Dynamic file name for report export to csv

If "Enable CSV output" = "YES" for a report region titled "Invoices", the default file name is "Invoices.csv". If I have a parameter, Pn_MONTH, for the month (e.g. Jan 2010, Feb 2010, etc.) and the report only shows data for that month, I would like to have the resulting file named "Invoices_Jan_2010.csv".
I've tried setting the Report Export Filename to "Invoices_&Pn_MONTH..csv" and setting the region title to be "Invoices_&Pn_MONTH." but the resulting file name is coming up as "Invoices_.csv"'. I even tried "Invoices_:Pn_MONTH.csv" just to be sure but that makes it "Invoices_:Pn_MONTH.csv"'.
How can I get this to work?

This same method works for generating dynamic column headings from other page items, but I've never tried it for the download file name.That's the problem. The parameter P_MONTH is itself a page item and this is not consistent with other dynamic substitution. Looking at the page source, the export link is
f?p=102:9:8985946323211742:FLOW_EXCEL_OUTPUT_R2805111921107129_en-uswhere presumably "FLOW_EXCEL_OUTPUT_R2805111921107129_en-us" is an application process and "2805111921107129" is the internal id of the region. The filename is not part of the link.

File name field not generating dynamic file name for report printing

Hello Folks,
I have a report region on a page and have enabled report printing. I would like to have the file name generated dynamically. So, I add the substitution string, say "&P1_CUSTOMER_NAME." (no quotes). The output file I get is literally named "&P1_CUSTOMER_NAME..pdf" (no quotes).
I have seen several posts suggesting the file name field should accept this syntax but, I cannot get it to work.
We are running Application Express 3.2.0.00.27 and BI Publisher.
Any suggestions?
Thanks for your help.

I was finally able to make it work using a page process and the APEX_UTIL.DOWNLOAD_PRINT_DOCUMENT with a submit button.

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

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,

Dynamic File name for File receiver adapter

Hello,
I am doing Proxy sender to File receiver scenario.
Filename is generated in SAP R/3 program and I want to create the file with this same name
on target location.
please suggest me how to use this file name in Receiver file adapter?.
Thanks & Regards
Jagesh

Hi,
you have to enable the adapter specific parameter --> file name in both the sender and the receiver CC to get the input file name as output file name.
Refer this blog:
/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/11/10/xi-the-same-filename-from-a-sender-to-a-receiver-file-adapter--sp14
Also you need to use this udf
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;

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

Note:I have implemneted this for .xml output files but I am not able to implement it for .txt output files .
PLEASE HELP ME .

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,

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 within 1:n mapping

Dear all,
I have a 1:n mapping and would like to use dynamic file names.
I searched the forum but found just some few anserws.
As far as I can determine, it is not possible to use dynamic file names for multiple target messages, right?
We are using a 3rd party adapter (SFTP) that doesn't support variable substitution.
Is there another way?
Thanks
Chris

>>As far as I can determine, it is not possible to use dynamic file names for multiple target messages, right?
I am afraid you are correct.
>>Is there another way?
One option I could think is have an adpter module and adding the dynamic configuration there.
I personally have not tried this option. But I dont see any reason, why this approach would fail.
If I am correct, the message is passed to the module chain after the split. So the above logic should work.
I will be glad if you can try and let me know the results
Regards
Jai
P.S: Let me know if you need any help creating the module. The coding should be so simple and not more than 10 lines

Reports region csv file download: can a dynamic file name be used?

Application Express 3.1.1.00.09
Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.4.0 - 64bit
Firefox 3.0.10
Hi All,
In Application Builder -> Report Attributes -> Report Export -> Enable CSV output = 'Yes'
I want to assign the filename dynamically, based on a variable within the application.
The text in this box always seems to be used as a literal value.
Is what I want to do possible?
Kind Regards,
Bob.

Yes, In the report name field you can use a page or application item as as the filename.. This is the syntax: &my_item. where my item is a page or application item..
Thank you,

Dynamic file name in Export: XML

I am generating a SQL report on a page that can be exported as XML File and It seems to me the file name come from the name of the report region by default and I 'd like use a value of an item as the XML file name.
I tried to put &P15_ITEM. as name of report region, then the XML file name I got is: p15_item[1]..xml. But if I change the Report Template back to Standard Template, the region name displays the value of P15_ITEM.
So, my question is, Is ther anyway we could reset the file name of the XML file, such as the value of an item, In Version 1.6.?
Million Thanks,
Ran

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.

Idi

Export with dynamic file name

Hi everyone.
I want to know how export oracle tables with dynamic file name on windows XP platform.
bye.

You'd have to generate the export command-line or par file using a script -- Windows or SQL !
It would be easy to use SQL to generate the script.
So you could have a BATch file that
a. Calls the SQL to generate the export command-line or parfile
b. Executes the export
even possibly run in a loop.

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.
