Wildcard in filename

692 Views

I have a requirement. I have to send all the files in a particular directory to a reciever for which I am giving file name parameter as

'*.pdf' and a valid source directory from which to select the files.

There are some 700 pdf files to transfer.

The interface fails when it hits a file, which has '' in its filename. Something like AS_20090218.pdf.

The communication channel gives SAP Illegal Argument Exception. But I need to transport this file as it is to the receiver with the same filename. I have tried mostly all the combinations of wildcards and Advanced Source Selection options in the file adapter with no use.

Evidently, it considers the use of '' in the file name an error condition when '.pdf' is used to give the file names.

Has anybody come across any problem like this? If so, what is the way to solve this?

Thanks,

Rashmi.
