When you add the CDInput node to a message flow, you can configure it.
The directory must exist.
If the IBM® App Connect Enterprise and IBM Sterling Connect:Direct® server are on different machines, this is the path to the directory on the IBM App Connect Enterprise machine.
If the Integration node path to input directory property in the Connect:Direct Server policy is set, the directory filter can be a path relative to that value; otherwise it must be an absolute path.
On z/OS®, if the file is a sequential dataset, partitioned dataset, or partitioned dataset member, leave the Directory filter field blank.
Wildcard character | Description | Example |
---|---|---|
* | Any sequence of zero or more characters | *.xml matches all file names with an xml extension |
? | Any single character | f??????.csv matches all file names that consist of the letter f followed by 6 characters and then the sequence .csv. |
If this value is not set, the default policy (named "Default") is used.
The default policy connects to a Connect:Direct server located on the same machine as IBM App Connect Enterprise, and using default port configurations.
The default policy also uses the "default" security identity, which must be created using the mqsisetdbparms command; for example: mqsisetdbparms -w c:\workdir\ACEServ1 -n cd::default -u mqbroker -p xxxxxxx

If you set values, and if they differ from the values in the MQRFH2 header, the values in the MQRFH2 header take precedence.
