Data file names and locations

Message Broker data files are named for the type of information that they store.

Data file names

Data files have a .dat file extension.

Table 1. Inbound data files
File name	Usage
`input-yyyymmdd-tttt.dat`	Messages received by the inbound message reader from the source system
`success-yyyymmdd-tttt.dat`	Source system messages successfully processed by the inbound message manager
`reject-yyyymmdd-tttt.dat`	Source system messages rejected by the inbound message manager

Table 2. Outbound data files
File name	Usage
`input-yyyymmdd-tttt.dat`	Data files created by the outbound message manager
`success-yyyymmdd-tttt.dat`	Messages accepted by the source system
`reject-yyyymmdd-tttt.dat`	Messaged rejected by the source system

Data file locations

The data files are located in the \data\interface subdirectory for the instance. Examples shown here are for the production instances; conventions are the same for the test instance.

${InstanceRoot}\prod\data\interface1\inbound - Contains inbound data (.dat) files

${InstanceRoot}\prod\data\interface1\outbound - Contains outbound data (.dat) files

If there are multiple interfaces, each interface has its own subdirectory located in the instance directory to which it is associated. For example, if your organization has two inbound message readers and two inbound message managers, you see the subfolders shown in the examples, with these additions:

${InstanceRoot}\prod\data\interface2 - Contains data (.dat) files for the second interface
