Rename file name & format using ftp sender

Hi all,
This is regarding the renaming of file at sender file(FTP) communication channel and placeing the same file in the same folder.
At FTP server at sender side (i.e.clients place) is in .txt format.But now .txt file has to rename and change into .sav foramt with below required name convention of file.
client format is : SAP_Order.txt (Pervious file name).
We need to change the file in to "SAP_Order_yyyymmddThhmmss.sav" format..
How can i achieve this requirement?
Can please suggests me solutions ASAP.
Best Regards,
satya,

Hi,
if your requirement is to pick the existing file in the FTP folder...and send as idoc to the target and place the renamed file to FTP folder...
then its simple...
use two receivers instead of one , one for point to target and other for sender itself... (second receiver is for changing the file name format....)
Hope the above understanding is correct...if not provide more details of your requirement...

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

Why does photoshop automatically rename file names when using save for web?

All of a sudden when choosing Save for Web, when i type in a name for my file in the File Name: dialog box, when you click "save", it saves the selected slices as the name of the document and not what i typed.
For example: My psd file is called "website header" and i want to save the slices with the name "index". If i save slice-02 or slice-06 it will save as "index_02.jpg" but if i choose slice 01, it will save as "website-header_01"

Check your settings in the SfW output options and yopur slice names in PS itself.

Run Applet On Server Using 8.3 File Name Format

Hello Everyone,
I am currently trying to produce an applet that will display content from a PLC (which hosts its own webpage).The PLC itself only allows files using the 8.3 file name format to be stored on it (eg. 123456789.123).
I have tried a few simple things, such as changing the ".class" file extension to ".cls". But this just produced an error in my internet browser (IE 8).
Any help and/or work-arounds would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,

How to send multiple files in parallel using ftp with single connection

Hi.
i have written code for file upload manager using ftp..
it perfectly working with sequence file uploading in single connection..
And i tried to upload multiple files with parallel processing in a single connection.... but it is not working properly.. i also used thread concept
but single file only transfered and connection refused...
my code here...
//////////////////// main class //////////////////////////////////////////
ftp.connect();
ftp.login();
String [] archivos = new String[100];
                                  File dir = new File("C:\\Files Uploading\\");
                                   archivos = dir.list();
                                   for (int s=0; s<archivos.length;s++)
     //Start Data Transfer Here
     new DataTransfer(archivos[s]).start();
                                   Thread.sleep(1000);
/////////////////////// thread class ////////////////////////////////
class DataTransfer extends Thread
      String FileName="";
      String LocalPath="",RemotePath="";
       public DataTransfer(String fname)
     FileName = fname;
     LocalPath = "C:\\Files Uploading\\" + FileName;
     RemotePath = FileName;
     System.out.println(LocalPath);
        public void run()
                    System.out.println("DataTransfer Started");
     /File Transfer Here
     try
           FileInputStream input = new FileInputStream(LocalPath);
                           Ftp_Client.storeFile(RemotePath,input);
     System.out.println("Successfully sent : " + RemotePath);
     catch (Exception exc)
          System.out.println(exc.getMessage());
          System.out.println("DataTransfer Ended");
     }otherwise tell me any other alternate way

And i tried to upload multiple files with
parallel processing in a single connection....
but it is not working properly.FTP isn't a multiplexing protocol. How could it work at all?

Processing files in Sequence using FTP Adapter

Hi Experts,
I have searched several forums but i am not clear on how to process the files using FTP Adapter based on Timestamp.
To process the files in sequence i.e, FIFO using FTP Adapter
i have the files with file name customer and timestamp : customer<yyyyMMddHHmmss>
there are around 50 files in the FTP server llike this.
I need to process these files acording to the timestamp and place the files in same processing sequence in the receiver end using the file adapter.
If i specify the parametes in sender FTP Adapter as
Qos= EOIO
Queue name = ACCOUNT
Whether these parameters would do the processing in sequence according to the Timestamp?
Suppose if the queue ID for Inbound(SMQ2) is XBTI0_ACCOUNT then whether it will be the same for Outbound(SMQ1)?
Kindly suggest me how to process the files in sequence according to the Timestamp using FTP Adapter
Please reply..
Thanks
Sai

Hi Shabarish,
But this would require one more additional channel to process
So i think it will take more time to process.
Let me clarify my question once again.
I need to Pick the files from FTP server based on their TimeStamp and in sequence.
the file names are like this Customer<YYYYMMDDHHmmSS>.
suppose i have 3 files as
Customer20050413044534
Customer20050414053430
Customer20050315034533
So i need to pick these files in this order and place the files in the same order to the receiver end(File Adapter)
Customer20050315034533
Customer20050413044534
Customer20050414053430.
As i am using FTP sender adapter i cannot use processing sequence "By Date".
please suggest me on this.
Thanks
Sai.

File name format of rotated access log

Hi,
I'm using wls5.1sp9 on Solaris.
Is it possible to specify a different file name format of the rotated http access
logs?
Instead of getting files named access.log0001 and so on, I would prefer access.log.<date>
or some other custom format.
Best regards,
Torleif Galteland

Hi,
Thanks for your response. But I have another query. The name of the file as per your reply is like UsageReport.xls correct? Now my query is, should it contain some date,account id/orgid etc associated for that usage. The reason for my query is that if MSP
downloads the usage for different orgs having same bill date then it would conflict with the different usage files.
Thanks And Regards,

IPhoto: After I've changed the file name/format in Finder iPhoto can't load/relink to the referenced file.

After I've changed the file name/format in Finder iPhoto can't load/relink to the referenced file anymore. For some reasons I don't like to reimport the file.

Hmm the advice has been not to use referenced libraries - you ignored and did it anyway and you find the advise not helpful
Furthermore the advice is that if you choose to use a referenced library that you assure that the path never changes - you also choose to ignore that advice and do it anyway - and you blame the peopson trying to help you
once again - you have one choice - change the file names back and put the files back in the exact same place - and again you are totally ignoring the advice and instead name calling and attacking the person giving you advice
Maybe life would be easier if you followed advice rather than ignoring it and then complaining that things no longer work
change the name back and you will be fine until the next problem you hit that is caused by choosing a referenced library
Have a nice day

Custom File Name Format in B2B Console

Hi,
Please let me know if we can have a customized File Name Format in the B2B Console for the X12 EDI/XML Files.
I have read the Oracle doc and only the following formats are mentioned:
%FROM_PARTY%
%TO_PARTY%
%DOCTYPE_NAME%
%DOCTYPE_REVISION%
%MSG_ID%
%TIMESTAMP%
Is there a way to have a PO# (From the Trading Partner Payload) in the filename format?
You help is appreciated.
Thanks
Priyanka G

no. It has the format which helps B2B in identifying the agreement

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.

There isn't a feature in Adobe Send for setting and end-date for a file's availability. At any time, you can Unshare the file, however.

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.

Dynamic file name in receive FTP file adapter

Hi, All,
I have a ABAP proxy -> FTP scenorio. The sender side MT is like this:
<Sender_MT>
<FileName>abc.txt</FileName>
<Record>
      <TEXT>.......</TEXT>
      <TEXT>.......</TEXT>
     <TEXT> ......</TEXT>
</Record>
</Sender_MT>
I would like to output the data which are the values of the tags <TEXT> to a flat file with the file name of the value of <FileName>
I tried to use Variable Substitution in FTP CC. I set a val1 = payload:Sender_MT:1,FileName,1 . But I got an error says "Unknown structure 'ns0:Sender_MT' found in document'. I looked at the message monitoring. It shows payload <n0:Sender_MT>. not <ns0:Sender_MT>. I think that is why I got the error. Then I tried to use XSLT mapping. I set
<Receiver_MT>
<Record>
     <xsl:value-of select="ns0:Sender_MT/Record"/>
</Record>
</Receiver_MT>
But I get an error says "XMLParser: No data allowed here: (hex) 32, 64, 66(:main:, row:1, col:3): ".
Could anybody help me out? Thanks!
Jack
Edited by: Jack Mathew on Jun 4, 2009 6:22 PM

Dude this looks purely like a variable reference error. Have you mapped the the Filename field in the target too? UR XSLT mapping dosent seem to indicate that... run ur mapping test to check that..
Second ... if ur source structure is hierarchcially similar then var 1 should be -
payload:Receiver_MT:1,FileName,1
