Dynamic File name in SAP WEBi

Hi Experts,
We have scheduled one report in SAP Webi. But we want the filename of the webi reports to be dynamic.
Example - if i run the file on 25/07/2014 then the file name would be - 100101 _ R0112_20140725.
100101 - Vendor code
R0112- Report no.
20140725 - run date.
How can we achieve this in WEBi.
Thanks,
Abhi.

Hi,
I don't think so custom Date format is possible with Java SDK.
Check attached link to get the custom Date format.
Placeholder parameters--%SI_STARTTIME%--can I reformat?
Standard Date format of webi scheduling you will get like YYYY-MM-DD-HH-SS.
If you put the below values in the custom name under the destination you will get the results like:
100101 _ R0112_%ST_STARTTIME%
Output will be with Name 100101_R0112_2014-07-29-15-05-39

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.

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 - 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,
Thanks,
Anu

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.
Thanks in Advance,

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.

Idi

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.

return fileName;
Now the questions is as per my requirement, I need to generate multiple file names. Can some one help me how can change the above code for catering multiple returns
Thanks

Hello,
Now the questions is as per my requirement, I need to generate multiple file names. Can some one help me how can change the above code for catering multiple returns
If you are using multi-mapping (0..n), only one will be accessed. See link below from SAP Help
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/43/09b16006526e72e10000000a422035/frameset.htm
Or you can use variable substitution for filename generation (search in SDN).
Hope this helps,

Dynamic file name in communication channel

hello
is it possible to give in the communication channel, under the 'File Access Parameters', a dynamic file name?
to get it out of a table or something?
Thanks
Kfir

Hi,
Yes its bit possible to use the dynamic file name at File access paramters
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 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>
Thanks

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.
Cheers
Veera

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,
