xDI

Hi,

I've got a XDI mapping who generate a flat file with several columns (10)

I want to add on the top of this file a header line with a different number of column like the name of the file and the current date. Have you got any idea of how to do ?

I also want to rename this generated file with a calculate name (with the current date for example). I don't understand how can I use a variable on the metadata physical name of the file. How can I rename a generated file on the mapping ?

Thank's for your help

Quentin

Hi Quentin,

To achieve this, you can:

1.Create a Mapping 

2.Specify the name of the file with the above syntax

%x{md:formatDate('yyyyMMdd-HHmmss')}x%.csv

3. Create a Process, with the Mapping and File>WriteTxFile action

Drag a drop the File metadata on WriteTxtFile action

Select "Text Write Append" > Before (to add a header, After to add a footer)

In the Expression Editor window, enter the text of the header line inserted

The result

Best regards,
