Output File name

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

How can i create an Output file with name FIle_Price+<timestamp>.txt for the input file name File.txt using a File(FTP) Adapter.

I know we can add timestamp using Adapter specific attributes, but how we can add the word Price to the output file name.

Please suggest to achieve it.

Thanks in advance,

MK

Hi Experts,

If the Input file name is input_11.txt, then i am able to add the Timestamp in the output file name but how can i add the word 'price' to the file name.

output file name can look like input_11_price<timestamp>.txt

Note: i am not developing any objects in the Repository.

Please suggest.

thank you.

Hi MK,

Did you try concatenating the pricr field along with the File ? I think it should work.

Thanks and Regards,

Hi sanjeev,

can u please eloborate your answer. And can we make use of option Temporary file name scheme in Processing parameters of File Adapter to achieve the below requirement

If input file name is File11_IN.txt

then output file name should be File11_Price_IN_<Timestamp>.txt

please suggest.

Thank you,

If ur XI is >= SP 14, then see this

/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/11/10/xi-the-same-filename-from-a-sender-to-a-receiver-file-adapter--sp14

Here in step 3, instead of

String ourSourceFileName = conf.get(key);

use the following

String ourSourceFileName = conf.get(key) + "_Price";

Thanks Prateek,

I am new to XI environment, can u please suggest, how to implement this UDF in the File adapter configuration.

Thank you,

U may take any field from the payload to represent the filename. In the graphical mapping, just create a UDF and copy this code. Now map the UDF to the required target field. So at this moment ur target structure is holding the filename.

Now perform variable substitution with the payload field as the variable and u ll get the required output

Hi Prateek,

the scenario is FIle(FTP) to File(FTP) and the requirement is to move files from(with in same FTP server) the /downlod to /Archive directory. Hence i hav'nt created any data types, message types, mappings.

just did the communication channel configuration to move the files.

please suggest how to implement the UDF.

or can be achieved by using Dyanmic Configuration module :1 *AF_Modules/DynamicConfigurationBean *

I think these requirements should be made clear in the question itself.

In ur case as mentioned in last post, the DynamicConfigurationBean will be helpful.

Hi Mk,

Did you try Variable substitution?

Have a look at the foll links:

Sorry prateek, for not mentioning it earlier.

i have followed the web blog /6400, but the output file name i am getting is INPUT_11_IN.TXT_PRICE_<TIMESTAMP>

but the requirement is INPUT_11_IN_PRICE_<TIMESTAMP>.TXT.

Please suggest to correct it.
