Dynamic file name - Components to be installed in patch required for SP12

Dear All ,
1)Plz let me know what is the prerequisites for installing SP12 Patch in XI i.e what all components do I need to install for this . Currently I am using SP 09 and I am facing problem related to Dynamic file in file adapter .
2) While installing the components for this patch , is it going to affect my pre-configured scenarios .
Thanks in advance
Prabhat

Hi Danny!
So you are saying that this is a valid path specification in Windows? I did not know this. And I do not remember to ever have seen this before with Java.
Is there a reason why this "abbreviated" form is used in Java?
Has this changed recently, or did I simply never found it before?
Can this be behavior be changed to the complete path form? I like to call 'get[Absolute]Path()' in log messages and test cases, but want to see the complete path in such a case. I would like to avoid getCanonicalPath() in such cases, because this method declares an exception.
Cheers,
Michael

Dynamic file name from input payload (RFC 2 flat file)

Hi,
I have an RFC to flat file scenario. The output flat file has not an XML structure, it's just a plain text file generated with abap mapping.
In my source interface (RFC), I have a field called <FILENAME>, I want to use the value of that field to create the target file using dynamic file name. But if in variable substitution I use payload:ZRFC_NAME,1,FILENAME,1 It doesn't work because the dynamic variable substitution try to access to output payload, not the source one...
What can I do?

Hi Marshal,
You can add a extra node to your target strucutre like
FileName- Node
--FileName - Element.
do the mapping from the field filename of RFC to FileName field in u r target strucure. And use this field path at Refrence in variable subtituion.
In the Content converison add the Name & Values as below
FileName.fileldNames -- FileName
FileName.fieldFixedLengths -- 0
FileName.fixedLengthTooShortHandling -- Cut
So the extra field in u r target structure would not populate in u r target text file.

Dynamic file name ?

Hi,
I am following this blog to name the target file/directory dynamically at the runtime :
/people/sameer.shadab/blog/2005/09/23/an-interesting-usage-of-variable-substitution-in-xi
But I am getting this error in the CC monitoring :
Could not process due to error: com.sap.aii.adapter.file.configuration.DynamicConfigurationException: Error during variable substitution: com.sap.aii.adapter.file.varsubst.VariableDataSourceException: Unknown message header category 'interface_name ' for variable 'var1'.

Hi,
Try following this weblog for dynamic file name.
/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/11/10/xi-the-same-filename-from-a-sender-to-a-receiver-file-adapter--sp14
Dynamic filename come under the Dynamic configuration in moni, for your messages.
This is the code used inside.
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container.getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File","FileName");
String ourSourceFileName = conf.get(key);
return ourSourceFileName;
That is why Dynamic configuration is coming in output.. It is a class to generate dynamic configuration file at runtime provided by SAP XI.
Hope this will help you.

Dynamic file name in case of .txt output files

Hi all,
I have a query related to dynamic file name scenario.
In case of IDOC-XI-FILE sceanrio,
Is it possible to generate .txt file name based on Plant number like
%<Plantname>%_%<BusinessDay>_filename.txt
Note:I have implemneted this for .xml output files but I am not able to implement it for .txt output files .
PLEASE HELP ME .
Regards
Prabhat

Hi Prabhat,
I think, the normal Dynamic File Name generation should work fine in your case also. Even if you perform Content Conversion, you can use Variable Name Substiution to create your Destination file name as, the name of the file is determined first and only then is the content converison perfromed.
for info on content conversion, I would suggest that you go through this thread and check my reply,

Dynamic File name in File Adapter

Hi,
I have a requirement to pass dynamic file name in File Adapter.
Is there any way to pass a variable for the file name attribut in file adapter.
I am looking for some options apart from %yyMMddHHmmss%,%SEQ%...etc
Please suggest if any of you have information on how to put values from a variable to file name attribute in file adapter
regards
Saiju

Hi Saiju,
Yes there is.
Assign your file name to a variable, let's say 'fileName'.
Now go to your invoke activity(for the specific fileadapter) -> Property tab-> find a property call jca.file.FileName -> in the value field assign 'fileName' variable.
That's it... (assuming you are using 11g)

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.

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 - UDF

Hi Master,
I written the UDF for Getting the Dynamic File name.
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container.getParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File","FileName");
// Retrieve the filename
String FileName = conf.get(key);
This is working ok - but I want to return these values so I can be used in mapping.
when I try to add the statement return FileName; , the compiler then complains with the following error:
cannot return a value from method whose result type is void return FileName;
Please help me,

Dynamic File Name depending on the Source File name

Hi Experts,
I have a problem like Dynamic File name depending on the Source File Name. I will explain with example as follwos
Source File name Targer Folder/Filename
NK01.VR59.L2007030 VR59/Rec.l200
NK01.VR71.L2017030 VR71/Rec.l201
NK01.VR77.L2027030 VR77/Rec.l202
See above the exaple, Depending on the Source file name, I am deciding where i need to place my file and what name i need to name it.
So please suggest me the solution and How can i do this with a single communication channel ? Do i need to create multiple CC for each folder??
Points will be rewarded for Valuable anwer.

Dynamic File Name and File size

Hi All
I need some help in calling Dynamic File Name and Dynamic File size of a file in my adapter Module.
Could you please provided some help on the same?
I have tried the same through UDF it is working. Could anyone provide me the steps for the same
Regards
Abhishek Mahajan

Hi,
You can use the already available adapter module "DynamicConfigurationBean". Have this adapter module at the top of the module list in CC.
Have the parameter value as insert http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File FileName and http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File SourceFileSize (corresponding to the key names)
For more info:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/45/da2239feb22e98e10000000a155369/frameset.htm

Xml file in dynamic file name in file receiver adapter

Hi,
I'm doing the dynamic file name in file receiver adapter. I have done as per instructed in /people/jayakrishnan.nair/blog/2005/06/20/dynamic-file-name-using-xi-30-sp12-part--i
All turned out okay. I have got the file name I require. Except that the file format is XML and I need to suppress the filename node occupied by the dynamic file name.
The content conversion mentioned in /people/sravya.talanki2/blog/2005/08/11/solution-to-the-problem-encountered-using-variable-substitution-with-xi-sp12, does not seem to solve my problem. As it is only for file format other than the XML one, because we only do the content conversion if we want to "convert" the format of the content from XML to the other format.
Does anybody have the solution to my problem? thanks in advance

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.

Dynamic file names in outbound file adapter

I have to configure a flow in XI system wich takes an input file from one machine and after mapping process leaves the output file in target machine with the same name of input file.
Name of input file won't be always the same (*.dat) so i cannot hardcode this name in outbound file adapter.
Does anyone know how to transfer input filename from inbound file adapter to XI message and then to outbound file adapter?
I know there is an option to create dynamic file names in file adapter but i think it isn't enought to solve my problem.

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

File Adapter: Dynamic file name

Hello,
I would like to use a filename like this:
Name.<DOCNUM>.Direction.<Timestamp>
For DOCNUM I use variable substitution. Works fine.
For <Timestamp> I need a different format as the timestamp function
in file adapter create. So I try to set up my timestamp in mapping like
dynamic file name:
DynamicConfigurationKey key1 = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File", "Timestamp");
conf.put(key1, a);
Input a is date function which creates my desired timestamp format. In file adapter I try this:
Name.%DOCNUM%.Direction.%Timestamp%
or
Name.%DOCNUM%.Direction.Timestamp
or
Timestamp
all doesn't work for Timestamp.
So is there a possibility to configure a dynamic filename like this???
Is there a possibility to access dynamic configuration variables in dynamic filename except
the known for filename and directory??
thanks
chris

your file name needs to be
Name.<DOCNUM>.Direction.<Timestamp>
dont use variable substitution. use only dynamic configuration and set the file name
introduce a logic that will create the string
Name.<DOCNUM>.Direction.<Timestamp>
eg. String filename = "Name" + var_docnum + "Direction" + var_timestamp;
then use the dynamic conf code to set the file name and use adapter specific properties in you adapter to retrieve it.
