FileName in BPM

Hello everybody,
we poll via file adapter. The files we read are processed in BPM.
Is it possible to access the value of a file name in BPM?
Regards Mario

Hi Mario,
yes,
set the Set Adapter-Specific Message Attributes indicator at communication channel and choose file name to store adapter attribute "file name" in the message header of the XI message. Map the value into the message to have it at BPM containter.

Sender Filename in BPM

Hello
I am trying to bring in the senderu2019s file name into the mapping with the help of several posts in the forum. But all my mappings are inside the BPM and so the file name in dynamic config is lost when it comes into the BPM. Do I need to store it in a container variable and bring it till the end or is there an alternative way?
Teresa

lets say your target has a field called filename
1. before entering BPM, a mapping will store the file name to the field
if your source structure for eg. is
Message_Source
<Data>
<a>
<b>
</Data>
then you can have an extra node created to accommodate the file name
message_source_with_filename
<Data>
<a>
<b>
</Data>
<Filename>XXX</Filename>
so the mapping will be 1:1
Message_Source -> message_source_with_filename
so now you have the file name as part of your XML.
2. In case you need this file name to be used in the ASMA of the receiver adapter then after the BPM you will need to have one more mapping which will take the value from this field and the pass it to dynamic configuration

Dynamic Filename in BPM process (SOAP with attachm. and PayloadSwapBean)

Hello together
I have the following BPM process:
1. IDoc=>WebServiceRequest
2. WebServiceResponse (payload) => IDoc
3. WebServiceResponse (attachment) => File
XI receivs an IDoc an map it to an WebService. The Webservice is called by XI and we receive the WebServiceResponse including a PDF attachment.
The challenge is to store the PDF attachment with a dynamic filename from the payload of WebServiceResponse.
We use the PayloadSwapBean to change the payload to the PDF attachment. But then we are not able to access the required information on the original WebService-XML-Response via variable substitution.
Is there a solution in the standard or have we to use a custom adapter module?
Thx

Hi Jayasimha,
We can do this by "Adapter Specific Message Properties" of ur comunication channels.
1.If u want to keep the output filename same as input filename, no need to use the UDF. only the 'adapter specific parameters' in both sender n receiver file adapter will do that.
In case if u want to get the filename inside our mapping we have to create a user defined function
which will return the filename and map it to one of our XML tags. 2nd point gives solution 4 that:
2. If u want to generate an output file taking some input from the payload,then u hav to use the UDF.There u hav to populate the name.
Pretty much.... if you set an attribute from the sender side, for example, you can use a UDF and access the particular attribute sent and use it in the mapping. In another example, where no attributes are sent from the sender, you can still actually set a particular attribute, say a filename derived from the payload, using a UDF, and enable the receiver attribute to use it. That's where the UDFs come in - either to get or set particular adapter specific message attributes.
This will be a very helpful blog which solves ur query:

How to get the sender filename in the mapping

hi
I want to get the name of the target file placed by XI at the target into a mapping.I need this to correlate this file with the acknowledgement file to be received later by Xi from the target, which has the same name as the target file.
I have gone through the following link:[Sender Filename in BPM]
however i'm unable to understand the precise steps involved in it.
am using a BPM.
as of now, my BPM has 3 step:receive , transform and send.
please help

In ID sender communication channel
check the checkboxes for
setadapter- specific message attributes
filename
in message mapping---- create one target elemt for the filename
Write a UDF to pass the sender filename to the target element
The UDF is as below
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container.getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File","FileName");
String ourSourceFileName = conf.get(key);
return ourSourceFileName;
I think this may help you.

File - BPM (RFC) - Mail Scenario

My scenario is File to Mail scenario thru BPM. in BPM I need to make RFC Call. I set ASMA in File sender adapter and File Nmae is not accessible in BPM Mapping. we are PI7.0 SP12. Im sure this is possible but for some reason not working. Any clue ?

Hi,
>>So Q1: Im not getting Filename into BPM though I checked ASMA in the Sender File Adapter
You cannot take the filename (using Dynamic Configuration) in Message Mapping inside BPM transformation step. So I will propose to take it before entering into BPM.
>>Q2: I need to send attachment name as Dynamic which I should get from the Input Message. we are on PI7.0 SP12.
Check the blogs in sdn, you will get more idea on this. If I get any I will reply back

Unable to convert sender service(BPM) to an ALE logical system

Hi All,
I am working on simple File to File Scenario where XI picks the File and process thru BPM and sends the file to R/3 Application server and wait for SYSTAT STATUS IDoc for the acknowledgement from R/3 System.
My scenario is working fine by receiving the STATUS IDoc and closing the BPM instance.
But later I am getting System error message as below:
Unable to convert sender service (BPM) to an ALE logical system
Any clues in this case?
Thanks in Advance.
Regards
Sudha.

Hi Rajesh,
1. I am receiving the file into BPM and after validation Iu2019m splitting the file into multiple files.
2. Each split file sent to R/3 Application Server(by activating the correlation with the filename)
3. BPM will wait for SYSTAT STATUS IDoc (by using correlation with the filename) from R/3 System
    for acknowledgement purpose. After receiving the respective STATUS IDoc (with the filename) then
    BPM will close the instance.
4. If the STATUS IDoc not received with in specified duration an alert will raise and close the BPM
    instance.
   So we are not sending the STATUS IDoc data to Sender system.
Regards
Sudha.

Store Filename in Container Operation of BPM?

Hi,
Is it possible to store filename in Container Operation of BPM step? I know that using mapping and assigning that field to Container Operation can be done.
But, is it possible to do without using payload field assignment?
Regards,
Ashish

That seems to be the only possible way. Bcoz the filename in the dynamic header is lost when the message enters BPM.

Prateek

Runtime constant (Filename) errors out in BPM

Hi,
I have a BPMCollectTime scenario to collect the Source files. The filename (Message Mapping/Transformation) from the files is captured in TRANSFORM STEP(before sending them out from BPM). The file is sent to SEND step one at a time.
Question : Filename of the source file is captured through user defined function.
Following is the code.
================
String v_result_time; //test Variable
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container.getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File","FileName");
if (key == null) { v_result_time= "Create Key Failed";}
else
{v_result_time= "Create Key worked";
String valueOld = conf.get(key);
v_result_time = valueOld;
return v_result_time;
The Mapping gives a runtime error in the BPM. This is a sporadic error.
I have selected the Adapter specific attribute(File name).
The BPM errors out sometimes? I am not sure if I am missing any setting. If I delete the work item and run the same scenario it works.
Question 1 : What is the cause of the above error?
Question 2 : Does BPM support Adapter specific attribute such as filename?
Kindly Advice.
Thanks,
Gowri

Hi Everyone,
Thanks for all the help.
DTN will not change the response filename to source filename. This option cannot be used. The correlation id is defined as response file name. Response filename is fixed for invoice file.
Here is the example.
For invoice file name HDTN20070430163110.TXT, response file received is nav1_2b5.rsp file. For HDTN20070430163314.TXT , response file is nav1_2b5.rsp
So my correlation id is dummy fixed value. I have known the fact that it is not possible to use context object filename.
Bhavesh - I have defined transform step for accessing filename using dynamic configuration. Following is the code used in mapping.
================
String v_result_time; //test Variable
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container.getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File","FileName");
if (key == null) { v_result_time= "Create Key Failed";}
else
{v_result_time= "Create Key worked";
String valueOld = conf.get(key);
v_result_time = valueOld;
return v_result_time;
====================================
BPM errors out sometime with following error
Component mapping has returned error.
com/sap/xi/tf/_MM_DTNData_2_DTNFilename_java.lang.NullpointerException.
Error: Exception CX_MERGE_SPLIT occurred (program: CL_MERGE_SPLIT_SERVICE========CP, include: CL_
If I delete this workitem and repeat the same scenario, it works. I have still not understood, why the scenario works sometime.
Kindly Advice.
Thanks,
Gowri

How to capture the Filename Dynamically in BPM

Hi All,
My scenario is FileBPMFile and my target end should get the same file name as source file name.
If suppose it is simple File to File we can use set attributes option to get the same filename.
But if BPM comes into Middle will it be managed if so how?
Can anyone suggest me?
Thanks,
Kalyan.

Hi,
There is no difference between File>BPM>File & File-->File with the requirement you are looking for.
Since you are not doing any modifications to the filename read from Sender File System no need for dynamic configuration concept in UDF of any mapping.
Do the following
Sender File Adapter Channel.
file name : a particular file name or a .(STAR.STAR) according to your requirement.
e.g., test.xml (or) *.xml (or) . (STAR.STAR)
Enable Adapter- Specific Message Attributes check box and make sure that the File Name check box is enabled. Save and Activate.
Receiver File Adapter Channel
file name : . (STAR.STAR)
Enable Adapter- Specific Message Attributes check box and make sure that the File Name check box is enabled. Save and Activate.
Execute your scenario.
Thanks,
Gujjeti

Filename in an alert message

Hi Friends,
I am doing a simple file to idoc scenario.
if mapping error occurs.
the requirement is to trigger an alert which says "A mapping error occurred when processing the file XYZ.txt"
Constraints are:
1. BPM is not used as it is a simple scenario.
2.RFC lookup during mapping is to be avoided since if mapping itself fails then it will be of no use.
Is there a way/work around to get the filename dynamically in the alert message.
Thank you,

Seems to be not possible without a BPM.....at least by using a standard alert procdure
Using a mapping get the FileName .....have both the source and target message as the same.....
map the FileName to some empty node of the structure.
In the mapping logic, one for which you want to check for any exception, do not make use of the node containing the FIleName...let the rest mapping remain as is
Create a Container Variable and Assign the node containing the FileName to it using a Container Operation.
Then raise the Alert.
I have used a similar approach in one of my interfaces.
Regards,
Abhishek.

Two FileName in Dynamic Configuration

Hi All,
I have a very rare problem. In an interface which uses BPM, where file is the sender and Proxy is the target,
there is an ABAP Class in the mapping which uses Dyanmic Configuration to retrieve the FileName and create a Proxy structure and posts it to the ECC. In this scenario, Multiple files are picked from different folder using advanced Selection and sent to BPM which uses the ABAP Class.
When i run the interface with 5 different files placed at source, In SXMB_MONI, I can see that after 3 files are processed successfully with a single filename in the Dynamic Configuration, the 4th or the 5th one wil have 2 filenames in the dynamic configuration out of which the first filename will be the copy of the earlier processed filename and the second one wil be the actual required filename. The above behaviour keeps on chainging.
How can this be possible as the Context Object 'FileName' can have only single filename through out the interface instance, as there is no setting of the filename done in dynamic configuration.
Please reply if anyone has a solution to the above problem.
Thanks.

Hi Jaideep..
Thanks for the reply.
Yes.. its a serial processing. Let me explain a bit more.
as i said above, after the 3rd BPM instance (Just as an example.. keeps on chainging), the 4th instance has a unique filename compared to before 3. but after processing, the Dynamic Configuration in SXMB_MONI will have 2 fileNames. which will have a copy of any one of the earlier filenames along with actual filename.

Variable Filename in Sender-Fileadapter

Hello,
i have a question about the possibility to implement the following part of a scenario:
Step 1: An E-Mail with a filename will be sent to the XI
Step 2: There starts an BPM process
Step 3: The XI read the filename from the mail
Step 4: The Sender-Fileadapter gets the filename which was sent by mail
Step 5: The File "filename" is read from the filesystem
Now the question is, how do I get the filename to the configuration of the Sender-Fileadapter?
Can i use variable-substitution? When yes, how?
Do i have to implement an adapter-module?
Is this possible at all? Or do i have to implement the scenario in an other way?
Thorsten

Hi Thorsten,
I feel your assumption is wrong.
>Step 1: An E-Mail with a filename will be sent to the >XI
Step 1: An E-Mail with an attachment with some name will be sent to the XI
>Step 4: The Sender-Fileadapter gets the filename >which was sent by mail
You are assumption that Sender File Adapter is wrong.
Possiblity is that you will read the attachement name from Mail Message(Mail Adapter) using Dynamic Configuration(in mapping) and you can use this name further according to your requirement.
This is what I grasped from your explanation. If any where my understanding is wrong please let me know your exact requirement.
thanks,
Gujjeti

BPM for n:1 Scenario

Hello All Experts,
I just want to develop a scenario where records are picked up by JDBC adapter and sends it to other system (File Adapter) and to BPM. and BPM after receiving a records from JDBC will wait for a message(File name ) from system where File is created. and once it receives a messages from both JDBC and File System. it(BPM) will update the filename field in JDBC system for all those records which are picked up.
Plz suggest me and give some example to create this Scenario.
Thanks & Regards,
Vanita

Vanita,
Don't mistake me for asking the same question...As we discussed in the other thread - you are saying only if the file got created then you need to update the JDBC with the file name correct?
Consider the below scenarios
You are creating a file - Successfully got created - Got Positive Ack (Filename got sent back to JDBC adapter
You are creating a file - Connectivity issue - Got Negative Ack (What you have to do here) -- You have to keep in mind that we have IS_RETRY LIMIT , so if it fails first time , it will retry the next time after some interval(let say 5 mins).You can't say ok, I got negative ACK so File haven't got created there is a chance that the file can be created after few mins too. So I would consider you to re- design your BPM Scenario.
For example
BPM -1
DB1 -->(JDBC Adapter) --> PI --> (File Adapter) --> File System1
BPM -2
File System1 --> PI --> (JDBC Adapter -Send Filename) --> DB1
Do you think this is feasible?
Thanks!

Is there any way to retreive the FileName in the mapping

Is there any way to retreive the FileName and so that I can use that in my mapping. This is FILE2RFC scenario with NO BPM.
I am using the adapter specific message attributes in the file sender CC.
Thanks,
Ravi
null

Yes you can retreive it. Create an simple user defined function in the mapping and use the following code.
Imports: com.sap.aii.mapping.api.*;
Parameter: String filename
Paramter: String filename;
filename = fileName + ".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, filename);
return filename;
Or
Just do whatever mentioned in this weblog:
