Inbound CSV file containing the date in the name

Question

Dear all,
I have a very small problem on the import file process.
I have configure a new SLD with the following pattern
pluton\edi\B1I_CCO\In\QC_ROUT_*.TXT (this is a DSV file).
I have defined a bizstep reading these files but the problem is that the file name contains the date.
I have read in the documentation that a function exists in B1i (page 14 of the Ref2).
So I have indicated as :
- Identification Method: File Name
- Identification Parameter : substring(filename,0,7)
- Identifier : QC_ROUT
But it does not work.
Do you notice something wrong in it?
thank you for your help.

Hi Damien,
Please find more explanation of using the "identification parameter" for file inbound in following segment:
Identification Method = u201C File Name u201D
The Scenario Step is subscribed to the incoming file in case the name of the file (without extension) is equal the string in the field Identifier. You can use the field Identification Parameter to define a substring. In this field you can define the position (e.g. 2) which triggers B1if to compare the filename from this position only or even position and length separated by comma (e.g. 2,3) which triggers B1if to compare this particular substring only. Sample: The file u201C test.xml u201D will trigger the Scenario Step in the following cases:
Identifier = u201C test u201D
Identifier = u201C est u201D and Identification Parameter = u201C 2 u201D
Identifier = u201C es u201D and Identification Parameter = u201C 2,2 u201D
please enter the following:
- Identification Method: File Name
- Identification Parameter : 1,7
- Identifier : QC_ROUT
De- and reactivate your scenario and it will be working as expected.
Best regards
