File naming pattern

The summary of data delivered task places the following files in the target directory:
  • Summary of data delivered report
  • Routing
  • End of file
To name these files, the task uses the file naming pattern from the transmission definition configuration. The file naming pattern uses a substitution algorithm to produce unique file names for each summary of data delivered report. Distinct file extensions are added to this name to generate the complete summary of data delivered file set.
This example is a sample file naming pattern: 
DATASUMMARYFILE.D%DTyyyyMMdd%.T%DTHHmm%
This pattern creates a file name that includes the date and time that the summary of data delivered report file was created. For a report that was generated on 29 May 2019 at 1:41:23:497 PM, the file name that is created is: 
DATASUMMARYFILE.D20190529.T1341
The file naming pattern does not include the file extension, so the task adds file extensions to each file it creates. It delivers the following files to the target directory.
  • DATASUMMARYFILE.D20190529.T1341.txt
  • DATASUMMARYFILE.D20190529.T1341.rte
  • DATASUMMARYFILE.D20190529.T1341.eof

The text file contains the summary of data delivered report in an ASCII format. The RTE file contains the routing information that describes how to deliver the file to its destination. The EOF file is always written last and is used to indicate that the other files were delivered and are ready for processing.
