Mule File Inbound Move to Pattern - mule

I am processing a text file and works fine except the moveToPattern in the file inbound. After processing the file I need it to be renamed to xxx.processed. For that I am using a moveToPattern. That doesn't seem working. So also its not being deleted although I am setting to autoDelete to true. Below is the code snippet
<file:connector name="Outbound_File" autoDelete="true" streaming="true" validateConnections="true" pollingFrequency="300000" doc:name="File" />
<flow name="integrationFlow1" doc:name="integrationFlow1">
<file:inbound-endpoint path="${inbound.path}" moveToPattern="#[message.inboundProperties.originalFilename].processed" responseTimeout="10000" doc:name="File" connector-ref="Outbound_File" >
<file:filename-regex-filter pattern="xxx_(.*).txt" caseSensitive="true"/>
</file:inbound-endpoint>
Many thanks.

The moveTo feature is an enterprise version feature, as per documentation. And it won't work anyhow without the moveToDirectory attribute.
The autodelete do work for me, althought you might be hitting an error on some version, are you running the very lastest 3.6.0?

Mule file inbound connector with poll scope

I'm trying to use mule inbound file connector with poll scope got error saying couldn't start endpoint. If I remove poll scope and use file connector with default polling and its working fine without any file path changes.
I was wondering why is Poll scope giving error? If file inbound connector not allowed to wrapped in poll scope, why anypoint studio showing poll scope in the wrap in option ?
I found similar question, but I didn't see detailed explanations.
Mule won't allow POLL message processor to read file using file Inbound?
Advance thanks for your response.
Use mule-module-requester https://github.com/mulesoft/mule-module-requester, together with the Poll Scheduler.
relevant posts: http://blogs.mulesoft.com/dev/mule-dev/introducing-the-mule-requester-module/
Another way is,
Set the FTP flow initialState="stopped", and let the poll scheduler start the flow. After the FTP processing, stop the flow again.
see sample code:
<ftp:connector name="FTP" pollingFrequency="1000"
validateConnections="true" moveToDirectory="/work/ftp/processed"
doc:name="FTP" />
<flow name="scheduleStartFTPFlow">
<poll doc:name="Poll">
<fixed-frequency-scheduler frequency="1"
timeUnit="MINUTES" />
<expression-component doc:name="START FTP FLOW"><![CDATA[if(app.registry.processFTPFlow.isStopped()){
app.registry.processFTPFlow.start();
}]]></expression-component>
</poll>
<logger message="Poll Logging: #[payload]" level="INFO"
doc:name="Logger" />
</flow>
<flow name="processFTPFlow" initialState="stopped">
<ftp:inbound-endpoint host="localhost" port="21"
path="/data/ftp" user="Sanjeet" password="sanjeet123" responseTimeout="10000"
doc:name="FTP" connector-ref="FTP" />
<logger message="Logging FTP #[payload]" level="INFO" doc:name="Logger" />
<expression-component doc:name="STOP FTP FLOW"><![CDATA[app.registry.processFTPFlow.stop();]]></expression-component>
</flow>
Please, provide SSCCE.
Based on your question you do not need Poll at all. File Connector already has this feature to check file periodically. Here is example which polls file every 0.123 seconds
<file:inbound-endpoint path="/tmp" responseTimeout="10000" doc:name="File" pollingFrequency="123"/>
My suggestion is to use the quartz connector beside the file connector and set the interval in the quartz connector. Or use the file connector itself having the poll frequency so no need to wrap the file in poll scope.
you can create a file endpoint in the global element section and then use mule requester to invoke that endpoint inside a poll scope.
<file:connector name="File1" autoDelete="true" streaming="true" validateConnections="true" doc:name="File"/>
<file:endpoint connector-ref="File1" name="File" responseTimeout="10000" doc:name="File" path="/"/>
<flow name="pocforloggingFlow1">
<poll doc:name="Poll">
<mulerequester:request resource="File" doc:name="Mule Requester"/>
</poll>
</flow>

Error when creating multiple file transfer flows in mule

I have a need to have three different scheduled jobs for picking up and transferring files to an SFTP server. Using examples I was able to create a single working flow. However, when I replicate that flow and adjust the configuration, I get an error complaining about 2 connectors matching protocol file.
It asks me to specify these, however, I have specified which endpoint should be used for each flow.
Does anyone have any ideas about what I'm doing wrong, or what Mule is looking for?

The error message is asking you to declare explicit file:connector components. Now you have just file:endpoint components.
If you haven't defined a file connecotr. Try declaring one and add a connector-reference on each of the file endpoints.
<file:connector name="myFileConnector" ></file:connector>
Add the Connector reference on each of the file endpoints as below. Add the reference for all the three file endpoints.
<file:endpoint name="imageDataConnector" connector-ref="myFileConnector" path="${imageDataOriginFilePath}" pollingFrequency="5000" doc:name="partsDataFile"/>
Hope this helps.

Mule - process file only when another is present

I have a Mule flow which processes files in an inbound folder that are named AAA_[id_number].dat. However, I need to configure Mule to only process this file when a corresponding file named [id_number].dat is also available. The second file indicates that the first is ready for processing.
Is there a way I can configure an inbound endpoint in Mule to only start processing the AAA_ file when it's counterpart is present? The [id_number].dat file is purely for notification purposes, it should not be processed by Mule. The inbound endpoint has a regex filter to look for a file in the format AAA...
<!-- Mule Requester Config -->
<mulerequester:config name="muleRequesterConfig" doc:name="Mule Requester"/>
<!-- File Connectors -->
<file:connector name="inputTriggerConnector" pollingFrequency="100" doc:name="File"/>
<file:connector name="inputFileConnector" doc:name="File"/>
<file:connector name="outputFileConnector" doc:name="File"/>
<!-- File Endpoints -->
<file:endpoint name="inputFileEndpoint" path="src/test/input" responseTimeout="10000" doc:name="File">
<file:filename-regex-filter pattern="\d{6}.dat" caseSensitive="true"/>
</file:endpoint>
<!-- Trigger Flow -->
<flow name="triggerFlow" doc:name="triggerFlow">
<file:inbound-endpoint ref="inputFileEndpoint" connector-ref="inputTriggerConnector" pollingFrequency="1000" doc:name="Input Trigger"/>
<flow-ref name="mainFlow_StockB2C" doc:name="Flow Reference"/>
</flow>
<!-- Main Flow -->
<flow name="mainFlow" doc:name="mainFlow">
<mulerequester:request config-ref="muleRequesterConfig" resource="file://.../AAA_#[message.inboundProperties.originalFilename]?connector=inputFileConnector" timeout="6000" doc:name="Mule Requester"/>
<DO SOMETHING WITH AAA_ FILE>
<file:outbound-endpoint connector-ref="outputFileConnector" path="src/test/output" outputPattern="#[function:dateStamp].csv" responseTimeout="6000" doc:name="Output File"/>
</flow>
Why not filter set a file inbound filter for the [id_number].dat files (or one that excludes the AAA_ files), if those are only used for notification? Would make more sense in my opinion. You can then grab the file to be processed with the requester module inside the flow, based on the originalFileName property.
Just in case this might help someone who needs it, you can create a custom filter and include your own filtering logic in there. More details from this blog here

MuleESB flow, why do I get two files outputted?

I'm trying to get one record from MongoDB and put it into a file, but I get two files, why is that? I thought that these would execute in a sequence and each step in the flow would take the data from the previous step, am I wrong?
<flow name="test1Flow2" doc:name="test1Flow2">
<http:inbound-endpoint exchange-pattern="request-response" host="localhost" port="8081" doc:name="HTTP"/>
<mongo:find-one-object
config-ref="Mongo_DB" collection="my_collection" doc:name="Mongo DB"
query-ref="#[string:{ }]" >
</mongo:find-one-object>
<mongo:dbobject-to-json doc:name="Mongo DB"/>
<file:outbound-endpoint path="/somewhere" responseTimeout="10000" doc:name="Mongo DB"/>
</flow>
I go to this URL to trigger its execution.
http://localhost:8081/
Thanks, Philip
Try setting a path attribute for the http inbound endpoint, you are quite likely experiencing a favicon.ico request sent by your browser along with the http request you actually want to do.

Timed Mule Web Service Client Flow

I've searched the forums for an answer to this. I found one almost identical question, though the answer left me still wondering.
An almost identical post was found here:
Mule - Schedule a flow to consume a web service
This poster stated the problem I am having very well.
I am also new to Mule and am trying to do the very same thing. I didnt realize I needed a payload since I thought the operation specification was essentially the payload.
Notice that I have a flow that includes cxf:jaxws-client and that client specifies a URL for the service and an operation "listTest".
What other payload do i need to specify in order to actually execute the service request?
I tried to add a dummy payload to the event generator (as suggested in referenced post), and that doesnt make a difference.
When I execute the mule application, and monitor the "test auditor web service" (using wireshark) i see four requests go out for the wsdl, and i see that wsdl returned, but i dont actually see the listTest operation getting invoked.
My flow is:
<http:connector name="HTTP_HTTPS" cookieSpec="netscape"
validateConnections="true" sendBufferSize="0" receiveBufferSize="0"
receiveBacklog="0" clientSoTimeout="10000" serverSoTimeout="10000"
socketSoLinger="0" doc:name="HTTP\HTTPS" />
<flow name="TestAuditorClient_CheckerFlow1" doc:name="TestAuditorClient_CheckerFlow1">
<quartz:outbound-endpoint jobName="GetTestList"
repeatInterval="10000" responseTimeout="10000" doc:name="Quartz">
<quartz:event-generator-job jobGroupName="GetTestList" />
</quartz:outbound-endpoint>
<cxf:jaxws-client operation="listTest"
clientClass="server.TestService_Service" port="TestServicePort"
wsdlLocation="http://192.168.66.7:8080/TestAuditorWebApp/TestService?wsdl"
doc:name="SOAPY" />
<outbound-endpoint
address="http://192.168.66.7:8080/TestAuditorWebApp/TestService"
doc:name="HTTP" />
<logger message="Received HTTP Response #[payload]" level="INFO"
doc:name="Logger" />
<!-- <outbound-endpoint exchange-pattern="request-response" address="http://192.168.66.17:8080/TestAuditorWebApp/TestService"
doc:name="HTTP"/> -->
<file:outbound-endpoint path="C:\tmp"
outputPattern="#[function:datestamp:dd-MM-yy]_#[function:systime].txt"
responseTimeout="10000" doc:name="Output File" />
</flow>
I am not only new to mule, but as well to stack overflow. So if there was a better way for me to ask a related question, please advise and excuse.
Thanks in advance.
Instead of Quartz, you can use a poll message processor to generate the instances of ListTest you need.
Assuming this class FQDN is server.TestService.ListTest (you didn't tell), the following should work:
<flow name="TestAuditorClient_CheckerFlow1">
<poll frequency="10000">
<set-payload value="#[lt=new server.TestService.ListTest(); lt.aField='aValue'; lt]" />
</poll>
...
Notice how you can set values on the POJO directly from the expression that creates it.
