File Adapter

The file adapter enables a BPEL process or an Oracle Mediator to exchange (read and write) files on local file systems. The file contents can be in both XML and non-XML data formats.

Note:

When calling the file adapter, Oracle BPEL Process Manager may process the same file twice when run against Oracle Real Application Clusters planned outages. This is because a file adapter is a non-XA compliant adapter. Therefore, when it participates in a global transaction, it may not follow the XA interface specification of processing each file only once.

For more information, see Oracle JCA Adapter for Files/FTP in Understanding Technology Adapters.
