I have a DataSet of type File configured to read a specified file pattern with wildcards from a defined repository. This is all working fine but there is no metadata available at run-time such as the filename and extension that was consumed. I would expected this to be included on the clipboard page specified in the Browse operation parameters. The parameter page is empty as well. Am I missing something?
@MarkusM16813866 The behavior you are experiencing is expected when using the DataSet-Execute method for File in Pega Platform. The metadata such as the filename and extension consumed by the file is not automatically included on the clipboard page specified in the Browse operation parameters. To include the metadata of the consumed file on the clipboard page, you can customize the service activity to populate the necessary information. You can use the information in the LogServiceFile page, which includes metadata such as the name of the listener processing the file, host name of the server, requester used to run the file processing activity, original parent directory, original filename, and more. You can write a custom service activity to extract the required metadata from the LogServiceFile page and populate the clipboard page with this information. For more information on customizing service activities and accessing metadata from the LogServiceFile page, you can refer to the following Pega Platform documentation:
