Communication Channel marked all files as being read on FTP

Question

The Mailbox FTP has all the files flagged as being read when a single file is read through a communication channel.  I manually unflagged the status field so all files had a status of N so none were pulled.  I had 14 files for this test flagged as N.   I turned off all our CCu2019s.  I activated one that was pulling the last file in the list based on the Service Ref# which is unique file name.  I refreshed the dir of the FTP several times as the CC was running.  One by one as the flag was changed to Y (file read) from top to bottom.  It only took a second for each one until it got to three very large files and the status stopped while it was reading the file.  After a minute it continued to change the flag until it read the last one.   All 14 files on the ftp now had the status flag changed to Y.  It appears it actually read the file content one by one and set the flag until it was done.  Do you have any ideas why it would do this?  From a dos prompt I donu2019t have any of these issues so Iu2019m guessing itu2019s something unique in the SAP FTP adapter that is doing it?
From a dos prompt I can successfully do a get 003520827870964903 c:data.txt and it will only update that ST flag for that one file as being read.  I can also do a get %EDT39A22%W_Z1JI4960 c:data.txt  and it will only flag the four files as being read that have that Mailbox/APRF value.  Now I'm trying to get my CC to do the same but no matter what I try it marks all six files as being read.   I have in my source directory %EDT39A22%W_Z1JI4960 and * for a file name and this will mark all files as being read when activated.   I have entered 003520827870964903 for a file name to further qualify and it still marks all files as being read.  It seems to be getting the file I want cause when I view the communication channel monitor it shows the right data in the payload but it always refers to another file for the archive / delete / test option from the processing tab.  There are no problems having a CC write a file out using similar parms for Mailbox/APRF, but trying to read a single file using the Service Ref # or a collection of files using a Mailbox/APRF mask seem to update the status for all files as being read.  Any suggestions are welcome.

Answer 1

Have you installed any apps that auto display the emails when they come in? If so the auto read feature may be triggering this, I had a app at one time that showed my emails in the preview window and it made the emails be listed as read... I would check your apps and make sure you are not using something like this unknowingly.
