Parameters
pattern Specifies a PCRE that defines the rename pattern.
Guidelines
The processing-rename-pattern command specifies the PCRE to rename a file that
is being processed. This functionality allows multiple poller objects to poll the
same directory with the same match pattern. There is no lack of atomicity if the
rename operation on the server is atomic. The poller that succeeds in renaming the
input file will proceed to process the file. Any other poller that tries to rename the
file at the same time will fail to rename the file and will proceed to try the next file
that matches the specified match pattern.
To ensure uniqueness, the resulting file name will be in the following format:
where:
filename
serial
domain
poller
timestamp
Note: File renaming cannot be used with an FTP server that supports only 8.3 file
For example, if the input files are NNNNNN.input and you want to rename them to
NNNNNN.processing, the match-pattern would be ([0-9] {6{})\.input$ and the
rename pattern would be $1.processing. The resultant file name on the server
would be:
Note: If no processing rename pattern is configured, the file will still be renamed.

The only difference is that the file name portion of the resulting file is the
name of the original input file, not the renamed input file.
