HI Sahana,

could you please explain the scenario in lil more details.

As mentioned by experts its possible by java mapping also.

Will there be always only two files or you want to merge a set of files.

thanks and regards,

Hello,

In the file sender adapter, there is an option there called Additional File(s). It allows you to select more than one file (the next file(s) would be an attachment). You can then read the attachment in graphical mapping or java mapping.

You can then read the attachment in graphical mapping or java mapping.

Can you please provide me more input on this.How it can achieved?

Hi Sahana,

I think you can do this by scheduling the channel in proper manner..

first pick the first A and crate two files from that file1 & file 2

then pick the second file (file B) and add to first file in append mode(in file1)

then pick the second file( file2) and append it to first file(file1).

for this that can possible...

Hi Shana,

In my opinion, as Amit Srivastava suggest the best way is with BPM.

You have other options, but they are worse:

1. Using java mapping if you are sure that the two files come together or you know when throw the scenario when the two files had arrived.

2. Make two scenarios. The first one puts the first file in one path and the second file is moved to that path in the before file in append mode. The second sceario takes this new megued file and it does the mapping.

Hello,

I don't think that it would be possible without BPM.

But i am not sure why u want to avoid using BPM for this collect pattern requirement? Any specific reasons?

Thanks
