File name change with FTP backup

[Former Member]

Hi everyone,

I would like to know if there is any chance to change the filename when the FTP adaptor is doing a backup. There is a sender communication channel that makes a backup, the thing is that I would like to change the backup file name at the beginning, for example introducing a letter, in this way:

ORIGINAL FILE: FILE.txt

BACKUP FILE: AFILE.txt

I would not like to add extra configuration for this, is it possible to do it in a simple way?

Thanks a lot

Hi,

You can do it calling a os command in your communcation channel and executing a remote script to copy original file to backupfile. After that, processing mode could be detele .

Hi,

I am trying to use some Unix Commands in order to change the file name, but it does not work.

I am taking a file with a sender communication channel and processing it via Archive. Then I use the Run Operating System Command Before or after Message Processing, like this (&f represents the corresponding name of file, and A is a letter to introduce, it must be at the beginning of the file):

&mv &f A&f

I have also tried with command &cp

When I execute this, the file does the backup, but does not change the file name, and I only get a warning in the runtime workbench. I am not able to see anything else.

What can I do?

Thanks a lot

You have can handle this through OS command (after processing)in sender communication channel.
