How to prevent file sender adapter trigger alert when file is not ready

[former_member218719]

Hi Eeveryone,

We have situtation when file sender adapter try to pick up file that is still under writen, a technical alert triggered.

But the file is picked up eventually.

(i can see from message log)

But this is annoying, since our production support team have to look into what causes the alert.

We would like to get rid of this alert.

we have play around adapter Advanced Mode & Msecs to wait before modification, but it seems that we can not get rid of the alert

We are using PO 7.4 single java stack, and using Coponent Based Message Alerting.

Thanks

-Liang

Hi Liang,

You could use availability time planning - the channels will only turn on at a specified time. This approach requires that you drop the files BEFORE the specified time period.

I proposed this to customer and they do not buy this option, since they have their own situation and want to send file as soon as possible after the file is available. Thanks Mark

Hi Liang,

Does a communication channel poll files from NFS or FTP? Did you check limitations of file modification check functionality mentioned in a SAP Note 2188990 (like FTP server not reporting file size or usage of file content conversion in PO)?

Did you also have a look into workaround mentioned in a blog (initial writing to a file that is not polled by PO and subsequent renaming of a completely written file to a name / extension that matches file polling criteria specified in a sender communication channel)?

Hi Vadim

we explored the parameter you metnioned, final and save way to do it have to be renaming.

Previously the ABAP team was not able to find way since this file is generated by SAP standard program, now we are able to rename it after the writing complete.

Thanks
