TIB / File Adapter

The File adapter will be used to extract data from systems that

have information located in flat file type databases. This allows

you to read data and write data from files, publish and subscribe.

The File Reader reads data from a file and publishes it onto theTIB as an Active Enterprise message. The File Writer writes

data pulled off of Active Enterprise messages from the TIB.

Each file reader can read and publish files from a differentdirectory, and each file writer can subscribe to differentTIBCO ActiveEnterprise subject names and write files todifferent directories. Here is a simple diagram illustrating this:

File Writer/FA Subscription

A file writer subscribes to a particular ActiveEnterprise subject and

writes out the contents of the message received on that subject to a

file. A file writer essentially works in the opposite manner as a file

reader. When a message is received, the file writer writes out thecontents of the message in the order that you specify. Each line

written to a file represents an object contained in the message. The

attributes of the object can be written out in any order and with any

delimiter that you choose.

File Reader/FA Publication

The file reader operates on a formatted text file. It takes each set of

input lines of the file and parses it based on your specifications. This

parsing layout that you setup transforms the incoming data into a

TIBCO Active Enterprise object, which in turn can then be used totransform and map with other TIBCO utilities. The files can either

be in delimited or positional format. A Delimited file is one that has

entries separated by a specified character of delimitation. A

positional file has no delimiters but each field is the same length soyou can just type in the index that coordinates with the beginning and

end of each field.
