I have:
1) A Broker named MBPROD
2) A file named *.MBXXXX.gz
How can I specify the Broker Name in the FileInput Node Property 'File name or pattern' ?
Please note, I can override this property at deployment time using mqsiapplybaroverride but for reasons I will not get in to, this does not suffice. |

Bar override is your only option to specify the pattern prior to deployment on different environments.
Why is it so difficult to use the bar override ? What does your manager say about it ?

Regular expressions are supported in the property 'File name or pattern' .
Can something like $BrokerName$ be used ? |

Only if the documentation says it can be used.
Sometimes it's not worth struggling to make things smarter than they need to be. |

Ah ok, thanks for that. Never thought of checking the documentation.  |

| Can a property (i.e. 'File name or pattern' ) reference a UDP ? |

Who is telling you that you are not permitted to use the documented way to override properties ?

No, and why would you want to? Seriously. I think we're all struggling to see the actual requirement here, and why the obvious answer isn't that useful to you.

you can use the LocalEnvironment overrides for the fileoutput node.
oops, sorry, you were talking about the fileinput node... forget that. |

| Having said that, you can use a compute node to set the LocalEnvironment and then trigger a fileRead node (instead of a fileinput) , in the compute node you can use the ESQL BrokerName property |
