Header output file

Hi all,
I've a problem.
I'm using the KM 'IKM SQL to File Append' in order to generete a file with delimited format and I need to generate the header too. In the KM there is the option GENERATE_HEADER, I set yes but it didn't work.
Can you help me?
Thanks

Hi G,
please check if all fields r string-type 'cause all target file columns have to be defined as 'string'.

APD - Rename header at output file

Hello all,
I'm using APDs to run a query and download its results to a CSV file.
I need to rename header texts at output CSV file.
If you select an option (Insert header row with field names in the first row of the file) headers are generated, but generated format is by default: Field Description +++ Separator +++ Field technical name
So, you may have something like this in corresponding output file:
DOC_NUMBER:0DOC_NUMBER         S_ORD_ITEM:0S_ORD_ITEM         SCHED_LINE:0SCHED_LINE
30229264     30     1
30229264     30     2
Desired output:
Doc Nmbr         My Ord Item          My Sched Ln
30129264     30     1
30129264     30     2
Hope you could help. Thank you in advance!

Hi Sekharp,
No, anybody answered and I didn't researched anymore.

Can you fix your help project (via coding) after importing a topic from an output file by mistake?

Yes - I admit it - I imported html topic files from an output folder of another RH project into the help project I am currently working on (the source files were lost and I needed to bring over a lot of legacy content in a hurry). However, I completely forget that the RH output html file contains unique Java scripting that is used to render the topic properly in a browser, but that same Java Script causes havoc when you open it up in as a source file in another RH Project. Needless to say, it has caused numerous weird things when I went to publish and view my files (but, surprisingly, you don’t really see or notice them in the RH Design WYSIWYG view or preview mode).
The bad news is that it took about 2 weeks for me to notice the issue (the help output is viewed on a special console running Linux with a QT browser that I only view occasionally). The good news is that is that I figured out what the problem was (that took some hours) and I can restore my help project back to a time before I did the "naughty deed".
I am now at a crossroads - do I:
Try to re-enter all of my content from the last two weeks? (Actually, to avoid repeating the same mistake twice, I will need to re-enter the text manually and NOT cut and paste from the RH output files!)
Or locate and find the offending HTML coding in my topic files (if that is even possible)? Has anybody documented what the RH output file JavaScript code injects into your files, and what files they affect?

OK - here is the documentation of this weird issue (hopefully, you can read the htlm code in the screen images):
1. In this topic, I cut and pasted some text into the table you see at the bottom of the screen. I had to reapply the “TableBody” style to this text. After doing this, I moved my cursor to the “Keyboard" text on top. Notice that it is displaying the "TABLEBODY" style, although visually, it is displaying the correct style on screen (“Heading 1”).
2.     In HTML view, notice the addition of the class= “TableBody”> code for this “Keyboard” text.
3.   I then reselected Heading 1 for this “Keyboard” text.
4.   Notice that the class= “TableBody”> code is now removed for this “Keyboard” text and has just the proper <h1> tagged assigned.

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

How do I add column headings to an output file?

Hi,
I have an internal table that is created in my program and I send that table out as a data file attachment on an email.
I have a request to include column heading on the data file going out.
Does anyone have any ideas as to how I can include a heading line as the first line of the output file?
I'm an ABAP newbie and I don't know the best way to accomplish this?
Thanks for your help!

Get MUTLIPLE output files for SINGLE input file with multiple records

Hi ,
I have source xml file which has multiple records in it and I want to get multiple seperate flat files for it.
this is my source structure
<root>
<Header1 fld1=1234 fld2="name1" fld3='SAP1"
fld4='000" fld5=0 fld6="sdn1"></header>...............no line items here
<Header2 fld1=123 fld2="name" fld3='SAP"
fld4='00" fld5=0 fld6="sdn" ><line fld7=value1 fld8=value2 fld9=value3 /line><line fld7=value4 fld8=value5 fld9=value6 /line></header>.....two line items here
<Header3 fld1=123 fld2="name" fld3='SAP"
fld4='00" fld5=0 fld6="sdn" ><line fld7=value7 fld8=value8 fld9=value9 /line></header>......one line item here
Header4 fld1=12345 fld2="name2" fld3='SAP2"
fld4='0006" fld5=01 fld6="sdn2"</header>.......no line items here
</root>
I am trying to get flat files as many time the <b>header</b> values occur that many target files should appear in the target.
like
file1:
1234name1SAP10000~sdn1
file2:
123nameSAp000~sdn
value1value2valu3
valu4value5value6
file3:
123namesap000~sdn
value7valu8value9
file4:
12345name2SAP2000601~SDN2
here I have 4 headers so i need to get 4 output files ,similarly for 'n' headers I need to get 'n' output flat files. the above mentioned source xml file is just one file,like that I might get somany sourc xml files which has similar structure in it.
and also it is important to get the line items,if exists to the header, for the corresponding headers.
how can I achieve this?do I need to use BPM or any mappings other than Graphical?
please suggest me.
thank you.
Babu
sorry,output file structure changed

Creating .RTF output files - PI7.0 Receiver file adapter

Hi Experts,
I am currently facing an issue with the Receiver File adapter where in the output files are required to be of the format of .RTF (Rich Text Format).
The scenarios is an outbound proxy from SAP ABAP - > PI 7.0 -> .RTF File
All the data required to be present in the file will be coming in the source structure
Can the File Receiver Adapter handle this ?
Is there a way to generate Files with extension .rtf ??
It is a requriement since the output files will be used as Reports , and so the desired format.
I am unsure if I will have to use XSLT mapping , in this because i am new to that , Kindly let me know how to go about it ,. any links or pointers on how to achieve the same will be welcome.
thanks
Dev
Edited by: sd on Feb 17, 2010 8:23 AM

Thanks for your reponse Praveen
Can you please let me know how can i put the extension as .rtf for the output files i am generating ??
as far as the formatting is concerned ... it is like ... the header needs to be of a particular Font , a particular font size , bold etc and so is the case for line items
I am unsure if it is possible using an Adapter module as well
thanks
Dev

How to fix the length of the output file

hi,
I have 1000 records in my source table which need to be inserted into file. But the length of the rows in my file should be only 500 i.e there should be two files getting created for this 1000 records i.e my each output file should contain only 500 rows not more than that.
Depending on the number of records present in the source, the file getting created will be varying as my file should contain only 500 rows each. for ex: if 5000 rows are present then 10 files need to be created.
How this can be achieved in ODI.
Thanks in advance

I believe this can achieved using jython easily .

How Can I get Concurrent program parameters in the bursting output file????

I have rtf template. I am passing parameter PC_REPORT_TYPE,pd_week_ending_date in my concurrent program. In rtf header I am passing this parameters as <?PC_REPORT_TYPE?> and <?param@begin:pd_week_ending_date?><?xdofx:to_char(to_date(replace(substr($pd_week_ending_date,1,10),’/’,’-‘),’YYYY-MM-DD’),’MM/DD/YY’)?> .
I am getting the values in my report which is generated from this concurrent program. But I am not getting these values in my bursting output file which is generated from that previous concurrent program.
Thanks in advance....

The same exact video played back perfecly fine 2 weeks ago. The same project too, with no changes at all. I have a Nvida card too and have made no changes to that either. Not sure everything worked a couple weeks ago. Then every once in a while I started having issues, but I could just close and reopen the project and it would be OK. Now, I can't get any vieo at all. If I double click in the monitor box the frame I am on pops up but nothing plays, I just get one frame while audio plays with no issue.

Can Flex make a Design Tool with a quality output file?

Hi there,
I have a team of developers working on a web-based design tool for a large-format print shop. They built the prototype on a Flex platform and used ImageMagick to handle text and image effects.
Unfortunately, ImageMagick cannot produce the quality of output file we need for our products (prints up to 3 ft by 6 ft / 1m x 2m). It rasterizes all of the design objects, including text and vector clipart.
Is it possible for Flex to handle all of these elements (object rotation, scale changes, etc.) and output a final design to high quality PDF or AI files without ImageMagick?
I'm just not sure if my developers are missing something or if they're just not communicating the technical challenges involved in creating such large, high quality output files for a custom, web-based application.
Many thanks in advance for any insight!

I'm still not sure I understand what you need. Sounds like the image map is the same for all the pages, but the image itself is different, although the images are the same size on each page. Is that it?
In that case, you could do this in a number of ways, but the best might be -
Make the page have a transparent PNG/GIF image the same size as the map that has the 5 mapped areas defined on it. Make the container for that image have a CSS BACKGROUND image that is the actual map. Specify this CSS background image's path in an embedded stylesheet in the editable region of the head of the page.
With this as the template, all you need to do on each page is to respecify the background image - since the embedded stylesheet is in an editable region that's do-able. In other words the TEMPLATE would be -
<html>
<head>

</head>
<body>
<div id="foo">
     <img width="map_width" height="map_height" src="transparent.png" usemap="#foomap">
<map name="foomap">
</map>
</body>
</html>
The map image can, itself, be in an uneditable region of the page....

How to change XML Header in file

Hi,
How to have the following XML output header XML with simple transformation:
<?xml version="1.0"> encording="ISO-8859-1"?>
When I used the following transformation template:
<tt:transform xmlns:tt="http://www.sap.com/transformation-templates">
I get the following output header and file is not readable.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16" ?>
If i call tranformation without encoding option file is creted and readable. Does there is any impact on functionality if file is without header.
Thanks
anya

Hi,
you could use the below alternative solution also as some Web services do not accept the message , if Content type is application/XML in the HTTP Header, it will accept only Text/XML. So While calling the Web service, the content has to be changed, This is possible using Module of the adapter as shown in the screen shot.
HTTP Header field values before using the module
User-Agent: SAP-Messaging-com.sap.aii.messaging/1.0505
content-id: [email protected]
content-type: application/xml
Content-Length: 1280
Module name - localejbs/AF_Modules/MessageTranspormationBean
Type - Local Enterprise Bean Module - This is defined by the user, but the same name should be given in the module configuration for passing the parameters. In this case transform In the module configuration ,
Module key - In this case transform
Parameter name - Transform.ContenType
Parameter Value - text/xml;charset=utf-8
Here you could use the required parameters and pass the values....:-))
Thanks

Hi,
You can view upto 512 character in the output.
Check out the PROGRAM statement of Program PROGRAM rswatch0 (Transaction AL11).
PROGRAM rswatch0 MESSAGE-ID s1 NO STANDARD PAGE HEADING LINE-SIZE 512.
Thats the reason why u can see more that 512 characters.
You can download the data to ur internal table and check that data is still there.
