How to set the write TextFile Adapter file name was created by FlowHeater-Team
Hello,

I am trying to figure out how to set the write TextFile Adapter file name to a field from the Read Text file adaptor. Can you explain this or direct me to a URL that shows and example.

I have a field called OrderId, and would like the WRITE file to be named $OrderId$.txt . But I cannot figure out how to reference the orderId field.

Any help would be appreciated.

Tim

Hi Tim,

You just have to use the Set Parameter Heater and set the desired Parameter “$orderid$” with the value of the certain field.
In the TextFile Adapter you can use “$orderid$.txt” as file name. The TextFile Adapter replace the parameter $orderid$ with the current value.

Note: In case the parameter is changed during the definition run, the TextFile Adapter exports multiple files. For example 1000.txt, 1001.txt, …

Attached you´ll find a simple example.
