How do we enable Variable Substitution during Contract Generation

Hello experts,
I am working with the Contract Generation Variable Library and according to some of the Help documents, it is possible on the Contract Tokens to override the default values during Contract Generation.
I am not sure why, but on our system, this function doesnt seem to work.
So for eg, if my token "Valid From" picks up the value from the system, it becomes non-editable.
Effective Date | <%Agreement.EffectiveDate%> | 26-08-10
I would like to override the value 26-08-10 before the Document is generated.
Please let me know if anyone has faced this problem before and found a solution.
Thanks & Regards,
Reshma

I kept searching through MSDN and found a page that describes SqlPackage.exe (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh550080(v=vs.103).aspx). This page says that SQLCMD variables
can be specified on the command line.
"SqlPackage.exe initiates the
actions specified using the parameters, properties, and SQLCMD variables specified on the command line."
The page does not describe the syntax for specifying SQLCMD variables nor whether values specified on the command line overwrite any values in the .dacpac file. Can somebody confirm that specifying SQLCMD variable values on the command line will overwrite
any values included in the .dacpac at build-time?

How to enable variable substitution?

Hi,
I'm looking for some note that guides you how to enable variable substitution to create Target Directory/File Name Scheme at runtime.
Do you have some helpful tip?
Best regards,
Gerardo.
PS. i'll post reward points.

hi,
if you upgreaded you need to do: (to see new adapter functinality)
3. I can't see my adapters in the adater monitoring after the import of a new SP
a) try reimporting "SAP Basis software component"
b) take a look at the XI installation guide on how to do it: "Importing the XI Content for Software Component Version SAP Basis 6.40"
from SAP XI FAQ
BTW
but don't use varible substitution ! 
use adapter specific messages - much easier, better

Filename generation with variable substitution.

Hi,
I am currently working on a senerio in which file is receiver.The requirement is to generate file at target with the file name as message id.How can i use VARIABLE SUBSTITUTION and acheive this.
(Add message id in configuration should not be done.)

Hello shruthi,
              Please try this for the filename creation,
1. Create a UDF in the message mapping named getFileName, select only one input (to pass the messageid) and paste this coding there;
/* getFileName User Defined Function
// function to create name of output file
String filename;
filename = strFile;
try {
// initialize DynamicConfiguration for create file with given name
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container
       .getTransformationParameters()
       .get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create( "http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File", "FileName");
//create file with the specified name
conf.put(key, filename);
} catch (Exception ex) {
return filename;
2. In the target structure header field perform this mapping,
Messageid -> getfFileName UDF -> Target Structure Headerfield
3. Then in the Integration directory under the target tab
check the Use - adapter specific message attributes and File Name
Please follow the steps and let me know if u still face the same problem.

How we can mention varible substitution for diffrent message payloads

Hi,
How we can mention varible substitution for diffrent message payloads,
My sceanrio like following,
According the Outbound idoc message,based on the condition the messages to be split into 9 diffrent files.The sender message may or may not satisfied the condition to one or two messages or all messages.
I done the mapping 1:N multimapping in messagemapping & Interface mapping too.
In reciever file adapter i put the variable substiution like as fallows.
Variable Refrence
Name-- -
Filename -- payload:message_type_1,1,Segment1,1,Segment2,1,Field_1,1
How we can mention variable substitution for remaining messages in the same communication channel.my message type names are diffrent for all 9 messagetypes. Any ideas pl forward..,
When i am testing this scenario,able to processing a one file but the file is not placed in the specified target & gives the follwing error:
'Conversion configuration error: Unknown structure 'ns1:message_type_2' found in document', probably configuration error in file adapter (XML parser error)'.The file is
In this case Idoc data satisfied the one message condition only.
If any ideas & suggestions ..?

Hi Anjan
You could always put the "FileName" and "Directory" names into the Dynamic Configuration using a UDF in the map - possibly using a value mapping table to determine the correct values. Then simply reference "%Directory%" and "%FileName%" in the file adapter. This way you do not have to reference payload variables and you set the names in the map. You will need to tick the box for "use adapter specific message attributes" in the file adapter. you UDF code will look something like
String dir = "/path";
String fil = "filename.txt";
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration)container.getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File","Directory");
conf.put(key,dir);
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File","FileName");
conf.put(key,fil);

How to acces the filename from Message Header during variable substitution

Hi,
We need to access the attribute filename from Message Header during Variable Substitution.We are able to access the following attributes of 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 we want to specify the interface name from the message header in the target directory or in the file name scheme, we enter message:interface_name as the reference.
In the same way i need to access the filename which we get in the Message Header(which we get in the Message Header when we check the Adaptor specific message properties and filename in sender CC).Any suggestions on the same
Thanks and Regards,

Hi Bhargav,
Use this UDF to retreive the file name from the Dynamic Configuration Payload in the mapping.
getFileName(UDF) -
> Filename(node in the target structure).
public String getFileName(Container container)
   //write your code here
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container.getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File","FileName");
String ourSourceFileName = conf.get(key);
return ourSourceFileName;
Create a node in the target structure top hold the filename returned by the UDF.
Now your payload will have the filename along with the actual data.
U can use the variable substution now as u use for the other data in the payload since the filename is now a part of your payload.

Variable Substitution - How do I use a segment atribute ?

Hi all, I'm facing a problem with variable substitution in receiver comunication channel.
I got the follow message:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<lote nro="000262007">
<etc>...</etc>
</lote>
I want to get atribute nro from segment lote to use in variable substitution, how can I do it?

Variable sucstitution doesnt allow a way to achieve this.
There could be some workarounds
1. Use some dummy element in ur xml message with same value as tht of the attribute.
2. Use adapter specific message attributes or dynamic file name functionality

Error during variable substitution: idoc to file

Hi Friends,
I have a got a issue which is Idoc to file scenario.
Iam getting the following error.
Attempt to process file failed with com.sap.aii.adapter.file.configuration.DynamicConfigurationException: Error during variable substitution: com.sap.aii.adapter.file.varsubst.VariableDataSourceException: The following variable was not found in the message payload: date_processing
Could you please tell me waht could be the reason for the same?
as per my analysis, I observed that the field date_processing has been declared

Hi Sandeep ,
If the variable date_processing refers to an element in XML schema, Please check if you have added 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,....
Where 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.
Also please check

Security Violation during PATH Variable Substitution

Hi -
I' m trying to write a file with the receiver file adapter by the variable substitution feature from SP12 on.
Whereas the %filename% variable works fine, I get for the %path% variable an exception in the adapter engine, whenever I'm trying either
- to use an absolute path like "/tmp" or
- composed pathnames like "tmp/test" (that are based on $XIHOME/j2ee/cluster/server0)
Non-composed pathnames like $XIHOME/j2ee/cluster/server0/tmp by setting %path% to "tmp" work also.
Any clue?
I'm on AIX on SP12.
Here is the exception:
java.text.ParseException: Security violation encountered during variable substitution: Content of variable path is not safe
Thanks.
Stefan

Hi Stefan,
did you check the flag 'Disable Security Checks' in the communication channel?

How to use attributes in variable substitution???:(

Hi all,
Could you please help me out in how to use attributes in variable substitution....
Regards,
Sundar

Hi,
Use Adapter Specific Identifiers , instead of Variable Name substitution.
Sender File adapter --> Adapter Specific Attributes --> Select File Name
Reciver File Adapter -->Adapter Specific Attributes --> Select File Name
In the mapping , use this code in an UDF to change the filename to what you want,
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container.getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File","FileName");
String filename="YOURFILENAME";
String rSourceFileName = conf.put(key,filename);

How to enable dump file during OSD?

Hello,
I'm having an issue with a line of Dell laptops getting stuck in a reboot loop after the first reboot of our OSD task sequence, which is an SCCM 2012 SP1/MDT 2012 Update 1 Client Task Sequence.
After it lays down the OS and reboots for the first time, we get a BSOD. There is no DMP file at C:\Windows\Minidump. How can I enable the minidump or get the BSOD to stay on the screen if I can't get into the OS to make those changes?
How do I enable these features in WinPE?

First see http://blog.nirsoft.net/2010/07/27/how-to-configure-windows-to-create-minidump-files-on-bsod/
The bottom section cites the registry value to update.
You can directly enable this in your image or during the TS using the technique outlined under the
Full Windows OS - Operating System Image section
at
http://blogs.technet.com/b/system_center_configuration_manager_operating_system_deployment_support_blog/archive/2012/01/23/when-deploying-windows-server-2008-using-an-configuration-manager-osd-task-sequence-additional-disks-may-show-as-offline-when-the-task-sequence-completes.aspx (note
the problem discusses there is completely different and has nothing to do with this thread, but the technique of loading the offline registry hive, changing a value, and then unloading the registry hive is valid and applicable).

Variable substitution in XI (7.0 version).

Maybe you could give us a short hint regarding an error we are getting during the variable substituion in an outbound file adapter.
How can we specify a namespace in the variable substituion?
Without namespace this is working well, but we don't know how to specify the namespace.
We get this error essage: #2006-03-17 15:29:07 CET: Message processing failed: Error during
variable substitution:com.sap.aii.adapter.file.varsubst.VariableDataSourceException: The following variable was not found in the message payload: FileName
Here comes our file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>

<GMFileHeader> <StoreNumber>0000002101</StoreNumber> <FileName>PluTxn</FileName> </GMFileHeader> <UpdateType>1</UpdateType> <PLU>000000000000610733</PLU> <RetailPrice>0.99</RetailPrice> <QuantityDescription>BX</QuantityDescription> </ns1:GMPluTxn>
We set the flag 'enable variable subsitution' and specified the filename
variable as follows:
FileName payload:ns1:GMPluTxn,1,GMFileHeader,1,FileName,1
The FileName variable is used in the File Name Scheme field:
%FileName%.asc
Thanks in advance.

Give it like this and see if it works
FileName payload:GMPluTxn,1,GMFileHeader,1,FileName,1
