Thanks Ken! Assumed I did not have the freedom earlier. Given Monthly Schedules - doing it on the SFTP Server......

DataLink does not have a mechanism to alter a file during upload. The file must have consistent column headers by the time the SFTP connector transfers the file. To accomplish what you're describing, the customer has the freedom to use whatever technologies they have at their disposal to add that row to the beginning of the file; it just has to be completed before DataLink uploads the file.

Does the JCraft Library provide a method by which we can write into a Raw File? Would like to append/prepend a dynamic column list ( col1, 2,3...n) based on the # of delimiters +1 on top of the raw file to always have a dynamic column header mapping with the apptio table. for a use case - a particular bill gives dynamic headers and hence cannot be mapped (hardcoded). A sed -i1 like utility with a loop to count #of columns - as an option? can Jcraft be used in conjunction with other java libraries before the file is transferred from SFTP to TBM Studio?
