Filename for FTP AS400

[Former Member]

Hi,

I need to send a flatfile via FTP to an AS400. The filepattern is:

RECEIVE.WXYZhhMMdd.

The process is: Reading flatfile from Windows-Server, sending it to AS400.

There is no mapping involved where I could create this filename. When I use the standard functionality "add timestamp" from the file adapter, I get as a file name

RECEIVEtimestamp.WXYZ..

Is there any possibility to set the filename without going through the repository?

Hi,

There is no direct way that to send the file name to AS400 with Timestamp.

But you could use Variable Substitution parameters to pass any details in receiver communication channel.

You can use the time stamp from message header and pass it,

target file name = RECEIVE.WXYZ%Var1%

*Variable Substitution parameters *

Var1 = message:TimeSent etc.

I dont think we have this kind of funtionality in PI 7.0, may be soon in next version PI 7.1.

Do use some external application if available to do this.

Pls reward if found helpful.
