Configuring file listener error processing

Specify the processing that occurs at run time when requestors that are based on the file listener encounter errors.

  1. From the Records editor in Dev Studio, click File Listener.
  2. Click the file listener that you want to configure.
  3. Click the Error tab.
  4. Select Attempt recovery? to leave files that contain errors in the Work subdirectory for recovery purposes.
    When selected, file listener processing might create many instances of the Log-Service-File class to aid in debugging, which might affect system performance.
  5. In the Max recovery attempts field, enter 0 or a positive integer to specify the maximum number of times the system attempts recovery.
  6. In the File Operations field, select whether to rename or delete files with errors.
    If you select Rename, files are moved into the completed subdirectory with the extension specified in the File extension field. Files are moved only after all recovery attempts fail.
  7. In the File extension field, enter a file type extension to append to renamed files, for example, .err.
