File name of emailed report

When a report is emailed (destype=mail and other des% !!) it always send the attachment as 'report.pdf' (if desformat=pdf).
IS THERE A WAY TO SET THIS ATTACHMENT FILE NAME?

Hi Ajay,
Try this. I assumed there would always be a { } in your filename. I have it checking for them before parsing.
Local NumberVar x := Len(Filename) - Len(Replace(Filename, "\", ""));
Local StringVar myFilename;
myFilename := SPLIT(Filename, "\") [x + 1];
If InStr (myFilename, "{") <> 0 Then
myFilename := myFilename [1 to InStr (myFilename, "{") - 2];
If InStr (myFilename, "}") <> 0 Then
myFilename := myFilename [InStr (myFilename, "}") to Length (myFilename)];

Hello,
Did you try the builtin SRW.GET_REPORT_NAME built-in function ?
Example
function AfterPForm return boolean is
my_var varchar2(80);
BEGIN
SRW.GET_REPORT_NAME(my_var);
SRW.MESSAGE(0,'Report Filename = '||my_var);
RETURN (TRUE);
END;

How to auto save output with date added to file name, and email the results?

Hi,
We found a script to capture disk space usage, that automatically places the results into an Excel file. We would like the script to autosave this file to a specific directroy with the date ran as part of teh file name. We would then like these results to
be emailed to us if possible. (also if possible to highlight cell in red that is 5% OR less available disk space would be great)
Here is what we have:
$erroractionpreference = “SilentlyContinue”
$a = New-Object -comobject Excel.Application
$a.visible = $True
$b = $a.Workbooks.Add()
$c = $b.Worksheets.Item(1)
$c.Cells.Item(1,1) = “Machine Name”
$c.Cells.Item(1,2) = “Drive”
$c.Cells.Item(1,3) = “Total size (GB)”
$c.Cells.Item(1,4) = “Free Space (GB)”
$c.Cells.Item(1,5) = “Free Space (%)”
$c.cells.item(1,6) = "Name "
$d = $c.UsedRange
$d.Interior.ColorIndex = 19
$d.Font.ColorIndex = 11
$d.Font.Bold = $True
$d.EntireColumn.AutoFit()
$intRow = 2
$colComputers = get-content "C:\Servers.txt"
foreach ($strComputer in $colComputers)
$colDisks = get-wmiobject Win32_LogicalDisk -computername $strComputer -Filter “DriveType = 3"
foreach ($objdisk in $colDisks)
$c.Cells.Item($intRow, 1) = $strComputer.ToUpper()
$c.Cells.Item($intRow, 2) = $objDisk.DeviceID
$c.Cells.Item($intRow, 3) = “{0:N0}” -f ($objDisk.Size/1GB)
$c.Cells.Item($intRow, 4) = “{0:N0}” -f ($objDisk.FreeSpace/1GB)
$c.Cells.Item($intRow, 5) = “{0:P0}” -f ([double]$objDisk.FreeSpace/[double]$objDisk.Size)
$c.cells.item($introw, 6) = $objdisk.volumename
$intRow = $intRow + 1
$d.EntireColumn.AutoFit()

Append date to exporting file name in SQL reporting service

When exporting a report to another format, say excel,PDF; the file name is always set to the report name. Our client has a requirement where whenever a user exports a report to pdf, the timestamp of when the data of the report was made should be appended in the filename. Is there a way to do this in Reporting Services as well as report builder?
example : Report name : Testreport
Exported file should be : Testreport-November-22-20076.pdf
please help me in this
Thanks

Hi,
I know it's been while since this question was posted. I am replying so that it'll be useful for other people when they come across this same situation.
If you have access to SQL Server Agent to create jobs then this idea will be helpful -
1. Connect to your Report Server from SSMS.
2. Note the ItemID for your report by executing this query
select *
from ReportServer..Catalog
where Path like '%NameofyourReport%'
3. Create a job in here with the name say "AppendDatetoxyzreport" and add a step in it with the code
UPDATE [Catalog]
SET [Path] = '/PathofyourrerportfromReportServer/ReportName_' + CONVERT(VARCHAR(8), GETDATE(), 112),
[Name] = '/ReportName_' + CONVERT(VARCHAR(8), GETDATE(), 112)
WHERE ItemID ='<ItemID>'
4. Create another job with a name like "RemoveDatexyzreport" and add a step in it with the code
UPDATE [Catalog]
SET [Path] = 'PathofyoureportinReportserver/ReportName',
[Name] = 'ReportName''
WHERE ItemID = '<ItemID>'
5. Now set your AppendDatetoxyzreport job schedule to execute first, then the Report's subscription and then the RemoveDatexyzreport.
By doing this the first job changes the name to include present date, then you get you report and the next job sets it back to its previous name.

Setting up the File Name of email Attachment from Received File Name

Hello All,
I have to send the Received File in attachment to an Email if there is any exception. Here I can attach the file, but I cannot set the file name of attachment as the Received File Name. Is there anyway of doing this without using custom pipeline component.
Here I am using the Orchestration and SMTP Adapter.Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

It might work if you use a custom pipeline component on your send port and in the Execute method populate the MIME.FileName property of the body part.
Something like:
public IBaseMessage Execute(IPipelineContext pc, IBaseMessage inmsg)
string filename = inmsg.Context.Read("ReceivedFileName", "http://schemas.microsoft.com/BizTalk/2003/file-properties");
inmsg.BodyPart.PartProperties.Write( "FileName", "http://schemas.microsoft.com/BizTalk/2003/mime-properties", "filename);
return inmsg;
You can take reference from similar post here
SMTP - Setting attachment filename
Anther good article with MIME is here
Setting attachment filename with the SMTP Adapter
For MIME case your SMTP message construct statement would be like below
multipartMessage.MessagePart_1= InMSG;
multipartMessage.MessagePart_2="This is message part2 as a string";
multipartMessage(SMTP.Subject) ="Email From Dynamic Port";
multipartMessage(SMTP.From) ="[email protected]";
multipartMessage(SMTP.SMTPHost) ="yoursmypserver.com";
multipartMessage.MessagePart_2(MIME.FileName) = "Attachment_Name";
multipartMessage(SMTP.SMTPAuthenticate) =0;
Thanks

Javascript code for setting output file name of emailed form in Livecycle

I was given a task of creating a new form with livecycle. I have no knowledge of javascripting so I am struggling with one of the things I am trying to get this form to do. The overview of this form is people around my company fill out this form then hit a button to email the completed form to me. I was able to accomplish part of this task by using the following code within an up mouse event script on a button.
oDoc = event.target;
oDoc.mailDoc({
cTo: ********@******.com,
cSubject: "IB Update Request - Instance" + IBInstance.rawValue,
This takes the form and emails it to me with the data from the field called "IBinstance" in the subject line which is what I want but the file name attached to the email is garbage. presently is says "newupdateform.pdf - Adobe Acrobat Pro.pdf"
What I would like is some javascript code that I can take the data from the field called "IBinstance" and use it as the name of the file being sent in. Is there a simple code that i can put in this event to allow me to do this?
Thank you

Hi Joerg,
I have been trying to solve this as well, but gave up. I also could not get the workaround you found to work with EFM files.
If you do find a solution, please update your message to share?

Individual report path with defined file name from the report settings in Testsand 2012

Hi,
I have following task:
I want to test stand 2012 in each sequence to change the path of the report file. But the naming of the file is to be maintained as these settings can be made from TestStand into the report (DisplayName + _Report_ [<FileDate>] [<FileTime>] <unique>. <File Extension). I can not find now, however, the / callback parameter on which the components are assembled path and file in TestStand.
While I can read about the callback "GetReportFilePath" the path and file name, and with the expression: Parameters.ReportFilePath = "c: \ \ electro \ \ SHARE \ \ test protocols \ \ Test Logs \ \" change the path, but the file name will no longer be formed from the settings of TestStand.
I have the suspicion that I'm just not accreting at the right place. Can someone please give me a hint?
greeting Michael
Greetings Michael

Retrieve file name of email attachment

Hi,
it's getting more and more absurd about the fact that it is not possible to get the file name of an email attachment. It's not possible by writing a module (getName(), getContentType() nor getDescription() doesn't work) or by accessing mailadapter specific message attributes.
I mean it's a basic requirement. Why is it so diffcult to implement it???

Symbol at end of file name prevents email recipient from opening PDF

The special symbol looks like: ˥ However, there is a tiny little arrow that is on the end of the horizontal part that points left. It is located immediately after the file name, but before the .extension. I have been sending out resumes and the ones that appear with this symbol in the shadow box (the file name box that appears if you hover over the icon once it has been attached via email) appear as a blank (but gray) PDF once it is opened by the recipient.
What is this and how do I stop it?
Thanks

Please let me know the following details:
1. Which version of Adobe Reader are you using (You can check the same from Help > About Adobe Reader)
2. Which OS are you using?
3. How exactly are you attaching the PDFs to the emails? Are you using the Attach to Email functionality from within Reader? Or are you attaching them by yourself?

How to automatically add file name to email subject line

I just upgraded from Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 to Adobe Acrobat XI Pro.
Previously, when I sent a form via email in outlook, the subject line of the email automatically filled the file name. With this new version, this no longer happens.
Is there a setting that allows me to automatically fill the subject line of the pdf with the file name (or some way for me to set the subject line automaticallly)? Most of my emailed pdf forms go to the same person with the same subject line.
Thank you for your consideration!

Unfortunately Adobe lacks the ability to control and access the email attachment file names.
You can set a standard submit button url action to a mailto command string with a mailto:you[at]yourdomain.com&subject=Your+Custom+Subject+Here
But you won't be able to know what the file name is to insert it into the subject.
To have full control over the output, I suggest you submit the data or whole PDF to a server-side script, such as PHP or ASP.net.
A script can can inject a field values into the custom SMTP email body, subject, recipient lists and attachment file name by parsing the submission or passing values via a Querystring.
Visit pdfemail.net for online examples and more information on server-side scripting.

Dynamic Remote File Name for delivering report via FTP

My requirement is to append the 'ID' which is the identifier of the report with the template name in the Remote Filename section.

I tried appending date(%m%d%y) and it worked for me, but how can I append a parameter?
Is it possible in stand alone BI Publisher 10.1.3.4?
Pls let me knw if someone has implemented this. Would really Appreciate.

To display the list of File Name in a report region from a Directory

Hello All,
Can any one guide me in displaying the list of file name from a file system directory in a report region with link?
On click of the link it should display the open/save dialog box.
I will appreciate the early solution. (It is bit urgent)
Thanks,
Shyam

A quick, "dirty solution would be to have a cron job (I am assuming you are on a UNIX-based system) that populates a file periodically with the names of files in a directory/directories. Then have an external table that points to that file. You can then create an Apex report that lists the contents of the external table.
1) crontab job:
ls -1 /source_dir/* > /destination_dir/file.list
2) create external table:
CREATE DIRECTORY filedir AS ' destination_dir ';
GRANT READ ON DIRECTORY xfer_files TO public;
CREATE TABLE file_list_ext (file_names VARHCAR2(100))
ORGANIZATION EXTERNAL
TYPE oracle_loader
DEFAULT DIRECTORY files_dir
ACCESS PARAMETERS
records delimited by newline
fields terminated by ','
missing field values are null
(file_name)
LOCATION ('file.list')
REJECT LIMIT UNLIMITED;
3) create APEX report on table: file_list_ext
Hope this helps.

Changing file name produced by Reports

Does anyone know where you can change the default file name generated when you specify an output format of Excel for a Portal Report.
The default I am getting is schema.reportname.show which is not .xls as I expected.

Jenny,
The solution is to have a filename something.xls. i.e the url is http://myserver/pls/portal30/something.xls
you can create a procedure called xls in
the package generated by your report. The
procedure doesn't do much, it just does
a redirect to the report (w/p_format_out = EXCEL').
that should do the trick. The problem w/this
approach is that now you have a maintenance burden
