#488 ICS 16.2.1. FTP Adapter and Scheduler

Simple example leveraging the above -

Here are my in / out directories in my ftp server -

Here is the simple test -

File is picked up and written to out directory -

Here is the configuration of my ftp adapter - thanks Angelo for the
ftp server access.

Here is the Integration -

Here is the Read Configuration -

Here is the Write configuration -

Scheduling

Here I can define a schedule -

I can Pause the Schedule at any time -

Schedule is now active. Pause the schedule when you need to temporarily prevent this integration from running.

Tracking

Note, we see only the run - 1620394, actually processed a file.
I now click on the Run Id icon or the Message icon on the right.

I click on the File Name to see the actual instance.

Simple, yet very effective...

#366 SFTP (Put/Get) with the Oracle FTP adapter

Simple scenario here -

All the composite does is accept in an order and then PUTs the order to the FTP server.

As FTP server I am using Cerberus FTP.

I configured a new user niall

Note: the root folder for user niall is D:\Work\envs\CerberusFTP\NcFolder

Here are the Constraints -
niall can only use sftp

So user niall will use the above public key to authenticate.

So where did this key come from?

I used PuttyGEN to create public/private keys on the machine, hosting SOA Suite.

These keys are stored here on my machine - in D:\Work\keys

Now back to the composite -

Here is the configuration of the FTP adapter -

Note the JNDI Name eis/Ftp/ncSFTPAdapter.

I now go to the Weblogic console and configure this resource -

Properties 1 - 10: no changes.

Properties 11 - 20: change Host value to FTP Server host



Here is the ip address from the FTP Server console -

Properties 21 - 30: no changes.

Properties 31 - 40: change ListParserKey = WIN

Properties 41 - 50: set PrivateKeyFile to point to the SOA Host
private key.

change port to 22.

Properties 51 - 60: no changes.

Properties 61 - 70: Set

ServerType=win

Username=niall

(niall is, of course, our ftp user)

Properties 71 -74:
Set UseSftp to true

Save and update the ftpAdapter deployment

Deploy the composite and test -

--- GET ---

Here is my composite -

Adapter config as follows -

I drop a file into NcFolder

It is picked up and an instance of the composite is instantiated.

#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.
