File listener isn't picking up the file from source location
Configured a file listener to pick a file from source location based on certain name format (ex: ABC_BCD*.csv). The listener is configured to run on all nodes but the listener isn't picking up the file from the source location. This is in Pega 7.3.1. Checked the access for the location to pega app server and it is all good. Listener has created the required folders in the source location (ex: work_ folder). Yet, listener is unable to read any new incoming file to the source location.
Trying to understand what could go wrong in processing of files. Any idea about the same would be helpful.
Note: file listener worked perfectly till July 02, 2019. Files placed in location after this date never got processed (there were 2 files placed in the location dated July 8 and July 9, 2019). The name format for the files matches with the format specified in the listener configuration.

Got the issue.
The permissions for the app server to access source location were revoked somehow on server restart. Not sure if this is an expected behavior but got the required permissions back now and the listener is able to process the files now.

Can you please enable the debug log: com.pega.pegarules.integration.engine.internal.services.file.FileListener and collect the debug log and attach for further investigation?

Try with Nodebased Start up Option and configure to run on one JVM
Make sure you have enough privileges to the folder where you are trying to access using listener (source location)
Stop and Start the Listener using SMA/System Operations

Hi Siva,
Can you try format (ex:"*.ABC_BCD.*.CSV").

You could first remove any kind of restriction on your file listener.
pattern *, disable case sensitivity
If you yourself push a file in the listened directory, is it working? if your on linux/unix, can you chmod 777 this file.
is it a local directory from where you pick up the file?
If you're able to have one of your manual file picked up, you'll find which restriction is blocking automatic process.
