C_CPI Integration Suite Development Practice Question
An integration developer is building an integration flow in SAP Cloud Integration that must write a file to an SFTP server. The partner requires that each file be written to a temporary name and only renamed to its final name after the complete content has been transferred, so that downstream readers never see partial files. Which SFTP receiver adapter setting accomplishes this?
⚠ Common exam trap
The trap here is assuming that any reliability setting on the SFTP adapter prevents partial reads, when only the temporary file mechanism controls when the final name appears.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Enable 'Use Temporary File' and provide a temporary file name prefix or suffix
Guaranteeing that readers never observe partial files requires writing the content under a temporary name and renaming it only after the transfer finishes. The SFTP receiver adapter's temporary file facility, configured with a prefix or suffix, performs exactly this two-phase write. Directory navigation, reconnection tuning, and session disconnect options all affect connectivity or path handling but leave file naming and visibility untouched, so they cannot meet the partner's atomic-delivery requirement.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Enable 'Disconnect' after each message processing run
Why it's wrong here
The disconnect option simply closes the SFTP session after the exchange finishes, releasing resources and avoiding idle connections. It does not alter the sequence in which the remote file is created or renamed. A reader could still observe a partially written file under the final name during the transfer. Consequently this setting is unrelated to the atomicity the partner demands.
- ✗
Configure the 'Maximum Reconnect Attempts' and 'Reconnect Delay' parameters
Why it's wrong here
Reconnection parameters control how the adapter recovers from dropped connections by retrying the session. They improve resilience against network interruptions but say nothing about how the remote file is named or when it becomes visible. A file could still be written under its final name and read prematurely. These settings therefore do not satisfy the temporary-name requirement.
- ✗
Set the 'Change Directories Stepwise' option to true
Why it's wrong here
Changing directories stepwise affects how the adapter navigates a directory path on the SFTP server, resolving each segment in turn. It has no influence on file naming or on the visibility of partially transferred content. Enabling it would not create a temporary name or a rename step, so downstream readers could still encounter an incomplete file. It addresses path traversal, not atomic file delivery.
- ✓
Enable 'Use Temporary File' and provide a temporary file name prefix or suffix
Why this is correct
The SFTP receiver adapter offers an option to write the payload to a temporary file first and rename it to the final target name once the transfer completes. Configuring a temporary file name, typically via a prefix or suffix, guarantees the partner's readers only observe fully written files. This directly implements the atomic-write requirement described in the scenario.
