Is it possible to use File adapter without polling?

[Former Member]

Hello XI experts,

I am planning to construct XI as interface system of R/3.

Our R/3 receive about 1500 kinds of file from many external systems.

I can not know what time these files are arrived a day.

But once they are arrived,the adapter have to receive them immediately.

So I have to create 1500 sender file adapters and set their polling

interval short ,for example, 10 seconds.

Then I was worried about performance because all 1500 adapters execute polling process every 10 secondes. (Even if polling directorys are empty)

To avoid this, I don't want to use polling at receiveing files.

Does anyone know if I can executed file receivieng process from job or batch scripts without polling process.

Any infomaton is appreciated.

Regards,

Tomoatsu

Hi,

Like pointed out , you need File adapters work on the basis of polling.

From Sp19 onwards though File adapter shceduling would be ( should be ) avaialble. the release of which is expected Novemeber 3 rd week.

meanwhile, explore the option of cutting down the number of file adapters and using Content based routing etc.

Hi,

the best would be if you can do content based routing at the receiver determination. this will reduce the number of file polling.

Hi,

To my knowledge NO. File adapter can work only by polling.

What is that 1500 kind of files? You can try grouping similla kinds and make it work in single sender communication by changing the mapping. You can also give wild characters in file name to read the files.
