File Receiver Connector

The file receiver connector creates a new file with a user-specified file name in a given file path or directory and performs a write operation to that file. This process is used to retrieve data from a specific source and transfer this data to the target file.

Required Connector Properties​

  • File Path: This field specifies the directory or folder where the created file will be located. It represents the location of the file and defines the path within the file system.

  • File Name: This field is where the desired file name to be created is written.

  • Add Timestamp: This variable appends a Timestamp to the file name when writing the file. For example, it saves a file named "mipFile" as "mipFile_20231129134819022".

  • Add Message ID: This variable appends a MessageID variable to the file name when writing the file. For example, it saves a file named "mipFile" as "mipFile_'specifiedMessageId'".

  • File Encoding: It refers to the method used to represent characters and encode textual information in a file. It determines how characters are mapped to binary data so that computers can interpret and display text correctly.

  • Temp Enable: It first defines the file to be written in a different location, and after the definition and file writing process is completed, it moves the file to its original location. This process prevents the file from being read by another service before the writing process is completed.
