How to send multiple files by using File Adapter

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I am trying with the scenario by using the File Adapter.

As per my requirement, I need to send multiple files (like FileA.xml, FileB.pdf, FileC.txt, FileD.html etc) to the Target system.

I have seen ‘Additional Files’ option, in Sender Communication channel. But I am not sure how to give the parameters, in case if I would like to send the multiple files as mentioned above.

Could someone please explain about the steps, that I need to proceed further?

Thanks in advance.

Sreeram,

Thank you for your reply. I had tried with the option File*.xml. It is working fine.

But in case, if I need to process with the input files (like intest.xml, checkone.html, testthis.pdf etc)..i.e the input file names are different, then how i need to proceed to give the file name parameters in the Sender communication channel.

Thanks

sree,

then you need to use advanced file selection option in file adapter. where you can select the different file name and ignore all other file names which you dont require.

Sree,

If your requirement is to send multiple files with unique file names you could do the following:

In 'File Access Parameters' click the 'Advanced Selection for Source file' and mention all the files you want picked up[along with the directory] in the table that appears.

Do try and let me know.

Anand,

Thank you for your reply.

My requirement is to send the multiple files like inone.xml, intwo.txt etc. In the Sender Communication channel, I had provided ' inone.xml ' in the File Name field under the "File System Access Parameters" section.

Next I had chosen "Additional Files" option as Checked and provided ' intwo.txt ' in the field name of "File List".

After activation, i have provided those two files (inone.xml, intwo.txt) in the Source folder. It is not processing? What could be the problem ?

Thanks

Hi Sree,

Do you want to transfer multiple files together in one shot or is the problem with the naming where in in different cases the filenames are going to be different and the receiver channel needs to put the name accordingly ?

If latter is the problem, you can use variable substitution for file naming....

Renjith,

I would like to send all the files at a time to the target system. So could you please suggest the steps to proceed further.
