Hi Praveen,

Does file Adaptor process files with other extensions like .pdf or .xsl..

I have tried on receiver side for creation of files with .pdf. The file will be generated but we cannot open the file.

Obviously, it will not be opened as the content might not a PDF format one.

FileAdapter doesnt convert the format as expected by the the PDF by just giving an extension in the channel parameters. You have to do some conversion as per PDF Schema either in mapping or using a custom adapter module.

In general, You can save a file stream with any extension.

Note: Avoid cross posting as per the Forum Rules.

Yes XI will process. FileAdapter doesnt bother about the extensions. The adpater will process according to the configuartion parameters in File Communication Channel.

Hi Varun

If you want to process the file and create the file on the target directory with any name, with any extension without any mapping, you can do using the FTP option, but you can not use the NFS option.

The file will be created using the NFS option also but it can not be open even you download from the NFS dircetory.

Thanks

Hi ,

XI can pick the file but for processing we need to write custom adaptor modules . For example on the receiver side u just try creating a file with .pdf extension. It will be created but when we try to open that file it will be in unrecognized format and it will not be able to process. Same thing with other file extension.

if it is an xml file then extension must be .xml ,what application has .b02 extension, by the way just configure file scenario, it will not take more than an hour.

Hi,

the content of the file is in XML, but the file extension is .B02..... so will the XI(file Adapter) process the File.
