Hi SDN,

Can you please tell me the diffrence between File Adapter Connect Mode as: Permanently and Per File Transfer and what problem we may face when we give the mode as Permanently?

Hi,

Permanently:

FTP Adapter will establish single connection when you activate the communication channel and it will use that single connection for every time while picking the files from sender file directory or posting the file to receiver directory. When ever that existing single connection will close because of network problem then it will establish another connection automatically. Even there is no files to be process, always channel will contains at least one connection to file directory.

Per File Transfer:

It will establish new connection for every file while picking the file from sender directory or posting the file to receiver directory. that means if sender file communication channel wants to pick 10 files, channel will create one connection then it will pick that 1st file then it will close the connection. After that it will pick the next file again it will close that connection..... like this it will proceed until 10 files.

Thanks,

Hi,

Simply put, the Permanently connection mode maintains a connection to the FTP server permanantly.The connection loss due to network failure will be reestablished automatically.

The Per File Transfer will have a single connection for every file to be transfered.

Depending upon the scenario we need to use either of them.

Always try to avoid Permanently mode... because it will keep polling the adapter for the file... which will increase the overhead of processing the files.

Thanks & Regards,

Babu

I don't think there is any "problem" as such in using permanent mode of connection.
