i've read MS's documentation on how to create a receive location using an
FTP adapter. Problem is, I don't know how to use it in an orchestration. Is
there a tutorial or walkthrough somewhere? I 've googled for a couple of
hours wiht no luck, no info in Woodgate' book either.

thanks

lh,
When you use the ftp adapter you will need to create a receive port and
receive location to get the file into the messaging. Once you have the file
downloaded/parsed and in messaging you can use an orchestration. Messaging
supplies the hooks into orchestration.

You should at least complete module 1 in the tutorials to get the basics.
You can download them here http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=26435

Thanks for the response Micheal.
My question was a lil unclear. Im familiar with many of the basics of
orchestrations and files. I'm really having problems with retrieving files
using the ftp adapter. How do i instruct an ftp adapter to get a file on an
ftp server. Is there no documentation on how do this?

thanks

Once u enable the receive location, the files on the specified ftp server are
pulled using the credentials provided( You provide all the ftp server details
in the receive location "address")
Once file received, the msg is posted to the msgbox db. if you have a orch
running and subscribing to that specific message, the orch will process this
message.
as i understand u have flat fle on the server, u ll need a pipeline to
convert the flat file to xml and then process by the orch.
orch can perform any processing on the message only if it is xml
Hope this helps
