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.

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 apply input file name to output file in file adapter

Hi Friends
In my file to file scenario,i want to use input file name to output file by using adapter specific attributes,for this i have java code.Please suggest me how can i use this java code in mesg mapping and to which field i need to mapping this.
Thanks
pullarao

Hi Pullarao,
I have two questions ...
1. Are u want the static file name in the target file?
if yes...then follow the Bhavesh instruction.
2.If u want a dynamic file name in the target file using UDF....then your UDF should mapped to the <b>root element</b> of target structure.
/**********UDF********/
Imports: com.sap.aii.mapping.api.*;
Parameter: String filename
String filename;
filename = fileName + ".DAT";
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container
.getTransformationParameters()
.get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create( "http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File", "FileName");
conf.put(key, filename);
return filename;
/*******END UDF*******/

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

How can transfer the read file name via own developed adapter module

Hello experts,
I want to know how I can handle the following issue:
I developed a J2EE adapter module for the file adapter "sender" with the aim to read the file name of incoming files. Thereto I implement the following code like this:
public ModuleData process(ModuleContext mc, ModuleData md) throws
ModuleException
Hashtable mp = (Hashtable)
md.getSupplementalData("module.parameters");
String fileName = null;
if (mp != null)
fileName = (String) mp.get("FileName");
Now I get the filename which includes a order nr. I need this order number to call a RFC Adapter via mapping. So my question is how can transfer this order nr to the RFC adapter?
Kind regards,
Fatih

Hi,
>> to read the file name of incoming files
Use file adapter with Adapter specific identifiers selected.
>>Thereto I implement the following code like this:
use udf in message mapping and avoid module
>>Now I get the filename which includes a order nr. I need this order number to call a RFC Adapter via mapping. So my question is how can transfer this order nr to the RFC adapter?
use RFC Look up function in message mapping...
Is module so necessary in this case???

To retain the same file name in target(File) that coming from source system(AS2).

Hi All,
I have a requirement to send the two file from the third party system(GXS) to SAP ECC via SAP PI(version - 7.4). We are using AS2 adapter at the sender side to pick the file and using File Adapter to place the file in ECC.
Its a pass through scenarion(No ESR part is used).
Requirement:
We are going to get 2 files ->Example: one from Axis and another one from ICICI -> each bank file will have a file name ->
We have to post the file at the target system with the same name as source file name, the source file name could come dynamically(with diff time stamp).
Please let me know, Is it possible to achieve the above requirement(we have to retain the file name in target that coming from source system) with Sender AS2 adapter, If yes then please suggest the best approach.
Regards,
Pradeep Bawlia

Hi Guys,
The above requirement is solved now.
Solution - I used java mapping for extracting the same source file name and assignning the same to the target system.
Code:
public class ExtractFileName_ASMA extends AbstractTransformation{
public void transform(TransformationInput in, TransformationOutput out) throws StreamTransformationException
DynamicConfiguration conf=in.getDynamicConfiguration();
DynamicConfigurationKey key_AS2FileNmae = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/AS2/AS2", "AS2Filename");
DynamicConfigurationKey key_FileNmae = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http:/"+"/sap.com/xi/XI/System/File", "FileName");
String As2FileName=conf.get(key_AS2FileNmae);
conf.put(key_FileNmae, As2FileName);
try{
byte b[]=new byte[in.getInputPayload().getInputStream().available()];
in.getInputPayload().getInputStream().read(b);
out.getOutputPayload().getOutputStream().write(b);
catch(Exception e)
2. Another solution we can use the graphical mapping and need to use the dynamic config UDF at mapping level to acheive this requirement but here is one drawback - we need to do content conversion is this case.
In case of Java mapping, no need to play with source file.
WITHOUT USING ESR, WE CAN NOT ACHEIVE THIS REQUIREMENT.

Pradeep Bawlia

Configure receiver file name as Sender file name

Hi All,
In PI7.1. We have scenario(file to file). Here the sender system send multiple files and In the receiver system we need to populate the same filenames as Sender file Names.
Could you please let me know is there a configuration to have Receiver file schem name As like sender file names.
Thanks in Advance,
Naga.

Hi Naga,
This can be achieved using either variable substitution or Dynamic Configuration by enabling Adapter Specific Message Attributes in sender and receiver file channels.
If the sender file name and receiver file name needs to be exactly same then just check Adapter Specific Message Attributes in advanced tab of both sender and receiver channels. Check on File Name under that.
Lot of help over this is already available in sdn, kindly serach and you will get lot of helpful blogs and wikis

I can not transfer date from one hard drive to another, I keep getting an error because I have two of the same file names and one file name is in caps and I cant change the file name

can not transfer date from one hard drive to another, I keep getting an error because I have two of the same file names and one file name is in caps and I cant change the file name. My original external has an error and needs to be reformatted but I dont want to lose this informations its my entire Itunes library.

Sounds like the source drive is formatted as case sensitive and the destination drive is not. The preferred format for OS X is case insensitive unless there is a compelling reason to go case sensitive.
Why can't you change the filename? Is it because the source drive is having problems? If so is this happening with only one or two or a few files? If so the best thing would be to copy those over individually and then rename them on the destination drive.
If it is more then you can do manually and you can't change the name on the source you will have to reformat the destination as case sensitive.
Btw this group is for discussion of the Support Communities itself, you;d do better posting to Lion group. I'll see if a host will move it.

Hi
Just for completeness, what version of VB.NET are you using?
Here is a complete project to copy all the files with the added "ABL," at the start of each line. You need to start a new Project with a BLANK default Form1, and replace all of Form1 code with the code below. When you run this project, you
need to use the 2 buttons to set up the ORIGINAL file folder and a folder to place the copies. You need to check if the file EXTENSION is correct (I assumed txt), and check the text to add to each line is correct. Once all is set up you should have a
big red button to start the operation.
NOTE: it is important that you try this out on a copy of some of the files to verify accuracy BEFORE trying on original files. Make sure you have a good back up of the original files before doing anything else.

Need help adding a default file name in a file chooser of save dialog type

I need to create a file chooser with save dialog type, how can I add a highlighted default file name into the File Name textfield? As in Microsoft Word, when you want to save a document, a default file name Doc1.doc will appear in the File name text field of the file chooser even when you change to other directories.

For JRE 1.4.0 you can use this fix:
public class FileChooserFix implements PropertyChangeListener {
private String fileName;
   * @see PropertyChangeListener
public void propertyChange(PropertyChangeEvent ev) {
    JFileChooser chooser = (JFileChooser)ev.getSource();
    if (JFileChooser.FILES_ONLY == chooser.getFileSelectionMode()) {
      if (JFileChooser.SELECTED_FILE_CHANGED_PROPERTY.equals(ev.getPropertyName())) {
        File selectedFile = (File)ev.getNewValue();
        if (selectedFile != null) {
          // remember fileName of selected file
          fileName = selectedFile.getName();
      if (fileName != null &&
          JFileChooser.DIRECTORY_CHANGED_PROPERTY.equals(ev.getPropertyName())) {
        // reset selected file
        File directory = (File)ev.getNewValue();
        chooser.setSelectedFile(new File(directory, fileName));
   * Convenience method to create a fixed file chooser.
   * @return      fixed file chooser
public static JFileChooser create() {
    JFileChooser chooser = new JFileChooser();
    chooser.addPropertyChangeListener(new FileChooserFix());
    return chooser;

Logical File name of Transaction File

Hi All,
I am using FILE_NAME_GET function module to get the Physical file name based on logical file name.
But here i am not getting total file name, i maintained Physical File name as ZDM\INTB18\<PARAM_1>.
Transaction File is stored in application server and it's name is ZDM\INTB18\RMCB18_DATETIME.
Could you please anybody suggest how to get total file name.
Thanks,
Rami Reddy.

Hi Rami,
Have you utilised the Parameter WITH_FILE_EXTENSION in the function ... e.g.
Example
logical file name: MONTHLY_SALES_FILE
physical file name: VALUES<PARAM_1>
logical path: SALES_DATA_PATH
physical path (Windows): C:\SALES\<FILENAME>
Get file name for WINDOWS platform, with file name extension
CALL                                                                                FUNCTION                                                                                'FILE_GET_NAME'
   EXPORTING
      LOGICAL_FILENAME = 'MONTHLY_SALES_FILE'
      WITH_FILE_EXTENSION = 'X'
   IMPORTING
      FILE_NAME = FILE
      FILE_FORMAT = FORMAT.
Result:
FILE = C:\SALES\VALUES.WK1
FORMAT = WK1

Could not save as (file name) because the file could not be found

When i try saving sothing it comes up with could not save as (file name) because the file could not be found and need to save this file. i could save stuff before but not anymore if anyone could help i would be grateful
im using photoshop cs5.1
Thanks keiron

We cannot know. These kinds of things are operating system errors with stuff getting blocked due to insufficient permissions, security tools interfering, network errors or whatever. Since you mentioned none of that, it's an "Ask your mom..." thing at this point, but if you provide more details, someone might be able to figure it out.
