Write to IFS

Hi,
We have a requirement to transfer information to and from an IBM ISeries machine. At present, out current process receives XML files into a WatchFolder via FTP. A Programme running on the ISeries box is running on a scheduled basis and picks files up from the IFS and copies them via FTP to the LIveCycle ES Server)
I am looking at the easiest way to send XML Files back to the IFS but the Standard Foundation utilities (i.e. Write XML) do not allow files to be written to a different file server.
Is there any other standard way of doing thi, without writing WebServices or FTP Jobs to move files. I just want to save files from the process, directly to a different server to LiveCycle (and be able to specify the required authentication to access the UNC path to the location)
Thanks
James

Hi Howard, thanks for the reply.
I have had an op[portunity to look into this further and I have made some progress.
I have done the following:
1. In workbench, view the components
2. Expand the com.adobe.livecycle.FTP node
3. Expand Service Descriptors
4. Right Click on FTP and Activate Service. This allows you to create a separate version of the FTP Service and configure the hostname, port and login details. You can also just edit the settings for the default FTP servive.
4. Create a new Category and Process called FTP IFS
5. Drag a putFile component from the FTP IFS Service (N.B need to set the FTP component configured to appear in this category before it is available. You just need to add a dummy process to create a category)
6. Configure the proerties of this putFile in the FTPIFS process with generic input / output variables
7. Create a separate process 'TestPutFile' that invokes the FTP IFS process as a service.
8. set the file name, local file path etc as the input variables to invoke the FTP IFS service.
The above works, as it shows the TestPutFile as complete in the adminui but the file is not actually copied. The log indicates is 'Error copying the file'.
I'm going to test this between two windows servers next to see if this is an IFS specific issue

IFS & Workflow Example

Is anyone using iFS Agent's to call the Oracle Workflow API?
We would like to write an iFS agent to initiate a notification
workflow (through the Oracle API). Say when the status
attribute of a custom document changes.
Is this the best way to go or is Workflow a bit of overkill to
sending mail? We are having issues with the IfsTransport iFS
API and thought Workflow would be an alternative for our CMS
requirements.
Any suggestions of how to get started would be appreciated. An
example would be excellent!
Thanks,
Susan

Susan,
If the type of workflow you need is as straight forward as you
describe Oracle Workflow is probably a bit of an overkill. I
would write an agent that initiate a notification when the
attributes changes if that's all the functionality you require.
We have written an agent to notify users when documents are
modified under certain circumstances.
Hooking up to Oracle Workflow is certainly possible but will
probably take longer and for straight forward things is not
worth the effort at this stage.

Nfs mount point does not allow file creations via java.io.File

Folks,
I have mounted an nfs drive to iFS on a Solaris server:
mount -F nfs nfs://server:port/ifsfolder /unixfolder
I can mkdir and touch files no problem. They appear in iFS as I'd expect. However if I write to the nfs mount via a JVM using java.io.File encounter the following problems:
Only directories are created ? unless I include the user that started the JVM in the oinstall unix group with the oracle user because it's the oracle user that writes to iFS not the user that creating the files!
I'm trying to create several files in a single directory via java.io.File BUT only the first file is created. I've tried putting waits in the code to see if it a timing issue but this doesn't appear to be. Writing via java.io.File to either a native directory of a native nfs mountpoint works OK. ie. Junit test against native file system works but not against an iFS mount point. Curiously the same unit tests running on PC with a windows driving mapping to iFS work OK !! so why not via a unix NFS mapping ?
many thanks in advance.

Hi Diep,
have done as requested via Oracle TAR #3308936.995. As it happens the problem is resolved. The resolution has been not to create the file via java.io.File.createNewFile(); before adding content via an outputStream. if the File creation is left until the content is added as shown below the problem is resolved.
Another quick question is link creation via 'ln -fs' and 'ln -f' supported against and nfs mount point to iFS ? (at Operating System level, rather than adding a folder path relationship via the Java API).
many thanks in advance.

Advance Chart with BAR_VERT_STACK

Hi, I tried to create a chart some dificult for me.
This is my chart that is generate with rtf.

</Graph>
Well.
If you read I substract two values into chart: <xsl:value-of select="sum(current-group()/Valor_proceso_Aragon)-sum(Valor_proceso)" />
When the result is positive the bar is correct, but when the result is negative the bar is incorrect because 'B' Value is under zero, I know it is normal but I don´t want this.
This Image generate with MsPaint is result correct for all bars
!http://img339.imageshack.us/img339/8408/chartwrong.png!
Finally I think a idea but I don´t know it is possible.
This is my posible solution:
1.- For example the case is negative:
Can I write conditional Ifs into xsl:value-of select and how?
<?if:number(sum(current-group()/Valor_proceso_Aragon)-sum(Valor_proceso))<0?>sum(Valor_proceso)+sum(current-group()/Valor_proceso_Aragon)-sum(Valor_proceso)<?end if?>
<?if:number(sum(current-group()/Valor_proceso_Aragon)-sum(Valor_proceso))>0?>sum(current-group()/Valor_proceso_Aragon)-sum(Valor_proceso)<?end if?>
<xsl:value-of select="<?if:number(sum(current-group()/30)-sum(40))<0?>sum(40)+sum(current-group()/30)-sum(40)<?end if?>" />
The result is negative but thaks the conditionals now I have a positive result, for example 30(B) becasuse A=40.
2.-And after I configurate chart for paint transparent bar by "B" and outline bar by B, black.
Do you understand me? It is very dificult.
Thanks.

Carlos,
I few weeks back you found a solution to a chart issue the yo were having. I am currently having the same issue. Can you share the code for your chart?

How di I enter a sub-shell in a shell-function

Hi Community,
I'm searching for a quick and dirty solution to determine the folder size in a specific location. I tried to do this job in a for-loop but I ran into trouble with folders containing a space in it's name. So I changed the environment variable IFS (Internal Field Separator) to a new-line only instead the default whitespace. But after this I have to leave the shell to get rid of the user-defined IFS variable. Yes I could write the IFS variable in another (auxiliary) variable first to set it back to the default value after running the for-loop but this isn't a quick and dirty solution just for a short look to the folder size in a one line command.
So the one liner looks like:
IFS=$'\n' && for i in `ls`; do du -hs "$i"; done
With the result that the IFS variable changed for this session to a single new line. So I tried to define a shell-function who switch to a sub-shell, set temporary the IFS variable, run the for-loop and exit the sub-shell:
$ foldersize()
> {
> /bin/bash
> IFS=$'\n'
> for i in `ls`; do
> du -hs $i;
> done
> exit
> }
But running the function it only switch to the sub-shell and nothing more happens:
$ foldersize
bash-3.2$
So my question is how can I switch in a sub-shell using in a shell function?
Thx & Bye Tom

What is wrong with
du -hs *
if you want to call it 'foldersize' you can create an alias
alias foldersize='du -hs *'
If you really want to do your loop, you could try something like
foldersize()
 ls -1 "$@" | while read file
 do
 du -hs "$file"
 done
The 'while' loop is running in a sub-shell, so any shell variable changes made in the sub-shell will not be visible when you finish. For that you could use the following notation:
foldersize()
 while read file
 do
 do -hs "$file"
 done < <(ls -1 "$@")
Which will run the 'ls' in a sub-process and the 'while' loop will be run in the current shell invocation, and thus any shell variable changes made in the 'while' loop will be available when the loop finishes.
If you just want to do it your way, and do not need any shell variable changes returned to the invoking shell you could use:
foldersize()
 ( IFS=$'\n'
 for i in `ls "$@"`; do
 du -hs $i;
 done
Where everything inside the (...) will be run in a sub-shell, and all variable changes will not show up in the invoking shell.
Then again, you could have just put 'foldersize' in its own script file, made the file executable, and placed the script in $HOME/bin, then added $HOME/bin to your PATH environment variable, and when the script is invoked, it too will run in its own sub-shell. Simple
#!/usr/bin/env bash
IFS=$'\n'
for i in `ls "$@"`; do
 du -hs $i;
done
The "$@" syntax says if there are any function arguments substute them here and preserve any white space. The syntax includes the "..." as well as the $@. All 4 characters need to be specified as "$@" to get the white space preserving effect. And if there are no function arguments, then it is as if the 'ls' command was specified without additional arguments, as you have used it. This gives you the ability to get the folder size of the current directory as well as specify any directory you choose.
NOTE: All of the above should work as shown, most without the need for IFS

Read open file from IFS system

Hi,
The special programm create a new file on the IFS-volume and write some data in to this file. The program doesn`t closing this file (working some hours).
Can I read data from this file immediatly (stream access)?
System:
Oracle 9.0.1 WinNT

Hi,
First you need to upload the PDF file from FTP server. For that you can refer the following link
Re: acess file on FTP server
Once you upload the PDF file, you can convert the PDF to OTF and OTF to Text. But I am not sure on the function modules that will do this.

Fix many web access problems with IFS 9.0.1 on Solaris (and other OS's)...

When the installation is done according to the documentation,
web access does not work because the scripts that add entries to
the jserv.properties file add duplicate references to
wrapper.env and wrapper.classpath. Look at the jserv.properties
file below and look at the remarked-out (#) lines of the
duplicate references. For example, look at the references to the
wrapper.env=LD_LIBRARY_PATH
Oracle, please note this bug so the web access problems are
minimized when the product is intstalled.
Thank you,
William T.

About your home page; Manually set up Firefox with the window(s) and tab(s)
the way you want them to be. Then;
'''''Firefox Options > General > Homepage'''''.
Press the button labeled ''''Use Current'''.'
=====================================
Open a new window or tab. In the address bar, type '''''about:config'''''.
If a warning screen comes up, press the '''''Be Careful''''' button.
This is where Firefox finds information it needs to run.
At the top of the screen is a search bar. Enter '''''browser.newtab.url'''''
and press enter. '''''browser.newtab.url'''''
tells Firefox what to show when a new tab is opened.
If you want, right click and select '''''Modify'''''. You can change the
setting to; about:home (Firefox default home page), 
about:newtab (shows the sites most visited), 
about:blank (a blank page), 
or you can enter any web page you want. 
The same instructions are used for the new window setting, listed as
'''''browser.startup.homepage'''''.

How to insert Data in a table from iFS.

Hi,
We have an application that communicates with the customer through iFS. I am asked to add a new functionality to that application that will populate a
table in the database with customer id, customer inserted file name and internal file name after rename. I would
really appreciate any input on how can I achieve this
from our Custom Application using iFS.
Is it possible to achieve this through LibrarySession API or I have to write a separate JDBC application which will be called from our current application to do the task.
Thanks,
SA

Your question is little perplexing.
If you're using XML SQL Utility from
the commandline, just use putXML.
java OracleXML putXML

How to access IFS document contents in PL/SQL procedure ?

I am interested in using IFS as a way to load documents
(PDF, HTML, RFT, text...) in an Oracle database table, and
then access the table via a regular application Server.
I understand that the right way to do this is via a Java API
mapped on top of IFS.
But we already have a fairly sophisticated web application using
Java and PL/SQL procedures so that I would ideally need
to write a PL/SQL procedure such as :
function get_document (ifs_file_name in varchar, ifs_file_path in varchar) return clob
For this I need to outline how to query the IFS schema using SQL.
Any idea which table to query ?
Have a nice day

Many thanks to Chris Schneider : it works. Withing a few hours
I was able to make a servlet with a file name as a parameter which sends back
the file contents (in our case its a PDF file).

import java.sql.*;
public class TestIFS extends HttpServlet

* HEAD is just like GET, except that the server returns only the

//PrintWriter out;
String title = "Test d'acchs IFS";
// set content type and other response header fields first
response.setContentType("application/pdf");
// then write the data of the response
          ServletOutputStream outbin = response.getOutputStream();
          String theQuery=
     "SELECT "+
     " odm_publicobject.name object_name"+
     ", odmm_contentstore.id content_id"+

IS IT POSSIBLE TO CHANGE THE DEFAULT WEB PRESENTATION OF IFS?

We have a web application that has links to specific documents and directories stored in IFS. For example, there could be a link that resolves to this URL within IFS:
http://oraifs-pd.nbme.org:8002/ifs/files/home/ads/systems/CLOP/Minutes/Inventory/
What we see when the user follows this link is something like this:
Index of /home/ads/systems/CLOP/Minutes/Inventory/
CLOP_Shipping_Procedures.doc
Meetings
P&P0404.xls
P&Pdoc.xls
Samples
Schedules
Note that this is a very plain presentation, with just a heading telling you the directory you're in and a dumb list of the files and subdirectories you are looking at.
The developers would like to change this default presentation, if possible, without having to go deep into the IFS API calls to build a custom application.
Is there a template or default html file that we can edit to change this presentation? I opened a TAR on this, but was told to come to OTN since Oracle Support doesn't get into customization issues.
Thanks,
Joe

no, you cannot change the built-in http file listing that iFS provides. you can, however, write your own servlet and display whatever HTML you would like. the iFS API calls to get file listings by path and attributes from objects are very easy -- most of the work would be in building the servlet.

File Adapter to iSeries IFS "Configured source directory does not exist"

Good day, All
We are using PI 7.1
I need the PI file adapter to pull a file off of an iSeries(AS400) IFS folder directory.
I'm able to configure the file adapter to pull off files from the PI server C and D drives.
I'm able to configure the file adapter to pull off files from other network drives.
But the iSeries IFS folder keeps coming back "does not exist".
I've configured the Source Directory with / and with \ and it doesn't help.
I am able to navigate to the folder while logged into the PI server as the server admin.
I've tried mapping a drive on the server to the IFS folder but that doesn't work either.
Please help!!!
I've wasted too much time trying different settings on this already.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Chad

Dear Chad,
Please go through the following SDN link :
- Configured source directory .... does not exist was suppressed
give the write permisson to the directory for everyone group and check if that helps.
Also, kindly go through the following links :
1) http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/XI/TroubleshootingtheFile+Adapter (point 2)
2) Not able to read files from Windows directory to Unix Server using NFS
which might give some hints in solving your issue.
Best Regards
Nishwanth

Hi,
We are facing exact same problem?
Have you got any fix for this?
Please let me know.

Mapping the IFS from a Windows 2003 service

Hi,
We are trying to install Esker inbound faxing. The process involves their software receiving a file to a Windows server and transfering the file directily to the IFS using a service. My question is how do you get the service user mapping to be available to a service? We can't write the file so I'm assuming the IFS is not availablle to the service.
Thanks,
Craig

Hi Victor,
I think I am getting closer to understanding the problem but maybe not the solution.
The iSeries V5R4M5 has a domain of BRC.GBL defined locally (CFGTCP option 12) with a *DFT domain search list. The Host name search priority is *LOCAL.
Our Active Directory also has the BRC.GBL Domain definition.
But - when we interactivly map a drive from the windows server to the iSeries we need to use hostname/userid which to me indicates that we are requesting to use a local (not domain) user id. Then we log out and back in but the mapping is gone even though we have checked off reconnect.
Also for the user ID defined for the service, we cannot use hostname/userid but rather have to use the domain/userid. when I try and use hostname/userid in the service login I get an error that the user is not defined.
I'm not sure this helps, but hopefully my problem definition will be more clear.
Thanks,
Craig

IFS Searching with other Search Engines

Is it possible to set up iFS searching with or without interMedia) that would work with a search engine for static pages, like Infoseek?
From an "end-users" point of view, I would like to have them search for a document, some of which may be stored in the database, but others are html pages used for the site.

You would have to write a custom program which would submit searches to IFS and to your Infoseek search engine, and then combine the results for the end user.
Or you could use iFS and Intermedia to index the static HTML pages.

Logging in ifs and renderering capabilities out of the box

Hello there
Just wondering if anybody could clarify/confirm a few things for me...
I'm currently trying to use 9ifs as a 'conversion' engine. I have an XML file within a 9ifs repository that I wish to transform using an xslt when I retrieve it.
Does 9ifs contain out of the box functionality to perform this? If so, how do I use it or do I need to write a custom renderer to perform the tasks that I have specified?
I have had a play with the SimpleXmlRenderer however have not been able to find any solid examples of how to use it nor do I know whether it is possible to use it to specify the xslt that will perform the transformation.
I have also heard that 9ifs has an inbuilt 'logging' capability - ie it can keep a record of files that have gone in to 9ifs or gone out. Is this also true and how would I use it?
Finally, I have heard that one of the capabilities of ifs is that it provides 'transactional' support in either putting files into the repository or taking files out - ie a file is either there or it is not, there is no in between, corrupt file state. Can anybody shed any light on this as to whether it is true or not?

The CMSDK does not include any out-of-the-box XML transformation capabilities, but it is very easy to code XML/XSLT transformations using Java, and I believe Internet Explorer has built-in support for it, so one could consider that built-in functionality. You could write your own servlet to perform any kind of transformation you wish on any file in the CMSDK, and serve up the resulting file via HTTP, for example.
The CMSDK is extensible and configurable in a way that could allow you to keep track of files uploaded and downloaded into the instance. You can write custom code and plug it into various extensibility points which allow you to modify default behavior or extend it to include custom operations. See the developer's guide and the javadoc for more details.
The CMSDK is a transactional object store -- it is true that files can be uploaded and modified within a transaction, and completely rolled back in case of failures.
