Splitting an input file using Transformation agent

Hi, I am trying to use transformation agent (adobe output central pro v5.5) to take and input file and split it into many output files based on a text string in the file.
However instead of splitting the file it, each output file containts all the input records upto the next file boundary. What I need is just the records between the file boundaries.
Any ideas what I have got wrong, or could this be a feature of the Trans Agent?
my TDF file is;
O " N 1500 N N N N O
F "^$PAGE 1" 1 8 -5
E data1 * "" 1 0 * 1 60 0 0 ""
#startscript Head
^job invoice_arch.pdf
#endscript
#startscript *
#for data1
@data1
#endfor
#endscript
thanks in advance

Specify an input file using Windows Explorer

Hi, I'm very new to Orchestrator.
Instead of writing stand-alone PowerShell scripts to perform tasks against an input file, I would like to use Orchestrator, thus avoiding the need to write the code.
Is there a way to specify an input file using Windows Explorer via Orchestrator? When invoked, I would like my Runbook to open up Windows Explorer, where I could navigate to my input file, then press OK and have my automated processes run. Do
I need to look beyond Orchestrator, say towards Service Manager, or is this natively available in Orchestrator?
Thanks,
Nick.

Hi,
there are several Ways.
you can use the SCO Webconsole, to start a Runbook and put in a Porpertie.
you can use SCSM with SMPortal to define the File
or you can use the free EUPSCO Portal, to build a Webfrontend for SCO

I am using your product "Outside in" to read unicode text from input
source file. For reading text I am using TReadFirst and TReadNext even
though "It is not picking unicode characters from input source file
and also it is giving zunk character to the buffer". How can I

Multiple Input Files using File adapter

hey Experts,
Wanted to know how i could pick up two different XML files using the Sender file adapter, which i want to process in my scenario, need ur suggestions, i dont want to use BPM. Thanks

When you use the "additional file" feature, you have to keep in mind that the additional file enters the Integration Engine as attachment of the primary file.
Modifying this attachment (or merging the two files) is difficult, as you can't use graphical mapping. Accessing the attachment with the other mapping techniques is often cumbersome as well.
With a BPM, you could use two sender communication channels and correlation, but this alternative seems to be no option for you.
Could you please tell us
1. whether or not the two files have the same message type,
2. which processing has to be performed afterwards and
3. where does it go to when it leaves the XI?
That would greatly help us.
Kind regards,
Dennis

Processing Large Files using Chunk Mode with ICO

Hi All,
I am trying to process Large files using ICO. I am on PI 7.3 and I am using new feature of PI 7.3, to split the input file into chunks.
And I know that we can not use mapping while using Chunk Mode.
While trying I noticed below points:
1) I had Created Data Type, Message Type and Interfces in ESR and used the same in my scenario (No mapping was defined)Sender and receiver DT were same.
Result: Scenario did not work. It created only one Chunk file (.tmp file) and terminated.
2) I used Dummy Interface in my scenario and it worked Fine.
So, Please confirm if we should always USE DUMMY Interfaces in Scenario while using Chunk mode in PI 7.3 Or Is there something that I am missing.
Thanks in Advance,
- Pooja.

According to this blog:
File/FTP Adapter - Large File Transfer (Chunk Mode)
The following limitations apply to the chunk mode in File Adapter
As per the above screenshots, the split never cosiders the payload. It's just a binary split. So the following limitations would apply
Only for File Sender to File Receiver
No Mapping
No Content Based Routing
No Content Conversion
No Custom Modules
Probably you are doing content conversion that is why it is not working.
Hope this helps,
Mark

How to format the spaces in a text file using bat file scripting

Currently the records in my text file are like this:
100239 0000015.00
QRP
I want them to be like this:
100266 0000015.00 QRP
There should be 6 spaces before the first column and 8 spaces after that. There should be 1 space between the second and third columns.
Generally this file contains approx 1000 records.
Any help is highly appreciated.
Thank you.

So far it's like this:
for /f "skip=2 delims=*" %%a in (C:\Bonus_File_Export.txt) do (
echo %%a >>C:\newfile.txt
xcopy C:\newfile.txt C:\Bonus_File_Export.txt /y
del C:\newfile.txt /f /q
I've to format a text file generated by the tool Microstrategy and it feed it to another system in a specific format. Ihave removed the headers with the above script but was unable to remove the spaces between those columns.
You can use this code as a basis for your script:
@echo off
set Line=
if exist d:\temp\newfile.txt del d:\temp\newfile.txt
for /F "skip=2 tokens=1-2" %%a in (d:\temp\test.txt) do call :Sub %%a %%b
goto :eof
:Sub
if not "%2"=="" (
set Line= %1 %2
) else (
echo %Line% %1>>d:\temp\newfile.txt
It works provided that your input file uses this format:
Header line
Header line
100239 0000015.00
QRP
100240 0000016.00
QRR
100241 0000017.00
QRS
100242 0000018.00
QRT
100243 0000019.00
QRU
100244 0000020.00

How to use an .xsl file to transform input XML to re-formatted output XML?

Hello,
I have a .xml file from a report that I want to use a stylesheet to transform into a different .xml format.
I am reading that I can create a .xsl file to read my input and then transform it to a new output .xml file.
How do I load this into the Apps?
I tried creating a template definition and loading the .xsl in as type 'XSL-TEXT' and also, I added
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="Transform.xsl"?> to my xml data source. The output looked the same as the input.
Has anyone done this before? Any suggestions would be great!
Thanks
-CC

This is how I use e4x with HTTPService:
import mx.collections.XMLListCollection;
import mx.rpc.events.ResultEvent;
[Bindable] private var claimsXLC:XMLListCollection;
private function claimsHandler(evt:ResultEvent):void{
claimsXLC = new XMLListCollection(evt.result..claim as XMLList);
XML data is being returned, but I use XMLList to create the XMLListCollection.

Help needed in splitting files using BPM

Hello experts,
I am working on an interface where i need to split files within BPM.
I know,i can achieve it in Message Mapping by mapping Recordset to Target structure and then using Interface Mapping within Transformation step.But i dont want to follow this.Is there an alternative way to achieve this within BPM.
I have an input file with multiple headers and i need to split for each header.My input file looks like this:
HXXXXXABCDVN01
MXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
MXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
SXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
HXXXXXABCDVN02
MXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
MXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
SXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
HXXXXXABCDVN03
MXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
SXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Is there a way, where i can specify this condition within BPM , that split files for every H.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Swathi

Hi,
have your target structure with occurence as 0...unbounded in the mapping and map the header filed to the root node (repeating parent node) of the target structure....this will create as many target messages as the header fileds....if you want to send these messages separately then use a block in BPM with ForEach option....
Splitting and Dynamic configuration can be applied in the same mapping.
Regards,
Abhishek.

Split records into Multiple csv files using a Threshold percentage

Hi Gurus,
I have a requirement to split the data into two csv file from a table using a threshold value(in Percentage) .
Assume that If my source select query of interface fetches 2000 records , I will provide a threshold value like 20%.
I need to generate a csv1 with 400 records(20% of 2000) and the rest of the records into another csv2.
For implementing this I am trying to use the following process.
1) Create a procedure with the select query to get the count of records.
Total Records count: select count(1) from source_table <Joins> <Lookups> <Conditions>;
2) Calculate the Record count to first CSV using the threshold_value.
CSV1_Count=Total records count /threshold_value
3) Create a view that fetches the CSV1_Count(400) records for CSV1 as follows.
Create view CSV1_view as select Col1,Col2,Col3 from source_table <Joins> <Lookups> <Conditions>
Where rownum<=CSV1_Count;
4) Generate CSV1 file using View 'CSV1_View'
5) Generate CSV2 File using the Interface with same select statement (with columns ) to generate a CSV.
select Col1,Col2,Col3 from source_table ST <Joins> <Lookups> <Conditions>
Left outer join (Select Col1 from CSV1_View ) CS on CS.Col1=ST.Col1 where CS.Col1 is null;
Which gives the Total records minus the CS1_View records.
The above process seems a bit complex and very simple . If any changes in my Interface I also need to change the procedure (counts the no:of records).
Please provide your comments and feedback about this and looking for your inputs for any new simple approach or fine tune the above approach.
Thanks,
Arjun

Arjun,
This are my thoughts and Lets do it in 3 Steps
Step 1. ODI Procedure
Drop table Temp_20 ;
Create table Temp_20 as select * from table where rownum < ( SELECT TRUNC( COUNT(1) /5) FROM TABLE ) .
[ ** This way iam fetching approx 20% of the table data and loading into Temp table . 1/5 th is 20% so i am dividing count by 5
I don't believe View will help you especially with RowNum as if you run the same query with rownum < N the rows order might differ . so Temp table is great ]
Step 2 . Use OdiSqlUnload with select columns from temp_20
Step 3 . Use again OdiSqlUnload with select columns from table where ( uk keys ) not in ( selecy uk_keys from temp_20)
[** this way you can pick the remaining 80% ** and the data will be not repeat itself across 20% and 80% , as might happen with view ]
what do you think ?

Help needed on Transforming input File to EDI Format

I have an input flat file in one location. Using BizTalk, i need to pick that file from that Recieve location, transform it to EDI format and send it to Destination location.
Now, when I place input file in the "Recieve location", it is being processed and it is erased from recieve location. But I am not able to see the output in the Destination location.
And when i query it in BizTalk Administration console, the state is "Completed" without any errors.
Any guidance/suggestions are appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi all, I have just collated everything and have put it in my words below..Please
let me know your valuable inputs as I am struck in this point from more than a week.
I need to fetch an input flat file (.txt format) from the "Receive location" and I am supposed to transform that to an EDI message X12 format and send it to Destination folder.
I have set up the receive port and send port configurations in the Admin Console, have created the Trading Partners, agreement and other settings.
The problem I am facing : Now, when I place input file in the "Receive location", it is being processed and I am able to pick up the file from the input folder
but I am not able to figure out why the file is not being processed and sent to the destination folder.. (If I query for All In Progress instances, suspended instances or Running instances : I am not getting any results and the below grid is always empty).
And when i query it in Biz-talk Administration console for Tracked instances, the Receive pipeline component's state is "Completed" without any errors.
And I am not using any Orchestration in between..
Thank you all in advance....
