Advanced Selection of Source file (maintaining order of selecting files)

[Former Member]

Hi,

We have a scenarion where MDM dropping different files at two locations where PI needs to pick from, say Fold1 and Fold2

we can use Advanced selection of Source file option to pick the file from more than one folder.

but how can we maintain the order of picking the file.? will the option Advanced selection of Source file help us in this case?

Thanks,

Saravanan

You can set in sender CC the parameter Processing Sequence = By Date

After that use Quality of service as EOIO and provide one queue name. Use same queue name in the receiver comm channel as well. So files will be picked by the date of the file and messages will be passed to SNC system in "first in first out" basis.

● Processing Sequence (for transport protocol File System (NFS))

If you used placeholders when specifying the file name, define the processing sequence of the files:

○ By Name: Files are processed alphabetically by file name.

○ By Date: Files are processed according to their time stamp in the file system, starting with the oldest file.

Hi,

You can configure the sender communication channel as below:

1. Processing Sequence - Set it as "By Date"

2. Quality of Service - Change it to "Exactly Once In Order" and give a queue name.

This would help the files to process the files one after the other in a sequence.
