I understand that the poll interval determinds the

"Number of seconds that the adapter must wait if no files are found for processing."

if I configure it to thae value of '0', what does that mean for XI AE?

I found no documentation regarding it.

Your insights\refrences will be most appriciated.

hi,

XI will break down

but the real question is why do you need = 0 ?

if you want to set it in continuous mode then:

"If you set Poll Interval (secs) to null, processing times will be short and close to real time"

from help.sap.com

so why do you need this 0 ?

Well Michal...

the value was configured by mistake to 0 during DEV (and maybe even worked)and was passed to QA.

XI behaviour was like : Ok...I'm the adapter...everything is cool and green.

Ok..I'm the file...no one picks me up...

So I was looking for the logic behind this behaviour...cause to me it made no sence.

Hi,

maybe it works the same as if you put null to seconds and miliseconds

- it only pools once and then stops ?

>the value was configured by mistake to 0 during DEV (and maybe even worked)and was passed to QA.

something is wrong here - you don't transport communication channel details

from DEV to QA - you have to fill them each time

the value exists in DEV env. and my guess that at some point even worked.

offcourse wasnt trasfered auto. between env.

regarding behaviour the null value behaves as :

"If you set Poll Interval (secs) to null, processing times will be short and close to real time."

not my case.....

I guess that when the poll interval would be 0, XI would pick the file almost as soon as it is placed on the file system. If you have many files on the file system, then it could pick the file quickly and may overload XI server.

This is what I expected when in fact XI ignored the files in the folder again and again.

only after stop and start for the adapter the file was picked.

I remember I read somewhere that, XI adapter does not poll at all for value 0. I do not right now have any link to the place but I surely remember. Now the question is how did your DEV work..with 0!!

Hi Nimrod,

Check if in your file adapter the Poll Interval in sec and Poll Interval in MSec both are kept to 0, If this is the case then the file will be picked only once

Check in SAP Help

If you set Poll Interval (secs) and Poll Interval (msecs) to null, the adapter is only called once.
