File adapter error message

[Former Member]

Hello!

I am getting the error below when processing a message using the file adapter. The message is viewable in the runtime workbench (message monitoring). I am on the assumption that it means one of two things, neither of which I am able to confirm at this point. Either the message it too big (very possible), or it can not connect to the endpoint.

Is anyone familiar with this error message? The host and port are correct, I just removed them for proprietary reasons. This setup has worked in the past, but it just started to fail.

Here is the error message:

<b><i>Transmitting the message to endpoint http://<host>:<port>/sap/xi/engine?type=entry using connection AFW failed, due to: com.sap.aii.af.ra.ms.api.RecoverableException: java.nio.BufferOverflowException.</i></b>

Thanks!

Hi Shravan;

Thanks for the notes, we will try the upgrade at some point. For now, we will run the process more often to reduce the file size. It certainly seems to apply to what we are experiencing.

Thanks!

I am glad it was helpful. I always check the OSS Notes at least once a week, thats how I found this one and saved it.
