How do I continually append to a file with a file output node?
Only options given are to replace, fail if exists, etc. |

Hi,
is it possible to append records to an existing file, which was already been closed?
Using Message Broker File Extender this was possible, but I can't get it work for the new FileOutput Node in WMB 6.1.
Use case is: a flow is triggerd on a daily basis and needs to append severall records to an existing file in /file/xyz/out.
The file should not be replaced or archived - it is the same file, which will increase over the time.
Thanks for any hints! |

Just noticed this question. The answer is no, not really.
You can achieve something similar with a flow that copies the output file to a new file and appends a few more records, but that's a pretty horrible work-around. The V6.1 file nodes are not designed to update existing files, but instead to create new files.

Hey, just a suggestion..
Can you use Trace node, and trace file here? They will append for you. |
