Configuring file listener error recovery
You can automate how your file listener recovers files if an error occurs. In the
file listener rule form, specify the processing that occurs at run time when requestors that
are based on the file listener encounter errors. For example, you can rename files with the
file extension .err so that you can easily identify the files that the
file listener could not process.
- In the navigation pane of Dev Studio, click Records.
- Expand the Integration-Resources category, and then click File Listener.
- Click the file listener for which you want to configure error processing.
- Click the Error tab.
- To leave files that contain errors in the Work subdirectory for recovery
purposes, in the Error recovery section, select
Attempt recovery?.When selected, file listener processing might create many instances of the Log-Service-File class to aid in debugging, which might affect system performance.
- To specify the maximum number of times the system attempts recovery, in the
Max recovery attempts field, enter 0 or a positive
integer.The default is three recovery attempts.
- In the Cleanup section, in the File
operation field, select whether to rename or delete files with
errors.If you select Rename, files are moved into the completed subdirectory with the extension specified in the File extension field. Files are moved only after all recovery attempts fail.
- In the File extension field, enter a file type extension to append to renamed files, for example, .err.
- Click Save.
