Inbound and Outbound Archive File Name Pattern
- .dat
- An archived file that is a copy of the payload file. The archive tasks archive only the file and do not change its content.
- .rte
- XML file containing routing information
- .eof
- Empty file indicating the file set is complete
The archive tasks use a specific file name pattern to create the file name for each file. All files in the file set contain the same name, except for the file extension. The file name must be configured using the add transmission definition screen. The file name is configured in the file name definition table. For more information about configuring the file name, see Transmission Definitions Management.
The file name pattern uses substitution patterns to ensure the file names sent to the Gateway outgoing directory are unique. For more information, see File Name Patterns and Custom File Formatters.
A formatter is a Java™ class that generates a custom routing file string. To create a custom routing file, the user must implement a unique formatter class and define the class and routing file schema name. Define the class and routing file schema name on the edit transmission definition screen. For more information about defining the class and routing file schema name, see Transmission Definitions Management.
