I need to be able to change a filename of an outbound file to the following naming convention MOT599XXXX.CCYYMMDDHHMMSSNN using the current date and not adding a file extension. Any pointers on getting this done?

You would want to rename the file before it is passed to whatever connector is being used for transport here, which you can do through a simple Script connector. 

 

<!-- reference original file contents -->
<arc:set attr="output.filepath" value="[filepath]" />
<!-- overwrite filename -->
<arc:set attr="output.filename" value="MOT599XXXX.[now('yyyyMMddHHmmssff')]" />
<!-- pass out file -->
<arc:push item="output" />

 

A few notes:

  • I’m assuming NN is fractions of a second. In Windows, this time format is ff - in Java it is SS
  • HH returns the hour in 24 hour format - hh is 12 hour
