    The document describes an approach to enable PowerCenter to read files with dynamic names of a fixed format. It involves creating a workflow variable to hold the file name, assigning an expression to generate file names like "FileName_mm_dd_yyyy.txt" to the variable, and supplying the variable in the session to allow PowerCenter to read files with names generated dynamically but in a consistent format. The result is PowerCenter can now read files with dynamic names that follow a fixed naming convention.

    Requirement:

    To enable PowerCenter to read files with dynamic name with a fixed format.

    Approach:
    Use PowerCenter features to enable it to read files with dynamic name of fixed format.

    Description:
    Create a Work flow variable as “$$FileName” with string data type:

    Take an assignment task and assign the wf variable with the expressions as following:

    Put the below in expression:


    'FileName' || '_' || SUBSTR(TO_CHAR(SYSDATE),1,2) || '_' || SUBSTR(TO_CHAR(SYSDATE),4,2) || '_' ||
    SUBSTR(TO_CHAR(SYSDATE),7,4) || '.txt'

    **Note: The above can be tailored according to our need.


    The above expression will generate a file name like this: “FileName_mm_dd_yyyy.txt”

    Now supply the Wf variable in the session as below:

    The workflow will look something like below:

    Result:
    The Purpose is severed and now PowerCenter can read files with dynamic names of fixed format.
