Update query not working in the JDBC sender Communication channel

Question

Hi,
We are working on JDBC to File scenario. As per the configuration, XI should pick the data from SQL database every 20 secs and should update the corresponding flag. We are using subquery in the select and update statement as both header and detail tables are involved.
Now the issue is, select query is working fine but update statement is not working as expected. It is somehow updating some other records rather than doing for the ones selected by the adapter.
Moreover logSQLstatement is also not working. Hence we are unable to identify the records which are getting updated.
Please advise.

Hi Rumi,
See Question 8. Transaction Handling (Sender) in [SAP Note 831162 - FAQ: XI 3.0 / PI 7.0 / PI 7.1 JDBC Adapter|https://websmp130.sap-ag.de/sap(bD1wdCZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/sapnotes/index2.htm?numm=831162].
8.  Transaction Handling (Sender)
Q: If I have the following configured in a JDBC Sender:
Select Query:
SELECT column FROM TABLENAME WHERE FLAG = "TRUE"
Update Query:
UPDATE TABLENAME SET FLAG = "FALSE" WHERE FLAG = "TRUE"
How do I know that the JDBC adapter will not update newly added rows (rows that were
added between the time that the SELECT and UPDATE queries were executed) that were
not read in the initial SELECT query?
A: The SELECT and the UPDATE are run in the same DB transaction, i.e. both statements
have the same view on the database.
Make sure that both statements use the same WHERE clause. An additional
requirement for the correct operation of this scenario is the configuration of
an appropriate transaction isolation level on the database
(i.e., repeatable_read or serializable). You might also consider using a
"SELECT FOR UPDATE" statement instead of a plain SELECT statement to
ensure proper locking on the database. "SELECT FOR UPDATE"
is not supported in MS SQL database. In this case please make use of an
appropriate transaction isolation level on the database. For more details
please contact your DB vendors.
