Picking up files from multiple directories

[Former Member]

Hi All

We have scenario where each sore has its one folder with all the files in the folder, now there is about 200 stores so and about 30 interfaces that picks up files from those directories. It's gonna take some time to add al the directories to all 30 interfaces. Is there an easier way to do this?

Suppose you have one File Server installed (say SAP).....it has only two sub-folders (say XI and PI)....now you want to pick files from both the sub-folders....so you can try SAP/* ........

Please open your File Server location and any sub-folder within it and check if it is / or \ .....and then use the slash (/ or \) accordingly ......if you have IP and no name then give the IP.....rest logic remains the same....

Hi Stephan,

plz have a look to my blog [SOA Principles for Integration of Mass Systems|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/13797] [original link is broken] [original link is broken] [original link is broken]; what describes a similar challenge, especially how to reduce a too large number of IB Directory objects.

if the file server is the same then you can have Directory field configured as ServerName/* .... this will check for all the folders/ locations in the server specified.....

If the servers are different then you need to have different channels.

Abhishek.
