Preserve white space in reciver File adapter

[Naama]

Hi all,

I need to read a file that has a field seperator,

when the XI transforms the file into XML it delete the spaces in the field,

is there a way to tell the adpter to preserve those white spaces?

Thanks,

Naama.

Hi,

in a Sender Adapter use the parameter:

NameA.fieldContentFormatting

○ Specify nothing to ensure that the value remains unaltered.

In a Receiver Adapter it should work with:

NameA.fieldFixedLengths

Hi,

Please use

NameA.fieldContentFormatting

○ Enter trim to remove all the leading and subsequent blanks for a value found. This is the default.

○ Specify nothing to ensure that the value remains unaltered.

is it the file sender adapter or file receiver adapter?

if file sender then use the option mentioned in the earlier post, else if it the receiver file adapter note that if in your mapping you have set N number of whitespaces etc, it will be preserved automatically by the receiver file adapter.
