File Adapter Name Generation

Hi,
I have to send the data to outbound file adapter.
My message contains the Vendor Name.
Can I create the file name dynamically by using the vendor name which is available inside the message?
Please treat this as very urgent.
Thanks
Mohan

File Adapter: Name of file based on payload

Hi everybody!
In my scenario I need to create a file whose name is based on a field in the payload. I. e. the payload concerns production order 123456 and the resulting file should be named "123456.txt".
How can I do that?
Regards, Joerg

HI
That means your file name would be decided at run time . so u can use adapter specific mesage attributes in ur communication channel
please refer tto the same here

File adapter don't want to ignore the header row in file

Hi gurus!
In my sender communication channel I specified Document Offset = 1 to spent the first row in file(header)
But it doesn't work.
Do you have any ideas?

Under Document Offset, specify the number of lines that are to be ignored at the beginning of the document.
This enables you to skip comment lines or column names during processing. If you do not make an entry, the default value is zero lines.

But in Receiver File adapter
NameA.addHeaderLine=0
is used to have no Header line in the target structure

Change status(Active/Inactive) of file adapter by the external command

Hi, all.
Is it possible to change status(Active/Inactive) of file adapter by the external command?
Let's say, like
"$ switch_file_adapter_status.sh <File Adapter name> <active|inactive>"
or something like that.
Actually, we have the following requirement for the file adapter.
For example, we have many "file adapter to R/3" scenarios and we only want to allow data transfer between 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.(R/3 service time).
In order to achieve this requirement, one option would be to switch file adapter status between active and inactive by external command line.
And this command will be controlled by the job scheduler(like Tivoli).
Does XI(3.0 or above) have this kind of feature?
Best Regards.

Hi,
I don't think that this is possible.
But one Solution for your problem could be a job on xi who execute the Queue.
So that Adapter work the hole time and send the Message to XI Queue which process them not automatically.
And the XI Queue you can trigger with a Job like normal R/3 Jobs.
Hope that helps,
Regards,
Robin

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,

Changing the file name dynamicallly in file Adapter

Hi i want to change the file name directly from Java Mapping in the file adapter
for this i have written this code
DynamicConfiguration dynamicConfiguration = (DynamicConfiguration)map.get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
 DynamicConfigurationKey keyFile = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File","FileName");
 DynamicConfigurationKey keyDir = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File","Directory");
 dynamicConfiguration.put(keyFile,fileName);
 dynamicConfiguration.put(keyDir,outputpath);
but it gives a null pointer exception at dynamicConfiguration.put(keyFile,fileName);
please suggest.
regards
Nilesh Taunk.

Hi Nilesh,
If your requirement is to create , the file name dynamically for your receiver file adapter, you can do so using your FILE ADAPTER CONFIGURATION itself, and need not go for any JAVA Mappping / Java Code at all.
The dynamic filename generation concept is as follows.
In your filename field in the receiver file adapter, 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 read the contents under variable substitution and it will help you understand the concepts better.
Also, in your FILE Adapter under the option FILE CREATION MODE, you have options like,
1.Add Counter,
2. Append
3. Create
4. Add Time Stamp
If you have any clarifications on this approach, do get back.

File Adapter - Create File Name from Payload

Hello,
I have a scenario where I'm sending deductions to external vendors (wage types) following a payroll run, via XI. Part of the message payload includes a data element 'Vendor Name' (e.g. Zurich Insurance). When the XI File Adapter creates the file, I want to create the files as /usr/file/xi/<Vendor Name>.csv
How to I pick up the 'Vendor Name' from the message payload and pass this into the "File Name:" field of the "File Access Parameters in the File Adapter communication channel configured?

Email attachment name in sender mail adapter to the receiver file adapter

HI ,
Ths is regarding email to file scenario. I am trying to create file (in rceiver file adapter) with the same name as the email attachment that i read from mail sender adapter. I want ro use adapter module for this. I could find from blogs that there is module - GetAttachmentName - available that i can use for this in sender mail adapter.
Can you please let me know what whetehr i neeed to mention any module key and parameters for this.
I assume , i need to do following steps :Please confirm.
1. i can use this module - after payload swap module and before standard mail adapter module in sender mail adapter
2. select ASMA option in advanced tab in sender mail adapter
3. In receiver file adapter select ASMA option in advanced tab in sender mail adapter
4. Also select file name option in ASMA in sender mail adapter
Thanks,
Vamsi

Hi Vamsi,
your scenario is also described here: Re: sender mail adapter - attachment name
If you use the Module getAttachmentName, which is described here,
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/XI/AdapterModulePI7.0GetAttachmentName
your scenario should work as you described it.
You just need to make sure that the Attachment Name that you read in the first place, is mapped to the Filename Attribute of the
Fileadapter (http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File/FileName).

Daniel

Need to get the Mail attachment name as it is to the receiver file adapter

I am doing a Mail to File scenario. I need to get the attachment from the mail and store it on the file server. I am using the PayloadSwap bean in the sender mail adapter. My requirement is to carry forward the attachement name as it is to the receiver file adapter side and store the file with the same name.
Did any one try doing this? I was looking at developing an adapter module but got struck as I could not find whether the attachement name is stored in the XI payload after it has got swapped using the swap bean.
Any help would be appreciated.
VJ

Oops pressed the send key. Take two.
This is becoming a damn nightmare. When I run the adapter I am getting ModuleExceptions. Can you pass your eyes over these Java config settings to see what I am doing wrong.

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)

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.

How can i create a dynamic filename? i searched the forum, but i could not get the correct answer,
Please help me out.

Srinivas

Hi Srinivas,
> My Scenario is Proxy to File.

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.

Reciever File Adapter - Temp File Name Scheme using Variable Substitution

How can I create a temporary file that uses variable substitution?
We are having a problem with files merging when we write files using the "Use Temporary File" setting on the FIle Adapter. So two independent files are merging into a single file. We are not using the "Append" setting.
We would like to use a Temp File Name Scheme that would append the message id onto the temporary file name.
Using variable substitution we created a msgid variable. When added to the temporary file name using %msgid% the temporary file name is created with %msgid% in the name instead of the actual message id. We put the variable into the "File Name Scheme" as well and the end completed file used the message id in the name.
Any Ideas?
Thanks,
Matt

HI Matthew,
Why are you adding the message id into the temporary file??
I understand that you want the output of the filename to contain message id .. and hence you are using variable substitution for the same.
Temporary file name will anyways get overwritten by the actual file name (here the actual filename will be using variable substituion).
So i suggest to achieve your scenario you can add any name in the temporary file and maintain the desired filename you require as output in the variable subsititution.
Temporary File Name option actually acts as a lock - unlock mechanism from PI side while the file is getting written to the file server so that while PI is writting the file no third party application batch program picks it up.
I hope this helps.
Cheers
Dhwani
