Question Scott Beeson · Jan 14, 2016

I have a service named FTP_In that is of class EnsLib.HL7.Service.FTPService.   It picks up files from multiple subfolders and sends them to an EnsLib.HL7.MsgRouter.RoutingEngine.   What I want to do is somehow capture the subfolder as a variable for use in the routing rules.  Is this possible?

Let's say I have the following files and directory structure on my FTP Server

/incoming/green/apple.dat
/incoming/yellow/banana.dat

I want the Routing Rule to be able to send anything that came from the /green/ folder to one operation and from /yellow/ to another.

Question David Underhill · Jul 28, 2020

We use the %Net.FtpSession class to perform FTPS file transfers.  This has worked fine with Implcit FTPS servers but crashes when trying to connect to an Explicit FTPS server.  Explicit FTPS has a slightly diffferent negotiation in the intitial connection and different ports.

Has anyone gotten Explicit FTPS working with the Cache classes?

Hello,

I'm trying to upload file to SFTP server.  

I have access to SFTP server . 
My code is bellow 

Try {
Set sftp = ##class(%Net.SSH.Session).%New()

Set sc = sftp.AuthenticateWithUsername(username,password)
if 'sftp.Connect(host){
            Set status = $$$ERROR($$$GeneralError,"Cannot connect to sftp  ")
            Quit       
}
Set sc = sftp.OpenSFTP(.t)

If 'sftp.Disconnect() Write "Failed to logout",!

}Catch ex {

Hello community,

I am receiving a HL7 message over TCP connection.

I have to set up  a process/operation to produce a daily file with this HL7 messages to be created in a directory using EnsLib.File.OutboundAdapter
and EnsLib.HL7.Operation.FileOperation. The file needs to have a header line added each time it is created and a footer .I did not find any standard class file under File Adapter which will create header/footer. 

Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Jimmy Christian

Question David Underhill · May 12, 2020

I have been using %Net.FtpSession and while it works, its handling of file/directory listings from an FTP server is less than ideal and, while this is due to the FTP protocol itself, the class could be written to handle this as would an FTP client such as FileZilla and command line/class FTP handlers for other languages.  I was wondering if anyone knows how the Ensemble adaptor works with this in case it provides code that would help, though the source does not seem to be available.  Below are the issues I see in FTP, some are based on past experience writing our own FTP handler in the past,

Question Roger Merchberger · Jan 10, 2020

TL;DR: If I set an Ensemble  Production Service based on EnsLib.File.PassthroughService to a Binary charset encoding, it breaks the file handling. Any ideas?

Full long post:

All,

I set up an Ensemble production to transfer files via SFTP, which works fine sending the files to my Linux server. Then I was informed that we needed to save a hash of the file, for comparison with the destination to verify the file arrived unmodified. I looked at the base64 encoded hash on my linux server:

G7QWAP6FcLInFWP8ECRL/EI2NfKdaf6TtrpwYuvSOEc=

and I created a class to extend the StreamContainer to add a hash value:

Question David Losiewicz · Oct 3, 2019

I am using Ensemble FTP adapter to monitor file directory for files that require SFTP transfer to remote server using public/private keys for remote server authentication.

This works great in my engineering development space where file protections are loose.

I want to apply "principle of least privilege" regarding the public and private key files specified in  FTP Outbound adapter Business Operation. 

Can anyone recommend (Linux) permissions that allow Ensemble to execute the SFTP operation but minimizing access to the key files?

I've tried variouse combinations without success.

Ensemble production Settings are configurable values that control the behavior of a production and its hosts.

Hello everyone,

We have a process that is listening to an FTP service to collect some CSV files and process them. The process works correctly and when it ends it clears the directory waiting for it to enter some other file.

We have been receiving the following error message for a long time:

ERROR <Ens>ErrGeneral: Error in SFTP Dir() ERROR #7500: Error DirEnum SSH '-2146430967': 'SSH Error [80101009]: Would block waiting for status message [80101009] at SFTP.cpp:150,0

This happens when there are no files to process and appears from time to time, maybe every 20 minutes.

Thanks for all replies in advance.  We have a security vulnerability that we have to get rid of.  We use Putty software to connect to cache as a terminal allowing several users to do maintenance work in cache.  this uses telnet Plain text.  I know that we can configure telnet to be encrypted using the super server service and I'm looking for software that can work like Putty as a terminal using encryption compatible with cache telnet encryption.   If I have cache installed on my PC and setup a connection to the server using Kerberos with encryption and use the terminal option to connect to the

Question Herb Salgado · Sep 13, 2018

Hello,

I am trying to send a HL7 Billing Batch 2.3:FHS file out to an FTP site:

The file needs to be  in Variable Length / Carriage return carriage control format--  

 When I send the file, the format is Fixed Length 512 Byte Record-- Not Working

The data is ok within the file-- It is just the way I am sending it out of Ensemble that is not correct.

I am thinking that it is a setting within the Operation that I am missing or not choosing correctly.

Charset-AsciiCR

Separators -|^~\&\r

Default Char Encoding: Binary

I appreciate the help,

Herb

Question Kurro Lopez · Aug 29, 2018

Hi community,

I've created a BS that uses FTP InboundAdapter. It works, read the file and process it.

The problem is when there not any file in the FTP folder, it raises the following error:

 ERROR <Ens>ErrFTPListFailed: FTP: error en List para *.csv (mensaje='No-transfer-time exceeded. Closing control connection.',código=421)

I think it is something about the configuration, but I don't find what is the problem.

Any idea?

Best regards,

Looking for some suggestion on what the

Question Scott Roth · Jun 9, 2017

I have a case where I am creating a PDF file from an Encoded String, and I need to transfer this file over to another server. I was wondering since this is PDF file if I could just invoke the FTP.OutboundAdapter within my Object script that is creating the PDF from the encoded string. Is this possible? Does anyone have an examples of using EnsLib.FTP.OutboundAdpater within their Object Script?

Thanks
