Append messages with out header tag " ?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?

Question

Hi all,
I am doing file to file scenario.When I use APPEND in the File adapter it is also adding <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
I need to send a file for every 10 minutes consolidate all files and send at the end of the day.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<ID>31154</ID>
The next time when i send the file with different< ID>31155</ID>
it should append ignoring <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
The consolidated file must look like this...
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<ID>31154</ID>
< ID>31155</ID>
Thanks ,
Srinivas

Hey
as pointed out by everyone else,there is no straight way for this,one thing u can do is that create two separate scenarios.
in first scenario use content conversion on receiver side and keep on appending the text for 10 mins (guess this is ur pooling interval),now since ur using FCC u wont get <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>,you will get a flat file on receiver side.
after 10 mins u can have one more scenario which picks up this flat file and this time use FCC on sender side so that it will convert this flat file to XML,in this way you will get <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> only once.
hope this solves ur problem.
just make sure that you specify correct polling intervals for both the scenarios.
thanx
