Configure the inbound channels

The input directory for each file channel must be specified in an IBM® App Connect Enterprise archive property and a corresponding inbound channel configuration.

The IBM App Connect Enterprise archive property determines where the flow looks for files. The channel configuration identifies the mapping configuration. The CPS reference application assigns the directory name where the file was found for ingestion to the inbound channel.

The reference application has the file input channels that are shown in the following table.
Table 1. CPS reference application input channels
Channel Default value
CPA Input ASCII /FTMChan/CPASource_ASCII
CPA Input EBCDIC /FTMChan/CPASource_EBCDIC
CPA ISO Input /FTMChan/CPASource_ISO
