Dynamic File naming

Good day,
I have an SSIS package that uses .csv as a destination. The package is scheduled to run automatically. I would like to dynamically name the files by appending a date stamp. eg.
fileX_20140903_001
fileX_20140903_002
fileX_20140903_003
etc.
I have managed to add a date stamp. I have problems appending the values incrementally as the package runs. For example, for the first run of the day, append 001, for the second run of the same day, append 002, for the third run of the same day, append
003 and so on.
Please kindly assist

Hi,
Assuming you are setting DateTime stamp from Expression something like
"C:\\FolderName\\FileName" + (DT_STR,4,1252) DatePart("yyyy",getdate()) +
Right("0" + (DT_STR,4,1252) DatePart("m",getdate()),2) +
Right("0" + (DT_STR,4,1252) DatePart("d",getdate()),2)
Try using variable which will take care of file count.
In Expression Builder increment variable value by 1
@[User::FileCounter] = @[User::FileCounter]+1
and append it to your existing Expression like as below
"C:\\FolderName\\FileName" + (DT_STR,4,1252) DatePart("yyyy",getdate()) +
Right("0" + (DT_STR,4,1252) DatePart("m",getdate()),2) +
Right("0" + (DT_STR,4,1252) DatePart("d",getdate()),2) + "_"+ @[User::FileCounter]

Dynamic file naming with File/FTP adapter

Hi all,
I have a requirement for writing files with names of the files based on a customer ID.... a dynamic name based on a value retrieved from the customer DB.
I have already tried using the dynamic file naming suggestion in the bpel dev guide, it does not work. I followed the instructions, the process fails to compile and throws "part" and "undefined variables" errors etc.
Has anyone succesfully used file/ftp adapter to write files with dynamic file names (using a varibale), not %SEQ% or %datetime% formats?
Thanks,
Hasan

You can create a header variable that will allow you to set the outbound file name inside the process. This variable is a message type. From the type chooser select:
Message Types
Partner Links
Outbound Partner Link
Outbound wsdl
Message Types
Imported WSDL
fileAdapterOutboundHeader.wsdl
OutboundHeader_msg
This variable will have a part filename.
Set this part to whatever you wish your file to be named.
Select the invoke to your outbound file/ftp partnerlink. Move to the adapters tab and select the header variable you created as the Input Header Variable.

Dynamic file naming at Receiver

Hello Friends,
How to handle the dynamic file naming in XI at receiver side as file naming convention sequence to be incremented for every 1 hour...
my Client expecting to handle at mapping...How to do this...
Could any one give me the program if we need to do it in java...
and pls also give another approach if any
Setup dynamically ,

>>naming convention sequence to be incremented for every 1 hour
You can set the file construction mode as "Add counter" in the receiver file adapter
Thanx

Problem: using Dynamic file naming in adapter

Hi
Wat i m doing is using dynamic file configuration as given in this link
/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/11/10/xi-the-same-filename-from-a-sender-to-a-receiver-file-adapter--sp14 and trying to get file name and content of the file.
I m getting file name in dynamic configuration in SXMB_MONI but payload is empty.Actually i have to pass this payload to BPM.

Subodh,
I understand that using the filename you would like to do the validations, but, am not able to get the entire flow, inclduing your BPM flow.
If you give us the entire interface flow, it would be helpful to understand the problem better.
Just a quick note : Try to do the mapping that gets the filename outside the BPM if you do not get this inside the BPM.
Have not tried this, but I have seen a few posts which found that the dynamic parametrs were not accesible inside the BPM.

Error in User defined function for dynamic file naming

Hi,
While creating User Defined function with this following code for dynamic fieldname
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;
which options should i select for cache Value, Context, Queue
for Augument , what name shd i mention.
Regards,
Varun

Hi Varun,
I guess I have answered a similar question just a few minutes before on very similar post from you. Just pasting the same here .................
Are you trying to access the ASMA values from the SOAP header of the XI message for the source file name?
First of all you need to Set the Sender File Adapter for Set ASMA and then file name. So it will work fine when you actually run the scenario end to end.
But in the mapping tool when you test the mapping - there is not message header updated with the actual source filename - and whenever you try to read the FileName attribute in the message header from the UDF - it cannot find the object and returns a NullPointerException.
I would suuggest for your mapping tool testing to be successful, have a check in the java code for null values,
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);
If (ourSourceFileName != null)
Return ourSourceFileName;
Return "NoFileName.txt";
Let us know if this works.

Dynamic file naming when downlaoding the file to target directory

Dear friend,
My requirement is in the Adapter type File, File Name has to be dynamically generated. (i.e., each time the file name will be different according to the input name from the IDoc field). Can someone help me in this regard ???
Thanks in advance,
Jose Augastine

Hi,
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 naming in Mail attachment

Hi experts,
I am doing a Mail to File scenario, in which at the sender side I have a mail with File attachments.We are using IMAP protocol and picking up from a URL.At the receiver end we have to provide a file which is the attachment from the incoming mail.
With the help of the module I have separated the body and the attachment and the file is created with the static name I provided in the File adapter
My requirement is to dynamically name the file based on the customer name.I am not configured the design part, as no mapping of the interfaces are required.
For some reason,I am not able to open the mail bodyin sxmb_moni,but can see the attached file.
Thanks,
Tushar

there is no standard way.
you will have to write a module to get this in place.
other ways are;

Issue with Dynamic file Naming

Hello Experts,
I am doing a scenario where in for one incoming field we are using dynamic configuratiion UDF for getting the filename.Now I am able to get the filename correctly.Now the issue is for the result output file I do not need this field . For Ex : The incoming field has some value say ABC_XYZ which I use and then concatenate it with time and date stamp in the UDF and then send it to the output.
Now at the result I dont need this field ABC_XYZ. The aim was to use it to generate only the file name with ABC_XYZ_date_time.
Please guide on the same as to how this field can be eliminated.Is it possible to do so in content conversion in file adapter using some Ignore thing. Please guide. Hope I have cleared my doubt.

Hi Amit,
You can create another segment with in the target message type and remove that in content conversion. You can use this blog as reference:
/people/sravya.talanki2/blog/2005/08/11/solution-to-the-problem-encountered-using-variable-substitution-with-xi-sp12
Else you can use shabarish weblog and can come up with the filename in your mapping and store it in FileName and then put in your receiver comm. channel as FileName which should take care of your issue.

Lookout Reports Dynamic File Naming - Date/time format

Looking for any ideas to format the file name of Lookout reports to yyyy-mm-dd-hh-mm-ss
I can get the decimal equivalent of date using a system function such as now(hourly_timer), but can't figure out how to set the display format for such an object into the file name output field of the report object.
Thanks,
Ed

Hi Ed,
Do these have to be PDF files? Can they be HTML files? If HTML (or even BMP) is fine, here's one option:
1. Use the Report Object
2. Note that the generated file's name can be dynamic -- tie in the datetime expression here, for instance.
3. Make the following connection:
Report1.Display1 = Panel1.graphic
Where Panel1 is the panel you want to capture.
4. Use the Generate logical datamember of the Report Object to generate the HTML file. It will copy and paste (will link to, actually) the panel nicely into the HTML file. The actual panel screenshot is saved as graphic1.bmp in the same folder -- which by itself should suffice as a record. But then you would have to make the folder structure based on datetime, etc., to be able to distinguish the screenshots.
By the way, I fail to see why the Panel's title -- which is what gets sent as filename to the printer -- has to be static. It's not the Object name. There's no reason for it to be static.. unless I am missing something. See, we could easily change this if.....
Anyways, hope this gives you some options.

Dynamic File naming in reciever File Adapter

Hi all,
I am using a reciever File adapter and my requirement is to generate 3 different file names based on the value of an element from the Payload.For example..
Say in Payload for the first Occurence of the Data segment which contains Field-1 and Field-1 Contains value X then filename should be X.CSV,
same as
For the next occurence of the Data Segment if the Value of Field-1 is Y then File name should be Y.CSV.
Similarly For Z as well.
This is something like this...
SOurce Structure
================
IDOC
DATA SEGMENT-1
Field-1---> X
Field-2
Field 10
DATA SEGMENT-2
Field-1
Field-2
Field 10
DATA SEGMENT-3
Field-1
Field-2
Field 10
then the output and filenames should be...
X.CSV
Field-1
Field-2
Field-3
Y.CSV
Field-1
Field-2
Field-3
Z.CSV
Field-1
Field-2
Field-3
Kindly help, is there any way i can do this using File Adapter Configurations .Please suggest.

Hi,
you can use a small business process.
There you will receiver the message in one receive step.
than you need a transformation Step with a mapping which split your message to several messages.
At least you have now a Multi Row container with one message for each data segment.
For sending each messages of this multirow container you need a block in BPM.. this you have to set to parallel processing.
Inside this block you have a sending step which send the single message.
and without BPM take a look at this Weblog(you need SP14):

Dynamic file naming for 820 outbound transaction

Hi All,
We have a requirement to set the file name of outbound 820 based on few fields of xml payload from the backend BPEL process. We are currently implementing batching by sending the action name in (jca.jms.JMSProperty.ACTION_NAME) property.We are using SFTP and B2b 11.1.1.6. I've referenced the following http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/b2b-integrations/learnmore/tnb2b11g002-326857.pdf
. Please share your thoughts.
Thanks in advance!!

For batching scenario's filename passed from back-end is not considered. For batching scenarios, you have to provide the "Filename Format" in your partner channel configuration and at runtime B2B will automatically generate the filename accordingly. If you are working with AS2 then you may find "Filename Format" setting under "Exchange Protocol Parameters" of your AS2 channel (starting from 11.1.1.6.0). Filename format can be specifid using any one or all of below parameters -
%FROM_PARTY%
%TO_PARTY%
%DOCTYPE_NAME%
%DOCTYPE_REVISION%
%MSG_ID%
%TIMESTAMP%
%MSG_TYPE%
%INREPLYTO_MSG_ID%
If you are working with 11.1.1.5.0 or lower versions of 11g then please raise a SR with Oracle Support to get an appropriate patch for providing filename format in AS2 channel configuration.
For FILE/FTP/SFTP protocols, filename format setting is available in all 11g versions.

Anuj

BPM/File Content and Dynamic File Name

Bit of a double whammy here!
I am running a BPM : R/3 Proxy > XI > BPM > File Adapter (x4)
All working to a point.....
The file I receive splits into two files, then I pass a Count file - number of records to a separate file and then a file that simply says "ready" on completion. Four files are:
Data file, Lookup (values and descripton for legacy), Count file and Ready file.
To top this off, it will be run for 12 separate countries so hope to use the country code to add to the file naming - so generating 48 files (if successful). Data_GB.dat, lookup_GB.dat, Count_GB.dat and ready_GB.dat etc....
The first three, I can do (with maybe a little help!), I have looked at the use of dynamic file naming and think I can do this, however, the count file uses the initial file sent, but the ready file passes across the word "ready" to destination file. How can I utilise the dynamic naming convention if I do not use the original file for this?
Also, the "ready" file is being created but it is empty. It is okay using the the File Adapter, but when I convert it, the file is empty (but still created!) IN sxmb_moni, it is showing correctly but once the file content conversion happens, it is empty!
Any thoughts?

Thanks Bhavesh.

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.

Dynamic File Name as source file format

Hi Experts,
I have to load daily Excel Workbook to HANA.
Files will come to shared Folder in BODS Job Server in the format 'FILE_NAME_<DAYMONYYYY>'.xlsx format.
Everyday the file name will be appended with System Date Format.
Example: 'FILE_NAME_17JUL2014.xlsx', 'FILE_NAME_18AUG2014.xlsx' etc.
I tried to achieve it by creating a substitution parameter and using it to dynamically define file name.
But I am not able to define the parameter correctly. (screenshot attached).
Please advise where I am doing wrong. Is there any better way to achieve it.
Thanks,

Hi Bala,
Thanks for your suggestion.
For a test I have created
1. A Flat File named "FLAT_FILE_2014.txt".
2. A Global Variable $G_FILE_NAME as varchar(18) and value 'FLAT_FILE_'||Year(sysdate())||'.txt'.
3. Used it in the File Name for File Format.
Below is the result:
When I hard-code the file name as "FLAT_FILE_2014.txt", I am getting the data Preview.
But When I am using global variable $G_FILE_NAME, I am not getting the data Preview.
Please check attached "C.png"
Please suggest.
Thanks,
Krishnendu.
