Dynamic Configuration-File to File in scenario

Question

Hi Experts,
As per the requirement needs to supress the numeric extensions of the files and transfer to the receiver.
Example: file name is XXX123.txt , but after picking up by sender communication channel in XI that file needs to converts XXX.txt and transfer to the receiver. Finally in the receiver end the file name should be Mahesh.txt only.
Please share the inputs how to do dynamic configuration in XI in File to File scenario.

Hi,
First you need to have a UDF as shown below. No need to put any arguments in the UDF.
public String getFileName(Container container){
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container.getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File","FileName");
//get file name in string s
String s = conf.get(key);
//remove all numeric values
int i,l;
l=s.length();
String a="";
for(i=0;i<l;++i)
if(s.charAt(i)>='0' && s.charAt(i)<='9')
continue;
a=a+s.charAt(i);
s=a;
conf.put(key, s);
return s;
Now you need to map this UDF to any root element or dummy element of the target XML structure.
Ensure that
1. Sender Comm Channel has ASMA and file name ticked
2. Receiver Comm Channel  has ASMA and file name and "fail if ASMA missing" ticked
3. in receiver communication channel -> File access parameters-> File name scheme -
> put any value say "*". This step is not compulsory.
Hope this solves your problem.
