In Sender communication channel/Module tab–>Give the JNDI name of the Project that you created in NWDS and add the input parameters as below.


Here I have taken a simple example to explain the usage .Here PI is polling 2 file servers to check the age of the files.

Input parameters that need to pass for AgingAlerts:


InpTag:Input tag of the input xml structure

EndTag:End tag of the input xml structure

Count –>Number of file servers PI is polling (In this example i have taken 2 servers)

Server_0 –>Hostname/IP for 1st server

UserName_0/pwd_Password_0 –>Username,Password of the first server

dateFormat_0 –>OS level date format in 1st server.

osType_0 –>OS type of the first server .(UNIX,NT,AS400,VMS,OS2,L8,NETWARE,MACOS_PETER,MVS,OS400)


UNIX –>For connecting to Unix based ftp server. (Use this for Windows-NT servers which has been configured to use a unix-style listing format )

NT –>For connecting to WindowsNT based ftp server

AS400 –>For connecting to AS/400 based ftp server

VMS–>For connecting to VMS based ftp server

OS2–>For connecting to OS/2 based ftp server

L8–>Some servers return an “UNKNOWN Type: L8” message in response to the SYST command. We set this to be a Unix-type system

NETWARE–>For connecting to Netware based ftp server

MACOS_PETER –>For connecting to Mac pre OS-X  based ftp server

MVS –>For connecting to MVS based ftp server

OS400 –>For connecting to OS/400 based ftp server

SubCount_0 –>No of folders in which we are doing search for fileage in server1  (Here i’m searching in one folder )

DirPath_00 –>Directory path of the first server (increase the last 2 digits for more no.of folders within the same server)

FileName_00 –>File Name schema of the files that need search in 1st server (same as above)

FileAge_00 –>Age Limit of the above matching files in 1st server (same as above) ((Here i have given 10 minutes))

Server_1 –>Hostname/IP for 2nd server

UserName_1/pwd_Password_1 –>Username,Password of the 2nd server

dateFormat_1 –>OS level date format in 2nd server.

osType_1 –>OS type of the 2nd server .(UNIX,NT,AS400,VMS,OS2,L8,NETWARE,MACOS_PETER,MVS,OS400)

SubCount_1 –>No of folders in which we are doing search for fileage in server2  (Here i’m searching in two folders )

DirPath_10 –>Directory path of the second server  that need search

DirPath_11 –>Directory path of the second server that need search

FileName_10 –>File Name schema of the files that need search in 2nd server

FileName_11 –>File Name schema of the files that need search in 2nd server

FileAge_10 –>Age Limit of the above matching files in 2nd server (Here i have given 5 minutes)

FileAge_11 –>Age Limit of the above matching files in 2nd server  (Here i have given 5 minutes)

Above configuration values need to give very carefully .Don’t jump in to the conclusion that it is not working .If you give all configuration details aptly it will work.

I tried to explain in detail with lot of patience. All the best 🙂 .In Part3 of this blog i will explain by taking end to end  test case .
