Dynamic report output file name

Hi,
I am generating a report using web interface by sending http string with required parameters.
Each time I run this report I am appending current date & time (mmddyyhhmm) string to the output file name.
Successfully I am able to get the outputs.
For example:
If report runs at 9:30am then MyReportOutput_0205040930.html
If report runs at 12:45pm then MyReportOutput_0205041245.html
But, I am facing the problem when I schedule the report. I want to append the report run date & time to the output file for scheduled runs.
Is it possible?
Please advise.
Thank you,
Prasad

hi,
for that you will have to use reports distribution. in the distribution XML file you can specify data fields from the report for various attributes, including the output file name.
you will have to create a column in your datamodel that creates this timestamp and then add it to your report name.
see the distribution/bursting example here on OTN for further information. click onthe getting started link on the reports homepage and then navigate to the INDEX. there you will find an overview of all the examples available.

Customized report result file name?

Hi,
If we schedule a report, can we give different name to the resultant report file?
For example report file name is ABC_REPORT.rdf and output format is HTML and scheduled daily at 2:00AM.
0n 08/15 report output should be ABC_REPORT_08150200.HTML and 0n 08/16 report output should be ABC_REPORT_08160200.HTML and so on.
Is it posiible? If so, where we need prepare the report output file name?
Thank you,
Prasad

Hi Prasad
In before report trigger you can create the desired name using value from your user parameters and set the value for desname parameter. This would solve your issue.
Thanks

Dynamic output file name for scheduling a BIP report

Hi All,
I have a BI Publisher report. It has Department as prompt. we need to run the report for each department. I need to schedule the report such that, for each department i need to FTP the output with file name as department_INFO.pdf in the one folder (i.e. if dept is ABC, then i need to store the output with file name as ABC_INFO.pdf and ftp to the folder). Folder will be created already in the server.
We have around 40 departments, so i need to manually schedule this report 40 times with 40 files names and ftp the output to the folder in the server.
Can we dynamacally give the output file name based on the prompt we are using to run, instead of manually scheduling for each department.
Please help me ASAP..we cant move further due to this problem.
Regards,
Sandy

When I save a PDF report the file name is xdo instead of "report name.pdf"

Hi,
I started a new project with BI Publisher integrated with OBIEE, I builded a set of reports that are working properly (these are the first reports on this OBIEE/BIP server)
Accessing Oracle BI Cataloge I can run the reports and change the output format to pdf.
when I press the right mouse button and select "save as" a dialog box appears.
On the "File name" field, the default name that BIP writes is "xdo" I would like it to be the "name of the report.pdf".
It seems that if I create a new report the file name is correct but if I change the name of the report then BIP always selects XDO as the default file name.
Is there any place where I can configure the default name.

Thanks for the quick reply. I figured out how to get the desired results by using tagging. For anyone who may reference this post in the future, I went to "Customize" in the top right corner of Adobe, then selected "Create new tool set...", looked under "accessiblity and found the "tag" option. Hit ok, tag is added to the toolbar. Then I highlighted the dataset in the PDF that was relevant to the output format, then clicked "tag", saved as spreadsheet. Sorry I can't provide more details on how tagging works or if there's a more elegant solution available, but I'm sure one's out there.

Setting output file name in export transaction data package

Hi all,
I am running an "export transaction data" package in the data manager. I wanted to set the output file name so that it will be a constant value. I wrote the following in the package editor:
INFO(%FILE%,\ROOT\WEBFOLDERS\COLMOBIL\VEHICLES1\DATAMANGER\DATAFILES\vehicles_to_pca2.txt)
TASK(/CPMB/TD_FILE_TARGET,FULLFILENAME,%FILE%)
The system run the package and reported success but the file was not created. When i did the same with an existing file name, it was not updated.
When I run the same package with the following PROMPT command instead of the INFO command:
PROMPT(OUTFILE,,"Please enter an output file",Data files (*.txt)|*.txt|All files(*.*)|*.*)
The system works fine.
Any ideas?
TIA
Avihay

I am sad to report that apparently Adobe does not do a very good job with the PDF printer. I have just spent over an hour with support to get the answer we can not help you. I guess I will have to spend $50 for NovaPDF to handle my problem. It's a shame when a superior overall product like Acrobat is not able to keep up with the knockoffs on the small things.

XML Publisher - Specify Output file name

Hi All
I am using XML Publisher in one of our OAF pages to generate PDF reports based on some parameters. I am using the shared region which OAF has provided. On export, I see that the output file name is : template code + random number + _out.pdf. Is there anyway to specify custom output file name?? As this is little critical for me, any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Murari

Hi Avaneesh,
Thanks for your prompt response. I see that the logic for file name is in xml publisher utility class: DocumentHelper. I dont see any option to pass file name as a parameter to DocumentHelper. So I am not sure if extending OAF region controller : "DocumentViewerCO.java" would be of any help?? Please correct me if I am wrong. Did you ever try changing output file name from OAF page?
Many thanks,
Murari

Output file names from Premiere sequences in AME CS5

Why, oh why, does AME not automatically names files according to their sequence names when added from a Premiere project? Instead, it auto-names them sequentially based on the project name. It is extremely annoying and confusing when trying to queue-up a project with many sequences.
Is there a way to change this behavior (other than to simply disable "Increment output file name", which results in multiple targets of the same exact name) ?
I really wish you could have it name the files like the sequence names.

Just to confirm what you're saying: Premiere Pro sequences added to AME from Premiere Pro are not being named properly? Because they should be...
However, Premiere Pro sequences added to AME from AME (File > Add Premiere Pro Sequence) are NOT named for the sequence, and there is no way around this; you get the project name with a serial digit. There is no setting to change this behavior, unfortunately--it is how it is.
I must agree: it is a particularly annoying oversight. How to change this behavior? Like this: Adobe - Feature Request/Bug Report Form

RDL reports(2008).File name after using Export to Excel is not comming properly in mozilla firefox.

I am using Export to Excel functionality in rdl report.
File name should be "Profitabilty By Buyer". It is working as expected in IE and chrome.
But in mozilla firefox the file name appears as "Profitabilty".
So the issue is it doesnt consider anything after space and user requirement is such that I cant put underscore("_") also instead of space.
Kindly suggest the proper solution.

Hi Mukesh,
Reporting Services, we use a Web browser to view the report that deploy to Report Service. However, not all report functionally is supported by all browsers. Such as, the print button is not supported in Mozilla Firefox. It works only in Internet Explorer
due to it uses ActiveX for the print button.
I have tested it on my local environment, (SQL Server Reporting Services 2008, Firefox 28.0), we cannot reproduce this issue. So the issue can be the custom setting of your browser. Since SSRS reports are not about targeting NON-IE browsers, so in your scenario,
we recommend you use IE to view report on Report Manager.
And you said that you cannot put underscore ("_") also instead of space. However we can do this which you can see on the screenshot below.

How to get the Output File Name as One of the Field Value From Payload

Hi All,
I want to get the Output file name as one of the Field value from payload.
Example:
Source XML
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
- <ns0:MT_TEST xmlns:ns0="http://sample.com">
- <Header>
<NAME>Bopanna</NAME>
</Header>
</ns0:MT_TEST>
I want to get the Output file name as " Bopanna.xml"
Please suggest me on this.
Regards
Bopanna

Hi,
There are couple of links already available for this. Just for info see the below details,
The Output file name could be used from the field value of payload. For this you need to use the UDF DynamicFile name with below code,
// Description: Function to create dynamic Filename
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container.getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File" , "FileName");
conf.put(key,a);
return "";
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container.getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File" , "FileName");
conf.put(key,a);
return "";
With this udf map it with the MessageType as
(File Name field from Payload) > DynamicFileConfiguration>MTReceiver
Thanks

Hi All,
How can i configure output file name to the desired format generated in target directory in communication channel configuration in conf scenario.
ex: i want to generate the file in the below format..
YYYYMMDD_<Receiver>.TXT
Thanks and Regards
Venkatesh

Hi,
This is the UDF u have to write in Mapping,
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;
Using this u will get the File name into target side,In this UDF add the Time stamp.
Check this link for more details.

Require output file name same as input file without extension

I am doing a POC where I require that my output file name should be same as input file name. The input is a XML and output is Flatfile. If I use %SourceFileName%,
i am getting the output with extension. How can I remove the extension? Do I need to write a custom pipeline component?

I don't think Orchestration or custom Pipeline can help you on this as you are setting
%SourceFileName% Macros at your send Handler which comes after Pipeline Processing .
As you are converting xml file to Flat file I would suggest to use Macros as
%SourceFileName%.txt
%SourceFileName% Macro gives the file name along with extention. This won't work!

When I open up an e-mail attachment a box pops up PRINT TO FILE below that line OUTPUT FILE NAME with an empty line for the file name vs. simply going to my default printer?

when I open up an e-mail attachment a box pops up PRINT TO FILE below that line OUTPUT FILE NAME with an empty line for the file name vs. simply going to my default printer?

Make sure that '''''Print to File''''' isn't selected in the native print dialog box ''(see screenshot below)'' middle-right, and make sure your Printer is selected at the top of that dialog box.
''I'm a little confused why an email attachment would need to go directly to the printer, but that's what you asked about.''

How to programmatically disable prompts for output file names in Acrobat X

My code to programmatically disable output file names (below) is not working on a Windows 7 64-bit machine using Acrobat Distiller X. It works perfectly on a Windows XP machine with Acrobat Distiller 8.
The latest API Reference I was able to find is dated June 2008. My logic follows this convention.
I have confirmed that the registry key is updated as specified below. I have also confirmed that I am able to write to the directory indicated.
Please provide any suggestions to resolve.
Thank You!

'Create the Registry Key where Acrobat looks for a file name
        CreateNewRegistryKey HKEY_CURRENT_USER, _

'Put the output filename (FilePath) where Acrobat could find it

I remember seeing that the problem is thunking. A little more specifically, because it's a 32-bit driver but a 64-bit executable, there's a 32-bit system spooler process which will always show up as the EXE name.
