appending and add time stamp at a time........

[Former Member]

Hi all,

i am working on a scenario...

it is file based..no mapping and bpm can be used.

I need to pick up file through xi and append it and put in the target with time stamp to it.

we can achieve this if mapping or bpm is allowed.....

But,in file processing we can use only one option at a time.....

I found a way:

scenario one: files will be appened and kept in a temparory folder

using another scenario we will pick up the appeneded file and add time stamp and keep in target structure...

but i dont think this is advisable...

please suggest me any other ways to achieve this...(can run operating system command be helpfull??)

thanks in advance..

Regards,

Kiran.

hey,

As swarup said...at a time both appending and giving the file a time stamp is not possible..

probably you can try with these...

HI,

Yes you are right, Appending and adding Time Stamp will not be possible simultaneously.

Refer - this could help you

Dynamic Filename with TimeStamp

/people/william.li/blog/2006/04/18/dynamic-configuration-of-some-communication-channel-parameters-using-message-mapping

But some how you have to use mapping for it. Then if its allowed to use the mapping then as you have suggested, should have to go for two scenarios. No alternative,

Probably also you can try with Customized Adapter Module for this.

Hi kiran,

I suggest you to map the target source structure to the required filename u want, like for example ur filename is input26062008.txt means to the target structure u perform the following mapping

constant (input) concat with currentdate function --> concat with constant .txt --> map this concat to target. So u will get the filename u expected with the time.

Then in the communication channel u select the mode as append. Now ur requirement will get solve i think so. plz try.
