Open Hub - Add header line to file on server.

Hi All,
How can I add header description to the file being generated in the server from the Open Hub. The open hub generates a fiule with data fields only, however i want a header line.
Example
IF my data fields are displayed as below,
John M 12 2344
Thomas M 17 8960
Lin F 10 8467
Jan M 12 4323
I need to add, description as NAME above John, Thomas, Lin etc.
as GENDER above M,M,F etc.
as CODE above 12, 17,10 etc. and
as EXTENTION above 2344, 8960,8467 etc
Can anyone help.
Points will be assigned

Hi,
i don't think this can be done even in BADI.
what you can do is once the Infospoke run is complete and the file generated , run a custom report for this.
in the custom report open a file dataset , write header and then close the file dataset.
then again open the file dataset in append mode , writhe the file that the infospoke generated and close the file dataset.
include this custom program after you infospoke run in the process chain.

Neeraj.

How to add header line in a file from XI system using file adapters

Hi All,
I need to add header line (Column names) in a file coming from XI system.
I am using file adapters.
Thanks & Regards,
Gaurav Mittal

The Receiver File Adapter is configured, using the following settings:
1) Choose File Content Conversion as the Message Protocol.
2) You give the addHeaderLine parameter as 1
3) For the fieldSeparator parameter you need to give field separator for both list and substructure (referring to the data type above). For eg: it may be a , (comma) for substructure in a comma separated file.
4) The endSeparator parameter needs to given for substructure only. For eg: it may be a nl (new line)
5) Give the file name, the directory and the Construction mode. Activate all the settings. Receiver File Adapter with F.C.C. is configured.

How to add header to a file in mapping

Hi,
I need to add header to a file , the header information i am getting is dynamic , it is an IP address of the m/c from where i received the file and keeps on changing.
Can we add this information in the header in mapping or there is any other way to acheive this.This IP is used to make a lookup at a latter stage for verification purpose.
Regards,
SRi

Hi Sri,
Write Java class or an ABAP class
in Java class or ABAP class write logic to find the first word or line
once you find that word in your incoming file, you need to replace with a string which has the static header+firstword what you have searched
for exmple
Incoming file
abcd
<abc>123</abc>
<def>321</def>
Your logic should find "abcd"
String Header = "http://www.sap.sdn.com"
String A = "abcd" (bcoz u kow u r searching for this word)
now concat A+Header and return the string
IF you are writing an ABAP or Java class include this in Interface Mapping
Hope this helps.

Add header line to the text file in receiver file adapter

Hello Experts,
I have to add a new line to the text file generated at the receiver end.
My structure is
Record
   Item......0-unbounded
         field1
         field2
         field3
I have defined below parameters in receiver FCC.
RecordSet Structure : Record,Item
Item.fieldSeparator : ;
Record.fieldSeparator : nl
Record.endSeparator : '0x0D''0x0A' ( this is to get a carriage return at the end of the file)
Item.addHeaderLine : 1
With the above configuration, i am getting the desired output with NO header line.
Please help.
Thanks,
Swetha.

Hi, it looks like that the headerline "specification is only permitted if exactly one structure is defined." Please check [SAP help under Define Parameters for Recordset Structures|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw73/helpdata/en/44/686e687f2a6d12e10000000a1553f6/frameset.htm].
One solution would be to generate the header fields in the message payload. Generate an additional first line containing the header names, e.g.
<Item>
<field1>Header1
<field2>Header2
<field3>Header3

Add Header Line tot he output File

Hi,
Proxy to File Senario.
Details records are coming through proxy.
I need to add a static header line in the file that is created..
The Header line is something Like this :- "SSN";"UPI";"EFF_DATE";"STATUS";"STATUS_ACTION_CD";"PAY_CONTINUATION";"LASTNAME";"FIRSTNAME";"MI";"NAME_SFX";"LOC_CODE";"EMP_CAT";"
The configuration that i did in Content Conversion:-

Hi Harpreet,
You can pass the static header content in your message mapping ....to the target header field..
and then use a normal FCC to print out the structure...

Can Open Hub create a fixed length file, not CSV?

I've been given a requirement to produce a file that is not a CSV file, but a file of a fixed length where all of the fields are always in the same positions.
For example, a material "batch" number can be of variable length. They want it to always appear on the file in positions 10-20, even if in some cases it is 10 digits and in other cases it is 4 digits. There should be spaces to fill in the remaining digits.
Can the Open Hub BADI be used to do this? It seems like it always wants to compress the data (so to speak) and stick a seperator in there and the BADI is not helping.
Thanks for your help!
Chris Orlando

Simplest: Use LJustify() or RJustify() on your lines of data.
EG:
<cfset FileLine = RJustify (LineOfText, 128)>

I want to add header to a file. Header must contain date/time and scan rate (it's a DAQ vi)

I managed to solve the problem using solution in attachment, but it looks quite primitive...
Additional problem:
Suppose the case:
Acquisition 1 --> header and results are written in "results.lvm"
Acquisition 2 --> I want new data to be written in the same destination file "results.lvm" (append to the file). But I need the header to know when Acquisition 2 begins. Unfortunately, what happens is that new data are appended immediately after old data; header is updated at the top of the page and information on Acquisition 2 replaces that one on Acquisition 1.
Here is the reason because I need a more efficient header maker.
Attachments:

data5_h.lvm ‏1 KB

I looked at the VI, and you should not think that it is bad. It works and there is nothing simplier you can do to format the header.
working simple solution=good solution
I think that you may want to reapproach writing the data to file. The customization you want in the saved file will require extensive recoding of several VIs. Have you considered just writing your own algorithm for recording data? It is not difficult to learn the basic techniques then you can modify it all you want. Look on the string palette and the shipping examples for writing text to file.

Open Hub Header and Trailer Record.

Hi,
For the Open Hub Destination
Destination Type is File,
Application server.
Type of File Name: 2 Logical File name.
How to to the get the Header and Trailer Record which will contain Creation Date, Creation Time and Total number of records.
Header record Layput :
Creation Date (YYYYMMDD)
Creation Time (HHMMSS)
Total record Count
Trailer record Layout:
Total number of Records in the file and
XXXX( Key Figure ) Total.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Adhvi.

Hi Venkat,
write a UDF in following way...
pass the first parameter as the detail node (cache the whole queue) to the UDF pass the second parameter as the trailer countto the UDF
now loop through the detail records get the count with a counter variable
check the counter against the trailer count outside the loop
if it doesnot match trigger the alert from the UDF itself
Check the below link for triggering alert from an UDF

Open Hub - Header in flat file

Hi there Experts.
I am working with a opeb Hub destination, and so far everything has been straight forward.
But i need to include headers in the first line of the file.
By default the Open Hub i generating a Control File, so it is possible to look in this file, but the requirements from the customer is to have fieldnames inside the same file as the data.
Any help will be awarded.
Ingrid

I have faced this. There is no delivered mechanism. One work around would be (after the extraction) to open the file using ABAP and paste the header. If one tries to figure (in the start routine or end routine) that this is the first record of the first package, one faces the problem with data types (header has a CHAR data types where the fields of the file may not all be CHAR). We eventually convinced the user to drop the requirement. As you mention, there are generated files with header information.
Not sure this helps.

To create an header for Open Hub extract

Hi guys,
How do i get an header for an open hub extract for a CSV file, an header consisting of the field names technical or otherwise.
Thanks,
Your help will be greatly appreciated

hi,
Field definition
On the Field Definition tab page you define the properties of the fields that you want to transfer.
We recommend that you use a template as a basis when you create the open hub destination. The template should be the object from which you want to update the data. This ensures that all the fields of the template are available as fields for the open hub destination. You can edit the field list by removing or adding fields. You can also change the properties of these fields.
You have the following options for adding new fields:
●     You enter field names and field properties, independent of a template.
●     You select an InfoObject from the Template InfoObject column. The properties of the InfoObject are transferred into the rows.
●     You choose Select Template Fields. A list of fields are available as fields for the open hub destination that are not contained in the current field list. You transfer a field to the field list by double-clicking on it. This allows you to transfer fields that had been deleted back into the field list.
If you want to define the properties of a field so that they are different from the properties of the template InfoObject, delete the template InfoObject entries for the corresponding field and change the properties of the field. If there is a reference to a template InfoObject, the field properties are always transferred from this InfoObject.
The file or database table that is generated from the open hub destination is made up of the fields and their properties and not the template InfoObjects of the fields.
If the template for the open hub destination is a DataSource, field SOURSYSTEM is automatically added to the field list with reference to InfoObject 0SOURSYSTEM. This field is required if data from heterogeneous source systems is being written to the same database table. The data transfer process inserts the source system ID that is relevant for the connected DataSource. You can delete this field if it is not needed.
If you have selected Database Table as the destination and Semantic Key as the property, the field list gets an additional column in which you can define the key fields for the semantic key.
In the Format column, you can specify whether you want to transfer the data in the internal or external format. For example, if you choose External Format here, leading zeros will be removed from a field that has an ALPHA conversion routine when the data is written to the file or database table.
Assign points if helpful
Cheers!!

Open hub error when generating file in application server

Hi, everyone.
I'm trying to execute an open hub destination that save the result as a file in the application server.
The issue is: in production environment we have two application servers, XYZ is the database server, and A01 is the application server. When I direct the open hub to save file in A01 all is working fine. But when I change to save to XYZ I´m getting the following error:
>>> Exception in Substep Start Update...
Message detail: Could not open file "path and file" on application server
Message no. RSBO214
When I use transaction AL11, I can see the file there in XYZ filesystem (with data and time correspondent to execution), but I can´t view the content and size looks like be zero.
Possible causes I already checked: authorization, disk space, SM21 logs.
We are in SAP BW 7.31 support package 6.
Any idea what could be the issue or where to look better?
Thanks and regards.
Henrique Teodoro

Hi, there.
Posting the resolution for this issue.
SAP support give directions that solved the problem. No matter in which server (XYZ or A01) I logon or start a process chains, the DTP job always runs in A01 server, and it causes an error since the directory doesn´t exist in server XYZ.
This occurs because DTP settings for background job was left blank. I follows these steps to solve the problem:
- open DTP
- go to "Settings for Batch Manager"
- in "Server/Host/Group on Which Additional Processes Should Run" I picked the desired server
- save
After that, no matter from where I start the open hub extraction, it always runs in specified server and saves the file accordingly.
Regards.

Open Hub export to ASCII file

Is it possible to export infoprovider data through open hub to an ASCII formatted file? How would we do that in BI 7.0?

Hi,
You can use TCode RSANWB to goto APD and u can export data from any infoprovider to Flat File .
Check this link on APD:
