[FileAdapter] Reading meta data

[Former Member]

Hey,

is it possible to read system meta data of a file that should be read?

I would like to know the date/time the file was created on the file system.

thanks

No such direct option available in XI. XI can only read the data send to it. U may write some application at sender side that captures this information and store in a file. This application can run as OS command before message processing at file sender

Yes

See this: "Run Operating System Command Before/After Message Processing"
