Dynamic File Name

[Former Member]

Hi,

There is a requirement to generate file name dynamically in the receiver end.

Ex: 1) x0000u_test (File Naming convention where 0000 is incremented either sequence or randomly

*any one of them **preferred random *) .

2) x0001u_test

3) x0002u_test

Rules: None of these values are there in the payload.

File name scheme is alphanumeric.

Points to be noted ** Cannot be done in the standard adapter using ADD COUNTER as it has suffix elements attached.

Assumption: Variable substitution will not work either as values are not being generated from payload.

Blogs referred. /people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/11/10/xi-the-same-filename-from-a-sender-to-a-receiver-file-adapter--sp14

Can anyone else throw in some more ideas Or a bit of code for lil more clarity.

User defined function is the only way out ?

Thanking in adv.

***Raj***

Hi Rajesh,

Can u try to write some UDF which uses current time? so that the value changes (like a random number) every time we execute the scenario and the values will be unique, can be used later for file name generation using variable substitution.In this case we dont need any payload.Prior to that create some field on the target side to capture the value from UDF and to divert to Variable in Receiver commmunication channel.

Thanks,

Ram.
