Introduction

This sample will demonstrate how an application can read from a file on the file system and write to a file on the file system using the IBM® WebSphere Adapter for Flat Files. You will also learn how to create an application with IBM Integration Designer that processes the incoming data before writing the processed data to the file on the file system. This sample is for developers who work with adapters generally and the Flat Files adapter specifically.

Learning objectives

Specifically, you will learn how to perform the following tasks:
  • Develop an inbound service using the external service wizard with the Flat Files adapter to read data from a file on the file system
  • Develop an outbound service with the same wizard and adapter to write data to a file on the file system
  • Implement the business logic to process the data read from a file on the file system
  • Test your application.
This sample can be used with the following runtimes:
  • WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus
  • IBM Process Server

The article An introduction to the WebSphere Adapter for Flat Files formed the basis of this sample.

The time required to build and test this application yourself is 30 minutes. You also have the option of importing the application already built and testing it, which should take you ten minutes.
