Error in processing empty files

[Former Member]

We have a requirement where in we the source system sends an empty file (xml,csv,txt) and XI shud process this file and send it to the target systems.

It is a file 2 file scenario we are using.

I have checked the option in the file adapter which says "process empty files"

I see the Error message displayed in the Abap stack “Unable to read payload from the message object”

Can some one point me how to process this empty file.

Thanks,

Handling of Empty Files

Specify how empty files (length 0 bytes) are to be handled.

○ Do Not Create Message

No XI messages are created from empty files.

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.

○ Skip Empty Files

No XI messages are created from empty files.

Empty files are skipped and remain in the source directory.

These three options are available for handling empty files in XI SP 19 and PI SP 10 and above.

Select the option :Do Not Create Message"
