XI in the role of an FTP server

Hi there,
I am working with a FILE to FILE scenario using no mapping. I followed this blog: /people/shabarish.vijayakumar/blog/2006/04/03/xi-in-the-role-of-a-ftp
This is currently working but, i would like to know if you guys know if there is a way to avoid the limitation of having the same FILENAME.
I mean, i would like to get a file with an specific name, process it (only routing, no mapping) and put this file in other system BUT with different name, or event with timestamp (in order not to overwrite files).
Any clues??? Any helpful will be rewarded.
Thanks and kind regards,
David

>>i would like to get a file with an specific name
Use the variable substution option in the receiver CC to give the file a name from the payload.....
>>event with timestamp (in order not to overwrite files).
Select the file construction mode as Add to time stamp in teh receiver CC..

Just upgraded iWeb app to version 3.0.4 from an iLife 11 disk. I like some of the newer features but it seems to have one glitch: when I upload the pages to my ftp server, the automatic navigation bar at the top of the page disappears. Any ideas?

Looks like a couple scripts are missing:
If you republish the entire site iWeb should recreate these for you...
I don't use the built-in navigation. I usually just create my own:

Empty lines at the end of the payload generated in FTP server

Hi All,
I am facing an issue in one of the use cases that I am trying to implement.
I am getting a purchase order from one of the trading partners through Oracle B2B.
B2B forwards this B2BM (B2B message ) to AIAB2BInterface. From AIAB2BInterface my BPEL process gets invoked, which in turn invokes the AdapterComposite which has a FTP adapter that writes the purchase order to a FTP server. PFB the end to end flow.
PurchaseOrder from ABC trading pertner--> Oracle B2B --> AIAB2BInterface --> TestInputProvABCS --> TestInputAdapter -> Host trading partner picks up the file from FTP location
In the ProvABCS I retrieve the actual payload from the B2BM and convert it into a string using ora:getContentasString. I am then invoking the adapter composite and sending the string as the input to FTP adapter. At the adapter composite I use a simple native schema (for validation of the input string) which has only one element PO_Info of the type string. But when the file gets generated in the FTP server there are empty lines and junk characters at the end of the file.
Need some advice on this. Why are the empty lines coming in the end of the file? Please help!
Thanks

OK, I cannot figure out a way to modify the JTable (in an extended class) directly.
So, what I did was to add a wrapper around the TreeTableModel which shows an empty row at the end.
For those of you who are in a similar situation, the methods that I had to modify are
public boolean isCellEditable(Object node, int column);
public int getIndexOfChild(Object parent, Object child);
public int getChildCount(Object node);
public Object getChild(Object node, int i);
These other methods are required if you are using a TreeTable instead of just a table (see http://java.sun.com/products/jfc/tsc/articles/treetable2/index.html)
public Object getValueAt(Object node, int row, int column);
public Object getValueAt(Object node, int row, String columnName);
public void setValueAt(Object node, int row, int column, Object newValue);
public void setValueAt(Object node, int row, String columnName, Object newValue);
The signature of above methods is slightly different than the ones at: http://java.sun.com/products/jfc/tsc/articles/treetable2/src/TreeTableModel.java
This is due to the fact that, if you want to display the serial no. (as in row number), then getValue() can just return the row number. IndexedTreeTableModel is another wrapper around the TreeTableModel which can add an extra column to display the serial number.

You need to configure a Proxy service for the polling.

How to create the anonymous user for FTP server in Linksys E3000?

I made a FTP server in my Linksys E3000 and everything work great. But when I send URL to my friends to download file, everyone must login
So, can I create Anonymous User (like FTP server in PC) to simplified everything ?
Thank you so much!

Thank Great_White!
But i mean not that. I can create user to access my FTP server but that users must have user name and password.
I want to create Anonymous User like FTP server in Computer (no user name and password). So when i send link to my friends, they can download without login user name and password

XI as a FTP server only

Hi folks,
I'm trying to implement this scenario:
send a text file using FTP adapter with XI playing only the role of a FTP server, without parsing the file.
I created both receiver and sender comunication channels, and dummy interfaces in receiver determination (in directory). In repository i didn't do anything.
However the 5 seconds interval seems not to works because nothing happens. what should start the scenario?
Am i missing something?
Best regards.
Valter Oliveira.

Wow, thanks for the fast answer,
thank you all for that.
Michal,
I think so. the pool interval is set to 5 seconds, and the path i believe is correct too. a good clue could be that fact that i'm using the delete mode and the file is still there.
Jai,
My scenario is just like the one in the blog. No IR developments, and the step by step instructions of the scenario are similar to my scenario (so i believe the problem is in the communication channels i created).
Mario,
I checked that too ... i have the write rights.
Cornelius,
There's nothing in the adapter monitor. In the filename i used "CGD*", because the files will all have this patern. CGD+date (without extension).
Thanks again for your help.
Best regards.
Valter Oliveira.

Using XI as a FTP Server ?

Hi
I would like to use the XI for transferring files from 2 systems, both of them have a FTP server installed, they don't share the same file system with the XI, I would like to have the following scenario :
1. Application A create a data file.
2. Application A flag the XI that the file is waiting.
3. The XI get the file using FTP.
4. All the relevant mapping is done at the XI.
5. The XI put the file at Server B.
6. The XI flag Application B that the file is waiting.
7. Application B load the data file.
does the FTP Adapter have the required abilities ?
Can someone guide me what to do at the XI for the above scenario ?
Happy holiday ,
Yaki

Hi,
You are using XI just to transfer files b/n 2 systems and u dont need of any mapping requirements in XI as u r just transferring files via XI.
So XI will act as FTP server.
have a look at this blog:
<a href="/people/shabarish.vijayakumar/blog/2006/04/03/xi-in-the-role-of-a-ftp">XI in the role of FTP.</a>
U can do the same without using integration repository.
Please refer this link:
<a href="/people/william.li/blog/2006/09/08/how-to-send-any-data-even-binary-through-xi-without-using-the-integration-repository to send any data (even binary) through XI, without using the Integration Repository</a>
Hope u got it.
Cheers,
Prasanthi.

File(FTP) Adapter doesn't pick any file from FTP server

Hi All,
This is a strange problem. I am trying to pick all the file from a FTP server using File Name: . . But the file adapter doesn't pick any file from the directory. When I change it to a specific file name eg. ABC.txt then it picks up the file ABC.txt only.
My requirement is to pick up all files in the directory and I just do not seem to understand what is wrong. I have used this wildcard option several times earlier and it always worked fine. But in this case, this does not work.
I changed the FTP server to point to an internal FTP server and it works fine.
I have checked all my parameters and everything looks okay. Like I mentioned earlier, if you specify exact file name, it picks up the file.
Any guess as to what is going on here?

Transport Protocol: FTP
Message Protocol: File
source directory: /test or test ( either one works)
file name: * or . or *.txt nothing works
server: ftp server name
port: 21
data connection: passive
user: ******
pass: ******
connect mode: permanently
transfer mode: text
QOS: exactly once
poll: 10 secs
processing mode: archive ( changed to test and delete as well, but made no difference.)
archive dir: dir path
file type: text
adapter specific attributes:
checked: set adapter specific attributes
and file name.
status: active.

Can i use my time capsule as ftp server

Hello to everyone,
resently I have read in the net that it is possible to set the time capsule as ftp server and also as a local server.
Can enyone explain me how to do it pracally?
Thank to people hwo will help in advance.

You heard wrong.. there is no ftp server in the TC..
It can do SMB to windows and AFP to apple.. and that my friend is that.
If you load files onto the TC you can access them remotely only via AFP.. google search remote access time capsule.

Java code to create a new .txt file in FTP server --- Help

Hi,
I wrote a standalone java app which creates a .txt file in my local machine and transfers it to FTP server. But my requirement now is to create a new .txt file with the same content in FTP server itself instead of creating locally with basic java code.
I'm aware of transfering file from local machine to the FTP server using STOR command of FTP. But i never tried creating a new file & writing content into that in FTP server.
So, if any one did this before please help me out with source code or any idea ???
Thank you.
Vj.

thanks for your reply. yes i've seen the Apache Commons NET API , but there is no method or class to create a new file in FTP server. I'm really worried how to solve this problem ???Sure there is.
There's a method where you can write data to a file on the server using an OutputStream, right? Well, instead of writing to a FileOutputStream, write to that OutputStream instead. Remember to close the OutputStream and call the method which says you're finished with the command (I forget what it's called).

Running a batch file on ftp server

HI All,
i am trying to use Command line facility of file adapter to run a batch file..
i batch file i have a single command as
mkdir ranjeet.
how should i call this batch file from file adapter..
i tried putting batch file name in the command line section. I had copied the batch file on ftp server at location of Target Directory..but in audit log of adapter i am getting error as OS command cannot be executed..

Ranjeet,
>>ok..but what will command to be run of ftp run..
How do you expect any one of us to know what your ftp server is based on.
The previous reply by Carme has answered your XI query and to the point. You acknowledge it with a ok!! I guess it is too rude on your part.
Anway answering your question, that depends on your FTP server. Log in to your FTP server manally and try executing these commands and check.

FTP Server in SAP XI

Hi Friends,
1. i have a question in XI. i want intergrate Mainframe systems and Siebel system through XI by using File to File Scenario.
here XI will pick the file from Sender FTP server with File adapter, processing the file and send to Receiver FTP server with File adapter.
Here my doubt is, FTP servers are different systems or both are same? And these servers are not part of the XI server right?
here i am confusing so much, i am thinking both sender & receiver maintaining their own FTP servers.
2. what is soap end point.
3. how many elements are there in a sender data type for JDBC to File Scenario.
please respond regarding the above quickly.
i am very thankful to you all in advance.
Regards,
Nagarjuna.

here i am confusing so much, i am thinking both sender & receiver maintaining their own FTP servers.
FTP protocol is generally used for communication with external servers, it is not part of XI, it is operating sytem level protocol. We need to active FTP server at operating system level
2. what is soap end point.
For SOAP interface we need to create web service, it is part of XI, through WSDL we can create web service
3. how many elements are there in a sender data type for JDBC to File Scenario.
If sender is JDBC we need to create SQL query in XML format, after that message type, interface type and Mesage Mapping & interface mapping need to configure. Meanwhile receiver structure*
please respond regarding the above quickly.
i am very thankful to you all in advance.

Receiver-File-Adatper creates empty files on FTP-Server

Hi experts,
I have a problem with my IDOC-to-File-scenario. My Mapping converts IDOCs to XML-files. Then the xml-files should be send to a ftp-server in New York. but only the filename is created on the ftp-server in New York. but without any content.
At first I tested the scenario with a ftp-server in our company. and it works. the files and the right content were created. so the scenario and the mapping are working correctly.
Have you any idea what the problem is?
Thanks and best regrads

Dont use anonymous login. Please provide user name and password.
Also go to adapter engine queue. There see the details description of your message. There it will specify which file got created, on which FTP server, in which folder and also how many bytes XI has transferred. If possible let me know these details.
Also try uploading any other file to FTP.
For this got to Command prompt.
1. open (o) IP ADDRESS
2. User name
3. Password
4. go to specified folder
5. Use PUT command to save the file on FTP server.
If after all these empty files is getting created then contact your system administrator and tell him to check firewall settings. Because there are few parameters which allows data transfer.
Because if firewall problem is there then u wont be able to put a file manually on that FTP server.
Let me know the output.
Warm Regards,
Gouri
