The files are processed according to the selected Processing Mode.

For example, if the processing mode is Delete, empty files are deleted in the source directory.

○ Process Empty Files

XI messages are created with an empty main payload.

The files are processed according to the selected Processing Mode.

No XI messages are created from empty files.

Empty files are skipped and remain in the source directory.+

hi,

it's available since Sp19 for XI 3.0

and the corresponding SPS fpr XI 7.0

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/44/f565854b7341e6e10000000a1553f6/frameset.htm

so probably you need to install the new SP

Write a script and check it outside of XI is the only option apart from upgrading to SP 19 / SP 10.

Hi,

I would write a small shell script or a C program, which examines the empty files and moves only the nonempty file to the directory where XI adaptor is polling.
