The empty file have to be generated in specific path..

Hi Hari,

The below link will tell you how to call operating system command using file adapter 'Run Operating System Command Before/After Message Processing' to meet a requirement where file adapter need to place newly created file on two separate target directories instead of only one.

Hope the below will help you.

Hi Hari

I think for using UNIX Touch these are the alternate commands i found.

touch [  -a ] [  -c ] [  -m ] [  -f ] [  -r RefFile ] [ Time |  -t Time ] { File ... | Directory ... }


-a	Changes the access time of the file specified by the File variable. Does not change the modification time unless -m is also specified.
-c	Does not create the file if it does not already exist. No diagnostic messages are written concerning this condition.
-f	Attempts to force the touch in spite of read and write permissions on a file.
-m	Changes the modification time of File. Does not change the access time unless -a is also specified.
-r RefFile	Uses the corresponding time of the file specified by the RefFile variable instead of the current time.
Time	Specifies the date and time of the new timestamp in the format MMDDhhmm[YY], where:
MM
Specifies the month of the year (01 to 12).
DD
Specifies the day of the month (01 to 31).
hh
Specifies the hour of the day (00 to 23).
mm
Specifies the minute of the hour (00 to 59).
YY
Specifies the last two digits of the year. If the YY variable is not specified, the default value is the current year.
-t Time	Uses the specified time instead of the current time. The Time variable is specified in the decimal form [[CC]YY]MMDDhhmm[.SS] where:
CC
Specifies the first two digits of the year.
YY
Specifies the last two digits of the year.
MM
Specifies the month of the year (01 to 12).
DD
Specifies the day of the month (01 to 31).
hh
Specifies the hour of the day (00 to 23).
mm
Specifies the minute of the hour (00 to 59).
SS
Specifies the second of the minute (00 to 59).

Thanks
