Advanced selection of source file

Hi All,
i am working on a scenario in which file needs to be picked up from 3 different directories.say A, B and c
I configured in CC by giving 3 different directories.... in "Advanced selection of source file" option i have given directory B and C there.
....i am using Adapter specific message attributes also for this CC..
Its is working fine, But my issue is : i want to take the back back up for every directory file, means archive...
How can i do that???
please guide me through this.....am i missing any thing?
Please guide me..
Thanks,
Anu-

Hi Anu,
select processing mode as Archive and mention the archive directory path if u want to add timestamp to the file check the checkbox Add Time Stamp.

Advance select for source file in Sender File Adapter

Hi
I am trying to utilise the parameter 'Advance Selection for source file' on a sender file adapter to pick the file from multiple folders
My problem is that this parameter that is listed on the SAP help is not getting in File accessing Parameters.
I am running PI 7.02 (NW702_07_Rel)
Service pack 07
Has anyone come across this before?
any suggestions on how to do this?

Hi,
In PI7.0 the property exists. I have used it previously. I think SP was 13.

Advanced selection for source file

Hi,
Requirement: One source directory, multiple file names. File needs to be picked up from source directory and send to target directory with same name as source file name.
Source file name pattern sample: AP5_X_yyyyddmm, A35_X_yyyyddmm, AP5_Y_yyyyddmm, AP5_Y_yyyyddmm.
Target file name should be :AP5_X_yyyyddmm, A35_X_yyyyddmm, AP5_Y_yyyyddmm, AP5_Y_yyyyddmm
Can we define multiple place holders as :
Directory
File Name Mask
Exclusion Mask
\\Source
AP5_X*.txt, A35_X.txt, AP5_Y*.txt, AP5_Y*.txt
When I tried for single place holder, the scenario was working but when I tried adding multiple place holders it was not working.
How can we achieve the above scenario?
Thanks,
Vertika

Hi Amit,
Thanks for reply.
Yes you understood it right.
I am able to achieve this now. The only change that I did is instead of giving all the placeholders in same line I have given it in different lines and this is working now.
Sender Adapter Configuration: Checked Advanced selection for source file and used Adapter specific message attributes to keep same file name as source file name.
File Name Mask
File Name Mask
Exclusion Mask
\\Source
AP5_X*.txt
\\Source
A35_X*.txt
\\Source
AP5_Y*.txt
\\Source
A35_Y*.txt
I am closing this thread now.
Thanks,
Vertika

Advanced Selection for Source File + SourceFileSize = invalid file size?

Hi !
I have a File Adapter using FTP protocol. I've turn on all Adapter-Specific Message Attributes, including SourceFileSize. I've activated the Advanced Selection for Source File, and entered several patterns.
When I see my payload via the monitor, I get a "-" in the SourceFileSize value.
<sap:Record namespace="http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File" name="SourceFileSize">-</sap:Record>
If I disable the "Advanced Selection for Source File", the file size is ok.
Is it just me?
Thanks

maybe u need to check for some notes

File Adapter: Advanced selection for source file

Hi Experts,
I am doing file(Idoc format) to IDoc scenario. In my scenario I am getting files in three different formats (ex: abc.dat, xyz.dat, 123.edi). My communication channel (sender file adapter) should poll for every 30 mins, picks up the files and map them to Idoc without any mapping.
Need following clarifications:
1. Should I create 3 communication channels to pick up 3 different type files? Or should I use the Advanced selection for source file to pick up them with only one CC?
2. If there is no mapping how should I proceed in this case?
Regards,
Rams

>>1. Should I create 3 communication channels to pick up 3 different type files? Or should I use the Advanced selection for source file to pick up them with only one CC?
Not required.. if all the files are from the same directory then u can specify . in the file name parameter.. but make sure that only these 3 file types are places in the directory... if this is not the case you can use Advannced Selection... check my Wiki [Single Sender File CC For Multiple Directories|https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/XI/SingleSenderFileCCForMultipleDirectories]
>>2. If there is no mapping how should I proceed in this case?
Mappiing is required only if the source and the target structure are different.. if u send the file with the IDocc XML format mapping is not required...

Advance selection for source file-Error in communication channel monitoring

Hi all,
Referring to the link below:
/people/mickael.huchet/blog/2006/09/18/xipi-how-to-exclude-files-in-a-sender-file-adapter
I have developed my scenario in the same way.But due to the values <NOTHING>
in Mandatory fields Source Directory and Filename,i am facing problem in Communication Channel Monitoring as it shows an error;even though the end-to-end scenario works successfully.
Plase note that our scenario is not to exclude the particular file but to pick the files serially after a certain delay.
Kindly provide some idea about how can we remove the error from Communication Channel Monitoring.
Thanks & Regards,
Sudhir Tiwari

Sudhir,
In the sender file adapter, you have an option called "Processing Sequence".
By selecting ByName or ByDate you can make files get selected sequentially either ByName ( alphabetically ) or by the creation time stamp of the file.
In the sender file adapter also make the QOS as EOIO and give the QueueName as any value and the files will be processed sequentially.

How to go for Advance selction for source file in J2SE adapter

Hi all,
I am doing a file to file scenario using J2SE adapter.I have to pick file from two different directory we can easily achieve it in J2EE adapter using advance selection of source file but how to proceed in case of J2SE plain adapter.Please guide me with your knowledge.

This is not possible. You need different adapters, but you can use the same interface and namespace, so there should be no issue.

FTP to IDOC : multiple source files

Hi experts,
I finished designing my File-FTP to idoc scenario.
I still have one question left, I did tests with my FTP by putting one file in the directory called test.xml
In the case I would have multiple source files (i.e. test2.xml, test3.xml, ...testn.xml), how can I handle these different files to be sent to SAP ???
Thanks a lots, any help would be appreciated.
Regards,
Jamal

hi,
If you want to process all the ".xml" files in the folder then just give the file name "*.xml".It will process all
the xml file in the folder.
Advanced Selection for Source File:
If you want to process only the file name will start "a" , "b" and extension is xml then,
".xml" is the file name and "a" ,"b*" is the Exclusion Mask.

When using Multicam in CS6 how do I choose which source file the audio comes from?

I've noticed when using the Multi-cam window to create edits, the audio does not change when I select the different video sources. How do I select which source file the audio comes from?

It doesn't make sense why the multicam source sequence only uses one track of audio. Was this by design? The issue with this as in my situation (and because I didn't know this) I recorded all my source videos with the music tracks on the right side which is what I'm using to cut my video with. Not being able to hear this while I'm cutting is really frustrating. There's a reason I separate dialog on the left side and music on the right. There should at a minimum be an option while setting up the multicam to choose more audio options. Even in the audio clip option settings, those don't seem to work when a clip is put into a multicam source sequence.
The other issue is when you bring in the audio after the fact or even before, there's no way to sync timecode with audio to the multicam sequence. When I create the Multicam source sequences in my project bin, I choose sync with timecode, not in points, because the record decks I'm using are all locked with a TC gen during the shoot.
Maybe I'm missing something, but there seems to be either a bug with multicam or a design flaw. Even in the help documentation, it states multiple audio tracks can be brought in with the multicam sequence, but only track one is enabled by default. I've never been able to have the MC sequence bring in more than one track of audio no matter what the audio settings are.

FDM import script with selectable source file

Hi All,
I would like to build an import script attached to an import format that imports a text file with multiple value columns.
Source file:
Entity, Detail, Account 1, Account 2
E_abc, D_abc, 100, 200
In FDM this needs to be:
Entity, Detail, Account, Amount
E_abc, D_abc, Account 1, 100
E_abc, D_abc, Account 2, 200
So i need to loop through the file.
My biggest challenge is that when i attach a script to an import format in the import process i cannot select a file from inbox anymore, it has to be a pre-defined file.
Has someone an example or solution how to make a script-import format and enable the select file from inbox?
And if possible has someone an example script of the issue stated above?
Thanks in advance,
Marc

Hi Wayne..
Thanks for your reply (and sorry for the delay in mine).
Could you tell me what script to use to open the file in the befImport script, or how to rename the file in memory to a new one?
So i write a script that rewrites the file to a new file in the inbox but i need to tell FDM that it needs to process this new file.
Thanks,
Marc

Screen Saver doesn't allow SOURCE SELECTION but automatically begins to download unknown files. I have to force quit, but it does the same thing each time I try to select a source.

UPDATE : Toshiba Recovery Wizard 'cannot read from source file or disk' error (satellite L500)

UPDATE 2: Phoned Toshiba tech support again, guided by techie to begin the recovery again. Just before phoning I was able to go into recovery options and view the drive setup and all the files that couldn't be read are on the CD so I've no idea why the error kept occuring, and neither did the techie. Fingers crossed it works this time but I'm not overly hopefully given that we've just done exactly the same as I did before. UPDATE 1: I got into the BIOS and reset everything back to defaults and yay, my toshiba recovery wizard now starts! :-D On the down side, when trying to do a factory default software / out of the box recovery I continually get error messages with regards to copying the files, for example
cannot read from source file or disk
7z.dll
Type application extension
size 585kb
date modified 7/14/2009 10.26pm
other read / copy errors include PREINST6.SWM, BOOT_32, BOOTPRIORITY, CHECKMAXPTSIZE, CHGBOOT, CPU, CPUCHECK, CREATEPARTITION, CTRLDRVINFO, DISKWIPE, DMI, DPINST32, EBLIB.DLL, ERRORDIALOG, EW3BOOTSEQ, FWLINK, FWLINK.SYS, GETHDDINFO, GETKEYSTATE, IMAGEX, INFILED, INITRECAREA, KRAIADAPI.DLL ..... at which point I decided to 'skip all' :-/
Any explanations as to what's going on and how I might be able to fix it would be very much appreciated! :-) Thank you!
I have a two and half year old satellite L500 with an Intel i-3 and 4 gigs of RAM, on which I was running Windows 7.
Admittedly it’s had rather a hard life (I ran some very demanding CAD / graphics software on it) but it had always performed well until just recently, when after suffering several BSOD (which had never happened before), the hard drive failed.
I partitioned and formatted a brand new hard drive (which is perfectly fine and functions normally when hooked up to another laptop with a SATA to USB cable) and obtained system recovery discs from Toshiba. Unfortunately, when I try and run the first disc, windows starts to load files but then generates an error screen with the message Error F3-F100-0003 and a request to turn the computer off.
When I use the windows Memory Diagnostic to get into the Windows Boot Manager Screen I get the following;
Windows failed to start. A recent hardware / software change might be the case.
To fix the problem
Insert your windows installation disc and restart your computer
Choose your language settings and click ‘next’
Click ‘repair your computer’
File: \boot\memtest.exe
Status: 0xc000000f
Info: the selected entry could not be loaded because the application is missing or corrupt.
I can also use F8 on startup to get into the advanced boot options but selecting any of them simply results in the F3-F100-0003 error message. I’ve run a memory test using the UBCD, which tells me the memory is fine, and tried another hard drive (which also works perfectly well in another laptop) but no joy. On phoning Toshiba support the techie said my hard drive had failed, but as I say, both hard drives are perfectly fine / usable when hooked up to another laptop. I’m now completely stuck as to what the problem is and how I might resolve it – any advice / suggestions would be most gratefully received! Thank you in advance :-)

Satellite L655-S5096
Downloads here.
the second disc gives me the the "cannot read from source file or disk PREINST8.SWM"
My best guess is that the disc is not readable. Try copying it to another. Sometimes that works.
Otherwise, order new discs from Toshiba.

Bulk create Active Directory Users and Groups in PowerShell using Excel XLSX source file instead of CSV

Hi Scripting Guy. I am a Server Administrator who is very familiar with Active Directory, but new to PowerShell. Like many SysAdmins, I often need to create multiple accounts (ranging from 3-200) and add them multiple groups (ranging
from 1 - 100). Previously I used VBS scripts in conjunction with an Excel .XLS file (not CSV file). Since VBS is essentially out the door and PowerShell is in - I am having to re-create everthing.
I have written a PowerShell script that bulk creates my users and adds them to their corresponding groups - however, this can only use a CSV file (NOT an XLS file). I understand that "CSV is much easier to use than Excel worksheets", but
most times I have three sets of nearly identical groups (for Dev, QA and Prod). Performing Search and Replace on the Excel template across all four Worksheets ensures the names used are consistent throughout the three environments.
I know each Excel Worksheet can be exported as a separate CSV file and then use the PowerShell scripts as is, but since I am not the only SysAdmin who will be using these it leads to "unnecessary time lost", not to mention the reality that even
though you clearly state "These tabs need to be exported using this naming standard" (to work with the PowerShell scripts) that is not the result.
I've been tasked to find a way to modify my existing PowerShell/CSV scripts to work with Excel spreadsheets/workbooks instead - with no success. I have run across many articles/forums/scirpts that let you update Excel or export AD data into an Excel
spreadsheet (even specifying the worksheet, column and row) - but nothing for what I am trying to do.
I can't imagine that I am the ONLY person who is in this situation/has this need. So, I am hoping you can help. How do I modify my existing scripts to reference "use this Excel spreadsheet, and this specific worksheet in the spreadsheet
prior to performing the New-ADUser/Add-ADGroupMember commands".
For reference, I am including Worksheet/Column names of my Excel Spreadsheet Template as well as the first part of my PowerShell script. M-A-N-Y T-H-A-N-K-S in advance.
   Worksheet: Accounts
     Columns: samAccountName, CN_DisplayName_Name, sn_LastName, givenName_FirstName, Password, Description, TargetOU
   Worksheets: DevGroups / QAGroups / ProdGroups
    Columns: GroupName, Members, MemberOf, Description, TargetOU
# Load PowerShell Active Directory module

# Set parameter for location of CSV file (so source file only needs to be listed once).
$path = ".\CreateNewUsers-CSV.csv"
# Import CSV file as data source for remaining script.
$csv = Import-Csv -path $path | ForEach-Object {
# Add '@saccounty.net' suffix to samAccountName for UserPrincipalName
$userPrincinpal = $_."samAccountName" + "@saccounty.net"
# Create and configure new AD User Account based on information from the CSV source file.

-DisplayName $_."cn_DisplayName_Name" `
-GivenName $_."givenName_FirstName" `
-SurName $_."sn_LastName" `
-SamAccountName $_."samAccountName" `
-UserPrincipalName $userPrincinpal `

Here is the same script as a function:
Function Get-ExcelSheet{
Param(
$fileName = 'C:\scripts\test.xls',
$sheetName = 'csv2'
$conn = New-Object System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection("Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source = $fileName;Extended Properties=Excel 8.0")
$cmd=$conn.CreateCommand()
$cmd.CommandText="Select * from [$sheetName$]"
$conn.open()
$cmd.ExecuteReader()
It is called like this:
Get-ExcelSheet -filename c:\temp\myfilename.xslx -sheetName mysheet
Do NOT change anything in the function and post the exact error. If you don't have Office installed correctly or are running 64 bits with a 32 bit session you will have to adjust your system.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
