In comm channel target directory is %variable%.txt

hi,
warm wishes...
if in communication channel target directory is %variable% then what does it mean..
thanks in advance,

Hi,
If you are new to SDN, please read /thread/117188 [original link is broken]
Please do not open multiple threads at the same time and follow up on the answers on your existing threads. Awar points for helpful answers, close your threads and make SDN a better place.
Answering your question, the %variable% is used set the directory name dynamically using the concept of Variable Name Substiution.

Dynamic target directory with variable substitution

Hi everyone.
I'm trying to save a file in a folder with receiver adapter.
This folder is determined in runtime and passed to the adapter with variable substitution. My problem is that in RWB i get a error like this : 'Content of variable XXXXX is not safe'
Does anybody have done a variable substituion for output directory receiver file adapter?

Inigo.

Comm Channel Variable Substitution - Use of wildcards to reference payload

Hi!
I am building a solution to write out tagged / XML IDOCs to a file adapter. I am using variable substitution to build the file name to include the message type, sending partner etc... in the target directory and filename.
Is there a way to wildcard nodes in the variable substitution? For example:
Currently
payload:WMMBID01,1,IDOC,1,EDI_DC40,1,RCVPRN,1
Desired
payload:*,1,IDOC,1,EDI_DC40,1,RCVPRN,1
where * is any wildcard.
Reason is that we have multiple IDOC types and I want to avoid having to create multiple communication channels.
Help appreciate and rewarded. Many thanks, Duncan.

Hi Duncan !
You can create the desired target filename and target directory by using dynamic configuration via java UDF in mapping. This allows you to create a target filename and/or directory based on a string..then you could use only one comm channel.
to access info:
// access dynamic configuration
 DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) param.get(
 StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey KEY_FILENAME = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File","FileName");
 // read value
 String Filename = conf.get(KEY_FILENAME);
// to write value:
conf.put(KEY_FILENAME, "MyNewFileName");

Sender Channel - File Archiving - No Create Target Directory option

Hello,
We are getting an error because our Sender channel is always trying to create the target directory when saving a file in our archive location.
Using a Receiver Channel the option "Create Target Directory" exists, so I can disable that option. Is there a way to disable that option on a Sender Channel when archiving?
Thanks,
Matt

Reviewing the settings available from Help.sap.com says:
"Configure Sender File Adapter"
Under Processing Mode, specify what is to happen to files that have been processed successfully.
u25CB       Archive
u25A0       To add a time stamp to the file name, select Add Time Stamp.
The time stamp has the format yyyMMdd-hhMMss-SSS. The time stamp ensures that the archived files are not overwritten and it enables you to sort them according to the time that they were received.
u25A0       Enter the name of the Archive Directory.
I do not see anything in here that helps clear up this issue.
Also, I have given a target directory. The problem is it still tries to create that directory.
Thanks,
Matt

Unable to convert the file name in Target directory

Dear Experts,
Currently iam facing a problem with some files.my interface is a File to file .As per the interface the sender will pick the flatfiles from source directory which the file name was BNP_NE201.txt once my file reached to target directory the name of the file willrenamed as VENDOR_Payment.NE201 automatically for this they have done some OS level script in receiver communication channel of the first interface which we have added "un operating system command after message processing" in processing parameters tab.again one more sender comm channel wil pick the file from first target directory which is having naming convesion of "VENDOR_Payment.NE201 " and post it to target. all the two interfaces are file to file (NFS) . for a parctuclar day files has been posted to 1 st target directory and the receiver communication channel is not yet convert the file names bcz of that the second communication channel can't able to pick the files from target directory. for some times that is working fine and some times it is unable to convert.
from our side i check every thing .could you please suggest me the way to approch
Reagrs,
Kiran tanuku

You need to wait until the file is converted. After when it is converted then the second interface sender communication channel will pick the files.
What do u mean by unable to convert?
Is it unable to do the content conversion? if so then check the data as you said that it sometimes it works fine.
> The best approach is to change the name of the file in the receiver communciation channel instead of using a script.

How to populate target directory from the source XML in Receiver File Adap?

Hi All,
Our scenario is IDoc - XI -(Receiver File adapter) File. Is it possible to populate complete "Target Directory" from the source XML message??
Lets say we added field to maintain target directory in Idoc structure and some how populated value to it, then grab this target directory from the IDoc-XML and pass in Comunication Channel. I think its possible through Variable Substitation ...just want to make sure and if sombody has done the similar scenario their inputs would be great.
Thanx

Adapter engine field blank in File Comm channel (Sender)

Hi,
I am not getting any value in drop-down list of adapter engine in file adapter communication channel.System is allowing me to save the comm channel but when I am trying to create sender agreement, system is giving me following error
Unable to find an associated SLD element (source element: SAP_XIIntegrationDirectory, [CreationClassName, SAP_XIIntegrationDirectory, string, Name, directory.s01., string], target element type: SAP_XIIntegrationServer)
I m getting values of adapter engine when I select some other adpter like IDOC or RFC.
Please help...

Hi,
1) Can you check your Post Installation.
2) Look for SAP NOTES.
3) Try cache refresh
a)Start transaction SXI_CACHE.
b)From the context menu XI Runtime Cache select Start Complete Cache Refresh.
If you still face issue try this .
Many actions require to access System Landscape Directory content from the Integration Builder. To optimize performance, this content is loaded into a cache so that the System Landscape Directory does not have to be accessed directly each time that System Landscape Directory content is required.
However, this cache is not automatically updated if changes are made to the content of the System Landscape Directory. For this reason that we delete the System Landscape Directory cache if changes have been made to content in the System Landscape Directory. The cache is then filled each time that the System Landscape Directory is accessed. If we log on to the Integration Builder after we have made a change in the SLD, we do not need to delete the SLD cache.
To clear the SLD cache, from the Integration Builder main menu, choose Environment ® Delete Cache for SLD Data.
Once we have deleted the cache for SLD data, accessing objects in the SLD may take longer than usual initially.

Dynamic Config for Target directory

Hello Experts,
My interface is from MQ (JMS) to FILE.
I have one sender and one receiver.
I have the Lockbox data placed into the single Queue for 2 countries (AU u2013 Australia and NZ u2013 Newzeland)
Point 1: My PI Interface Picks the lockbox data up from the Queue, then the respective file (dynamically by using dynamic configuration) is being created based on the condition in mapping.
Here my mapping logic:
SourceStrucutre                                                       ReceiveStrucutre
     Filed1               Filed1
     Filed2               Filed2
INPUT -
 FIXED VALUES u2026u2026u2026..> UDF1 u2026u2026u2026> ReceiveStrucutre ( root node)
Expected input values for INPUT: ABC and XYZ (ABC for AU and XYZ for NZ)
Expected values in FIXED VALUES: ( if ABC - create file name FILE1.TXT; if XYZ - create file name FILE2.TXT)
The below UDF is mapped to root node of Receiver Structure.
UDF1 code: ( with single Argument with name : arg)
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container
    .getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File", "FileName");
conf.put(key, arg);
return "";
the above mentioned logic works fine and am able to generate the file names (FILE1.TXT & FILE2.TXT ) in the target directory ( /tmp/common ) which mentioned in the receiver file adapter.
Point 2:
My Requirement is to generate the target directory dynamically based the file name generated..
Expected Target directory:
/tmp/AU/FILE1.TXT for the file FILE1.TXT
/tmp/NZ/FILE2.TXT for the file FILE2.TXT
I know we can do this by writing another UDF2 (DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File", "Directory"); for the directory and by making ASMA ticked for Directory in communication channel..
My question is how to map the two UDFs to the same root node of receiver..
Valuable inputs are much appreciated!!
Thanks,
Kumar

what i mean is have :
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File", "FileName");
and
DynamicConfigurationKey key1 = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File", "Directory");
conf.put(key, arg)
conf.put(key1, value for Directory)
If you are worried on how to map two UDFs to root node then FYI you can map the o/p of the UDFs to any node in your target structure......it wont cause any harm....
If you say no node is free then you can have two inputs to your UDF and then in the return statement send out the value that you want to pass to the target node (presently you are using return"".......if applying above then you will have return arg2)....
Regards,
Abhishek.

Creating Target Directory Paths

My questions are mixed in below, marked with "Q:"
Task 7A-1-6 in the PTools 8.48 Installation Guide talks about directory path structures that are required by the Oracle DBMS install wizard, but need to be manually created by me.
I installed database 10g. My SID is "HCM". There is an initHCM.ora file in my database folder. The contents were:
SPFILE='C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1/dbs/spfileHCM.ora'
and I added the following, per install guide instructions:
DB_NAME = HCM
DB_FILES = 1021
CONTROL_FILES = (/filesystem1/cntrl1HCM,/filesystem2/cntrl2HCM)
OPEN_CURSORS = 255
db_block_size = 8192
remote_login_passwordfile=NONE
Q: I substituted HCM for <SID> in the CONTROL_FILES variable, but are things like filesystem1 and filesystem2 meant to be literals, or is it intended that I substitute something for these? Also, there are some forward slashes in the SPFILE variable - is that ok for Windows?
The guide mentions these CREATEDB.SQL references...
startup nomount pfile=%ORACLE_HOME%\database\init<SID>.ora
DATAFILE '<drive>:\oradata\<SID>\system01.dbf' SIZE 400M
LOGFILE '<drive>:\oradata\<SID>\log01.dbf' SIZE 70M,
'<drive>:\oradata\<SID>\log02.dbf' SIZE 70M;
*...So I assume that I need to create c:\oradata\HCM*
The guide then says:
The init<SID>.ora parameter file that is referenced in the CREATEDB.SQL script makes the following
directory path structure references:
Note. Portions of the init<SID>.ora parameter file have been omitted for clarity. These paths are hardcoded
by the user creating the init<SID>.ora parameter file. The Data Configuration Wizard will not make any
substitutions for mount point, target directory path, or <SID> in the init<SID>.ora file.
+
Control file references:
+
control_files = ("c:\apps\db\oracle9i\oradata\ORC1\control01.ctl", "c:\apps\db⇒
\oracle9i\oradata\ORC1\control02.ctl", "c:\apps\db\oracle9i\oradata\ORC1⇒
\control03.ctl")
background_dump_dest = c:\apps\db\Oracle9i\admin\ORC1\bdump
core_dump_dest = c:\apps\db\Oracle9i\admin\ORC1\cdump
user_dump_dest = c:\apps\db\Oracle9i\admin\ORC1\udump
Q: Does this mean I need to create c:\apps\db\Oracle10g\admin\ORC1 plus subfolders bdump, cdump and udump? I particularly wonder if those exact names are correct, especially since the examples are for the 9i version.
Q: The guide says (above) that it's the init<SID>.ora parameter file which makes the above control file references... but as I showed above, that file only contained the one line, before I added the parms I mentioned. Is the install guide saying that I should add the control file references above to my initHCM.ora file?

With regard to the CONTROL_FILES variable...
I'm not sure how forward slashes are meant to be interpreted in the Windows world. Are you saying that I should substititute an entire valid Widows path, like this?
CONTROL_FILES = (c:\myfilesys1\cntrl1HCM.txt,c:\myfilesys2\cntrl2HCM.txt)
...after having first created folders c:\myfilesys1 and c:\myfilesys2, and that the database creation script will generate files cntrl1HCM.txt (I added the extension) and cntrl2HCM.txt?
Can you post a sample Windows init<SID>.ora file?
Edited by: M_Borok on Oct 7, 2008 7:46 AM
(continued)
...on re-reading, it seems to me that section Task 7A-1-5: Creating an INIT<SID>.ORA File shows the general format:
CONTROL_FILES = (/filesystem1/cntrl1<SID>,/filesystem2/cntrl2<SID>)
...but section Task 7A-1-6: Creating Target Directory Paths shows an example of substituted code for this line:
control_files = ("c:\apps\db\oracle9i\oradata\ORC1control01.ctl", "c:\apps\db\oracle9i\oradata\ORC1control02.ctl", "c:\apps\db\oracle9i\oradata\ORC1\control03.ctl")
Is that true? i.e. does this mean that I can create any path and file name I want, and the database create script will read it here and use it?
If so, does this mean that I have to substitute actual paths ANYWHERE I see a forward slash?
Also... I'm thinking that ORC1 in the sample code is their example of the SID, and for me it might be HCM instead.
I note that their example shows three control files instead of the two shown in the first template. Does it matter.
Q: Are these control files files that will be written by the create script, or are they a reference to files I should have created and populated?

File Name and Target Directory name issue in FTP CC

Hi All ,
I am using following code to assing file name and directory name in UDF. I don;t want these parameters to be part of my target structure. Since i have created these files names in UDF, what are the values do i need to mention in FTP CC's "File access Parameter" which are mandatory fiels in CC ?
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container.getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create(u201Chttp://sap.com/xi/XI/System/Fileu201D,u201CFileNameu201D);
String myFileName =biz +".dat";
conf.put(key, myFileName);
//Similar code for direcotry
Thanks for your support.

Hi,
in ID in receiver file comm channel, just tick the option of Adapter Specific messge attributes and in it tick FileName and DirectoryName.............
the filename and directory you give in comm channel will be treated as dummy and the values will be taken from your UDF.......

File Adapter : Dynamic Target Directory

Hi EveryBody,
I have an IDOC to File Scenario in which based on some field value X in IDOC i need to send the file to Different locations under the same FTP Server.
For Example : if X = 01 then Target folder T1
X = 02 then Target folder T2.
Can somebody help me out on the same.Possibly this can be done by Dynamic Configuration.Can somebody send me some links.
Regards,
Zabiulla

Hi,
First of all I would suggest to avoid the mail communications for the query.
Its against the SDN rules.
please read [Rules of Engagement|/thread/117188 [original link is broken];.
About Solution, you need not have to go for Dynamic Target Directory
You can use the Variable substitution concept here.
In the Target directory pass the %Var1%
and use Var1 ---> payload:<fieldName>
Refer to the last part of this link to understand this better,

XI3.0 File Adapter - Changing target directory at runtime

Hi all,
I have a XI3.0 running and I'm using the file adapter of SAP Basis 7.00. I'm trying to change the target directory at runtime, as I already did with the file name. The file name could be changed using the DynamicConfiguration, but this does not work for the directory. In help.sap I found the hint to use the variable substitution of the communication channel. I did not get it running, but it also does not solve my problem since I don't want to get the value for the target directory from the message header, but from a SAP IS-U system.
Can anybody help me to solve this problem?

Hi,
while using variable substitution, did u set the indicator for create Directory:
If the adapter is to create the target directory, if it doesn't already exist then set the indicator Create Target Directory.
If the indicator is not set and the target directory doesn't already exist the adapter returns an error.

File Adapter - pass in target directory as parameter

Hi
I'm currently using a number of File/FTP Communication Channels
all of which talk to the same FTP server
but I have a requirement to send my translated file to specific directories on the FTP Server
Ideally I'd like to have just 1 FTP Comms channel that has parameters for the Target Directory - how can this be done exactly.
I can see in the File/FTP comms channel in advanced tab the ability to provide parameters and the saphelp
is saying I'd need to pass in a directory paramater.... But where do I get to do this - I can think of Receiver or Interface Determination
but I can see nothing there to do this.... what am I missing ?

hi,
In your Receiver Determination, you can add multiple Receievers and you can also add the condition on which the receiver has to be choosen.
you can refer to:
