Hi,

do any one, tried using the Websphere FTP

Specifing the adapter commands by using a command string on the command line with the adapter alias.

For the normal ftp adapter, to override the execution command we use as
-OAaliascard_num

is there anything available for the Websphere FTP.

Thanks.

Although not explicilty listed in the documentation, have you tried -OAWFTP1 'commands' ?

The adapters.xml file lists this adapter alias as "FTP Resource Alias", but this can be changed to WFTP, to make the above tip work.

Paul: should IBM be fixing this as we'd like the standard adapters to have common aliases. Can we raise a PMR?

Yes, I agree that this should be both standardised and in line with other adapters (have no spaces).

Please raise a PMR.

I tried with the options and when I try to run from a command line , it fails with the error as "Target not available" and below is the extract from the trace and the command used.

Can you check the use of com.ibm.j2ca.ftp.record.FTPOutputStreamRecord ? Are you writing or reading a file?
you may want to revisit the option -is:maxRecords 100

Anyway, if I'm getting your question correctly and your questioning the alias's of any adapter, the documentation for each adapter shows the alias for it.

Look at the attached pic; the documentation for any adapter has a chapter 3.

I guess I don't understand the question and was hoping someone could clarify...

Is there a "Websphere FTP" aside from the normal FTP adapter (-OAFTP1)??

Paul: Thanks. PMR on the way!
repanzer: Yes, the FTP adapter is deprecated and we have a new Websphere FTP adapter in TX 8.2
