FTP Adapter to Flat File - preventing blank lines

Question

Hi,
I have the following D3L file, which I use to create a file of employee details:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="US-ASCII"?>
<!DOCTYPE message SYSTEM "d3l.dtd">
<message name="employeeDetail" type="EmpRec" object="Employee">
<imparray id="AddressArrayType">
<struct>
<field name="EmpID">
<padstring length="8" padchar=" " padstyle="tail"/>
</field>
<field name="StreetName">
<padstring length="20" padchar=" " padstyle="tail"/>
</field>
<field name="EOL"><termstring endchar="\n" /></field>
</struct>
</imparray>
<imparray id="SalArrayType">
<struct>
<field name="EmpID">
<padstring length="8" padchar=" " padstyle="tail"/>
</field>
<field name="Salary">
<padstring length="10" padchar=" " padstyle="tail"/>
</field>
<field name="EOL"><termstring endchar="\n" /></field>
</struct>
</imparray>
<imparray id="EmpArrayType">
<struct>
<field name="EmpAddrArray"> <typeref type="AddressArrayType" /> </field>
<field name="EmpSalArray"> <typeref type="SalArrayType" /> </field>
</struct>
</imparray>
<struct id="EmpRec">
<field name="EmpArray"> <typeref type="EmpArrayType" /> </field>
</struct>
</message>
Basically, an employee can have multiple address entries, and multiple salary entries, and there are multiple employees.
The file produced is what I require, except where an employee has no address, but has a salary, or no salary, but has an address. In these cases, I get a blank line.
How do I prevent a blank line appearing - by changing the D3L file, or by doing a conditional copy when I map from common view to application view?
Anyone help? Thanks.

Hi Soumya,
You need to choose the FTP in the "transport protocol" option. Then in the FTP connection parameters choose the option Connection Security and assign the value "FTPS for control and Data Connection". Then the "Command Order" will show up below that option and you could leave the default value itself. If you are using Public private key certificates of X.509 then you could choose the option "Use x.509 certificate for client authentication" and assign the values to the "keystore" and "certificate & private key" fields.
Note: To use the FTP with SSL you need to add the CA certificate to the TrustedCAs keystore view.
