory or File Not Found
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
If I change the directory from /home/my_user/ to any directory that is defined in DBA_DIRECTORIES or is a UTL_FILE directory to program works. Is it perhaps because the java is in a PL/SQL package as seen below? The PL/SQL program runs as the APPS user and I have issued the following the command grant JAVASYSPRIV to APPS.
Here is the PL/SQL Package....
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BOLINF.MY_PKG AUTHID CURRENT_USER AS
CopyFile(p_SourceFile IN VARCHAR2, p_DestDir IN VARCHAR2);
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Reading only Image Files from a Directory and ignoring the rest

i am wanting to be able to read a directory but only obtain the Image files (ie, gif, jpeg, tiff, png etc) and ignore all other type of files.
i have made a custom ImageFIlter class which extends FileFilter which works for adding a photo singly, as only image files are shown in the JFileChooser. however i am wanting to add a folder of photos at once.
here is the code so far:
File dir;
                    JFileChooser fc = new JFileChooser();
                    fc.setFileSelectionMode(JFileChooser.DIRECTORIES_ONLY);
                    //Handle open button action.
                    int returnVal = fc.showOpenDialog(MainAppGUI.this);
                    if (returnVal == JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION) {
                         dir = fc.getSelectedFile();
                         if (dir.isDirectory()) {
                              File[] files = dir.listFiles(new ImageFilter());
                              for (int i = 0; i < files.length; i++) {
                                   if (files.isFile()) {
                                        try {
                                             Photo PhotoAdded = workingCollection.addManyPhotos(files[i], canvas.getChangedMaxDim());
                                             //need to also add it to the relevant vectors, ie
                                             //for mouse over operations, or photos added after
                                             //save.
                                             if(!workingCollection.isDuplicate()){
                                                  photosToCheck.add(photoAdded);
                                                  canvas.addToGrid(photoAdded);
                                                  photosAddedAfterLoad.add(photoAdded);
                                                  canvas.repaint();
                                             else{
                                                  //do nothing as it is already in the vectors.
                                        } catch (Exception er) {
                                             // Do nothing. Bad mp3, don't add.
                                   // recurse through directories
                                   else {
                         } else {
                              try {
                                   throw new IOException(
                                             "Error loading files from a directory: "
                                                       + dir.getAbsolutePath() + " is not a "
                                                       + "directory");

                                   // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                                   e1.printStackTrace();
any ideas?

I'm confused.
You already ARE using a FileFilter to only pick up image files. Whats the problem?
If you need to recurse directories you need to change your code only a little.
Write your method
JFileChooser fc = new JFileChooser();
fc.setFileSelectionMode(JFileChooser.DIRECTORIES_ONLY);
//Handle open button action.
int returnVal = fc.showOpenDialog(MainAppGUI.this);
if (returnVal == JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION) {
dir = fc.getSelectedFile();
if (dir.isDirectory()) {
scanDirectory(dir);
else{
// not a directory
public void scanDirectoryForPhotos(File directory){
// taking your code
if (dir.isDirectory()) {
File[] files = dir.listFiles(new ImageFilter());
for (int i = 0; i < files.length; i++) {
    if (files.isFile()) {
// details deleted
// recurse through directories
else {
scanDirectory(files[i]);
Your exception handling is a little strange. You throw an exception only to catch it immediately to print a stack trace? Not exactly the most common handling I've seen. You should probably just throw the exception and let the next level down handle it.

Ssis - move files from one directory to another and rename destination file if present

Hello,
How is it possible to move files from one directory to another directory and if the file already exists in destination directory then rename it?
Thanks

1. Use a foreach loop with file enumerator pointing to first directory.
Inside loop have a ssis variable of type string to get filename (@[User::FileName])
Choose option as Fully Qualified in loop
2. Add another variable called @[User::DestFileName], set EvaluateAsExpression true for it and set expression like this
REPLACE(@[User::FileName],<source directory path>,<destination directory path>)
put actual paths in above expression in your case
and another variable called @[User::RenameFileName], set EvaluateAsExpression true for it and set expression like this
REPLACE(@[User::FileName],".","_old.")
3. Create a boolean variable say @[User::FileEXists]
4. Add a Script Task inside the loop and pass @DestFileName variable in ReadOnly mode and FileExists in ReadWrite mode
Inside Script Task write code as per below
http://blog.dbandbi.com/2013/11/13/check-file-exists-ssis/
5. Add File System Task choose operation as Rename File, Select IsSourcePathVariable as true and select @[user::DestFileName] variable and IsDestinationPath variable as true and select @[user::RenameFileName] variable
6. Choose ExpressionAndConstraint option for precedeence constraint from ScriptTask to above File System Task and choose constraint as OnSuccess and expression as
@FileExists == True
7. Add another File System task with operation as Move File Select IsSourcePathVariable as true and select @[user::FileName] variable and IsDestinationPath variable as true and select @[user::DestFileName] variable. Join Script Task as well as
File System Task above to this task and choose constraint as OnSuccess and Multiple Constraint option as Or (dotted line)
Then once executed it will work as per your requirement

Open file from a directory that is not web accessible?

Subject says it all really, I'd like users to be able to download files from a directory that is otherwise not accessible by the browser. There is a way to do this is PHP, the readfile() function. Is there something equivalent in Java?
Thanks!

You can do that with a Servlet and a shot of java.io API.
Here's an example: [http://balusc.blogspot.com/2007/07/fileservlet.html].
