Handling Large File

[Former Member]

Hi all,

We need to handle a large file 88omb .is there any provision at the adapter level to break the file in to smaller chunks.

Can we avoid using the shell scripts ansd OS level commands.

Thanks,

Srinivas

Hi,

you can write a small shell script to break the sender File into multiple chunks,there is no set rule on the size of these small chunks,it depends upon your hardware configuration,and on the receiver side,you can use the append mode to collect all these files again.

If You have multiple files with large size to be processed, Module Bean "PayloadZipBean" can be used in Comm. Channel to reduce the size of the file and successively reduce the load on the XI/PI server.

Hi Srinivas,

if it is a text file then you could break up the file into multiple recordsets,

e.g.,
