How to pick files from multiple directories via Sender File Adapter?

Hi guys,
I have a scenario File to IDOC. The Sender File Adapter has to take all files: .xml from Source directory E://Current/.
Actually directories are like
E:/Plant1/Current/
E:/Plant1/History/
E:/Plant2/Current/
E:/Plant2/History/.
Can I have one Sender File Adapter to pick all *.xml files
from
E:/Plant1/Current/ and
E:/Plant2/Current/ and how can I write it in Source Directory of Communication Channel?
Or do I have to have a Sender File Adapter for each Plant?
Any suggestion please?
Kind regards,
Danijela Zivanovic

Hey
You might wanna have a look at "Additional selection for source file" parameter in sender file adapter.

Multiple source files from multiple directories in sender CC

Dear all,
My requirrement is that ,I need to use multiple directories in sender CC (only one) and send the files to receivers.
Kindly let me know how it can be done.
Thanks,
Srinivasa

Hi,
under advanced tab.............If you set the Enable indicator, you can enter variables for the Target Directory and File Name Scheme. Enter the names of the variables and references in the table.
●      Enter each variable that you reference in the Target Directory and File Name Scheme fields without the surrounding percentage sign under Name of Variables in the table.
The variables can refer to attributes of the message header or elements of the message payload.
○       If the variables are to refer to an attribute of the message header, add the prefix message: to the name of the variable under Reference. You can specify the following attributes of the 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 you want to specify the interface name from the message header in the target directory or in the file name scheme, enter message:interface_name as the reference.
If one of the message attributes contains characters that are not permitted in a file name, for example \, /, :, *, ?, ", <, >, |, then these characters are replaced by an underscore ("_").
○       If the variable refers to an element in XML schema, add 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,....
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.
To reference the element that is in bold in the example, the following expression is used: payload:root,1,e1,1,e2,2
The parser searches for the first occurrence of the root element at the first level. It then searches for the first occurrence of e1 at the second level and for the second occurrence of e2 at the third level. The content of the last element (“Example Value”) is set as the value for a specified variable.
Thanks,

FILES FROM MULTIPLE DIRECTORIES

Hi Experts,
                I got a doubt here plz clarify it
    1.How can we pick files from multiple directories ? and all the files will have different names?
                Plz clarify this, good explanations willbe rewarded .
                                                                                Regards,

Hi Vinod Reddy,
One way that i know to solve this prob is by using the 'File Name Masking'.
This can be done with the sender channel, where you have to specify the
source directory as <NOTHING>
source file as <NOTHING>
This gives you an advanced selection option, where you need to give the Source Directories along with the File name masks (the source files).
Hope this may solve your problem.

Save file in multiple directories using receiver file adapter?

Hi,
Is it posible to save file in multiple directories using receiver file adapter?
Regards,
Ashish

Well, there is a round about way to do that -
The idea is to use multi mapping. 1:n mapping
1) Map ur message to 2 different record set nodes. Since you want to use the same file both the mapping will look exactly the same. make sure that the filepath and filename are a part of the output payload message
2) In the file adapter config. make sure the the file name and file path are from these payload fields. You can use a context object to refer these fields. Voila...the files are created in the 2 direcoties you mentioned.
of course the simplest way is to route the same message to 2 business systems/services and write them out using 2 ccs.,

File Adapter: picking files from multiple directories

Hi all,
In a sender file communication channel with Transport
Protocol FTP, There are 2 parameters for Picking up the file
called Source Directory and Filename. If I want to pick the
files from 2 or more directories, What needs to be done.
Or is it possible to do so ?
Without making duplicate interfaces what else can be done ?
Regards,
Vijay

Actually it is possible to select files from different folders for sender channel. It is available with SP14.
I just copy following description from help.sap.com
Advanced Selection for Source File
If you want to set an exclusion mask for the File Name specified above, or if you want to specify multiple directories using a file name mask and exclusion mask, set the Advanced Selection for Source File indicator.
¡ Specify an Exclusion Mask for the file name specified above.
Example
You want to process all files that have the extension '.txt', but want to exclude all files that begin with the letter 'a'. To do this, enter .txt for File Name, and a for Exclusion Mask.
¡ You can enter additional specifications for source directories, file names, and exclusion masks in the table. This data is processed in addition to the details specified above.

Suppose you have one File Server installed (say SAP).....it has only two sub-folders (say XI and PI)....now you want to pick files from both the sub-folders....so you can try SAP/* ........
Please open your File Server location and any sub-folder within it and check if it is / or \ .....and then use the slash (/ or \) accordingly ......if you have IP and no name then give the IP.....rest logic remains the same....

Hy to all! I have a little problem with reading files from a hierarchy of directories,something like this: directory A contains: 4 filed and directory B, and also B contains 3 files and 2 directories and so on. i want to make a method that reads all the files from directory A (including all files from subdirectory). I know i have to use recursive programming, i need a method that will be use to do this. Can U help me to do this????? Thank you all.

Can U help me to do this?Sure. First, review basic File IO in Java: [http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/essential/io/file.html]
Second, have a look at the numerous examples available on the Internet: [http://www.google.com/search?q=java+traverse+directory]

Batch Script to display last modified file from multiple directories

Hello,
I am trying to find the name of the latest file or the last modified file from a set of given directories.
I approached the problem by breaking it into two parts: a. read all the directories from a .txt file and display the names of those directories and files under those directories. b. Find the latest file present in any given directory and
Upto this point all worked well, but when I am trying to combine both these batch scripts, I am unable to get the desired result.
I am using BATCH SCRIPT only to complete this.
My tried script is as below:
a. TO SEE ALL THE DIRECTORIES SPECIFIED IN "path_123.txt" FILE
for /f "delims=" %%i in ('type "C:\Users\sonkar\Desktop\path_123.txt" ') do (set locall=%%i
echo %locall%
echo %%i
b. TO FIND THE LATEST FILE PRESENT IN THE DIRECTORY
set BUILDDROP="E:\"
for /f "tokens=*" %%a in ('dir /A:-D /B /O:-D %BUILDDROP%') do set NEWEST=%%a&& goto :next
:next
echo %NEWEST%
But when combining both is not working at all.
Any help is appreciated.

Since batch files lack the ability to do date arithmetic you are pushing them well beyond their limits. Either VBScript of PowerShell could handle this type of task. Here is a VBScript solution. You must save the code in a .vbs file, then modify it to suit
your exact needs.

[SOLVED]Copying multiple files from multiple directories to one folder

Title says it all. I have a discography folder with subfolders of the different years and albums of a band each containing music, some also have more sub folders. What I want to do is copy all of the music (.mp3's) from all the folders and sub folders into just one music folder. I found a find and -exec cp command before but it did absolutely nothing for whatever reason. Perhaps I did it wrong. Can anyone help me?
Thanks
Last edited by SiegeMachine (2009-11-15 06:54:40)

. refers to the directory to search (the current directory), it's not a pattern - here's what you want:
find . -iname '*.mp3' -type f -exec cp {} target_dir/ \;
This is assuming you're in the music directory - if not, you want
find /path/to/music -iname '*.mp3' -type f -exec cp {} target_dir/ \;

Delete multiple files from multiple locations using config file

Hello All,
I am fairly new to .net and I have to make a windows application to delete files older than 90 days from multi ple locations. these multiple locations cant be hard coded and have to be configurable, also the number of days to delete the files have to be
configurable.
I think the answer to this would be an app.config file. but dont know how to use the same.
can anyone tell me about this and if possible help me out with a code snippet.?

Add settings like picture below. Add the string by press the double dot icon.
The use the code below
static void Main(string[] args)
int deleteDays = Properties.Settings.Default.DeleteDays;
StringCollection folders = Properties.Settings.Default.Folders;
foreach (string folder in folders)
DirectoryInfo info = new DirectoryInfo(folder);
FileSystemInfo[] deleleteFiles = info.EnumerateFiles()
.Where(x => x.LastWriteTime < DateTime.Today.AddDays(deleteDays))
.ToArray() ;
foreach(FileSystemInfo file in deleleteFiles)
File.Delete(file.FullName);

Cant create adobe files from multiple excel or word files

This is the first time I have placed anything on this forum so please forgive me if I am in the wrong p
lace. I have been frustrated by an error message I get when I try to convert multiple excel files or word files to
PDF. The files exist on a network location, and when I select 5 or 6 at random
and then right click and choose "Convert to PDF", the operation bombs with a message that reads:
"The file you selected does not contain any data (zero length file). Please select another file." I can
not find anything on this on Adobe's website, or google. I used to d
o it fine until a few days ago, now it won't convert and I get the above message. Anybody have any idea? I a
m using Windows XP SP3 and Office 2007 SP1. Thanks
Steve Szabo

I can copy these files to the local drive and do the operation fine. I can also convert files that are already on the hard drive.
Just cannot convert the ones that are in the network location. I used to be able to do it, but not now.

Retrive files from multiple source directories

Hi,
I need to retrive diffirent formet files from multiple directories and based on file name I need to send it to destination folders. Can anybody suggest me How can I impliment this interface.
Thanks & Regards
VenkatK

Venkat,
I hope since you are taking different format files, you are not doing any mapping. You are moving from one location to another location, because if you different formats then you can do in one mapping your requirement.
If it is correct then as shabharish mentioned you can pick the files using multiple file sender adapters. With this you can pick the files, but to send to different directories enable ASMA in sender file commkunication channel. Then in receiver communication check the extension for each format and then give the directory name so that it routes to the destination you mentioned.
