XI Picking up an incomplete file

[Former Member]

We have a scenario that an application writes out a file where XI is configured to poll for it. XI will pick up and move to a local file system. Sometime XI picks up a file while the other external process/application is actually writing out the file.

To verify our theory of behavior is wrote a custom java application that slowly streams out small bits of data to a file location that XI is polling for. The behavior of XI is consistent. XI does not does not seem to account for any type of file handler or anything like that.

Are we missing some configuration step in the File Adapter module.

Simple scenerio

Custom Java Application (file output) --- > XI --> local file system

Thank you for your time and responses

We solved it for File Adapter using NFS with the "Msces to Wait Before Modification Check" and the retry Interval. There seems to still be an issue with the File Adapter using FTP. We could not solve that with these parameters.

Renjith, Thank You for your answer. They would have helped for sure and points were awarded

We have tested with and without the "Process Read-Only File" flag checked. XI's behavior is the same.

Pls check the note...821267 and see the section 3. File Locking...

you might want to try useing the "Msecs to Wait Before Modification Check" parameter in the advanced setting...

Pls check and verify that you donot have the "Process Read-Only Files" flag check on in the Sender file communication channel...

Thanks,
