Need example to create File names dynamically using File adapter

hello,
I am mapping an IDOC to a flat file using XI and a file adapter. I need to be able to output a file name dynamically depending on the data in the IDOC.  For example if the IDOC has 310 as the company code, the file name should be xyz.310 and if the IDOC has 600 as the company code, the file name created by the file adapter should be xyz.600.  Please some body provide me with an example of the XSLT code that I will have to write in the dispatcher User Exit.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Nope
But you could add a dummy row to your source to include column headers and then use options column headers in first row in flat file connection manager.
So suppose you've three columns column0,coulmn1,column2 and you want to make it as ID,Name,Datethen make source query as
SELECT 'ID' AS Col1,'Name' AS Col2,'Date' AS Col3, 0 AS ord
UNION ALL
SELECT Column1,Column2,Column3,1
FROM YourTable
ORDER BY Ord
then choose  column headers in first row option

  • Dynamic file name creation using FTP adapter wired from a mediator

    Hi All,
    My Requirement is as follows....
    Mediator is wired to Three FTP adapters to create three files.
    File names are dynamic.
    In the mediator those three routings, mappings and assignment for the directory and file name are being created.
    But out of 3 files, 2 files are being created with the names mentioned during the FTP adapter configuration and the last one is being created
    with the dynamic value.
    Any help in this regard is highly thankful.
    Thank you.
    Srivatsasa.

    Create a UDF in mapping taking counter from IDoc as input parameter
    DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container.getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
    DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File","FileName");
    String totalFilename = "AAAA_" + counter;
    conf.put(key,totalFilename);
    return  totalFilename; 
    Map output of this UDF to Top node at target.
    you will not be able to see the result in test tab of mapping but it works end to end

  • Changing file name dynamically in INFOSPOKE

    Hi All,
    I am using infospoke to export data to third party.
    But here file name is constant. I want to change the file name using prefix with time stamp before filename. For example if data is getting extracted today and file name is suppose ABC then it should become 03.06.2009ABC.
    Please let me know the process how to achieve this.
    Your input would be a great help to me.
    Thanks,
    Uday.

    Hi dear..ur file will have dynamic date appended in the begining as per the current date..and I do always...so don't worry about that..few more settings are there when you will be specifying logical path..
    go to transaction file
    1.say yes on cross client message
    2.double click on the logical path definition..check if there already specified logical path..for you..(you may find it out by clicking on another tcode AL11)
    once you know it..you can find the details by clicking on assignment of physical path ...
    if its not present..i dont' hope so..then create one..eg. ZLOGTEST
    .Logical path    ZLOGTEST
    Name            Logical file Path Definition(folder path)
    Syntax group    UNIX       Unix compatible
    Physical path   /transfer/<FILENAME>   (here it depends on ur application server folder check AL11)
    3.Now click on Logical file name definition
    Logical file    ZTEST_INFOSPOKE
    Name            ZTEST_INFOSPOKE
    Physical file   /<SYSID>/<DATE>_ZTEST_.CSV
    Data format     ASC
    Applicat.area   BW
    Logical path    ZLOGTEST
    when u would have defined logical path in step 2 the only u can use it in step 3.
    Ti will work always..to add time also use tab <TIME> in between...if u want..

  • Passing file name dynamically in Synchronous read operation of FTP adapter in OSB

    Hi,
    We are implementing the integration in OSB 11g and using FTP JCA adapters to check if the file exists in the FTP location or not. We are using Synchronous read operation of FTP adapters. We need to pass the file name dynamically at run time. In the JCA file we can hard code the file name. How that file name can be taken dynamically using OSB.
    Regards,
    Sharmistha

    Hi Sandeep,
    This is possible.
    For creating filenames dynamically for your sender, you will have to crate a variable name ( eg: %VAR%) as you file name and then you will have to give the name of your file under variable substitution. Just check this link for more info,
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/14/80243b4a66ae0ce10000000a11402f/frameset.htm
    In the case of receiver file adapaters, you have 5 options for file creation like,
    1.Create
    2.Append
    3. Add time stamp
    4.Add Counter
    5. Add Message ID
    You can choose any of these options or you can do it dynamically from you payload. Just check out this help link for more info,

  • Need help adding a default file name in a file chooser of save dialog type

    I need to create a file chooser with save dialog type, how can I add a highlighted default file name into the File Name textfield? As in Microsoft Word, when you want to save a document, a default file name Doc1.doc will appear in the File name text field of the file chooser even when you change to other directories.

    For JRE 1.4.0 you can use this fix:
    public class FileChooserFix implements PropertyChangeListener {
      private String fileName;
       * @see PropertyChangeListener
      public void propertyChange(PropertyChangeEvent ev) {
        JFileChooser chooser = (JFileChooser)ev.getSource();
        if (JFileChooser.FILES_ONLY == chooser.getFileSelectionMode()) {
          if (JFileChooser.SELECTED_FILE_CHANGED_PROPERTY.equals(ev.getPropertyName())) {
            File selectedFile = (File)ev.getNewValue();
            if (selectedFile != null) {
              // remember fileName of selected file
              fileName = selectedFile.getName();
          if (fileName != null &&
              JFileChooser.DIRECTORY_CHANGED_PROPERTY.equals(ev.getPropertyName())) {
            // reset selected file
            File directory = (File)ev.getNewValue();
            chooser.setSelectedFile(new File(directory, fileName));
       * Convenience method to create a fixed file chooser.
       * @return      fixed file chooser
      public static JFileChooser create() {
        JFileChooser chooser = new JFileChooser();
        chooser.addPropertyChangeListener(new FileChooserFix());
        return chooser;

  • How to remove ":"  in file name while using Variable substution

    Hi ALL
    I am using  file adapter and I what to create file name dynamically by acesssing PO number and time stamp from the payload using variable substution.
    But the problem is I am getting ":" in time stamp field value and it is not acceptable for file name .
    So could you please tell me a way that I can remove this ":" from that particular field value and create the file name dynamically.
    Note 1)Add Time stamp option will not help me as we require a time stamp of particular zone.
    2) Dynamic Configuration code is also not use full as I am using 1:n file creation

    does the time stamp with the ":" a part of your output file?
    else use a replaceAll function in your mapping and replace the : with empty string then use the value in the variable substitution
    Another option is use the normal BPM for 1: N message flow. The use a simple java mapping that will introduce a dynamic configuration and you can create the file name as you want. the java mapping will be used in the flow of messages from BPM to target system.

  • Passing file name dynamically to sql loader ctl file

    Hi,
    I am new to scripting and I have a complex requirement involving writing a script.
    Requierment:
    I need to upload a CSV file from a FTP server into oracle table using SQL Loader. The file name resembles like APF0912312359.csv represents 31-DEC-2009 23:59 and there will be multiple files in same day indicated by differnt timestamp as its filename. Once I load a file using SQL loader, I need to move the file to another directory for archival.
    Since the sql loader ctl file has a fixed file name, I would like to know how I can pass the file name dynamically to ctl file to load a new file every time it runs.
    Any help is greatly appreciated..
    Bye

    Edited by: user2138419 on Oct 28, 2009 4:08 PM

    I agree with Pradeep in regards to declaring the file names on the command line. However, I do have a concern regarding presenting the password on the command line as any user that can issue a ps (assuming Unix ~= Linux here) would be able to read it while the sqlldr command is running.
    Unfortunately, you may not always have the option of declaring the files on the command line. I was recently challenged with this in a Windows 2003 Server environment running SQL*Loader: Release 10.2.0.1.0. In this environment I found that I am able to set a variable file name in a calling batch file and use that value in the control file successfully. Just to demonstrate the approach:
    Batch file:
    set IN_FILE=’c:\inbound\load_me.txt’
    sqlldr user/pswd@db PARFILE=’c:\parameters.txt’
    Parameter file:
    errors=500000
    rows=50000
    control=%CTL_FILE%
    bad=%BAD_FILE%
    discard=%DSC_FILE%
    log=%LOG_FILE%
    Control file:
    LOAD DATA
    INFILE ‘%IN_FILE%’
    INSERT
    INTO TABLE table_to_be_loaded
    I’m really interested to see if this would work on Unix.

    Hi Ralf,
    i think, you need for each XML msg (each different root element) a new adapter -> a new IF determination, new rec agreement and a new channel.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • Add Counter to File name when using Tran Protocol as FTP

    Hi There,
    Was wondering if there was any way to achive the same "Add Counter"  functionality used for File names in Reciever file adapter when we are using FTP as the transport protocol, this option is only provided in NFS,
    My requirement is ..
    Write files using counter on to ftp..
    say if three files already exists on the ftp server with names ...fname001, fname002 and fname003
    then the next time a file is written it should have a file name fname004 else fname001 if no file exists.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated

    No such standard functionality is available in communication channel...
    But you can try customizing ur scenario in one of the following ways...
    Case 1: If a field in source data carries the information regarding the sequence.
    You can map this value ( Directly .. or using some transformation ) in some temporary field in the target and then use a Variable substitution at the receiver communication channel.
    Case 2. If the source file name carries the sequence information. then you can enable the Adapter specific settings in the Sender communication channel , and then get the information of the source file name using the Container object in the mapping. Then assign the sequence number to a field in the target , use a Variable substitution at the receiver communication channel.
    Case 3 : If Case 1 and Case 2 are not applicable ... then you have to use a Ztable to store the sequence number , a function module to fetch the number , and then use a UDF in which you will implement the RFC call logic.Then the same process .... assign the sequence number to a field in the target , use a Variable substitution at the receiver communication channel.

  • "Could not save (file name) because the file is already in use or left open."

    Hello,
    When I tried save as a file, I get an error msg:
    "Could not save (file name) because the file is already in use or left open."
    The file is not open anywhere accept Photoshop.
    Mac Pro, OSX 10.5.6
    Photoshop CS4.
    I searched the forum but could not find anything even though i'm sure someone already asked it.
    would love to get a solution for that.
    thank you,
    shlomit

    There is a problem with both Photoshop and InDesign, then we can blame wich ever it is.
    1. I open a .psd file in Photoshop CS4 by double clicking it in Bridge
    2. This image is placed on a page in a open InDesign document.
    3. Doing some changes in Photoshop on the image.
    4. Trying to save and get this error message (this topics subject)
    5. Deleting the image from the page in ID doc, it is the only one in the document.
    6. Can't still save file.
    7. Closing ID completely and now I am able to save the file.
    I tried turning of Live preflight in Indegisn but that didn't help.
    So probably the fault is InDesign or the MacOS. I didn't have this problem with CS3. It is a stupid problem because this type of workflow is pretty common and one would expect it to be solved by now.
