Hi Ganges,

<i>How can i control a file adapter. I want file adapter start picking the files, only if it sees a empty control file.</i>

Is it mean, the file size is zero.. If so , there will not be any message in XI..

I think, are you looking for a Scheduler for File Adapter ? As of now, there is no direct mechanism to achieve that.. But there are External Schedulers available in the Market.. For e.g RedWood etc...

Hope this helps,

Moorthy,

Any other ways apart from schuduling?

We did the similar thing using Module Programming. Basically in the module EJB we implemented logic to rename the file (by which the File adapter was configured) once we use to get empty trigger file.

Hope that will work for u too.
