FILES FROM MULTIPLE DIRECTORIES

Hi Experts,
                I got a doubt here plz clarify it
    1.How can we pick files from multiple directories ? and all the files will have different names?
                Plz clarify this, good explanations willbe rewarded .
                                                                                Regards,
                                                                                Vinod.

Hi Vinod Reddy,
One way that i know to solve this prob is by using the 'File Name Masking'.
This can be done with the sender channel, where you have to specify the
source directory as <NOTHING>
source file as <NOTHING>
This gives you an advanced selection option, where you need to give the Source Directories along with the File name masks (the source files).
Hope this may solve your problem.

Suppose you have one File Server installed (say SAP).....it has only two sub-folders (say XI and PI)....now you want to pick files from both the sub-folders....so you can try SAP/* ........
Please open your File Server location and any sub-folder within it and check if it is / or \ .....and then use the slash (/ or \) accordingly ......if you have IP and no name then give the IP.....rest logic remains the same....

File Adapter: picking files from multiple directories

Hi all,
In a sender file communication channel with Transport
Protocol FTP, There are 2 parameters for Picking up the file
called Source Directory and Filename. If I want to pick the
files from 2 or more directories, What needs to be done.
Or is it possible to do so ?
Without making duplicate interfaces what else can be done ?
Regards,
Vijay

Actually it is possible to select files from different folders for sender channel. It is available with SP14.
I just copy following description from help.sap.com
Advanced Selection for Source File
If you want to set an exclusion mask for the File Name specified above, or if you want to specify multiple directories using a file name mask and exclusion mask, set the Advanced Selection for Source File indicator.
¡ Specify an Exclusion Mask for the file name specified above.
Example
You want to process all files that have the extension '.txt', but want to exclude all files that begin with the letter 'a'. To do this, enter .txt for File Name, and a for Exclusion Mask.
¡ You can enter additional specifications for source directories, file names, and exclusion masks in the table. This data is processed in addition to the details specified above.

Multiple source files from multiple directories in sender CC

Dear all,
My requirrement is that ,I need to use multiple directories in sender CC (only one) and send the files to receivers.
Kindly let me know how it can be done.
Thanks,
Srinivasa

Hi,
under advanced tab.............If you set the Enable indicator, you can enter variables for the Target Directory and File Name Scheme. Enter the names of the variables and references in the table.
●      Enter each variable that you reference in the Target Directory and File Name Scheme fields without the surrounding percentage sign under Name of Variables in the table.
The variables can refer to attributes of the message header or elements of the message payload.
○       If the variables are to refer to an attribute of the message header, add the prefix message: to the name of the variable under Reference. You can specify the following attributes of the message header:
sender_party, sender_service, receiver_party, receiver_service, interface_name, interface_namespace,
message_id (message ID with hyphens, for example 9fbe1ff1-9a0d-11d9-8665-cbf10a126331)
message_id_hex (message ID in hexadecimal format, for example 9fbe1ff19a0d11d98665cbf10a126331)
For example, if you want to specify the interface name from the message header in the target directory or in the file name scheme, enter message:interface_name as the reference.
If one of the message attributes contains characters that are not permitted in a file name, for example \, /, :, *, ?, ", <, >, |, then these characters are replaced by an underscore ("_").
○       If the variable refers to an element in XML schema, add the prefix payload: to the information under Reference. The reference then comprises a pseudo path description in the form of a comma-separated list with the schema namea,na,nameb,nb,....
namea,nameb,...corresponds to the element name and na,nb,... corresponds to the occurrence of the element name at the respective level in the document.
The description begins at the root of the document and ends at the respective element.
To reference the element that is in bold in the example, the following expression is used: payload:root,1,e1,1,e2,2
The parser searches for the first occurrence of the root element at the first level. It then searches for the first occurrence of e1 at the second level and for the second occurrence of e2 at the third level. The content of the last element (“Example Value”) is set as the value for a specified variable.

How to pick files from multiple directories via Sender File Adapter?

Hi guys,
I have a scenario File to IDOC. The Sender File Adapter has to take all files: .xml from Source directory E://Current/.
Actually directories are like
E:/Plant1/Current/
E:/Plant1/History/
E:/Plant2/Current/
E:/Plant2/History/.
Can I have one Sender File Adapter to pick all *.xml files
from
E:/Plant1/Current/ and
E:/Plant2/Current/ and how can I write it in Source Directory of Communication Channel?
Or do I have to have a Sender File Adapter for each Plant?
Any suggestion please?
Kind regards,
Danijela Zivanovic

Batch Script to display last modified file from multiple directories

Hello,
I am trying to find the name of the latest file or the last modified file from a set of given directories.
I approached the problem by breaking it into two parts: a. read all the directories from a .txt file and display the names of those directories and files under those directories. b. Find the latest file present in any given directory and
Upto this point all worked well, but when I am trying to combine both these batch scripts, I am unable to get the desired result.
I am using BATCH SCRIPT only to complete this.
My tried script is as below:
a. TO SEE ALL THE DIRECTORIES SPECIFIED IN "path_123.txt" FILE
for /f "delims=" %%i in ('type "C:\Users\sonkar\Desktop\path_123.txt" ') do (set locall=%%i
echo %locall%
echo %%i
b. TO FIND THE LATEST FILE PRESENT IN THE DIRECTORY
set BUILDDROP="E:\"
for /f "tokens=*" %%a in ('dir /A:-D /B /O:-D %BUILDDROP%') do set NEWEST=%%a&& goto :next
:next
echo %NEWEST%
But when combining both is not working at all.
Any help is appreciated.

Since batch files lack the ability to do date arithmetic you are pushing them well beyond their limits. Either VBScript of PowerShell could handle this type of task. Here is a VBScript solution. You must save the code in a .vbs file, then modify it to suit
your exact needs.

[SOLVED]Copying multiple files from multiple directories to one folder

Title says it all. I have a discography folder with subfolders of the different years and albums of a band each containing music, some also have more sub folders. What I want to do is copy all of the music (.mp3's) from all the folders and sub folders into just one music folder. I found a find and -exec cp command before but it did absolutely nothing for whatever reason. Perhaps I did it wrong. Can anyone help me?
Thanks
Last edited by SiegeMachine (2009-11-15 06:54:40)

. refers to the directory to search (the current directory), it's not a pattern - here's what you want:
find . -iname '*.mp3' -type f -exec cp {} target_dir/ \;
This is assuming you're in the music directory - if not, you want
find /path/to/music -iname '*.mp3' -type f -exec cp {} target_dir/ \;

Retrive files from multiple source directories

Hi,
I need to retrive diffirent formet files from multiple directories and based on file name I need to send it to destination folders. Can anybody suggest me How can I impliment this interface.
Thanks & Regards
VenkatK

Venkat,
I hope since you are taking different format files, you are not doing any mapping. You are moving from one location to another location, because if you different formats then you can do in one mapping your requirement.
If it is correct then as shabharish mentioned you can pick the files using multiple file sender adapters. With this you can pick the files, but to send to different directories enable ASMA in sender file commkunication channel. Then in receiver communication check the extension for each format and then give the directory name so that it routes to the destination you mentioned.

Save file in multiple directories using receiver file adapter?

Hi,
Is it posible to save file in multiple directories using receiver file adapter?
Regards,
Ashish

Well, there is a round about way to do that -
The idea is to use multi mapping. 1:n mapping
1) Map ur message to 2 different record set nodes. Since you want to use the same file both the mapping will look exactly the same. make sure that the filepath and filename are a part of the output payload message
2) In the file adapter config. make sure the the file name and file path are from these payload fields. You can use a context object to refer these fields. Voila...the files are created in the 2 direcoties you mentioned.
of course the simplest way is to route the same message to 2 business systems/services and write them out using 2 ccs.,

How to create a pdf file from multiple images ?

Dear All,
I want to create a SINGLE page pdf file from two or more page size images that are combined to make a single page pdf. Again, this question is on pdfs that are made out of several, atleast two color images and a black-and-white mask for one of them.
I have such pdf files from an unknown source (the producer is edited out) whereby there are three tiff images, obtained using the well known pdfimages extractor.
When I want to make a pdf out of tiff or png or other image formats, I right click and tell Adobe Acrobat to make a pdf.
However, I dont know how I can give a command to select say, three tif images and specify which is the mask for which and then join them in a way that I get the pdf from the composite of the two color images and a mask for one of them.
Please help me out.
I am a little familiar with the pdf structure skeleton and when necessary, fixed xref tables in one of my favorite editors. A few years ago, I also wrote a bunch of javascripts to make some annotations and needed some automation and used some itext type libraries. However, I need your help in this problem as I am now rusty and forgot some of what I studied to solve my earlier problems. This is a new problem for me. Gentle hints from you would be very nice to help me in this problem. Please specify if necessary what manual and pages to read. in the pdfspec.
Best Regards

I would gladly mention that I am working on windows platform, preferably XP.

But adding other products, for the help of an adobe products user,

Well, just add the few pdf stanzas since you are proficient on it and
I am presently a little rusty as I mentioned. Just asking a little
extra yard, not even to go an extra mile.

Well, ascii format or uncompressed format that is human readable. I
know its a binary file, but human readable ascii version of it.
I hope you can give me some stanza and various other approaches
possible so I can select or combine things for myself. I see only a
miniscule number of posts claiming to have written masks in this forum
and then with no details.

How to include header files from different directories?

Hi,
Sorry for the newb question, but I can't figure this out. I'm trying to compile a simple piece of code (C++) that uses header files in a directory different from the Project directory; header files are in /opt/csw/postgresql/include/pqxx. I've tried a few different things, adding that directory to the include directives under Resource Files, add existing files from a folder, etc etc. Whenever I try to build, dmake bails with status -1. I can't seem to get this working, can someone explain how to use header files from different directories?
Thanks,
SlowToady

Header files are usually specified relative to a base directory. If the base directory is not a system directory -- /usr/include or the compiler installation directory -- add a command-line directive
-I path/to/base/dirfor each such directory.
The path can be absolute, such as
-i /opt/csw/postgresql/includeor relative, such as
-I ../../my/includeIn your source code, specify the header file relative to the base directory, and be sure to use quotes, not angle brackets. Example:
#include "header.h" // right
#include <header.h> // wrongThe angle brackets are used for system headers, like <iostream> or <stdlib.h>.
The rules above are common to all compilers on Unix and Linux, and generally to all C and C++ compilers.
For more details, read about the -I option in the C++ Users Guide. You can find the guide by pointing your browser to the "docs" directory in the compiler installation, or go here:
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-5267
All command-line options are described in Appendix A.
