File Sender Adapter - Multiple Source Directory

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I have the following file to IDoc Scenaraio:

The source file might be in any of 3 directories in source system and so created file sender adapter as follows:

File access parameters:

Source Directory : Directory1

File Name : Filename*.XML

Addiontal Directory:

Directory2 Filename*.XML

Directory3 Filename*.XML

The porblem we are facing is the file adapter is picking the file from Directory1& 2 and not from Directory3.

If the change Directory Order in adapter as follows:

File access parameters:

Source Directory : Directory3

File Name : Filename*.XML

Addiontal Directory:

Directory2 Filename*.XML

Directory1 Filename*.XML

... then file from Directory 2 & 3 is getting processed and not from Directory1.

Any thoughts on this will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Thanks for all your replies.

Actually, there was a cache issue, once we refreshed, the issue is resolved.

As most of you mentioned BPM is not required for this scenario.

Thanks

Source Directory: List your first directory

Check Advanced Selection for Source File box , give rest of directories here.

Why use BPM for this?

Instead write an abap program to pick from any of 3 directories in source directory and place it in the shared XI folder and configure your file adapter pointing to XI shared folder...shecdule the abap report for every 5 min..

Wanna know more /people/sravya.talanki2/blog/2005/08/23/sender-xi-ftp-adapter-with-regular-path-expression-150-abap

Or write OS level scripts for doing same.

In my test (SPS 16) it works.

Maybe you apply the latest patch, if you are beyond SPS 16.
