Specifying Additional Files 

File List

If you have selected the transport protocol File System (NFS) and have set the Additional Files(s) indicator, you can enter the additional files that are to be included in the XI message as attachments.

Enter a name for each additional file in the File List. You can choose any name. Separate the names of the additional files with a comma (<Additional file1,additional file2, ...,additional fileN>).

The specified names are used as the names of the additional attachments in the XI message and as the keys of the parameters.

Rules for Additional Files

·        All additional files must be in the source directory.

·        The way that the files to be transported are grouped together is defined by the file names. All file names must be identical except for a defined part (such as the suffix).

·        Additional files can only be transported unaltered without conversion options.

·        Messages with additional attachments require a receiver that can process them.

·        Additional files are located in the message as an attachment under the name assigned in the File List.

Entries in the table fields are only submitted when you leave the field. Therefore, it is particularly important to confirm your last entry in the table by choosing Enter before you save the entries.

Parameters for Additional Files

Name	Value
<Additional FileN>.namePart	The name of the additional file is determined from the file name that was assigned for the XI message under File Name. Specify which part of the original file name must be replaced to find the additional files “.txt“=“.pdf“ If, as a result of the configuration, the file invoice.txt was found, then this specification means that the system searches for the file invoice.pdf.
<Additional FileN>.optional	YES The entry is ignored and the message is sent to the Integration Server/PCK without the system finding the additional file. NO If the file is not found, then processing is terminated with an error message.
<Additional FileN>.type	Specifies the file type of the additional file: BIN (Binary file) TXT (Text file)
<Additional FileN>.encoding	If the file type of the additional file is TXT (text file), you can specify the name of the codepage to be used. The same rules apply as in the File Type section in Configuring the Sender File/FTP Adapter.
