In Error tab of File listener you can choose file operation as rename and set file extension as ERR then the file will move to the completed folder with filename.ERR. Thanks.

Hi Rajesh,
Thanks for your reply I am aware of the functionality of error tab, but what i am asking is in which scenarios will that file be saved as .err(like when will that exactly happen ) and can we explicitly state when that should be happening?(Like may be if some condition fails we save it as err)
Thanks

Hi Manindra,
If the failure is such that the thread does not die then the file would be copied to the directory as filename.ERR
Such scenarios include parsing errors and the like. As far as enumerating every condition I am not sure that can be done.

Hi JimKelly,
Thanks for your reply :)
From what we have seen if parsing fails because of wrong JSON structure the file is still being moved to completed, since the file listener was able to read the file which is placed in the path provided.
In short the file listeners reads any file with .JSON extension irrespective of the content or structure inside it and moves it to completed folder even if parsing fails.

Hi Manidra,
We are also facing same issue with Listener. We are placing wrong xml file. parsing is failing but still file is moved to completed folder. it does not create any .ERR file. Were you able to solve this issue?
