Network File Access File Write Transfer Object

Network File Access File Write Transfer Objects can write files and modify existing files. File paths can be selected from a database or as constants. You can configure the transfer object directly within the connection as described.

The following properties can be configured:

Property	Description
Connection	Plug-in instance to be used

"Output path" section

Property	Description
Output path	Dynamic: The output path can be passed dynamically as a parameter at runtime. This is helpful if different files are to be written. Static: A static file path must be configured in the transfer object. This setting should be used if only one file is to be written.

"Connection Settings" section

Property	Description
If file already exists	Overwrite: If the file already exists, it will be overwritten. Generate error: If the file already exists, the transfer will be aborted with an error. Ignore: If the file already exists, nothing will be written.

"File Settings" section

Property	Description
Dynamic or Static File Name	Dynamic: The file name can be passed dynamically as a parameter at runtime. This is helpful if different files are to be written. Static: A static file name must be configured in the transfer object. This setting should be used if only one file is to be written.
Prefix UTC timestamp	If enabled, the current UTC timestamp is prefixed to the file name. For example, the file "test.txt" becomes "20191204_095646_test.txt".
Write binary data or text	Write binary file writes binary data (e.g., *.doc, *.jpg, *.xlsx). Write text is suitable for simple text files (e.g., *.txt) or output values from other TOs such as JSON.
