Creating .RTF output files - PI7.0 Receiver file adapter

Hi Experts,
I am currently facing an issue with the Receiver File adapter where in the output files are required to be of the format of .RTF (Rich Text Format).
The scenarios is an outbound proxy from SAP ABAP - > PI 7.0 -> .RTF File
All the data required to be present in the file will be coming in the source structure
Can the File Receiver Adapter handle this ?
Is there a way to generate Files with extension .rtf ??
It is a requriement since the output files will be used as Reports , and so the desired format.
I am unsure if I will have to use XSLT mapping , in this because i am new to that , Kindly let me know how to go about it ,. any links or pointers on how to achieve the same will be welcome.
thanks
Dev

Thanks for your reponse Praveen
Can you please let me know how can i put the extension as .rtf for the output files i am generating ??
as far as the formatting is concerned ... it is like ... the header needs to be of a particular Font , a particular font size , bold etc and so is the case for line items
I am unsure if it is possible using an Adapter module as well
thanks

Output file formats in receiver file adapter

Hi,
Is it possible to create a tab delimited or a .CSV file in a receiver file adapter ??
-Teresa

HI,
It is possible to create a tab delimited/.csv file in a receiver file adapter by choosing "File content conversion" as a Message Protocol. But you need to do content conversion based on structure.

Basic question, how to create rtf template with a given xml file

Hello guys
I am new to BI publisher and I am learning how to create rtf templates using given xml fiel definitions by following the bi publisher guide
The steps I am following is:
1, create template using template builders, which is downloaded into MS words.
2, In the empty template, map the xml columns with template field using BI publisher tag
3, upload the template to BI Publisher as a layout.
That's all I can understand.
My question is:
1,in which above step do I import XML file into template builder (if not bi publisher), how to do so?
2,After template is created, how to associate this template layout with existing reports in BI Publisher, or is it necessary at all?
3,In the template content in MS Word template builder, what should I enter other than BI publisher tags for mapping XML field to desired template field
Or, if my understand of this process is entirely wrong, what's the right process of creating rtf template with a given XML file definition
Thanks

If you have a BI Publisher desktop installed, have a look a the demos,.. should answer most of your basic questions.
(Windows) Start->Programs->Oracle BI Publisher Desktop->Demos
Invoice Demo - good one for those with E-Business Suite

"Put file" Option in Receiver File Adapter

Hi All,
Even though this seems to be a basic Question, i didn't found any answer to this in SDN.
Please share your thoughts on this.
We have one option called Put file in the receiver file adapter, When i read the use of this option i found some thing on SAP help.
But i am not clear about that option, if any one can clear that, it would be great.
Regards

Hi,
Put file is put the file directle in the receiver file path.
there are 2 options for put file
1. Directly    2. Use Temporary File.
Directly:   Directly will directly place the file in specified folder. In some cases ur file is large then this option wont work.
Use Temporary File:    In some cases u want to wait more time to create output file then the sepecified poll interval.In that cases in file is read some data and saved in a temporary file, after reading or completion of whole file then only only it will place the file in speficied server path.
Thanks,

is there any way to have access to Filename in different root elements??

Hi Ralf,
i think, you need for each XML msg (each different root element) a new adapter -> a new IF determination, new rec agreement and a new channel.

Payload as File name at Receiver File Adapter

Hi All,
I have a requirement for a PROXY to File Scenario where Receiver files has to be named dynamically with a value from the Payload that I get. Also the particular field that has the file name should be unmapped with the Receiver.
For Example,
   <row>
      <Name>Alex</Name>
      <DOB>27062014</DOB>
      <City>Delhi</City>
   </row>
If this is the Payload I get, I want the Receiver file name to be "27062014.txt". At the same time this particular field should not be mapped at the Receiver end.
I have tried a few links which confuse me further.Kindly help me,
Thanks in advance,

Output CSV File Naming Convention - Receiver File Adapter

Dear SAP experts,
I need help regarding my scenario.
My scenario is this, Customer will send EDI message to XI. XI will then translate the message and convert it into XML.. After, a Receiver File Adapter will receive the XML then convert it into .csv file.
I've already configured the Receiver File Adapter to convert the XML into .csv file.
But, my problem now is how will I configure to have my output .csv file has a File Naming Convention.
The output .csv file must be "CustomerName_YearMonthDate".
From the EDI message, there is indicated Sender GLN in which, each customer has its own Sender GLN.
E.g., Globus --> 200, Karstadt --> 300, Metro --> 400.
How will I configure so that I can have an output .csv file of,
If Globus sends the EDI message, the output .csv file is Globus_20080304.csv.
If Karstadt, Karstadt_20080304.csv.
If Metro, Metro_20080304.csv.
Kindly advise for a clear and complete solution.
Thank you very much for your usual support.
Fred

Hi Nisar,
My target message (XML) in the mapping is this,
- <ns0:CSV>
    - <SLI>
           <PERIO> </PERIO>
           <ILN> </ILN?
           <EAN> </EAN>
perio, iln, and ean was rooted on SLI field. and the CSV is the rootnode of the target message.
I have created a UDF on the message mapping to accomodate the output customer name, here is the codes:
String fname="";
if(GLN.equals("23456"))
fname ="Globus" +dat;
else if(GLN.equals("5678"))
fname ="Karstadt"+dat;
else if(GLN.equals("6789"))
fname ="Metro"+dat;
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container
    .getTransformationParameters()
    .get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create(
    "http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File",
    "FileName");
    conf.put(key,fname );
E.g.,
Globus --> 23456 (Sender GLN)
Karstadt --> 5678 (Sender GLN)
Metro --> 6789 (Sender GLN)
This UDF i've made in the Message Mapping was mapped in the root node CSV.
Is this UDF correct?
Then on the File Receiver Configurations, here are the configs,
Transport Protocol: File System (NFS)
Message Protocol: File Content Conversion
Adapter Engine: Integration Server
File Access Parameters
Target Directory: /var/opt/gsss/sample/csv
File Name Scheme: .csv
Processing Parameters
File Construction Mode: Create

Recordset Structure: SLI
SLI.addHeaderLine: 3
SLI.headerLine: PERIO;ILN;EAN

Kindly advise if my configs are correct.
Thank you very much!

Variable substitution not working for dynamic file name in Receiver File CC

Hi Experts,
I am doing the scenario of Proxy sender to File receiver and my purpose is to Create the text file
as per the filename available in Source Message payload.
I am using the Variable Substitution method for this as shown below.
Source Message Structure:-
     <Row>            -
having Cocurence 1.1
         <Filename>     -
having Cocurence 1.1
         <Item>            -

          <Field1>
          <field2>
            <Item>
     <Row>
Target structure is same as the source structure and i have mapped the Filename field of the Source
with the Target structure Filename.
In ID the following is the File receiver CC Configuration.
File Name Scheme:- %Dyn_filename%
In Advance tab, I have selected the Enable option and added one row as Variable name %Dyn_filename%
and Reference as payload:Row,1,Filename,1
In testing I am getting the Error as 'variable Dyn_filename is not found in Message payload'.
Please suggest me.

Dynamic File name in Receiver File adapter

Hi,
My Scenario is Proxy to File.
I must create filename dynamically in the receiver file adapter by taking the sales order number and divison from the source.
How can i create a dynamic filename? i searched the forum, but i could not get the correct answer,
Please help me out.
Regards
Srinivas

Hi Srinivas,
> My Scenario is Proxy to File.
> I must create filename dynamically in the receiver file adapter by taking the sales order number and divison from the source.
public String targetFileName(String Sono, String Div, Container container) throws StreamTransformationException
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration)container.getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File","FileName");
String MyFileName = sono + div + "<filename>"+".xml";
conf.put(key, MyFileName);
return MyFileName;
File name you can format according to your requirement.
And one more thing for this you have to specify the ASMA properties. For this check the below link step-1 and step-2.

Dynamic File Name for Receiver File Adapter

Hi All,
How can we use dynamic name for Receiver file adapter?
Can anyone help.
Thanks in Advance
Chemmanz

Hi Chemmanz,
The dynamic filename generation concept is as follows.
In your filename field. just give a variable with % symbols. (eg: %file% ).
Now, under the option Variable Name Substitution, you can give how the value has to be created.
It can be your interface name, sender service name, etc or it can be some value dynamically from your payload.
For the former, your give
message:interface_name ,etc
and for the payload part you give,
Payload: "your element root which u wanna acecss"
Just check this link out,
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/bc/bb79d6061007419a081e58cbeaaf28/content.htm
And read the contents under variable substitution and it will help you understand the concepts better.
If you have any clarifications, do get back,

How to give a dynamic File Name for Receiver File/FTP Adapter.

Hi Experts,
    I have one scenario in which we are creating a flat file of IDOC which is coming from R/3 & sending it to FTP location. For this we have configured Receiver FTP adapter with File Name Scheme as "NT.out" & in File Consturction mode i have given as "Add Time Stamp".
    therfore while creating a file it is creating as NTyyyyMMdd-HHmmss-SSS.out
where as my requirement is only to to add Time & not the Date. (NThhmmss.out)
    How to do this ?
    for your info we are using ABAP Mapping.
    Pl help me
Regards,
Umesh

Hi Umesh,
      Add one more field to your target structure for your file name and populate that field as per your requirement like NTyyyyMMdd.out. In receiver communication channel use Variable subtiution option and give the refrence of Payload and file construction mode set as create.
And refer the below weblogs for Variable Subtiutuion File Name Scheme

Archiving files in the Receiver File Adapter

Hi All,
I am trying to archive the file created in the Receiver File adapter. Reading from the link below,
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/bc/bb79d6061007419a081e58cbeaaf28/content.htm
I gave the command cp %F <target dir> in the Command Line of "Run Operating System Command After Message Processing". As well as I tried cmd.exe copy %f <target file>
But it does not work. Can anyone please help me out?
Thanks
Shivanjali

Hi Aamir,
For my case its not feasible to make a bat file...
I want to write a direct OS command in adapter only.
Do you know what is the basic difference for running OS command before processing and after processing.
In my opinion if i use a OS command after file processing then it ll take a file name with timestamp so there may be a problem...
thanks

Change file extension in receiver file adapter

File to File Scenario
Posted: Sep 11, 2006 3:47 PM Reply E-mail this post
I am working on a File to File scenario.
Source System gives out a file: abc ( with no extension)
We need to archive it as: abc.done
And we need to send it to a FTP server ( receiver File adapter) as abc.txt.
How can I append a file extension when I archive and
how can I change the file extension in the receiver File adapter?
FYI, we are using XI as FTP server so I have created dummy message interface with no mapping.

Hi,
If I understood correctly once XI picks up the file it should be archieved as filename.doc and then it should be FTP'ed to a different location with a change in extension filename.txt.
1. To Archive in the sender communication channel you can use OS Commands after prosessing (>=SP14) to rename the file and archive it. Suggested write a batch file which will rename the file and call the batch file from the OS Command of the sender file adapter. You can either use Archive functionaliy of the Sender adapter or you can write one more command in batch file to move the file to different folder. Make sure you are using fullpath while writing batch file.
2. As said use dynamic configuration in a dummy mapping and then get the source file name and change the extension.

Problem: Merging same Files into 1 File using BPM, Receiver File empty.

Hi All,
I am trying a scenario where I need to merge two similar files into one single file (Append) using BPM
I am following the same structure as defined in the predifined BASIS Namespace i.e. http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/Patterns for Integration Process BpmPatternCollectPayloads. The only thing I changed is that inside my loop I am having a container dat counts till 2.
Now when m testing d interface, the file @ reciver directory is generating, but without any data i.e an empty xml is generating. PI is also not showing any error anywhere.
My Message mapping structure is as follows:
Sender Side:
<Message>    (1..1)
   <Message1> (1..1)
       <MT_myMessageType> (0..unbounded)
                <Records> (1..1)
                        <Id(Used for correlation)> (1..1)
                        <Name>   (1..1)
                        <Address> (1..1)
Receiver Side:
<Message>    (1..1)
   <Message1> (1..1)
       <MT_myMessageType> (1..1)
                <Records> (0..Unsbounded)
                        <Id(Used for correlation)> (1..1)
                        <Name>   (1..1)
                        <Address> (1..1)
Can anyone plz help me.

Inbound Message after PE, is empty, so the Request Message Mapping (Technical routing) step is also showing a Empty XML without any structure.
So you mean to say The inbound Message for BPM -
> File is empty?.....this clearly means that
1) the transformation step in BPM is not producing the required XML
2) some validation is imposed in the mapping...which if not satisfied is not creating the target structure.....
Can you ensure that the transformation step outside the block is working properly....and that your BPM design is exactly same as in BpmPatternCollectPayload (except the number of times the loop is executed)......
just few days back even i was stuck in a similar situation....the transformation step outside a Block was not producing a particular element in the target......i made some dummy changes in the mapping and then again included in the transformation step and then my BPM worked fine.......so the conclusion is either the data from block is not going into the transformation step or the transformation step is not creating the target.....
Regards,
Abhishek.
