I am using WMB V61 on AIX. Can some one help me to under this statement in the info center regarding mqsiarchive folder for output.
"Files that are processed successfully by the FileOutput node are moved to the mqsiarchive subdirectory if the FileOutput node's Output file action property is set to Archive and Replace Existing File or Time Stamp, Archive and Replace Existing File."
The file output node creates the file and put it into the output folder. These files are sitting there waiting to be processed by other applications or another message flow. So when will they be archived?
I did some testing an hour ago , with the setup "Archive and Replace Existing File" specified in my output. The output files are still there. Did I miss anything? |

Hi,
If you change the name of the file dynamically, this has no effect. If the file name is same, the file will be moved to mqsiarchive directory and new file will be created.

The next time the flow runs and produces (or intends to produce) another file of the same name. It says here:
| Quote: |
In Output file action, specify how the file is to be processed when it is complete. Choose from:
Replace Existing File, the default, to specify that if a file of the same name exists in the output directory, the new file replaces it.
Create File, to specify that a new file is created, and that if a file of the same name exists in the output directory, the new file remains in the transit directory and an exception is produced.
Archive and Replace Existing File, to specify that if any file of the same name exists in the output directory, it is moved to the archive directory before the new file is placed in the output directory. If any file of the same name exists in the archive directory, an exception is produced.
Time Stamp, Archive and Replace Existing File, to specify that if a file of the same name exists in the output directory, its name is augmented with a time stamp (a character-based version of the date and time) before being moved to the archive directory. |
So the files will sit there until the flow tries to replace them, at which point the output file action will be honoured.
