OS Commads -- File receiver adapter UnixScript required

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

My scenario is integration between 2 ftps , one sender and receiver communication channel, I am able to pick up the file and sending it to receiver FTP directory.

But I want to copy one specific file from sender FTP to Receiver FTP after successful processing of message. I am looking out to use RunOS commands after message processing option.

File name is Status.xml; need to be copied over to Receiver FTP.

My PI system on UNIX/LINUX OS.

Looking for your valuable inputs.

Regards,

Jam

Hi,

Instead of using OS commands, you can modify the existing interface,

so that this second file after successful message will be posted at target.

Hi ,

This can be handled in UNIX/Linux. The command for your help is "scp" (secure copy).

The Syntax of the command is:

scp [[user@]from-host:]source-file [[user@]to-host:][destination-file]

eg:

scp myuser@10.1.2.2:/home/miguel/source.xml MYUSER@10.1.2.3:/home/miguel/source.xml

This command will prompt for a password. So, you must visit this link to know how to scp without a password.

My suggestion would be to first try if this command works from your shell prompt(with a password).

In your file receiver channel, you have the option of calling/running an OS command on the PI Server after the message is successfully processed by the file reciever channel.

You can include the scp command in a shell script and call this shell script in the file receiver channel with its relative path. Example:

/home/mydir/myscript.sh

Specifically, you can call the above command directly from the File channel.

But, the above command will prompt for a password. Hence, i pointed you to the link above, by which you can call this command without a password. In order to check if this command works fine for you, just test this command on the PI Server on the Shell prompt. So, you will need to have a username/password for both the FTP servers invloved here.

Hi Gaurav,

I tried to execute a JAR file given by client and it generates the encrypted file with alphabet "e" followed by actual file name in the same folder, the commands used in command prompt is  " Java –jar  <<name of the jar file>>.jar  <<full path of the file>> ". Kindly suggest me how to execute automatically and call the same in PI receiver channel.

Thanks,

Nithin.
