Changing of the timestamp in sender file adapter in archive mode

Question

Hi,
I have a requirement where in I have to archive a file with timestamp different from that generated by XI.
Please let me know if this can be done and if so how can we handle the changes to be made to the timestamp in the sender adapter in archive mode.
regards,
Srinivas.

Srinivas,
Option 1) Create a bat file..to run the perl script you call..
Perl script..
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
print("Starter that you want to change: ");
chomp($badex = <STDIN>);
print("Starter that you want added: ");
chomp($goodex = <STDIN>);
foreach $file (<$badex*>){
    @fields = split(/$badex/,$file);
    $goodfile = ("$goodex" . "$fields[1]");
    rename("$file","$goodfile");
Run that on the os
That should fix it.........
Option 2) On your local Machine create a java file..add this code to it
public class Utils
     public static int Randomizer(){
          int randomInt = 0;
          randomInt = (int) (Math.random()*1000);
          return randomInt;
public static void main(String[] args)
     Randomizer();
save and compile..
Create a bat file to add the number returned from the random to your targetFilename
so it would be something like..
mv oldFileName Newfilename+randomizer... and also get this command written to a file..helpful later on.........
Hope that helps
