Save to File

Overview

The Save to file filter enables you to write the current message contents to a file. For example, you can save the message contents to a file in a directory where it can be accessed by an external application. This can be used to quarantine messages to the file system for offline examination. This filter can also be useful when integrating legacy systems. Instead of making drastic changes to the legacy system by adding an HTTP engine, the Enterprise Gateway can save the message contents to the file system, and route them on over HTTP to another back-end system.

Configuration

Maximum number of files in directory	Specify the maximum number of files that can be saved in the directory. Defaults to 500.
