Dynamic naming of receiver file adapter

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 ,

>>as file naming convention sequence to be incremented for every 1 hour.
Please elaborate this point. I'm again seeing same the question from your side.
From Variable Substitution you can access only ASMA and can refer the payload element. But in the requirement is something else the you should have to go for Dynamic Configuration in Mapping program.
Thanks

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

Output CSV File Naming Convention - Receiver File Adapter

Dear SAP experts,
I need help regarding my scenario.
My scenario is this, Customer will send EDI message to XI. XI will then translate the message and convert it into XML.. After, a Receiver File Adapter will receive the XML then convert it into .csv file.
I've already configured the Receiver File Adapter to convert the XML into .csv file.
But, my problem now is how will I configure to have my output .csv file has a File Naming Convention.
The output .csv file must be "CustomerName_YearMonthDate".
From the EDI message, there is indicated Sender GLN in which, each customer has its own Sender GLN.
E.g., Globus --> 200, Karstadt --> 300, Metro --> 400.
How will I configure so that I can have an output .csv file of,
If Globus sends the EDI message, the output .csv file is Globus_20080304.csv.
If Karstadt, Karstadt_20080304.csv.
If Metro, Metro_20080304.csv.
Kindly advise for a clear and complete solution.
Thank you very much for your usual support.
Fred

Hi Nisar,
My target message (XML) in the mapping is this,
- <ns0:CSV>
    - <SLI>
           <PERIO> </PERIO>
           <ILN> </ILN?
           <EAN> </EAN>
perio, iln, and ean was rooted on SLI field. and the CSV is the rootnode of the target message.
I have created a UDF on the message mapping to accomodate the output customer name, here is the codes:
String fname="";
if(GLN.equals("23456"))
fname ="Globus" +dat;
else if(GLN.equals("5678"))
fname ="Karstadt"+dat;
else if(GLN.equals("6789"))
fname ="Metro"+dat;
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container
    .getTransformationParameters()
    .get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create(
    "http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File",
    "FileName");
    conf.put(key,fname );
E.g.,
Globus --> 23456 (Sender GLN)
Karstadt --> 5678 (Sender GLN)
Metro --> 6789 (Sender GLN)
This UDF i've made in the Message Mapping was mapped in the root node CSV.
Is this UDF correct?
Then on the File Receiver Configurations, here are the configs,
Transport Protocol: File System (NFS)
Message Protocol: File Content Conversion
Adapter Engine: Integration Server
File Access Parameters
Target Directory: /var/opt/gsss/sample/csv
File Name Scheme: .csv
Processing Parameters
File Construction Mode: Create
- Overwrite Existing File
Write Mode: Directly
File Type: Text
Variable Substitution --> ???
Adapter Specific Message Attributes
- Use Adapter-Specific Message Attributes
- Fail if Adapter-Specific Message Attributes Missing
- File Name
Run Operating System Command After Message Processing
Command Line: chmod 664%F
Content Conversion Parameters
Recordset Structure: SLI
SLI.addHeaderLine: 3
SLI.headerLine: PERIO;ILN;EAN
SLI.fieldSeparator: ;
SLI.endSeparator: 'nl'
Adapter Status:

Kindly advise if my configs are correct.
Thank you very much!

Dynamic File name in Receiver File adapter

Hi,
My Scenario is Proxy to File.
I must create filename dynamically in the receiver file adapter by taking the sales order number and divison from the source.
How can i create a dynamic filename? i searched the forum, but i could not get the correct answer,
Please help me out.
Regards
Srinivas

Hi Srinivas,
> My Scenario is Proxy to File.
> I must create filename dynamically in the receiver file adapter by taking the sales order number and divison from the source.
public String targetFileName(String Sono, String Div, Container container) throws StreamTransformationException
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration)container.getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File","FileName");
String MyFileName = sono + div + "<filename>"+".xml";
conf.put(key, MyFileName);
return MyFileName;
File name you can format according to your requirement.
And one more thing for this you have to specify the ASMA properties. For this check the below link step-1 and step-2.

Dynamic File Name for Receiver File Adapter

Hi All,
How can we use dynamic name for Receiver file adapter?
Can anyone help.
Thanks in Advance
Chemmanz

Hi Chemmanz,
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,

Error dynamic File Name in Receiver File Adapter

Hi all,
Dynamic file name for Receiver file Adapter Problem
my multi mapping look like this in design mode
messages
     message1
          SD01_E
               FileName
               row
     message2
          SD02_E
               FileName

by processing the xml look like this:
<ns2:SD01_E xmlns:ns2="urn:lsv.de/SAP/XXX">
<FileName>L40SA939.xiConstant</FileName>
- <row>
or
<ns2:SD02_E xmlns:ns2="urn:lsv.de/SAP/XXX">
<FileName>L40SA939.xiConstant</FileName>
- <row>
in file receivere adapter i have try this but it dos not work
payload:SD01_E,1,FileName,1
Error:com.sap.engine.lib.xml.parser.ParserException: XMLParser: No data allowed here: (hex) 0(:main:, row:1, col:0)
is there any way to have access to Filename in different root elements??

Hi Ralf,
i think, you need for each XML msg (each different root element) a new adapter -> a new IF determination, new rec agreement and a new channel.

Receiver File Adapter - Dynamic FTP Server Address

Hi, I would like to pass the FTP Server address to the Receiver File Adapter as an parameter. Is this possible and if so what Name Space / Parametr Names add to the Product to define these values.

Hi Andre,
If you have your server as a part of your payload, thendynamic file server generation concept can be done is as follows.
In your server name 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.

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
Edited by: gopalkrishna baliga on May 3, 2011 1:10 PM

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.

Dynamic file name (Date) in Receiver File Adapter

Hi,
can any one tell me how to create outbound file name with receiver file adapter in format like Name_22-08-2006.dat. I need from a current Date in the name of the message (without any other information). In message payload I dont have that date. Is it possible to use variable from user defined function in message mapping for that name?
Regards,
Naycho

Naycho,
that's exactly what I've managed to perform using DynamicConfiguration. Check these links:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/43/03612cdecc6e76e10000000a422035/frameset.htm

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/43/03fe1bdc7821ade10000000a1553f6/frameset.htm
Particularly, I've created a Java API for using setDirectory and setFileName methods through mappings. I use XSLT with java enhancement because it's a million times easier to parse and get node values with XSL than pure java.
I'm writing a blog on the subject, if you don't resolve the problem until it's out, let me know.

Sender_interface_name in Variable Substitution in Receiver File Adapter CC

Hi,
as per this page : http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/bc/bb79d6061007419a081e58cbeaaf28/frameset.htm
it says:
Variable Substitution (Target Directory/File Name Scheme)
If you set the Enable indicator, you can enter variables for the Target Directory and File Name Scheme. Enter the names of the variables and references in the table.
●      Enter each variable that you reference in the Target Directory and File Name Scheme fields without the surrounding percentage sign under Name of Variables in the table.
The variables can refer to attributes of the message header or elements of the message payload.
○       If the variables are to refer to an attribute of the message header, add the prefix message: to the name of the variable under Reference. You can specify the following attributes of the message header:
sender_party, sender_service, receiver_party, receiver_service, interface_name, interface_namespace, message_id, message_id_hex
Can we not access sender_interface_name and sender_interface_namespace are not mentioned in above list of variables.
Is it not possible to access sender_interface_name or sender_interface_namespace as variable substitute parameters from within Receiver File Adapter Communication channel.
thanks.

Yes, i can hardcode, thats not a bad idea, i need to create then 3 different Reciever File Communication Channel objects, as I am dealing with 3 scenarios for which sender system and sender interface is different.

yes in this link you provided i can see..
INTERFACE     Interface
INTERFACE_NAMESPACE     InterfaceNamespace
SENDER_SERVICE     SenderService
RECEIVER_SERVICE ReceiverService
RECEIVER_NAME     ReceiverName
RECEIVER_NAMESPACE     ReceiverNamespace
it seems both INTERFACE (,INTERFACE_NAMESPACE) and RECEIVER_NAME(,RECEIVER_NAMESPACE) are present, may be one is for sender, and another is for receiver.. may be if i use dynamic configuration, possibly my issue would be addressed.. correct me if i am wrong.
thanks.

Doubt om Dynamic Configuration of receiver file

Hello ,
for Acheiving the Dynamic configuration of receiver file name ,adapter specific message attribute is used...But how to suppress the name of file in the content of the Received file...
Is my question correct..do we get the file name in content of the receiver file,while using the Adapter specifc message attribute.
And another question ,in the Variable substitution ...do we get the above problem,then how to tackle the situation to suprress the file name in the payload of receiver file.

HI,
You can handle the dynamic file name via Dynamic configuration or with the help of Variable Substitution.
Please refer
have a look
Dynamic File Name using XI 3.0 SP12 Part - I --> Dynamic File Name using XI 3.0 SP12 Part u2013 I
Dynamic file name(XSLT Mapping with Java Enhancement) using XI 3.0 SP12 Part -II --> Dynamic file name(XSLT Mapping with Java Enhancement) using XI 3.0 SP12 Part -II
With Variable Substituion, you may need to supress the filename

XI Receiver file adapter : Dyanmic File PATH

Hi,
Appreciate if someone could help me on the issue below:
I have a receiver File adapter with a dynamic target directory as per below:
Target directory: /test/YYYY/MM/DD
the value for YYYY (Year) , MM (Month) and DD (Date) will be the date when the file being transfered from the sender.
Appreciate if someone could help me to achieve this. I know we can use the variable substitution however it doesn't allow us to set a systems field such as sy-datum.
Cheers,
ZAB

Hi,
Populate this value in your payload , and then use Dynamic File Name concept of File Adapter.
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.
