Communication channel Availability

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I am having a File to File scenario wherein there is no mapping involved.You can say as good as using a FTP.I am using XI in this scenario purely because of client requirement.

Problem Statement :

I need to pick up the source file from a particular folder and send it to target folder at a paticular time say 8:00 am daily.

Steps taken:

To take in this requirement, I have configured the Sender communication channel (Type File) availability to 8:00am - 8:15am daily.This was done by going to RWB>CC Monitoring>Control data(Automatic)

Settings :

Details Tab:

1)Description: Just any characters here

2)Active: Checked

3)Availability Time - Daily

At (Time):8.00 For (Duration): 15 Minutes

Series Start: Start Date Series End: End Date

Availability Times From : -same as above-

Communication channel Tab:

Communication Channel:<Sender Communication channel Name>

All above config is saved.

Problem encountered:

Now when I do the above steps, XI does take not only the file from source for 8-8:15 duration but also outside it. So file which comes in source folder after 8:15 am say at 9:00 is also picked up by XI, which ideally should not be the case.

My Query :

Am I going wrong somewhere while configuring the availability of Comm channel?

Regards,

Shiben

Hi Shiben,

Could you please check the Control Data state of Communication channel, it should be Automatically (not Manually)

&#9679; Manual

You control the communication channel by choosing Start or Stop.

&#9679; Automatic

The communication channel is controlled by availability times.

&#9679; External

The communication channel is controlled by an HTTP request.

Thanks a lot for your reply. I managed to solve it myself.

I was going wrong in the tab CC of Communication channel

monitoring.

I was puttting "1 channels fulfil the filter, of which 1 are excepted"

which actually should have been "1 channels fulfil the filter, of which 0 are excepted"

After setting this, the communication channel started working for the assigned time.

Thanks a lot for all your help.
