Outbound interface determination in file adapter?

[Former Member]

In my scenario files with different schemas can be send to XI from the same directory using the file adapter (so each file has a different interface that must be mapped etc.).

I cannot add multiple interfaces to the file adapter in sender agreement and determine the outbound interface by some condition. Interface must not be "*".

I thought about creating multiple file adapters (all listening to the same directory) and sender agreements. Each adapter is listenig to specific file type only (e.g. *.yxz, *.abc). So before putting the files to the input directory the file extension must be changed so that only the right adapter reads the file and XI gets the right interface.

Is there abetter way to do this???

Hi Frank,

Check this blog it may help:

@Prasanthi: The blog is about including or excluding files based on their name. All polled files have the same interface (in the blog called I1). But I need all files! Files for I2 must be polled to from that directory, too! I think that I need a second adapter with another include/exclude condition to get these files... I hoped there would be another way

I think i misunderstud the scenario ealier.

If there isnt any dependency amongst the messages, then BPM is not required. U have to use separate sender agreement. Same communication channel could be used if u use dynamic filenames.

@Prateek: A communication channel based on a file adapter can only be used in one sender agreement!

Use BPM. Ur scenario is N:1. U cant avoid BPM

I think it's 1:1 because each file generates e.g. one RFC call. Depending on the file that comes to XI another mapping must be done and another BAPI is called, but all files come from the same directory...
