Dynamic File Name with PayloadSwapBean

I’ve created an abap proxy with a small schema containing PO and PO_Line with an attachment that is a zipped PDF file (.zip).
I have configured a File adapter with the payloadswapbean to place the attached .zip file in an FTP folder. Now I need to dynamically name the .zip file using the proxy payload values.
<PONUM>_ <POLine>.zip
Variable Substitution takes place after the payload has been swapped so I am not able to use that. How can I take my proxy XML payload and dynamically create the file name? I have tried DynamicConfigurationBean but it seems to come back null when trying to read the XI FileName:
Write http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/XI FileName I have flagged the Adapter Specific Message Attributes for FileName.
What options do I have?

Hi George,
You can use Dynamic Configuration UDF code to set ASMA FileName parameter for FTP in message mapping program. Search SDN for UDF code
Use the below UDF between source proxy field having filename and target top most node
try{
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container.getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey KEY_FILENAME = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File","FileName");
conf.put(KEY_FILENAME, var1); //var1 from proxy payload field
catch(Exception e){//Do some action if required}
return "1";

IDOC to multiple file with dynamic file names with same content

Hi,
My scenario is from IDOC to file.
The number of files which i need to create is dynamic, which depends on the number of plants.
I have a Z-table where i will maintin list of all plants ( non SAP plant names).
I need to fetch the data from this z-table and depending on the nunber of plants i need to create the file for each plant and fiel name should contain plant name in it. EX: abc_<plant>_datatype.txt
I want to use only receiver one CC, and files should be created in the same directory.
Can we do this without BPM?

Hi,
You can use the Mapping lookup concept to fetch the plant names from Z-tables and then you can use the variable substitution technique to resolve your purpose.
Here you need to create multiple interfaces ie.e per plant to create multiple files. You can use common Communication channel for all.

How to handle Dynamic File Name

Hello All,
I have a requirement, I have to download a file from application server to my ABAP program which will be executed in the background. The problem is the file name is a dynamic file name with timestamp on it. So how do I read the file from the application server. I know there are certain function modules but I don't think so that they can work in background.
So If anyone has worked on it before your reply would be helpful.
Thanks and Regards,
Sushil

Hi,
Use this funcation module this will return you the list of files in a directory...
It will work even in back group processing also..
SUBST_GET_FILE_LIST
or if it is unix environ ment.
data: begin of t_tabl occurs 0,
line(132),
end of t_tabl,
data: lc_command(100) type c.
Get all the file name falling under specified directory...
lc_command(3) = 'ls '.
lc_command+3(45) = p_dir. " Directory of file path
call 'SYSTEM' id 'COMMAND' field lc_command
id 'TAB' field t_tabl-sys.
Check any files exits in the directory.......................
if t_tabl[] is initial.
message e006 with 'No files exist in the specified directory ' p_dir.
endif.
here you will have all the file names in t_tab1 you can sort by name and will get the latest file in order..
Thanks

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 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 - 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,

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,

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.
Regards,
Idi

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

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>

File name with Dateand time stamp.

Hi All,
I want to generate a file with a date and time stamp.
For that in File Receiver adaptor i am using option "Add Time Stamp" in File Construction mode. however it is generationg file name as: FileName_20082104_121211_645.txt . In this I don't know what these last three characters "_645" are? And In the File name i only want a file name with datetime stamp . I don't require underscore in between. for eg: FileName_20082104121211.txt (FileName_dateTime.txt)
Can anybody suggest me the way to achive this?
Thanks,
Atul

@FileName_20082104_121211_645
The date time stamp in XI's file adapter will be in that format. This is to avoid over writing of files created simultaneously at the same time. So the last 3 digits is a form of an unique id to distinguish between the same.
In case you want the format as FileName_20082104_121211, use the dynamic configuration and create the file name inside the mapping itself and pass it across.
To get an idea about the same, ref:
/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/11/10/xi-the-same-filename-from-a-sender-to-a-receiver-file-adapter--sp14 - an usage of the same.

Dynamic File Name on Receiver Side using XSLT mapping

Hi,
My scenario is a Proxy to File scenario.The File on the receiving side is a TEXT file generated due to XSLT mapping. The file name has to be dynamic like- TEST<DDMMYYHHMMSS>File.DAT.
If somebody knows how to do the same please help.
Regards
Ritu

Hi Ritu,
I agree to Krishna.With your XSLT mapping create a XML output which can be converted to a text file with content conversion.
And for the dynamic file name, i guess its the date that matters which needs to be in DDMMYYHHMMSS format. the same can be accomplished by a Java function and calling it in your XSLT .
Do refer this weblog it will help you accomplish the same.
