Problem with „Empty-File Handling“ in PI 7.11

[Former Member]

Hi,

Iu2019m working in PI 7.11 with file adapter, Sender CC, option: Empty-File Handling: Process Empty Files.

What I want to do is giving target file the system-date, if the source file is empty.

But I always get a mapping error in RTWB: Premature end of file.

It seems that the payload is empty.

Any idea?

Thanks a lot in advance!

when its an empty file your payload will be null

so ideally you can either

1. use a adapter module and handle this

2. use a java mapping that checks the empty payload and take action

Hi Rene,

Could you please share your Adapter Module Code to handle empty file. We are facing the same situation.

Thanks in Advance.

The error you are getting makes sense. You should do a check in the mapping, if the payload is empty then use brute force to pass the system date.
