Dynamic Filename with TimeStamp

Hi Guys,
i'd like to post a file on a ftp with following structure:
yyyyddmmhhmmssMatNr
Well the TimeStamp is a given function from XI. Reading the payload for getting the matNr is also given with variable Substitution.
But getting both together didn't work for me. When i chose "Add Tme Stamp" and the variable Substitution in Receiver Adapter the output-file looks like:
MatNryyyyddmmhhmmss
9111111220070629-153110-012
which is not the way i wanted it :). So does somebody have an idea on this?!
And for the timestamp: is it possible to get rid of "-"?!
br Jens

Jens,
As Michal suggested , the best way is ASMA.
Please write the below code in UDF with two i/p parameters
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container.getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File","FileName");
String inputdate = yourInputdate;
String fname = MATNR;
String finalname = inputdate""fname;
conf.put(key,finalname);
return "";
The logic is
Take two input -
>UDF------->Root Node[target]
Best regards,
raj.

Save the o/p of the query in Application Server, Filename with Timestamp

Dear Experts,
I have a scenario that on 1st of every month, a query needs to execute and save the output of that query in Application Server, Filename along with Timestamp.
For ex: Production_19/09/2011
So, I Created a Query Extract in RSCRM_REPORT and gave the path name and scheduled. The output of the query is saved successfully in Application Server.
But I need Timestamp along with Filename.
Please help me out with the timestamp issues, how could I include Timestamp with Filename (Query Name).
Thanks,
SAP BI

Hi chaith,
You can achieve the result with out any code. You have to use the APD concept to extract the query to a file.
check the following link which help you to create a logical path

Picking files from FTP server with dynamic Filename.

Hello Experts,
I want to pick some files from a FTP server in a File to Idoc scenario. The files in the Ftp Server are created with the filenames as timestamp of the file when it was created. How do I pick up these files?
Thanks,

Hi,
The above masking concept (*.txt, . etc) will be applicable for the files with NFS only,
See the below link to apply it
/people/mickael.huchet/blog/2006/09/18/xipi-how-to-exclude-files-in-a-sender-file-adapter
The below link will help you to build up the adapter module to read the dynamic file name

Dynamic Filename in BPM process (SOAP with attachm. and PayloadSwapBean)

Hello together
I have the following BPM process:
1. IDoc=>WebServiceRequest
2. WebServiceResponse (payload) => IDoc
3. WebServiceResponse (attachment) => File
XI receivs an IDoc an map it to an WebService. The Webservice is called by XI and we receive the WebServiceResponse including a PDF attachment.
The challenge is to store the PDF attachment with a dynamic filename from the payload of WebServiceResponse.
We use the PayloadSwapBean to change the payload to the PDF attachment. But then we are not able to access the required information on the original WebService-XML-Response via variable substitution.
Is there a solution in the standard or have we to use a custom adapter module?
Thx

Hi Jayasimha,
We can do this by "Adapter Specific Message Properties" of ur comunication channels.
1.If u want to keep the output filename same as input filename, no need to use the UDF. only the 'adapter specific parameters' in both sender n receiver file adapter will do that.
In case if u want to get the filename inside our mapping we have to create a user defined function
which will return the filename and map it to one of our XML tags. 2nd point gives solution 4 that:
2. If u want to generate an output file taking some input from the payload,then u hav to use the UDF.There u hav to populate the name.
Pretty much.... if you set an attribute from the sender side, for example, you can use a UDF and access the particular attribute sent and use it in the mapping. In another example, where no attributes are sent from the sender, you can still actually set a particular attribute, say a filename derived from the payload, using a UDF, and enable the receiver attribute to use it. That's where the UDFs come in - either to get or set particular adapter specific message attributes.
This will be a very helpful blog which solves ur query:

Export query results to flat file with dynamic filename

Hi
Can anybody can point me how to dynamic export query serults set to for example txt file using process flows in OWB.
Let say I have simple select query
select * from table1 where daterange >= sysdate -1 and daterange < sysdate
so query results will be different every day because daterange will be different. Also I would like to name txt file dynamicly as well
eg. results_20090601.txt, results_20090602.txt, results_20090603.txt
I cant see any activity in process editor to enter custom sql statment, like it is in MSSQL 2000 or 2005
thanks in advance

You can call existing procedures from a process flow the procedure can create the filename with whatever name you desire. OWB maps with file as target can also create a file with a dynamic name defined by an expression (see here ).
Cheers

Auto-Save-Option with increasing filenames (counter, timestamp eg.)

Hello!
I want to pdf a job of 30.000 single printer pages, which are generated by a computer programme.
I'm able to choose the Autos-Save-Option by setting a dedicated folder at the printer settings. But there ist no option to install an increasing filename (counter, timestamp eg.). For that reason Acrobat overwrites the previous file each time (30.000x).
In some freeware-tools this funktion is implemented. Where or in which version can I find this funktion in Adobe Acrobat?
Thank you for your help.
Greetings from Germany!

Hi, HiddenMist,
Following the suggestion, I have removed all information I can remove. I have set all settings to "contacts only" that can be set to such. I cannot change my avatar because I cannot save changes (without adding my last name, which is currently blank). I have left everything blank that I can leave blank. I have been contacted three times after I have made these changes, as suggested.
In the Windows Desktop version of the Skype software, I can navigate to my profile settings: Skype -> Profile -> Edit your profile.
My work-around still works ... for me, at least, which is why I continue to recommend it.
Hi, Bartholomue, and welcome to the community,
Did you know that if you look up how to delete your name from the Skype directory, it says that you are effectively disabling your account? Your name will not show up in searches, and it will remain in the contact lists of those who have already added you, but those contacts will no longer be able to call you.
Yes, indeed, this is true.

Elaine

Dynamic filename in receiver AS2 adapter in B2B Add-on

Hello Experts,
Can you please let me know how we can put dynamic filename in the receiver AS2 adapter for B2B Addon on SAP 7.4.
Thanks
Saurabh

Hi Ryan / Experts,
Let me explain you in more detail.
In the receiver AS2 Communication channel, if I keep the Filename field as blank as shown below, then in the Mendelson inbox folder, a file is generated with the name "ASJAVA_DX5" which is my business component name.
If I fill the filname field for example with "CONTRL", then in the Mendelson inbox folder, a file is generated with the name "CONTRL".
This is my requirement because, suppose i trigger this interface "first time", a file with static name (ASJAVA_DX5/CONTRL ) would be generated in the inbox folder. If I trigger this interface "second time", since the file already exists with same name, it is not overwritten and I cannot check the output of 2nd trigger . Contents are not overwritten.
To solve this problem + as a general requirement, I wish to have this name to be dynamic, atleast with date+timestamp.
Can you please help.

Dynamic Filename Error

Hi all,
I have the requirement of getting same file name with timestamp on the receiver side (EX.Filename_timestamp) by modifying the Adapterspecific messageattributes refering the following blog
Re: Regarding Target File name
and wrote the code as specifeid in the blog as follows mapped to some
dummy variable on the target side
//write your code here
String FileName    = "";
String TimeStamp = "";
DynamicConfiguration conf1 = (DynamicConfiguration) container
    .getTransformationParameters()
    .get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key1 = DynamicConfigurationKey.create            ("http:/"+"/sap.com/xi/XI/System/File","FileName");
FileName = conf1.get(key1);
TimeStamp = container.getTransformationParameters().get
(StreamTransformationConstants.TIME_SENT).toString();
FileName = FileName.replaceAll( ".txt" ,"_" );
FileName = FileName;
conf1.put(key1,FileName);
return FileName;
but iam getting an error as follows in the receiver side communication channel moniroting.
Message processing failed. Cause:com.sap.aii.af.ra.ms.api.RecoverableException: Rename failed.:
com.sap.aii.adapter.file.ftp.FTPEx: 550 Rename failed.
An error occurred while connecting to the FTP server '10.6.161.65:21'. The FTP server returned the following error message: 'com.sap.aii.adapter.file.ftp.FTPEx: 550 Rename failed.'. For details, contact your FTP server vendor.
Can anybody give me an idea of how to reslove the error.
Thanks,
Ram.

I dont think it is a permission issue...it seems to be due to the way the UDF is defined....are you successful in giving the fileName (without TImeStamp)....
also can you change the String FileName = ""; to String fileName = ""; .....may be it is conflicting with the
DynamicConfigurationKey key1 = DynamicConfigurationKey.create            ("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File","FileName");
Also when you do Dynamic Configuration the return statement is not needed....the value gets populated into the ASMA attribute directly....

Dynamic Filename in Fileadapter

Hi all,
I like to use the new feature (SP15) of the "Adapter Specific Message Properties" but with out success. I have read Michaels Blog "XI: The same filename from a sender to a receiver file adapter - SP14" but it give me not a clue how to use these properties during the normal receiver configuration and also the manual is not very clear about it. I have set a Variable with "FileName message:FileName" (I have tried also "message:File_Name") Than I have used this filename Variable in the field "Filename Schema" like %FileName%. But I allways got this error: com.sap.aii.adapter.file.varsubst.VariableDataSourceException: Unknown message header category 'FileName' for variable 'FileName'.
What have I missed out here?
Thankx
Manfred Schmidt-Voigt

Hi Manfred,
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 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.

Dynamic Filename from source IDOC payload

Hi,
I have a scenario IDOC --> ABAP Mapping --> Flat File. I need to create the receiver file name dynamically with the document number from souce IDOC. Since the target payload is flat file I don't know whether I can use the variable substitution. Also can I use the dynamic configuration with ABAP Class mapping.
Please help.
Thanks.
Srini

Actually Henrique's reply in this thread has the exact code,
Re: Abap mapping and variable substitution in File adapter
METHOD if_mapping~execute.
DATA l_record type mpp_dynamic.
* copy payload
result = source.
* add an adapter specific attribute
l_record-namespace = 'http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File'.
l_record-name = 'FileName'.
l_record-value = 'test.xml'.
dynamic_configuration->add_record( l_record ).
ENDMETHOD.

Dynamic Filename

Hi
i am using the variable substitution method in file adapter for dynamic filenam.e But the adapter is throwing error saying
"Message processing failed: Error during variable substitution: com.sap.aii.adapter.file.varsubst.VariableDataSourceException: The following variable was not found in the message payload: var1"
am using the variable %var1%.dat in the filename.
Any idea why happens. Am in SP14.
And if use Adpter specific message properties, it is saying FileName missing. Even if i give this as variable it is not taking.

Check the help..If its part of message Payload you need to prefix with payload:

ABAP mapping split messages and dynamic filename

Hello,
i have set up a IDOC to file scenario where the IDOC is split into several files, which works fine. In addition to this it is required to set a dynamic filename out of the ABAP mapping for each file. If only one file is created this works already as well but how do you set the dynamic configuration when the messages are split?
Regards,
Andreas
Edited by: Andreas on Feb 26, 2009 9:09 AM

you cannot do dynamic configuration for message splits. The below is from SAP help.
Adapter-Specific Attributes and Multi-Mappings
In multi-mappings, there are multiple message headers with adapter-specific attributes. The mapping API can only access one message header. This has the following consequences depending on whether there are multiple source or target messages:
u25CF     1:n Transformation
If there are multiple target messages, the header for the adapter-specific attributes is copied for each message. This means that you can only create one header for all adapter-specific attributes, and not individual headers.
u25CF     n:1 Transformation
This variant is only possible for multi-mappings in integration processes. If there is more than one source message, read-access to the adapter-specific attributes of the various message headers is not possible at runtime.
u25CF     m:n Transformation
All afore-mentioned restrictions apply here. Developers can at most write the same adapter-specific attributes for all target messages to the header, without read-access to the attributes of the source messages. m:n transformations are only supported within integration processes.
What i will suggest is to use BPM to have the message split i.e 1:N mapping and then after that have another mapping 1-1 to have the dynamic configuration

How to pass dynamic filename to Receiver JMS channel

Hi experts,
I want to pass the dynamic filename to receiver JMS message Properties.
for example
I am passing directory name via adapter module AF_Modules/DynamicConfigurationBean with key and value combination like below. How to pass dynamic filename value to a dynamic property ( say DCJMSMessageProperty1)
eg.
key.0 - >insert http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/JMS DCJMSMessageProperty0
value.0 - > testdirectory ( which is static value)
Note: Im have not created any ESR object . i just have to bypass the file to a jms queue. I have used AAE integrated configuration scenario ( file to jms )

       // read filename value
       filename = conf.get(key);
      // So far we extracted filename value .. now do your logic something like this...
      DynamicConfigurationKey key2 = DynamicConfigurationKey.create(NameSpace,"yourjmsvalue goes here");
