The file scan receiver constantly looks in a given directory for files with a given pattern. When it finds a matching file, it creates a record in the staging control table to upload the contents of the file into the upload staging table.
When setting up your XAI environment, identify the interfaces that require uploading a file from a directory into the system through XAI. For each unique file, define a file scan receiver. For each receiver record, indicate the Scan Directory, where new files will be placed, the Scan File, which is the naming pattern to look for and the XAI Inbound Service to use for mapping the data into a system service.
In addition, if you want to specify a character encoding, the following Context record should be defined.
| Context Type | Description | Values |
|---|---|---|
| Character Encoding | Indicates that the message is character encoded. When the receiver creates a staging control entry for a file, it will add ?enc=?x to the name of the file in the table where x is the value of this parameter. Refer to Sequential Input File for more information. | UTF-8 or UTF-16 |
