Changing the Archive File Name in Inbound File/FTP Adapter


Requirement:

To customize the archive file name, remove the junk characters from the archived file name. The default format is as under.

SOA 10g - filename_yyyymmdd_hh24mmss
SOA 11g - filename_encryptedToken_yyyymmdd_hh24mmss (new format introduced with 11g)

The possible customization is given in the solution below.

Solution:

SOA 10g: 

You have a JCA property for FIle/FTP adapter, UseLongArchiveFileName, which can be used to prefix the process name to the archive filename to make the format filename_processname_timestamp.

SOA 11g (11.1.1.3/+) 

UseLongArchiveFileName is not available in 11g. Apply Patch 10155914 and it will become available.    

SOA 11g (11.1.1.5/+) 

Apply Patch 13249896.
A new property  UseDigest can be used now in addition to  UseLongArchiveFileName (11g format as filename_processname_digest_timestamp) with File/FTP adapter.
By default UseDigest is set to true which leads to the digest (encrypted token) being sandwiched in the filename and timestamp as filename_digest_timestamp.
Setting this property to false will change the format to filename_timetamp. To use this property edit the .jca file to include this property as given below.

SOA 11g (11.1.1.7/+)

UseDigest property will be available by default without the need to apply the above patch.

There is, however, no further customization possible (presently) in terms of adding instance id to the file name or specifying custom file name. Hope the same gets available in the 11.1.1.7(+) or 12C version.

    Hi Neeraj,

    I have a requirement of Renaming the extension of the file. Suppose there is one file "a.sent" present in a folder. Then as per our requirement it should be changed to "a.ok".
    And once the extension is changed previous file should not be there, it should get deleted from there.

    Can you suggest which property of file adapter can be used to rename and move file?


    Regards,
    Shweta

      Hi Shweta,

      Sorry for the late reply. Actually for your req, you can use MOVE operation of the file adapter as given under.

    Hi Neeraj
    Is there a way to change the ArchiveLocation at runtime.
    There is a JCA property PhysicalArchiveDirectory, but I don't see any Bpelx inputProperty to specify the ArchiveLocation at runtime. Can you please share the same if you are aware of any..
    Thanks

      This is possible only with the same process Neeraj described about moving files in the comments above .I have posted the Oracle doc link below for your reference.

    Is there any way to rename the archive file from filename_timetamp to only filename or filename_YYYYMMDDHH24MiSS or any custom format in 12C version?
