Hi Shaik,

Your question is very basic and generic. In general, you can use for instance the file name mask to pick up only the right files - use SAP Help for sender file adapter as a reference, and get back to us if you had detailed questions:

Additionally you can make use of the Advanced Selection option in sender channel.

SAP Help says below.

Advanced Selection for Source File 

If you want to set an exclusion mask for theFile Name specified above, or if you want to specify multiple directories using a file name mask and exclusion mask, set the Advanced Selection for Source File indicator.

• Specify an Exclusion Mask for the file name specified above.

You want to process all files that have the extension '.txt', but want to exclude all files that begin with the letter 'a'. To do this, enter *.txt for File Name, and a* for Exclusion Mask.

• You can enter additional specifications for source directories, file name screens, and exclusion screens in the table. These entries are processed in addition to the information specified above.
