Dynamic name physical file target

Hi
i have create logical file name with physical target name : /appli/interfaces/<FILENAME>_<SYSID>.csv
i want also add system time , date in this name.
anyone cab help me
thanks.

This is exactly the same as for <FILENAME> and <SYSID>. Those are all reserved words. In transaction file on field Physical file click F1 help and you will see a list of all reserverd words you can use and are subsituted automatically.
Here is part of the list:
Reserved word Word to be substituted
<OPSYS> Operating system in call
<INSTANCE> R/3 application instance
<SYSID> R/3 application name in SY-SYSID
<DBSYS> Database system in SY-DBSYS

See the post here for dynamically generating target file names using the OWB file operator as a target;
http://blogs.oracle.com/warehousebuilder/2007/07/dynamically_generating_target.html
Other techniques also include using a table function as a target.

Dynamic name for File through FTP Adapter

I am working on FTP Put and I have a requirement where in I have to generate the file with dynamic content in its name.I should actually embed a Purchase Order number in that file name follwed by a sequence number.I dont need any time stamp.Should I create a variable for this?
Help in this regard would be highly appreciated.

Hi,
you have to enable the adapter specific parameter --> file name in both the sender and the receiver CC to get the input file name as output file name.
Refer this blog:
/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/11/10/xi-the-same-filename-from-a-sender-to-a-receiver-file-adapter--sp14
Also you need to use this udf
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;

Dynamic Physical File names on AL11

Hi,
I have the following requirement.
I have almost 25 files to be exported onto AL11 using OpenHub from various infoproviders and I used the "Logical File name" option to do it.
I would like to have the physical file names as " ZINFOPROV_<DATE>_<TIME> " and Infoprovider tech. name should get populated dynamically somehow.
I was looking at the following thread for the same req : Re: Open Hub File name Change
I defined my logical file name definition as
Logical file Z_SALES
Name Used for SALES
Physical file ZINFOPROV_<DATE>_<TIME>
Data format ASC
Applicat.area BW
Logical path Z_SALES
I would like this ZINFOPROV populated dynamically.
Any have any inputs/suggestions.
Regards,
Kumar

Hi Kumar,
You have a very good question and also shown the viewer of your post the way forward. Well i got your answer from your question only. Considering <DATE> as one kind of literals, you need a literal to identify the infoprovider as one part of your filename. Now my answer is not direct resolution but it may lead you to your answer. Here are the list of other literals that might be of use to you.....
Extract from the help.......
Physical path name
Platform-specific physical path under which files are stored. It most contain the reserved word <FILENAME> as a placeholder for the file name. IT can also contain further reserved words (see below).
Use
The physical path name is used by the function module FILE_GET_NAME at run time to create a complete platform-specific file name.
Procedure
Specify a path. You can include the following reserved words in pointed brackets. These are replaced with current values at runtime.
Reserved Word Replacement Text
<OPSYS> Operating system in call
<INSTANCE> R/3 application instance
<SYSID> R/3 application name in SY-SYSID
<DBSYS> Database system in SY-DBSYS
<SAPRL> R/3 release in SY-SAPRL
<HOST> Host name in SY-HOST
<CLIENT> Client in SY-MANDT
<LANGUAGE> Log on language in SY-LANGU
<DATE> Date in SY-DATUM
<YEAR> Year in SY-DATUM, 4-character
<SYEAR> Year in SY-DATUM, 2-character
<MONTH> Month in SY-DATUM

<TIME> Time in SY-UZEIT
<STIME> Hour and minute in SY-UZEIT
<HOUR> Hour in SY-UZEIT
<MINUTE> Minute in SY-UZEIT
<SECOND> Seconds in SY-UZEIT
<PARAM_1> External parameter 1
<PARAM_2> External parameter 2
<PARAM_3> External parameter 3
<P=name> Name of a profile parameter (see Report RSPARAM for valid values)
<V=name> Name of a variable (stored in variable table)
<F=name> Return value of a function module Naming convention for this function module: FILENAME_EXIT_name
<Y=name> Return value of a function module Naming convention for this function module: Y_FILENAME_EXIT_name
<Z=name> Return value of a function module Naming convention for this function module: Z_FILENAME_EXIT_name
Examples
Local directory for temporary files under Windows NT: D:\GLOBAL\ARCHIVE\<PARAM_1>\<FILENAME>
Local directory for temporary files under DOS:C:\TMP\<FILENAME>
Local directory for temporary files under UNIX: /usr/<SYSID>/local/tmp/<CLIENT>/<FILENAME>
Dependencies
The function module for the run-time variable <F=name> must meet the following requirements:
Name
The name must begin with "FILENAME_EXIT_".
Parameter
An export parameter with the name "OUTPUT" must exist. No structure may exist for this parameters.
Import parameters are only supported if they have default values.
Table parameters are not supported.
Valid example: FILENAME_EXIT_EXAMPLE.
I hope this leads you to your resolution.

Xml file in dynamic file name in file receiver adapter

Hi,
I'm doing the dynamic file name in file receiver adapter. I have done as per instructed in /people/jayakrishnan.nair/blog/2005/06/20/dynamic-file-name-using-xi-30-sp12-part--i
All turned out okay. I have got the file name I require. Except that the file format is XML and I need to suppress the filename node occupied by the dynamic file name.
The content conversion mentioned in /people/sravya.talanki2/blog/2005/08/11/solution-to-the-problem-encountered-using-variable-substitution-with-xi-sp12, does not seem to solve my problem. As it is only for file format other than the XML one, because we only do the content conversion if we want to "convert" the format of the content from XML to the other format.
Does anybody have the solution to my problem? thanks in advance

Thank you Raj for the direction
The way to do it is :
1. In ID, advanced tab, put a check on the adapter-specific message attributes - file name.
2. Put a "*" on the file name scheme
3. In IR, create a UDF to set up target file name :
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container
.getTransformationParameters()
.get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File","FileName");
// set up file name for receiver adapter
String SourceFileName = conf.get(key);
conf.put(key, TargetFileName);
return " ";
4. Map the above UDF to the header level of the target structure.
Regards,
Idi

Regarding file name in the target system

Hi..
I have got a file name releated problem in XI.
I have configured a flow in XI system using proxy and after mapping process creates a output file in target machine as a "Test<Date-Time Satmp>.dat".
Test is the file name and adding date-time stamp to that.
I am using file adapter.
Now my requiremnt is that instead of "Test<Date-Time Satmp>.dat", I need to create a file as
"<Date-Time Satmp>Test.dat" .
Please let me know if anyone has come across similar situation.It is urgent.
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 jahangir laskar,
For the Receiver communication channel, (file adapter)
Enter in the fields
1. Under File Access Parameters section,
File Name Scheme : test.dat
2. Under Processing Parameters
File Construction Mode : Add Time Stamp
This should work, i just tested it out.

Mapping physical file name to logical file name

Hi All,
Can anybody let me know wht is the procedure to map a logical file name to physical file name. wht is the use of logical file name when there exists physical file name?
Thanx in Advance

As far as creating the Logical path its done through the transaction code file by using options
Steps are:
1. Logical file path definition which is logical file path name.
2. Assignment of physical path to logical path - where we give the physical path to the logical path name defined in the last step.
After creating the Logical path the procedure to attach the file name to the Logical path is as follows:
Use the function Module C13Z_FRONT_END_TO_APPL to upload the file from the front end to the application server.
Source file on front end will be the CSV file path which is to be uploaded to the application server
Target file on application server will be the physical path of the file on the application server where the file is to be uploaded.
Attach the physical path of the file on the application server to the Logical file using transaction code file.
Logical File: The Logical name of the file which will be used by the interfaces to upload the file
Physical file: The name of the physical file on the application server
Logical path: The path of the physical file on the application server where it is stored.
The possible reason for the use of Logical file name could be we can have directories within SAP in which we can have logical files stored. These files can be used by various interfaces. Different Logical paths can be used for different interfaces. the second reson can be to give more user friendly name to the file rather than a long physical name to the file.

Assign Logical file name for the physical file path through Program

Hi all,
I am having a physical file which is getting generated dynamically. It is having the date and time stamp in its name which is added at runtime.
Now I need to assign a logical file name for the physical file path through the program.
Is there any FM or any other method to assign the same.
Gaurav

I think it is not possible. becuase the date & time added at runtime. so if you check the table PATH you can find filename and their definitions

Retrieving dynamic name files from FTP

Hello,
I have a scenario where PI needs to pull a file from a FTP site with a dynamic format of VendorYYYYMMDD.txt; A new one is placed there every day.
One posting has an example is from ASM to PI to FTP: Re: Change in time stamp format in receiver file name. However mine is FTP to PI to ECC. I have thought of using a synchronous call from Sender ABAP proxy to PI to Receiver FTP adapter; However, the FTP adapter cannot poll (i.e. it only has target name).
Question: What is the best method to put a dynamic name into the Sender FTP adapter?
Regards,
John_Xi

>>Question: What is the best method to put a dynamic name into the Sender FTP adapter?
I think you can do in the file sender adapter " Run operating system command before processing" where you can specify shell script which willl create the file name dynamically you want or rename the placed file using the script as per the requirement. For further help .. check this link

Recive a file with dynamic name

Hi All,
I want to receive a file with dynamic name containing date stamp to it.... eg File_20080123.txt , File_20080122.txt etc.
Can anybody suggest how to do it?
Thanks,
Atul

Atul,
Are u using mapping program in ur interface? If yes you can go ahead with ASMA + Dynamic Configurations for renaming the file.
Have u tried this option?
See the below Solution
Check the ASMA File for both sender/receiver channels.
Write the below code UDF in mapping program
//Get Input date. Don't pass anything to this UDF except the Date.
//Map the output to the root node of the target.
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container.getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File","FileName");
String fname = conf.get(key);
String ret = fname"_"Date
return "";

Changing of the physical file name of the file after archiving

Hi all,
We are in process of archiving and completed the process successfully and archived to o:\PRODSID\<filename>.
When refresh is happening from Prod to Quality the archived data will come as O:\PRODSID\<filename> and the archived files will not be accessible since quality system is not able to find the path with O:\PRODSID\<filename>.
Is there anyway i can change the physical file name of the archived files to correct path O:\QUALITYSID\<filename>, i need to change only the SID only from PRD to QUALITY.
Thanks,
Subhash.G

Hi Subash,
Do you want change the Physical File name or the Path from PROD to SID.
Path :- in the transaction called FILE, double click on Logical Path Definition , select the Logical File and double click on "Assignment on Physical Path to Logical Path" and you can change FILENAME also here
Thanks,
Sravanthi

Dynamic File name in File Adapter

Hi,
I have a requirement to pass dynamic file name in File Adapter.
Is there any way to pass a variable for the file name attribut in file adapter.
I am looking for some options apart from %yyMMddHHmmss%,%SEQ%...etc
Please suggest if any of you have information on how to put values from a variable to file name attribute in file adapter
regards
Saiju

Hi Saiju,
Yes there is.
Assign your file name to a variable, let's say 'fileName'.
Now go to your invoke activity(for the specific fileadapter) -> Property tab-> find a property call jca.file.FileName -> in the value field assign 'fileName' variable.
That's it... (assuming you are using 11g)
