Multiple flat files appended, is file locked until all processed?

[Former Member]

Hi All,

Have a scenario in place where we are collecting multiple flat files on ECC and using append mode on the receiver file adapter to create a single file for final output. We are only interested in submitting the output to it's target after all files sent to PI have been appended.

Does PI 7.0 lock the appended file until all files have been appended so I am sure I end up with a complete single file on output? If not, what are my options to ensure a completely appended file is output? Would it be a viable option to pass the appending file through another sender file adapter using 'msecs to wait before modification check'?

Thanks!

Don

How many files are you collecting from ECC and appending at receiver side and how much time it is taking to complete the process?

if its possible to schedule your business to read data from FTP after completing append then no worries, else sometimes it creates trouble.

The option you mentioned is reliable one , but you ended up creating one more interface.
