    Hi Mohammad,

    As long as content of the file is xml , file extension does not matter.

    You can use sender file adapter to read the file.

    You can use source filename as *.dat.* in sender file adapter.

    Usually the .dat file content will be fixed-length content so :

    • In case if it is fixedlength then apply FCC in you sender file adapter to convert it to xml.
    • If the content is already an xml then no need of FCC.

    Dont go by file extension , first check the content and then proceed.

    Hello Mohammad,

    Normal file channel will do as you already have XML in place.
