Hi All. I have a requirement wherein a GET service is exposed on IIB.
Let's assume the URL is http(s)://server:port/testURL
The flow will traverse to the testURL directory on the filesystem. The directory structure upto testURL looks like the following:
C:/IIB/Test/ is the parent and contains hundreds of sub-directories among which testURL is one.
Now, there are some files which need to be read by IIB. These files will be present after two sub-directories under the testURL directory. So, the filesystem would like the following:
C:/IIB/Test/testURL/file/check/filename1.txt,filename2.txt (multiple files)
C:/IIB/Test/testURL6/file/check7/filename3.txt
C:/IIB/Test/testURL14/file/check9/filename4.txt,filename5.txt,filename6.txt
and so on...
The directory /file will remain constant constant, but it changes randomly after that (/check or /check7, etc.). Is there any way that I can set the value of OutputLocalEnvironment.Destination.File.Directory to traverse upto /file, after which it will automatically traverse the sub-directories to read the file(s)?
The second query is how can I configure the File Read Node to read multiple files, or atleast not throw a BIP4989E exception whenever it comes across multiple files. |

No. The FileRead node (as the name suggests) is designed to read a single file mid-flow.

You can't - see above.
You might get more positive advice if you shared what exactly you're trying to do. I get you're trying to read a variable number of files from a directory structure but what then? Read the files and make web service calls? Inserts into a database? What?
Also why a web service call to fire this off? Why not a FileInput node (which is designed to handle multiple files looking at the root directory (c:\IIB\Test in your example). What's driving that?
On a more meta level, why IIB? There are other file reading transformational platforms; what's led you to this one?
Better information, better advice.
