Hi guys.. I have a good one! I have an FTP Get File List action block in my BLS transaction. Occasionally, it double lists the files in its output. For testing I put a repeater with a logevent output where I log the filename, date, and size. Heres what I saw for my action block output.
2009-02-13 00:38:00,963 [UserEvent] : File Name: DMM_Export_0010056.txt, File Date 2009-02-13T00:36:00, File Size 339 2009-02-13 00:38:00,963 [UserEvent] : File Name: DMM_Export_0010056.txt, File Date 2009-02-13T00:36:00, File Size 339
This is xMII version 11.5.6 b73 with java 1.4.2_07
I have a workaround by putting in a distinct action block, after the filelist, but anybody have an idea why this might happen? My theory is that something might be occuring if the file is being written to while we try to process it, but not sure.
I've been building BLS parsers since 2003, (Remember those fun times with Jeremy?) I've never seen this happen.
