Dynamic configuration of Receiver FTP File channel

[Former Member]

Hi,

We need to configure Receiver FTP File channel for FTP server, Directory, Filename, User Id and Password dynamically at runtime. We have blogs wherein this has been explained for HTTP receiver channel though.

Also, if the solution is to send the configuration details as a part of the message, can we achieve the same WITHOUT passing these details as a part of the message ?

I appreciate your early response.

Thanks & Regards

Have look at these threads..

Even if you pass these parameters in the payload, i beleive parameters like FTP server , uname , pwd cannot be dynamically set(using variable substitution feature)at runtime. Directory/filename can be substituted thoe.

Hi,

If you are not going to send the details in message, then how are u planning to derive the dynamic values. If you provide that then it will be easier to get the solution.

Thanks for the input. From the architecture perspective, since these FTP details are one time information, is it advisable to ask the source data to have them everytime, as a part of the message ? Also, it is not advisable to send these FTP details to target system, as a part of the message, everytime, since, they won't require that.

Hence, Is there anyway wherein we can get these from a lookup/property file and configure the channels, without populating them in either the source or the target message ?

Hi Ganesh,

I think an Adapter Module can come to your rescue. Get the channel details in the module and manipulate it.

Go thro the following blog and its comments for dynamic configuration:
