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 cant figure out how to reference the orderId field.

Any help would be appreciated.

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 defintion run, the TextFile Adapter exports multiple files. For example 1000.txt, 1001.txt, …

Attached you´ll find a simple example.
