Pick a file based upon its extension

Hi Experts,
I have a requirment. I have to pick a file based upon its extension, i.e., the file having a particular extension, should be picked up before fiiles having a diferent extension.
Is this possible using only the adapter configuration?
Thanks and Regards,
Sanjeev.

Group the files based on their extensions

Hi,
I am traversing a dir and listing all the files under that directory. Now i want to group the files based on the extension and just print the number of files with each extension.
ex:
Extension No.of Files Size of the files
.java 10 23455 bytes
.html 2 1000 bytes
I am able to get the extension of the files. I would like to know how to proceed after that.
Any sample code will be helpful.
Regards
Kutty

I have used a method to list all the files in the directory. After adding files with same extension to the HashMap. i am printing files after reading file by file. I need to print the files once i complete reading all the files in the directory.
Any suggestions?
private void listingFiles(File f )
 Map extensionMap = null;
 File[] files = f.listFiles();
 for( int i = 0; i < files.length; i++ )
 File file1 = files;
 Dprop.size += files[i].length();
 if (file1.isFile())
 fcount = fcount +1;
 if (extensionMap == null)
 extensionMap = new HashMap();
 // Group files by extension
 for(int idx = 0; idx < files.length; idx++)
 if (files[idx].isFile() && files[idx] != null)
 String ext = getExtension(files[idx]); // get the extension
 ext = ext.toLowerCase();
 List fileList = (List)extensionMap.get(ext);
 if(fileList == null)
 fileList = new ArrayList();
 extensionMap.put(ext, fileList);
 fileList.add(files[idx]);
 // Access all the files by extension
 for(Iterator extensionIterator = extensionMap.keySet().iterator(); extensionIterator.hasNext(); )
 String ext = (String)extensionIterator.next();
 List fileList = (List)extensionMap.get(ext);
 System.out.println("\n\nNo of Files "+fileList.size()+" with extension '"+ext+"' in '"+f+ "' Directory");
 for(Iterator fileIterator = fileList.iterator(); fileIterator.hasNext(); )
 File file = (File)fileIterator.next();
 System.out.println("File Name "+file+" File Size "+file.length());
 else
 dcount = dcount +1;
 listingFiles( file1 );
Thanks in advance

Pick up Files based on Timestamp???.

HI All,
Is it possible to pick up the files in the order of which they are put in a shared folder ?.
Our client system will put the xml files in a shared folder with timestamps..PI will pick these files one by one..but if the PI server is down.. the files will keep coming in the shared folder from the client system..and when PI come back up they need to be picked in the order in which they have been put according to timestamp.
I'am using the NFS functionality.
I dont want to output files from PI based on timestamp added.. I want to pick files up based upon sender timestamp.
Is this funcationality supported in PI?.
Thanks.

HI
You can write script to do this. Script can copy files based on time stamp from the folder where client system is putting the file to the folder PI is poling based on timestamp.
With this as Ratan said. If the file creation date for file system is in date and time format(timestamp) File processing sequence by Date can help. It process file starting from oldest file.
Thanks

How to pick the file which is created with current date

Hello All,
I have an FTP server where files are created with current date as PO_CONFIRM_20100701.txt.
Need to pick the file based on current date. How to pick the above file format using file sender adapter. i.e what file pattern can we use so that file will be picked only on today's date
Regards,
Sreenivas.

Hi Srinivas,
It depends upon the OS you are using. If unix you can see an example script here:
http://www.computing.net/answers/dos/batch-file-to-rename-files-by-date/5517.html
If windows an example here:
http://en.kioskea.net/forum/affich-87157-finding-and-using-file-date-in-batch-command
You may need to change slightly to fit your exact requirements. But this would make you to start. Else you can also google to get the script. Here is one link:

Sorting files based on type

So I wanted to make an automator that watches a folder and when a file is added it should quickly sort it into one of my other foldrs based on its extension.so if its a pdf it should go into folder "pdf".
I thought I could be smart and instead of making a workflow for each filetype I can have automator find the extension and move the file into that extension folder.
i thought I could call an apple script that will return the extension name.
Im having trouble it wont work passed the applscript step
....anyone know what I can do?
i pass the file into my applescript:
on run {input, var1}
set var1 to (get name extension of file "input")
return var1
end run
and it says it cant get input?
Message was edited by: shamguy4

In the *Run AppleScript* action's run handler statement:on run {input, parameters}
the input parameter variable is a list of the items passed to the action, and the parameters parameter variable is a list of the parameters of the *Run AppleScript* action itself (the action's user interface - e.g. the source text of the script, if it ignores input, etc). Typically you just loop through the input list:on run {input, parameters}
repeat with anItem in the input
-- do something with the item
end repeat
return input -- or return the results of your script (for the next action)
end run

Show or Hide fields based upon a variable value

Hi,
I am a rookie in the field of Acrobat. And my only question is :
How to Circle a Form Field based upon a variable value .
For example, If x=1, I want to circle Japan and if x=0, I want to leave it without any change.
Please help me out. Thanks for your time and help.
Thanks,

Hi George,
I am pre-populating a Pdf file based upon the data submitted by the user. And I have to circle options selected in the form.
I am writing coldfusion code to flatten, populate the form into a PDF form. The end result is the PDF generation with all the data in it.
The data comes from the database, where I set variable values if any is selected or not.
Thanks for your reply, I really appreciate your help.

Sender File adapter not picking the file ABCD.PRN extension file

Hi
Am doing File to Abap Proxy scenario. My source will be in text format of fixed length of fileds 7.
My souce file will be generated by a third party machine with the extension EEE150809.PRN. In my scenario my file adapter should pick the file and update the same in ECC via a Proxy.
I have configured the Sender File adapter with Message Protocol - Content Conversion but file adapter is not picking the file. I have checked the Communication channel and status is fine. But the same Communication Channel works for .XML file.
What are the parameters that I have to consider with the file extension .PRN using File adapter?
Thanks.
S.

Hi Swarna,
You dont need to worry about the extension when picking the file. You can try using EEE* so that is picks all the files starting with EEE. If you have the fixed name then you can try giving EEE150809.*. Also EEE150809.PRN should not have any issue. Try to see in sender commu ication cahnnel for anyerrors. Probably there might be some network issues or authorisation issues. If you are reading with NFS then ask them to give necessary permissions. If you are reading through FTP check the user id and pwd you are using.

Picking files based on the requested URL

Hi Experts
I have a requirement where I need to pick image files from SAP DMS server based on the URL requested.
The scenario :
Third-party sends a URL corresponding to a particular image in DMS as request and PI needs to Pick the image
file and send it as response.
Due we need BPM? How to set up sender file adapter source directory as the file name/directory to be picked is dynamic in nature and there is no specifc pattern .We need to pick the exact file base on the Unique URL.
Can we do this requirement in a synchronous interface by using HTTP or SOAP attachments for image? What about
the performance impact as we have img files here.
Regards,
Srinivas
Edited by: Srinivas on Sep 27, 2010 11:36 AM

Third-party sends a URL corresponding to a particular image in DMS as request and PI needs to Pick the image
file and send it as response.
BPM would be required....We had a similar requirement wherein a URL was given at runtime to PI....then PI had to call the location and get back the details and we used SOAP for this (SYNC Call to the URL using SOAP channel from the BPM).
Can we do this requirement in a synchronous interface by using HTTP or SOAP attachments for image?
Not sure how the attachment will function inside a BPM....in my case I got the details as part of the message...even it was an image but it was stored as a base64 encoded message.

Sender File adpater to Pick Two files at a time based on the file name

Hi Everyone,
I have a scenario where I need to pick two files at a time using file adapter where the two files names have a common string in between their names.For example , the file names can be sets like
H123.txt and L123.txt
H345.txt and L345.txt.
Now how do we handle this in the File Adapter ?

Anu,
Two approaches.
1. Use BPM: use a collect pattern to pick those files: L and H files , use multi mapping to merge those files and map to IDoc. Constraint is that there must be a mandatory correlation field in both the files. Say a same po id in L and H file.
2. Use an Adapter module with additional files option in file Adapter. Operate on the Main payload and attachment inside your module code to get a combined contents of both files and proceed.
Module is preferable in terms of performance, but maintenance is difficult. Deployment after each changes, transport issues, etc.
BPM is resource intensive, but easy to maintain, transport.
Choose based on your requirement.

How to pick the multiples based on file size

Hi All,
my sender file adapter needs to pick up 5 files based on file size.
for example 1file size is 500kb,2nd file size 300kb,3rd file size 400kb, 4file size 100kb and 5file size 600kb.
here my requirement is, my file adapter needs to pick in the below order like 5th file,1st file,3rd file 2nd file and 4th file.
means based on file size, i need to pick up my file adapter.
could you please ang inputs on this requirement.
Thanks & Regards,
AVR

Hi AVR,
for case 2:
1. At specific time each day "23:58:00" hours ,count the number of files in directory say "c:\apps\acm".
2. sort the files on basis of their size.
3. place the files one by one after definite time interval (more than polling time of the sender communication channel).
in target directory say "c:\apps\acm1" from where PI server picks up the files for further processing. The file with smallest size is placed last.
4. In this case you need to ensure all files are present in the directory "c:\apps\acm" before "23:58:00" hours.
for case 2 java code
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.util.Calendar;
import java.util.GregorianCalendar;
public class sortFilesOnSpecificTime {
* @param args

int pollingInterval=10,sleepTime=1*60;

String dir2="c:\\apps\\acm1";

System.out.println("error: "+dir1+" does not have read permission. Program Terminates.");

The code runs in infinite loop. You need to run them in command line in DOS environment as you indicated that you OS is WIN XP. I have a few print statements which I kept for debugging, you can safely remove them and run the codes. This code is independent of the Operating System you are using. Only change is required in values of "dir1","dir2", timings and file count, which I think you can take care easily.
Hope this solves your problem.

Assign the name of a file and its extension when using DESTYPE=MAIL

Hello,
I've developed a report running Oracle Reports 10g that is being emailed to a user. I would like to specify the name of the file and it's extension that is attached. Are there variables or parameters in Oracle Reports that I can use to accomplish this?
It looks like by default that the file name is using the Name value found in the Property Inspector for the report. I have not been able to find a way to re-assign this value with a value from either the input or select values in the data model.
Will Oracle Reports 10g allow me to define the name of the file and the extension?
Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Thank you for the quick reply and information. I almost thought you had solved my problem until I found out that distribution and bursting do not support delimited and spreadsheet output. One of the two files I need to email has a desformat of SPREADSHEET.
Is there any other way to manipulate the file name and extension when using destype of MAIL?

File based event not triggering

We are facing issue in file based event scheduling.
Files are getting created on the server path.But the event server is not trigerring the event upon file creation.
File Path is also correct.
I checked the event server metrics ,In List of Monitored files,Last Notified Time is blank.
This was all working fine since last 3 months.
Recently we had some antivirus upgrades on server,after that this problem has started.
I can read write and create files on the server path.But event is not getting fired.

Edge Transport Attachment stripping based upon an emails Subject line.

I am running Exchange 2010 on-prem with a 2013 Hybrid (including a 2013 Edge Transport server for message handling between on-prem and the o365 tenant) connecting to an o365 tenant. I use EMC's SourceOne for archiving running on-prem. The o365
tenant points to a mailbox on my on-prem Journaling server.
What I am seeing is that when o365 forwards emails as attachments from the cloud back to the on-prem Journaling server it is examining the subject line of the message and making a decision to strip the attachment based upon the very end of the subject line.
Example: A simple text message with a subject line of: "Check out the new web site at www.xyz.com"
The Edge transport server is seeing this as being a ".com" attachment and stripping it off before it gets to the Journaling server. So it does not appear to be looking inside the message to see what it actually is and figure out that it is not
a ".com" file but a simple text message.
I have seen this with other file extension types as well. Such as ".exe" . It is also stripping off ".zip" attachments as well, but I understand that and not sure how to deal with it.
Has anyone else experienced this and how have you dealt with it? Microsoft wants me to take the Edge out of play and go directly to from the cloud to an on-prem Exchange server. But that is not an option as the on-prem servers are not exposed to the internet.
