I want to Pick the Single file from The source Directory

[Former Member]

Hi,

My Scenario is File to RFC .. I'm getting the files in the source Directory.. File names are SENDER_(TIMESTAP).XML .. but the problem is... When ever Files are available in the Source Directory Immediately XI was picking all the files at a time.. But I want to to Pick a single file at a time..

for Making this what we have to do.. After Processing the first file then only my Sender adapter should pick the next file... (even though Multiple files are available in my Source Directory)

Hi,

in this case it should work to increase the polling interval of the File Adapter:

Hi,

there is no direct process for this, but there is an inderct way....

if the sender system is installed in Unix OS, set up a Cron job to file when no file is there in the sender FTP folder.

cron job checks in such a way that if any file is there then it will put the incoming file in other(Archive) folder and soon afterXi pickes up the file... cron job will take the old file from other(Archive) folder and put in sender folder.

As of my understanding, XI will pickup all the messages at a single time. You can try with Java Proxy/Adapter module for this, again it would be a challenging task in both the cases...you can give it a try if u need...

wanna suggest one idea.Suppose you have Folder ONE.use other folder NAME: TWO folder.

Make your XI point to TWO.and from XI using OS commands in Receiver Adapter config call the shell script.

Write a shell script to take Oldest file from ONE and copy in TWO.

Here you can get one file processing and after processing your Receiver adapter will call shell script to put file in TWo..XI takes and send ...and so on..

NOTE: If ONE folder is empty the you cant run the scenarioi untill you manually keep file in TWO..Think and use it.

Hi,

If files are coming in your source directory one by one in intervals than just increase the polling interval or if many files are available at a time in source directory and you want them to execute in order then you can put the Quality Of service as EOIO with queue name.

Hi Evrybody..

Thanks for your Immediate Response..

for Increasing the poll Interval.. I;m getting the Bunch files at a time in my source directory..... so.. If I made the Poll Interval as 18000 Secs also... My Sender File Adapter was picking all the files at a time... but I want to Pick one file... and next file i want to pick after 18000 Secs only..

Hi,

the other option was use Adapter specific attributes in the Sender Communication channel..

or

while droping the files ask them to drop using time stamp in another directory and an external validation is required .. and after validation push single file to Source directory using batch file..

i.e use a batch file using run time operating system or make that batch file to run at OS level ..

where the batch files needs to validate the time interval of the file and needs to push a single file to the source directory.. where from there we can directly pick a single file and process..

Hi,

the other way was try with the BPM's u can make the message to wait and process and at sender side u cannot block or restrict in picking the files..

or else as with the above u need to set the poll interval based on the file frequency..

Hi,

just increase the polling Interval of your File adapter

So that the Adapter will wait untill the next polling time
