Common Message Exchange Patterns
You can use the FTP Adapter in a variety of message exchange patterns, including the following:
-
Triggered by the SOAP Adapter, the REST Adapter, or a schedule in an integration.
-
Polling an FTP directory:
-
Create a scheduled orchestrated integration. Do not create a Map Data integration.
-
Configure the FTP Adapter with the List File operation.
-
Create a for-each action.
-
Configure the FTP Adapter with the Read File Operation inside the for-each action to read a file.
-
Map the file name and directory header from the for-each action loop.
-
-
Downloading a file from an embedded SFTP server with Oracle Managed File Transfer / Oracle Managed File Transfer Cloud Service:
-
A file is placed in an embedded SFTP server.
-
Oracle Managed File Transfer sends a multipart SOAP notification to Oracle Integration.
-
Oracle Integration receives the SOAP message and extracts the file name.
-
The FTP Adapter is invoked and sets the file name.
-
The file is downloaded to Oracle Integration.
