Moving files with XI ?

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have the following request from my client: How to move huges instructed file from directories.

My client is receiving files from a third party. They contain pictures (among others). We need to:

1) virus scan the file

2) Unzipp the files

3) Take each individual files

4) And moving it to (without reading the content) a specific directory for further processing.

I presume that the FF adapter need to use !?!?

Beside writing a shell script … What is the best solution (using XI) ?

Thanks !

Michel,

Here there are two things:

i) Move the file directly

If you want to move the file directly without doing anything whatever you get then move it follow this weblog:

/people/william.li/blog/2006/09/08/how-to-send-any-data-even-binary-through-xi-without-using-the-integration-repository

ii) if you want to scan, unzip, take each file then:

for scanning: Write a shell script for scanning the file and dropping it in a different location

for unzipping: You have to write a shell script or the Operating system command to unzip the file. Also check this weblog for some help on this:

/people/stefan.grube/blog/2007/02/20/working-with-the-payloadzipbean-module-of-the-xi-adapter-framework

to transfer each file follow the above weblog given in point i.

Hello,

If you just want to move the file to another location and then process and want to use XI for that then follow the link below..

Yea, I read that blog. But honestly, I do not see the point ... Writing code in XI to move file vs. writing the same code outside XI ... There is no (absolute) gain do it in XI.

I guess, my question is: Is it possible to move file around using XI without have to write code (only configuring the adapter) ?

Merci !
