I am using IO Adapter version 4.1.1 with maintenance pack2. We are trying to read a file from a directory on WAN to the local directory and also put the data in oracle database.
As a first step i tried to simply pickup the file from poll directory, read he content, publish the connonical and write it to a local drive. I was able to poll the file and publish the document but could not write to a directory. Using document tracker was checked to see if the documente as correct. I also tried creating the file with a constant value for the field.
Here is what i am doing.
My document has only one field name “FileRecData”.
For File Write operation
In the option tab i have for
data to output : ${FileRecData}
File name to write : c:\complete\temp\output.txt
In input tab the field defined is FileRecData
In output tab the field defined is File_Name
In Integration component
The value from cononical was assigned to FileRecData.
Even though i assign constant value to above file no file is created.
If you are only using the drive name in you path you would use double back slash. Let’s say the output file name is “output.txt” and you want to create the file on drive let’s say “c:” . The path you would specify is
c:\output.txt.
Actually you could have represented the directory in following ways
c:\output.txt
c:/output.txt
All three of them will work.
But if you want to create the file in a subdirectory which is a subdirectory of other directory, then you need to use forward slash to specify the path. In my case i have a directory named “temp” in the directory “complete” on c: drive.
The file will be created if i represent the path as
c:/complete/temp/output.txt
but following representation will also work.
c:\complete/temp/output.txt (please note the forward slash for path).
or i beleive following representation will also work
