How to append Target File(reciever side) .

Hi PI Gurus,
I have a scenario where i need to append the target file. It goes like this:
files(idoc's) keep coming from the source at any time of the day.
target file is sent only once in a day. The target file is appended each time a new source file recieved.
Need to do this without using BPM.
Pls help me out.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Pankaj,
Kindly go through the following link which will help you surely:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwpi711/helpdata/en/44/6830e67f2a6d12e10000000a1553f6/content.htm
In the receiver file adapter, go to the Processing tab page. Then Select the File Construction Mode as Append. Look at the link for the other configurations in the adapter.
You can also take a look at the scenario 2 in the following link:

How to append a file in a trigger?

I'm writing from a table to a file, and have created a trigger that works great...however, I need to append the file so it doesn't overwrite the file every time the trigger fires.
Here's the code...but I can't figure out how to append the file instead of just write to the file:
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER checkout_trg
AFTER UPDATE OF movie_qty ON mm_movie
FOR EACH ROW
DECLARE
fh UTL_FILE.FILE_TYPE;
BEGIN
IF :NEW.movie_qty=0 THEN
fh:=UTL_FILE.FOPEN('ORA_FILES','chekcout.txt','w');
UTL_FILE.PUT_LINE(fh, 'Date: '||sysdate||', Movie ID: '||:NEW.movie_id||', Quantity: '||:NEW.movie_qty);
UTL_FILE.FCLOSE(fh);
END IF;
END;

> It's for an assignment...I think thye're just trying to show us what's possible.
Just as it is possible to show a learner driver to jump a red light, drive on the wrong side of the road, or do doughnuts in an intersection...
But none of this will make that learner driver a good driver. Never mind able to correctly handle high performance cars on the professional circuit.
Sorry mate - what they are showing/teaching you is pure bs. A trigger is not the "same thing" as a callback event in client programming.
And feel free to give them this URL and tell them that I think they are full of it. Let's see how they defend their non-real world, totally irrelevant and wrong assignments in this very forum.

How to open PSD file recieved via email on iPad using Photoshop Touch without Creative Cloud?

Hi, how to open PSD file recieved via email on iPad using Photoshop Touch without the need of using Creative Cloud? Thanks.

Hi Super Nemo
Currently the only way to open psd files on Photoshop touch is via the creative cloud. Also, the layers you created from Photoshop on your desktop machine will be flattened when opened with Photoshop touch on your iPad. But you can retain the layers from the touch app when opening the psdx file on your desktop photoshop.

there is no standard way to achieve this. I suggest a redesign.
post the files to a different directory and write a script which will move the file to the required target directory only if it is not present there.

How to append to files

Hey all I have made a few custom JS scripts that modify default behavior of a few RoboHelp functions, this works nicely however I have to manually include the JS file on every page. So my question is this; how do I programmatically append my script tags to the bottom of each page ether at build time or as a RoboHelp Scrip?
Thanks

There are two ways to do this (depending on your RoboHelp version)
1. Add the JS to the footer of a master page and assign the master page on generation. (In the SSL settings.)
2. Use the afterPublish event to run a script automatically whenever an output was generated. See Using the new RoboHelp 10 scripting events | Adobe Developer Connection for an introduction.
Kind regards,

How to append recorded files.

Two questions.
I am using adobe dvrcast to record my live streams. the problem I am having is when I stop the encode during a live stream, a new file is not created, the existing stream is written over. How can I preventive this from occuring.
Is there a way to have all vod files that are in one folder to roll over to the next file during play back.

Thanks for the quick response. I am using FMLE 3 and FMS 3.5. I have changed the code per your suggestion. However, the file still does not append when i press the stop button in FMLE. After pressing stop, when I press start button in FMLE again, the file size starts at zero.
here is my code: ExDVRStream.asc

FileOutputStream has a constructor that allows you to open a file for appending:
FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream("myfile.xml", true);But "appending" means that you can only add new data to the end of the file. There is no way to insert new data somewhere in the middle. If that's what you want to do, you need to make a program that opens the original file, copies the data until the point where you want to insert something to a new output file, insert the new data, and copy the rest of the original file.

How to repost the file while getting an error

Hi
Friends , this is shalini shah.
Iam facing one problem from sender side(i.e file ) iam already send two files to IDOC,
now one more file is sending to XI, here i faced problem.the third file got an error,
it will be not posted to XI, so how to repost the file(sender side).
i think do the same procedure from scratch(date types ,messagetypes,and message inteface)it is correct or not.
please reply, thanks in advance.
Regards
Shalini shah

Hi Shalini,
You can resend it from Runtime work bench,while monitoring.
If you rectify the problem.
Ex: If any configuration mistakes can be altered and resend it again.
OR
If Data it self is wrong ,then change the data and Activate the scenario.
Need not to do it from the scratch..

Ramesh.

How do i add time and date to target file

hello,
1. When do we generally go for FCC?
2. Is it possible to assign field seperator without FCC on the reciever side file adapter?
3. how do I add timestamp as well as DATE to the target file?
thnks
venkat

Hi venkat
1. When do we generally go for FCC?
    we can do the FCC at sender side as well as at the receiver side.
    Sender side: we do the FCC at the sender side only if we are getting a flat file   from the sender, and so that it can be understand by the XI,because XI can understand only the XML.
     Receiver side:we do the FCC at the receiver side only if the receiver requires the flat file.
2. Is it possible to assign field seperator without FCC on the reciever side file adapter?
no, it is not possible.
3. how do I add timestamp as well as DATE to the target file?
if you want to add date and time in the target file for this you have to select the parameter
File Construction Mode* : AddTimeStamp
in the processing parameters of the file adapter(Receiver).
Thanks

How to merge/append two files in sequence using BPM

Hi All,
My senario is to append two files data into a new file on target system, only if the two files are available on source system. In case one file on the source system, no need to process file. Data in the new file should be in sequence means 1st file data then 2nd file data.
Please suggest me how can i achieve this functionality using BPM.
Thanks & Regards
Sreeni

For the first part (two files required) design as per Prateek's suggestion
Data in the new file should be in sequence means 1st file data then 2nd file data.
create a data structure which will be a combined structure of File1 and File2....target structure should have first reference for File1 and then for FIle2....than having two MTs (File1 and File2) at the source and the target MT at the receiver create your mapping......this will ensure that File1 data occures first and then File2 data.
Regards,
Abhishek.

Batch combine files into one illustrator document - how to open target document?

I am making a script which will:
1) Open a folder of Illustrator files
2) Open each file in the folder (these files are called the source files)
3) Select all the contents of the source file
4) Copy the contents of the source file
5) Paste these contents into a target file as a new layer
6) Ensure the new layer has the same name as the old source file
However, I don't know how to tell Illustrator where my target file is. How can I do this?
Also, when I paste, how can I turn off paste rembers layers. (So the layers get pasted into the new layer that has the same name as the old document).
Here is my code:
// JavaScript Document
//Set up vairaibles
var destDoc, sourceDoc, sourceFolder;
// Select the source folder.
sourceFolder = Folder.selectDialog('Select the folder with Illustrator files that you want to mere into one', '~');
// If a valid folder is selected
if (sourceFolder != null) {
          files = new Array();
          // Get all files matching the pattern
          files = sourceFolder.getFiles();
          if (files.length > 0) {
                    // Get the destination to save the files
                    destDoc = document.selectDialog('Select the final saved document', '~');
                    for (i = 0; i < files.length; i++) {
                              sourceDoc = app.open(files[i]); // returns the document object
                              var myLayers = sourceDoc.layers; // All layers in Active Document
                              //Go through all layers of source document and copy artwork
                              for (i = 0; i < myLayers.length; i++) {
                                        myLayers[i].hasSelectedArtwork = true;
                              with(sourceDoc) {
                                        var count = pageItems.length;
                                        for (var i = 0; i < count; i++) {
                                                  pageItems[i].selected = true;
                                        redraw();
                                        copy();

                              var title = title.substring(0, title.length - 4); //(remove extension from name)
                              //Close the Source Document
                              sourceDoc.close(SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES);
                              //Open the Destination Document and create a new layer in it that is named after the title variation

                              destDoc = app.paste();
          else {
                    alert('No matching files found');
Thanks in advance for any help
Edit: Also, when pasting, how can I paste in place instead of just pasting.

I have been studying this script. It is similar to what I need except it places the source files (Instead of copying & pasting them)
http://kelsocartography.com/blog/?p=204
I have adapted the script to my needs and it works perfectly, except it has the same problem as before: It pastes the first source file, but then it endlessly starts pasting the second source file (in a loop) and so I have to force quit.
So my new question is, when looping through files how can you get illustrator to move on the next one?
The original kelsocartography had this line:
thisPlacedItem = newLayer.placedItems.add()
thisPlacedItem.file = imageList[i];
I belive this line is what makes Illustrator move onto the next file, but I am not sure how to adapt it to my code.
Here is my code so far:
function getFolder() {
          return Folder.selectDialog('Please select the folder to be imported:', Folder('~'));
function importFolderAsLayers(selectedFolder) {
          // if a folder was selected continue with action, otherwise quit
          var myDocument;
          if (selectedFolder) {
                    myDocument = app.documents.add();
                    var firstImageLayer = true;
                    var newLayer;
                    var thisPlacedItem;
                    // create document list from files in selected folder
                    var documentList = selectedFolder.getFiles();
                    for (var i = 0; i < documentList.length; i++) {
                              // open each document in file list
                              if (documentList[i] instanceof File) {
                                        // get the file name
                                        var fName = documentList[i].name.toLowerCase();
                                        var sourceDoc = app.open(documentList[i]); // returns the document object
                                        var myLayers = sourceDoc.layers; // Select All layers in Active Document
                                        //Go through all layers of source document and copy artwork
                                        for (i = 0; i < myLayers.length; i++) {
                                                  myLayers[i].hasSelectedArtwork = true;
                                        with(sourceDoc) {
                                                  var count = pageItems.length;
                                                  for (var i = 0; i < count; i++) {
                                                            pageItems[i].selected = true;
                                                  redraw();
                                                  copy();
                                                  for (var i = 0; i < count; i++) {
                                                            pageItems[i].selected = false;
                                        //Create a new title variable that has the title of the source document
                                        var title = sourceDoc.name;
                                        var title = title.substring(0, title.length - 4); //(remove extension from name)

How to append records in a file, through file adapter.

Hi All,
How to append records in a file, through file adapter.
I have to read data from database and need to append all records in a file.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi,
I think you have a while loop to hit the DB in your Process (As you said you have to fetch data from DB 10 times if 1000 rec are there)
First sopy your DB O/P to one var
and from second time append to previous data.(Otherwise you can directly use append from starting instead of copy and append)
When loop completes you can transform to File adapter Var.
Otherwise you can configure yourFileadapter such that it will aapend current records to previous records.
You can use 'Append= true' in your file adapter wsdl.
It will append previous records to current records in the same file.

How to create variable record length target file in SAP BODS

Hi All
I have a requirement to create target file which will have various record layout; meaning different record length (similar to cobol file format), but this is for the target. Please let me know what is the best practice and how to solution this requirment.
Thanks
Ash

Hi Shiva,
Thanks for your feedback. My issue is that I have 10 different detail records (each record type is fixed length).
For each customer account, I have to write to file the header record, the detail records in the exact order, then continue with next account and so on and then write the trailer record. I have given sample layout below. Highlighted text is the record identifier in this exmaple while the underlineds are account numbers. Fields are fixed length right padded with space or 0.
