PR170 file locatoin

Does the job log show the new external name?

prt report shows external file path but that only works when I select CSV = Y in the job. It creates a non csv fixed width flat file in the work folder which I want to go to a proper folder. I don't need a CSV since bank only accepts a flat file.

As far as I know, the external name override in jobdef only applies to the the CSV file. Flat files, will either need a minor mod to PR170 or have a script or something that runs after PR170 to move the file.

@adnan512: I did something similar for a client for PR160; It's not easy to alter a work file location without a customization or creating a multi-step job with a post-processing script. So, I set up a BCI ScanFileClient (9.0.x) / IPA File Channel (IPA 10+) to "listen" for files in the designated work folder and processed them using a flow. You do have to experiment and put in some waits in the flow so you don't try to copy a file that is still being written.

Yeah.. I might just setup a script to move the files to correct folder inside an IPA. Then setup a file channel to kick off an IPA to reformat the files for the Bank. We are going to have 14 different Positive Pay files generated to process.

Thank You all. I do have a script for PR160 file backup and moving ACH and PMTOUT to a designated folder. I will replicate the same IPA for PR170 to kick off the script to move the files to a designated folder and the rename the files with date and time stamp for further processing/reformatting for the Bank. Infor support also stated that default file locatoin can not be changed.
