Renaming of files by MDM Server (MDM 5.5 SP4)

Hi Experts,
I am checking the MDM Server Logs and found that there is always renaming of files happening from ".tmp" to ".xml" as shown below:
7560 2011/09/13 15:39:16.773 GMT SyndicateToPortImpl: rename files (0) "C:\PROGRA1\SAPMDM1.5\Server\Distributions\MR4_ORCL\BP US FUELS CUSTOMER MASTER_PRD\Outbound\SCDB_BP\Modify_BP_SCDB\Ready\Data_110913-153916_000.tmp"
to
"C:\PROGRA1\SAPMDM1.5\Server\Distributions\MR4_ORCL\BP US FUELS CUSTOMER MASTER_PRD\Outbound\SCDB_BP\Modify_BP_SCDB\Ready\Data_110913-153916_000.xml".
Can someone tell me why this renaming of files is happening?
Thanks!

Hi,
This should be happening to avoid incomplete files getting picked up by tools from the Ready folder.
So until the file is completely transferred into Ready folder, it gets created as .tmp and then it gets converted to .xml once the file is completely copied.
Same thing you can see when you archive a repository. The .a2a extension is different if the Archive operation aborts.
As per SAP MDM 7.1 Console reference guide , this is recommended to avoid issues with incomplete files. But in your case of MDM 5.5, if you say that you have not implemented this logic manually and it is happening automatically then it is good for you.

How to rename a file in Application server

Hi All,
Here I have a issue with the present file which is being generated in application server.
Before the completion of the file the EDI tool is extracting the file from the app server.So here I would like to generate the file with a temp name and then rename to the actual file name which EDI recognises and fetches.
Please correct me If I am wrong and let me know how to rename the file in application server.
Thanks,
Vijay N

you can try using unix command , if your application server is unix.
use move command
mv   <source> <target>
REPORT ZUNIX line-size 400
                no standard page heading.
data: unixcom like   rlgrap-filename.
unixcom = 'mv file1 file2'.
data: begin of tabl occurs 500,
        line(400),
      end of tabl.
data: lines type i.
start-of-selection.
refresh tabl.
call 'SYSTEM' id 'COMMAND' field unixcom
                id 'TAB'     field tabl[].
or else you can open dataset/ read the dataset and move it to another file and delete the old file.

Rename the file in application server

Hi Experts,
I want to rename the file which is in Application Server.
E.g:- Current File in Application Server is '\user\sd\file1'
I want to change the above file name to '\user\sd\file1_old' in Application Server.
Please help me if any one aware of this.
Thanks & Regards,
Chandu

Hello,
What you want to do is execute a command on the host operating system.
This can be done with function module SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE.
This module will execute commands that have been predefined in SAP. To see what is available look in SM49.
If you have the autorizations you can create your own or ask for it to be created.
More general information can be found [here|http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/ABAP/CreationofExternalCommandswiththehelpofUNIXCodingin+SAP].
Hope this is helpful.

Renaming a file on a server

I'm having some problems renaming a file from a form I created... here is my code below
String file = request.getParameter("file");
String newfile = request.getParameter("newfile");
File f = new File("/my path/" + file + "");
File newf = new File("/my path/" + newfile + "");
f.renameTo(newf);
Any idea why this is not working?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
It may due to space in your folder name.
Try using quote with escape sequence for your folder + file name.
File f = new File("\"/my path/" + file + "\"");
File newf = new File("\"/my path/" + newfile + "\"");
f.renameTo(newf);
Hope this helps.

Differences between various source files in mdm import manager

Hi,
Can anyone tell me the differences between the source files(access,xml,xml schema,excel) available in mdm import manager?
Thanks and regards,
Rithesh
Edited by: rithesh_shet on Mar 30, 2010 1:04 PM

Hi Ritesh,
MDM Import Manager provides flexibility to Import Data from different types of Sources into MDM.
You can import data into MDM from below mentioned sources using Import Manager:
1. From Files (Access, Delimited Text, Excel, Fixed Text, XML and XML Schema)
2. Directly from Data base source (SQL server and oracle)
As mentioned by Mandeep, XML Schema is something which you define in MDM console in advance. and then later select the Data source XML file and XML schema from drop down list (it will show all schema defined in console ) to validate XML source file against the XML schema.
For automated Import, Ports are used. Ports are nothing but a logical point of contact with other systems i.e. other systems or middleware will drop file on the port for authomatic import and MDM import server will scan the port directory and if file is present then will import data automatically from file into MDM using a predefine Import Map. (this map needs to be defined manually in import manager and then assigned to port using console).
Please check page no 45 of import manager reference guide for more details about various source properties of Import Manager. (*link for import manager reference guide is already provided on the earlier post)
Also check, page no 53 to 64 for how to import process. Kindly revert if you have any query.

Shiv

How to RENAME the file in UNIX-Appl. server, after READING it?

Hi Experts,
Following is my requirement,
What we are wanting here is the functionality added to this program that once the UNIX file is processed, that it can be closed and then renamed on the Application server with the yyyymmdd extension. For example, the program reads and processes the My_file.csv file today. Once it's finished, it then closes the file and renames it as My_file20080610.csv. By doing this, it will prevent the same file from being run the next day in case the new file is not sent.
So, pls. let me know that, How to RENAME is file in the UNIX - Appl. server, after reading it? obviuosly I closes it at the end.
thanq

Hi Srinivas,
You can create a My_file20080610.csv. Write the content from My_file.csv into My_file20080610.csv. Then using DELETE DATASET delete the file My_file.csv.
Thanks

Sending files from MDM

Hi All,
Is it possible to send files from MDM using syndication/API's. When i say files i mean that if we have arecord in MDM which has a image/pdf stored with it and we want to send this record along with the jpg/pdf to external system-ECC. Can we handle this in MDM

Hi Manish,
As per my understanding this is not possible to Syndicate images. You can do it only through MDM Data Manager.
Please find more threads with similar requirement:
Is it possible to export images, pdf?

Hi nitin,
1. Exactly for this purpose
    i have developed an INDEPENDENT SUBROUTINE (FORM)
in which we pass
    a) old file name
    b) new file name
and it will rename the file
(This will work in WINDOWS Operating system)
(we can modify it very little for other OS also_
2. just copy paste in new program.
3.
Report abc.
PERFORM MYRENAME USING 'D:\CCC.TXT' 'DDD.TXT'.
FORM
form myrename USING oldfile newfile.
data : pm(200) type c.
concatenate '/C REN ' oldfile newfile
INTO PM separated by space.
CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_RUN'

Batch rename files on the server?

Can someone explain how to batch rename files on the server ?
I have 1000 rows each containing these fields
id (unique key)
productCode
filename1
filename2
For every row I need to rename the following fields:
Rename [filename1] to [productCode]_[id]_1
Rename [filename2] to [productCode]_[id]_2
also I need to rename the actual file on the server using the above scheme
Can someone show me the way ? I'm a little rusty with ColdFusion

So far I've got everything working apart from CFFILE which works only if it finds a corresponding jpeg file on the server. In other words it works perfectly until row 20 of the database because the filename contained in the field doesn't have a matching jpeg file on the server, so CFFILE fails like this...
Attribute validation error for tag CFFILE.
The value of the attribute source, which is currently C:\images\DSCN1293.JPG, is invalid.
The error occurred in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\link\htdocs\old_apps\psp\updater.cfm: line 63
61 :                    action = "rename"
62 :                    source = #my_source1#
63 :                    destination = #my_destination1#>
is there a way to carry on looping through the remaining rows and ignore the above fail ?

How to Rename the file in the application server?

Hi friends.
How to Rename the file in the application server? via abap program so pls kindly let me know thr any function module is there.
Thanks
With Regards
I.Muthukumar.

Dont think there is any quick fix way of doin this, however you can use the following sequence of dataset ops to get what you need:
READ DATASET - retrieve contents of current AS file
TRANSFER DATASET - create a new file on AS with the contents read in READ
DELETE DATASET - delete the original file on AS (if TRANSFER above is successful)
Hope this approach helps.

Meanwhile is there any other way to get the SCA file.
Thanks

Opened message with SAP and they have approved the download basket. Now able to download the sca file.

Infopackage-Load Many Files from Application Server and later Archive/Move

Hi All..
I have a doubt,   I have a requirement of take many files to load into BI 7.0.. I used the infopackage before with option:
Load Binary File From Application server
I load information successfully... only with one file ...but If I can load many files (with different names) like the next list.. I think it's not a good idea modify the file name (path) on infopackage each time).. :
*All of this files will be on one server that itu2019s map into AL11.. Like
Infopfw
BW_LOAD_20090120.txt
BW_LOAD_20090125.txt
BW_LOAD_OTHER_1.txt
u2026.
Etc..
This directory it's not in BW server.. It's other server..but I can load form this location (one file by one)
Could you help me with this questions:
-     How can I Use an infopackage with routine that take all the files..one by oneu2026 in order of creation dateu2026and load into Target? Is it possible?.. I have some knowledge of ABAP.. but I don´t know exactly how I can say to system this logicu2026
-     In addition is it possible move this files to other locationu2026 like into Infopfwarchive u2026 just to have an history of files loaded.
I saw that in infopackage you have an option to create a routine.. in ABAP codeu2026 Iu2019m a little bit confused because I donu2019t know how I can specify all the path..
I try with:
Infopfw
InfopfwFile.csv
Infopfw
This is the abap code that automatically you see and you need to modifyu2026
Create a routine for file name
This routine will be called by the adapter,
when the infopackage is executed.
          p_filename =
          p_subrc = 0.
Thank you for your ideas or recommendations.
Al

Hi Reddy, thank you for your answer
I have some doubuts.. when you explain me the option:
All the above files are appending dates at the end of the file....
You can load the files through infopackage by using Routines and pick the files based on date at the end of the file..***
I need to ask you if you think that when you know the date of the file and the infopackage pick each file... thi can work for many files??... or how it's possible control this process?
About this option, I want to ask you If when you menction Unix code... where it's programed this code?.. in the routine of BW Infopackage??
****Or
Create two folders in your BW in Application server level, in AL11 (ask Basis team)
I call it is F1 and F2 folders.
First dump the files into F1 I assume that the file name in F1 is "BW_LOAD_20090120.txt", using Unix code you rename the file and then keep in the same foleder F1 or move to F2.
Then create InfoPackage and fix the file name (i.e. you renamed), so you don't need to change everyday your file name at infopackage level.Because in AL11 everyday the file are overwrite.
To I get BW_LOAD_20090120.txt file in F1, then I renamed to BW_LOAD.txt and loaded into BW, then tomorrow I get BW_LOAD_20090125.txt in F1, then I renamed to BW_LOAD.txt....
so in this way it will work.You need to schedule the Ubix script in AL11.
This is the way how to handle the application server...I'm using the same logic.
Thank you soo much.

Can't RENAME a file like Windows can?

Real easy. I just need to rename a file from this:
A2Capital.jpg
to this:
a2capital.jpg
I do this in Windows and of course every OS I have used since the 1990s at least. Why can't this be done in OS X 10.4.9?
I am on a network drive of a Windows Server, if that makes a difference. The error I always get is
The name a2capital with extension ".jpg" is already taken. Please choose a different name.
Oh, come on. This is an easy one, right?
It happens whether I click the filename or if I Show Info.
Mac Pro Quad 3.0 Mac OS X (10.4.9) I usually run Windows XP

OS X's filesystem, HFS+, is case-preserving, meaning
it stores the upper and lowercase characters of
file/folder names, however it's not case-sensitive
(unless you specify it as such when formatting the
disk in Disk Utility). In a case-preserving
filesystem, MyFile, mYfILE, myfile, and MYFILE all
reference the same file. There is no need to be rude
to Kappy, he was just trying to help. Here's some
reading if you want to learn more:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HFS_Plus
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparisonof_filesystem
s#fn_35
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Case-preserving
Note: HFSX in 10.3 added the ability to format a disk
as Case-Sensitive. If you didn't reformat your disk
when you got your Mac, it's Case-Preserving, not
Case-Sensitive.
I see what you mean by case sensitive. I think Macs and Windows are similar in this regard. All that means is that if I type in a command to run, or I type a filename to launch, the OS is forgiving if I say "BLaH.JpG" for a file that is really "blah.JPG" -- if it's on the hard drive like that already.
You bet. But in both Mac and Windows it seems, I can rename the file to whatever mixed case I want and get no errors.
I only have this problem on the network drive,
which like I said is a Windows 2003 Server share.
Because your question is in the context of renaming a
file on a remote Windows share, then all the talk of
whether HFS is case-sensitive or not doesn't matter.
I'm assuming the share you're connected to when
trying to do this rename is NTFS? Macs use Samba to
connect to Windows shares. I've never tried to do
what you're doing through a samba share. It could be
Samba, or it could be how you have your share set up.
It does look like a Samba idiosyncrasy. I have used Samba before in FreeBSD (a relative to Darwin/OS X) but I would have no idea if that was the case there.
Samba has traditionally had some oddities, bugs, and problems due to the nature of open-sourcing a Windows custom secret network system. But Macs do claim to be interoperable with other networks and systems. This can't be unusual. Lots of people need to connect to a Windows share.
Ha, to be honest, I don't think I would even try to setup a NFS share on the Windows server, and there aren't any UNIX servers at this location.
Who heads up the Samba stuff for Mac OS?
