Summary

This template generates a JSON data file from an Oracle database SELECT statement. Using this template, you can create a JSON file by fetching data from an Oracle database Server, and then transform it into JSON file which will be saved on SFTP server.

Prerequisites

This template assumes that the following prerequisites are in place:

• The Oracle database user has permissions to read data from the tables specified in the query.
• The SFTP server user should have the permissions to connect and write the files that Frends needs to upload.

Implementation and Usage Notes

This template creates a new JSON file based on the data from the SQL query. The variable SelectionCriteria provides the possibility to add conditions to the SELECT statement. In case of already existing file in the SFTP server path, old file will be overwritten.

Error Handling

This template does not handle transient errors separately, however the connection to the SFTP server and Oracle database are retried three time before failing.

The template does not handle any SQL errors that may occur - the errors will be thrown as exceptions.
