LSMW : Can a reusable parameter be used in Specify Files step?

Former Member

Is there any way to use a reusable parameter in Specify Files step of LSMW? If yes , how to declare and use it?

The filepath for all objects in an LSMW project varies just by sub-folder name as below,

Eg :

\\pathpart1\folder1\headerfile.txt , \\pathpart1\folder1\itemfile.txt

\\pathpart1\folder2\headerfile.txt , \\pathpart1\folder2\itemfile.txt

In this case , can we use any common parameter to hold the folder name , so that , instead of changing the folder name for every file , we can assign the value to reusable parameter and call the parameter inplace of the folder.

When <param> = 'folder1' , this should work like      \\pathpart1\folder1\headerfile.txt , \\pathpart1\folder1\itemfile.txt

When <param> = 'folder2' , this should work like      \\pathpart1\folder2\headerfile.txt , \\pathpart1\folder2\itemfile.txt

Fixed Values declared during 'Maintain Fixed Values,Translations, User defined routines' step  of LSMW are limited to be used only in conversion. Please clarify if this can be used while specifying files too to achieve dynamic filepath.

Thanks in advance!
