Use this dialog to define the message-to-file transfer parameters for this dispatcher.
File Name (required)
The name of the template to use when writing the file or files from the
message-to-file transfer. A message-to-file transfer could generate several
files. Depending upon how your application works, you may want to define
this template with one or more pound signs (#) that are replaced with
a sequence number for each file.
Example: If multiple files would be overwritten before the application can process the data, you should define the File Name using the # variable.
End-of-File
Method
The method the connector uses to distinguish the end of each file (provided
that you specified one or more # variables for File
Name above); one of the following:
Count
Specifies that the end-of-file occurs after n messages have been received. The n is
specified under End-of-File Count
below.
Time
Specifies that the end-of-file occurs after n
minutes
have elapsed.
Null Message
Specifies that the end-of-file occurs when the connector receives a zero-length
message.
End-of-File
Count (required if Count
or Time
is selected)
The number of messages received or the number of minutes that elapsed before
the end-of-file occurs; the value specified here corresponds to the Count and Time
fields above.
Path
Location for the output file or files.
Transfer
Mode
Whether the message-to-file message transfer should occur in text or binary
mode.
New
Line (checkbox)
If checked, and Transfer Mode above
is set to Text, the message-to-file dispatcher adds a newline character
to the end of each message/file record if one does not already exist.
