How to store the File Name from a Unix Directory into a ODI variable?

Hi,
I have built a ODI package with the following steps:
1. ODI is polling for a flat file in a Unix directory. I have used OdiFileWait tool for this purpose. Here the file name is not fixed, so I am using wild character (*) to poll for file. Example: DF*ABC1*.DAT where the first wild character denotes 1 letter and the second wild character denotes 2 digits.
2. In the second step, if the file is found, I am moving the file to ODI file server path (../oracledi/demo/file). Here I have used ODIFileMove tool.
3. Then I am using an ODI Interface to Load the file data into a Oracle database table.
4. I am using a Process log table to keep the log for each step I am executing in ODI that is ODIFileWait, ODIFileMove, Interface etc. for each file. In this table a row needs to be inserted after ODIFileWait tool gets the file, with the File Name and File Date. Later on this row will be updated as the consequent steps are executed.
Here is my concern, I need to get the exact File Name of the file after ODIFileWait gets the file and I need to insert that in the Process Log table after the ODIFileWait step gets a file. So if I can store the File Name in a ODI Variable, I can insert it into the Process log table at this point. This I am not able to do.
The files are coming in a different directory (not in ODI file server path), So after getting the file it is moved to ODI file server path (../oracledi/demo/file)
The Files which I am processing are fixed length format. Also, the File name and File Date is stored in the 1st Record(Header record) of the files.
Kindly provide me suggestions to implement this in my code.
Thanks and Regards,
Anik

Look at this link -http://odiexperts.com/getting-one-or-several-unknown-files-from-a-directory
change the command to fetch the ls command and write into File and then using either java or jython break the data and fetch the file name and date and insert into log table.
(or)
you can use the os.system command and get the complete ls command into string and then process and insert it.
Let us know if you need any other help.

How to get the file name from downloads folder with the applescript??

Hi All..
I am downloading an application to downloads folder, I need to install the same application after downloading programatically.
So how do I get the filename in runtime while downloading or after downloading from downloads folder with Applescript or Java?
Also my download URL link doesnot contain full name of the download file.
Pls suggest.

Hi,
The best method is to use curl.
Other methods are not reliable, but can work, it depends on several factors (what the script does, what the user does).
Here is an example with the curl command:
set tUrl to "http://sourceforge.net/projects/vlc/files/2.0.4/macosx/vlc-2.0.4.dmg/download?ac cel_key=60%3A1350656196%3Ahttp%253A//www.videolan.org/vlc/download-macosx.html%3 A7233e4e9%245818d66f39b0576e1e9c4a0f3b46b1991180bfdd&click_id=976a88ee-19f7-11e2 -9a21-0200ac1d1d8e&source=accel"
set dFolder to path to downloads folder
tell application "Finder" to set newFolder to (make new folder at dFolder) as string
set f to quoted form of POSIX path of newFolder
do shell script "cd " & f & " && curl -L " & tUrl & " -o 'vlc.dmg'" -- download to file "vlc.dmg"
set downloadedFile to newFolder & "vlc.dmg" --<-- HFS path
--do something with the downloadedFile

How to hide the file name (the bizarre number assigned by the camera) when exporting an image version in aperture from an album. Pl understand I want to keep the file name in the project library version.

how to hide the file name (the bizarre number assigned by the camera) when exporting an image version in aperture from an album. Pl understand I want to keep the file name in the project library version.

Within Aperture you have Images, which are constructed on-the-fly from two files (the Master and the Version). You get an image-format file _only_ when you export an Image. You select the file name (usually a scheme) when you create an image-format file (that is, when you export). Look under "Aperture→Presets→File Naming" for built-in Presets. You can, of course, create your own or customize any provided.
The Preset is applied to only the file newly created by your "export" command. It is not applied to the Image in Aperture (unless you rename your Versions or your Masters).

Retreiving the file names from directory inside another directory from application server

Hi,
I had a problem in retreiving the file names from a directory inside another directory.
I tried using the FM's SUBST_GET_FILE_LIST, RZL_READ_DIR_LOCAL and EPS_GET_DIRECTORY_LISTING
But here I am getting only one directory details.
Actually my file is located a directory inside one more directory and one more directory and inside the files are located.
i.e total 3 directories inside the 3rd one my files are there.
I need to read the latest file name in the directory.
So that i can do some manipulation after getting the file name.
Is there option like OPEN DATASET , READ DATASET and CLOSE DATASET?
Can anyone please let me know How can i acheive this one.

How to retrieve the parameter names from a JSP page ? Urgent Please

Hello,
Can anybody tell me how to retrieve the parameter names from the JSP
page. (without using getParameterNames() method.)
The problem with the getParameterNames() method is I get the Jumbled output.
I need it very badly
With regards
Ananth R
email:[email protected]
[email protected]

Dear duffymo,
My primary intention is to convert the JSP form information into a XML file.
If I do not get the Parameter names in the correct order how can I maintain
tag order in XML file.
For ex: (JSP PAGE VIEW)
Name--
FirstName
MiddleName
LastName
Address--
Street1
Street2
City
Country
&so on
(XML File to be generated)
<Name>
<FirstName>Value</FirstName>
</Name>
<Address>
<street1>value</street1>
</Address>
& so on
If I use getParameterNames() to get all the parameter names(Which form the tag names in the XML file ) the Enumeration object it returns will not be in the same order as the text fields in JSP.From this I can not construct a meaningful XML file.
order means: Order of entry on the page, from top to bottom
That's it
Waiting for your responses

How to insert the file name to column

When user upload the file, in order to avoid the double file name conflict, so I need to change the file name to something else, but I still need save the former file name to some column to download the file with correct file name, I know how to rename and upload file, but I don't know how to catch the file name and save it to some column when using addt insert transaction?

Hi,
As I said earlier, you have to maintain the list of filename's "itemdescr" in different temp file and load it an and when required table instead of checking for round robin functionality. If you are looking forward that oracle sqlldr can able to access the filename as one of the parameter then - it might not possible AFAIK.
else perform the direct insert on the table from sqlclient.

How to Capture the File Names of any extension using ssis

Hello,
Can you please let me know on how to Capture the File Names of any extension(EG : xls,text,.csv etc) at a time and stores in excel file using SSIS?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Vinay s

If you need to act differently on each file type separately or if not all types of files are wanted, i.e. the Filespecifier cannot be *.* in the Foreach loop:
In the ssis package
make 3 variables:
to store the file extension, e.g. User::CurrentExtension of type string
to store the filename found in the directory: @CurrentFilename
to store the name of the directory where the files reside e.g. User::CurrentDirectory
make a foreach loop of type Foreach Item enumerator:
in the items list you add each file extension that you need
txt
csv
xls
xlsx
As Variable mappings map the CurrentExtension to Index 0
Inside this foreach loop add another foreach loop of type Foreach File enumerator, in the collection Expressions
add Expression Directory , set to @[User::CurrentDirecotry]
add Expression FileSpec, set to "*." + @[User::CurrentFileExtension]
In the Variable mappings, map Variable user::CurrentFilename to Index 0
Inside this loop use Execute SQL Task to insert the filename in a Excel connection.

Hi
Just for completeness, what version of VB.NET are you using?
Here is a complete project to copy all the files with the added "ABL," at the start of each line. You need to start a new Project with a BLANK default Form1, and replace all of Form1 code with the code below. When you run this project, you
need to use the 2 buttons to set up the ORIGINAL file folder and a folder to place the copies. You need to check if the file EXTENSION is correct (I assumed txt), and check the text to add to each line is correct. Once all is set up you should have a
big red button to start the operation.
NOTE: it is important that you try this out on a copy of some of the files to verify accuracy BEFORE trying on original files. Make sure you have a good back up of the original files before doing anything else.

How to find the File name using the FTP Adapter

hi all,
how to find the File name using the FTP Adapter with BPEL.
Regards

Found the solution for this.
First In the mediator's routing rule use assign property $in.property.jca.file.FileName to $out.property.jca.file.FileName
In the BPEL's receive activity go to the properties tab and get the property to a BPEL variable. That should do it.
Thanks for the posts

How to include the file name as an XML field

Hi,
I'm using a file adapter for process a flat file and convert it into an XML. Does anybody knows how to include the file name into an XML field.
Ex.
I process the file named XXIMN21022007.txt and I need an XML like:
<MT_FILE>
<field1></field1>
<field2></field2>
<field3></field3>
<filename>XXIMN21022007.txt</filename>
</MT_FILE>
Regards
Gonzalo

Just go for dynamic configuration.
Check the sender file adapter to write the filename in the header (as explained in Michal's blog) and then read that header in some mapping.
U can use that even in simple message mappings.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/43/03612cdecc6e76e10000000a422035/frameset.htm
Your code for the filename tag would be something like:
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container
 .getTransformationParameters()
 .get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create(
 http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File,
 FileName);
return conf.get(key);
