Sort a file before mapping in XI Repository

Hello,
I have a incoming file in XI but it is not sorted.
How this file creates IDOC FI, I have to sort it before to do the mapping.
Anyone has a solution?
Is it possible to do it in the Directory part?
Thanks for advance to help me.
Bye.

Well in my opinion you can sort it only in IR while doing mapping. Because sorting will be done only after data is picked up. And in ID if it is possible then it will be done by using x-path.
Unfortunately I don't know if we can sort it in ID by some way.
I guess you want to pick the file based on some kind of number range or some specific condition in your Receiver Determination to route the data to different Recevers.

Sort Segments data before Mapping?

Hey all,
I'm working on an 856 EDI with this structure:
- E1EDL37   [Pack Level]
- - E1EDL44 [Item Level (many details for every pack)
In this structure i have a code that determinates a message split for every unique code, everything looks ok, but, when i get an order like this:
E1EDL37-EXIDV2: "1132"
E1EDL37-EXIDV2: "2138"
E1EDL37-EXIDV2: "3319"
E1EDL37-EXIDV2: "1132" <-- repeated and not in order
- I can't sort the item levels correctly [EDL44]
- I only sort correctly the EDL37 order (since i'm mapping within "VHILM_KU" which is a customer material code, i sort the structure like this:
EXIDV2       ===>
VHILM_KU ===> SortByKey ===>SplitByV [Each] => "HP"
But when i need to map the item level i don't know how to sort it (I need to map E1EDL44-MATNR, POSNR, CHARG, etc), since i can't use the E1EDL37-EXIDV2 as key since this belong to other other queue
Example:
E1EDL37 [EXIDV2 => 1132]
E1EDL44-POSNR = 1
E1EDL37 [EXIDV2 => 2138]
E1EDL44-POSNR = 2
E1EDL44-POSNR = 3
E1EDL37 [EXIDV2 => 1132]
E1EDL44-POSNR = 4
I would need to sort it and then map like this:
E1EDL37 [EXIDV2 => 1132]
E1EDL44-POSNR = 1
E1EDL37 [EXIDV2 => 1132]
E1EDL44-POSNR = 4
E1EDL37 [EXIDV2 => 2138]
E1EDL44-POSNR = 2
E1EDL44-POSNR = 3
My map is like this:
E1EDL37 ---> . "G_HI" [0.unbounded]
                         . "HP" [0.unbounded
                        [ with the sort i mentioned, and pack data]
E1EDL44 -
> . "HI" [0.unbounded] [Item level data within]
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Refer following link to have some idea on Advance UDF.
difference between Simple and Advance UDF
Advanced UDF
When you create new UDF with type "Queue", all the input would be available as array inside UDF.
Than you can loop around that element.
f.e.
for (int i = 0 ; i < Input.length;i++)
// Write your sort logic here , search on google and you would find many sorting algo in Java.
// Add sorted element in result.
result.addValue (SortedElement);

How to sort source file beforfe mapping

Dear all,
Its a file (fixed length) to Idoc(FIDCC1) scenario.
Source file has the following fields:
Date
Account
Cost Center
Debit Amount
Credit Amount
Etablissement
The mapping requirement is:
1. Per 'Etablissment' code, an Idoc(FIDCCP01) has to be generated.
2. Per IDOC, segment E1F1SEG has to be created for each line in flat file, for their respective etablissment code.
Per line in the flat file the difference between the debit and credit amount is the amount that has to be posted per segment (posted amount is always positive). If zero no segment is created
3. Date and Account fields would go into fields in segment E1FIKPF, this segment will not repeat, there'll be only one segement per idoc (like header data)
Now the issue is:
The source file is not sorted per etablissment code.
Etablissment can has value 001 in 1st and 3rd record and 002 in 2rd and 4th record. in this case, We need to create 2 idocs, 1 for code 001 and another for 002. Each IDOC should have 2 segments of E1FISEG, corresponsding to their etablissment code.
then for each idoc, the first record details should go to E1FIKPF segment of idoc.
I could create Idoc based on code, by the following mapping,
Etablissmentcode -> remove context -> sort -> split by value (value changed) -> collapse context -> IDOC
But i'm cluless as to how to go about with the logic of E1FISEG segment creation and populating other fields of E1FIKPF.
Please help me out. Is it achievable thruogh graphical mapping?

Hi ,
Please use the below logic for mapping
1. for creating IDOC=
Etablissement>sort>splitbyvalue(value change)>collapse contextIDOC
2. to create as many segment as of number of line item
Etablissement>sort>splitbyvalue(value change)-segment
3. foe each element under the segment
Etablissement>sort bye key>splitbyvale(each value)--> corresponding account at IDOC
Account-->
hope this will solve you problem.
thanks

I tested it if your source and target structure matches as I have given here then it will definitely work. try it out.

My files no longer sort properly - files beginning with AEIOU come before

My files no longer sort properly - files beginning with AEIOU come first after numbers and special characters, then letters H, K, M-N, P, W, B-D and so on. I click on the column header again and it reverses the sort, but still messed up. This convoluted sort appears in all views. All the letters are grouped together, so all the "a"s, "e"s, etc are being sorted by some algorithm, but it's not alphabetical. I noticed it after installation of Snow Leopard, but it could have been that way before. I did a wipe and load and just imported user settings from Time Machine afterwards. Any suggestions on how I can fix this?

Usually, it is (1) a preference file located here
<user home folder>/Library/Preferences/
In this case, the problem is not just Finder if it also happens in Mail. Unfortunately, there are a lot of preference files.
Or it is (2) a background process that runs when you log in to your account. If it is something that starts automatically, it may be one of your Login Items. You can look at System Preferences Accounts pane +Login Items+ tab. That list shows processes that run when you log in to that account. If you see anything that you no longer need, you should remove it. Look for anything there that might, for whatever reason, change the alphabetical sort order.
Make sure English is selected as language in System Preferences +Language & Text+ pane. It seem improbable that it would not be, but I just noticed there is a setting at the bottom of that pane that says +Order of sorted lists+. Does that have something other than English ?

Sorting incoming files based on payload content

Hi,
I have a file>XI-> FILE scenario...I need to sort the incoming file based on payload content...But my understanding is in XI each line item would be processed one at a time...Is it possible to sort the entire file before beginning to process???

Hi Ken,
you can try to create generic content sorting with java mapping:

Invalid tag generated in result XML file, xslt mapping done using MAPFORCE

HI
My requirement is File to File using xslt mapping
I have done a very simple XSLT mapping, but through MAPFORCE tool
Here are the steps, I followed:
1. Supplied source xsd and xml file to MAPFORCE
2. Supplied target xsd file
3. mapped it as required
4. tested by supplying a sample xml file by clicking OUTPUT button, which displays perfect XML structure
5. Clicked XSLT button and copied and created a new file with extension .xsl file
6. Zipped the above xsl file
7. imported into IR imported archives folder
8. Selected the above xslt mapping in my Interface mapping.
9. Now tested my Interface Mapping by supplying sample some data for the source structure.
Now I got the error or warning "XML not well-formed" and got the successfull completion message window for my mapping when I proceed.
Now when I clicked xml source button for the target structure, It displays the invalid tag and starting with "#default"
So If I removed this particular tag at the first and last lines, it becomes a valid xml structure and able to see properly in my internet explorer
Here is the result I am getting:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<#default:MT_Student_Result xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="urn:xsltMappingScenarios C:/DOCUME~1/Satya/Desktop/MT_Student_Result.xsd">

    <Marks>
      <Total_Marks>166</Total_Marks>
    </Marks>
</Data>
</#default:MT_Student_Result>
When I tested through MAPFORCE it generates absolutely valid XML structure when I clicked OUTPUT button on MAPFORCE, but not when I used the xslt mapping through my interface mapping.
What is the error I am making or any step missing?
Please help me!

For some reason when I use MapForce tool to generate my xslt mapping source, it is generating the following statement in the xsl file.
     <xsl:namespace-alias stylesheet-prefix="n" result-prefix="#default"/>
So at the root element of XML file, it is replacing the character n with '#default' for some reason, I don;t know the purpose of this.
As you suggested, I changed the name space, still I experienced same problem.
It is now resolved after removing the above xsl statement from the xsl file before creating/uploading the relevant zip file into archives folder.
It works fine now. Thanks for the clue.

How can I get Elements 11 Organiser to sort by File Name as in Elements 7

I have just acquired Elements 11 to replace Elements 7
All my main photos (thousands) are in 1 file on my computer.
My individual file names are dates - eg "1960-09Sept Venice St Marks Square.." etc, so File Names bring my thousands of images up in date order.
I have tagged them in Elements 11 as appropriate with 1 or more Tags per photo.
In Elements 7 there is an Option "Display" and one of the options is "Folder Location" i.e file name order, which is what I want.
I cannot find this option in Elements 11 - all I have found is an option to sort by just "new" or "old" i.e file date order. Fine for photgraphs where the file date is the same as the photo but a scan done today may be of an image in 1960 which is where I wanted it sorted!
I know you can amend the file date in Elements 11 for each image but I have hundreds of scans to redate!
I also know you can bring the images up in Elements 11 of my whole file by using "Reveal in Explorer" which brings them up in file name/date order for me but not when I click on the Elements 11 Tags which reverts to File Date.
Is there anyway I can get the Tags to sort by File Name/Location in Elements 11 as in Elements 7?
Tony

Many thanks for your previous message. Very useful.
In fact in preparing to answer your question, I find that maybe my problem is not as bad as I thought!
Yes, I have a lot of photos but the majority in digital form are photos (2,500) since the year 2000 which will be sorted by Elements according to the photo/file date.
I have 6,000 or so prints/slides going back mostly to the 1930s but quite a few back as far as the late 1800s. I am scanning a lot of these into digital form but I have only scanned about 500 or so so far and it is only these that are causing a problem. (I am unlikely to scan all 6,000!). These range from the 1880s to 2000. However, as I only started taking digital photos in 2000, if I follow your suggestion, I could give all my scans the same file date (a date prior to 2000) and if I understand correctly what you say, they will then all be sorted in the alpha/numeric order I want.
Have I got this right?.
I suppose, as an alternative, It would not be a real problem to insert a file date for the 500 or so I have scanned and I would then just need to enter a file date for any future scans.
As you indicate, there are other options but one of the 2 options above seem at present to be my best bet.
Thank you very much for your suggestions - maybe I can now more or less get what I want without too much effort but I would still prefer Adobe to add a File Location Option as before!

Is Bridge supposed to sort raw files by date modified? Not on my systems.

I have just installed photoshop/bridge cs5 on two windows 7 systems, home premium 64 bit, one an i3 chip and the other an i7 chip. I was formerly using cs3.
I see that Bridge is not sorting my raw files by date modified like it did before. It sorts jpg files okay. I noticed that the xmp files associated with the raw files, when I hover over them in Windows Explorer show the correct modified date but the thumbnail icon shows only creation date, which I assume is as it shou ld be. Why doesn't Bridge CS5 sort raw files by date modified as it did in CS3? CS3 must have referred to the xmp file modified date to use for sorting, I would think.
I should also mention that the metadata file does not show the correct date modified, but gives the same date as the creation date. Also the thumbnails for raw images that have been modified correctly show the icon that indicates it was modified.
Also, I see that when you hover over a thumbnail in Bridge CS5 nothing is revealed about the file. In CS3 Bridge hovering over a thumbnail showed several pieces of data about the file including anything in the file info.
Is this just how Bridge CS5 works or have I missed a setting somewhere in Bridge or Windows?

Curt, thanks for your response. The tool tips
was not checked and did result in "hovering"
working. I'm not sure why that's called tool tips, but okay.
I have just installed the software in the last
few days. I almost immediately got an update
notice and installed the update. I thought I was
up to date. Then, just a while ago I got another
update notice. After installing it the sorting
now works. Thanks much. Problems seem to be solved.

Problem in Creating .wsdl file and mapping.xml with ant

hi
i am created my .wsdl file and mapping.xml file with wscompile tool but when i run this by ant tool it show a problem.
the command runs on command prompt but when run throught ant file it shows a following error :-
Execute failed: java.io.IOException: CreateProces: wscompile -define -mapping build\classes\META-INF\mapping.xml -d . -nd build\.................and so on
so if anybody have any idea then plz help me asap
thanx

The following Ant snippet is the way I've defined my wscompile task. I'm creating a web application and it looks like yours might be an EJB endpoint, but you can adjust where necessary:
<taskdef name="wscompile" classname="com.sun.xml.rpc.tools.ant.Wscompile">
     <classpath refid="compile.classpath" />
</taskdef>
<target name="init">
     <echo message="-------- ${appname} --------" />
</target>

     <target name="generate-server-from-WSDL" depends="init">
          <wscompile fork="yes"
                       keep="true"
                       base="${basedir}/WebContent/WEB-INF/classes"
                       import="true"
                       features="wsi"

                       mapping="${basedir}/WebContent/WEB-INF/jaxrpc-mapping.xml"
                       sourcebase="${basedir}/src"
                       config="${config.server.doclit.file}">
               <classpath>
                    <path refid="compile.classpath" />
               </classpath>
          </wscompile>
     </target>
     <target name="compile-server-from-WSDL" depends="generate-server-from-WSDL">
          <javac srcdir="${basedir}/src" destdir="${basedir}/WebContent/WEB-INF/classes" debug="${compile.debug}">
               <classpath refid="compile.classpath" />
          </javac>
     </target>Just make sure that the named destination directories exist before you run the script.

Sorting the file in file content conversion.

Hi all,
we have a file(xml)-pi-file(flat file) scenario,
where we need to sort the output file by employee id field.
Where can we achieve the sorting of file by particular field.
Do we have any option in Mapping(Functions) ??
Any option is Reciever File Adapter??
Reciever File content conversion??
Any inputs will be of gr8 help.
Regards.
santosh.

Hello,
Where can we achieve the sorting of file by particular field.
Do we have any option in Mapping(Functions) ??
Yes, there is a function in message mapping called sort and sortByKey, these can be found under node functions. To sort the ID, you can use this code
ID --> removeContext --> sort:(ascending or descending) --> ID
Use sortByKey to sort the additional details of the flatfile according to ID number e.g.
ID --> removeContext --> sortByKey:(ascending or descending) --> IDDetails
Details --> removeContext --> /
Any option is Reciever File Adapter??
Reciever File content conversion??
The receiver file adapter with FCC only converts the structure that is defined in your target message type into, say for example a text file. You have to do the manipulations in the message mapping.
Hope this helps,
Mark

File Adapter - Sort Input file

Hi There,
I am trying to process the file I receive in XI for an external system ( Flat File) .
I need to sort the file and then add de-limiters.
Do I do this in the adapter or in during mapping.
Any help is appreciated.

Hi,
<i>This file has many records. Several accounting documents are embedded in it.</i>
>>>SO you need to sort these records right ?
So it is a flat file.
1) first of all you need to pick the file. So as you told file is a flat file right ? What is the delimter for the incoming file ? Based on this , you need to convert this flat file into field details with file content conversion option available in the Sender File Adapter configuration
2) Now you need to sort the records. This you can do in the Mapping.
3) If you want to send mulitple files into your Target system, you can do this in the XI with mapping and Receiver determination.
To feel about flat file scenario in XI-

Numbers still unable to sort large files

It only took about 30 seconds to discover Numbers 09 still does not have the capability to sort large files (10,000+ rows by 15 columns). I originally thought I had discovered a workaround but that fizzled as well since it was a "one shot" with all subsequent attempts getting the spinning beach ball even though the single column sort showed properly just before the beach ball. I posted several "Problem notices" after having to force quit every time I used 09. Since this would be the only reason for me to upgrade to 09 especially after having 08 only a couple of months I guess I will just have to put off thinking about it until there is a serious enough upgrade for my purposes.

Thanks for the information Ivan. However, I only have two formulas in the entire spreadsheet with one of them being just a counter (previous cell plus one) and the other determining the age of an individual from their date of birth and date of death.
I probably should have noted that I did get the sort to work one time albeit allowing the automatic feature to run its course between changing the column selections.
I.E.
Select the entire sheet except row one.
Click on Reorganize.
Click on Plus sign to bring up second selector > wait for automatic responses to complete.
(there were two separate "barometers" that came up with redisplay following each one.)
Click on first column selector and select D > wait for automatic responses and redisplays.
Click on second column selector and select C > wait for automatic responses and redisplays.
It looks like I made an assumption here that may not be true - that the TEAM had access to the problem reports where all this was spelled out in detail along with several attempts afterwards that would fail (Spinning beachball) after the first selection and redisplay regardless of whether there were one or two selectors in the sort popup.

N200: Sorting of Files in Fol

Dear Community!
Does anybody here know which characters the N200 uses for the sorting of files in a folder?
If I rename my files to 0-..., 02-... sorting works correctly, but with foobar-0-..., foobar-02-... I got a completely randomly sorted play order. Thus, I presume the player only takes the first n characters for sorting. But I would be interested in the value of n without having to do a lot of research work :-)
Any ideas or experiences here?
Best regards
Christoph

Hi!
You're right, the n200 will play songs in the order of any numbers placed at the beginning of a filename. If there is no number at the beginning of a filename, then it will play the songs in alpabetical order by filename. eg 'foobar-09' will be played before 'zoobar-0' regardless of numbers, but '09_foobar' will be played after '0_zoobar' because of the number at the beginning of the filename. I don't know if n has any finite value, just that numbering will only work as long as it precedes any letters, or the player will revert to alphabetical ordering.
I have a tip though (although you might already know it!):
To quickly rearrange and order your tracks without having to rename each file yourself, go to 'my computer' and open 'muvo n200 media explorer'. This displays the contents of your player. Click on the folder you wish to order, and then click on the icon on the toolbar that looks like an A above a Z with a downward pointing arrow. The tracks are then displayed in a list, and you can use the up and down arrows to put them in your desired order. Click 'OK' and all the filenames will then be preceded with the correct number. Eg: '00_zoobar', '009_foobar' etc, and will play in that order.

Survey, Do you rename files before bringing them into Aperture.

I'm curious the percentage of us that rename the original files (so we don't have a bunch of images named something like _ACH0001) before final import into Aperture. This includes either editing them then renaming them outside of Aperture and bringing the edited images into Aperture, or bringing them into Aperture, editing them, renaming the kept versions, exporting the masters with the new version name and finally re-importing them back into Aperture.
So the question is:
Do you rename the original files before bringing them into Aperture?
My answer is a definite...
Yes

Since this thread has generated some interesting discussion, let me add some further clarification on our approach:
1) We use a standard file naming convention NNNddddddssss, where "NNN" = photographer's initials (we need to track multiple photographers); "dddddd" = a unique alpha-numeric date code that will handle any date from 1/1/1850 to the foreseeable future; and "ssss" is a unique image sequence number.
2) This file naming convention was established long before Aperture was released, supporting a multi-photographer, multi-camera, Photoshop-based workflow. It was also designed to handle scanned images in addition to camera generated images, as we will be scanning and cataloging many historical family images (some copies of original photos over 100 years old) over the next few years.
3) Since our large base of image files would be converted to Aperture with this naming scheme in place, it made sense to keep this file naming scheme for new files.
Granted, we could just use this scheme for assigning Aperture version names, without worrying about the underlying file name. However, it is more consistent, for our uses, to use the file naming process and ingestion workflow we used pre-Aperture. And the approach has the added advantage that it doesn't matter whether we use image name or version name in our Aperture views. (It seems the default sort order for new projects/albums/etc. is image name, a bit annoying actually given the focus of Aperture on versions.)
So whether one uses just version names, or version names and renamed image names, the really important thing is to design and use an open-ended naming scheme that can handle multiple uses, and multiple image sources, on the front end of any digital asset management strategy -- whether that asset management is done in Aperture, in Bridge, or in a cataloging application like iView Media Pro.
