Flat file to Oracle: Dynamic flat file name

Hi,
I am doing a transformation from flat file to oracle.
At one place there is requirement like flat file name is dynamic.
*eg. D:\ Flat DB\ Sample<Date>.txt
examples may be like Sample09012012,Sample08012012 *
As in physical schema we specify name of file is there any way by which we can specify dynamic file name.
as stated above.
Any help and suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi,
Yes you can specify a variable in the file name ( the resource name filed) .
You need to refresh the variable in a package and then use the interface to pick data from the file .
Thanks,

Creating dynamical flat file name in mapping?

Hi.
I know about the variations on how to use an input parameter and/or sysdate to create a dynamic output file name in a mapping.
My challenge is nearly the same, but I cannot make OWB generate the correct code.
Problem:
- got a one column table that holds an identifier in a string field
- got a function that reads and returns said identifier
- imported function into OWB
- trying to use the function call in the Flat File Operator's Target Data File Name, e.g. fixedfilename||fn_get_id()||sysdate||'.ext
OWB creates the code:
UTL_FILE.FOPEN(
'my_location',
'fixedfilename'||fn_get_id()||'_'||SYSDATE||'.ext',
'w',
32767
However, when compiling the package code, it returns the warning:
ORA-06550: PACKAGE BODY, line 2214, column 29: PLS-00201: identifier 'FN_GET_ID' must be declared
which results in an error when trying to execute the mapping.
I've tried substituting the function call in the FOPEN call:
myId := fn_get_id();
UTL_FILE.FOPEN(
'my_location',
'fixedfilename'||myId||'_'||SYSDATE||'.ext',
'w',
32767
and this works fine, the mapping creates a file with the desired filename. But obviously not a good solution rewriting the generated code all the time....
Anyone solved something similar?
Could I use an input parameter and the autogenerated function GET_<PARAMETER>?
But can I set the value of an input parameter inside the very same mapping?
Regards,
-Haakon-

(It always helps writing out one's problems...)
I managed to get it working :-)
Added an input parameter to the mapping, and gave the outgroup variable a default value by calling my imported function.
Then concatenated the implicitly generated function (GET_PARAMETER) in the Target Data flat file name.
I now have a target file name that changes according to a departement id stored in a parameter table.

Include Flat file name as a field in the PSA / DSO.

Hi,
I have a requirement to include the Flat file name also in the DSO which is used for loading the data from a flat file source. I have created a new infoobject for File Name in the DSO. Can you guide me from which table I can get this information.
I was thinking of reading this information from the table which stores the file name in a routine in the transformation to the DSO.
I came across the table RSLDPSEL, it stores the Infopackage name and file name. But this does not work when I am using the same infopackage to load multiple files. Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Hari.

Hi,
The main challenge is to get the Technical name of the infopackage in the transformation ( field routine) from PSA (Datasource Source) to DSO for the Filename info object.
Is there any table which stores the Infopackage and the corresponding data target information in BI 7.0 sothat I could use the field routine in transformation to get the Infopackage ID based on the data target (DSO) ?
Once I have the technical name of the Infopackage, my logic is to query the RSLDPSEL table and find the file name based on Infopackage ID.
Please share your thoughts on how this scenario could be realised.
Thanks,
Regards,
Hari

Flat file name from Sender Side Dynamically into subject of Receiver Mail

Hi All,
         I am Using a file to Mail Scenario, My requirement is to get dynamically the file name from flat file of the Sender Side into Subject of Receiver Mail Adapter and attachment of file from the Sender Side. Can anyone help me out.
Thanks in Advance

Hi....
          You can write udf in the message mapping to get the Dynamic file name and map that to the subject of the receiver mail.
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) param.get(
          StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey KEY_FILENAME = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File","FileName");
      // read value
      String Filename = conf.get(KEY_FILENAME);

Dynamic flat file name as source

Hi All,
I working on ODI 11g 11.1.1.3 version.
I have Flat file say ABC01 as source, flat file was successfully load into target.
But next day new file say ABC02 with same structure was generate from client.
Every day new file is generate say ABC03, ABC04 and so on.
how to use this file to load data, without changing file name.
dynamically can it is possible.
Please give me suggestion.
Thanks in advance
Prashant

Hi Prashant,
You can achieve this by doing the following :
1. Create a variable Called FILE_NAME
2. Go to your file datastore and replace the Resource Name with variable #FILE_NAME. So you need to pass correct file name to the variable.
3. To get the filename into variable , you can look into the following thread
Read FileNames in Directory
Hope it helps

How do you dynamically set the flat file name

Within my process flow I call a mapping. Within this mapping I have a flat file operator (which creates and writes to a .csv file). All working great.
From this process flow I want to be able to pass a parameter to the mapping (which I can do), and use the value of this parameter as the file name of the .csv file. But I can’t seem to be able to dynamically set the ‘Default physical file name’ to this parameter value within the mapping.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks
Ansel

Hi Ansel

Handling variable flat file name in UNIX environment

Dear Forum,
I am working in a project where,
Online systems generate flat files with variable names (followed by timestamp) and load into a Unix directory (FTP Location) for loading into data warehouse.
Using OWB, I will have to rename those files into a static name then execute the mapping. Once the mapping is executed the the source file should be transfered to a different directory.
I am trying to do this using a external process in OWB process flow. I found a similar reference in the link below
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/warehouse/pdf/Cases/case7.pdf
But here it is shown for windows only. As I do not know unix, I could not proceed a lot with this.
Therefore requesting you all, please help me showing how can I achive this. I think your answer will help many others along with me, looking for the same solution. Please help.
Kind Regads
Zakir

You will need to logon as your Oracle owner (the userid is ORACLE, in my case), and then issue the following commands from a terminal session:
To create a new reports server (one in addition to the default
in-process server), use the following commands:
export ORACLE_HOME=<whatever your oracle home path is>
cd $ORACLE_HOME/bin
./rwserver.sh <newserver name>
To start the new server, issue:
./rwserver.sh server=<newserver name>
Leave the Unix session that was used to start the server logged on unless you have something like DTWM running that will keep the server running. Otherwise, if you log off the unix session, the server will end.
Then just substitute the new server name in your line command. The difference between the in-process server and a standalone server is that the in-process server will not always stay active - it will start when it receives a request. The standalone server will stay active all the time and wait for requests.
If the standalone server works for you, I would suggest then putting it in the correct config files to let Enterprise Manager manage it for you. If you get that far, let me know and I can tell you how to do that also. (Plus the instructions are in the Publishing Reports To The Web manual).

Infopackage routine for changing file name

Hi Everyone,
 I have to load flat files from application server directories. I get these files from different locations and they are saved in own (location) folders by a script). I would like to run these file from infopackage through process chain. the problem is that these files have changing names. The format is like this
Canada_co3300.csv
I can write a routine is my infopackage but "co3300" keeps changing as it represents different companies code in that particular location (Canada).
I have a routine
data: F1 type string value 'D:\usr\sap\FLAT_FILES\Inbound\Cayman\Canada_co3300_',
F2 type string '.csv'.
concatenate f1 f2 into p_filename.
How can I get a variable co---- in my routine so my infopackage can read the file if co has different value like co2000. Thanks In advance.
Regards,
Asad

Hi Saugata,
 My flat file name has a naming convention based on company code in application server folder, so I get files with name
 Canadaco3000.csv or
 Canadaco2000.csv or
 Canadaco4000.csv or something else (co number keeps changing)
So My file name keeps changing all the time. I would like my infopackage to read these files automatically thorugh a routine or logical file name. I have tried both, but donot know how to configure this scenerio thorugh my infopackage. Please give me steps to use that table you mentioned. Thanks .

Dynamic source file names

Hi all,
I am planning to load data from a flat file using an external table in an OWB mapping. Will my mapping work correctly if my file name changes at every load...as an example file name in October is sales_200310 in november it will be sales_200311.
In case OWB cannot handle this kind of variable file name then does it allow to include a pre mapping script (shell script or batch command) to change the flat file name to a standard name each time the mapping is executed.
Pls. suggest a workaround for this problem.
My environment -- Oracle 9i, OWB 9.2
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Amit.

Amit,
OWB does not support dynamic file names at the moment. You will have to rename the file(s) into a static, pre-defined name either by running a pre mapping process in the mapping or by running an external process from a process flow.

Passing Dynamic File Name to ODI nterface for processing to another system

Hi,
I need help regarding passing a Dynamically Name changing fixed length Flat File in ODI Interface. This interface is built for taking the Flat File as Input and process it to SQL Server by applying Data Mapping and transformations... The input Flat File Name is sequence generated for eg: OEORD1123.txt and next file will be OEORD1124.txt and it sits in Oracle Conc tier. How to pass the latest file name to ODI interface for processing
Regards,
Anil..

Hi Guys...
I would like to suggest a way.
a) create a single interface with dynamic resouce name (a ODI variable) with a filter to the month column like:
month_column = '#vCountMonth'
b) in the refresh tab of a first variable (I named "vMonth"), use the following query: (varialbe should be alphanumeric, "not persistent")
select to_char(to_date('#vCountMonth','MM'),'month') from dual
c) create one more ODI variable (I named "vCountMonth"), alphanumeric, not persistent and at its refresh tab write:
select lpad(to_char(#vCountMonth + 1), 2, '0') from dual
d) now just create a package, drag and drop the objects in the following order:
d.1) vCountMonth in set mode and set = 0 (zero)
d.2) vCountMonth in refresh mode
d.3) vMonth in refresh mode
d.4) the interface
d.5) vCountMonth in evaluate mode, evaluating "= 12"
==> if NO (KO, red line) link the KO line to d.2 step
==> a OK line is not necessary unless you have others steps after finish the evaluating
Make any sense? That is a single loop to have the interface developed only one time.
Please, remember to check each thread reply as Useful or Correct if they are useful to you...
