dynamic file name in communication channel

[Former Member]

hello

is it possible to give in the communication channel, under the 'File Access Parameters', a dynamic file name?

to get it out of a table or something?

Thanks

Hi Kfir !

You can use variable sustitution or dynamic configuration to set the output filename (and directory).

Hi,

Yes its bit possible to use the dynamic file name at File access paramters

The dynamic filename generation concept is as follows.

In your filename field. just give a variable with % symbols. (eg: %file% ).

Now, under the option Variable Name Substitution, you can give how the value has to be created.

It can be your interface name, sender service name, etc or it can be some value dynamically from your payload.

For the former, your give

message:interface_name ,etc

and for the payload part you give,

Payload: "your element root which u wanna acecss"

Just check this link out,

And read the contents under variable substitution and it will help you understand the concepts better.

If you have any clarifications, do get back,
