Use temporary file in FTP receiver adapter

[Former Member]

Hi guys,

I'm not getting the purpose of "use temporary file" in FTP receiver adapter. Can you describe any situation, where this should be used?

What is the location of this temporary file?

Is it deleted after "normal" file is created?

Thanks a lot,

Olian

Some times when you create the file on your target dir then if there is another application looking for same file is quite faster to pick the file before it is complety written on target dir then in this situation using temporary file option is very helpful. What it does, it simply creates the file first by using temporary name once all bytes or bits has been transfered then it creates the original name and the temp file get deleted.

Same location, where your original file is suppose to be written.

Yes.

Hi Olian,

If the file is to be created on the server immediately, select Directly.

If the content is to be gathered in a temporary file first before the final file is put on the server, choose Use Temporary File.

This is generally use so that ur target system does not read the file when u are writing it on the server.
