Date appended to file name

Hi
I want to append date to my attachement name, to achieve this I went to scheduling and scheduled my report and gave attachment name as my_file_%y%m%d as specified by Tim in his blog (http://blogs.oracle.com/xmlpublisher/2009/12/dynamic_delivery_file_naming.html), but it is just giving the characters as they are instead of year month date appended to file name, my output is excel and our environment is standalone BIP.
Anyone help me on this.

Can I append date to the file name using Bursting

Hi All,
I know that we can append date to the file using %y, %m and %d for
Email
FTP
WEBDAV
But is there any way of appending the date to the file name if I am bursting my file to a shared location.
I tried that %y, %m and %d but that doesn't work for bursting.
Please reply
Thanks,
Ronny

If this requirment is for EBS, please refer the following blog
http://blogs.oracle.com/BIDeveloper/2010/08/xdoburstrpt_passing_parameters.html
For standalone see the following delivery sql query as example.
select

'RTF' TEMPLATE_FORMAT,
'en-US' LOCALE,
'PDF' OUTPUT_FORMAT,
'FILE' DEL_CHANNEL,

Append SFW file name in action

Sorry if this has been answered before. I found a lot of similar questions but no answers.
If I record an action that includes Save for Web, I can either leave the name unchanged (and the individual file name will be used when I play the action) or change the name (and that name will be used every time I play the action). But it does not let me append the file name.
For example, I want to create 3 sizes of each image and have each one named filename_sm.jpg, filename_md.jpg and filename_lg.jpg.
Currently, I export each size to a different folder (with the original file name), use NameChanger to append the name, then move the images to their final destination. I thought that, in its 12th incarnation, Photoshop would have a more efficient way of dealing with this issue.

xbytor has provided Scripts that convert Actions to JavaScript named »ActionToJavascript.jsx« and »ActionFileToJavascript.jsx«.
You should be able to find them on this site
http://www.ps-scripts.com/
And you can use »ScriptingListener.plugin« (by moving it into the »Automate«-Folder) to record what you do in Photoshop (not brush-work, though, I’m afraid, basically steps that would also record in an Action) to use in JavaScript later on.
What's missing from the actions is a way to edit them, You can re-record a step but you cannot edit it to fine-tune it.
The way I see it, you can either have it real simple and use Actions or somewhat more involved and use Scripts.
Anyway, you could look over in the Feature Request Forum if the features you do miss have been requested in the past and add your support or create a new request.
I guess it is a bit like with the gears of a car – you can probably get around never using the fourth gear if you never drive on highways, but for certain purposes it might be beneficial to use it after all.
Same with Photoshop Scripts – you can be a proficient and efficient creator/editor of amazing images in Photoshop without using custom Scripts, but certain tasks (which may or may not be relevant to your work) run »smoother« with Scripts.

Append date to exporting file name in SQL reporting service

When exporting a report to another format, say excel,PDF; the file name is always set to the report name. Our client has a requirement where whenever a user exports a report to pdf, the timestamp of when the data of the report was made should be appended in the filename. Is there a way to do this in Reporting Services as well as report builder?
example : Report name : Testreport
Exported file should be : Testreport-November-22-20076.pdf
please help me in this
Thanks

Hi,
I know it's been while since this question was posted. I am replying so that it'll be useful for other people when they come across this same situation.
If you have access to SQL Server Agent to create jobs then this idea will be helpful -
1. Connect to your Report Server from SSMS.
2. Note the ItemID for your report by executing this query
select *
from ReportServer..Catalog
where Path like '%NameofyourReport%'
3. Create a job in here with the name say "AppendDatetoxyzreport" and add a step in it with the code
UPDATE [Catalog]
SET [Path] = '/PathofyourrerportfromReportServer/ReportName_' + CONVERT(VARCHAR(8), GETDATE(), 112),
[Name] = '/ReportName_' + CONVERT(VARCHAR(8), GETDATE(), 112)
WHERE ItemID ='<ItemID>'
4. Create another job with a name like "RemoveDatexyzreport" and add a step in it with the code
UPDATE [Catalog]
SET [Path] = 'PathofyoureportinReportserver/ReportName',
[Name] = 'ReportName''
WHERE ItemID = '<ItemID>'
5. Now set your AppendDatetoxyzreport job schedule to execute first, then the Report's subscription and then the RemoveDatexyzreport.
By doing this the first job changes the name to include present date, then you get you report and the next job sets it back to its previous name.

Append Date & Time to File name

i have a folder name LOG . the folder contains a number of files. i want to append the current date and time to each
filename
LOG
PCone.csv
PCTwo.csv
PCThree.csv
i want to add date time to each file in the folder
output should be
PCONE 2014-12-16 12:01:44.csv
PCTwo.csv 2014-12-16 12:01:44.csv
PCThree.csv 2014-12-16 12:01:44.csv

I know this is probably to late for you but in case others have the same question use the following method:
First example is for Universal Time (London)
Get-Service | Export-Csv c:\temp\Services-$(((get-date).ToUniversalTime()).ToString("yyyyMMddThhmmssZ")).csv
This example is for local time formatted the way I would want it:
"c:\temp\Services-$((get-date).ToString('yyyy-MM-dd hh-mm-ss tt')).csv"
Windows does not allow for a colon ":" to be used in a file name so you will need to choose a different separator. Frankly I'm fine with a hyphen "-" but that might just be me.
The following artical will give you all the formatting options.

Creating a spool file with date/time appended to file name

In Oracle Sql*Plus, I want to spool out a file, with the date-time stamp as part of the file name. Any idea how to do this?
Here's what I have right now:
SQL>
set serveroutput on size 200000;
rem
rem $OFSA is a UNIX alias so sql plus is talking to UNIX
rem
spool $OFSA/logs/OFSAP/common_coa_id.log;
prompt 'Enter date in mmddyyyy format, without quotes';
exec upd_common_coa_id_driver ('&date_mmddyyyy');
spool off;
As an example, I'd like to have a file with this name: common_coa_id083002.log
Thanks.

In SQL*Plus this is what you can do to get the current date/time as part of the spool file:
============================================================================================
SQL> column tm new_value file_time noprint
SQL> select to_char(sysdate, 'YYYYMMDD') tm from dual ;
1 row selected.
SQL> prompt &file_time
20020816
SQL> spool C:\Temp\logfile_id&file_time..log
. /* put your code here */
. /* it will go to a file called C:\Temp\logfile_id20020816.log */
SQL> spool off

How to add Yesteday's date in AL11 File name ?

Hi Experts,
Can anyone please reply to my Query ?
We have to generate the *.TXT file as an output of Open Hub Destination.
For this the File Naming convention should be Yesterday's date + .TXT. ( for example if today's date is 27.07.2011 then the file name should be 20110726.TXT).
Here I could generate the file name using <YYYY><MM><DD> for today's only ( 20110727.TXT). But We need to generate the Yesterday's date here..
I tried to create the Function module ( FILENAME_EXIT_TEST) as suggested in F1 on that Physical Location input area. And I tried to give the Physical location as <F=FILENAME_EXIT_TEST>.TXT.
But I'm getting the error as " The Function Module doesnot exist" or "Function Module FILENAME_EXIT_TEST is unknown".
But I'm sure the FM is available and activated already.
Could you please let me know, How to fix this issue.
NOTE: I have created this Function Module with Export parameter as OUTPUT and DATS Associated type. In the Source code I have written as OUTPUT = SY-DATUM - 1.
Edited by: jayaprakash j on Jul 28, 2011 2:30 PM

Hi All,
I got the solution.
The code which i had written in the FM is wrong.
OUTPUT = SY-DATUM - 1. // Wrong.
The correct one is below :
DATA: Temp TYPE SY-DATUM.
Temp = SY-DATUM - 1.
OUTPUT = Temp.
And after that, in FM's Export tab, it should be Export parameter as OUTPUT and checked the "Pass value" check box.
For the Physical File : <F=TEST>.txt.
Here the FM which i created was FILENAME_EXIT_TEST.
When I am calling the corresponding Logical file in the APD, It is working fine.
Thanks for your inputs.

Setting Date value in File Name while scheduling report to File System

I am trying to set the file name as %SI_Name% Current Date.extension in Destination section while scheduling a crystal report to File system.
So in Use Specific Name section i have added %SI_NAME% %SI_STARTTIME%.%EXT%.
Schedule works fine for me and I get the document in the file location with name 'Title 2009-06-26-12-53-17.pdf".
But I dont want time to be printed in the title, so the title should be "Title 2009-06-26.pdf". How i can achieve this.

How to auto save output with date added to file name, and email the results?

Hi,
We found a script to capture disk space usage, that automatically places the results into an Excel file. We would like the script to autosave this file to a specific directroy with the date ran as part of teh file name. We would then like these results to
be emailed to us if possible. (also if possible to highlight cell in red that is 5% OR less available disk space would be great)
Here is what we have:
$erroractionpreference = “SilentlyContinue”
$a = New-Object -comobject Excel.Application
$a.visible = $True
$b = $a.Workbooks.Add()
$c = $b.Worksheets.Item(1)
$c.Cells.Item(1,1) = “Machine Name”
$c.Cells.Item(1,2) = “Drive”
$c.Cells.Item(1,3) = “Total size (GB)”
$c.Cells.Item(1,4) = “Free Space (GB)”
$c.Cells.Item(1,5) = “Free Space (%)”
$c.cells.item(1,6) = "Name "
$d = $c.UsedRange
$d.Interior.ColorIndex = 19
$d.Font.ColorIndex = 11
$d.Font.Bold = $True
$d.EntireColumn.AutoFit()
$intRow = 2
$colComputers = get-content "C:\Servers.txt"
foreach ($strComputer in $colComputers)

$c.Cells.Item($intRow, 2) = $objDisk.DeviceID
$c.Cells.Item($intRow, 3) = “{0:N0}” -f ($objDisk.Size/1GB)
$c.Cells.Item($intRow, 4) = “{0:N0}” -f ($objDisk.FreeSpace/1GB)
$c.Cells.Item($intRow, 5) = “{0:P0}” -f ([double]$objDisk.FreeSpace/[double]$objDisk.Size)

File-File - Need to extract data from source file name???

Hello Experts,
I have a unique situation. In my file to file scenario, the source file name is of the format XYZ_yymmddHHMM.dat. there is field in the target file which has to filled with the date that is there in the file name of the source file (yymmdd). How can this be achieved? Normally we do the other way round using vaiable substitution where we can name a file depending on the value in any of the target field structure.
Please help.
Regards,
Yash

Hi,
please prepare the udf with the following code.
i mean, dynamic configuration concept.
where u get the file name, then use substring function to capture date from right side.
//write your code here
// getFileName User Defined Function
// function to create name of output file
String filename;
filename = strFile;
try {
// initialize DynamicConfiguration for create file with given name
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container
.getTransformationParameters()
.get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create( "http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File", "FileName");
//create file with the specified name
conf.put(key, filename);
} catch (Exception ex) {
return filename;
warm regards

Can I script the changing of creation date, using the file name?

Normally people are doing this in reverse, but let me paint the picture.
I pulled 204 video files from an old HDD based JVC camera. JVC records in .MOD format which iPhoto won't import. I imported them into iMovie just fine, and iMovie even set the file name to clip-2007-11-04 04;42;29.mov which is great, but it now has a new creation date of whatever date I imported it. Which then causes problem when I want the videos stored in iPhoto and sorted appropriately by creation date.
I've used the application "A Better Finder Attributes 5" to individually edit the creation and modify, but I'm sure I don't want to do this 203 more times, as you can't just type in the date and time, you have to type in each part of the date/time, or select it on a calendar.
I've used the application "Name Changer" to batch convert the file names to the format YYYYMMDDhhmm which would be helpful if I were going to use the terminal command touch -t, but again I don't want to have to type it in 203 more times, plus drag and drop the file into finder to populate the location.
Now, if I were more handy with automator, or maybe some (any) scripting language this would be easy peasy. I'd batch rename all the files to the YYYYMMDDhhmm.mov and then have a script that just took the file name, passed that to touch -t along with the file location, and a few seconds later, they would all be done!
Anybody have any suggestions to how I can do this, and tips to what commands to use or ANY advice? I'm more than happy to RTFM, but I have no idea which manual to read!
Thanks

If your file names are precisely as you have written, this script will do what you want.
Copy the script into an AppleScript Editor document, select one or more files in a Finder window, return to the AS Editor and press Run. Note: you will need to provide your password when the script runs.
Make sure you have a backup of any files you are working on (try using duplicates first, perhaps). The script has no error handling.
tell application "Finder"
          set FileList to selection
          repeat with theFile in FileList
                    set fileName to name of theFile
                    set filePath to quoted form of (POSIX path of (theFile as alias))
                    set crYear to text 6 thru 9 of fileName
                    set crMonth to text 11 thru 12 of fileName
                    set crDay to text 14 thru 15 of fileName
                    set crHour to text 17 thru 18 of fileName
                    set crMins to text 20 thru 21 of fileName
                    set crDate to crYear & crMonth & crDay & crHour & crMins
                    set shellString to "touch -t " & crDate & " " & filePath
do shell script shellString with administrator privileges

How to use javascript to "save as" using form data in the file name

I want to be able to use a button to "save as" and have it automatically pick up and use certain data from the fields in the file name. without having to manually type in the file name.
Name: john doe
Date: 1-25-13
file name would be (john doe 1-25-13)

You will need two parts for this. A folder level script (which you place in a .js file under the JavaScripts folder of Acrobat), and a script embedded in the file itself (probably attached to a button).
The folder-level script will look like this:
var mySaveAs = app.trustedFunction( function(oDoc,cPath) {
    app.beginPriv();
    try {
        oDoc.saveAs(cPath);
    } catch(e){
        app.alert("Error During Save");
    app.endPriv();
The doc-level script can look something like this (of course, you might need to adjust the names of the fields used):
var filePath = this.path.replace(this.documentFileName, "");
var newFileName = this.getField("name").valueAsString + " " + this.getField("date").valueAsString + ".pdf";
mySaveAs(this, filePath+newFileName);
You should be aware that several characters are not allowed in the file name, including comma's, forward- and back-slashes, line-breaks and excalmation marks, so if you try to use them the script would fail. It is possible to create a more advanced version of this script that will automatically remove such characters from the file-name, or alert the user if they used them.

Date Repeats in file name coming back from plugins

My filename date repeats when I edit the photos in plugins (NIK plugins) from within lightroom. For example, if the file name is 20120402DescansoGardens and I edit in four different plugins, the file names comes back as 20120402-20120402-20120402-20120402-20120402DescansoGardens. Does this happen to anyone else?

Check your filename template in external editing prefs.
