hey

i guess it should be possible to know the File size by using Adapter specific mesage attributes.

have a look at Satish's reply in the following thread

Hey Aamir,

the file size ASMA for an input flat file will give you the file size of the flat file, not the size of the XML message.

If the input is a flat file, there is no exact way to calculate the size of the generated XML file, since it depends on many factors (number of fields in the recordsets, size of the name of the fields, number of records, etc).

As a rule of thumb, generally ppl use XML file size = 2 x Flat file size, in order to do sizing calculations etc. But again, that is just an estimation, not a precise calculation.
