Generate Unique CSV File using Bix

Hi,

Is there any way to generate csv file with unique name; each time extract rule is run? We might need to run Extract rule multiple times but since it always generates the same file name, there is a risk it may replace the previous file.

Hi,

 

You can use substitution strings in the To file field so that a separate file gets generated for each extract run.

Ex: When you give myfile%s in the To File, each time you run the extract rule, a new file gets generated with serial number appended to file name starting from one. 

Output will be like myfie1, myfile2,..

These are available substitution strings: %i,%c, %r,%d,%t,%s. Refer Bix user guide for information about these.

 

Thank you,

Adithya
