Is it possible to know the file name of images loaded?

Hi:
I have a folder containing some images named 01_image_name.jpg, 02_image_name.jpg, 03_image_name.jpg, ... wich names I read with a PHP script. Then I loop loading each image and waiting until all are loaded to display them
1. The PHP script reads file names and returns a string with names separated by a "|" char, then I use the split method to store them in imagesNames array and sort it
2. I loop trough imagesNames array loading images
3. Anytime a new image arrives I push it in imagesContainer array and check if all images are loaded to show them
The problem is there's no guarantee they arrive in the same order they were requested. So, how I sort the imagesContainer array by file name, i.e. in the same order they are in imagesNames array?
Thanks in advance

if you know when a new image arrives and you can retrieve that new image file name ...
Well, that's precisely my doubt, how can I know the file name? Is there a property/method for it?
function loadImages() {
for (var i:int=0; i<imagesNames.length; i++) {
var imgLoader:Loader=new Loader;
imgLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,imgLoaded);
imgLoader.load(new URLRequest(imgPath + imagesNames[i]));
function imgLoaded(par:Event):void {
trace(par.target,par.target.content,par.target.content.name);
Output window:
[object LoaderInfo] [object Bitmap] instance160
[object LoaderInfo] [object Bitmap] instance159
[object LoaderInfo] [object Bitmap] instance161

Creating dynamical flat file name in mapping?

Hi.
I know about the variations on how to use an input parameter and/or sysdate to create a dynamic output file name in a mapping.
My challenge is nearly the same, but I cannot make OWB generate the correct code.
Problem:
- got a one column table that holds an identifier in a string field
- got a function that reads and returns said identifier
- imported function into OWB
- trying to use the function call in the Flat File Operator's Target Data File Name, e.g. fixedfilename||fn_get_id()||sysdate||'.ext
OWB creates the code:
UTL_FILE.FOPEN(
'my_location',
'fixedfilename'||fn_get_id()||'_'||SYSDATE||'.ext',
'w',
32767
However, when compiling the package code, it returns the warning:
ORA-06550: PACKAGE BODY, line 2214, column 29: PLS-00201: identifier 'FN_GET_ID' must be declared
which results in an error when trying to execute the mapping.
I've tried substituting the function call in the FOPEN call:
myId := fn_get_id();
UTL_FILE.FOPEN(
'my_location',
'fixedfilename'||myId||'_'||SYSDATE||'.ext',
'w',
32767
and this works fine, the mapping creates a file with the desired filename. But obviously not a good solution rewriting the generated code all the time....
Anyone solved something similar?
Could I use an input parameter and the autogenerated function GET_<PARAMETER>?
But can I set the value of an input parameter inside the very same mapping?
Regards,
-Haakon-

(It always helps writing out one's problems...)
I managed to get it working :-)
Added an input parameter to the mapping, and gave the outgroup variable a default value by calling my imported function.
Then concatenated the implicitly generated function (GET_PARAMETER) in the Target Data flat file name.
I now have a target file name that changes according to a departement id stored in a parameter table.

Extracting the date from a flat file name in OWB

Hi,
I have a particular scenario, where I need to retrieve the date value from the name of the flat file and load it into a table, as a field in the target table. Is it possible to do this directly in owb. Your help would be appreciated.

Flat file to Oracle: Dynamic flat file name

Hi,
I am doing a transformation from flat file to oracle.
At one place there is requirement like flat file name is dynamic.
*eg. D:\ Flat DB\ Sample<Date>.txt
examples may be like Sample09012012,Sample08012012 *
As in physical schema we specify name of file is there any way by which we can specify dynamic file name.
as stated above.
Any help and suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi,
Yes you can specify a variable in the file name ( the resource name filed) .
You need to refresh the variable in a package and then use the interface to pick data from the file .
Thanks,

Include Flat file name as a field in the PSA / DSO.

Hi,
I have a requirement to include the Flat file name also in the DSO which is used for loading the data from a flat file source. I have created a new infoobject for File Name in the DSO. Can you guide me from which table I can get this information.
I was thinking of reading this information from the table which stores the file name in a routine in the transformation to the DSO.
I came across the table RSLDPSEL, it stores the Infopackage name and file name. But this does not work when I am using the same infopackage to load multiple files. Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Hari.

Hi,
The main challenge is to get the Technical name of the infopackage in the transformation ( field routine) from PSA (Datasource Source) to DSO for the Filename info object.
Is there any table which stores the Infopackage and the corresponding data target information in BI 7.0 sothat I could use the field routine in transformation to get the Infopackage ID based on the data target (DSO) ?
Once I have the technical name of the Infopackage, my logic is to query the RSLDPSEL table and find the file name based on Infopackage ID.
Please share your thoughts on how this scenario could be realised.
Thanks,
Regards,
Hari

Flat file name

Limit on the number of file names retrieved using FM 'RZL_READ_DIR_LOCAL'

Hi All,
I am using FM 'RZL_READ_DIR_LOCAL' , to retrieve file names from a specified directory.
When executed, i am getting 10,000 records(file names) only against lakhs of files present in the directory.
I would like to know if there is any limitation on the number of file names retrieved using that FM and how to over come it.
Also please let me know if the FM 'EPS2_GET_DIRECTORY_LISTING' also has any such limitations.
Thanks in advance,
Sreeni Vallem

I did not know about this limitation of number of files returned. You can give a try to the external command way of doing it in your development system. Well, creating 10001 files in development is a boring job . You can write a sample program as Rob has mentioned in this thread and copy files to a specific directory ABAP: Copy files from one R3 directory to another. This doesn't disturb the existing program written.
Mean while let's wait for expert's reply.

Data loading from flat file to cube using bw3.5

Hi Experts,
                   Kindly give me the detailed steps with screens about Data loading from flat file to cube using bw3.5
       ...............Please

Hi ,
Procedure
You are in the Data Warehousing Workbench in the DataSource tree.
       1.      Select the application components in which you want to create the DataSource and choose Create DataSource.
       2.      On the next screen, enter a technical name for the DataSource, select the type of DataSource and choose Copy.
The DataSource maintenance screen appears.
       3.      Go to the General tab page.
                            a.      Enter descriptions for the DataSource (short, medium, long).
                            b.      As required, specify whether the DataSource builds an initial non-cumulative and can return duplicate data records within a request.
                            c.      Specify whether you want to generate the PSA for the DataSource in the character format. If the PSA is not typed it is not generated in a typed structure but is generated with character-like fields of type CHAR only.
Use this option if conversion during loading causes problems, for example, because there is no appropriate conversion routine, or if the source cannot guarantee that data is loaded with the correct data type.
In this case, after you have activated the DataSource you can load data into the PSA and correct it there.
       4.      Go to the Extraction tab page.
                            a.      Define the delta process for the DataSource.
                            b.      Specify whether you want the DataSource to support direct access to data.
                            c.      Real-time data acquisition is not supported for data transfer from files.
                            d.      Select the adapter for the data transfer. You can load text files or binary files from your local work station or from the application server.
Text-type files only contain characters that can be displayed and read as text. CSV and ASCII files are examples of text files. For CSV files you have to specify a character that separates the individual field values. In BI, you have to specify this separator character and an escape character which specifies this character as a component of the value if required. After specifying these characters, you have to use them in the file. ASCII files contain data in a specified length. The defined field length in the file must be the same as the assigned field in BI.
Binary files contain data in the form of Bytes. A file of this type can contain any type of Byte value, including Bytes that cannot be displayed or read as text. In this case, the field values in the file have to be the same as the internal format of the assigned field in BI.
Choose Properties if you want to display the general adapter properties.
                            e.      Select the path to the file that you want to load or enter the name of the file directly, for example C:/Daten/US/Kosten97.csv.
You can also create a routine that determines the name of your file. If you do not create a routine to determine the name of the file, the system reads the file name directly from the File Name field.
                              f.      Depending on the adapter and the file to be loaded, make further settings.
■       For binary files:
Specify the character record settings for the data that you want to transfer.
■       Text-type files:
Specify how many rows in your file are header rows and can therefore be ignored when the data is transferred.
Specify the character record settings for the data that you want to transfer.
For ASCII files:
If you are loading data from an ASCII file, the data is requested with a fixed data record length.
For CSV files:
If you are loading data from an Excel CSV file, specify the data separator and the escape character.
Specify the separator that your file uses to divide the fields in the Data Separator field.
If the data separator character is a part of the value, the file indicates this by enclosing the value in particular start and end characters. Enter these start and end characters in the Escape Charactersfield.
You chose the; character as the data separator. However, your file contains the value 12;45 for a field. If you set u201C as the escape character, the value in the file must be u201C12;45u201D so that 12;45 is loaded into BI. The complete value that you want to transfer has to be enclosed by the escape characters.
If the escape characters do not enclose the value but are used within the value, the system interprets the escape characters as a normal part of the value. If you have specified u201C as the escape character, the value 12u201D45 is transferred as 12u201D45 and 12u201D45u201D is transferred as 12u201D45u201D.
In a text editor (for example, Notepad) check the data separator and the escape character currently being used in the file. These depend on the country version of the file you used.
Note that if you do not specify an escape character, the space character is interpreted as the escape character. We recommend that you use a different character as the escape character.
If you select the Hex indicator, you can specify the data separator and the escape character in hexadecimal format. When you enter a character for the data separator and the escape character, these are displayed as hexadecimal code after the entries have been checked. A two character entry for a data separator or an escape sign is always interpreted as a hexadecimal entry.
                            g.      Make the settings for the number format (thousand separator and character used to represent a decimal point), as required.
                            h.      Make the settings for currency conversion, as required.
                              i.      Make any further settings that are dependent on your selection, as required.
       5.      Go to the Proposal tab page.
This tab page is only relevant for CSV files. For files in different formats, define the field list on the Fields tab page.
Here you create a proposal for the field list of the DataSource based on the sample data from your CSV file.
                            a.      Specify the number of data records that you want to load and choose Upload Sample Data.
The data is displayed in the upper area of the tab page in the format of your file.
The system displays the proposal for the field list in the lower area of the tab page.
                            b.      In the table of proposed fields, use Copy to Field List to select the fields you want to copy to the field list of the DataSource. All fields are selected by default.
       6.      Go to the Fields tab page.
Here you edit the fields that you transferred to the field list of the DataSource from the Proposal tab page. If you did not transfer the field list from a proposal, you can define the fields of the DataSource here.
                            a.      To define a field, choose Insert Row and specify a field name.
                            b.      Under Transfer, specify the decision-relevant DataSource fields that you want to be available for extraction and transferred to BI.
                            c.      Instead of generating a proposal for the field list, you can enter InfoObjects to define the fields of the DataSource. Under Template InfoObject, specify InfoObjects for the fields in BI. This allows you to transfer the technical properties of the InfoObjects into the DataSource field.
Entering InfoObjects here does not equate to assigning them to DataSource fields. Assignments are made in the transformation. When you define the transformation, the system proposes the InfoObjects you entered here as InfoObjects that you might want to assign to a field.
                            d.      Change the data type of the field if required.
                            e.      Specify the key fields of the DataSource.
These fields are generated as a secondary index in the PSA. This is important in ensuring good performance for data transfer process selections, in particular with semantic grouping.
                              f.      Specify whether lowercase is supported.
                            g.      Specify whether the source provides the data in the internal or external format.
                            h.      If you choose the external format, ensure that the output length of the field (external length) is correct. Change the entries, as required.
                              i.      If required, specify a conversion routine that converts data from an external format into an internal format.
                              j.      Select the fields that you want to be able to set selection criteria for when scheduling a data request using an InfoPackage. Data for this type of field is transferred in accordance with the selection criteria specified in the InfoPackage.
                            k.      Choose the selection options (such as EQ, BT) that you want to be available for selection in the InfoPackage.
                              l.      Under Field Type, specify whether the data to be selected is language-dependent or time-dependent, as required.
       7.      Check, save and activate the DataSource.
       8.      Go to the Preview tab page.
If you select Read Preview Data, the number of data records you specified in your field selection is displayed in a preview.
This function allows you to check whether the data formats and data are correct.

Reciever File Adapter - Temp File Name Scheme using Variable Substitution

How can I create a temporary file that uses variable substitution?
We are having a problem with files merging when we write files using the "Use Temporary File" setting on the FIle Adapter. So two independent files are merging into a single file. We are not using the "Append" setting.
We would like to use a Temp File Name Scheme that would append the message id onto the temporary file name.
Using variable substitution we created a msgid variable. When added to the temporary file name using %msgid% the temporary file name is created with %msgid% in the name instead of the actual message id. We put the variable into the "File Name Scheme" as well and the end completed file used the message id in the name.
Any Ideas?
Thanks,
Matt

HI Matthew,
Why are you adding the message id into the temporary file??
I understand that you want the output of the filename to contain message id .. and hence you are using variable substitution for the same.
Temporary file name will anyways get overwritten by the actual file name (here the actual filename will be using variable substituion).
So i suggest to achieve your scenario you can add any name in the temporary file and maintain the desired filename you require as output in the variable subsititution.
Temporary File Name option actually acts as a lock - unlock mechanism from PI side while the file is getting written to the file server so that while PI is writting the file no third party application batch program picks it up.
I hope this helps.
Cheers

Convertion of flat file to XML using DOM

Hi!
I need help for convert a flat file to XML using DOM and by taking the validation of a specified DTD. Can any body help me in this regard.
Bye,
lat

first you have to decide how the flat file will map to xml. Will you use attributes or pcdata for your fields, or both? Will there be a hierarchy, or will it be mostly flat?
Once decided, you'd probably just use a BufferedReader to read the lines one at a time, and generate Dom nodes as appropriate, and stick them in the tree.

How to design Flat file for loading attribute dimension in a planning application

Dear Gurus,
I have a requirement to extract attribute dimensions from an essbase application and load it to another planning application. I have a dimension called Program and two attribute dimensions Sales Manager, Accounts manager associated with Program dimension in Essbase application. I will Extract these dimensions using Essbase outline extractor. After Extracting the attribute dimensions I have to load these dimensions to planning applications using outline load utility. Kindly guide me how to design the flat file for loading attribute dimensions in planning application.
Thanks and Regards
SC

You could dig through the docs and try to figure out the file format manually, or you could do this the easy way. Simply use the Outline Load Utility to export your attribute dimension from Planning. The export file format is the same as the import file format. You might have to manually add a couple of test members to your attribute dimension so that your export file has some content. Then simply update the file you exported, and import it.
(I am assuming you have already manually created the Attribute dimension in Planning, and that you simply need to add members to it.)
Hope this helps,
- Jake

Flat File Data Loads to BI 7.0

Hi Experts,
Please update me what is the best approach i have to follow for the below scenario of Flat File Data Loads
I will get data in Excel ....with Two worksheets....from the user
My requirment is to place the file in Central location avaliable to the user and BW to update if any changes necessary and want to load data(full0 to bw from file if there are any changes
Please update me how to deal with this scenarion of Two work sheets,In a central location...
Thanks

Easiest thing would be to use a DSO with change log to handle the changes to pass onto to any cubes and load a full every night
Then let the change log worry about any changes to the workbook
You have to be careful about the DSO keys though for this to work properly
Now to automate the loads - just how are you planning to create the infopackage as it will only read a csv and not the binary xls
Well it will read the binary xls if you maybe use a dbconnect with a jdbc driver to read the xls (that's on my next thing to do - but if you are as your user id suggests a "bw learner" then that may be a bit complicated)
The only other thign to do is to write a macro that automatically creates the csv file on the app server when the user quits the xls
Or off course you can just dump the csv each night - but then that is a manual task and in systems I design I hate manual tasks as staff go on holiday and peopel change jobs and it's not really very SoX compliant

Is it possible to know flat files names loading using particular info pack
