Hi,

Processing mode for File sender:

<b>Archive</b>

Files that have been successfully processed are moved to an archive directory.

To add a time stamp to a file name, select the Add Time Stamp indicator.

Under Archive Directory, enter the name of the archive directory.

If you want to archive the files on the FTP server, set the Archive Files on FTP Server indicator. If you do not set the indicator, the files are archived in the Adapter Engine file system.

<b>Delete</b>

Successfully processed files are deleted.

<b>Test

Files are not processed.

Only use this mode to test the configurations of the file/FTP adapter or the Integration Engine/PCK. It is not suitable for productive operation.</b>

<b> Set to Read-Only</b>

Successfully processed files are given this attribute. Only writable files are processed. This selection is only available for the File System (NFS) transport protocol.

File As receiver you have FILE CONSTRUCTION MODE

<b>Create,Append,Add Time Stamp,Add Message ID,Add Counter.

,</b>

Cheers,

Hi,

There are 4 modes. Test is used for developer testing. In produciton we usually use delete option else the same file will be reading twice. If you want to archive the file after reading by XI then you use Archive option.

Check this SAP Help on all this options (Check the processing parameters seciton):
