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...

Dynamic File name in File Adapter

Hi,
I have a requirement to pass dynamic file name in File Adapter.
Is there any way to pass a variable for the file name attribut in file adapter.
I am looking for some options apart from %yyMMddHHmmss%,%SEQ%...etc
Please suggest if any of you have information on how to put values from a variable to file name attribute in file adapter
regards
Saiju

Hi Saiju,
Yes there is.
Assign your file name to a variable, let's say 'fileName'.
Now go to your invoke activity(for the specific fileadapter) -> Property tab-> find a property call jca.file.FileName -> in the value field assign 'fileName' variable.
That's it... (assuming you are using 11g)

How to give a dynamic File Name for Receiver File/FTP Adapter.

Hi Experts,
    I have one scenario in which we are creating a flat file of IDOC which is coming from R/3 & sending it to FTP location. For this we have configured Receiver FTP adapter with File Name Scheme as "NT.out" & in File Consturction mode i have given as "Add Time Stamp".
    therfore while creating a file it is creating as NTyyyyMMdd-HHmmss-SSS.out
where as my requirement is only to to add Time & not the Date. (NThhmmss.out)
    How to do this ?
    for your info we are using ABAP Mapping.
    Pl help me
Regards,
Umesh

Hi Umesh,
      Add one more field to your target structure for your file name and populate that field as per your requirement like NTyyyyMMdd.out. In receiver communication channel use Variable subtiution option and give the refrence of Payload and file construction mode set as create.
And refer the below weblogs for Variable Subtiutuion File Name Scheme

Dynamic file name within 1:n mapping

Dear all,
I have a 1:n mapping and would like to use dynamic file names.
I searched the forum but found just some few anserws.
As far as I can determine, it is not possible to use dynamic file names for multiple target messages, right?
We are using a 3rd party adapter (SFTP) that doesn't support variable substitution.
Is there another way?
Thanks
Chris

>>As far as I can determine, it is not possible to use dynamic file names for multiple target messages, right?
I am afraid you are correct.
>>Is there another way?
One option I could think is have an adpter module and adding the dynamic configuration there.
I personally have not tried this option. But I dont see any reason, why this approach would fail.
If I am correct, the message is passed to the module chain after the split. So the above logic should work.
I will be glad if you can try and let me know the results
Regards
Jai
P.S: Let me know if you need any help creating the module. The coding should be so simple and not more than 10 lines

Dynamic file name ?

Hi,
I am following this blog to name the target file/directory dynamically at the runtime :
/people/sameer.shadab/blog/2005/09/23/an-interesting-usage-of-variable-substitution-in-xi
But I am getting this error in the CC monitoring :
Could not process due to error: com.sap.aii.adapter.file.configuration.DynamicConfigurationException: Error during variable substitution: com.sap.aii.adapter.file.varsubst.VariableDataSourceException: Unknown message header category 'interface_name ' for variable 'var1'.

Hi,
Try following this weblog for dynamic file name.
/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/11/10/xi-the-same-filename-from-a-sender-to-a-receiver-file-adapter--sp14
Dynamic filename come under the Dynamic configuration in moni, for your messages.
This is the code used inside.
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container.getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File","FileName");
String ourSourceFileName = conf.get(key);
return ourSourceFileName;
That is why Dynamic configuration is coming in output.. It is a class to generate dynamic configuration file at runtime provided by SAP XI.
Hope this will help you.

Dynamic file name in case of .txt output files

Hi all,
I have a query related to dynamic file name scenario.
In case of IDOC-XI-FILE sceanrio,
Is it possible to generate .txt file name based on Plant number like
%<Plantname>%_%<BusinessDay>_filename.txt
Note:I have implemneted this for .xml output files but I am not able to implement it for .txt output files .
PLEASE HELP ME .
Regards
Prabhat

Hi Prabhat,
I think, the normal Dynamic File Name generation should work fine in your case also. Even if you perform Content Conversion, you can use Variable Name Substiution to create your Destination file name as, the name of the file is determined first and only then is the content converison perfromed.
for info on content conversion, I would suggest that you go through this thread and check my reply,

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.

Dynamic File Name - UDF

Hi Master,
I written the UDF for Getting the Dynamic File name.
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container.getParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File","FileName");
// Retrieve the filename
String FileName = conf.get(key);
This is working ok - but I want to return these values so I can be used in mapping.
when I try to add the statement return FileName; , the compiler then complains with the following error:
cannot return a value from method whose result type is void return FileName;
Please help me,
Thanks,

See above the exaple, Depending on the Source file name, I am deciding where i need to place my file and what name i need to name it.
So please suggest me the solution and How can i do this with a single communication channel ? Do i need to create multiple CC for each folder??

Dynamic File Name and File size

Hi All
I need some help in calling Dynamic File Name and Dynamic File size of a file in my adapter Module.
Could you please provided some help on the same?
I have tried the same through UDF it is working. Could anyone provide me the steps for the same
Regards
Abhishek Mahajan

Hi,
You can use the already available adapter module "DynamicConfigurationBean". Have this adapter module at the top of the module list in CC.
Have the parameter value as insert http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File FileName and http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File SourceFileSize (corresponding to the key names)
For more info:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/45/da2239feb22e98e10000000a155369/frameset.htm

Xml file in dynamic file name in file receiver adapter

Hi,
I'm doing the dynamic file name in file receiver adapter. I have done as per instructed in /people/jayakrishnan.nair/blog/2005/06/20/dynamic-file-name-using-xi-30-sp12-part--i
All turned out okay. I have got the file name I require. Except that the file format is XML and I need to suppress the filename node occupied by the dynamic file name.
The content conversion mentioned in /people/sravya.talanki2/blog/2005/08/11/solution-to-the-problem-encountered-using-variable-substitution-with-xi-sp12, does not seem to solve my problem. As it is only for file format other than the XML one, because we only do the content conversion if we want to "convert" the format of the content from XML to the other format.
Does anybody have the solution to my problem? thanks in advance

Thank you Raj for the direction
The way to do it is :
1. In ID, advanced tab, put a check on the adapter-specific message attributes - file name.
2. Put a "*" on the file name scheme
3. In IR, create a UDF to set up target file name :
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container
.getTransformationParameters()
.get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File","FileName");
// set up file name for receiver adapter
String SourceFileName = conf.get(key);
conf.put(key, TargetFileName);
return " ";
4. Map the above UDF to the header level of the target structure.

File Adapter: Dynamic file name

Hello,
I would like to use a filename like this:
Name.<DOCNUM>.Direction.<Timestamp>
For DOCNUM I use variable substitution. Works fine.
For <Timestamp> I need a different format as the timestamp function
in file adapter create. So I try to set up my timestamp in mapping like
dynamic file name:
DynamicConfigurationKey key1 = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File", "Timestamp");
conf.put(key1, a);
Input a is date function which creates my desired timestamp format. In file adapter I try this:
Name.%DOCNUM%.Direction.%Timestamp%
or
Name.%DOCNUM%.Direction.Timestamp
or
Timestamp
all doesn't work for Timestamp.
So is there a possibility to configure a dynamic filename like this???
Is there a possibility to access dynamic configuration variables in dynamic filename except
the known for filename and directory??
thanks
chris

your file name needs to be
Name.<DOCNUM>.Direction.<Timestamp>
dont use variable substitution. use only dynamic configuration and set the file name
introduce a logic that will create the string
Name.<DOCNUM>.Direction.<Timestamp>
eg. String filename = "Name" + var_docnum + "Direction" + var_timestamp;
then use the dynamic conf code to set the file name and use adapter specific properties in you adapter to retrieve it.

Dynamic file name(Context)

Hello All,
I am using Dynamic file name function in my message mapping. Below is the code that I am using inside UDF:
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container.getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File","FileName");
String fileName = conf.get(key);
return fileName;
Now the questions is as per my requirement, I need to generate multiple file names. Can some one help me how can change the above code for catering multiple returns
Thanks
Regards
Moorthy

Hello,
Now the questions is as per my requirement, I need to generate multiple file names. Can some one help me how can change the above code for catering multiple returns
If you are using multi-mapping (0..n), only one will be accessed. See link below from SAP Help
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/43/09b16006526e72e10000000a422035/frameset.htm
Or you can use variable substitution for filename generation (search in SDN).
Hope this helps,
