Poll interval for sender file adapter.

[vidyadhar2k2]

I have a 1_sender file NFS file adapter which picks a trigger file from X location in PI application server, this trigger file initiates the unix script present in the sender file adapter.

Unix script brings all the file which starts with 25588* from bank FTP and places in Y location in PI application server then script deletes the "trigger file".

another NFS File adapter 1_receiver file adapter places the trigger file in the X location of PI.

for 1_sender file poll interval given as 86400, that means it should trigger only once a day @ 1:30pm.

But today same sender file adapter had triggered 4 times, could any one let me know the reason why it had triggered 4 times instead of single time.

By any chance was there a restart of the java engine or file adapter? This could lead to multiple polling. Planning availability time is better option as suggested earlier.

Hi,

If you want your channel to run at 1:30 PM its always recommended that you use the ATP (Availability Time Planning) feature. You can set this in RWB.

Vidya,

There are two things :-

1. The polling interval should be 24 hrs;

2. The polling interval should be 24 hrs and it should poll at 1:30 pm every day.

For any reason if the channel is re-started, then with your present configuration, you will never be able to achieve # 2.

So, better use ATP.

But today same sender file adapter had triggered 4 times, could any one let me know the reason why it had triggered 4 times instead of single time.

Might be the connection dropped / failed at the time of polling and the channel re-tried. If you give more details (what time and with how much interval it triggered), someone might be able to help.

I will say in place of putting polling interval as 82000 sec, do use the Adapter availability time planning.

That will make sure that your channel is running just once in a day and at time selected by you.

Please check if someone has manually started that channel, then in your case it might hv started more than one time.

Thanks,
