File receiver: Create empty file named "start.txt" at end of process

[Former Member]

Hello,

When my file adapter finish the generation of file at the receiver server I want to create another empty file at the same directory named "start.txt". The use of that file if for a scheduled task of OS that only starts a process if start.txt file have been created (the process delete that file).

How can I do that? I've tried with OS command after precessing but that's for the XI OS not the receiver system SO...

Then I've seen that I can use ftp command but there isn't ftp command to create a file... only to transfer files.

Hi Marshal,

Apart from the file generated by file adapter,we can generate the file named start.txt in specified location of the server through Custom Module.

Write simple custom module which generates a empty file named start.txt and cal the module in module chain of receiver side.

You can achive this using script.Write a script/bat to creat a file using ftp connection as well in the script and place in xi machine. Using OS command to call the script before the process ends.

Unix OS

Microsoft OS
