J_NeSmith, please assist me with the scenario i am trying to accomplish.

Hi Team,

 

If you can suggest, how to read the file completely and save it as  a single property.

 

I am trying it in the below way:

1. Locate the file and read it each line.

         Suppose I have a file with values as A, B, C, D, E..... all in each line.

2. After reading save, copy and save it to a single property.

         Ex. {{Response}} -- A, B, C, D, E..... all in each line.

 

Any kind of suggestions is highly appreciated.

Is the file in a location that you can map a drive?

If so, you could try the Read File step.

 In this step, configure the file name/location and save the input into a property:

Use another step to do something with the file.

Notes:

- The file path must be accessible from the machine (local or DT server) that is executing the step.

- The file path can be parameterized using {{ }} notation if desired.

- File size may or may not be an issue.  For example, if you are moving '000s of MB, I cannot say what the performance would be.

- There is also a DT FTP step available. I am unfamiliar with Tectia FTP, but I assume you have a technique for passing the file (property) to the FTP client.

 

There is a custom SSH/FTP step that you can search for in Communities. I do not know the status of this code.

 

Let us know if this helps.

Thanks Joel, for the approach suggested.

Now the rest can be handled.
