FTP Adapter Issue

Question

Hi,

FTP Adapter does not support guaranteed delivery.how can we make sure FTP adapter guarantee delivery of messages.?.

Answer 1

Hi

Are you using an orchestration? If yes, you can use Delivery Notification("Delivery Notification" = Transmitted) on the logical FTP SendPort in the orchestration. So, if there is failure in transmission on the actual FTP Send, your orchestration will receive a Microsoft.XLANGs.BaseTypes.DeliveryFailureException exception, which you can catch/handle in your orchestration. If there is a failure, you can keep retrying the Send operation, use something like the Suspend/Retry pattern.

Refer below links for more implementation details -

Hi Arindam,

Thank You.

Using Delivery Notification" = Transmitted ..this will not create performance issue? as a single sendport instance will try to deliver all the messages. 

Answer 3

Hi Ajit

No, that is not the case.

You will still get multiple SendPort instances (for as many messages that you try to send). Enabling Delivery Notification does not create a singleton SendPort instance, like the Ordered Delivery feature.
