MQSeries.net :: View topic - Use FileInput Node to Split a Large File into Small

Hi,

I have a requirement in broker 8, where i am receiving a huge Copybook each Copy book request message contains many copybooks. I have created a message set for the same.

The file is dropped at a location from where my flow picks it up, we have to split the big file into smaller chunks, that has to be configurable.

My initial approach was to use fixed length option on the FileInput Node, it was working fine, but it doesn't allow me to make the length property configurable, even if i promote the property to the flow.

My next approach was to use a compute node parse the messages and split accordingly, but when the first message is propagated, it throws an "Invalid Wire Format".

The reason i want to split this message is due to the fact that the request file is huge and i have to process each request, so i have a connecting flow, running on multi-threads to read and transform each CCB within.

Can someone please suggest me a solution for the same.

PS: The message set is working fine when i use a MQInput - MQOutput
But doesnt work when its FileInput - MQOutput

Regards,
