Need to reference file name within the XML Output

Not sure if this is possible, as I'm new to the livecycle/XML world. But I need to be able to reference a file within the XML output from the PDF.
The Scenario is that a pdf form of a business card will be issued to 50 franchisees for them to type in their names and mobiles, click submit and the XML file to be sent to myself, and be imported in to InDesign populating their data ready for printing. Up to here I have it working perfectly.
However as each franchisee have a combination of up to 5 logos to place in the bottom corner to save having to have various templates with different combinations of logos and having to ensure the correct templates are used. I intend to reference each companies combination as an EPS and make the reference within the xml out and have it import directly in with the other data. I can type the code directly within the xml but I would like to have the form reference it directly in the xml output. Is this possible or am expecting to much of livecycle? Any help/advice greatly appreciated.

If you see the below file name, I need to get ACA and put into variable,I need to get 122 and put into variable. For group name and date time needs to put in variable.

Find the file name of the XML you imported in InDesign

Once you import an XML using Indesign- is there a way to look up the file name/location of your XML file?
Thanks!

As i understand , you mean the name and file location of your saved XML file.
If yes, than click File > Export > <check the saved file and location>

Multiple files with the same file name within the same folder

It looks like a finder bug. To replicate, I surf to any website, I right-click on a jpg image, select "Save Image As" and in the window that pops up I type in the filename "000.jpg", I select the folder Pictures, and click on Save.
BTW, I don't know why, but the file was saved only as "000" without the file extension ".jpg". Does anybody know why?
Then I surf to another image, and again I save it as "000.jpg" and now it asks me if I want to replace the existing filename, although the existing one is "000" and I try to save as "000.jpg", so I say yes, and then magically the file is saved with the full filename including the extension "000.jpg"
When I did it a couple of times, always saving image as "000.jpg" from various sources, I ended up with two distinct files named "000" and both in the same folder Pictures.
Please advise.

the extension is simply hidden. go to the get info panel for the file and uncheck the option to hide the extension.

it sounds to me like you saved one file as 000.jpg and the other and 000.jpg.jpg.
check the info panels for the files for full names to verify if this is the case.

Dynamic file name in Export: XML

I am generating a SQL report on a page that can be exported as XML File and It seems to me the file name come from the name of the report region by default and I 'd like use a value of an item as the XML file name.
I tried to put &P15_ITEM. as name of report region, then the XML file name I got is: p15_item[1]..xml. But if I change the Report Template back to Standard Template, the region name displays the value of P15_ITEM.
So, my question is, Is ther anyway we could reset the file name of the XML file, such as the value of an item, In Version 1.6.?
Million Thanks,
Ran

Thank you Raj for the direction
The way to do it is :
1. In ID, advanced tab, put a check on the adapter-specific message attributes - file name.
2. Put a "*" on the file name scheme
3. In IR, create a UDF to set up target file name :
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container
.getTransformationParameters()
.get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File","FileName");
// set up file name for receiver adapter
String SourceFileName = conf.get(key);
conf.put(key, TargetFileName);
return " ";
4. Map the above UDF to the header level of the target structure.

How to include the file name as an XML field

Hi,
I'm using a file adapter for process a flat file and convert it into an XML. Does anybody knows how to include the file name into an XML field.
Ex.
I process the file named XXIMN21022007.txt and I need an XML like:
<MT_FILE>
<field1></field1>
<field2></field2>
<field3></field3>
<filename>XXIMN21022007.txt</filename>
</MT_FILE>
Regards
Gonzalo

Just go for dynamic configuration.
Check the sender file adapter to write the filename in the header (as explained in Michal's blog) and then read that header in some mapping.
U can use that even in simple message mappings.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/43/03612cdecc6e76e10000000a422035/frameset.htm
Your code for the filename tag would be something like:
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container
 .getTransformationParameters()
 .get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create(
 http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File,
 FileName);
return conf.get(key);

Henrique.

Allowable Characters in the file names within Oracle iFS

What characters are allowable in file names within Oracle iFS?
Are slashes (/ \) possible?
Thanks,
Sai Mummalaneni.

Be carefull with file and directory names in iFS. You might be able to create folders and add document to it through the web interface that the windows explorer interface might not be able to interpret. Like a directory named '.'.

How can I change the name of the XML file which is submitted by mail?

Hello Everybody,
If I submit my pdf file as XML
I will get something like this:
MyFile.PDF -> submit as XML -> MyFile_data.XML
My problem is with the _data at the end of the file name -> this addition is coming from the windows logon language,
I know that because if the windows logon is in spanish I get the addition _datos for example: MyFile_datos.XML
Is there a way to change the name of the xml file for example : MyFile.XML
Thank you all in advance,
Eran

Hello Uti,
I found out it is something with the adobe reader installation.
If it is in English the suffix is _data
If it is in Spanish the suffix is _datos
If it is in Hebrew the suffix is _נתונים
So Now I think i will have to open OSS for this issue.
Thank you so much for your reply - I thought i was the only one with this problem...
Best Regards,
Eran

Dynamic file name of the attachment in sender mail adapter

Hi
I have configured a sender mail adapter which receives some attachments.
Right now the file name of the attachment is hardcoded to "MailAttachment-1" "MailAttachment-2" using the content-description from "AF_Modules/PayloadSwapBean" module.
I want to set it to dynamic ie. instead of "MailAttachment-1"... i want it with real name of the attach.
please suggest a solution w/o the need to develop a custom adapter module.
Thanks!
Regards,
Mariano.

Thanks Prateek,
Now, i can see that the name of the original file is into the content type named as text/xml; name"name of the file.xml" when i send the email from outlook.
If i send it from hotmail, this is not happend.
Do you know why happend this?
If i always would have the original name inside the content type, my problem will be solved.

Add file name to the element in target message

Hi all!
I try to configure scenario:
Get all files from directory (it will not be the same number of file every time) and mapping this file to the ERP system. I use File adapter to do this. But what Is necessary I need to mapp the file name to the element in target message.
I mean: When I have got the RFC structure imprted from ERP and there I have got the element "filename". I would like to put the file name of file which I mapping to this element. Next put the all file contents with file name to the ERP table.
It is possible to do that??
I found in sap help that I can keep file name in the message header to get the same target file name, but I wont to put file contents (with file name) to the ERP table not to another file.
THX for all your opinions.

File-2-Proxy: Get file name in the inbound proxy?

Hi,
I need to know the file name in the inbound proxy. After a search I found that's possible mapping the file name to the target structure as it's explained in that link: [http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs;jsessionid=(J2EE3417200)ID1731350750DB00274596951164745615End?blog=/pub/wlg/2664]
But I need to know if there is another way to access the file name in the inbound proxy without modifying the mapping.
Thanks.

this is possible by a dynamic configuration (there is no other easy way)
some references -
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs;jsessionid=(J2EE3417500)ID1159980350DB00296046510040545862End?blog=/pub/wlg/13704
the idea is to get the file name in runtime using the dynamic conf code and poulating it to any field that will be part of the proxy message

Changing file names in the Information Pane

Why doesn't changing the names of photographs in the Information Pane also change the name of the files in the iPhoto Library folder??
If I import photos direct from my camera, the photos are stored with generic file names (like DSC_006) in the Original Folder and the Data folder in iPhoto Library folder. Once stored there, I understand that if you move, delete or "rename" any of those files "in the Finder" that iPhoto may not thereafter be able to see them.
But I don't understand why if you change those file names in the Information Pane from within the iPhoto application, why the actual file names in the Original and Data folder aren't correspondingly changed.
I would prefer to eliminate the generic file names and presently the only way that I can do that is to simply transfer the photos from the memory cards, change the file names and then import the files into iPhoto.
This seems like an unnecessary step.
Am I missing something here?

If you want the capability of editing the original file names they you'll need to upgrade to a more professional application like iView MediaPro. Aperture doesn't let you change the original file names from within the application.
If you need to the use file outside iPhoto with the same name as the Title in iPhoto then you can do just as PhillyPhan pointed out, export to the Desktop using the User Title option.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Reading file names in the unix box

Hello,
I did the following to read the files from the local directory.
String s1 = "c:\samplefiles"
File dir = new File(s1);
if(dir.isDirectory())
String listoffiles [] = dir.list();
for(int i = 0; i <listoffiles.length ; i++)
System.out.println(listoffiles);
else
System.out.println("Its not a directory");
How can i read and print the file names in the unix box?
Thank You.
Kumar

Thank You for the reply.
In my custom page, i am trying to include a search page which includes date parameters based on which the pdf files in the unix box should be displayed in the page as a list. (The pdf file names start with the date).
Once the user clicks the file names displayed in the page, i need to open the pdf. This part i can handle but to search the file names based on the parameter names and display in the page as the list is a bit confusing.
Thank You.
