Getting junk data in the output file in UNIX server due to UNICODE error.

Hi All,
I am working on an Upgradation project from 4.7 to mySAP ERP 2005.
IN 4.7 we are using
OPEN DATASET lv_filename FOR OUTPUT IN BINARY MODE. and getting the file as required.
In ECC 6.0 for the same OPEN DATASET statement ,the output file in unix server has the junk data having the characters like #<##d9{y#+G9###T>j(##^# #K## #q### #####.
Pls help me in this issue to proceed further .
Thanks,
Chakradhar.

Firefox is my default browser in my local system, i am getting junk data when i open the .html type of files as attachment but there is no issue when i open as inline

Hi,
could please help me of the folloing issue
i have set up the firefox is default browser in my local system.
issue with only .html type files not with .doc .... etc.
my application requirement is to view the attached document if set Content-Disposition as "attachement" then open the dialog box with open or save radio options then if i select the open option data getting as junk data not the actual data.
if set Content-Disposition as "inline"' then file open in same accessing browser with proper data.
Note
i am using following piece of code in my application
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment;filename=\""
+ fileName + "\"");
actual my case is :
some where in my application i copy/paste the data from ms-word
then it saved as .html file after that when i want to see the data, then click on the attachment it opens dialog box, here i am selecting open option then it opens in my default browser "firefox" with junk data .
please observe the following junk data,

Hi 20fox12, this is most likely an IE problem. Firefox has no effect on any other installed applications. Unfortunately I have no idea what to do about your issue. I'd suggest a forum that is more tuned towards Windows issues.

Junk Characters in the output XML file after Parsing

Hi
I am using DOM parser to parse an XML file.
After parsing the input XML file, i am fetching some contents
from the same and also putting the same contents in the parsed output file which is also an XML file.
The problem here is that the after putting the contents to the output XML file from the input XML file,
some junk character appears at the end of each and every tag in the outputfile.
The junk character is some thing like this : " ampersand hash thirteen and a semicolon "
(*THE MESSAGE DID NOT ACCEPT THE SYMBOLS KINDLY TRANSLATE THE ABOVE WORDINGS*
INTO SYMBOLS)
This character gets appended at the end of each and every tag in the output file due to which the output file
is not recognised as an XML file.
Please let me know as to why is this character appearing and also please suggest some solution
for the same.
-Thanks in Advance.

DATA TRANSFER - How to get a SINGLE SPACE in the downloaded file from UNIX?

Hi Experts,
Am sending data from SAP to UNIX/ Application server and text file on desk top as well.
So, I am keeping a single character just SPACE at the END of each record.
Then, When I see the downloaded text file, I found a SINGLE SPACE at the end of each record, fine.
Then, by using CG3Y t code, I downloaded the UNIX file to my desk top.
But, When I see this UNIX downloaded file from UNIX, I did NOT find any SPACE at the end of each record!!!
Am doing every thing same in both cases.
So,
1 - Why its happening in case of UNIX file?
2 - How to get a SINGLE SPACE at the END in the downloaded file from UNIX?
thanq

Hi,
I don't know if this works:
perform SET_TRAIL_BLANKS(saplgrap) using 'X'.
perform SET_FIXLEN(saplgrap) using '0' '060'. "put length of your line from-to
... download ...
It will put space at the end of your line, according to the length.
Hope it works,
Chang

How to get the Output File Name as One of the Field Value From Payload

Hi All,
I want to get the Output file name as one of the Field value from payload.
Example:
Source XML
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
- <ns0:MT_TEST xmlns:ns0="http://sample.com">
- <Header>
<NAME>Bopanna</NAME>
</Header>
</ns0:MT_TEST>
I want to get the Output file name as " Bopanna.xml"
Please suggest me on this.
Regards
Bopanna

Hi,
There are couple of links already available for this. Just for info see the below details,
The Output file name could be used from the field value of payload. For this you need to use the UDF DynamicFile name with below code,
// Description: Function to create dynamic Filename
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container.getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File" , "FileName");
conf.put(key,a);
return "";
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container.getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File" , "FileName");
conf.put(key,a);
return "";
With this udf map it with the MessageType as
(File Name field from Payload) > DynamicFileConfiguration>MTReceiver
Thanks

How can I get the File Creation Date OR Last modification date of the incoming file in my message?

I need the Last Modification Date and the File creation date of the consumed file in my message, is it possible to do that using a custom pipeline component in decode stage or any other way? The FILE namespace have File creation time that actually gives
the time the file was dropped in receive location, not the actual creation time. Also this namespace doesn't have the Last Modification Date.

Yes,
As per MSDN, "File.FileCreationTime" - "Defines the time that the file was written to the folder that is monitored by the File receive
adapter."
So for File Modified DateTime, only option I can think of is create a custom file adapter (updating the File Adapter code from SDK ..\SDK\Samples\AdaptersDevelopment\File Adapter) and access the received file with the code something like the following, which
you give you the Last Modified date
string sLastModifiedDate = File.GetLastWriteTime(path).ToString();
If there are any business requirements which drives you this, then this the only way I can think of. Because you can access the file properties only in adapter, when it passes through adapter file is handled as stream and you will only have context properties
to access the file related properties.
If you're looking for implement this for any audit purpose or for your any technical purpose, then you can suggest some alternate than using File updated datetime.
If this answers your question please mark it accordingly. If this post is helpful, please vote as helpful by clicking the upward arrow mark next to my reply.

Get modified date inside the File content of CM

hi,
In CM I have uploaded a file and have set the permission to modify the file to a group of users.Now when each and every time any user modifies the file content I want to have the modified date inside the updated file.
How can i achieve this?.....
Please help.....
Thanks in advance,
shami.

Hi All,
@Parvathy:There is no such property on your files, you should create one in your filter and depending on this custom property your filter should decide if a document update is required or not.
As already said follow this:
You have a content filter which can do updates to these files:
-- Content filter sets a custom property new_modifieddate on each resource after updating resource. (new_modifieddate==cm_modified of resource)
-- It compares new_modifieddate with cm_modified of resource to determine if it should update the resource with cm_modified.
@Shami: Use some logging in your Filter code, so that you can make sure your code is being executed. One more way is to dubug you code by setting break points in NWDS (Ofcourse the server should be in debug mode for this option).

Using Timestamp [TS] in the output file name

Hello Everyone,
i am trying to get the timestamp into the output file generated by the store file atom. Since my Outbound channel is void i thought i could use:
[TS]
or
[yyyy][mm][dd][hour][min][sec]
My File Specification is: C:\Temp\Out\blabla[TS].xml and unfortunatelythe outputfile are named: blabla[TS].xml
What am I doing wrong? Can i not use those placeholders in an atom?
Help is greatly appreciated
Best regards
Simon

Hi Simon,
Now I see, you're trying to maintain the timestamp in the SLD FILO section and not in a store file atom of an integration scenario.
In this case, please check the following help document:
filePattern
To define the outbound file pattern, define the directory and the file specification. Enter the full path. The integration framework supports Microsoft Windows UNC (Universal Naming Convention) names. The directory you enter must exist in the file system. The user for directory access must have the necessary rights in the file system.
You can use the following special characters and variables:
Character/
Variable
Description
To introduce numbering in the file directory use ?.
If you enter for example data????.xml, the integration framework creates an outbound file called data0000.xml, if the directory is empty. If a file, following this naming convention, already exists in the outbound directory, the next generated file name is data<last number>+1.xml. If data0000.xml already exists in the directory, the next file in the directory is data0001.xml.
[vbiu]
This is a placeholder for a value you can define in scenario package processing. If you use the value, add the b1im_filename attribute directly in the outbound payload.
<xsl:template name="transform">
<xsl:attribute name="b1im_filename">myName</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:template>
[TS]
To add a timestamp to the file name, use the variable. This gives you another possibility to define unique file names.
[yyyy]
Adds the current year in four digits to the file name
[yy]
Adds the current year in two digits to the file name
[mm]
Adds the current month to the file name
[dd]
Adds the current day to the file name
[hour]
Adds the current hour to the file name
[min]
Adds the current minute to the file name
[sec]
Adds the current second to the file name
You can also combine the variables. For example file[TS]??.[hour][min].txt

P.S.: just in case you need to define a filename in the integration step for the store file atom, here is a screenshot:

It is NOT the same vi!!! You need to familiarize yourself with dataflow, LabVIEW does NOT execute left to right, any part can execute if all inputs have data.
In your particular case, the "file info" will execute at the same time you are building the file path. In addition, you are measuring the size of the stripped path and not of the new file. Try execution highlighting!
To fix your code:
You need to get the "file info" from the path AFTER you add the new filename.
Use the error cluster to enforce proper execution order as in my example. WIre the error out of "close" to the error in of "File info". Now the "File info" must wait until all inputs have data, which can only happen after "close" has completed.
All clear?

When I try to install Firefox, I get a "can not open output file" error. I was using Firefox before and it stopped working, so I uninstalled. Cannot re-install now.

When you click the download link on [http://getfirefox.com GetFirefox.com], you should be asked if you wish to Run or Save the file. If the described situation happens when trying to Run the download, try instead to Save it and put the file on your Desktop or a similar place where you are certain that you can find it again.
When the download is complete, try double-clicking the downloaded file in the normal Windows Explorer (browse your way to the file from My Computer). This should start the installation.
If you notice in the Explorer window that the file seems to be lacking the Firefox orange/blue icon, rightclick the file and select Properties. The picture should look somewhat like the attached picture (except that mine's in danish, but that is irrelevant) if saved correctly - if it does NOT look like this, please describe the contents or attach a screenshot of the box. Especially what it says under "File type" - it should be "Program"; if it's not, we'll have to look into what the problem could be here.
Slightly off-topic, your Internet Explorer seems to be quite a bit out of date (IE 6, where current version is IE 8), so I would strongly recommend that you try to run Windows Update to get your system updated. If this is a company system (like a Terminal Server thin client machine), this may not be possible, and your system administrator will most likely have to help you.
