Generate an outbound EDI file name

NameBuilder.GetFileName produces a timestamped, environment-tagged file name intended to precede Write an EDI interchange file.

Field Value
Operation ID OP-11
Trigger Caller request prior to writing an EDI file.
Inputs fileType, isProd.
Outputs "{yyyyMMddHHmmss}_SAIF_{P\|T}_{fileType}.txt" using DateTime.Now.
Primary components NameBuilder.GetFileName
Entry point Common\SAIF.Common.Files\Edi\NameBuilder.cs

Steps

  1. Capture the current timestamp via DateTime.Now and format it as yyyyMMddHHmmss.
  2. Select the environment flag: P when isProd is true, T otherwise.
  3. Compose "{timestamp}_SAIF_{flag}_{fileType}.txt" (BR-055).

No delegation to SAIF.Framework.Common occurs, and no database access is involved.

Process flow

flowchart TD
    Start(["Caller: GetFileName(fileType, isProd)"]) --> Ts["Capture DateTime.Now as yyyyMMddHHmmss"]
    Ts --> Flag{isProd?}
    Flag -->|Yes| P["Environment flag = P"]
    Flag -->|No| T["Environment flag = T"]
    P --> Compose["Compose<br>{timestamp}_SAIF_{flag}_{fileType}.txt"]
    T --> Compose
    Compose --> EndOk([File name string returned])

Failure and edge-case behavior

  • The file name uses DateTime.Now (local server time), so file names generated across a daylight-saving or time-zone boundary are not directly comparable to UTC timestamps recorded elsewhere.*

Note: Statements marked with * were inferred from code structure, naming conventions, or contextual evidence where direct confirmation was not available in source artifacts.
