FTP adapter --- Not picking up files

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have set up an FTP adapter in archive mode to read files from FTP server and process it while archiving a copy of it. I have set up Poll interval at 40 secs and retry interval also set up. It works great the first time . Processes the file and archives it. But when the same files comes in again in the FTP server, I see the foll. message in the adapter monitor "Error: Stopped due to error: com.sap.aii.adapter.file.ftp.FTPEx: inputdat.txt: No such file or directory: No such file or directory."..The file exists in the FTP server but its not processed..I am not sure what I am missing...

Hi,

I haven't seen such an error but have you added AddTimeStamp when defining the archive directory? maybe the file adapter cannot put the same file (with the same name) into an archive directory?

Hi Michal,

I have timestamp set up for archive directory..So every run will create an archive file with timestamp..But the input filename remains the same..Archive functionality would remove the file inthe FTP server..So when the file comes again into the FTP server, the FTP adapter doesn't trigger automatically. Everytime I had to activate the IB for FTP adapter to trigger the process. I know this is not how XI-FTP adapter should work..Our scenario is we would receive weekly files into the FTP adpater with the same name. We need to archive each weekly file and also send it for further processing..I can't be activating the process manually ....I know something is going wrong but can't figure it out...:(..Any help is appreciated...:)
