Hi,
I have created mapping which load data into file, i have to create file with the range specified for the data to be pulled.
e.g if i have to load data from 01-sep-12 to 15-sep-12 the file name should be ext_rio_15-sep_to_15_sep. how can i achive through owb

Flat file to Oracle: Dynamic flat file name

Hi,
I am doing a transformation from flat file to oracle.
At one place there is requirement like flat file name is dynamic.
*eg. D:\ Flat DB\ Sample<Date>.txt
examples may be like Sample09012012,Sample08012012 *
As in physical schema we specify name of file is there any way by which we can specify dynamic file name.
as stated above.
Any help and suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi,
Yes you can specify a variable in the file name ( the resource name filed) .
You need to refresh the variable in a package and then use the interface to pick data from the file .
Thanks,

Creating dynamical flat file name in mapping?

Hi.
I know about the variations on how to use an input parameter and/or sysdate to create a dynamic output file name in a mapping.
My challenge is nearly the same, but I cannot make OWB generate the correct code.
Problem:
- got a one column table that holds an identifier in a string field
- got a function that reads and returns said identifier
- imported function into OWB
- trying to use the function call in the Flat File Operator's Target Data File Name, e.g. fixedfilename||fn_get_id()||sysdate||'.ext
OWB creates the code:
UTL_FILE.FOPEN(
'my_location',
'fixedfilename'||fn_get_id()||'_'||SYSDATE||'.ext',
'w',
32767
However, when compiling the package code, it returns the warning:
ORA-06550: PACKAGE BODY, line 2214, column 29: PLS-00201: identifier 'FN_GET_ID' must be declared
which results in an error when trying to execute the mapping.
I've tried substituting the function call in the FOPEN call:
myId := fn_get_id();
UTL_FILE.FOPEN(
'my_location',
'fixedfilename'||myId||'_'||SYSDATE||'.ext',
'w',
32767
and this works fine, the mapping creates a file with the desired filename. But obviously not a good solution rewriting the generated code all the time....
Anyone solved something similar?
Could I use an input parameter and the autogenerated function GET_<PARAMETER>?
But can I set the value of an input parameter inside the very same mapping?
Regards,
-Haakon-

(It always helps writing out one's problems...)
I managed to get it working :-)
Added an input parameter to the mapping, and gave the outgroup variable a default value by calling my imported function.
Then concatenated the implicitly generated function (GET_PARAMETER) in the Target Data flat file name.
I now have a target file name that changes according to a departement id stored in a parameter table.

Dynamic flat file name as source

Hi All,
I working on ODI 11g 11.1.1.3 version.
I have Flat file say ABC01 as source, flat file was successfully load into target.
But next day new file say ABC02 with same structure was generate from client.
Every day new file is generate say ABC03, ABC04 and so on.
how to use this file to load data, without changing file name.
dynamically can it is possible.
Please give me suggestion.
Thanks in advance
Prashant

Hi Prashant,
You can achieve this by doing the following :
1. Create a variable Called FILE_NAME
2. Go to your file datastore and replace the Resource Name with variable #FILE_NAME. So you need to pass correct file name to the variable.
3. To get the filename into variable , you can look into the following thread
Read FileNames in Directory
Hope it helps

Flat file name from Sender Side Dynamically into subject of Receiver Mail

Hi All,
         I am Using a file to Mail Scenario, My requirement is to get dynamically the file name from flat file of the Sender Side into Subject of Receiver Mail Adapter and attachment of file from the Sender Side. Can anyone help me out.
Thanks in Advance

Hi....
          You can write udf in the message mapping to get the Dynamic file name and map that to the subject of the receiver mail.
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) param.get(

How can I auto export a PDF File using the "Smallest File Size" preset and set the Exported File Name based on information from an Imported PDF?

Greetings all,
I am trying to create a script to automate a PDF export process for my company for inDesign. I’m fairly new to inDesign itself and have no previous experience with javascript, although I did take C++ in high school and have found it helpful in putting this code together.
We have an inDesign template file and then use the Multi-page PDF importer script to import PDF files. We then have to export two version of each file that we import, then delete the imported file and all of the pages to reset the template. This has to be done for nearly 1000 pdf files each month and is quite tedious. I’m working on automating the process as much as possible. I’ve managed to piece together code that will cleanup the file much quicker and am now trying to automate the PDF exports themselves.
The files are sent to us as “TRUGLY#####_Client” and need to be exported as “POP#####_Client_Date-Range_North/South.pdf”
For example, TRUGLY12345_Client needs to be exported as POP12345_Client_Mar01-Mar31_North and POP12345_Client_Mar01-Mar31_South.
There are two templates built into the template file for the north and south file that are toggled easily via layer visibility switches. I need to get a code that can ideally read the #s from the imported Trugly file as well as the Client and input those into variables to use when exporting. The date range is found in the same place in the top right of each pdf file. I am not sure if this can be read somehow or if it will have to be input manually. I can put North or South into the file name based on which template layer is visible.
I am not sure how to go about doing this. I did find the following code for exporting to PDF with preset but it requires me to select a preset and then type the full file name. How can I set it to automatically use the “Smallest File Size” preset without prompting me to choose and then automatically input some or preferably all of the file name automatically? (If the entire filename is possible then I don’t even want a prompt to appear so it will be fully automated!)
PDF Export Code (Originally from here: Simple PDF Export with Preset selection | IndiSnip [InDesign® Snippets]):
var myPresets = app.pdfExportPresets.everyItem().name;
myPresets.unshift("- Select Preset -");
var myWin = new Window('dialog', 'PDF Export Presets');
myWin.orientation = 'row';
with(myWin){
    myWin.sText = add('statictext', undefined, 'Select PDF Export preset:');
    myWin.myPDFExport = add('dropdownlist',undefined,undefined,{items:myPresets});
    myWin.myPDFExport.selection = 0;
    myWin.btnOK = add('button', undefined, 'OK');
myWin.center();
var myWindow = myWin.show();
if(myWindow == true && myWin.myPDFExport.selection.index != 0){
    var myPreset = app.pdfExportPresets.item(String(myWin.myPDFExport.selection));
    myFile = File(File.saveDialog("Save file with preset: " + myPreset.name,"PDF files: *.pdf"));
    if(myFile != null){
        app.activeDocument.exportFile(ExportFormat.PDF_TYPE, myFile, false, myPreset);
    }else{
        alert("No File selected");
}else{
    alert("No PDF Preset selected");
So far my code does the following:
1) Runs the Multi-Page PDF Import Script
2) Runs PDF Export Script Above
3) Toggles the Template
4) Runs #2 Again
5) Deletes the imported PDF and all pages and toggles template again.
It’s close and much better than the original process which was almost 100% manual but I’d like to remove the Preset prompt from the PDF script and have it automatically select the “Smallest File Size” preset. and then if there’s a way to have it auto-fill in the file name so no user input is required at all other than selecting each file to import. (If there’s a way to setup a batch action for the multi-import script that would be even better!)
Thanks in advance and if there’s anything else I can provide that would help please let me know! Even a nudge in the right direction will be a big help!

If you hold down the option key, it will typically show the location. Or you can often hit option-return on the file and it will reveal the file in the Finder, instead of opening it.
Final option is to open it, and just option-click the filename in the toolbar of Preview and it should show you the location.
It's probably an attachment to an email you've received. If you have Mail set to cache emails and their attachments it'll be stashed in a subdirectory of ~/Library/Mail. Which is fine.

Dynamic source file names

Hi all,
I am planning to load data from a flat file using an external table in an OWB mapping. Will my mapping work correctly if my file name changes at every load...as an example file name in October is sales_200310 in november it will be sales_200311.
In case OWB cannot handle this kind of variable file name then does it allow to include a pre mapping script (shell script or batch command) to change the flat file name to a standard name each time the mapping is executed.
Pls. suggest a workaround for this problem.
My environment -- Oracle 9i, OWB 9.2
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Amit.

Amit,
OWB does not support dynamic file names at the moment. You will have to rename the file(s) into a static, pre-defined name either by running a pre mapping process in the mapping or by running an external process from a process flow.

Igor

Dynamic Configuration File Names

Hi,
I have a RFC->XI->File scenario.
I have to put the target files names based on the calculation of values in 2 fields in the input.
I tried using Dynamic Configuration in my message mapping for this.
This is the code:
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container.getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create(u201Chttp://sap.com/xi/XI/System/Fileu201D,u201CFileNameu201D);
String MyFileName = a + "_" + b +".xml";
conf.put(key, myFileName);
I checked ASMA in both the sender RFC adapter as well as the receiver file adapter.
But it never works.
I saw the dynamic configuration tab in SXMB_MONI but i can see only the RFC destination parameter.
Cant see the file filename parameter.
What is the problem here?

No need enable ASMA on RFC sender adapter.
See if the file channel is activated after selecting ASMA with FileName.
The UDF might not be use in the mapping. Check this.

Include Flat file name as a field in the PSA / DSO.

Hi,
I have a requirement to include the Flat file name also in the DSO which is used for loading the data from a flat file source. I have created a new infoobject for File Name in the DSO. Can you guide me from which table I can get this information.
I was thinking of reading this information from the table which stores the file name in a routine in the transformation to the DSO.
I came across the table RSLDPSEL, it stores the Infopackage name and file name. But this does not work when I am using the same infopackage to load multiple files. Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Hari.

Hi,
The main challenge is to get the Technical name of the infopackage in the transformation ( field routine) from PSA (Datasource Source) to DSO for the Filename info object.
Is there any table which stores the Infopackage and the corresponding data target information in BI 7.0 sothat I could use the field routine in transformation to get the Infopackage ID based on the data target (DSO) ?
Once I have the technical name of the Infopackage, my logic is to query the RSLDPSEL table and find the file name based on Infopackage ID.
Please share your thoughts on how this scenario could be realised.
Thanks,
Regards,
Hari

Creation of internal table dynamically based on the Date Range entered

Hi SAPgurus,
I have been facing one issue i.e creation of internal table dynamically based on the date range entered in the selection screen. For example the date range I am giving as 06/2006 to 08/2006, it should display the Fieldcatelog dynamically, this part i have completed but the only issue I am facing is to populate the sales data into that fields.
Right now my program is displaying the ALV like this.
Ex:
<b>CSR    District   06/2006 07/2006 08/2006 totals</b>
Shiva      New York                             10.00
Shiva      new york                             30.00
Shiva      new york                             40.00
but it should display like this
<b>CSR    District 06/2006 07/2006 08/2006 totals</b>
Shiva New York 10.00   30.00 40.00
80.00
Please help me in this scenario, how to acheive like this..

Dynamic Receiver file name in AS2 adapter

Hi Experts,
How to get dynamic receiver file name in AS2 adapter. We need receiver file name same as of sender file name.
We tried selecting dynamic attributes file name but we are getting followin error in CC.
Message processing failed. Cause: javax.resource.ResourceException: Fatal exception: com.seeburger.xi.connector.queue.TaskBuildException: Mandatory attribute dtAS2FileName is not present in XI message., Mandatory attribute dtAS2FileName is not present in XI message.
Thanks,
Hari

hi hari,
You can't do it manually. As both adapter are in different context.
You can go with UDF to slove ur problem.
Just extract the input file name using Dynamic configuration
Store that in some variable.
Use same name in the dynamic file name in AS2 receiver. Below code might be useful.
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container.getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create( "http://seeburger.com/xi/common/dtAS2FileName", "DYNFILENAME");
conf.put(key,strfilename);
Thanks

File Count with selected date range

Hi,
Our requirement is to get the file count with selected date by the user from two sharepoint date time controls i.e. dtp1 and dtp2 into the data table. I am able to get the file count of specific folder from Pages library through below code. Now need to get
the selected date range from two date time picker controls and check with the item created by is within the date range. If yes I need to get the file count.
So please share your ideas/thoughts to do the same.
SPList list =
wikiweb.Lists["Pages"];
                    SPFolderCollection oFolders
= list.RootFolder.SubFolders["foldername"].SubFolders;
                    DataTable dt
= new DataTable();
                    dt.Columns.Add("Column1");
                    DataRow dr;
                    if (oFolders.Count
> 0)
                        foreach (SPFolder oFolder in oFolders)

Hi,
I have modified the code as below
if((DateTime)(oFolder.Item.File.TimeCreated>dtFromDate.SelectedDate)&&(DateTime)(oFolder.Item.File.TimeCreated<dtToDate.SelectedDate))
But still it is throwing the error.
Please share your ideas on the same.

Dynamic flat file loading in OWB 11g

Hi,
I'm working on owb 11g, i need to load multiple files into tables having the same file name where only the date and file sequence number changes. The files are of format:
FileA_2009_1
FileA_2009_2
FileA_2009_3,etc....
How can i dynamically change the files and load to one table. Can this be achieved through external tables or sql* loader? Is there any such new feature in OWB 11g?
Rgds
Rex

Hi
SQLLoader mappings have the data filename as an optional input parameter (a fully qualified name can be passed). So you could have a loop to get the names and call the mapping. If it was External table you'd have to do an alter table to set the data file. If the filenames are static you can configure the ext table and mapping with the names.
Cheers
David
