Set Properties step example

You can use multiple parameters to create complex dynamic values for file names or directories.

For example, to write data out to disk with the following file naming convention:

NEW_ORDER_<ordernum>_<current timestamp>.txt

You can use the Set Properties step to dynamically set the disk file name with five parameters like this:

  • Parameter 3: Type=Static, Static Value="_"

  • Parameter 4: Type=Date/Time, Date Mask="MMddyyyy", Date Type=Current Date

  • Parameter 5: Type=Static, Static Value=".txt"
