Archive Files in Receiver FTP server

[Former Member]

HI

I have seven outbound scenarios, all frm Proxy to FTP.

I have to archive files in all seven outbound scenarios.

How do I archive Files in single stack PI on target side?

Hi,

My few cents:

1. Have two interface determinations and two receiver agreements with a new receiver file channel with the Archive Dir path in it.

2. 3rd Party system to run a script / cmd to archive the file from their end.

3. use a command like this in the file adapter : Run Operating System Command After Msg Processing

cp /xxx/yyyy/targetdir/<filenamescheme> /xxx/yyyy/targetdir/archive/<filenamescheme>

Refer:

Hi Radhika,

in ID you have to create another Business Service only for archiving files (like BS_XXX_archive).

Then you have to create 2 receiver agreement (one for each BS), 2 interface determination (one for each BS) and 2 communication channels (one in BS_XXX_archive).

Then in receiver determination in "Configured Receivers" you populate 2 lines, one for each BS,

In configuration overview now you'll see the 2 interfaces.

p.s.= obviously this is not really archiving, but creating 2 identical files.

Radhika,

When file is archived?

When a program process that file. Example: PI File/FTP sender channel archives file after picking it. As you know, there is no archive option in receiver File/FTP channel. It is target system responsibility to archive file, after it process the file content.

If PI has to place file in two directories of target system (it is not archiving, placing file in two directories). Please split message in receiver determination into two messages. Use Dynamic folder to reuse second FTP receiver channel.

Hi Radhika,

The solutions provided to you are obviously innovative but as suggested by Gaurav should be taken into consideration. We should keep things simple so its better to ask the FTP provided to run some script and archive the files at a different location from target directory.

Hello Radhika ,

Please first consult with the FTP Provider. They might be having some archive functionality on their side which might be helpful.

Thanks

HI Rahika,

From my point of view the first point suggested by Azhar Shaikh is the best way to do it.

You have another options:

1. If you have ESR development and don't do FCC on the receiver, do the creation a mapping level via java mapping.

2. If you don't have ESR development or you don't want to change it. Create your own module adapter to send the file to two locations, like Amit Srivastava develops in his blog

Hope this helps.

Regards.
