Error in listing files in the remote directory. Unable to list file in remote directory. ; nested exception is: BINDING.JCA-11430

Many times when you are working with mft transfers  might see below mentioned error :


operation 'FileListing' failed due to: Error in listing files in the remote directory. Error in listing files in the remote directory. Unable to list file in remote directory. ; nested exception is: BINDING.JCA-11430 Error in listing files in the remote directory. Error in listing files in the remote directory. Unable to list file in remote directory. Please make sure that the ftp server settings are correct. ]





Resolution to this problem is very simple.It occurs when your sftp remote path is incorrect in mft,it might happen you  have added extra '/' or need to remove some '/' .Best is to touch base with your target partner functional/technical team and understand how is their file system.


For mine i was putting like : /x/y/z and was throwing above error.

But it works like this : x/y/z.


Hope it helps.

Oracle 12c New Features

Oracle has released SOA Suite 12c and lots of new features are introduced in this release. Below is list of some of the new features.

Single Installer: Oracle Suite 12c comes as single installer for developers that means you only need to install only one setup (SOA Suite 12c), DB/Weblogic/SOA will get installed, you need to install it separately. Oracle SOA 12c use Java Derby database, which is file based and that makes it really fast.


Single IDE: In Oracle SOA 12c Jdeveloper is used as IDE for all designs. For OSB development we need not to use different IDE (Eclipse) anymore, we can develop OSB application in Jdeveloper itself.

Debugger: This is new feature in Oracle SOA 12c, debugger is introduced to debug SOA and OSB applications. With the help of debugger we can debug our code before deploying it; this saves lot of development efforts. We can also change message text while debugging it.

Graphical MDS: In Oracle SOA 12c graphical tool is provided to publish, search and consume filed from MDS and OER.

SOA Templates: With the introduction of templates sharing of code between teams become earlier and development efforts reduced. There are three types of templates introduced.
  • Project Template
  • Component Template
  • Custom Activity Template

BPEL Sub-process: Sub-process is introduced in this launch which helps to reduce redundancy. Suppose we need to update database table 3 times in one flow so instead of add 3 different invoke to same BPEL, create sub-process which update the database table and use that sub-process 3 times in that BPEL. There are two types of sub-processes.
  • Standalone sub-process
  • Inline sub-process

Re-sequencing in OSB: In 11g this feature was available in Mediator, in Oracle SOA 12c this features added to service bus also, with the help of this feature we able to process the request message in proper sequence.


Adapter: Coherence, LDAP and cloud adapter are introduced in this release.


Xquery Mapper: In this release Xquery mapper is introduced which provide XQuery support.

Enterprise Service Scheduler: ESS is out of box scheduler. By using this we can schedule the services.

Translate Activity Translate activity is also introduced which is used for Native to XML and XML to Native transformation.

MDS support for OSB: In 11g version MDS support was not there for OSB but in 12c MDS support is provided for OSB.
