Author Receive Port won't pick up a moved file

Hi,

I have a receive port at a customer site (BTS 2004) that will pick up files
that are copied and dropped into the folder, but will not pick up files that
are moved to the folder.

It's not the read only property; I have checked that.

Has anyone else encountered this? What's the problem?

Thanks in advance,
Mo

I have seen biztalk ignore files already in the folder that I've just
renamed, which I guess is because it doesn't monitor rename events, but I've
gotten it to pick up files moved from another folder into the one watched by
the FILE adapter with no problems.

Is the folder on a remote server, or is it local?

Well, yes and no.

I discovered the problem when I was running a script that moved the file
from another machine to this one. The script is installed on the BT machine
and it grabs the file from the other machine and puts it in the BT receive
folder.

When BT ignored it, I checked that the port was enabled, it was. I checked
the read only flag - it was cool. Then I tried copying and pasting files
locally. That worked - BT picked them up. Then I tried dragging a file lto
the receive loc. That did not work. (This used to work...don't know what
changed)

What I did not try, was deleting and recreating the receive location folder
- a classic "who knows maybe this'll work" attempt to solve something
completely mysterious... :-)

Before I return to the customer site (no remote access), I thought I'd post
and see if anyone had other suggestions. I appreciate your interest.

Humm, funky. have you noticed any warning/error on the machine's event log?
You could try enabling auditing on the specified folder, and that might give
you a hint if security is an issue, but I doubt it is (the FILE adapter
usually just shuts down on security errors).

Thanks for the suggestion. I am visiting the client site Monday. I will try
that and let you know.

I think your script is running under credentials such that the moved files
are not accessible by the BizTalk Server process (or the ACLs are being
copied from the source directory on the other machine without the right
ACLs). After the script runs, check the files security permissions by
r-clicking them and selecting Security/Advanced/Effective Permissions, type
in the BTS account and see if it can read/write/delete the files.

Thanks for the advice, Tomas and BizW,

I went to the client site today (prior to reading the BizW suggestion). I
tested drops, moves, and the script...and it all worked fine...I didn't
change anything (not a thing)... and no one changed anything (so they
claim)...It started to work as mysteriously as it stopped...

I will put your suggestions in my troubleshooting file for future reference.
Thanks!
Mo

Hi all,

I was having this problem here too. I solved it by giving admin access to
the receive folder to the biztalk user.

Best Regards,
Melo.
