Example of Number of Lines splitter:

Here is an example of a series of records before a split, based on the number of lines:


Header Records
Replacement Parts Prices
Replacement Parts Prices
Remanufactured Parts Prices
Replacement Parts Prices
Remanufactured Parts Prices
Replacement Parts Prices
Replacement Parts Prices
Remanufactured Parts Prices
Trailer

When a channel receives an incoming large file, the message is split based on "split after X number of rows". When it reaches the x number of lines and there is no split record, it will check the next record. If the checked record still has no split, it will not be included. But if it has a split record it will be included in the split.

Logically, here is how it works:

  1. If the last record matches 'Remanufactured Parts Prices', the file is split from this point.
  2. Then, if the last record matches 'Replacement Part Prices', one more record is read.
  3. Then, if the next record matches 'Remanufactured Parts Prices' it is included, and the split starts from this point.
  4. Then, if the next record matches 'Replacement Part Prices' it is not included, and the file splits here for the next flat message.

After a split, every flat file message created will have a pair of header and trailer based on the original data.
