        Hi there

        I have a file receive adapter that is listening in a folder location. A separate system writes a file to the location and Biztalk picks it up. The only porblem is that BTS is picking it  up before the file is finished being written so only a partial file is taken into BTS and causes errors.

        Any ideas? Thanks in Advance

        Steven

          The easiest way is to use a filename filter on the receive location (like *.txt) and change the system to write the file with a temporary extension and then rename the file after finishing.

            It ges even weirder …. once the file is taken by BTS the first process continues writing it so we end up with the bottom half of an XML file getting created.
