File Adapter: Dynamic file name

Question

Hello,
I would like to use a filename like this:
Name.<DOCNUM>.Direction.<Timestamp>
For DOCNUM I use variable substitution. Works fine.
For <Timestamp> I need a different format as the timestamp function
in file adapter create. So I try to set up my timestamp in mapping like
dynamic file name:
DynamicConfigurationKey key1 = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File", "Timestamp");
conf.put(key1, a);
Input a is date function which creates my desired timestamp format. In file adapter I try this:
Name.%DOCNUM%.Direction.%Timestamp%
or
Name.%DOCNUM%.Direction.Timestamp
or
Timestamp
all doesn't work for Timestamp.
So is there a possibility to configure a dynamic filename like this???
Is there a possibility to access dynamic configuration variables in dynamic filename except
the known for filename and directory??
thanks
chris

Answer 1

your file name needs to be
Name.<DOCNUM>.Direction.<Timestamp>
dont use variable substitution. use only dynamic configuration and set the file name
introduce a logic that will create the string
Name.<DOCNUM>.Direction.<Timestamp>
eg. String filename = "Name" + var_docnum + "Direction" + var_timestamp;
then use the dynamic conf code to set the file name and use adapter specific properties in you adapter to retrieve it.
