File adapter polling stops after reboot of third party system

[Former Member]

Hi,

We noticed that whenever we reboot our third party system, XI File Adapter is losing it's connection to that third party system and polling stops. As a result File Adapter is not processing any files from that particular server.

To fix this problem, we either reboot XI Server or refresh communication channel (Go to change mode and save it).

File adapter is configured to use FTP to transfer the files between Windows Server and Unix Server.

Is there a better way to fix this problem?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Make the connect mode as PER FILE TRANSFER in the file adapter.

<i>Connect Mode

Permanently

An existing connection to the FTP server is used permanently.

The connection is reestablished automatically if it is closed by the server.

Per File Transfer

A new connection to the FTP server is established for each file transfer.</i>
