HI,

If u want to pick up ur file only starting with S then u can use exclusive mask option in file adapter which will exclude all the file which is not starting with S name.

Refer the below link for more details.

Hi

in the file name field give the file name as S* so it will pick the files with the starting name s.

Hi,

If you want to pick the files from a particular directory starting with a particular filename, then you can use the option like

"s*.xml" as the file name in the option provided in the file adapter.

If it is always going to be xml file the provide "s.xml" if not provide s it will pick all the files starting with s, but you always keep in mind that the input file structure defined in XI should match the file structure.

In the filename give the name as "s.xml" (without quotes) if they have .xml extension. If they have different extension give it as "s.*"
