Dynamic File Name in SAP CPI

This blog will explain how to configure dynamic file name in SAP CPI. This can be used for the sap cpi FTP/SFTP receiver adapter.

Refer to the blog to learn about basic SFTP adapter configuration in SAP CPI.

We are all aware of how Dynamic Configuration works in SAP PI.  This blog post will show how to achieve dynamic configuration in receiver SFTP adapter in SAP Integration Suite (aka CPI).

This function helps you to change the content of an incoming message or payload during Message Processing (i.e. Message Header, Message Exchange Property, or Message Body).

As we have to read the value from the incoming payload we will use XPATH here. In this case value of the country field is picked up.

Receiver Channel Configuration.

The filename will be set as ${header.file_name} – The name of the parameter has to match with what is defined in the content modifier step above.

Save and deploy the iflow.

When the interface is launched, the following files will be generated:
