Zipping files/Compressing files in BizTalk 2010

Hi all!
I have a BizTalk solution that needs to pick up all files in a directory, zip them up, and send them to a customer. I'm using BizTalk 2010.
I tried using a 3rd party adapter I found on CodeProject but it would not work reliably. Are there other options out there for BizTalk 2010?

Hi Sean,
Check out the article,

Duplicate File issue using FTP adapter - BizTalk 2010

Hi We encountered an Issue of picking Duplicate files in BizTalk 2010 from the FTP Location. Need your assistance on this.
Mainframe sends multiple files a 0 KB file to FTP and BizTalk picks during a particular service window using FTP Adapter.
Receive Location has a pipeline component which decodes the MF file(EBCDICRow format).
Send Port transmits the file which is decoded in the Receive location. There is no mapping or orchestration involved.
When 2 files are placed in FTP Location. BizTalk Transmits the files successfully
No suspended messages in BizTalk but we see below error in event log. we tried reproduce the issue but no luck.

Hi Sri,
There could be two reason for such a behavior:
1) Using Non-Clustered Hosts: It is always recommended to use the clustered host for FTP adapter. Because FTP don't allow
any locking mechanism on the files so in case of non-clustered with multiple host instances you might receive same file multiple times through different host instances.
2) If the original document is still being written to the FTP server by the host application, the FTP adapter cannot
delete the document and will retrieve another copy of the document at the next polling interval that is configured for the receive location. This behavior causes document duplication to occur.
Workaround could be:
Configure the host application to write to a temporary folder on the same hard disk as the public FTP folder and to periodically move the contents of the temporary folder
to the FTP folder. The temporary folder should be on the same hard disk as the public FTP folder to make sure that the move operation is atomic. An atomic operation is an operation that is functionally indivisible. If you write data to the public FTP folder
by using the BizTalk Server FTP adapter, you can do this by specifying a Temporary Folder property in the FTP Transport Properties dialog box when you configure a send port. If you specify a Temporary Folder property, make sure that this folder is on the same
physical disk as the public FTP folder.
Configure the FTP receive location to operate within a service window when the host application is not writing data to the FTP server. You can specify the service window
when you configure the receive location properties.

Search Server is unavailable and could not be accessed While crawling .zip files

I Have Search Service Application running in one of the Application Server in my Farm. I am using Continuous Crawl to Crawl My Local SharePoint Site Content Source. Today I looked at SearchServiceApp:CrawlLog-URl page and Found out following error message
was encountered while crawling .zip files in the document library of a site.
I checked my list of Allowed File types .zip is listed

Hi octopus,
According to your description, my understanding is that you got an error when you crawl zip files in SharePoint 2010.
Whether this error occurred for all zip files in the entrie farm.
Please disable the authentication loopback, then do a full crawl, compare the result.
For disabling the authentication loopback, you can do as the followings:
Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK.
Locate and then click the following registry subkey: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa
Right-click Lsa, point to New, and then click DWORD Value.
Type DisableLoopbackCheck, and then press ENTER.
Right-click DisableLoopbackCheck, and then click Modify.

Reading a Compressed File from a ZIP File, which is an entry of ZIP File

Hello, Experts,
Would it be possible somebody to help me with code example for the following problem?
I want to read a compressed file from a ZIP file, which is an entry of ZIP File, without extacting/writing files on file system. Is this possible?
Lets say we have a ZipFile1. There is ZipFile2 inside ZipFile1. And inside ZipFile2 is FileA. The scenario is reading FileA without extracting on file system.
Thank you in advance for your help.
Cheers
RADY

The classes you want to be using are java.util.zip.ZipInputStream and and ZipEntry from the same package. Construct the ZipInputStream with the input you have for the outer zip. Loop with ZipInputStream.getNextEntry until you find the inner zip you're looking for - that method returns a ZipEntry, and you get the name of the zip entry with ZipEntry.getName. Read the ZipInputStream from that point into some buffer, and read that buffer into a new ZipInputStream - rinse and repeat until you have the contents of the file in the zip in the zip...

Problem with compressing unicode file names in zip file

Hi Everyone,
I have a problem while compressing the unicode file name in a zip file. I used the below code for compressing the unicode files.
String[] source = null;
// C:\\TestData\\unicode_filename.txt : unicode_filename.txt is the file created in japanesse language
source = new String[] {"C:\\TestData\\temp_properties.xml","C:\\TestData\\unicode_filename.txt" };
byte[] buf = new byte[1024];
// Create the ZIP file
String target = "C:\\TestData\\target.zip";
ZipOutputStream out = new ZipOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(target));
// Compress the files
for (int i = 0; i < source.length; i++)
     FileInputStream in = new FileInputStream(source);
     // Add ZIP entry to output stream.
     String fileName;
     File tempFile;
     ZipEntry zipEntry = new ZipEntry(source[i]);
     fileName = zipEntry.getName();
zipEntry = new ZipEntry(fileName);
zipEntry.setMethod(ZipEntry.DEFLATED);
getUTF8Bytes(source[i]);
// here I'm unable to find the unicode files and not able to understand.
out.putNextEntry(zipEntry);
// Transfer bytes from the file to the ZIP file
int len;
while ((len = in.read(buf)) > 0) {
out.write(buf, 0, len);

out.closeEntry();
in.close();

Attachment File non-English Name DISAPPEARS problem in BizTalk 2010 SMTP Adapter

Hello ,
I'm using BizTalk 2010 SMTP Adapter for sending mail with attachments by setting them via property SMTP.Attachments
//Attachment
msgEmail(SMTP.Attachments)= AttachmentList;
I have files in several languages (In English and in Russian partialy) for the example
My attachment list looks like this:
"C:\Temp\Files\EnglishNameFile.xml | C:\Temp\Files\RussianFileName_РусскоеИмя.xml";
After the sending Mail with this attachments the second file (it's name partialy in Russian) received without this part name
(The non-english part of name is DISAPPEARS)
like this:
RussianFileName_.xml ( must be RussianFileName_РусскоеИмя.xml)
The NON-English part is DISAPPEARS!!!
And if i have file that doesn't have latin latters (non-english) at all than BizTalk SMTP Adapter change name
to default one like ATT41233.xml
I found this behaviour occur in other non-english languages also!!!
Unfortunately i'm not found any info about this
Any help would be very
much appreciated
Vadim

Prefer photos compressed in zip file rather than imbedded in email

My daughter sends me pictures of our granddaughter using her Powerbook, iPhoto, and Apple Mail app. I use AOL for my regular mail. Mail seems to automatically imbed the pictures in the body of the email. If she sends a large number of pictures, even properly resized for email, it takes forever for these files to open in the body of the email. I received an email with 16 pictures and it took nearly ten minutes to open, and AOL kept warning me it was overloaded. Is there any way to use Apple Mail and have the pictures zipped?
ds

As I mention in a post to HTML question in this forum, I believe the only thing that distinguishes "embedded" from "attached" images is some tags in the message -- it really doesn't make much sense to talk about them as separate files until something processes them into such after receiving what is really a single transmitted message.
IOW, Mail (& every other MIME-compliant sender app) always sends the pictures in the email itself, so it is a question of which tags it uses with them & how processes use them that determines what you see at the receiving end. Ideally, the only processing occurs at the receiving end, but in reality the servers may apply processes before final transmission to the addressee. For example, many free email services insert promotional ad blurbs into the body of the message. A few, particularly AOL, can strip the non-text content off the message as a parental control feature or at the request of client software & deliver (or not deliver) it as individual files, sometimes substantially altering the content or encoding as yet another "feature" of the service.
Long time AOL users may have noticed such things in the pre-OS X days -- if you sent multiple attachments via the old AOL client, it would automatically convert them to a .sit file for uploading & (in theory at least) AOL would automatically serve them as .sit files to Mac clients & .zip files to PC clients. (What David S. sees now with the OS X AOL client is the equivalent of that, less the conversion between .zip & .sit.) Using the AOL client also used to -- & maybe still does -- change some file associations so that the "owner app" (the default app that opens the file) is the AOL client.
If you have the Mac AOL client installed, you may notice that it is on the list of "open with" apps for many, many file types. Ironically, it is happy to open & play System 7 sound files & will become the default for opening them since OS X doesn't by default provide any app that registers with launch services to do this. Similar things happen with other file types, particularly those that are common with PC's but less so with Macs, or are basically proprietary versions of compression formats licensed by the once-mighty AOL & still floating around the web because their use is as free as all those AOL client disks it was once impossible to avoid. (For example, if you occasionally want to compress files into .sit format & don't feel like paying for Stuffit, you can do so with the AOL client.)
Anyway, the point is once you involve the AOL client in the equation, you can no longer be sure what you send is what a recipient will receive, over & above whatever the client email app does to process the message, or anything else that occurs after a message is sent.
In my experience, the best approach for images or anything else you want to arrive unaltered is to first "encapsulate" every file into a single zip file with the Finder (actually BOMArchiveHelper, if you want to be technical about it), & then attach that to your email. This pretty much keeps services from mucking with it in any way: even if they split it out from the text of the message, they treat it as one, non-graphic file that can't be displayed inline, no matter what the tags or anything else say they can do with it.

Compress/zip files from the command line in Windows 7?

In Windows 7 is there a native way to compress or zip files from the command line? I'd like to do it without installing any third-party utilities such as 7Zip.

I fully agree that Compact is not the answer. There are additional concerns with the Compact command. It enables disk compression which is a total no-no. Very bad! It makes your computer very slow and is quite difficult to undo. The only time anyone should
use this command is when they're removing disk compression because someone turned it on to save space. Turning this off has to be done by booting into the recovery console, if my memory serves me correctly, and it's a real nuisance. So
definitely no to the Compact command.
If you wanted to compress files before sending them to another drive, or over a network, or by email, then Compact wouldn't actually help at all because the files have to get uncompressed whenever they're accessed, especially before sending them anywhere.
When I say accessed, I mean that just looking at a file triggers the OS to decompress it in the background and present you with an uncompressed version of it then letting you change it and recompressing it again for storage every single time you access the
file, which is why your machine gets slower. If you have folders or files that have blue text instead of black, then you've probably already made this mistake.
I would also like to know if there is a built-in command for zipping files/directories, or, if there isn't such a thing built into Windows, then I would like to know if this is feature is accessible through Visual Studio, which would be just as good as having
a command-line program for those of us that do a bit of programming.
If anyone knows if MS provides such a feature, either by command-line or through an API, then I'd love to hear about it. Good luck to those of you that have disk compression turn on.

Download report as compressed/zip file

Hi,
i was wondering if it is possible to download a report compresed/(zip file). Some reports are more then 10MB and it's sometimes timeconsuming to download it to you local machine via a slow internet connection. If this is possible.. Is it then also possible to create an Ibot to sent a zipped report to mail :)
regards,
Osman

I don't think you can compress a file or zip it and then download it. But you can schedule an ibot to download the file to a local drive using javascripts at night when no one is around and it doesn't matter how long it takes. Then, if you need to email them out, you can zip them there and email them. Here are some links that will help you with the javascripting:

Compressing a folder creates two zip files

I've got a folder called Blanks/ABC FM/SMS/Other and when I compress it I get two zip files of the same size: one with the correct name and the other called Archive.zip. When I remove the space I only get the Archive.zip. When I remove the slashes I get the correct zip file only.
Is this a bug that I should report? How?

If you were expecting C/D to compress to C/D.zip instead of Archive.zip I think I have an explanation for that.
The unix file system which is the underlying OSX file system uses slash (/) as a path delimiter. So to use an example like yours, if you create a folder A on the desktop and B within A then that the pathname is A/B. But in reality, being on your desktop it is /Users/you/A/B, where you is your user id.
The finder tries to allow as many characters as it can for filenames. But the slash it cannot allow in a filename when recorded in the file system. So what it does is actually change the slash to a colon in the actual filename. Thus the filename "A/B" in the finder is, in reality, "A:B" in the file system.
I think this colon-equals-slash naming convention is what causing the finder's Compress to treat the name specially and it just changes it the output to be the generic Archive.zip.
Compress is there as a convenience. There's lots of other ways to do zips. There's third party utilities. There's zip command in the terminal (where you can play the finder's game and generate A:B.zip so that it displays in the finder as A/B.zip).

Outlook 2010 can't open zip files in public folders.

The temp folders are empty. This is a new install.

This is very odd. I have a new install of Win 7 with Outlook 2010 and I can't open a zip file attached to an email in a public folder. It is not isolated to a single zip file, machine or user either. I can open .pdf, xls, .txt and others OK.
Ideas?
Thanks!

Can I delete files once I compress them into a zip file?

I am trying to get more space in my hard drive. One of the suggestions is to compress files I don't use. Once I compress them into an archive zip file, it looks like the files are still there. I'm thinking that I should delete the original files but am afraid to do so. What percentage space do I save when I compress?

What percentage space do I save when I compress?
That depends on the type of file. Files that are already compressed, such as most media files, won't get smaller, and they may get larger. Text files will compress by about half, on average, but that will probably save a negligible amount of space.
The right solution to your problem is to move the files you don't often need to an external hard drive. That drive must be backed up along with the internal one.

Zip files don't use a folder structure per-se, they use slashes to delimit path segments:
ZipEntry entry = new ZipEntry("Folder1/");
ZipEntry entry = new ZipEntry("Folder1/file1"); //etcTry it and if you have trouble come back and ask insightful questions.
