file adapter

[fanglin_ye]

Hello all,

i have a scenario File -> XI/PI -> ERP. My sender channel will select one file in the folder every 60 secs. The file will be archived after the file is processed by XI/PI. My question is, if there are more than one files in the folder, what should i do? Which settings should i use?

regards, Fangin

Hello,

Maybe this blog will help:

http://scn.sap.com/people/mickael.huchet/blog/2006/09/18/xipi-how-to-exclude-files-in-a-sender-file-...

Choose Advanced Selection for Source File and then use FileNameMask. The files will be sent one by one (see solution N*1 in the blog).

Hope this helps,

Mark

Hi Mark,

thx for your reply. Could i set order for the file processing. For example all the files should be processed in a sequence of the file name or created date.

Fanglin

Hello,

Setting the processing order via FileName or by date is only possible if you are using NFS.

Hi,

As suggested by anup you can use "enable duplicate handling" to avoid duplicate file processing.  How third party placing the files in the folder.  Are they placing the files with timestamp extension or different file names.  If they are placing different file name then put file name schema as " * ".  It depends on your requirement.

Thanks,

Satish.

Hi Satisch,

they are placing the files with timestamp extension. If the files are processed by XI/PI, then the files will be archived to an other folder. One more question, how can i use the option "enable duplicate handling"? That means, für each file the working process will be executed one times.

Hi,

If you require all the files placed in the folder to be processed then change the file picking pattern in your adapter channel...

Else if file is duplicate and requires processing of the same then enable duplicate processing option available in file adapter processing  tab..
