Hi, I am not sure if this is something that has been raised before but I cant seem to find it.
I am doing a POC using the new FileInput Node fetching a file from an FTP server. The connection and everything worked 100% but I am confused by the behavior of the node. It seems to retrieve and reprocess the same file over and over again (sometimes not in line with the polling interval as well). Is there a way to stop it from doing this?
thanks

Yes - configure it do to something else. Moving the processed file is a popular solution.

| If I understand correctly, I would have to somehow trigger a job on the remote server to remove the file once it has been processed? |

You just need to configure the FileInput node properly, and ensure that the FTP security identity has the necessary permissions on the remote directory to do the right thing.
Then you have to make sure that the remote side is not resending the same file over and over and over, and then do all of the other troubleshooting one needs to do.
The FileInput node only behaves like this when you haven't allowed it not to. |

No, typically the FileInput node is made to do it.

Yes, if the file from remote FTP server is successfully transferred, it is deleted from the FTP server.
Follow the steps mentioned here:http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wmbhelp/v6r1m0/topic/com.ibm.etools.mft.doc/ac55422_.htm
