Scribe Console: Renaming Source Text files before running a job and after processing and regularly changing source file names.

Have you ever looked in Scribe Insight for a way to rename a source file before processing it. Scribe console creates collaborations where integration processes can be configured so that they wait for a file to be added to a specific location and then run a specified job. Once the file is added the job will run and process the file. Also, Scribe DTS jobs can only be setup to process a source file that has its name always fixed and unchanged. So a DTS can be setup to process a source file named: customersdata.txt. It will never run if another source file is added to the location the Scribe console is looking at. In this case, if you get a source file with the date (and time) stamp in its name will need to rename it so the the DTS can detect it and run. So if the source file comes with time and date stamp that varies every day (for example: customers_1453_21092009.txt), you will need to rename “customers_1453_21092009.txt” to “customersdata.txt” only to get the DTS to work.
