Pick the file with dynamic name

Dear All
My scenario is file to idoc.
legacy system generates file with a file name as current date.txt which keeps on changing
eg: on 9th july file name is 09072009.txt and
on 10thjuly filename would be 10072009.txt
How do i pick such file and process it?
What should be the File Name in the sender communication channel?
Please help me in resolving this issue
Thanks

Hello Baskar Raj,
Your requierement can be acheived by using the combination of UDF and ASMA(AdapterSpecifieMessageAttriburrtes) which helps us greatly in meeting dynamic filename rquirements.
1.You have to enable either FIlename,Time stamp or all the he ASMA in the sender side communication channel .
2.Write the UDF that gets the file name (CURRENT DATE.txt)during runtime that is available from enabling ASMA in sender communication channel .
3.change it to the name u want to modify (Replace with the new file name by getting time stamp from the ASMA attributes.
4. Map the UDF output to any of the target nodes(can be messagetype node MT_ur msg type name).
5.Enable ASMA on the target side also in that chek same file name.
Code to be writen in UDF is mentioned by sunilchandra in the below thread u jus need to avoid filename in that and use only date format it will acheive ur requrement.
Re: Regarding Target File name
Thanks,
Ram.

Recive a file with dynamic name

Hi All,
I want to receive a file with dynamic name containing date stamp to it.... eg File_20080123.txt , File_20080122.txt etc.
Can anybody suggest how to do it?
Thanks,
Atul

Atul,
Are u using mapping program in ur interface? If yes you can go ahead with ASMA + Dynamic Configurations for renaming the file.
Have u tried this option?
See the below Solution
Check the ASMA File for both sender/receiver channels.
Write the below code UDF in mapping program
//Get Input date. Don't pass anything to this UDF except the Date.
//Map the output to the root node of the target.
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container.getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File","FileName");
String fname = conf.get(key);
String ret = fname"_"Date
return "";

FTP Activity - mget multiple files with dynamic names

Hello All
Hope all is well.
I was wondering if there was a way to configure FTP activity to transfer multiple files with dynamic names from source location at daily intervals.
For example, my source files are affixed with date values (source_filename_<mmddyyyy>_<hh>.txt):
source_filename_12252009_00.txt
source_filename_12252009_06.txt
source_filename_12252009_12.txt
source_filename_12252009_18.txt
What I would like my process flow to do would be to download just these 4 files once daily based on a dynamic ftp script as follows:
open ${Remote.Host}
${Remote.User}
${Remote.Password}
cd ${Remote.RootPath}
prompt off
mget ????????
quit
In DOS batch script you would have the mget command with a wildcard as:
mget source_filename_%DATE:~0,2%%DATE:~2,2%%DATE:~4,4%*.txt
How does one go about implementing this in OWB? Does it require a user defined substitution varilable of some sort?
FYI, I am using version 10gR2.
Cheers.

Hi ,
If you are able to achieve your objective from a DOS batch script then you can call that script for an User Defined Activity in OWB process flow .
Hope this helps.
Thanks,

How can I automatically create the files with serie-name?

Hello, Everyone,
I have a question again.
How can I automatically create the file with a serie-filename?
e.g. I have a program, it will repeat 5 times, and every time it will create a bmp-file, and I want to let this program automatically save these 5 files with a Serie-filename like File001.bmp, File002.bmp, .... File005.bmp.
How can I do it?`
Thanks a lot.
Regarts,
Johnny

Hi Deepu,
one more comment
The format code should be "%04d" to get leading zeros and have filenames with same length...

Need to Pick the file with continious records in File Sender

Hi,
I am Working with File to Idoc Scenario. Where I am using Field Fixed length as FCC. The fixed length of each record is 200.
I am able to pick the first 200 characters.
For example:
If the file has 600 characters continiously. The first 200 belong to first record and second from 201 to 400 and so on.
How can i control this in File adapter.
Regards,
Manoj

Your data type record should have an occurence of 0..unbounded or 1..unbounded. In file content conversion, leave the recordset per message empty.
Let's say you have the following structure:
DT_MAIN_SEGMENT (0..1)
RECORDSET (1..unbounded)
In file content conversion, DT_MAIN_SEGMENT will be your recordset name and RECORDSET will be your recordset structure.

I need to include a page with a name I do not know in advance. I can do this with <jsp:include page="${filename}"/>.

OSB file Write, not naming the file with specific name.

Hi ALL,
I have a requirement, i should accept the data or XML file from from JMs queue and place it in a location specified. For this i have build the PS and BS.
Where PS will De-queue the JMS queue and route using Service call out to BS. And the BS will place the file in location. I could do this easily. BUT the thing is that i could not name the file perfectly with the intended file name. to build the BS i used .JCA file , .WSDL file, XML file from Jdeveloper. and imported to osb console. i could write the file as follows..
MY business Services:
services TYPE : ANY XML services
transport
Protocol ==> file
Load Balancing Algorithm ==> round-robin
Endpoint URI ==> file:///oracle/Middleware/user_projects/domains/Agile

Source files with dynamic name

Hi,
Is there a way to load from a variable file name sources, for example file name with date postfix, something like this: INPUT_DEPT_20070313.txt ??
Or i must create an external process in the process flow wich is to rename the file every time to a fix name then load ??
Thanks.

Correct. If you are using SQL*Loader mapping, then put a transformation before the mapping in your process flow. If you are using external tables (PL/SQL mapping), then put a premapping procedure in the mapping. And yes, use UTL_FILE package to rename the file.
Greetings,
Mate

SSIS 2008 - Sending file with dynamic name using FTP task

Hi - Thanks for taking a look - (I'm very new to SSIS.)
I'm trying to create an SSIS 2008 package that does the following:
1) Execute a stored procedure on SQL.
2) Download the results as a CSV file to a 'local' location. The file name is set using a variable ("User::LocalFilePath") dynamically based on the current time:
@[User::LocalFilePath] + "GreatReportName_" + "_" +(DT_STR,4,1252) DatePart("yyyy",getdate()) + Right("0" + (DT_STR,4,1252) DatePart("m",getdate()),2) + "_" + Right("0"
+ (DT_STR,4,1252) DatePart("d",getdate()),2) + "_" + Right("0" + (DT_STR,4,1252) DatePart("hh",getdate()),2) + "_" + Right("0" + (DT_STR,4,1252) DatePart("mi",getdate()),2)
+ "_" + Right("0" + (DT_STR,4,1252) DatePart("ss",getdate()),2) + ".csv"
3) Transfer the CSV file to an FTP site.
4) Delete the CSV file from the 'local' location.
I've been able to do steps 1 and 2 so far. However when trying the move the newly created file to the FTP site I get the error:
"Error: 0xC002917C at Send to FTP, FTP Task: The variable "User::LocalFilePath" doesn't contain file path(s)."
(When I set the "IsLocalPathVariable" to "False" and use a file previously created the file is correctly transferred to the FTP site. This proves that the FTP details are correct and that the "RemotePathVariabe" is working
correctly.)
I have set the variable ("User::LocalFilePath") to "EvaluateAsExpression" in the variable properties.
Can anyone help?
Many Thanks,
UnoT

Hi Vaibhav,
Thanks for your response. I set the "DelayValidation" to "True". However
that didn't make any difference.
I added in all the breakpoints, but it didn't give any results (I may be doing this incorrectly?):
Any other suggestions?
Thanks,

How to specify Sql Loader input file with dynamic name

The input file name likes pochange_YYYYMMDD.dat which is generated by other program each day.
I want to load this file to a table.
Any help? Thanks a lot

I thought in an excellent strategy to do this:
Conditions:
- you have to have only one file in the folder with the data.
- Independently of the name of that file. A process is always going to change its name to a fix name.
- the controlfile must at another fixed path
the scripts is this one:
joel_sqlloader.bat
ren *.dat always.txt
sqlldr <user>/password data=always.txt control=<another_path>/my_ctl.ctl
- In a folder you will have these files:
* joel_sqlloader.bat
* pochange_YYYYMMDD.dat
- In another folder you will have:
* my_ctl.ctl
Did you get it ?

Sener file adapter has read/pick the files first in first out method.

HI
In my Interface I am Using Sender as File adapter. As per my requirement Sender file adapter has to read the file from file directory. This directory having 1000u2019s of files with some files are same name (time stamp is different) and some files are different name here file adapter has to pick the file with mentioned name in File sender adapter like ZMPSMSGSTATUSMST-.xml .
But source file name is like <TABLENAME>-<TIME_STAMP>.XML (ZMPSWRKFLOWHIST-20090527-150522-628) in file directory.
The file adapter in XI will poll to this directory and picks the file in first- in first-out by sorting according to timestamp.
To do this configuration what I have to do in sender file adapter please give me your valuable inputs.

How to delete one existing file before uploading a file with same name?

Hello everybody.
I am uploading a file to Tomcat server. But, the problem is:
i want to delete an existing file in the server, if i upload a fresh file with same name. In other words, "First check for the file with the same name in the server. If it exists, then delete existing file in the server and upload fresh one". If such file doesnot exist, then upload the file to server.
I have given deleteonExit()
but, for the first time when user is uploading, i want to check for the file with same name in the server.
i am pasting the code here. please help:

int byteRead = 0;
int totalBytesRead = 0;
while (totalBytesRead < formDataLength)

Thank you MartinHilpert,
I have one more doubt,

I'm not really a computer guy.Just got a Kodak easy share camera. When I import the photos, they go to the area with my name in a file with the date. How can I move them to iphoto, or even better, import them directly to iphoto??

I'm not really a computer guy. I just got a Kodak"easy share" camera. When I import the photos they go to the section with my name in a folder. How do I get them from there to iphoto, or better yet, how can i import them directly to iphoto?? As stated, I'm not knowledgable,have an imac and need real rudimentary direction.

in the iPhoto preferences be sure the action when camera is connected is open iPhoto
What program are you using to import the photos?
If they are in a folder you can drag that folder onto the iPhoto icon in the dock to import - our launch iPhoto and under the file menu import from that folder
For real rudimentary directions try the iPhoto tutorials - and it would be a worthwhile investment of time to take the iphoto tutorials - http://www.apple.com/findouthow/photos/ - they are very helpful and will save you a lot of time and frustration. for the concepts - actual commands mya have shanged in some cases - and under the iPhoto help menu ==> iPhoto help - watch the videos there

How to delete the file with space in name

Hi
I want to delete the file "test ex.txt" file.
i run the following command in command prompt.i can delete the file successfully.
/bin/rm -f /mnt/"test ex.txt"
I want to run the command from java.So i am using the following code
String cmd = "/bin/rm -f /mnt/\"test ex.txt\"";
Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
process = rt.exec(cmd);
The file was not deleted.
How to delete the file with space in name?
Help me

Use the form of exec that takes an array of command + args.
arr[0] = "/bin/rm"
arr[1] = "-f"
arr[2] = "/home/me/some directory with spaces";Or use ProcessBuilder, which is the preferred replacement for Runtime.exec, and which Runtime.exec calls.

For the situation you describe, Apple has provided Duplicate and Revert. Use File > Duplicate to reach this menu:
