4.2.5.9. Splitter Gateway Out

The splitter gateway OUT enables to split a message into multiple messages. The splitter can split according to RegEx, XPath, Edifact or X12 expressions. The resulting messages are forwarded to one or more channels in the same environment.

The specific settings are:

 Connected gateways 

 Select the internal gateways In that will receive the split messages. You can select multiple gateway in. A copy of the message will be sent to each of them. 

 Split type 

 The split type determines how the file will be analyzed (text, xml, edifact) to split it in parts. 

 Message Delay 

 Introduces a delay (in seconds, up to maximum 300 seconds) before it sends out each message. For example, if the delay is set to 30 and the split generates 4 messages, each message will be sent 30 seconds appart with the last message dispatched 1.5 minutes after the split. 

 User Metadata Transfer Strategy 

 The strategy that will be used to transfer the user metadata to the new message created in the connected gateways. 

 Filename 

 Filename of the parent message [with extension if applicable]. If empty, we will apply the default settings. 

 Response filename 

 Filename of the split message. 

 Header expression 

 Regex expression to create a header added to each split message 

 Regular expression 

 RegEx expression to select the content of the split message. 

[\n](?=EE)

which means split when seeing line return and then EE 

 Lines 

 Split the message every so many lines 

 Xpath expression 

 XPath to select the content of the split message. 

 Footer expression 

 Regex expression to create a footer added to each split message 

 Keep xml parents 

 Keep the parent node of the split xml. Only valid with XPath splitting. 

 Omit xml declaration 

 Skip the xml declaration in the split xml. Only valid with XPath splitting. 

 Xslt  

 Optional Xslt to perform on the split Xml. Only valid with XPath splitting. 

 Input charset 

 Charset to use to decode file waiting to be split. 

 Output charset 

 Charset to use to encode the file resulting of the splitting. 

 

Note:

  • In Babelway, we're using the standard Java version of REGEX, and it's the same used all over the system.
  • If there is a file name provided in the "Message In" or "Message Out" which contain ~ tilde character, All browser based on Chromium will replace the ~ tilde character by the _ underscore character when you try to download the file from the Babelway interface, For more details you can check this link https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=479419
  • The maximum file size accepted by this gateway is 100 MB.
