Sender File Adapter Wildcard

[Former Member]

Is it possible to get PI to traverse an unknown file system searching for files to drag in through the file adapter FTP ?

I know the file adapter can be configured for multiple sorce directories, but can it be configured to search any directory with a file structure.

I have tried a * in the directory setting like this - /apps/inbound/*/

- The idea being anydirectory under inbound should be checked but this reads the * as a literal

I have tried changing the filename to be */TargetFile

- This work as far as PI finds the file, but must pass the actual filename to another function and only passes TargetFile and so the adapter complains it cannot find it again...

Note.

Configuring multiple directories will work but i dont want to reconfigure each time a new directory is created in this structure, And the structure will change regularly and I would prefer not to script it in unix. I am using FTP as a transfer protocol ....

Richard,

You said NO to all the features that XI provides. I think writing your own adapter or enahncing the existing adapter is the only choice remaining..!! After all we need to change somethings to make things work as they are. Otherwise, custom development is the only solution.
