Dynamic Filename in File adapter

Hi,
I am doing idoc-file scenario.I get the filename as a field in one of the segments of my idoc.Can anyone please let me know how i can get the filename from my idoc and use this filename in my file adapter.

Hi all,
Thanks a lot for your replies.
Please find below the inbound message that i get. Now i need to get the filename that i get in one of the segments and use that in the file adapter.

In the file adapter, I have specified "%filename%.xml" as my file name and in variable substitution the reference is "payload:ZSSV_GENERIC_IDOC,1,IDOC,1,EDI_DC40,1,Z1SSV_ITEMS_SUMMARY,1,HOST_FILENAME,1".
I still get the same error "Message processing failed: Error during variable substitution: "
Waiting for your help in this matter.

Dynamic Configuration of File Adapter

Hi,
XI Version 3.0 SP13, Planning to upgrade to SP14
In my scenario I need to pick up files from 4 static locations and based on the file name and pick up type(file/ftp) I can find out the destination's connectivity information from a Cross-Referencing table(Based on MS-SQL Database table- I can get this using look API) in this table we maintaining more than 100 destinations(host/user_name/password etc).
Now I need to set the connectivity information dynamically at runtime. I know this is not possible with Standard XI but does anyone thinks this is possible by any technical way using with XI.. Adapter Modules or Java Proxies?
This is very Critical to win the war with other inhouse middleware tools. Please let me know your thoughts and comments...
thanks,

Dynamic File Name for Receiver File Adapter

How to generate file name dynamically in receiver FIle adapter? Please help

Dear Experts,
   I have a scenario where I need to generate output file with the name dynamically pulled from the XI payload.
   In receiver File communication channel I don't see any option where we can specify the XML path for the file name.
   For example:
   If my inbound XML structure (inbound interface) is like below:
   <filename>file123.txt</filename>
   <RootNode>
         <Element1>Product123</Element1>
   <RootNode>
From this I need to pick the filename value and generate the output file with the same value.
How can I achieve this? Please help!
Thanks & Regards
Gopal

Gopal,
You can use DynamicConfiguration class for this.
You need to write UDF for this and with input of filename you want to set and map this UDF to the top level node.
Refer the below famous blog from Micheal:
/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/11/10/xi-the-same-filename-from-a-sender-to-a-receiver-file-adapter--sp14
You can also use Variable substitution to get value from payload, search SDN on this.

Passing file name dynamically to the file adapter

Hi All,
I'm using a file adapter to create a file from the XML message after mapping in XI. The file name is given in the file adapter configuration. Is it possible to have the file name as a part of the message and pass it to the file adapter dynamically? Or is it possible to have the file name in some variable or something in XI (like a BPM variable) and pass it to the adapter for every message?
Does someone have any idea?
Thanks,
Sandeep

Hi Sandeep,
This is possible.
For creating filenames dynamically for your sender, you will have to crate a variable name ( eg: %VAR%) as you file name and then you will have to give the name of your file under variable substitution. Just check this link for more info,
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/14/80243b4a66ae0ce10000000a11402f/frameset.htm
In the case of receiver file adapaters, you have 5 options for file creation like,
1.Create
2.Append
3. Add time stamp
4.Add Counter
5. Add Message ID
You can choose any of these options or you can do it dynamically from you payload. Just check out this help link for more info,
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/14/80243b4a66ae0ce10000000a11402f/frameset.htm
Hope this helps

Read File identified by filename from File Adapter

Hi all,
is there any way to read a file (which is identified by a given name) by using the file adapter.
My scenario is the following:
Webservice -> PI -> File
I call PI via a Webservice. The webservice call contains the filename of the file that i'd like to receive as response. Is it possible to realize this scenario with PI - from my experience it is not possible. But i would appreciate if you have some alternative solutions for me.
BR,
Martin

Hi Martin,
you can't achieve required functionality by standard File adapter; you need to write adapter module to achieve it.
SAP says
If you are developing a module for the sender file/FTP adapter and want to access the file name, see SAP Note 819761
below is the link for Adapter module generation which might help.

Dynamic filename in mail adapter

Hi,
how can I set the filename of a mail attachment dynamically in a receiver mail adapter (also dynamically configured)?
I had to uncheck the "keep attachment" because of our scenario.
If I check this box I get a .xml file which I can rename with the MessageTransformBean (but not dynamically?) but I get to much files in the mail.
Now I get a .dat file and want to rename it dynamically in e.g. dynamicName.txt.
Can you give me some input how to do that?
Thanks in advance
Dominic

Hi
<i>isn't it possible to set the filename of the attachment in the message-mapping?</i>
--->
Try writing this UDF so to get the name in mapping
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container.getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File","FileName");
conf.put(key,a); // a - parameter given to UDF that specifies filename
String ourSourceFileName = conf.get(key);
return ourSourceFileName;
Hope this helps

Receiver determination using substring in filename in file adapter

Hi
In PI 7.11 I would like to determine the receiver based on a substring in the filename in a file receiver adapter. I am planning on using a context object but am having trouble entering the correct code in the "Right Operand" field.
I have tried selecting Context Object = Filename http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File and entering this code in the Right Operand: "contains(substring('_4000_'))"   and an "=" in the as I am looking for a filename, that contains the substring "_4000_".
I would like to avoid using an extra map and using Dynamic Configuration, as I thing this would be the most elegant way of fixing it
Is there a way of referencing the context object if I chose xpath in stead of context object?
MIkael

Hi Mikael,
I have the same scenario like you , could you please tell me about the condition how to you use XPath for Context Object
I need to check the file name and according to that I have to put the file in the different directory.
Source File: XXXX_IN_xxxx
                   XXXX_PH_xxxx
I have to check the 7th and 8th Char of the file and according to that I have to place the file in the folder
Target: DGE008\IN\Inbound
            DGE008PH\Inbound
I don't know how to used the XPATH for file and specially how to use the substring in that.
Could you please help.
Thanks,

Dynamic filename configuration via custom EJB

Hi Experts,
We are doing a poc on whether we can do the dynamic filename configuration,i.e. set the file name dynamically in a custom EJB deployed on the server and called in the sender comm. channel of any J2EE based adapter.
The requirement is for some interfaces, there is no mapping requirement other then setting the filename dynamically, which maybe based on a certain value of the input file or a specific portion of string in the payload.
The custom EJB takes the namespace and attribute as input parameters along with other string manupulation parameters to determine the receiver file name. That is if we are using sender JMS adapter, we can have namespace = http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/JMS and attribute as DCJMSMessageProperty1. The bean would read the value and perform the manipulation based on certain other input parameters and set the file.
There is one particular bean : AF_Modules/DynamicConfigurationBean but it does not allow us to manipulate the filename.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Shiladitya

Hi XI Expert,
Could you help to advise me, what i should o with this scenario :

can monitoring fix directory and file (patter).

Filename with FTP adapter

Hi,
Is there any one who knows how to specify the filename dynamicly in the File Adapter?.
I can only see that i can specify the filename as a constant and just add a time stamp. But the case is that i need to specify the name dynamicly using some data from the payload.
/Jakob

Hi Boris,
You are right. I checked with some my friends in SAP and they told me right now its possible only to manuplate the payload.
One other solution for this problem is to do post processing. For example write your files using MessageID or counter as "File construction mode" and then call a batch pgm or some pgm using "Operating system command" from the receiver file adapter which renames all the files written to a particular folder.

File adapter doubt

i have doubt regarding file adapter
can a file adapter work dynamically?
for example: we are configuring one file name and a path.
whether multiple files can be taken from the path dynamically when using file adapter.

Hi Allen -
On the sender file adapter side you have the wildcard options (e.g. *, ?) and in addition you can set exclusion masks to exclude files with a certain pattern. You can set additional folders too for additional files in a different location (<a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/e3/94007075cae04f930cc4c034e411e1/frameset.htm">Additional Files</a>)
On the receiver side, you can use <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/bc/bb79d6061007419a081e58cbeaaf28/frameset.htm">Variable Substitution</a> to dynamically set the filename and path based on message content (payload or header).

Sender File Adapter - Dynamic Filename?

Dear All,
I have a simple requirement to retrieve a file named "XXX_ddmmyy" from an FTP site. The FTP site administrator will place a new file everyday. The date is part of the filename.
I can find a lot of information on how to set the Filename for a "Receiver File Adapter", but none about dynamically setting of the filename for a "Sender File Adapter".
Can you help please?
Kind Regards
Farshad

Hi,
You have mentioned over here that the requirement is to get the file "XXX_ddmmyy" from an FTP site.
Is that site strictly for keeping files related to your requirement only or lot of other files are also being placed???
If its strictly related to your requirement then you can use the filename "*.extension" and set the processing mode as "delete" so that once the File Adapter picks the file it will be automatically deleted.
But here disadvantage is that the file wont be no longer present in FTP site once it is picked by File adapter.
Thanks,
Lekshmi.

Dynamic Filename on Receiver File Adapter

Hi,
I am running XI 3.0 SP 14.
The scenario is
SAP R/3 (IDOC) > XI (Receiver File Adapter)> FTP Server
There is no mapping on the XI side, we just drop the IDOC XML on to the ftp server.
I would like to configure a dynamic file name on the Receiver File Adapter where if the 'MSATZ' Field
within the E1EPD04 segment of the IDOC is populated then I would like to send a separate
Filename than the one specified on the 'File Name Scheme'.
Has anybody done this or any suggestion how I should go about this please.
Thank you.
Warm Regards,
Ranjan

Hi Guys,
When I tried to create the User defined function as below, I got the Null value for the "StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION" object.
My code looks like this,(this is part of the debuging code)
Start
public String Create(String a,String b,Container container){
if (container.getTransformationParameters() == null)
return "conf.null";
if (container.getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION) == null)
return "Dynamic.null";
return b;
--End
On the output I get the value "Dynamic.null". I do not know why the object value is Null.
Any suggestion pls.
Thank you.
Warm Regards,
Ranjan

File-adapter with Dynamic Directory/Filenames in Header-variables

Hi,
I have looked through the file-adapter documentation. And it says that you can use wildcards/regexpressions/dynamic file and directory names using the file-adapter-wizard. Also you can use the header-variables to specify the file and directory names at run-time.
Is it also possible to use the dynamic names using the header-variables?
I want to create a process that I can give in the file/directory-names at run-time and that it will look for a file using the wild-cards to pickup. Since at run-time I often do not know the name of the file, since it might contain a sequence or date/time-stamp. But I do know the location and the structure of the file name (that is specified at config-time).
The same question for outbound: if I specify a name in the header-variables with forexample '%seq%' in the name, like 'filename_%seq%.XML', will it then create the file with the sequence?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Martien

Hi,
I've been trhough this document over and over again, but did not find anything on how to do it actually. But I found out that the file-outbound-header wsdl does not contain a directory element after generation by the wizard. But you can add it afterwards.
Also you can replace the location attribute in the jca:address element of the adapter-wsdl by mcf properties (host, username, password) and override them by copying the values to the partnerlink using bpelx:properties.
I planned to put the details in my blog.

Martien
