Dynamic taget directory usinf Filename

[Former Member]

Hi all

I have a requirement in which I have to Dynamically choose target directory depending on the filename??

Example

If File name is FI08.txt ,it should be posted to following folder

server\Test\<FileName>. If it has deiiferent file name it should be posted to different directory.

I am usind a simple file to file interface without using IR.

So there is no Mapping involved.

Is there any other solution possible without using Variable Substitution.

Hello,

About Solution, you need not have to go for Dynamic Target Directory

You can use the Variable substitution concept here.

In the Target directory pass the %Var1%

and use Var1 ---> payload:<fieldName>

Refer to the last part of this link to understand this better,

For dynamic configuration you can also refer below link

Hi Abhishek,

You can write a module using Java EJBs to achieve what you want. When you read the file, read it's name and write it on file. When you receiver file adapter creates the file, choose the directory by reading the name from the file.

Variable substitution :

When you specify the target directory and file name schema, you now have the option of setting variables and defining them in a table. The variables are replaced by elements from the XML structure at runtime.

Contrary to the description in the documentation, you cannot yet replace with attributes from the XI message header. Do not use the prefix during variable substitution
