Dynamic file name in receive FTP file adapter

Hi, All,
I have a ABAP proxy -> FTP scenorio. The sender side MT is like this:
<Sender_MT>
<FileName>abc.txt</FileName>
<Record>
      <TEXT>.......</TEXT>
      <TEXT>.......</TEXT>
     <TEXT> ......</TEXT>
</Record>
</Sender_MT>
I would like to output the data which are the values of the tags <TEXT> to a flat file with the file name of the value of <FileName>
I tried to use Variable Substitution in FTP CC. I set a val1 = payload:Sender_MT:1,FileName,1 . But I got an error says "Unknown structure 'ns0:Sender_MT' found in document'. I looked at the message monitoring. It shows payload <n0:Sender_MT>. not <ns0:Sender_MT>. I think that is why I got the error. Then I tried to use XSLT mapping. I set
<Receiver_MT>
<Record>
     <xsl:value-of select="ns0:Sender_MT/Record"/>
</Record>
</Receiver_MT>
But I get an error says "XMLParser: No data allowed here: (hex) 32, 64, 66(:main:, row:1, col:3): ".
Could anybody help me out? Thanks!

Dude this looks purely like a variable reference error. Have you mapped the the Filename field in the target too? UR XSLT mapping dosent seem to indicate that... run ur mapping test to check that..
Second ... if ur source structure is hierarchcially similar then var 1 should be -
payload:Receiver_MT:1,FileName,1

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.

How to find the File name using the FTP Adapter

hi all,
how to find the File name using the FTP Adapter with BPEL.
Regards

Found the solution for this.
First In the mediator's routing rule use assign property $in.property.jca.file.FileName to $out.property.jca.file.FileName
In the BPEL's receive activity go to the properties tab and get the property to a BPEL variable. That should do it.
Thanks for the posts

Dynamic file name in receiver channal

Hi, All,
I would like to set dynamic file name in receiver channal. My xml payload will be like this:
<file_name>file1.txt</file_name>
<text_content>balabala......</text_content>
I would like to output an text file which text content will be the value of <text_content>, file name will be the value of <file_name> in the xml payload.
Is there anyone could help me?
Helpful answer will be surely awarded. Thanks
Yang

Please look at the below description from help.sap.com. You can use the below steps to name the file from a value in the payload. You would have to use File Content Conversion to insert the value of the <text_content> in the file.
Variable Substitution (Target Directory/File Name Scheme)
If you set the Enable indicator, you can enter variables for the Target Directory and File Name Scheme. Enter the names of the variables and references in the table.
●      Enter each variable that you reference in the Target Directory and File Name Scheme fields without the surrounding percentage sign under Name of Variables in the table.
The variables can refer to attributes of the message header or elements of the message payload.
○       If the variables are to refer to an attribute of the message header, add the prefix message: to the name of the variable under Reference. You can specify the following attributes of the message header:
sender_party, sender_service, receiver_party, receiver_service, interface_name, interface_namespace,
message_id (message ID with hyphens, for example 9fbe1ff1-9a0d-11d9-8665-cbf10a126331)
message_id_hex (message ID in hexadecimal format, for example 9fbe1ff19a0d11d98665cbf10a126331)
For example, if you want to specify the interface name from the message header in the target directory or in the file name scheme, enter message:interface_name as the reference.
If one of the message attributes contains characters that are not permitted in a file name, for example \, /, :, *, ?, ", <, >, |, then these characters are replaced by an underscore ("_").
○       If the variable refers to an element in XML schema, add the prefix payload: to the information under Reference. The reference then comprises a pseudo path description in the form of a comma-separated list with the schema namea,na,nameb,nb,....
namea,nameb,...corresponds to the element name and na,nb,... corresponds to the occurrence of the element name at the respective level in the document.
The description begins at the root of the document and ends at the respective element.
To reference the element that is in bold in the example, the following expression is used: payload:root,1,e1,1,e2,2
The parser searches for the first occurrence of the root element at the first level. It then searches for the first occurrence of e1 at the second level and for the second occurrence of e2 at the third level. The content of the last element (u201CExample Valueu201D) is set as the value for a specified variable.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<root>
<dummy>
     <e1>
        <e2>Data_1</e2>
        <f/>
        <g attr="abc">text</g>
        <e2>Data_2</e2>
     </e1>
</dummy>
<e1>
     <e2>illegal/value</e2>
     <f/>
     <g attr="abc">text</g>
     <e2 attr="fghij">Example Value</e2>
</e1>
</root>

EOIO service on Receiver FTP/File Adapter

Hi,
I have a scenario where I would like the sender adapter to be quality of service, EO (Exactly Once), and the receiver ftp/file adapter to be of quality of service, EOIO (Exactly Once in Order). Is there a way to change the quality of service on the receiver adapter only so that it differs from the sender adapter?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Unfortunately changing the QoS in the adapter module does not solve the issue. The message appears to be put into the queue prior to the module being called. Below is the audit log.
2007-10-26 09:58:30 Success Using connection AFW. Trying to put the message into the receive queue.
2007-10-26 09:58:30 Success Message successfully put into the queue.
2007-10-26 09:58:30 Success The message was successfully retrieved from the receive queue.
2007-10-26 09:58:30 Success The message status set to DLNG.
2007-10-26 09:58:30 Success Delivering to channel: XXXXXXX
2007-10-26 09:58:30 Success ChangeQoS: Module called
2007-10-26 09:58:30 Success File adapter receiver: processing started; QoS required: ExactlyOnceInOrder
As you can see the QoS has been changed to EOIO from the adapter module, but the message is still in Qos EO.
Am I missing something or is there another way this can be achieved? Can we do this in the mapping somehow before it ever gets to the AFW?
Thanks in advance.

When someone other than myself downloads an image from my web album, a dynamically generated file name replaces the original file name. How I can prevent the original file name being replaced during the downloading process?

When someone other than myself downloads an image from my web album, a dynamically generated file name replaces the original file name. How I can prevent the file name being changed during this downloading process?

Hi Glenyse,
Here are my steps.
1. I upload multiple image (jpg) files onto my photo album.
2. I select the "sharing" by email option for this album.
3. I enter the recipient's email address.
4. The recipient receives my message and clicks on the link.
5. The recipient accesses my photo album and clicks on one of the images.
6. The image opens up to its own screen.
7. The recipient selects the "download" and then save file option.
Here is the part I do not understand. For some reason, during this "download" process, the original name which I have given to the file is replaced by different name. So I was hoping that someone knows how to prevent the file name from being changed during the "download and save" process.
Much appreciated if you can help me find a solution to this problem.

Question about pass file name and path to file write adapter

I need to pass file name and path to file adapter for write. I got partial answers from thread Re: Get File name using File Adapter , but seems InboundHeader_msg or outboundHeader_msg only takes file name, how do I pass file directory?
since I still have to specify file format (like xxx_%xx%.txt) in the file adapter wizard. Will this name conflict with what the name defined in InboundHeader_msg ?
Similarly, how can I pass a file name and path to a file synchread adapter?
Thanks,

Send port with same file name as receive

I have a filename "abc.docx". I need to create a send port where I should set the file name in a such a way that I should have the same file name as received.
I have set the filename in the send port as "%SourceFileName%" but it does not seem to be working.
How to set the send port to have the same file name as received by the receive port? Send location should hold the same file name

could you please also mention what is happening when you set
%SourceFileName% . what kind of output filename are you getting then when used %SourceFileName%
? incase if you are not getting any file at all in the output, then its not the issue with %SourceFileName%
macro.

Log4j - issue in configuring the file name for daily rolling file adapter

We have configured the log4j properties. We want to create back-up of log file each hour. The file name of the log file is MyApp.log and as per the below configuration after each hour backup file is created as
MyApp.log<<time>>
but we want that file should be created in follogin format
MyApp<<time>>.log
Below are the log4j properties configured, please let us know, what should be the correct option to create the filename in desired format.

yes you can use /SAPDMC/SAP_LSMW_IMPORT_TEXTS via LSMW
In the SAP system, there is no uniform rule for the structure of the actual text key Textname. However, in order to be able to maintain the structures and fields, you have to know what the structure of text name as well as the values for text object and text ID are.
Procedure
       1.      Display a text of the required text type.
       2.      Branch to the editor.
       3.      Choose Goto > Header.
The Text header dialog box appears.
Result
In the Text header dialog box, you gather the required information.

How write the Outbound file name in the Inbound file

Friends,
I have a scenario like this.
Outbout filename - sample.txt
In sample.txt, i have having data like 20
Inbound filename - vivek.txt
i need data the like sample, 20
(NOTE: sample is the outbound file)
How to get this scenario.
Thanks in advance.
regards,
Vivek.

Hi Vivek,
If your PI is of SP14 and more you have an option called Adapter Specific Message Attributes.(ASMA) in communicatoin channel configurtaion, Which will help you in capturing the Sender file name during runtime.
So you will have to enable that option (ASMA) in Commchannel and capture file name in UDF using Java Code with the help of sap related API and map it to the target field which u would like to get populated.
follow the thread it has the discussion about acessing the Source file name.

Different log file name in the Control file of SQL Loader

Dear all,
I get every day 3 log files with ftp from a Solaris Server to a Windows 2000 Server machine. In this Windows machine, we have an Oracle Database 9.2. These log files are in the following format: in<date>.log i.e. in20070429.log.
I would like to load this log file's data to an Oracle table every day and I would like to use SQL Loader for this job.
The problem is that the log file name is different every day.
How can I give this variable log file name in the Control file, which is used for the SQL Loader?
file.ctl
LOAD DATA
INFILE 'D:\gbal\in<date>.log'
APPEND INTO TABLE CHAT_SL
FIELDS TERMINATED BY WHITESPACE
TRAILING NULLCOLS
(SL1 DATE "Mon DD, YYYY HH:MI:SS FF3AM",
SL2 char,
SL3 DATE "Mon DD, YYYY HH:MI:SS FF3AM",
SL4 char,
SL5 char,
SL6 char,
SL7 char,
SL8 char,
SL9 char,
SL10 char,
SL11 char,
SL12 char,
SL13 char,
SL14 char,
SL15 char)
Do you have any better idea about this issue?
I thought of renaming the log file to an instant name, such as in.log, but how can I distinguish the desired log file, from the other two?
Thank you very much in advance.
Giorgos Baliotis

I don't have a direct solution for your problem.
However if you invoke the SQL loader from an Oracle stored procedure, it is possible to dynamically set control\log file.

Get File name of the inbound file during mapping

Scenario: to read the file name of the inbound file (which has date required for the mapping) during runtime.
The requirement is to read the date of the inbound file (passed to the XI pipline by the file adapter) and populate the same in the outbound mapping structure.
Any idea about how to do this?
(I went through few options of using java.util.map. not successful yet)

Hi Anand,
I posted the same question a time ago, without any help....
Can I find out the full filename of input file in message mapping?
Posted: Nov 23, 2004 1:00 PM
I have in XI 2.0 the following scenario :
In the inbound fileadapter I read my input file. The filename of the input file is part fixed, part variable (Like INDATA01.txt, INDATA03.txt, etc).
So in my Adapterconfiguration, I specify the filename with a wildcard (INDATA*.txt).
What I now want to do, is in my Message Mapping use the full filename , so I can do something different for every filenumber. Is there a way where I can get the full filename available in my message mapping (I did not find the filename in the XML in the message trace).

Assign Logical file name for the physical file path through Program

Hi all,
I am having a physical file which is getting generated dynamically. It is having the date and time stamp in its name which is added at runtime.
Now I need to assign a logical file name for the physical file path through the program.
Is there any FM or any other method to assign the same.
Gaurav

I think it is not possible. becuase the date & time added at runtime. so if you check the table PATH you can find filename and their definitions

Error Occurred While Converting the file"name of song" The file name.......

I get this message when I try to import some CD's to my library.
A window pops up and says
Error occurred while converting the file "name of song"
The file name was invalid or to long.
Anyone else ever get this message, and how can you import CD's???????

I have had this exact same problem. I'm not sure how to fix it...

Flat file connection: The file name "\server\share\path\file.txt" specified in the connection was not valid

I'm trying to execute a SSIS package via SQL agent with a flat file source - however it fails with Code: 0xC001401E The file name "\server\share\path\file.txt" specified in the connection was not valid.
It appears that the problem is with the rights of the user that's running the package (it's a proxy account). If I use a higher-privelege account (domain admin) to run the package it completes successfully. But this is not a long-term solution, and I can't
see a reason why the user doesn't have rights to the file. The effective permissions of the file and parent folder both give the user full control. The user has full control over the share as well. The user can access the file (copy, etc) outside the SSIS
package.
Running the package manually via DTExec gives me the same error - I've tried 32 and 64bit versions with the same result. But running as a domain admin works correctly every time.
I feel like I've been beating my head against a brick wall on this one... Is there some sort of magic permissions, file or otherwise, that are required to use a flat file target in an SSIS package?

Hi Rossco150,
I have tried to reproduce the issue in my test environment (Windows Server 2012 R2 + SQL Server 2008 R2), however, everything goes well with the permission settings as you mentioned. In my test, the permissions of the folders are set as follows:
\\ServerName\Temp --- Read
\\ServerName\Temp\Source --- No access
\\ServerName\Temp\Source\Flat Files --- Full control
I suspect that your permission settings on the folders are not absolutely as you said above. Could you double check the permission settings on each level of the folder hierarchy? In addition, check the “Execute as user” information from job history to make
sure the job was running in the proxy security context indeed. Which version of SSIS are you using? If possible, I suggest that you install the latest Service Pack for you SQL Server or even install the latest CU patch.
