Hey

for File you can use either EOIO or EO.

EOIO will send the messages only once in order and EO will send the message only once(not necessarily in order)

BE(Best effort) shouldn't be used with File adapter coz its used in synchronous scenarios

Thanx

Hi,

My flat file looks like this and I am using BPM to call 3 webservices of a 3rd party system.Each record contains L1,L2,L3.So is it good to go with EO or EOIO?

Hey

Thats a question your business people will better answer,if they want to maintain any specific order in message delivery then use EOIO,if no order needs to be maintained then go for EO.

one issue that might comes up with EOIO is that since messages pass through queue so if any message gets stuck(due to some error) all the messages behind it will also get stuck(even if they don't have any errors) but with EO since there is no queue hence this won't happen,only the message with error will fail,other messages won't be affected.

Thanx
