Dynamic Directory in a File to File pass through scenario

[Former Member]

Hi experts.

I have an scenario where I have to move a pdf file from one ftp to another so I wouldnt need repository objects because this can be get it with just a ICO object. The thing is that the target directory must be set dinamically from file name.

¿Can this be got it?

Thanks a lot.

Hi christian,

Message mapping is mandatory to meet this requirement.

or

We can use multiple receivers as said by Ambrish. but the interface will get complicated and the performance goes down if the no of records to be process are more.

or

enhanced receiver determination

i think we can also use context objects or XPATH to achieve this.

so better to create ESR components is the best way to achieve your requirement and make your interface simple.

Hi Bhargava,

<the interface will get complicated and the performance goes down if the no of records to be process are more.>

I already mentioned that it is not a clean solution; just a clumsy design, not complicated at all. I am wondering how will number of records impact performance.

Hi Chico,

If you have AttribMapper Adapter Module (It will come up with AS2 Seeburger Adapter), then it is very very simple.

Please let me know whether you have installed AS2 on your PI Machine?

Thanks everybody for your helpul opionions.

Finally the pdf that must be sent is an adobe form implemented in the backend so we decided to implement this scenario as Proxy to File with the pdf attached in the proxy. With the payload data we can determine with ASMA the final directory and in file channel we just need to use the swap module.

Thanks everybody!

Best regards.

Hi All,

can't we achieve this using java mapping?

just creating dummy data and message types and in the java mapping just copy input payload to output payload. then use the dynamic configuration in java mapping code.

after that we can use the condition in receiver determination.

Hi Christian,

If you do not want to use message mapping at all, then there is a 'dirty' solution.

You can have multiple receivers based on different possible directories. Use context object for File name to determine the receiver (condition in receiver determination) and then use a different adapters to write the file to different directories.

Hope it helps!

NB: For this solution, you must know at design time what file name will correspond to which directory for input to the respective adapter.

Hi Christian,

If you want to use Dynamic Directory which would be decided run time, you need to have mapping.

Hi,

The thing is that the target directory must be set dinamically from file name.

Usually be done by setting the corresponding "adapter specific message attributes" in mapping time. But mapping requires Repository objects.
