Strange behaviour of file sender

[former_member223432]

Hi Experts,

I am workung on a simple file to jdbc interface, which was working fine..

but from last few weeks, sometimes the files are not getting picked up..though the FTP is up and running wiht no errors in CC..

it would get picked up only after i restart the channel..and this happens once/twice a week...and  works fine rest of the time...what could be the reason...i reactivated channel both in ID and in RWB-CC...but it still the same.

just to inform once again, this doesnt happen regularly..

please advise.

Hi,

this is a know bug. You can solve it by setting a timeout (described in note 801926).

Advanced mode:

Parameter: ftp.timeout

Value: integer (seconds), a value of 60 is ok.

Hi,

this will solve your issue

BTW: Wait one millisecond before modification check makes no sense. Put there something 5000. This parameter avoids that file are picked which are not complete written. In result you have like half files picked and this leads of course to later mapping errors.

PS: You should finish your messages with your name or an alias. So we can follow the discussion flow in bigger threads. If i need to write just "Hi " it is more difficult to identify who is directed with my message. If someone else is answering to the thread and it is not directed to me i would see it in mail notification and can ignore it.

Hi Smith,

As we can schedule channels on daily, weekly, monthly and one time basis so that we can schedule an XI Communication Channel on a particular date and at a particular time in a day or in a week or a month or a year by using ATP.

Please check whether you set any ATP(Availability Time Planning enables scheduling) configuration for the communication channel which you used for. If not check the polling interval in your CC.

Hi Sagarika,

There is NO ATP setting done on this channel..and infact the polling intrval is working fine...it just happens randomly...there is no any timestamp as such.

thanks
