schedule sender file adapter

[Former Member]

hi all,

Is is possible in some way to schedule the file adapter? My requirement is that the file is created in the source directory at 8:00 am but I need to pick up the file only at 11:00 am. How can I do this? How are these scenarios typically handled?

thanks,

Hi Lasya,

what about creating a report in XI that simply change the extension of the file you need to load and schedule a job for that everyday at the time you need?

Then in the adapter you will load only the file with that extension.

I think this could be good as you will have a little more control and also everything will be in XI.

Regards,

Sergio

Hi,

Unfortunately it's not yet available. According to recent thread on this forum, this functionality could appear with SP20 (thus about at the end of January), but it could be after...

Another solution could be:

1. Your sender sent the file in folder F1, when I want to do it.

2. Create a litle Java function or a DOS command which take a this file from folder F1 and move it to folder F2

3. Schedule this one by a Windows Task in order to plan it exactly when you want.

4. Inside XI, your File sender CC pick up file in folder F2.

Regards.
