It’s possible to set the filename of a messages that your are going to send out in the orchestration. Just set the ‘ReceivedFileName’ context property of the outbound messages that you created.
This should look like this:
OutboundMessage(FILE.ReceivedFileName) = "TheNewFancyFileName.xml";
After this you have to set the filemask in the sendport to %SourceFileName% (it’s case sensitive). The %SourceFileName% macro does not need an additional extension (like .xml or .txt) after it like the %MessageId% macro. (more…)

Problem
The problem is that I’m receiving a header and a detail file (both are flatfiles) in the same directory with different filenames and I need to merge those two files together and transform it into our standard xml format.
Solution
After some thinkwork I decided to create two pipeline components and two inbound xsd-schemas to disassemble the inbound message into xml files. With this solution it does not matter if we receive the header of detail first. We just wrap it in one Wrapper xml and passes it to the orchestration. (more…)
