Lower case in variable substitution

Hi experts,
in my scenario I have a receiver CC that put an xml file in a target server.
The requirement is to dynamically determine target directory based on a field on mapping header.
I have used variabile substitution to retrieve the value of the field, and with %% i have put this value on field target directory.
The problem is: value from mapping is in capital letter, but the name of the target directory in which I have to put the file is in lower case letters, and target server is case sensitive.
Obviously I cannot change value in mapping, but I need to put variable in variable substituion in lower letters.
Is it possible?
Thanks
Fabio

no
also in case you want to put small case in variable substitution why cant you use dynamic configuration and set the values to lower case?

"CRLF" carecteres in variable substitution

Hello everyone!
I am facing a problem with the using of variable substitution for getting the file name and the file path in a receiver adapter.
The system is getting correctly the two parameters and it is deleting both the data from the file correctly too (because this is what I want).
But when the data is deleted the system leave a "CR" and "LF" caracteres and my non-SAP system reads this as two blank lines. Does someone know how to delete these caracteres whitout deleteting them from the lines above?
Thanks!

Thanks,
--Kishore.

HI,
your variable declartion is perfect, can you please check the below points,
 1.To specify variables in the target directory and file name scheme, they must be enclosed by % characters.
 2.variable name is case sensitive, can you give only lower case instead of giving upper case.
 3. Model_Number is giving same as per the message type.
Please look below link.

SQL Injection and variable substitutions

Hello helpful forum, I'm trying to understand what really goes on "behind" the scenes
with the variable substitutions in order to protect from sql injections.
I'm using apex 3.0.0.00.20
The trickiest component seems to be a Report of type "pl/sql returning sql", since
multiple dynamic sql interpretations are done there.
consider the following innocent looking disaster:
DECLARE
l_out VARCHAR2(2000);
BEGIN
l_out := 'select * from test_injection t where t.name like ''%' || :NAME || '%''';
RETURN l_out;
END;
if NAME is a single quote the report will return:
failed to parse SQL query: ORA-00911: invalid character
which hints to the fact that NAME is not escaped, and you are in fact able to access db functions
as in: '||lower('S')||'
I also tried to put there a function that runs in a autonomous transaction to log its calls, and
I see that it's called five times for each request.
consider now the similar solution (notice the two single quotes):
DECLARE
l_out VARCHAR2(2000);
BEGIN
l_out := 'select * from test_injection t where t.name like ''%'' || :NAME || ''%''';
RETURN l_out;
END;
with this second example nothing of the above is possible.
So my theory (please confirm it or refute it) is that there is a first variable substitution done
at the pl/sql level (and in the second case :NAME is just a string so nothing is substituted).
Then the dynamic sql is executed and it returns the following string:
select * from test_injection t where t.name like '%' || :NAME || '%'
now another substitution is done (at an "APEX" level) and then query is finally executed to return
the rows to the report.
The tricky point seems to be that the first substitution doesn't escape the variable (hence the error
with the single quote), while the second substitution does.
Please let me know if this makes sense and what are the proper guidelines to avoid sql injection with
the different kinds of reports and components (SQL, pl/sql returning sql, processes, ...)
Thanks

Giovanni,
You should build report regions like this using the second method so that all bind variables (colon followed by name) appear in the resultant varchar2 variable, l_out in your example, which will then be parsed as the report query. This addresses not only the SQL injection problem but the shared-pool friendliness problem.

Interactive Report Download - filenames always in lower case

I've written an interactive report in Apex v4.0.2 and have set the CSV download option to use a filename of "One_Two_Three" (note the capitalization).
However when the CSV file is generated, the filename is "one_two_three" - all in lower case. I've tried using substitution variables in the filename and this doesn't make any difference.
Is there a way to stop conversion to lowercase ? Is it possible to intercept or override something to allow even greater control the filename ?
thanks
Andy

Well, found some answers after some more trial and error.
1.) Country settings messed up my csv format. After changing the default column separator in the report attributes, things now look as expected.
2.) One can rather easily suppress the format signs by using the sql replace functionality, e.g.
SELECT REPLACE (my_column, CHR(10),' ') FROM my_table
And it is actually quite a difference if you use text area or rich text fields when it comes to the usage of the breaks.
Cheers,
Martin

Variable Substitution in Receiver File Channel

Hi All,
Could you kindly help me with this?
Mine is File to File Scenario. ECC drops a XML file in AL11 directory and i send that file using FTP to a third party system. There is no mapping involved and i use ICO. I need to get a value from the payload dynamically for using it in my file name.
When i tried to use Variable Substitution Method i get this error : VariableDataSourceException: Caught SAXException while parsing XML payload: Content is not allowed in prolog.
This is the reference i have given in my variable substitution : payload:customerelement,1,customer,1,sender,1,dealercode,1
and my XML structure is as below and i am trying to access the dealercode field in the XML.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
-<ns0:CustomerElement xmlns:ns0="http://www.xxxxxx.com/customer">
<recordCount>34</recordCount>
<Customer>
<Sender>
<transmitDate>ddmmyy</transmitDate>
<dealerCode>N050</dealerCode>
<DMSSystem>ABC</DMSSystem>
<DMSReleaseNumber>1.0</DMSReleaseNumber>
</Sender>

Hi Amit,
Yeah that is correct. But in my case the XML structure was not properly formed and i hwas frequently getting this error " Content is not allowed in Prolog" for which i tried all the solutions in SDN and nothing worked out. So i had no other option and had to go for adapter module.
Now the issue is solved and the interface is working as expected with the adapter module.
Thanks for your valuable inputs.

How can you create a paragraph style that removes all spaces and forces everything to lower case?

Hi,
Is there anyway of using GREP (or some other magical wizardry) to create a paragraph style that automatically removes all spaces and forces words into lower case?
Strange request i know....I'm wanting to use it for datamerged email addresses.
Thanks

so doing it through InDesign is a work around I'm exploring.
Excel has the 'LOWER' function and the ability to record macros for a quick find/replace on the spaces - so that's definitely a good option if it can't be solved purely in InDesign.
You can change case via scripting in InDesign. This AppleScript (OSX only) will set the case of the selected paragraph style to lower. It would be possible to add some code that would strip spaces as well:
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS6"
    activate
        set StyleList to name of every paragraph style of active document
    set myDialog to make dialog with properties {name:"Document Paragraph Styles"}
    tell myDialog
        tell (make dialog column)
            tell (make border panel)
                tell (make dialog column)
                    make static text with properties {static label:"Choose a Style", min width:150}
                end tell
                tell (make dialog column)
                    set myPresetsDropdown to make dropdown with properties {string list:StyleList, selected index:0, min width:150}
                end tell
            end tell
        end tell
    end tell
    set myResult to show myDialog
    if myResult = true then
        --+1 gets the correct name because list starts at 0
        set myStyle to item ((selected index of myPresetsDropdown) + 1) of StyleList
    else
        return
    end if
    destroy myDialog
    tell active document
        set myStyle to paragraph style myStyle
        repeat with j from 1 to (count stories)
            repeat with i from 1 to (count paragraphs in story j)
                if applied paragraph style of paragraph i of story j is myStyle then
                    --defines a variable to replace the generic this_text parameter in the handler
                    set SCText to the contents of paragraph i of story j
                    set contents of paragraph i of story j to my change_case_of(SCText)
                end if
            end repeat
        end repeat
    end tell
end tell
on change_case_of(this_text)
    set the_comparison_string to "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ"
    set the_source_string to "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"
    set the_new_text to ""
    repeat with thisChar in this_text
        set x to the offset of thisChar in the_comparison_string
        if x is not 0 then
            set the_new_text to (the_new_text & character x of the_source_string) as string
        else
            set the_new_text to (the_new_text & thisChar) as string
        end if
    end repeat
    return the_new_text
end change_case_of

Using Variable Substitution

Hi Im new to XI and Im testing a simple file to file scenario by using Variable Substitution method.
PFB the input payload of my scenario:

</ns0:INF94145_Emp_Input_MT>
I used the variable substitution feature of Receiver File adapter to get the Output file name as one of the Field value from payload(Employee name in this case).
Now my question is can I be able to get the output files based on employee names.i.e.,for two employee details I should get two out files and for n employee details I should get n output files.
Can anyone tell how the above scenario could be done.
Thanks for your help.

Prajwal

Hi,
I have used multi mapping and I tested the same and is working fine when I test in TEST tab present in mapping.
My scenario is a file to file and also I used same fields in input and output DT(datatype) for understanding purpose.
My input data type is as follows:
- <ns1:INF94145_Emp_Input_MT xmlns:ns1="http://infosys.com/xi/projects/adidas/n2">
- <Employee>
- <Details>
<Name>A</Name>
<ID>1</ID>
<Designation>qw</Designation>
<Salary>122</Salary>
<DOJ>2-22-2222</DOJ>
<Other>asasa</Other>
- <Address>
<City>asdsada</City>
<ZIP>12</ZIP>
<Country>dsada</Country>
</Address>
</Details>
</Employee>
But when coming to END to END testing I'm getting an error in IE as follows:
<SAP:Code area="MAPPING">GENERIC</SAP:Code>
<SAP:P1>Split mapping created no messages</SAP:P1>
Can anyone say what i have to do to overcome this problem.
Thanks and regards,

Variable Substitution not working when using ABAP mapping

Hi all,
I am doing an IDoc to File scenario.
Due to some complex mapping requirements, i had to use ABAP mapping for IDoc to File ( IDoc : SHPMNT05)
There is also one more requirement where in i need to generate the receiver filename dynamically
i.e the filename is of the form :
GW-XYZ-DD/MM/YYYY.csv
Where
XYZ is the Shipment number (E1EDT20- TKNUM)
DD/MM/YYYY is the IDOC creation date in ECC (EDIDC-CREDAT)
so i used the variable substitution option in receiver file adapter.
But its not working.
Is there any limitation for using the variable Substitution, doesnt variable substitution work in case of ABAP mapping?
Regards,
Loveena.

Hi,
u written ABAP mapping program to get the file name in the required format ,
is it rt?
when u test it at message mapping(including ABAP map program)
u get the the required format of file name in the one of target filed.
if that was fine, please check the variable substituiton parameters at receiver file adapter.
i mean, are u maintain variable name and refernece.
u have to specify the payload information.
warm regards
mahesh.

Variable substitution in Unit Testing validation - Date format?

Using SQL Developer unit testing, I am having difficulty comparing Date datatype in a validation.
I use a Dynamic Value Query to set the parameters of an insertion procedure under test.
select * from (select doc_nbr as p_mstr_doc_nbr, doc_nbr as p_assoc_doc_nbr, sysdate as p_date_added from documents sample(0.01) order by dbms_random.random) where rownum <= 1;So P_DATE_ADDED is a DATE datatype.
I wish to validate that the insertion was correct. So I run a Process Validation returning one or more rows.
SELECT * FROM X100_ASSOC
WHERE MSTR_DOC_NBR = '{P_MSTR_DOC_NBR}'
AND ASSOC_DOC_NBR = '{P_ASSOC_DOC_NBR}'
AND to_char(DATE_ADDED,'dd-MON-yy HH24:MI:SS') = {P_DATE_ADDED};I understand that the {P_DATE_ADDED} is substituting in a string. From Help page :
"What is actually substituted is the string representation of the parameter value. For example:
If P1 is a parameter of type NUMBER and has the value 2.1, the string {P1} will be replaced by the string 2.1.
If P1 is a parameter of type VARCHAR2 and has the value ABC, the string '{P1}' will be replaced by the string 'ABC'. (Note the single-quotation marks around {P1} in this example.)"
I need to know the format that the date is cast into as a string. Then I can do the comparision on the where clause.
Any answers? or details of where is more in depth documentation?
Thank you,
Bill

I agree as a general rule. However in this case, it appears that the variable substitution routine is returning the default format. So to compare my expected data to the returned data I choose to use the default format. If the variable substitution routine specified an explicit format, I would use that. In my original question, I asked if anyone knew the format.

Bill

Difficulty in Variable substitution.

Dear all,
I want to go for variable substutution in Receiver channel(File adapter).The variables I need are there in the RunTime tag of the SOAP Header(Date & Time).
The exact location
Inbound Message:
    SOAP Header
        RunTime
           Date
           Time
So can you please suggest what would be the variable format in this case.
I tried for:
Header:RunTime,1,Date,1
Header:RunTime,1,Time,1
But these variable were not found and I got the error in RWB Comm Channel monitoring.
Thanks in advance.
Abhishek

As per your scenario, SOAP is sender and the header information is sent from soap sender. Now in mapping, using java or xsl, you have to retrieve the soap header information and map it to the target side field. Only then this field could be used in variable substitution. Are you sure that the fields SOAP Header, RunTime, Date, Time are part of target message type structrure?

Prateek

Please guide me what wrong thing i am doing??????
or what i have to do to see this option???????

Dear Sameer,
Thanks for reply
I check following link:-

Can you tell is it ok in case of SP12

Upper case/Lower case

Hi,
I need to translate all the letters of a word but the first one to lower case.
For example, the variable has the value "ROBERTO" and i want to change it to "Roberto".
Is there a FM to do this?
And also, does anybody know a char domain in which letters stay in lower case?
Regards,
Roberto

Here is one FM also which can do this
STRING_UPPER_LOWER_CASE
Usage -
Pass value
Delimiter = space
String1 = 'ROBERTO OKUMURA'
Output -
Roberto Okumura
Thanks,
Kartavya

How to convert lower case to upper case?

Hi,
How to convert lower case letter to upper case and vice versa?

TRANSLATE
Variants:
1. TRANSLATE c TO UPPER CASE.
2. TRANSLATE c TO LOWER CASE.
3. TRANSLATE c USING r.
See String processing
Variant 1
TRANSLATE c TO UPPER CASE.
Variant 2
TRANSLATE c TO LOWER CASE.
Effect
The first variant converts all lowercase letters in c to uppercase. The second variant converts all uppercase letters to lowercase.
Example
DATA letters(3) TYPE C.
MOVE 'abc' TO letters.
TRANSLATE letters TO UPPER CASE.
letters now has the contents 'ABC'.
Note
The classification of upper- and lowercase, and the actual characters used are determined by the current text environment (see SET LOCALE LANGUAGE). Problems may occur when the system converts the characters, if the wrong language has been specified in SET LOCALE LANGUAGE, or if data has been processed that does
Variant 3
TRANSLATE c USING r.
Effect
Replaces all the characters in the field c according to the rule in field r. c1 containscharacter pairs. The second character in each pair replaces the first. If r does not contain a character in c, this character remains unchanged. r can also be a variable.
Example
DATA: letters(20) TYPE C VALUE 'abcabcabcXab',
change(15) TYPE C VALUE 'aXbaYBabZacZ'.
TRANSLATE letters USING change.
letters now contains 'XaZXaZXaZXXaZ'.

TRANSLATE LOWER-CASE statement returns different values in different systems

Hi Experts,
     I encountered the following problem while debugging the print program of an Adobe Form, which has the below-mentioned line of code:-
TRANSLATE v_var1 TO LOWER CASE.
The variable v_var1 is of type MSEHT whose basic type is CHAR with length 10.
The incoming variable, v_var1 has the value 'ШT', which is the upper-case Russian equivalent of the Unit Of Measure - ST.
     In the Production system, after the execution of the statement, the value v_var1 changes to 'шт'. But in the Development and Testing systems, which also have the same code as the Production system, the value v_var1 changes to 'шt'. In all the three systems, I had logged in the same login language('E'). The same problem remains when I log-in in Russian('R'). The text gets reflected in the Adobe forms and there aren't any JavaScript/FormCalc conditions on the particular window to change the font/case. The user wants 'шт' to be displayed (as is being displayed now) in the Prod. But since I'm not able make the same appear in the testing system, they are not confident to transport the changes to the prod.
     In the help documentation of TRANSLATE, I found that the "text environment" is a factor that affects TRANSLATE statements and could be set by the statement
     SET LOCALE LANGUAGE lang.
     which will basically change the system language. There aren't any SET LOCALE LANGUAGE statements in the Print program. I can hard-code and display it but I would like to know alternate solutions. Is it because of any system-specific font/text setting?

Hi David,
perhaps the systems got different codepages. This may cause the different.
Just another suggestion.

Florian
