That is my pipeline. I am not sure if I am doing this correctly, I have the variable name set up in the Poller, and In the File read I have the account set up, but still don’t understand the dynamics of the file name. Do I need to change the output in views to $path on the Poller Snap.
If you validate the Pipeline - File Poller Snap should return the o/p. Something like this
o/p
“path”: “ftp://XX.XX.XX.XX/HousingPhotos1_FullFeed.zip”
“path”: “ftp://XX.XX.XX.XX/HousingPhotos1_FullFeed.zip”
“path”: “ftp://XX.XX.XX.XX/HousingPhotos1_FullFeed.zip”The in the File Reader Snap - File* Just pass $path.
Hi Falleur,
I would suggest use directory browser over file poller if integration type is scheduled. Once you read file from directory browser you can found the path variable as a output , you can use it on file reader.
Can you please show me an example of what you mean?
