How can ftp-adapter override the name rules

Question

I have a ftp adaptor, which generate filenames with the following rule NA<%time%>.txt, but I would rather have it be stamped with a more meaninful filename ex NA<accountnumber>.txt.
I am new to Interconnect, IStudio and ftp adaptors...so I have no experience in this. I
I have done some research, and I realise that I might have to overwrite the The FileSenderCustomizer Interface more specifically the generateFilename method.
The question is really, where and how do I do this?
Thanks

Move to Integration - Adapters => Integration - Adapters

Answer 1

An example of a ftp-adapter that will generate a filename based on a value in the file. The file contains CustomerListRecord which again contains multiple Records of Customers, which then contains the actual values.
import java.util.Date;
import java.util.ListIterator;
import java.util.Vector;
import oracle.oai.agent.adapter.sdk.Agent;
import oracle.oai.agent.adapter.sdk.AttributeObject;
import oracle.oai.agent.adapter.sdk.MessageObject;
import oracle.oai.agent.adapter.transport.TransportMessage;
public class SlfNaskCustFileSender {
     private final static String objectName = "SLFCustFileSenderStripped";
     private final String fileNameExtension = ".c15";
     private final String keyMasterRecord = "CustomerListRecord";
     private final String keyRecords = "Records";
     private final String keyRecordField = "apar_id";
     public static void main(String args[]) {
          System.out.println("Its alive: " + objectName);
     public String generateFileName(Agent agent, String rule, String app, String partitition, Date time,
               MessageObject mobj, AttributeObject aobj) {
          // Default filename. Add random element just in case.
          String fileName = "NAC" + (Math.random() * 100) + fileNameExtension;
          // Picking up the buntnumber.
          AttributeObject aoCustListRecords = (AttributeObject) mobj.get(keyMasterRecord);
          Object o = aoCustListRecords.get(keyRecords);
          if (o instanceof Vector) {
               Vector v = (Vector) o;
               ListIterator iter = v.listIterator();
               while (iter.hasNext()) {
                    Object x = iter.next();
                    if (x instanceof AttributeObject) {
                         AttributeObject aoX = (AttributeObject) x;
                         fileName = aoX.get(keyRecordField) + fileNameExtension;
          return fileName;
     public void customizeTransportMessage(Agent agent, TransportMessage transportMessage, MessageObject mobj,
               AttributeObject aobj) {
}
