Hi,

I have an incoming file every month which is of the format MMDDYYYYDealer.txt. I need to rename it prior to processing by informatica to some common name such as Dealer.txt so that I can use it in my Source connection. Please let me know what commands I can use or it would be great if anyone can share the script

This is created in notepad, and saved as .bat file
Be certain to change the file paths to those that are specific to your environement
where z is your mapped drive to "Informatica Secure"

@echo off
set /p txtfile=Filename without Path assumes c:\:
echo.%txtfile%
copy %txtfile% z:\testing\dealer.txt
echo Come back to this window when Agent is done with process. The copy file will be deleted.
@pause
copy %txtfile% c:\somefolder\namedsuccess\%txtfile%
del z:\testing\dealer.txt
exit

I hope this helps.

I hope this reply finds you in good spirits.

Incoming file into where? Your email client? Your mapped drive?

I will be happy to assist once I understand the environment.

Hi Mark,

Sorry I wasn't a bit more specific.

I have an incoming file every month(Would be placed in my Informatica Secure agent machine using Windows XP) which is of the format MMDDYYYYDealer.txt. I need to rename it prior to processing by informatica to some common name such as Dealer.txt so that I can use it in my Source connection.After the processing is done I need to move the file with the original name to a specified folder

So lets say I receive 12022013Dealer.txt in my folder
I copy this to a new folder
rename the file in my original folder
After Informatica Processing I will move the copied file with original name to a success folder and delete the renamed file.
