CData Arc

Hello,I just recently migrated my Arc instance to a new server.  I had been running v2023 with the old UI and I’m trying to figure out how I can ‘move’ my EDI connections (which are currently spread out across multiple workspaces) to the new Trading Partner Console.  Any help is appreciated.Thanks!

A common challenge that can be encountered in mapping projects occurs when a data source contains element that can be grouped into multiple transactions, but the format of the data is in a flatten data model. A simple example of this can be seen in many CSV files: OrderNumber Customer Date Item Qty 12345 James Blasingame 3/17/23 Corned Beef 1 12345 James Blasingame 3/17/23 Colcannon 1 12346 Teddy Blasingame 3/17/23 Peanut Butter 1 12346 Teddy Blasingame 3/17/23 Apples 2   With the human eye, it is easy to tell that this table represents two separate transactions, each of which contains 2 line items (Or

How can I get this Sql Server dbQuery to work? The INSERT is completing fine, but I need to get the inserted identity PK and Arc is not picking it up.<arc:set attr="db.query"> insert into table (...) values (...); select SCOPE_IDENTITY();</arc:set><arc:call op="dbQuery" in="db" out="results"> ...Is there a better way to get the identity? (I have to use ArcScript, the upsert connector is not an option)

In the input there is a value “<N201>Germany GmbH & Co. KG</N201>”. After it is mapped it is “<Address>Germany GmbH & Co. KG Hahnstraße 70</Address>”. How can I set it up that special characters are still escaped after the mapping. Because now the next Json connector is failing because of the & character.

OverviewSometimes APIs return data to the connecting client in a page based format. This can happen when the requested dataset to be returned is too large for the API to return in one response, or it could be the way that the API administrator has built the API to return responses.For example, if an API request is sent to GET the total number of items in an order, and the total number of items is 500, the API might return the results in a series of 10 pages where there are 50 items per page. The client requesting the information would then have to issue 10 separate API calls to get each page. This behavior is often coined “pagination”.The REST Connector and the FlowPagination isn’t something that is natively supported within the REST connector however, it is typically possible for Arc users to develop a solution to accomplish this by use of some custom script within a script connector and the utilization of custom headers to hold the page numbers (or

How do I delete unused template files?

Let me explain the overall flow i am trying to achieve. The flow is exposed as rest service to client. Client will call the rest service to send a file to a specific location. Client will trigger the flow, there is a requirement where i need to call a rest service inside the flow . Client is passing the required data in headers and the same header values i need to set while calling the rest service. I tried adding rest connector but body is disabled. I am not able to send custom request body to a service through rest connector. can you please guide me how to do it.

Dear Support ArcESB,We are using Arc 2023 Professional on Windows Server 2022 Standard. Our customer exchanges data with us via AS2.The customer has recently migrated their AS2 system to a new platform which uses HTTP Authentication requiring a username and password. The username length is 78 characters, and the password length is 81 characters, as shown in the attached image.Could you please verify if your program supports usernames and passwords of this length? We would appreciate your confirmation and any recommendations you may have.Thank you for your assistance.Best regards,Parinya  P.

Is it possible to create my own Operations that I can call via <arc:call>? Or simple reusable methods/functions using <arc:include> perhaps that can return data? Or?

I have a trading partner who’s sending EDI with a file extension (.xml) and a Content-Type: text/plain and they’re also sending EPCIS xml files which are also of Content-Type: text/plain.  I need to determine which files are legit xml/edi and route them accordingly.I use a script on my EDI files to add additional headers, but I don’t think this will work on the xml EPCIS files because they are not EDI.<!-- code I use to add additional headers to edi files --><arc:set attr="edi.File" value="[FilePath]" /><arc:call op="x12Scan" in="edi" out="edi"> <arc:enum item="edi"> <arc:set attr="output.header:[_attr]" value="[_value]" /> </arc:enum></arc:call><arc:set attr="output.filepath" value="[filepath]" /><arc:push item="output" />Since the EPCIS files are true xml, I feel like this will bomb on the op=”x12Scan”.  A

I am trying to use httpGet to retrieve binary files, then push them through via a Script connector: <arc:set item="httpGetInput" attr="url" value="[params.pdfUrl]" /><arc:call op="httpGet" in="httpGetInput" out="response"> <arc:set attr="output.data" value="[response.http:content]" /> <arc:set attr="output.filename" value="test.pdf" /> <arc:push item="output" /></arc:call>It downloads the file, and sends it through, however the file is garbled, I assuming this is a encoding problem somewhere.Downloading the files directly from the source URL, the files render fine.Said connector is inside an API Request, with Response content type set to “application/pdf”:There must be something I am missing.

I am new to arcESB and we have a basic requirement where we need to call a rest service, get the data in json format and same data i need to use to later while using smtp connector (filename need to be modified). I am unable to map the data, i tried using arcScript in event section of rest connector but it seems to be not working. Any suggestion will be really appreciated. thanks in advance. 

We are trying the map multiple fields in a XML (EDI) into one field in another XML in a XML Map connector. We use the implode formatter for this. But it isn’t working, we only get the first item. But we want all the NTE02 fields joined with a newline as separator. This is the script we use:[xpath("FunctionalGroup/TransactionSet/TX-00401-940/NTE/NTE02") | implode] Source XML:<FunctionalGroup>            <TransactionSet>        <TX-00401-940 type="TransactionSet">            <NTE type="Segment">                <!--Note                Reference Code-->                <NTE01><!--Warehouse                    Instruction-->WHI</NTE01>                <!--Description-->                <NTE02>PALLETS COVERED WITH STRETCH HOOD</NTE02>            </NTE>            <!--Note/Special            Inst

Is there a better way to check for null results from a dbQuery, I feel dirty for coming up with this: <arc:set attr="db.query">select null as something;</arc:set><arc:call op="dbQuery" in="db" out="results"> <arc:if exp="'[results.*]' == '<table></table>'"> <!-- handle null --> </arc:if> ...</arc:call> 

This works with a REST connector just fine: However with a SOAP connector it does not (fails with  _message specified in the formatter, does not exist): Both connectors do have the correct header payload. Both have Allow Script in Url checked. Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

I’m trying to deploy an SSIS package to my server, and receiving the error “file:FileService SFTP Client Error during operation 'DOWNLOAD': The specified directory could not be created” server side.This runs without any issues from my developer. The service account has access to the folder (I also tried running the package with my AD account and got the same error). I’m kind of running out of ideas where to look. Does anyone else have ideas where to look?

Error:Hi everyone, New to the community, within our team we are responsible for a ARC server (CData Arc™ 2024 - 24.3.9159.0) and I am running into the following issue: “Connection open failed: [500] Unable to connect to databasename.database.windows.net:1433: System error: No such host is known” (Azure SQL)Strange thing is that it works normally, but just sometimes it doesn't. This connector has almost 6000 entries in the last 5 days, only 8 have this error.These 8 are 4 Messages, with a retry of 60 minutes and a retry count of 1. Making that these 4 messages were tried 2 times in total. Last time 1,5 hour prior to this post. Trying manual send and boom all messages processed.SQL Database show no health warning and I can't find any metric that would indicate a problem with the database. Connector type is a script.

OAuth 2.0 Overview In today’s standards, OAuth 2.0 is becoming increasingly popular as a means to authorize users who are attempting to access a resource, be it a mail server, API endpoint or database. A common example of this shift is the deprecation of basic authentication in Exchange Online (Microsoft’s mail server for Outlook), which can be read about in more detail in Microsoft’s article, here.OAuth 2.0 is an authorization protocol and not an authentication protocol; a means of granting users access to a set of resources - in the case of what is discussed here, that resource would be a mail server.At a very high level, OAuth 2.0 can be summarized in the following steps: The connecting client acquires both a client ID and a client secre
