Do not show empty files in XI

[Former Member]

Hi all, i have an escenario with somethimes, generates an empty file, and times no, it depends on the information that the idoc send me.

If the file is empty, how can i tell to xi that i should not be generated.

In the comunitation channel there is some option to purge empty files?

I hope you can help me.

In the Receiver File Adapter under Processing parameters you have an option

Empty Message Handling - Default is Write Empty file which can be changed to ignore to ignore empty messages as in your case.

Hope this should help your case.

Please award points if you find this solution helpful.

Hi Kanwal,

Thank you for your answer, but it doesn´t work. I continue generating the empty files in the ftp directory.

Select the Handling of Empty Messages:

○ Write Empty File

An empty file (length 0 bytes) is put in the target directory.

○ Ignore

No file is put in the target directory.

it has to work.. can you confirm which is the SP you are on?

Also confirm if the file size of the empty file is 0 bytes.
