Output custom files with custom filename extensions
We are outputing data files with a .csv extention, no problem, But there needs to be a file generated within Pega and output that has identically the same filename, but with a different extension, such as .trg that simply contains metadata about the data file: such as a record count. How can we do that within Pega?

@ChuckM17017921 In Pega, you can generate a .csv file using the BIX Extract rule or other file writing methods. However, generating a separate .trg file with metadata about the .csv file is not a built-in feature. You might need to create a custom solution for this. One approach could be to use a custom activity that reads the .csv file after it's generated, calculates the metadata (like record count), and then writes this information to a .trg file. You can use the PublicAPI methods to write to a file in Pega. Please note that this would require advanced knowledge of Pega and might involve Java steps in the activity
