Getting issue while creating File Channel as Source

[Denial]

Hi ,

Can you please explain how the file channel as a source works :-

1) Do we need to create any storage folder path or by default will it take .If i am giving the path in the way as mentioned in the guide C:\Program Files\Attunity\Replicate\data\databases\file_channel it is throwing an error as does not exist or cannot be accessed.

2)What password do i need to keep in Advance setting.

Thanks,

Hi Denial,

Please raise a support case to analyze further, looks like Primary key violation.

Hmmm, the duplicate key error is not likely to be related to the file channel configuration as such. Did you check the table before the test? Perhaps the remote task is set to 'do nothing' the table on fresh load? And just a thought - are you running local and remote on  a single server as a test while and existing simple tasks is also running and replicating the same table ? I've managed to do that in the past :-).

Just curious - what is you reason for using File-Channel / FTS? Geographical distances? Company boundaries?

I'm asking because it is my understanding that file-channel usage while still fully documented is discouraged may become a deprecated feature some day. Some of the file-channel advantages are now accomplished by using logstream tasks/endpoint.
