ARGOEDI005 (USE_FILE_NAME_FOR_SORTING)

Determines whether to use the time stamp or the file name to pick up files from a mailbox when processing inbound EDI files. You can set this setting as true if you have multiple files with the same date and time stamp and you want them to be processed alphabetically. You can configure the setting either at the application level so that it is applicable to all Inbound EDI Sessions, or at the inbound session level in the EDI setting form (on page 1).The value configured for the setting at the EDI session level always takes precedence.

Values:

true - N4 processes the inbound EDI files based on the filename. In this case, N4 processes the files in the alphabetical order.

N4 first processes all the file names starting with uppercase characters in the alphabetical order and then processes the file names starting with lowercase characters, also in the alphabetical order. Therefore, all the files starting with A through Z are processed before the files starting with a through z.

false - N4 processes inbound EDI files based on the time stamp in the order that the files were received.

Default: false
