Answering your question, the %variable% is used set the directory name dynamically using the concept of Variable Name Substiution.

Refer to the last part of this link to understand this better,

JP,

It means your target directory is creating depending upon your payload. You are using variable substitution in your receiver file adapter.

Check this variable for which field you are creating the dynamic target directory.

This is called variable substitution.

The file name can be filled from values in the payload.

The %variable% will be filled with some values specifed in the cc at runtime.

Hi jp,

suppose you have below file:

<ABC>

<A1>1</A1>

<A2>

<A21>2</A21>

<A21>3</A21>

</A2>

</ABC>

Suppose you want your filename to have the data of node A21 which is having 3, then in ID, you will have in variable substitution table :

Variable Name: variable

Payload: ABC,1,A2,1,A21,2

Then on activating everything and rerunning your scenario, you will get your target file with filename as 3.txt in your this scenario.

Thanks,
