Several directories are used for the retrieval and storage
of files. An input file is used for testing.
Create
the following directories on your file system (assuming a Windows
operating system):
- Create a c:\flatfiles directory.
- Create the following subdirectories in the flat files directory.
- c:\flatfiles\inboundevents
- c:\flatfiles\inboundarchive
- c:\flatfiles\outputdir
Linux® users: Create
a similar file structure using the Linux file
system.
- Create the following customer.txt file
and add it to the c:\flatfiles directory. When
you test the application, you can copy it to the c:\flatfiles\inboundevents directory.
The application will delete it from this directory when it processes
it.
