Documentation on 12.1 custom action SDK

[former_member205719]

Is there any way around to support ASCII mode for FTP action in MII as it support only Binary mode by default?

If yes please let me know how to do that if Not then

I like to develop custom action in MII 12.1.5 for FTP action as the standard ones do not support transfer in ASCII mode and always transfer in binary. I can't find any documentation so far on 12.1 custom actions SDK anywhere in the internet. But the SDK has been changed considerably from 12.0. To start with the ActionReflectionBase class itself is not present anymore extending which we used to create the custom action class in 12.0. Any pointers on Custom Action SDK documentation in MII 12.1 will be highly appreciated.

Thanks.

As far as I know, FTP transfer mode is Binary by default and no option to change to ASCII, since there is no encoding parameter in the FTP action block. Binary mode should easily send any text file and all FTP clients support Binary transmission.

Hi Jessica,

Thanks for the answer.

Any simple text file gets transferred properly but...for me,

it was really a bit different problem, when you have line break character or any Unicode character in the text file then this binary mode does NOT work properly.

I am also looking for some documentation on developing custom action in 12.1. Unfortunately the link you gave points to 12.2 documentation

Hi Pahlad

ASCII mode of transfer for FTP Actions is supported on MII 12.1 and MII 12.2. I am not sure which SP of 12.1 this went in but it was not in one of the early SPs. You can try upgrading to latest 12.1 SP or MII 12.2 to get this feature.
