Working With the Simple File Target Connector
This section discusses the simple file target connector.
With the simple file target connector, you can save PeopleSoft messages as files in XML format. This enables you to verify that:
You have composed messages correctly.
The messages contain the content that you want to send.
You can use the Simple File target connector to send messages using the PUT command and receive messages using the GET command.
The connector ID for the simple file target connector is FILEOUTPUT.
Warning! Specify the location where the connector saves the output file. You must set the file path on the integration.properties file fileconnector.FilePath=.
To secure files during processing, set the property ig.fileconnector.password in the integrationGateway.properties file, in addition to the Password property in the connector properties set in the Gateways component.
Setting file security is mandatory.
