Donghoon, As Christopher said you need the Constant Actor for the file parameter instead of String Constant. The reason that you didn't get an exception is either because the Text File Writer has successfully written the file or it is catching the exception when you try to create a file and an exception is thrown. You can turn on debugging and you will have a debug message when it can't create the file. The easiest way to tell which case occurred for you, is to connect a display actor to the output of the Text File Writer. If the file was created, it will display the full path to the file.
My guess is that if you look in the directory that contains build-area, actors, and all of the other modules, you will find a file named MyFileParameter since the TextFileWriter is capable of handling relative paths and defaults to that directory for relative paths. If you don't have that file, it's because the user that launched Kepler does not have write permission to that directory.
