    We're just starting our PFI-to-IPA upgrade project.  We're going from a local AIX PFI installation to a remote Windows IPA installation.  LSF is still on AIX/DB2.

    In PFI ScanFileClient. when the 'batch' option is set to true it passes the fully qualified path for the trigger file as "_inputData".

    In IPA File Channel Receiver, when the 'Data' option is set to "File Name" it only passes the file name as "_inputData".  It doesn't include the full path.

    Is there a setting that can be changed to make it pass the whole path?

    Or, is there a variable available to the triggered flow whose value is the scanned directory for the file channel that the receiver belongs to?

    Thanks in advance,

    Kyle Jorgensen

      OK, so I figured this out.
      Workunits started by File Channels have these variables added to them:
      "Channel" - name of the file channel
      "Receiver" - name of the file channel receiver
      "FileName" - name of the trigger file
      "MonitorDirectory" - path of monitored directory
      "ErrorFileDirectory" - path of error directory
      "ProcessedFileDirectory" - path of archive directory

      This wasn't covered in our differences class so we assumed that _inputData would still contain the fully qualified path name of the trigger file.

      Hope this helps some of you.
