How to dynamically define a file name and its path in a web application

Hi, I want to create a simple web application that reads from an XML file and displays the data back to the user. The xml file is created independent of my application on the same machine that the Application Server runs. How can I define my xml file name and/or path to be independent of my code and not hard-coded in my application?

By an external configurationfile? That can be a propertiesfile, a xml file, an ini file, a plain vanilla txt file, etcetera.

How to find PG.xml file name and path associated with a FUNCTION

Hi,
I am having a function:IRC_VIS_HOME_PAGE with Web HTML value as below:
OA.jsp?akRegionCode=IRC_VIS_HOME_PAGE&akRegionApplicationId=800&OAPB=IRC_BRAND
How to find PG.xml file name and path assoicated with above funtion.
Thanks,
ashok

Ashok,
Function IRC_VIS_HOME_PAGE will have 2 parameter defined for it which are OASF and OAHP where
OASF=<SelectedFunctionName> - this tells the Framework to select this function in the given "Home Page" menu context.
OAHP=<HomePageMenuName> - this is used ONLY with the OASF parameter, and it is used to establish the current menu context. It should point to a "Home Page" menu.

How to print the report file name and path and the last mod date

Good morning,
I am trying to print on the footer of the report the report file name and path as well as the report last modification date.
Anyone would know how I can do that? I have checked the doc but found nothing.
Thks. Philippe.

Did you ever determine how to print report name and report last mod date?

How do I put the file name and path into either the header or the footer?

I need to keep track of pdf documents as their names or locations sometimes change. I need to show both file name and path, preferably in the header. I would also like it to refresh automatically when I change, say, the file name, but that's not as essential as the basic function of showing the file name and path.

You will need to do this with a text field and a Javascript that executes on open.

How to get the source file name and transform into database

Hi,
We need to load data from source file abc.csv into oracle table. during loading, we need to keep the file name abc.csv and write into the database table as one field. Is there anyone who did the similar task? and how to make it? Pls help!

Hi,
If you can write the filename to a text file, you may do the following:
(1) create a text-file containing the name of your source-file.
(2) create an external table using that text-file as input.
Now, you can SELECT the filename from the external table.
Of course, you need a way to : create the flat file, handle the flat file, etc.
Grtz.

How can I set the file name and folder for output to PDF from another application?

I am developing an application in Microsoft Access where the printed reports are to be saved in PDF format for archive purposes. I can send the output to Adobe X, but the default file name is the Access report name and the folder selected is the one last used.
What I need to do is to create the file with a specific name (which changes for each run) and to a specific folder (which also changes for each run).
The language I'm using is Visual Basic for Applications which is located in an Access form that controls the report production.
Any suggestions, please?

Got it - many thanks.

How to dynamicly create a field name AND access it

All,
I am trying to build a code block that will access what amounts to a table structure inside a table. I have 38 occurances if a set of 3 fields. (Source system had an internal array/occurs clause that was converted for our ODS into individual fields) I am returning a single row as a row type and have addressability to all fields. What I am trying to avoid is coding my logic block 38 times, 1 for each occurance.
FOR X IN 1 .. 38 LOOP
V_CAT_CD_X := 'CAT_'||X||'_CD';
End Loop;
The following is the display of the correctly built field:
--> Loop Cat CD: CAT_1_CD Rec count:1 Loop counter:1
--> Loop Cat CD: CAT_2_CD Rec count:1 Loop counter:2
--> Loop Cat CD: CAT_3_CD Rec count:1 Loop counter:3
--> Loop Cat CD: CAT_4_CD Rec count:1 Loop counter:4
My problem is that my row cursor PP1 is addressable hardcoding PP1.CAT_1_CD or PP1.CAT_2_CD ect, however I am having problems using my created string to access the field.
What do I need to do to gain accessability via this method?
I do have the ability to select the column names from the system tables but even then, I am lacking addressability to my ROW type using the selected field name.
Thanks
Greg

How to dynamically populate a manager name and level for any user who login

Hi All,
I need some help in doing this in my DB:
Table 1 is the the manager hierarchy {which basically shows the structure of every employee's org).
Table 2 is a list of all people manager ( all these usernames will also be in table 1). What i need to find is using the username from Table 2, the highest level that username exists in the manager hierarchy.
For ex:
Table 1: { What this shows is Sam is CEO and Jeff reports to him. So for Sam, he will exist on all 15 levels and Jeff will have Sam has his top level manager and then Jeff will repeat for all remaining levels till 15.
Manager Level 0 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3...Level15
Sam                       Sam     Sam     Sam         Sam
Sam                        Jeff     Jeff        Jeff          Jeff
Now in Table 2:
User Name   Manager Level/Name
Sam               Manager Level 0 Sam
Jeff                 Manager Level 1 Jeff
As you see, for each user name in Table i want to populate their high level from the manager hierarchy {their record in manager hierarchy).
Hope This helps to clear the confusion.
Thanks

File adapter - How to pass File name and path at runtime

Hi gurus,
We want to use PI 7.0 as an ftp server and expose the config as a webservice where the service consumer can pass one or more file names and the path to pick them and drop them on a fixed ftp server.
So precisely, I need to be able to set the file name, target directory parameters in both sender and receiver file/ftp adapters at runtime. is this possible at all ?
I am aware of passing Adapter specific parameters from sender file adapter to receiver file adapter to create the same folder structure and file names. But my requirement is different. I hope I am clear.
Could I please get some advise on this .
Thanks & Kind Regards,
Jhansi.

Hi Jhansi,
Either you can go ahead with dynamic configuration as said by other SDN'ers. Else can go with Java Mapping:
Here is the code for Java Mapping:
import com.sap.aii.mapping.api.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.text.*;
import java.util.*;
public class GetDynamicConfiguration implements StreamTransformation {
private Map param;
public void setParameter(Map map1) {
this.param = map1;
public void execute(InputStream inputstream, OutputStream outputstream) throws StreamTransformationException {
try {
AbstractTrace trace = null;
// a) Set ouput File name
String directory=null;
trace = (AbstractTrace)param.get(StreamTransformationConstants.MAPPING_TRACE );
param.put(DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/Dynamic", StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION), "");
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) param.get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File", "FileName");
DynamicConfigurationKey key1 = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File", "Directory");
String filename =conf.get(key);
conf.put(key, filename);
trace.addInfo("File name is "+filename);
if(filename.equals("in.txt"))
directory = "/home/ftpxi/in";
if(filename.equals("test.txt"))
directory = "/home/ftpxi/in/test";
if(filename.equals("shweta27.txt"))
directory = "/home/ftpxi/in/test";
trace.addInfo("Directory name is "+directory);
conf.put(key1, directory);
// b) Just copy input file to output file
byte[] b = new bytehttp://inputstream.available();
inputstream.read(b);
outputstream.write(b);
} catch (Exception exception) {
exception.printStackTrace();

How to get uploaded file name and path in BefExportToDat event script

I would like to get hold of the uploaded file name and full path in the event script "BefExportToDat", as I need to extract values from particular fields. However I have not yet found a way to do this.
- The input variable "strFile" returns the .Dat file path in the Outbox, to which it is about to export the data. This is no use to me.
- The API variable RES.PstrFilename is returning nothing
I am using RES.PstrFilename in the "BefFileImport" event script in a different FDM application and it works fine, however I need to find a way to get this to work in the "BefExportToDat" event script.
Please let me know how this might be achieved.

I am looking through the API calls in FDM Workbench, but cannot see the table (tPOVPartitions) you mentioned listed. Is this the correct name? And do I just use the function listed in the object browser to run the query?
Furthermore (going back to my initial thoughts of using strFile), it appears that although the variable contains the .Dat filename and path, the actual file is non-existent when "BefExportToDat" is executed:
Error:
Error: Export failed.
Detail: File not found.
This would make sense, but it does make the variable "strFile" a little pointless since one cannot make use of the file in this particular event script. Do you please have any thoughts on this?
