File Listener Configuration
Hi All,
I have a requirement. While I am using a file listener, I want to dynamically set the file name. Is there any way of doing so.
I know we can dynamically configure the location of the file using Global Resource Settings.
But is there a way of dynamically configuring the file name as well. Not talking about the wild cards.
Regards,

Hi,
I think in the File Listener Rule i.e. In the Process tab, you can specify a page for reporting.
By default it is named as LogServiceFile and is of class Log-Service-File.
Within this class, there is a property pyOriginalDirectory and pyOriginalFileName which contain the values you need. Please check if we can update it and reference dynamically or change the page name and use our own file name accordingly by updating OOB code.
Regards,
Kalam.

Hi Nishant,
If you want to read the contents of a file and whoose name is dynamic every time then i don't think we can do this using OOTB features of file listener. Try below if you think they are useful
1) Configure File listener which reads files from specified location.Thess files have the details about actual file which you want read dynamically like name and type of it.
2) From the File listener servie actiivty use JAVA bufferred input stream to read the actual file contents dynamically.

During my processing, if i meet any criteria can i tell File Listener to stop the process and dont move the file from there, later it can be revisited ?

I don't think it's possible to stop the listener using some criteria as there is no option in file listener as such.
