Dynamic lookup file name in Transforms.conf

sscandoit — Mon, 28 Sep 2020 09:48:06 GMT

Hi,

We have a cron job which periodically updates the lookup file. The file name is of the format lookup_mmddyyyy.csv where mmddyyyy is date on which the file is generated. Currently I manually change the file name to lookup.csv since the transforms.conf has following:

[AppLogLookup]

case_sensitive_match=false

filename=lookup.csv

Is there any way I give the name with date? for e.g.

[AppLogLookup]

case_sensitive_match=false

filename=lookup_mmddyyyy.csv

Appreciate all the help.

Thanks,
Suvelee

If it were me, I would symbolically link the 'lookup.csv' to your updated lookup_mmddyyy.csv' when you create it to make it work.

Thanks a lot. That's an easy solution.
