hi,
srinivas,
sftp is a see burger adopter......it is used to secure the data.....means (financial data)....
SFTP provides a more secure data transfer alternative to u201Ctraditionalu201D FTP or FTP/s owing to the fact that SFTP encrypts the entire session, including username, password and data files, using the Secure Shell Protocol .........

SFTP adapter

Hi Experts,
I have SFTP to FILE adapter without ESR objects scenario.
I just need pick file from remote location and drop in to receiver side with same file name.
In this what ever I am picking up source files via SFTP adapter need to generate the same file name in receiver side.
When I have choose ASMA in SFTP adapter it is failing receiver side (File) . File name is not found like .
I have put file name is XYZ_*.* in source in SFTP adapter and Target side *.* in File adapter
this configuration is not working getting error in receiver side.
Can you please suggest to me any alternate solution for this scenario.
Regards
Tahir

Hi Tahir,
SFTP Sender Adapter :

Need to read source file without deleting it - Sender SFTP adapter

Dear friends,
The data from the source file needs to be read by PI on a daily basis. The file should not be deleted.
Vendor updates the file on a daily basis with file name DataFeed.xml
How to acheive this in Sender SFTP adapter ?
Kindly guide me
Renu

Hi Renu,
Unfortunately as of latest release of SFTP adapter. Arching is not possible :(. really dont know why :).
as a work around what you can do is create a scenario as 1 sender and 2 reicever.
here: 1 sender: will be the sender fileadapter which will pick the file from souce.
1st receiver: will be a receiver file channel which will palce back the file in the source Archive folder.
2ed Receiver: this will be the actual receiver to which the data has to be given.
Or write a Module in Sender adapter which will archive the files in new location.
Note: Here i am assuming that each time the source creates a new file with same name which contains new data in it everytime.

Sender sFTP Adapter - SSH Key

Hi All,
I have a small doubt regarding Sender sFTP Adapter. This is what we have done to connect with one of Vendor
1.     Basis created a SSH key in NWA for Vendor and sent to them.
2.     They linked the SSH key with user name and asked me to use the same.
3.     We got the firewalls openepd b/w PI and Vendor
4.     I provided the same detail in sFTP adapter, but I am not able to connect,
I am getting below error:
Error: Cannot connect to SFTP server. Host=########, port=22, username=#####. Private key store=########, private key alias=piPKCS12. Timeout=300000 msecs. Absolute home directory=.: KeyStoreException in Method: getPrivateKey( KeyStore, String, String ). The requested keystore type is not available in the default provider package or any of the other provider packages that were searched. (Software version: 3.0.14.2)
Please provide your inputs.

Sachin Dhingra

Hi,
The first thing you have to do is use the same userid and the pwd and try to connect to the vendor system from your application layer and see if this is connecting or not. If there is a problem in connection then there are few steps that you have to follow. Below are the steps you need to follow:
1. Open the port from your Vendor side as well as open the port from your XI system(there might be two ports)
2. Generate the key of your vendor system and one you started login to the system then it will ask to instal the key , so acept it.
the IS people can help you out over here.
3. Try to push the one dummy file in that location manually using the command in application layer.
4. check the authorization in the target directory and try to provide the proper authorization,, 777 is used for full authorization.
5. use the same useid and the pwd and then try from your xi system processign a dummy file.
hope this helps.
cheers,

BizTalk Server 2013 SFTP Adapter with private key - Did not poll any files

Hello,
We have a requirement to connect SFTP secure site with the private key and polling files. Initially I have
tested BizTalk Server 2013 SFTP Adapter receiver Port using Bitvise SSH SFTP Server tool and it was working perfectly in our local network environment( with public private key authentication).
However when we connected to Client SFTP server with private key authentication, It successfully connected to SFTP Server but
did not poll any files from SFTP Site. I added only one file to SFTP Server ( 145 kb file) for testing purpose.
However BizTalk Server 2013 SFTP Send Adapter is working well with the same configuration.
I could not find any errors in Event viewer also. I can download\upload file using WinSCP tool .
So I downloaded nSoftware SFTP Adapter trial version and deployed on server. nSoftware SFTP adapter is also working find
without any issues for Client SFTP Site.
This is the configuration on SFTP Receive Adapter
This is how SFTP Server download folder permission configured. I have got this details using WinSCP tool.
<o:p></o:p>
Appreciate your help on this.<o:p></o:p>
Thanks<o:p></o:p>

BizTalk Adapter for SFTP is where the polling logic is implemented. It is not part of the SFTP Client logic. any SFTP Client is for User Interaction and you do what you want/when you want.
The BizTalk Receive however is for purposes of automation and the adapter polls the receive location using the credentials every polling interval to check for the files matching the filter. When it find a file, it will read and publish to message box or
submit to pipeline for processing. Your setting the polling interval to 0 (ZERO) might actually be disabling the polling.
Set your poll interval to a non-zero value and check the behavior.

Why do we use a public key a authentication???/

Hi,
I think you need to use the certificates to encrypt and decrypt the data and the public key will be available in this certificates.
Looks like comms channel is looking for the certificate file.

How to configurate SFTP adapter

Hi, good morning,
I am currently setting up a communication channel SFTP, which will process multiple files configured in the list "Additional File".
When I analyze the communication channel in the "Run Time WorkBench" this is the result:
Picture - Communication channel
I searched what should be the syntax or configuration of the "Additional File" in SFTP adapter but i don't find it. This is my configuration:
Picture - Communication channel_configuration
On the other hand, I compare FTP Additional file with SFTP but It isn't the same.
Could you help me set it up properly?
Thank you very much.

Hi Eng,
I need to put "*" because the right part of the filename (after the point) could change.
For example i can recieve:
XETEX19E.ddaseaggge or XETEX19E.ddaseaggda or XETEX19E.ddadd and other.
Can i put * in the namePart definition? For example:
"19E.*"="34E.*"
Picture - NewOption
When I try it I obtain this error:
Picture - Other
Do i need to know the exact FileName?
Thanks.

Can we make server fingerprint field optional instead on mandatory in SFTP adapter

Dear All,
We are integrating SAP HCM with Success-factor only for Employee profile as client is only using the "SF PMS" module.
ABAP program(installed through SH addOn provided by SAP) is generating the Employee profile ".csv" file.
I am developing a bypass scenario to transfer that ''.csv" file to SuccessFactors SFTP server. However, SuccessFactors SFTP server team is not ready to provide me their "server fingerprint", and they are claiming this info is not required to develop interface in PI. The Authentication mode in SFTP communication channel is "Password" based instead of "Private key".
Experts please help me understand is there any possibility to make this field optional? if not what else I can try here?
Thanks,
Farhan

Hi Farthan,
Server Fingerprint is the mandatery field to fonfigure the SFTP adapter. kindly check with your admin team to login thorough CoreFTP, it will be genarte and display the Server fingerpring.
please go through the below log.

Hi Abhay,
Can you pls explain what are you trying to achieve here? Little bit about your solution/requirement and the way you implementing things?
As you have mentioned that you are setting the SFTP adapter properties dynamically within your orchestration, can you share the code where you are assigning the properties and constructing the message?

What type of adapter/ converter would I purchase from Apple if traveling to France? Does Apple even offer one?

What type of adapter/ converter would I purchase from Apple if traveling to France? Does Apple even offer one?

The power supplies used by Apple can be used with any line voltage between 100 and 240 volts so you done need any changes there.
What you will need is pin adapters because the European socket require different shaped pins. You can get the pins adapters at any hardware store quite inexpensively.
