Thanks for the suggestion.
We are thinking of using SFTP services instead. For the time being we have increased the Seeburger poll time while we explore other options.

Hi srijans

Please explore the SFTP Smart Services Plugin as your alternative.
This can be found in the AppMarket.

The Filesystem Utilities plug-in (which enables the move to filesystem smart service) is no longer recommended for use, and was removed from the AppMarket quite some time ago.

Does Seeburger have a configuration to ignore files having a certain extension (i.e. file extension whitelist/blacklist)?
With the SFTP Smart Services plug-in, you can rename a file AFTER the transfer is complete.
So, if you generate/transfer the file using an extension that Seeburger ignores, you can be assured the Seeburger won't lock the file while the SFTP transfer is in progress.
Then, after the file transfer completes, use the Rename File Over SFTP smart service to rename the file with an extension that Seburger is looking for.

This should allow you to keep your polling frequency low.

Hi,
I am not sure of locking file while moving, explicitly. But you can try one alternative you can use when no other option available :)
1. You can create and move a small empty file with the same name as that of your original file but with extension say .trg (trigger) when the original file is moved completely.
2. Make your file poller to pick files only when its trigger file is present.
Thanks,

Hi srijans ,

You can try the below possible ways.

1.First you can try with smart service "Send File Over FTP" and check whats the time duration for transfering the file.
2.I don't have much idea about Seeburger but there must be some configuration to change the scanning time from 20 secs to like 60-80 secs
3.You can also split the same file into several small files\parts so that it can be transferred within less time and the locking can be avoided.
