Hello Amit,

Yes. You can achieve this but only using File - NFS Protocol.

A new file is created for each document. The file name is extended with a counter, which is inserted before the file name extension (for example, default002.file). This selection is only available for the File System (NFS) transport protocol.

Make specifications for Counter Definition:

Prefix

Specify one or more characters that you want to add before the counter in the file name.

Format

Specify the first counter to be used. It must be a valid integer number. Leading zeros are permitted.

Step

Specify the counter increment.

Mode

Specify when the counter is to be added.

After First File

The counter is added when the file name is used unaltered for the first time.

Thanks

Hi pothana, this is about adding the counter ,but I need to reset the counter on every new day.

[former_member472138]

According to my previous update you can add a counter for every file . Lets say nnn001.txt then nnn002.txt then nnn003.txt in a particular day.

Dont understand if not this is what your requirement. May be you can add here with an example, so that some one would help you out.

Hi,

If i am correct u r requirement is : Day one : 17112010xxx_001.xml

17112010xxx_002.xml

17112010xxx_003.xml

next day 18112010xxx_001.xml

18112010xxx_002.xml

The counter is reset to initial if any above variants changes...

This is functionality work with file protocol NFS only.

Hi Ashu,

My problem is same as you said but date is not coming from payload ,so how I can set that in the name of XML file...?

[former_member192079]

Hi,

Date value can be created in UDF in mapping, map it to some dummy target field(may be end of u r payload). then use variable substitution to read the last field name as FileName in receiver file adapter. Content conversion u need to add more parameter to remove the last dummy field to written to your target file content... ( NameA.fixedLengthTooShortHandling = Cut )
