Can I follow the folloing blog to achive above functionality:

/people/shabarish.vijayakumar/blog/2006/11/26/adapter-scheduling--hail-sp-19-

Question2 :

Which one is better way whether to pick up files from FTP server or FTP server should send file to XI at a specific fime.

Question3:

There are around 100 stores which will send files at there closing time of store and all are in different time zones. How can I handle this for scheduling the files for a single interface.

Regards

Rinku,

A1 : This can be easily done in the comm.chanel itself. Give the polling second as 300 secs or 600 secs. Thats more than enough. The functionality described in the blog will be useful only if you want the comm.channel to be active for a particular time ,let say everyday 12:00 to12:30 my channel needs to be active.

A2: I couldn't get the second question. But the best optimization on comm.channel would be connect "per file transfer".

A3: Did all the stores send file with same name to same directory. I think it will not be the case. Say for example store1 will send Store1.xml, store2 sends Store2.xml, etc..... isn't it? Can u please clarify this. If they send diff.file names then in sender comm.channel u can give *, so all the files will be processed for same interface no problems will occur.

I hope it helps you. Give your feedback on the above answers

Best regards,

Rinku,

No , I didn't mean that u don't need to activate the channel. You have to activate the channel.

The sender FTP adapter acts as GET(FTP Command) inorder to get file from particular FTP folder, its not possible for FTP Server to push into XI. So Place the file on FTP server , XI will poll and get the file.

No , need to specify any time. Normal polling time which u have given id suffice. For every 300 seconds , it will look for the file in the FTP server if its there then it will take the file and process.
