Send Email notification for iFlow connection/poll failure of SFTP sender adapter

[joel_langoyan]

Hi Experts,

Is it possible to capture and send email notifications for connection polling failure for sender SFTP adapters? In our project right now I have been noticing a repetitive failure of those SFTP based iFlows. Even though most of the time they temporary I think it is important to be captured in some way. As I understand the MessageProcessingLogs API is able to store failures that are message related. I am not sure if that same API can be utilized for this goal or there some other way?

Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks.

Regards,

Joel

Hello Joel,

I am facing similar issue in my project for SFTP sender scenarios. Did you get any solution for your similar SFTP Polling issue?

Thank you.

No direct solution but workaround since sender does not reach the exception subprocess. I just created a separate scheduled iFlow that only has poll enrich and exception subprocess for the email notification. The poll enrich connects to the same SFTP server as with my other SFTP interface but to an empty folder. Poll enrich has ping function built-in so on iFlow schedule if the ping fails then iFlow fails and is captured in exception subprocess thereby sending notification. Basically the separate iFlow is just there to check the status of the SFTP server using the ping of poll enrich.

what about the approach via exception subprocess? https://blogs.sap.com/2022/06/07/how-to-create-exception-sub-process-for-i-flow-in-sap-cpi/

Hi Mark,

Already implemented exception subprocess for the email notification on all my scenarios and sure subprocess does not capture those connection issues. I looked at other discussions with the same goal as I do and it seems such a thing for now is leaning towards impossible, I am not sure.

Thanks
