How to Retrieve a Crystal Report's Unmanaged Destination Filename

Question

Hi all,
I have looked very closely at Robert Twigg's response to the post "[Destination Path and name of a scheduled Report|http://forums.sdn.sap.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9588160#9588160]" dated 9/1/10 and while it does retrieve the unmanaged destination path, the filename retrieved is the managed filename.  How does one go about retrieving an instance's unmanaged filename?
When I look at a Crystal Report instance details, it definitely knows what the unmanaged filename that was populated, here is a sample instance detail:
External Destination: File copy the instance with the filename: "ALOG_Deferred_Clearing_RPT_2011-12-13-11-43-09.pdf" to the folder: "/apps/efs_bobj/IMPL/XX" .
As you can clearly see, the filename consists of report name, date, and time that was specified as "%SI_NAME%_%SI_STARTTIME%.%EXT%" in the destination filename.
Here's the snippet to retrieve the managed filename:
IInfoObject report = (IInfoObject) reports.get(0);
// Get the file name from the instance.
IFiles files = (IFiles) report.getFiles();
IFile file = (IFile) files.get(0);
Any insight on how to retrieve an instance's unmanaged filename would be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Hart Penn

Answer 1

Thank you for your response.  I am querying for the report instances using the query below:
IInfoObjects iRptObjects = infoStore.query("SELECT * FROM CI_INFOOBJECTS " +
                                           "Where SI_KIND='Pdf' AND " +
                                           "SI_INSTANCE>0 ");
Collection<IInfoObject> iRptObjs = iRptObjects;
for (IInfoObject iRptObj : iRptObjs) {
    ISchedulingInfo iSchedInfo = iRptObj.getSchedulingInfo();
    IEvents triggerEvents = iSchedInfo.getDependants();
    if (triggerEvents.size() > 0) {
        for (int j=0; j < triggerEvents.size(); j++) {
            IInfoObjects events = (IInfoObjects)infoStore.query("SELECT * FROM CI_SYSTEMOBJECTS " +
                                                                "Where SI_KIND='Event' AND " +
                                                                "SI_ID=" + (Integer) triggerEvents.get(j));
            if (events.size() > 0) {
                IEvent curEvent = (IEvent)events.get(0);
    IDestinationPlugin destPlugin =
        (IDestinationPlugin) infoStore.query("Select Top 1* from CI_SYSTEMOBJECTS " +
                                             "Where SI_NAME = 'CrystalEnterprise.DiskUnmanaged'").get(0);
    IDestinations dests = iSchedInfo.getDestinations();
    Collection<IDestination> destObjs = dests;
    if (dests.size() > 0) {
        // we have a dest set up
        for (IDestination destObj : destObjs) {
            if (destObj.getName().compareTo("CrystalEnterprise.DiskUnmanaged") == 0) {
                // Copy the destination properties to the destination plugin.
                destObj.copyToPlugin(destPlugin);
                // Get the scheduling options for the unmanaged disk.
                IDiskUnmanagedOptions diskUnmanagedOptions =
                    (IDiskUnmanagedOptions) destPlugin.getScheduleOptions();
                // Get the destination files
                List destFiles = diskUnmanagedOptions.getDestinationFiles();
                String pathName = (String)destFiles.get(0);
    IFiles iFiles = (IFiles) iRptObj.getFiles();
    IFile myFile = (IFile) iFiles.get(0);
    logger.debug("Object: " + iRptObj.getTitle() +
                 ", ID: " + iRptObj.getID() +
                 ", Kind: " + iRptObj.getKind() +
                 ", Trigger Event: " + curEvent.getEventName());
    logger.debug("Dest: " + pathName);
    logger.debug("Filename: " + myFile.getName());
while this is not efficient, it does retrieve the instances. However, the file name returned is not what was specified in the destination filename. Here is some info returned and displayed:
Object: ALOG_Deferred_Clearing_RPT, ID: 128776, Kind: Pdf, Trigger Event: EVT_121311_114308
Dest: /apps/efs_bobj/IMPL/XX/%SI_NAME%_%SI_STARTTIME%.%EXT%
FileName: ~ce46086dd492ac788.pdf
As you can see, the filename is clearly the managed filename.
