Urgent ! BPEL file and ftp adapter problem.

Hi All!
I have created a bpel process having two partner links.One for the ftp adapter and one for the file adapter. I want the ftp adapter to poll the *.pdf files in the specified directory on the remote machine periodically and get them to my local machine here. For this I am using ftp adapter with read operation and with opaque schemas(because I want the files as they are without any transformation). I am using a receive activity with the ftp adapter, with the create instance box checked.
To write the file to the local machine I am using file adapter and write operation.File adapter also uses opaque schema.With this file adapter I am using invoke activity.Invoke is below the receive activity in the bpel process. I deployed this successfully on the default domain. I want the bpel process to run automatically,depending on the polling frequency given and create instances and bring the files to my machine.
But it is not happening.
Can anybody tell me where I am going wrong.How to accomplish this? It is very urgent issue for me.
Thanking in advance,
Regards,
Deepika.

Hi All!
Now I am able to write files and also read files successfully with the remote server. I followed the same method described above.I am using binary format itself for pdf files.But I have to check the option 'to delete files after successful retrieval' to make this happen.I created several partnerlinks with the option in the ftp adapter not checked,but it is not working. Has anybody done successful retrieval without deleting the files at the remote server? If so please let me know.
Thanking in advance,
Regards,
Deepika.

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

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
200|PO_226312|1234|Line_id_1

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

How to generate .pdx file using File Adapter and FTP Adapter

Hi,
is it possible to genearate .pdx file using oracle ESB Adapters(File Adapter and FTP adapter).
Can you anyone guide me.
Thanks,
Raj.

hi,
regarding report, there is a dedicated report forum. you should post there.
but answer for your question is form is nothing to do with the pdf generation. you can call the report from the as usual.
In the report you should set the properties like
destype to 'file'
desname to 'path with file name'
desformat to 'pdf'

Difference between File adapter and FTP adapter

hi,
I would like to know what is the difference between File adapter and FTP adapter
thanks
Yatan

Both file and ftp adapters are non-concurrent jca adaps, however we go for file adapters mostly when you have files on your local environment and do not need to wait for someone to FTP the files on a timely basis. In case of FTP Adapter, we would need an FTP Server, a remote location with access where in files pitch in for polling.
Also, File adapter is dependent on the local folder and OS, however FTP adapter is dependent on the local as well as the remote file system/OS/folder permissions/user access.

Reading .jpeg files in FILE or FTP adapter

Hii
I have to send .jpeg files at regular intervals using BPEL.
I read about Base64 data type. I tried to create File Adapter and FTP adapter. I specified the folder location and *.jpeg as file pattern. I have made schema to opaque.
But neither File or FTP adatper are picking up the file from specified directory. As per my plan, once I will get Opaque schema in BPEL, I will use Base64 encoding to get the data as string and to pass it to the endpoints.
Any idea what I need to do in order to read .jpeg files.
Any help is highly appreciated.

Thanks for the help. Actually, I am following the similar process as given in "Tutorial 11 : File DB Integrations – Handling of opaque data types".
I'm using SOA Suite 10.1.3.3; the .jpeg file is being picked up by the File Adapter, but failing to create BPEL instance with the following log details :
+"<2009-03-06 17:02:13,053> <ERROR> <default.collaxa.cube> <BaseCubeSessionBean::logError> Error while invoking bean "cube delivery": [com.collaxa.cube.engine.delivery.CorrelationResolutionException: Correlation definition not registered.+
+The correlation set definition for operation "ReadJPEGOp", process "SyncBase64BPELProcess", has not been registered with the process domain.+
+Please try to redeploy your process to the process domain.+
+]+
+ORABPEL-03802+
+Correlation definition not registered.+
+The correlation set definition for operation "ReadJPEGOp", process "SyncBase64BPELProcess", has not been registered with the process domain.+
+Please try to redeploy your process to the process domain."+
I have deployed the process multiple times on two different SOA Suite Server 10133, but getting the similar logs. The file is being picked up but not generating BPEL instance.
Any idea ???

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,

Inerconnect smtp and ftp adapter

Does anybody know if it is possible (and how) to change the name of the files generated by the smtp and ftp adapter. for exmple I want to give a fail created by the ftp adapter an extension .csv.
How can I arange this??
Thanks,
Edward

Why don't you try using the FileModificationTime as DirListing in the Activation Spec. If the activation spec is configured that way, it parses the timestamp from the Directory Listing.

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.

BPEL FTP Adapter problems

Hi!
I have two problem using the FTP Adapter in a BPEL process.
The first can be described as follow: I have a BPEL process that incapsulates the FTP Adapter and it is deployed correctly on the BPEL default domain. It's working fine in a normal context with no error. Now I want to simulate a "read FTP Server" crash; so I put the FTP Server from which I'm reading off-line. When the GET module of the FTP Adapter tries to poll the server, it generates a Null Pointer Exception and on the server command window I can read, after a while, that the process state will be set to OFF. But when I enter in the console I always see the state ON! But the interesting question is: is there an automatic way to recovery the process and to restart it? I see that in the domain parameter there are two values: rcvAgentDelay (7200) and rcvThreshold (600). I tried to set them to some other values, for example (120) and (10), but the process still remains "blocked" and no new polling seems to happen.
The second problem is about the creation and the deploying on a new domain. I create a new domain called "bulk" and I tried to deploy my process on it but I can't do it due to the generation of many exception! Can I deploy a process with a FTP Adapter component inside on a domain different from the default one? And if the response is positive, like I think, can you summarize the most important steps of it and if I must configure some specific domain parameters?
Thanks a lot,
Busnelli.

OK, firstly I want to thank both of you, Rakesh and Maneesh.
Here are the details requested:
Operation System = Windows XP Pro SP2
BPEL Process Manager = 10.1.2
BPEL Server version = 2.2 (build 1361)
JDeveloper version = 10.1.2 (build 1811)
BPEL Designer version = 10.1.2 (build 050322)
Usually after any modification I'm used to restarting the BPEL server.
Today I have downloaded the "Oracle JDeveloper 10g (10.1.3) - Developer Preview" (I think to be the Post Beta 3) and as soon as possible I will try to use it.
Thanks to both!

Problem while reading multiple files through FTP Adapter

Hi,
We have a requirement to read the excel files placed in an FTP Location and as there is no Adapter to read Excel file
we are using FTP Adapter and reading the Header values of the file(name of the
file) and we are paasing as input to the Java code which will read the data nd insert into the Database.
If we place above 20 files it was reading only some files and some were left and if we delete the files and place the unread files again some files are read and if we do the same procedure then all the files were read.
Any help regaring this appreciated.
Thanks and Regards,
Nagaraju .D

Are you doing anything complex for your polling, e.g. Files that must be n time old.
Can you post the WSDL so I can see the polling configuration. I only need to see the adapter configuration, not the whole file.

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

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>

Clemens,
It's very nice to know that guys like you are here to help people like me. I develope the same BPEL Project on a stand alone windows installation (BPEL Server 10.1.2.0.2) a Works perfectly.
I'm sure know the problem resides on the BPEL Server or the OAS. Besides updating the BPEL Server version what order suggestions do you have in mind????
What do you think about OAS R3??? Is it trusted to upgrade to R3 now????
Thank very much for your time.
Cordially,
Jose

File and FTP Question

We have a situation where a bank places an EDI document on their FTP site and then we go and download the file and process it. We are SOA Suite customers and have been using the tools for over a year. My question is would it be recommended to tackle this problem with BPEL or ESB and the ftp adapter? The bank doesn't require any kind of acknowledgement, but I've never dealt with EDI docs before and thought B2B might do a better and more seemless job of processing the EDI doc. My other concern is that B2B is overkill for this scenario since it isn't transaction based meaning the bank will place their file a couple of times a day and not everytime there's a transaction. Hope this makes sense. Be happy to provide more info as I'm just getting started.
Thanks for any advice.

Ramesh,
Thank you for the reply. My confusion is that I don't really have a trading partner to setup or specify communication. I simply need to poll an FTP site for an EDI document and process it, basically a one-sided effort. Is this possible with B2B? There is essentially no interaction with the bank and no acknowledement that needs to be sent.
Thanks again.
