Hi,
I am trying to use the File adapter in my map rule as given below.

PUT("FILE","C:\Projects\FDI-V4.4.1\DSTX\Tmp\bammsg.queue -TE ..\Trace\error.mtr",PACKAGE( Message))

Here the map fails on the above rule.
But if i remove "-TE ..\Trace\error.mtr" command line option then the map works perfectly.

Does it mean that the file adapter will not support -TE option?

Could any one please confirm?

Thanks,
Shiva

Confirmed. I dont think the file adapter supports traces.

Thank you for confirming this.

But any idea how to handle this, in case if there is an error and the trace file to be created?

Thanks in Advance

on FILES, the error code and descriptions should be sufficient enough to tell you what's gone wrong.

The only adapter command for the File adapter is the path/filename, there is no option for trace (or anything else).

The only way to handle this issue really is to use the "VALID" and/or "FAIL" functions. If using it with "FAIL", the map will stop and give "30" error code and if you use "LASTERRORMSG", it will show "Adapter not found -99999" in the audit log, then you'll have to manualy figure out why the map can not write out the file. If you just use "VALID", it will put "Adapter not found -99999" in the field where the PUT statement executed.

There really are only two possible errors for file adapter; the path doesn't exist, or, the user that is logged in (or if the map is running under launcher/event server, the user name WTX runs under) does not have access to that path/the file exists with read only status. I can't recall if there's any other possible reasons.
