Flat file extraction with FILE

Hi BWers,
I want to extract a flat file to BW with an infopackage.
This flat file is located in a physical path changing according to the system :
- in the developpment server, path is :
...\dev\file.csv
- in the quality server, path is :
...\qual\file.csv
- in the production server, path is :
...\prod\file.csv
In the Name of the File into the infopackage extraction tab, i have to put the physical path or the logical file or routine.
I don't want to put directly the physical path, because i would have to change this path in qual and prod servers.
I don't want too to use a routine.
So I created a logical file with FILE T-code. But in physical path i put :
...\dev\<FILENAME>
How to put a directory variable like that : $(director)<filename> which says : if we are in Dev, so $directory =
...\dev\file, else qual...
Thanks for help.
Cheers,

Hi,
Here is the answer i found:
Use in  FILE\Assignment of Physical Paths to Logical Path the variable like that:
<V=Z_INT_SRV>
Declare this variables in Definition of Variables.
Z_INT_SRV

  • Batch file extracting all files from nested archives

    I have managed to leverage a powerful
    forfiles command line utility with the mighty
    7z compression program.
    Below is a simple batch file extracting all files from nested archives hidden at any depth inside other archives and/or folders. After the extraction each archive file turns into a folder having the archive file name. If, for example, there was an "outer.rar"
    archive file containing nothing but an "inner.zip" archive with only "afile.txt" inside, "outer.rar" becomes "...\outer.rar\inner.zip\afile.txt" file system path.
    @echo off
    rem extract_nested_archives.bat
    move %1 "%TMP%"\%2
    md %2
    7z x -o%1 -y %TMP%\%2
    del "%TMP%"\%2
    for %%a in (zip rar jar z bz2 gz gzip tgz tar lha iso wim cab rpm deb) do forfiles /P %1 /S /M *.%%a /C "cmd /c if @isdir==FALSE extract_nested_archives.bat @path @file"
    ARCHIVES ARE DELETED DURING THE EXTRACTION! Make a copy before running the script!
    "7z.exe" and "extract_nested_archives.bat" should be in folders available via the %PATH% environment variable.
    The first parameter of extract_nested_archives.bat is the full path name of the archive or folder that should be fully expanded; the second parameter is just the archive or folder name without the path. So you should run "c:\temp\extract_nested_archives.bat
    c:\temp\outer.rar outer.rar" from the command line to completely expand "outer.rar". "c:\temp" must be the current folder.
    Best regards, 0x000000AF

    Incredibly useful!  Thank you so much.  I did make a couple of small changes to make the script a little easier to use from the end-user perspective.
    First - I don't like making the user input the redundant second parameter, so I added this snippet which extracts it from the first parameter.  The first line of the snippet enables delayed expansion so that special characters in our file name don't
    break anything.  The second line pulls the parameter into a variable, and the 3rd line uses delayed expansion on that new variable.  Before implementing delayed expansion I had problems with file paths which included parentheses.
    SetLocal EnableDelayedExpansion
    Set SOURCE=%1
    For %%Z in (!source!) do (
    set FILENAME=%%~nxZ
    set FILENAME=%FILENAME:"=%
    Anyway once that was done, I just used %FILENAME% everywhere in the script instead of
    %2 (making sure to correct quotes as needed)
    This way, to run my script all you need to run is:
    C:\temp\extract_nested_archives.bat C:\temp\Archive.zip
    Second - I didn't want to modify the Windows environment variable.  So I replaced
    7z with "%PROGRAMFILES%\7-zip\7z.exe"
    I also replaced extract_nested_archives.bat with "%~f0" (which represents the full path+filename of the current script).
    Here is my full script now.  Tested on Windows 8 with the 64-bit version of 7-zip installed:
    @echo off
    Setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
    Set source=%1
    For %%Z in (!source!) do (
    set FILENAME=%%~nxZ
    set FILENAME=%FILENAME:"=%
    move /Y %1 "%TMP%\%FILENAME%"
    md "%FILENAME%"
    "%PROGRAMFILES%\7-zip\7z.exe" x -o%1 -y "%TMP%\%FILENAME%"
    DEL "%TMP%\%FILENAME%"
    for %%a in (zip rar jar z bz2 gz gzip tgz tar lha iso wim cab rpm deb) do (
    forfiles /P %1 /S /M *.%%a /C "cmd /c if @isdir==FALSE "%~f0" @path @file"

  • Sender File Adapter with file conversion

    Hi guys,
    I’m using a Sender File adapter with file conversion. The message to be processed has a structure with fixed lengths and in your content are some values that needs to be ignored.
    An example:
    value1  <b>value2</b>  value3…
    I want to ignore <b>value 2</b> but I can’t find a parameter for that! Do I need to define dummy fields on my data type and ignore those fields during mapping? Or there is a specific parameter for that?
    Thanks in advance,
    Ricardo.

    hi,
    there always is another way:)
    you can import the whole line to one field
    and cut it inside the adapter module
    (then you can define start and stop of the substring that you need to use)
    but of course it's not standard even though it's quite easy to achieve in java

  • Will the current plugins for Sigma DP1/2 RAW files work with files from the DP1/2 Merrill cameras? A

    Will the current plugins for Sigma DP1/2 RAW files work with files from the DP1/2 Merrill cameras? And if not, is Adobe developing plugins for these cameras?

    Not sure what plugins you mean, Hornet - Lr doesn't rely on plugins to read new cameras.
    If you mean the Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) plugin - that's for Photoshop, not Lightroom. Lr has the same functionality as ACR, but it's hard-coded into the program, so if you're looking for support for a new camera, you need to wait for a new version of Lr.
    And nobody here can say when Lr support for a given camera will happen.
    Hopefully someone with a Merrill will be able to chime in about whether its files work with the current Lr.

  • Get additional file attachements with file adapter

    Hello,
    Has anyone ever had the following situation:
    A Sender interface sends a little bit of data to XI.
    This data contains the filenames of some files on a FTP server.
    Based on these filename the file needs to be retreived from a FTP server and further handled as an attachement of the XI message?
    Is it possible to trigger a sender file adapter with a variable directory and filename from XI, in a BPM or Mapping?
    Warm Regards,
    Leon Boeijen

    hi,
    >>>>Is it possible to trigger a sender file adapter with a variable directory and filename from XI, in a BPM or Mapping?
    no it's not possible to start a file adapter from BPM
    you can use a java proxy that will do the trick
    we've used a solution like this many times with no big issues
    remember that it's better to use an async java proxy
    (with correlation) then a sync one...

  • Pdf files download with .file extension thus wont open as a pdf

    Hi , when I try to download a pdf document with Firefox, the file downloads but add a .file extension thus wont open as a pdf.
    I do not know if this is relevant but if you try to get the file to open with adobe viewer by telling the pc to open this type of file always with adobe viewer, nothing happens the tick box is greyed out, however if I double click the adobe viewer icon it will quite happily open the downloaded file as a pdf

    The next time you download, STOP, and double check the full name of the file.
    Firefox would not change the file name. But an add-on could.

  • Anyone know if the long standing duplicate files problem with File History has been fixed yet?

    There are loads of public threads about the duplicate files problem
    with Windows 8/8.1 File History backup system.
    From all the threads I've looked at, there seems to be no solution,
    and no acknowledgement from MS that they can even repro the problem
    (which surprises me considerably as there are so many people who
    notice the problem).
    Is anyone aware of whether MS (may) have fixed this for Win10?
    Are MS aware of the problem and if they're able to fix it?
    Dave - with many GB of duplicated files in File History :)

    Hmm, is that the attitude MS would recommend? :)
    Why would I care what Microsoft would recommend?
    Clearly you don't, and you appear to have missed my smiley. Calm down
    Noel, many of us are as annoyed by aspects of modern Windows as you
    are. :)
    I'm all about making Windows actually WORK/./
    Aren't we all? Windows is software I use too many hours every day, I
    along with many millions of others need it to work really well. You
    are not alone.
    When they implement something that doesn't work, and even if it did work doesn't do what's needed - and/beyond that/ they remove features people DO need (such as the GUI for Windows Backup), I see no wrong in advising people of the way things
    really are.
    File History essentially does work - it's saved me a couple of times
    in the past couple of weeks. It just has a highly annoying habit of
    creating 100% duplicates of some files for no apparent reason. If MS
    have fixed that I won't have any known complaints about it.
    If you don't like it, you don't have to use it. I generally like it, I
    just want to see that its fixed.

  • CS4 apps are VERY slow to open Windows file browser with File Open or File Save As commands

    We are running CS4 on Windows 7 with all available updates installed.   Photoshop and the other CS4 applications are VERY slow to open a Windows file browsing window to select files when File Open or File Save As menu options are run -- it can take as long as a minute or two for the window to open.  Once the window opens and a file is selected, then opening or saving the file is very quick.  The location of the default directory, whether it is on a local drive or a network drive, makes no difference.  Any suggestions as to what the problem might be?

    Raphman02
    The link that I posted earlier is off.  Read this one
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2501584.  I discovered in my network that the MS Office File Validation Patch made excel crawl when opening over the network though nothing else changed. At the time I was opening Excel on Office 2003.
    You can manually turn this off by editing the registry and tunring it off.  Going forward I skipped the patch to keep my sanity.  Not sure if this is the same as your issue, but the support article will go into detail how to either have Fix it
    clear the issue or change the proper registry keys.
    Hope this helps

  • JBIG2 Object Stream - Extract with file header?

    Hello,
    I'm attempting to extract JBIG2 images only from a PDF. The only problem is that the JBIG2 images are raw data streams without a header, and so I can't just save it into a .jb2 file, as no application will recognize it.
    It looks like this:
    <</Subtype/Image/Width 1740/Height 3002/ColorSpace/DeviceGray/BitsPerComponent 1/Decode[1 0]/Length 12268/Filter/JBIG2Decode>>
    stream
    (DATA)
    endstream
    etc.
    I can easily extract the data, but how can I repair the header?
    Thank you.

    You will need to learn the JB2 file format and construct one based on the data in the ImageXObject dictionary.
    Don't forget that JB2 also supports a global data block in the PDF as well, you will need that too!

  • Receiver File Adapter with File content Conversion

    I have a requirement to send 2 different files to the target directory. Source is the same and different mapping for the 2 files.
    This I can achieve through multi-mapping but there is a problem. How can I use the File content for receiver File adapter which is using Multimapping.
    The structure of the 2 files also different.

    Why would you need FCC on receiver file adapter? If you need different files to be generated from the source, you could create two receiver channels with different mappings and just add them to the same Receiver Detemination. Isn't feasible?

  • Dynamic file naming with File/FTP adapter

    Hi all,
    I have a requirement for writing files with names of the files based on a customer ID.... a dynamic name based on a value retrieved from the customer DB.
    I have already tried using the dynamic file naming suggestion in the bpel dev guide, it does not work. I followed the instructions, the process fails to compile and throws "part" and "undefined variables" errors etc.
    Has anyone succesfully used file/ftp adapter to write files with dynamic file names (using a varibale), not %SEQ% or %datetime% formats?
    Thanks,
    Hasan

    You can create a header variable that will allow you to set the outbound file name inside the process. This variable is a message type. From the type chooser select:
    Message Types
    Partner Links
    Outbound Partner Link
    Outbound wsdl
    Message Types
    Imported WSDL
    fileAdapterOutboundHeader.wsdl
    OutboundHeader_msg
