FTP'ing an EDI file.

, ,
1

Hi there,

I got a problem FTP’ing a file. i am not sure how to use FTP. Actually i am sending an edi document to trading networks using FTP. In the service in i am not sure dirpath, localfile and remotefile.

I initialized the filed values as:

dirpath: cd \ns\wm\tn\receive.
localfile - x12_810 ( this is the name of the field that holds my edi data in the pipeline )
remotefile - x12_810.

Hope the way i have initialized localfile and remotefile are correct.

I got the following error after executing the service:

" The service failed with the following meesage: 550 ‘cd \ns\wm\tn\receive’: No such file or directory. "

could someone please tell me what went wrong with dirpath and whether i have intialized localfile and remotefile correctly.

Thanks in advance,
Veera.

Are you trying to send the file to another IS instance?

If so, drop the “cd” part of the dirpath string. Just specify the path to the service. Use localfile only if the data is in a file on the local IS disk. If it is just a string variable in the pipeline, use the content input instead.

If you’re not sending the document to another IS/TN instance and you’re just trying to submit the document to TN, just call the receive service.

Hi Rob,

Thank you so much for the detailed information.

but, i am still getting an error. could you please have a look at the following HTML view of the service and could you please let me know what’s going wrong with the inputs. the following case was just sending the document to my TN instance and i have the input data in the variable “edidata”.

the error was:

" com.wm.lang.flow.FlowException: The service failed with the following meesage: 550 ‘wm.tn:receive’: No such file or directory."

Use /ns/wm/tn/receive as the dir path. Don’t put “cd” in front of that and don’t use the IS service name syntax.
