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:

    1. Create a scheduled orchestrated integration. Do not create a Map Data integration.

    2. Configure the FTP Adapter with the List File operation.

    3. Create a for-each action.

    4. Configure the FTP Adapter with the Read File Operation inside the for-each action to read a file.

    5. 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.
