#361 SOA 12c FTP adapter example

Here is a very simple example of using the ftp adapter.

I begin by downloading FileZilla Server and Client.

I then create 2 groups of the ftp server - admins and users













Then come 2 users - niall and admin
Passwords: welcome1















I also set up the shared folders -














Here is my file structure - I added the folder SharedFolder with its two sub-directories.










Configure the FTP Adapter via the WLS console.

I create a new outbound connection eis/Ftp/ncFTPAdapter

Here I added/changed the following -


























Here I set Password to welcome1 (The ftp user password)
Regarding ListParserKey - default in UNIX, I changed this to win.















Note: Port defaults to 21







Here I set
ServerType to win
Username to niall
















I then update the FTP Adapter -

























Now I create the composite in JDeveloper -









This will be a simple BPEL process that "puts" an input order to the ftp server.

The xsd -

















I now add the ftp adapter -






































Now Invoke from the BPEL process -





















Deploy and Test

























Check the ftp Server directory /SOAFTPOut






















Next level - FTP in and FTP Out

I will read from the /SOAFTPIn directory and write to the /SOAFTPOut directory on my FTP Server.












I created the ftpService on the left and a new BPEL process ProcessFTPOrder.


The service is configured as follows -

































All the BPEL process does is read in the file and then put it to the out directory on the FTP Server

















I test by copying one of the output files from the /SOAFTPOut directory to the
/SOAFTPIn directory.



















Kudos to whoever wrote the following - it was a great start.

#360 BPM 12c --> using the TaskService to initiate a human task

Task Service WDSL available at http://localhost:7101/integration/services/TaskService/TaskServicePort?WSDL

Here are the available operations -






















Now I create a standalone human task in my composite -
ApproveSimpleOrder1 is its name.
















I assign the following payload -












The task is assigned to user - weblogic.




















I test the initiateTask() operation via JDev's HTTP Analyzer -




















XML payload available here

I then log in to workspace as weblogic and see the task -











Notice, the task title includes the custNr.




#359 BPM 12c --> using the TaskQueryService

Business as usual here - essentially the same as 11g -

URL for TaskQueryService wsdl is -
http://localhost:7101/integration/services/TaskQueryService/TaskQueryService?WSDL

Here is a list of the available operations -





















Let's try out the basic - queryTasks
I want to retrieve all the assigned tasks for our good old friend jcooper.
























XML file available here

Here is an execution example using JDev's HTTP Analyzer -
















Same modus operandi for SOAP-UI

The process -







The pipeline -

























The Alert Definition -











The SMTP Definition -




















The AlertDestination definition


























Test result -
















Simple, isn't it?
