Hi,
Is there a way to rename a file in the target system with datetimestamp suffix using Transfer definition file.
For ex: Source file name is purchaseorder_201212010102120003.dat and Target file name should be PO_<YYYYMMDDHHMISSssss>.dat with the date time being the time at which the file was delivered in the target applications.
Regards |

What does the file-transfer command documentation say about filenames?

| I couldnt find much help with documentation.. All I can see if -df option can be used to specify the file name.. but my requirement is to dynamically construct the file name based on the datetime the file is actually delivered.[/quote] |

I'm thinking that you could create a batch script that makes use of the date/time provided by your o/s's environment variables.

In general, I have some concerns about the post processing scripts to rename the file after the transfer is successful..
If there is an option using which FTE transfer process itself can write the file in the required name, it would be good.. But I guess this feature is still not yet in the product.. |

Not sure of your exact business process, but if you used a Resource Monitor to trigger the transfer you can pull in the datetimestamp and format it to your needs with variable substitution.
Otherwise, like Bruce said you will need to do some post-transfer scripting to achieve this. |
