Tiff File Adapter?
|
|
| Vincent 2004-08-05, 5:49 pm |
| Currently we have a client that has some Tiff file images stored somewhere on
there network filesystem. They'd like to have BizTalk bring these Tiff files
into BizTalk and process them to be inserted into a BLOB field on a
destination SQL Server 2000 Database.
Does anyone know if there is an adapter for reading in Tiff files or will we
have to create a custom adapter? We're looking for a speedy solution to this
issue and may not have the time to go the route of creating a custom adapter.
Thanks in advance.

It seems that these TIFF files are located somewhere on a file share. As a result, you can pick them up using the file adapater.
The SQL adapter allows you to insert data into tables. So you have all the pieces you need for input/output.
You do not describe the processing that needs to happen on these files. Assuming that you have code to do this, this should be fine.

An adatper is useful to pick up documents using a specific protocol. It seems that your fuiles are stored on a file share.
The FILE adapter, shipping out of the box with BizTalk 2004 should allow you to get these files.
We could help you further if we had more details about the processing.
Thanks.

Just make sure you copy them into a file drop folder for BizTalk, otherwise
the file adapter will delete them all ;-)
