I'm using FileWriter (within a flow) to write metadata to a file that will be read via a different flow. Plenty of documention is out there for how to use FileWriter to write to a file, https://communities.vmware.com/thread/421819
but this appends data to a file if the file already exists.
I'd like to overwrite the file.
I do not wish to write each successive write to a uniquely named file (e.g., date added to name) as this will create issues for the subsequent flow that is expecting a specific filename/location as its source.
I see references to javascript filewrite that indicate a second boolean is availalbe ( FileWrite(outputFile, boolean) ) wherein the default (value is is to overwrite and a 'false' value will append, but this doesn't seem to be the case with our vCO use. I've tried passing booleans as a second parameter and they have no net effect.
I'd consider using vCO to issue a command to 'delete' the file before writing, however, from what I've read (not sure if this applies to vCO) there are concerns with using javascript to delete filesystem files.
Thoughts?
