Target Filename generation

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I have to generate the target file with same name as source file.

There is a requirement to pass the file from one location to other location. There is no conversion logic, so that I’m not using any mapping and interface mapping:

I have source file name structure: PAYSW_??????_??????.

The same file name I should use for target structure.

Thanks,

Venu.

Venu,

In the sender file adapter, Select <b>ADAPTER SPECIFIC IDENTFIERS --> FILENAME</b> Do the same in the receiver file adapter.

Now the filename of source will be the filename of the target file.

Hi Bhavesh,

If the source and target messages are going to be a same file, can mapping(both message & interface) be avoided?

Kindly give more details about that and if possible a demo blog link.

Thanks & Regards,

Jai Shankar.

Hi Jai,

Yes they can be avoided.

These are the steps you need to do,

1. Create a Dummy Datatype.

2. create corresponding message Type.

3. Create 2 message interfaces -- one inbound and one outbound with the same messagetype created in step 2.

No Message mapping and Interface mapping.

Now, as you have the same message type in the Source and Target message Interface , you do not need to have a message mapping.

So, you file adapter will pick up the file --> Receiver determiantion will take place --> Interface Determiantion --> ( No Interface mapping ) --> Technical Routing --> Message (file) sent out of XI.
