File name Variable

Hi,
I am trying to pass file name as parameter for a procedure which will FTP file to unix location , When i tried the procedure by hard coding the file name it worked fine and FTP was done. Then I tried to create a filename variable thinking i can re use same procedure as i want to ftp multiple files or different file for different interfaces.
I created one variable choosen Data type as Alphanumaric , and default value as null.
then i used the variable in procedure and i get the error below. ( I gave file name as file_xyz_123.csv)
6550 : 65000 : java.sql.SQLException: ORA-06550: line 1, column 171:

You can modify the previous parameter only where you hard coded value, to change the resource name with a variable.
It will automatically consider variable value which is passed during runtime.

Receiver File Name Variable Substitution :payload: Fatal Error

Hi all
 i have a scenario of idoc to file.., i need to create a dynamic file name taking 1 field variable from the payload. The idoc -xml structure in XI is :
 <INVOICE03>
 <IDOC BEGIN="1">
 <EDI_DC40 SEGMENT="1">

 <INVOICE03>
i need to pick th value of field2 , for the target file name..
In variable substitution i had given var = INVOICE03,1,IDOC,1,E1EDL40,1,E1EDL20,1,VBELN,1

STILL I AM GETTING THE ERROR :varsubst.VariableDataSourceException: Caught SAXException while parsing XML payload: Fatal Error: com.sap.engine.lib.xml.parser.ParserException: XMLParser: No data allowed here: (hex) .
NOTE : my target variable is getting populated properly.
i tried a lot of combinations in REFERENCE VARIABLE , even giving ( payload: xxx)
but for all changes it is giving the same error....

Passing file name variable to the save as dialog

Hi:
I have an event listener that checks if the user has selected the file/"save as" menu and brings up another dialog window asking for some additional information about the client and job. I would like to pass a variable from this custom dialog to the file name field in the standard Save As dialog.
Anybody have an idea how I can do this?
I am using inDesign3 on Windows XP. I am using VB for the scripting.
thanks!!
Dan

Hi: thanks for looking at it.
Actually, I am not calling the save as in my script, the user is clicking on Save As and the event listener I have in the start up folder is picking that up. The event listener calls up a script that asks users to fill in a couple of fields about the specific job and once they do that and click ok, the default inDesign "save as" dialog is brought up. So that is my question -- how to pass the information from my dialog to the standard "save as" dialog (as the file name of the file).
The event listener is of the beforeInvoke on the Save As... menu.
Any idea?
thanks!!
Dan

The File name property is not valid. The file name is a device or contains invalid characters

I have an SSIS task that has run successfully for years. They just moved the dtsx to a new server and now it is failing.
Issue:
The task has a data flow that writes a raw file destination. It then has a subsequent data flow that reads the raw file destination.
The path and name of the raw file is passed to each of the data flows via the same variable.
The raw file resides in a folder on the server in the same path that the dtsx resides in.
The task fails with the "The File name property is not valid. The file name is a device or contains invalid characters" error when trying to access the raw file.
What we have done to troubleshoot:
1. I ran the task successfully on my local machine so it is definitely a server issue.
2. The first thing we were seeing was that it failed trying to write to the raw file. The task is set to "Create Always".
3. We saw that the dba's copied over the entire directory structure from the old server which included a previously created raw file, so we deleted the raw file.
4. We reran the task and it successfully wrote a new raw file but then failed on reading the raw file with the same error as above.
5. We reran the task AGAIN and this time it failed trying to write the raw file throwing the same error as above.
6. The dba looked at the directory and the account that performs the task has full control.
7. The dba looked at the raw file that was created and verified that the account that performs the task has full control of the file and that it is the owner of the file.
Summary:
The task fails when trying to access the file EXCEPT when the file does not exist. In that situation it can write the file but subsequently fails in accessing it again.

Hi Whalensdad,
Based on my research, the issue can be caused by the following reasons:
There are some invalid characters in the File name at package runtime. In this scenario, just as Russ said, could you please post the value that is in the File name variable? Also use a Script Task with Messagebox.show to show the variable values at runtime.
May be it changes to others at run time.
The account runs the package not having access to all the folders in the path. Since you are moving the dtsx file from one server to the current server, do you also move the raw file to the same folder in the current server? Does the user runs the package
have access to all the folders in the path? To solve this, please ensure that the user has access to all folders and the raw file in the path on the current server.
Thanks,
Katherine Xiong

Please see the response above. I can't use a message box on a server so I logged the values to the database. The resource account has full control to the folder. I haven't been able to get the DBA to check the SQL Agents permissions, but I was always under
the impression that if you use "Run As" on the task, it will not use the SQL Agent but the account you identify it to "Run As". The "Run As" account has full control on the folder and file.

Receiver File Adapter:Variable substitution :FATAL ERROR

HI all
as per the previous thread :
Receiver File Name Variable Substitution :payload: Fatal Error
in our idoc to file sceanrio, we are using simple graphical mapping.
for dynamic file name , variable field is at Target message type,So on using Variable substitution, again the error is same :
SAXException while parsing XML payload: Fatal Error: com.sap.engine.lib.xml.parser.ParserException: XMLParser: No data allowed here: (hex) .
Our XI Component version : 2004
WAS 6.4 SP 15
Thanks

Ashutosh,
There is nothing to do with your mapping programs. Its the mistake in ur reciever file adapter configuration for variable substitution.I asked u whether u changed message mapping in order to implement the UDF!!
Did u tried checking the audit log. Ok just to see where u are going wrong, instead of using Payload :... in Variable substitution use Message:..... and give some interface name so that to check whether the file is created with Interface name.
Juz give a try!!!
Best regards
raj.

Add File Name to Output

Is it possbile to add the file name variable to topics after they are created without having to manually insert the variable?
Upon inserting the variable, format is thus:
<variable name=file x-format=default x-value=0001.htm>0001.htm</variable>
The x-value and text are plugged in automagically upon insertion.
Is there a simple variable code that will pulls these values in?
My ultimate need is to be able to print topics and include the file name. I could use Title just as well.
A report would work, if the report included the topic text.

OK, got it. The file name iws not updated until the file is closed and opened.
I will add the variableto the topics in question.

Variable subsitution for target file names

Hi All,
I am using variable subsitution for dynamic file names. I am using the multimapping for multiple files in the target.So i coluld not able to use the dynamic configuration for file names. Now i want to replace all the spaces in the filename to underscore.
For example
My payload filed value "file name in the target file".
Now my filename "file_name_in_the_target_file".
How to achieve this using Variable subsitution.
Regards,
Ramalakshmi.G

Use replaceString Function.
file name
Constant (" ") --> replaceString -------> TargetField
Constant ("_")

Variable substitution not working for dynamic file name in Receiver File CC

Hi Experts,
I am doing the scenario of Proxy sender to File receiver and my purpose is to Create the text file
as per the filename available in Source Message payload.
I am using the Variable Substitution method for this as shown below.
Source Message Structure:-
 <Row> -
having Cocurence 1.1
 <Filename> -
having Cocurence 1.1
 <Item> -
having Cocurence 1.Unbounded
 <Field1>
 <field2>
 <Item>
 <Item>
 <Field1>
 <field2>
 <Item>
 <Row>
Target structure is same as the source structure and i have mapped the Filename field of the Source
with the Target structure Filename.
In ID the following is the File receiver CC Configuration.
File Name Scheme:- %Dyn_filename%
In Advance tab, I have selected the Enable option and added one row as Variable name %Dyn_filename%
and Reference as payload:Row,1,Filename,1
In testing I am getting the Error as 'variable Dyn_filename is not found in Message payload'.
Please suggest me.
Regards,
Jagesh

Hi Pooja,
Hi Pooja,
Thanks for your valuable reply..
I tried with the same. but still Filename is appearing in Output file.Giving you some details regarding my Receiver File Configuration settings.

 <Filename_test>----
1.1 occurence
 <ITEM>----
1.unbounded occurence
 <Field1>
 <Field2>
 <ITEM>
 <ITEM>
 <Field1>
 <Field2>
 <ITEM>
 <Row>
 <MT_Target_Struct>
Recordset structure:- Row,Filename_test,ITEM
Row.fieldSeparator----
>'nl'
Filename_test.fieldFixedLengths----
>0 (Zero)
Filename_test.fixedLengthTooShortHandling----
>Cut
ITEM.fieldSeparator----
>,
ITEM.endSeparator----
>'nl'
I want only ITEM node to be written in the output file.
Please suggest.

How can I extract a file name / path from a local path variable in TestStand?

I have local TestStand string variable, call it 'locals.path', that contains a path to a file including the file name (c:\inputs\input.txt). I need to be able to split up the path (c:\input) and the file name (input.txt) and save them into 2 local variables. What is the best way to do this?
After reading through some of the other forums, it looks like there are some built-in functions that can accomplish this, but I am unable to find how to use them anywhere on the NI web site. One forum said to use the File I/O>Strip Path.file function. How is this called? Is this function in a DLL?
I know that there are a number of DLLs that are installed with TestStand into the c:\windows\system32 directory. One forum made note of CVI_OpenFile / CVI_ReadFIle functions in the cvirt.dll that I used to solve a problem that I had in the past. The problem is that I had no idea that that these functions even existed and would have never known unless a similar question had been posted previously. Is there some place that these DLL function interfaces are defined or documented? Is there a function that can extract the file name out of a string for me?
Thanks,
Mike

Hi,
There sound like functions in say LabVIEW or CVI.
I have attached a small example which may help. (I have not allowed for any error trapping, if say you dont find the file and cancel)

Get the file name into a Odi variable

Hi,
I need to get the file name into odi variable like ..A/ETC/file.txt
For eg.the filename file.txt should get store in a variable.
Then i want to compare the file name stored in the variable with some other value.
Please suggest.
Thanks.

in package,
declare the variable, then evaluate it with another variable, generally using # syntax
if the variable is date type, suggest to use : syntax, because # will treat the variable value as text value
in loadplan
use case when syntax,

Used variable substitution to substiture the field 'date' in file name

Hi gurus
I have used variable substitution to substiture the field 'date' (dd/MM/yyyy/hh/mm/ss) in the file name so when empty payload (a valid xml ) is generated by Message mapping then the communication channel is failing by showing the following error
File processing failed with com.sap.aii.adapter.file.configuration.DynamicConfigurationException: Error during
variable substitution: com.sap.aii.adapter.file.varsubst.VariableDataSourceException: The following variable was not found in the message payload
: date
As of now the business is not getting effected as the business scenarion needs only customer master data at the reciever side But when ever there is no custmer master data in the sourse side the message mapping is generating an empty payload and the communication channel is failing ( so it is an internal issue and is there any way which could solve the both (ie the business must not get effected and as well the communication channel must not fail)
any coments on this will be higly apreciated
thanks and regards
sandeep

Hi Sandeep -
Yes If you use the Variable substitution from the payload , that perticular field has to be generated in the target structure.
To handle this You can do the following:
Sourcefield --->exists -> IfThenElse-->TargetField
Where     SourceField>exists(node function)-> If
               SourceField -
>Then
               CurrentDate(Date Function)----->Else
Hope this will help !!

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.

Variables to pass the input CSV file names

Hi,
I have created an interface source from 2 different CSV files.
Do I need to generate 2 different scenarios or one scenario with variable to pass 2 file names one after the other
2 CSVs are of same type
Thanks for the help

Step1. Create an Interface and load first file and test if that is working fine.
Step 2. Change the resource Name in File to Variable
Step 3. Set variable pass the file 1 and call interface 1 and set variable again with File 2 and call Interface and run the package.
This way you can use the same interface to load file with same structure.
In case you need to carry this same logic with multiple file then
Declare variable and call interface and package and create scenario. Now trigger the scenario and pass the file name.

RH10 variable and build tag source file names

I'm using RH10 and outputting to WebHelp. My company requires that I archive project source files to our CVS via Eclipse. I am not using RoboSource_Control and must use the company's development resources for archiving.
Since archiving the initial project, I have been uploading only source files with modified dates.
However, I have discovered that the files I thought were storing user variables and build tags are not the correct files to archive. Since I am uploading all files with a newer date and that's not working, I need to know the user variable source file name and the build tag source file name that stores the currently defined variables and build tags.
I have already tried the WebHelp forum and was directed to this forum to pose the question because I'm looking for source file information instead of output file information.
Thanks for your help!

Yes, Eclipse does work that way. However, we do not use our development directory as the local Eclipse repository. I need to move changed files to the local repository (stores all source files in the project) so that Eclipse can upload changes to the server. Yes, this is planned redundancy.
That said, it is not acceptable to spend the time copying all files in the large projects from the work folder to the local repository. I simply need to know which individual files to copy that include the currently defined variables and build tags. Note, we do not copy the SSL folder output files to our local source file repository, or other associated reference files that are not actually project source files.
Can you find someone who knows which files I need?
Thanks,
karen
