Copy and rename mutliple files

Hi,
I am struggling with what seems to be a simple pipeline.
Here are my requirements:
1.Get list of file names from the database (original file name and new file name)
2. Read each file from one SFTP server using “original file name” and then write it to a different SFTP server renaming it to the “new file name”.
My issue is that I am unable to pass “new file name” after I use file read snap.
File read snap does not have a “Pass Through” option.
How can I do that?
Thank you

Hi,

Create a master pipeline and get list of file names from the database (original file name and new file name). After collecting file names, place a pipeline execute snap and invoke the child pipeline. In the pipeline execute snap,configure the filenames as below.

In the child pipleine, place a file reader snap provide the details to read the original file name using _original_file_name pipeline parameter. In the file writer snap, provide the details to create a file using _new_file_name pipeline parameter.

Hi,
This looks like a work around the problem.
We’ll have over 10000 files to rename/move every time.
Is that going to be an issue to execute child pipeline that many times?
Thanks.
