ADLS2 File Collection Agent Transaction Behavior(4.0)

The transaction behaviour for the ADLS2 file collection agent is described here. For more information about general  transaction behavior please refer to the section Transactions in Workflow Monitor.

Emits

The agent emits commands that changes the state of the file currently processed.

Command

Description

Begin Batch

Emitted before the first part of each collected file is fed into a workflow.

End Batch

Emitted after the last part of each collected file has been fed into the system.

Retrieves

The agent retrieves commands from other agents and based on them generates a state change of the file currently processed.

Command

Description

Cancel Batch

If a Cancel Batch message is received, the agent sends the batch to ECS.

Note!

If the Cancel Batch behavior defined on workflow level is configured to abort the workflow, the agent will never receive the last Cancel Batch message. In this situation ECS will not be involved, and the file will not be moved, but left at its current place.

Hint End Batch

If a Hint End Batch message is received, the collector splits the batch at the end of the current block processed (32 kB), If the block end occurs within a UDR, the batch will be split at the end of the preceding UDR.

After a batch split, the collector emits an End Batch message, followed by a Begin Batch message (provided that there is data in the subsequent block).
