Filename name at receiving system should be same as sending system.

[nkr1shna]

Hello Friends,

My scenario is to send XML files from one FTP site to another. Contents of the file will remain same in the receiving system.

I have created same data types for sending and receiving systems. Mapping has been created which is one to one. I have created Interface Mapping.

Now in the receiving communication channel, can I give same filename as receiving system? ( sending system generates files with different names) which needs to be moved to destination FTP site.

What configurations needs to be done in File Adapter at the receiving end.

Your valuable inputs / idea / suggestions / clues are highly valued.

Best Regards,

Hello Chilla,

You mentioned dummy in the filename, can you please let me know what should come under filename in the receiving channel..

Again step 3 is bit confusing, what that java code will get inserted..

Many thanks for your quick response.

Hi,

As you want to use the same file name from source to target, no need for any code as shown in Michal's blog.

Just do this,

1. In sender and receiver file adapter --> Select Adapter Specific Identifiers --> FileName.

2. In the receiver file adapter , for the filename give some dummy value

The source filename will not be used a sthe target filename.

Hi,

yes , you have to give dummy filename , any one yaar, give like Dummy.

step 3.

you have to create a UDF , map from source node root to target root node.

use the same code to get the source file name into payload, this will be send to target node.

i hope it is clear.

Hi,

As you are using XI as a mere FTP with no mapping , you can use Dummy message Interface name etc in the ID while creating the ConfigurationScenario.

Look into this blog to understand what I meant.

Hi,

1. Is XI Actiong as a mere FTP? In that case no need for any IR content. Look at this blog to understand how XI can transfer files without any IR content itself,

/people/william.li/blog/2006/09/08/how-to-send-any-data-even-binary-through-xi-without-using-the-integration-repository

2. To have the same source filenaame as target side,

In sender file adapter --> Select Adapter Specific identifiers --> FileName

In the receievr file adapter --> Select Adapter Specific identifiers --> FileName

In the recevier file adapter for the FileName give some dummy valuue. in the runtime the filename will be taken as the source filename.
