Adapter not applying the file mask during recovery

Problem

When two adapters use the same local event directory with different file masks, the adapters individually process the files from the directory. However, when you restart one of the adapters, it picks up the files intended for another adapter using the same local event directory.

Cause

As per the design, the adapter applies the file mask only when picking the files for processing and not during the restart or recovery.

Solution

It is recommended that each adapter should have its own unique local event directory. This ensures that the adapter will apply the file masks during the restart or recovery also.

However, In a HA Active-Active configuration, multiple adapters can share the same local event directory.
