File adapter: how to change filename

[Former Member]

Hi all,

In my scenario I need to add specific time stamp (current date actually) to filename when it's copied to target system. In the properties of file adapter there is an option to add time stamp, but I need it to be in format YYMMDD.hhmm, while XI default suggests another one. How can I solve the problem? Use variable substitution or m.b. dynamic configuration? In addition want to say that there is no any mapping in the scenario.

Thank you.

Finally mapping was allowed. So the date was generated during mapping stage, it was used with variable substitution and deleted from target msg in content conversion.

Thank you all!

A XSLT/Java mapping can solve ur problem

No need of any Graphical Mapping

Hi,

Better to with Dynamic Configuration in Mapping itself.

Override the file name in the Mapping and get it at the receiver side using Variable Substitution.

If you are with XI 3.0 SP =21, then just click the chekbox of File Name in the Receiver CC. it will automatically get the file name and store it to the target dir. (with the same name that you gave in Mapping using DC)

Sorry missed to read that you are not using any Mapping.

Then in this case, it is better to use AM at sender side and override the sender file name.

U cant use dynamic config as there is no mapping. In variable substitution, accessing the date in ur required format seems to be a problem. U can write an OS script and change ur filename at that moment
