Post Author: puser01
CA Forum: .NET
I have a report created in CR 9 with the File Name and Path special field on the report displayed correctly. when i try to run it on CR XI environment i get this:
C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\{4D86438D-54F5-4EEF-A0AB-05D5EB2BFF35}.rpt
How can i correct this?

Our installer names don't make it easy for the new user, or the seasoned veteran for that matter. Although both those installers have 2008 in the name, they are for entirely different products.
CRRedist2008_x86.msi
This MSI installer is used to install the runtime for Crystal Reports Basic for Visual Studio 2008 - version 10.5.
cr2008fp35.exe
This installer package is used to install the CR .NET runtime for Crystal Reports 2008 - version 12.3.
Since you've updated your development system to Crystal Reports 2008 you'll only want to use the runtimes listed on this reference page - http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/crystal-xcelsius-support?rid=/webcontent/uuid/10e38d93-7f07-2d10-beae-e739182f8ada. [original link is broken]
I suggest either of these

How do I put the file name and path into either the header or the footer?

I need to keep track of pdf documents as their names or locations sometimes change. I need to show both file name and path, preferably in the header. I would also like it to refresh automatically when I change, say, the file name, but that's not as essential as the basic function of showing the file name and path.

You will need to do this with a text field and a Javascript that executes on open.

File name and path should be passed as parameter

hi all,
i am writing a set of statements into the text file. But i have to pass the file name and also path as a user enterable parameter.
please suggest me to proceed further.
for ex: i am storing it as
output:=text_io.fopen(c:abc\def\out.txt','w');
right now i am giving like this and storing the data, but now i have to allow file name and path as user parameter.
please suggest me.
Thanks..

please suggest me.Well, how hard can it be?
You have to get those two parameters from your application into two variables, say "v_filename" and "v_pathname", and then create the file just the same way using the variables to construct the full path :
output:=text_io.fopen(v_pathname || '\' || v_filename,'w');

Separating file name and path

Hi,
I need to separate the file name and path of the file which I am uploading from my BSP appl.I am using SO_SPLIT_FILNAME_PATH ,but it is not working because this fm identifies '\' only from GUI front end.
How do I separate the file name and path in BSP ?
Regards,
Ananya

Assuming that you are using File Upload tag for file upload:
DATA: fileUpload TYPE REF TO CL_HTMLB_FILEUPLOAD.
fileUpload ?= CL_HTMLB_MANAGER=>GET_DATA(
                       request = request
                       id      = 'myUpload'
                       name    = 'fileUpload' ).
file_name      = fileUpload->file_name.
file_mime_type = fileUpload->file_content_type.
file_length    = fileUpload->file_length.
file_content   = fileUpload->file_content.
Data : filepath type string,
       filename type string,
       t1 type string.
filepath = file_name .
while filepath CA ''.
split filepath at '' into t1 filename.
endwhile.
In my sample code above, filename attribute will contain the name of the file uploaded.
Hope this solves the problem.

Question about pass file name and path to file write adapter

I need to pass file name and path to file adapter for write. I got partial answers from thread Re: Get File name using File Adapter , but seems InboundHeader_msg or outboundHeader_msg only takes file name, how do I pass file directory?
since I still have to specify file format (like xxx_%xx%.txt) in the file adapter wizard. Will this name conflict with what the name defined in InboundHeader_msg ?
Similarly, how can I pass a file name and path to a file synchread adapter?
Thanks,

Target Data File Name and Path

Hi,
I'm trying to deploy a mapping that writes data into a file, but I need to dynamically set the name and the directory where I want to write this file. The only workaround I found was manually change the pl/sql generated code and change the values in the FOPEN call with a parameter, but this is no what I really want to do. Does anyone know how to tell WB not to hardcode the file name and path?
I really appreciate you time,
thanks in advance,
Matias

Carla,
Unfortunately our releases do not go that fast...
What you could do as an intermediate solution (this is what I would do) is create your mapping and load into a staging table (this can happen in set-based mode so would be fast). In a post mapping process you manually write to the flat file by making the calls to FOPEN etc. by selecting from the staging table. The post mapping process can have an input parameter that you dynamically pass (i.e. via a mapping parameter) and set the file name.
Mark.

How to find PG.xml file name and path associated with a FUNCTION

Hi,
I am having a function:IRC_VIS_HOME_PAGE with Web HTML value as below:
OA.jsp?akRegionCode=IRC_VIS_HOME_PAGE&akRegionApplicationId=800&OAPB=IRC_BRAND
How to find PG.xml file name and path assoicated with above funtion.
Thanks,
ashok

Ashok,
Function IRC_VIS_HOME_PAGE will have 2 parameter defined for it which are OASF and OAHP where
OASF=<SelectedFunctionName> - this tells the Framework to select this function in the given "Home Page" menu context.
OAHP=<HomePageMenuName> - this is used ONLY with the OASF parameter, and it is used to establish the current menu context. It should point to a "Home Page" menu.

How to get uploaded file name and path in BefExportToDat event script

I would like to get hold of the uploaded file name and full path in the event script "BefExportToDat", as I need to extract values from particular fields. However I have not yet found a way to do this.
- The input variable "strFile" returns the .Dat file path in the Outbox, to which it is about to export the data. This is no use to me.
- The API variable RES.PstrFilename is returning nothing
I am using RES.PstrFilename in the "BefFileImport" event script in a different FDM application and it works fine, however I need to find a way to get this to work in the "BefExportToDat" event script.
Please let me know how this might be achieved.

I am looking through the API calls in FDM Workbench, but cannot see the table (tPOVPartitions) you mentioned listed. Is this the correct name? And do I just use the function listed in the object browser to run the query?
Furthermore (going back to my initial thoughts of using strFile), it appears that although the variable contains the .Dat filename and path, the actual file is non-existent when "BefExportToDat" is executed:
Error:
Error: Export failed.
Detail: File not found.
This would make sense, but it does make the variable "strFile" a little pointless since one cannot make use of the file in this particular event script. Do you please have any thoughts on this?

File adapter - How to pass File name and path at runtime

Hi gurus,
We want to use PI 7.0 as an ftp server and expose the config as a webservice where the service consumer can pass one or more file names and the path to pick them and drop them on a fixed ftp server.
So precisely, I need to be able to set the file name, target directory parameters in both sender and receiver file/ftp adapters at runtime. is this possible at all ?
I am aware of passing Adapter specific parameters from sender file adapter to receiver file adapter to create the same folder structure and file names. But my requirement is different. I hope I am clear.
Could I please get some advise on this .
Thanks & Kind Regards,
Jhansi.

Hi Jhansi,
Either you can go ahead with dynamic configuration as said by other SDN'ers. Else can go with Java Mapping:
Here is the code for Java Mapping:
import com.sap.aii.mapping.api.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.text.*;
import java.util.*;
public class GetDynamicConfiguration implements StreamTransformation {
private Map param;
public void setParameter(Map map1) {
this.param = map1;
public void execute(InputStream inputstream, OutputStream outputstream) throws StreamTransformationException {
try {
AbstractTrace trace = null;
// a) Set ouput File name
String directory=null;
trace = (AbstractTrace)param.get(StreamTransformationConstants.MAPPING_TRACE );
param.put(DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/Dynamic", StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION), "");
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) param.get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File", "FileName");
DynamicConfigurationKey key1 = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File", "Directory");
String filename =conf.get(key);
conf.put(key, filename);
trace.addInfo("File name is "+filename);
if(filename.equals("in.txt"))
directory = "/home/ftpxi/in";
if(filename.equals("test.txt"))
directory = "/home/ftpxi/in/test";
if(filename.equals("shweta27.txt"))
directory = "/home/ftpxi/in/test";
trace.addInfo("Directory name is "+directory);
conf.put(key1, directory);
// b) Just copy input file to output file
byte[] b = new bytehttp://inputstream.available();
inputstream.read(b);
outputstream.write(b);
} catch (Exception exception) {
exception.printStackTrace();

Get file name and path from adf inputFile

Hi,
I use adf's inputFile component. I need to get the file name and filePath. Does anyone knows how to do that?
Thanks in advance

You may bind the value to an UploadedFile object and get the name from this object.
You may use a valueChangeListener backin bean method or a managed bean.
Here the code i just write for something similar. Note that i'm not able to test it because of a bug in 10.1.3.1 with inputFile and web.xml parameters. I still waiting for the patch.
public void uploadedFile(ValueChangeEvent valueChangeEvent) throws IOException,
Exception {
final int BUFFER = 2048;
byte data[] = new byte[BUFFER];
int currentByte;
String fileName;
UploadedFile uploadedFile =
(UploadedFile)valueChangeEvent.getNewValue();
if (uploadedFile != null) {
String mimeType = uploadedFile.getContentType();
if (mimeType == "application/x-zip-compressed") {
// get the uploaded file as a zip file
ZipFile zipFile = new ZipFile(uploadedFile.getFilename());
// verify the zip archive contains only one entry
if (zipFile.size() != 1) {
FacesContext context =
FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
ResourceBundle errorMessage =
ResourceBundle.getBundle(context.getApplication().getMessageBundle());
Exception ZipFileContentException =
new Exception(errorMessage.getString("error.fileUpload.zipFileContent.moreThanOneEntry").replace("{0}",
String.valueOf(zipFile.size())));
throw ZipFileContentException;
// get the entries in the zip file even it is only one
Enumeration zipFileEntries = zipFile.entries();
// Process each entry
while (zipFileEntries.hasMoreElements()) {
// grab a zip file entry

(ZipEntry)zipFileEntries.nextElement();
// check the entry is not a directory

throw ZipFileContentException;

// getMagicMatch accepts Files or byte[],
// which is nice if you want to test streams
MagicMatch match = magic.getMagicMatch(destFile, true);
if (match.getMimeType() != "application/xml") {
Exception ZipFileContentException =
new Exception(JSFUtils.getStringFromBundle("error.fileUpload.isNotXMLFile").replace("{0}",
match.getMimeType()));
throw ZipFileContentException;
//TODO get the repository directory from classification-param.xml
BufferedInputStream is =
new BufferedInputStream(zipFile.getInputStream(entry));

new BufferedOutputStream(fos, BUFFER);
// read and write until last byte is encountered

dest.write(data, 0, currentByte);
