Dear Aamir

My legacy system creates files every day with name PO number<Currentdate>.txt containing all POs and updates the same file

continously. so to read the file i need to place *.txt in sender communication channel and i am planning to move old flles by a OS command

thanks

I don't know how you are going to determine the old files.... but the move command is mv

mv $filename $trgdir

$filename - is a variable for the file to be moved..;

$trgdir is the target directory to be moved...

hey

So the issue is that you don't want to read partial file when legacy system is overwriting it?

You can achieve this by executing a OS command via sender File adapter(before message processing) but this will only work on NFS(not on FTP)

If you are picking file from FTP,then you need to run OS command independent of XI sender channel.
