Linux file name into ODI variable

Hello All,
I have a situation where we have files in one directory in linux ,I want to import the file name into a ODI variable.
Ex : A_B_C_2014_01_20.zip (inside this zip file are the flat files with data) is the file name in /u02/source_files location , i want this into a ODI variable and once the data loading is complete ,i want to log it saying
A_B_C_2014_01_20.zip complete
A_B_C_2014_01_21.zip complete.
So my other shell script will look for the complete flag and copy the next file into the ODI pick up location.In this case I need to pick up A_B_C_2014_01_22.zip and start the data loading.
How do i implement this functionality in ODI. Please let me know.

Issue was due to a syntax error. Case closed.
Thanks!

How to read variable file name into ODI

Hello everyone,
I apologize in advance if this has already been answered - I've done searches both on Google and this OTN area and have not found an answer to my query.
I would like to do the following via ODI:
1) rename a file in a specific directory
2) process the file
2) move the file to a backup directory
3) rename the file again
The file name is going to change everytime this process runs, as date is appended to it. I could create a variable with a system date in it and concatenate that into the filename before processing it, but I am not sure when they will run the ODI routine. Therefore, I would prefer to play it safe by doing something like a wildcard search in DOS.
Example:
Filename = TestFile12072010.csv
I would like to:
1) rename TestFile12072010.csv to TestFile.csv
2) process the file
3) move the file to another directory
4) rename the file to TestFile<processdate>.csv
I was hoping to do the first step using a DOS command that reads in TestFile*.csv. Note: I would expect there to be only 1 file with this naming convention and file extension in the directory.
I have tried creating a stored procedure that uses the Operating System type, but it runs without stopping. I have also tried ODIFileCopy and OS Command. Obviously, I am doing something wrong since I am getting errors.
Any guidance would be much appreciated! :)
Thanks!

Get the file name into a Odi variable

Hi,
I need to get the file name into odi variable like ..A/ETC/file.txt
For eg.the filename file.txt should get store in a variable.
Then i want to compare the file name stored in the variable with some other value.
Please suggest.
Thanks.

in package,
declare the variable, then evaluate it with another variable, generally using # syntax
if the variable is date type, suggest to use : syntax, because # will treat the variable value as text value
in loadplan
use case when syntax,

Sharepoint Workflow : how to get document full path + file name into variable?

Hi,
Anybody knows how to get document full path + file name into a variable in Sharepoint 2010 workflow?
Example http://sp1:80/InvoiceQueue/Shared Documents/123.pdf
I am using List Workflow which links to a document library.

Hi SAMSUNG,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to get the full path of a document in a list workflow.
You can set the variable to the Enconded Absolute URL of the document. The screenshot is my testing. In my testing (in the red area), when the title of a document was equal to the tile of the current item, set a variable to the Enconded Absolute URL of the
document. I used ‘Log to history list’ to check the value of the variable in Workflow History .
I hope this helps.
Thanks,

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

Passing Dynamic File Name to ODI nterface for processing to another system

Hi,
I need help regarding passing a Dynamically Name changing fixed length Flat File in ODI Interface. This interface is built for taking the Flat File as Input and process it to SQL Server by applying Data Mapping and transformations... The input Flat File Name is sequence generated for eg: OEORD1123.txt and next file will be OEORD1124.txt and it sits in Oracle Conc tier. How to pass the latest file name to ODI interface for processing
Regards,
Anil..

Hi Guys...
I would like to suggest a way.
a) create a single interface with dynamic resouce name (a ODI variable) with a filter to the month column like:
month_column = '#vCountMonth'
b) in the refresh tab of a first variable (I named "vMonth"), use the following query: (varialbe should be alphanumeric, "not persistent")
select to_char(to_date('#vCountMonth','MM'),'month') from dual
c) create one more ODI variable (I named "vCountMonth"), alphanumeric, not persistent and at its refresh tab write:
select lpad(to_char(#vCountMonth + 1), 2, '0') from dual
d) now just create a package, drag and drop the objects in the following order:
d.1) vCountMonth in set mode and set = 0 (zero)
d.2) vCountMonth in refresh mode
d.3) vMonth in refresh mode
d.4) the interface
d.5) vCountMonth in evaluate mode, evaluating "= 12"
==> if NO (KO, red line) link the KO line to d.2 step
==> a OK line is not necessary unless you have others steps after finish the evaluating
Make any sense? That is a single loop to have the interface developed only one time.
Please, remember to check each thread reply as Useful or Correct if they are useful to you...

Script to insert file name into keywords field of same file

Hello,
search a solution, a Script or another, which writes the file name into keywords field of same file (Metadata: Description/Keywords) in "photoshop", "bridge" or better in "Lightroom" .
I found this topic from Mike Hale http://www.ps-scripts.com/bb/viewtopic.php?t=1330
It's possible this script to change this in such a way that it does this:
"script to insert file name into keywords field of same file"
Thanks and best greetings

File name into text field

Is there a way to display the forms file name, into a text field?
Example: The form's file name is "MyForm.1.01.pdf"
I would like to display "MyForm.1.01" in a text field on the form.
If my form is saved and goes up a revision to say "MyForm.1.02"
"MyForm.1.02" is then displayed in the text field.
I was thinking, this could be on the pre open event, so that when the form is saved, it would display the new revision when the form is next opened?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
The following will get the file name:
this.rawValue = event.target.documentFileName;
I would put this in the docReady event, as this event fires only once, when the form opens.
There is a sample here: https://acrobat.com/#d=ZnxO-dlXXFDS0GvYcQk2NQ
Hope that helps,

Method for quickly putting file names into IPTC core description?

I would like to put the file names into the IPTC core description. The files are all named differently .Is there a way to batch this or any other way of automatically including it so that I don't have to do each file separately? Or perhaps there is a plug in?
I am using PS5/ bridge on a mac.

You only need a script… not a plug-in to do this. Search the bridge scripting forum as Im sure Paul has posted several variations of scripts that do this…

How to using variable in log file name on ODI 10.1.3.5?

Hi,
how can i put a my variable into my log file name?
now I use this syntax --> ExRate_<%=odiRef.getSysDate("MMddyyHHmm")%>.log.
But I have a variable for example #server, the value = "oracleProd" and i want to put the variable value into my log file name.
so the result that i want to get is --> ExRate_oracleProd_<%=odiRef.getSysDate("MMddyyHHmm")%>.log
so how can I apply the variable value to my log file name? I try using odiRef.getSessionVarList(#Month) but it didn't work.
Thanks.
Regards,
chris
Edited by: 877142 on Aug 3, 2011 9:36 PM

hi,
You can by
ExRate-#server-<%=odiRef.getSysDate("MMddyyHHmm")%>.log
Note that I have changed the underscores to dashes. This is because ODI will assume that this is a wildcard/escape character.
Hope this helps!!

Dynamic XML file names in ODI

Hi All,
Is there a way can we call the XML names dynamically.?
Here is the Scenario,
I have multiple XML files of same structure to be loaded into an Oracle table.
I have first created a XML dataserver and have given the exact path and the file name for reversing the XML model for the first time. The JDBC url was,
jdbc:snps:xml?f=/xml/file/#XML_TEST.FILE_TEST.xml&s=XML_TEST&dod=true&ro=true
After reversing i have changed the JDBC url of the XML dataserver to,
jdbc:snps:xml?f=/xml/file/#XML_TEST.var_FILE_NAME.xml&s=XML_TEST&dod=true&ro=true
I have created a variable *#XML_TEST.var_FILE_NAME* to get all the XML file names.
After that i tried to view the data from the datastores present under previously reversed XML model, but was getting the following error :
java.sql.SQLException: While generating the DTD from the XML file, a org.xml.sax.SAXParseException exception occurred saying: Document root element is missing.
Do I need to change anything in the XML model or in the Datastores?
Warm Regards,
VBV

Since you are using the Variable ,when you right click and view datastore its missing the required path of the file, as value of the variable is not determined , to do so you need to either refresh or set the variable and call the interface or other ODI objects and in loop keep reading XML files one by one and that should work.

File information -- How to retrieve file name from header variable

Hi
I am using File Adapters to read files(.xml) and then I need to perform some database operations.
One of the requirement is storing the file name read into the DB.
I searched through the forum and got the information on how to configure this in the header variable. The link below shows the same.
File Adapter
Now, I use the XSL mapper to map the source values(from input xml file) to the corresponding table column names. So how should I get the value of the file name.
I saw some of the in-built functions to be used for this but there is not enough documentation to proceed.
Can anyone please provide some solution on this.
/Kiran.

Hi,
Here are the steps that you need to do after you have declared the variable.
1) The variable that you have declared should have the following elements
a) Filename
b) Directory
2) Use the assign activity to copy the value of the filename part of this variable to the arg that needs to be passed to the database. (most probably an invoke variable).
If you still have any problems implementing this, mail me at [email protected]..and i'll send you the screen shots for the entire process.
