The following are the steps to view the adapter statistics: 1. Navigate to http:servername:portnumberem. 2. In the SOA folder in the Target Navigation tree in the extreme left pane, click soa_infra. The soa-infra page is displayed.

3. From the SOA Infrastructure menu in the soa-infra page, click Services and

References to use cases for the Oracle File and FTP Adapters are also provided. This chapter includes the following sections: ■ Section 4.1, Introduction to Oracle File and FTP Adapters ■ Section 4.2, Oracle File and FTP Adapters Features ■ Section 4.3, Oracle File and FTP Adapter Concepts ■ Section 4.4, Configuring Oracle File and FTP Adapters ■ Section 4.5, Oracle File and FTP Adapters Use Cases

4.1 Introduction to Oracle File and FTP Adapters

Oracle BPEL PM and Mediator include the Oracle File and FTP Adapters. The Oracle File and FTP Adapters enable a BPEL process or a Mediator to exchange read and write files on local file systems and remote file systems through use of the file transfer protocol FTP. The file contents can be both XML and non-XML data formats. This section includes the following topics: ■ Section 4.1.1, Oracle File and FTP Adapters Architecture ■ Section 4.1.2, Oracle File and FTP Adapters Integration with Oracle BPEL PM ■ Section 4.1.3, Oracle File and FTP Adapters Integration with Mediator

4.1.1 Oracle File and FTP Adapters Architecture

The Oracle File and FTP Adapters are based on JCA 1.5 architecture. JCA provides a standard architecture for integrating heterogeneous enterprise information systems EIS. The JCA Binding Component of the Oracle File and FTP Adapters expose the underlying JCA interactions as services WSDL with JCA binding for Oracle BPEL PM integration. For details about Oracle JCA Adapter architecture, see Chapter 1, Introduction to Oracle JCA Adapters. Note: The term Oracle JCA Adapter for FilesFTP is used for the Oracle File and FTP Adapters, which are separate adapters with very similar functionality. 4-2 Oracle Fusion Middleware Users Guide for Technology Adapters

4.1.2 Oracle File and FTP Adapters Integration with Oracle BPEL PM

The Oracle File and FTP Adapters are automatically integrated with Oracle BPEL PM. When you drag and drop File Adapter for FTP Adapter from the Component Palette of JDeveloper BPEL Designer, the Adapter Configuration Wizard starts with a Welcome page, as shown in Figure 4–1 . Figure 4–1 The Adapter Configuration Wizard - Welcome Page This wizard enables you to select and configure the Oracle File and FTP Adapters. The Adapter Configuration Wizard then prompts you to enter a service name, as shown in Figure 4–2 . Figure 4–2 The Adapter Configuration Wizard - Service Name Page
