Specifying the filename for outbound FTP transport in OSB

I want an OSB based service that will send via FTP a file with a specific name to a remote ftp location.
It appears OSB can't do this because the FTP transport on a business service only allows you to specify the prefix and suffix and then generates a big long file name for the midlle parts.
Does someone know how to override this and specify the name that you want teh remote file name to be called?

Your response was helpful but being new to OSB I'm still not quite there because I want to pass a "variable" to the file name. Now given I want to ftp a CSV file I've specified a proxy messaging service in an MFL format behind a jms queue. The business service underlying this is the ftp service again using the MFL format. This all works but in the message flow I for the proxy I can't seem to get access to a user defined property which contains the filename which I could then pull out and stuff into the "filename" header as suggested above.
Doe anyone have any ideas how I can get access to a filename property from a JMS message?From what i understand
JMSQ--- JMS PRoxy (MFL)----Pipeline ----->BS (MFL/FTP)---FTP server
So you would like to set the filename that is contained the JMS message custom headers?. While creating your JMS Proxy you have to follow these steps
1) While creating JMS Proxy in Transport Configuration page select Get All Headers =Yes
2) If file name is set as user defined property in JMS message then use $Header in you pipeline/message flow. This variable will hold your user defined properties. If the user defined property is part of JMS message then use $body.

How do i specify the filename for a binary file generated by a JSP?

I am writing a report generator that has the ability to generate Excel files. The user clicks on a link (exporter.jsp), the page's content-type has been set to "application/vnd.ms-excel" which naturally prompts the user to either save to a file or open directly in Excel.
It works fine, but requires the user to manually rename the generated file from "exporter.jsp" to "whatever.xls". Furthermore, Firefox will not let you rename the file in save dialog box, it just automatically saves the file as "exporter.jsp", you must rename it from the file browser.
How do specify the output file name from within JSP?
Btw, right clicking and selecting "save link as" allows for specifying the file name, but the file that is created is empty.
Thanks

You need to set the content-disposition header as well as the content-type.
here is one article on the subject
res.setContentType("application/vnd.ms-excel");
res.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" + filename);

Regular expressions for file/FTP transport within OSB. How?

The OSB transport/polling guides say for the FILE, FTP and SFTP transports that the "File Mask" can be a Regular Expression but I can't get it to pick up files this way. Is there some trick to enabling regular expression mode or some strange syntax required?
For example I set up a very simple pattern of [A-Z]+ which should match any filename with one or more uppercase alphabetic characters only, but it does not pick up anything. It seems only to support the usual wildcard * operator in the non-regular expression mode.
Any help much appreciated.

Good point, but if you think about this description, you have to realize it just doesn't make sense. Again ...
Enter a regular expression to select the files that you want to pick from the directory. The default value is \*.*The problem is that \*.* is not a regular expression at all. :-)
1. The documentation is a mess in this particular point.
2. FTP servers (at least those I have experienced) don't have a support for regular expressions.
So I guess you can use only wildcards and not regular expressions with FTP transport.

How to set the AS2 fileName for outbound Functional Ack 997 auto generated by Oracle B2B

Hi Friends,
How to set the AS2 fileName for outbound Functional Ack 997 auto generated by Oracle B2B.
External Trading Partner is sending the EDI 856 via AS2 URL to our Oracle B2B Server.
In the inbound 856 agreement, we have checked the option of Funtional Ack and also Functiona Ack handled by B2B is yes.
We have the outbound agreement which is sending that Functional ack 997 (auto generated by oracle b2b) and we have specified the Outbound AS2 channel of the Partner.
997 doc is being sent to external partner using AS2 channel, but the filename is generating as '40101'.
Please can you let me know how to set the AS2 fileName for outbound Functional Ack 997 auto generated by Oracle B2B.
Appreciate your valuable answers!!
Thanks,
Amirineni

Amirineni,
AFAIK, there is no option to set the file name when the 997 is generated automatically by B2B.
Alternatively, if this is a must requirement, you can generate the FA from backend and send to B2B with MSG_TYPE =9. In this case, you can set the header with filename (How to set the actionname property in B2B 11g)

Specify the FTProot for an individual user?

Is there a way to specify the FTProot for a specific user?
Example: I want to create a local user to the server, username "web", that when I FTP to the server using "web", all I can see is the /Library/WebServer/Documents folder?
Thanks!

I am no expert from a code perspective but have seen some very odd behavior on portlets that are related to the browser version/components that the user has. I always test things out in Firefox if they are failing on IE. Also, check to see if the user has any non-native toolbars (have them send you a screen shot). Turn off all of these (Yahoo, Google, etc...) and see if things work.
Best of luck.

How can we specify the Mailbox for Notes?

In Mail.app, how can we specify the Mailbox for Notes (where the new notes will be resided)? It is now 'On My Mac'. I wish to change to my IMAP Mailbox so it sync with my iPhone by just checking email (not by syncing on iTunes).
Thanks in advance.

You could use the DecimalFormat or NumberFormat to do the job.
double number 1234.567;
DecimalForamt df = new DecimalFormat("###.##");
String s = df.format(number);or
double number 1234.567;
NumberFormat nf = NumberFormat.getNumberInstance();
nf.setMaximumFractionDigits(2);
/* if needed.
   nf.setMaximumIntegerDigits(value);
   nf.setMinimumFractionDigits(value);
   nf.setMinimumIntegerDigits(value); */
String s = nf.format(number);I didn't test the codes but they should work. For more information, please consult the documentations.

I need to start and stop logging based on a digital input event(or analog if necessary), log data for several seconds prior to the event, and have the data file close at the end of event and increment the filename for the next logging event.

I don't know if this can be done with VI Logger or need to use Labview V7.1.

After browsing through the VI Logger User Manual, it looks like the triggering that you are hoping to accomplish is possible. However, incrementing the filename for the next logging event is not going to be possible. VI Logger does exactly what its name tells - logs data. I don't think the automation that you are hoping to accomplish is possible.
For help with setting up your application, if you do choose to stay with VI Logger, make sure to chek out the Getting Started with VI Logger Manual.
Best of luck.

i exported the application from apex.oracle.com and imported it to our environment
import went fine, but when I ran the IR page I got
ORA-20001: get_dbms_sql_cursor error ORA-00904: : invalid identifier
evidently the problem is a lack of public execute on DBMS_LOB, which is used in the generated IR source.
while waiting for the DBA to grant privs on DBMS_LOB, changing the dbms_lob.getlength call to length() fixes the IR.
however, i am not getting the download link on the associated form page... changed templates, that's not the issue -- we'll see if that's a dbms_lob issue as well

Looks like there is a 127-column limit on the number of report columns supported when using that wizard. Do you have more than that?

Specify the location for any newly added column

Hi friends,
Is it possible in Oracle to specify the location for any newly added column. why it always goes to
the last , I want to add a new column at first.
If it is possible and anybody knows please tell me.
Thanks & Regards
Chandrakishore Bankhede

Hi Chandrakishore,
Not exactly a spatial question but the answer is "no" as far as I am aware.
TOAD for Oracle has a nice feature called "Rebuild Table" that provides a GUI interface for redefining and moving columns around. Basically it generates all the required DDL for you - it saves all the constraints, indexes, triggers, etc. Then it creates a new table with your changes, renames the old table with a suffix and replaces all the constraints, indexes, triggers on the new table. Most helpful.
However - see this makes the post spatial in nature :) - for as long as I have been around this feature of TOAD has not been able to handle SDO_GEOMETRY columns - failing with "ORA-22917: use VARRAY to define the storage clause". The good news is the new TOAD 10 now is free of this bug.
This is not meant to be a commercial for TOAD, I just don't know of any other product with this feature. Others may know of similar things perhaps or you can write a function yourself in PL/SQL.
Cheer,
Paul

Specify the update for line ID COP Error message

Hi Experts,
I get the following error message
Specify the update for line ID COP
Message no. KJ335
Diagnosis
You have assigned cost elements to line ID COP, but you have not yet specified the results analysis cost elements under which the results analysis data is to be written for this line ID.
Procedure
Go into Customizing and specify the results analysis cost elements under which the results analysis data is to be written for line ID COP.
However in T code OKGB i have linked COP to cost elements for Expense accounts and ZMA for Balance sheet accounts.Also i OKGA i have give different secondary cost elements for WIP and Reserves. and for ZMA same secondary cost elements for WIP as well as reserves
In OKGB i have given the balance sheet account and the expence GL
Is there anything that i have missed
Thanks in Advance

Hi,
Please read note 525804.
1> If KJ161 is issued for a cost element which is intentionally not assigned to a line-ID, please follow the instructions of note 302823 to solve this issue.
The note 302823 gives details on how to add the cost element line id and also the use of enhancement 7 to control the message.
If you're in this case, pls follow the steps in note 302823 for each "Option", there are not only changes in OKGB, but also some changes needed in OKGA (e.g. assign category 'N')
2> If this cost element should be assigned, please double check the entries made in TA OKG5. Please do especially check if all hints of note 18472 are considered. Very often,filling the fields 'Masked cost center' and 'Masked activity type' with '+' solves this issue as well.
In the Extended log (KKA1 > Extras > Logs > Parameter List), check if you can see that cost element is not assigned, but in
configuration transaction OKGB, masked cost element is assigned.

Need to specify default filename for SaveAs

I am using the command app.execMenuItem("SaveAs"); in the click event of a button. Is there anyway that I can specify a default filename for the user? I do want the user to get the Save As window and the ability to change the name if possible.
The form is generated by the RenderForm Java script, and the name being generated as a default for the SaveAs window is RenderForm.pdf
Thanks,
Velvet

Chris, I think you missed this one.
I think you want to change the name when calling app.SaveAs via javascript from the client not on the server. Since app.executeMenuItem("saveAs") will not take any parameters to suggest a file name. I think you will have to use doc.saveAs which will allow the name to be specified. This would require a trustedFunction which may or will not work unless you have known users. You will also need to prompt for the file name before making the call.
Here is some untested code to get you started...
You will need to create a trustedFunction (see AcroJS.pdf for details) ..
saveFunc = app.trustedFunction(function (filename) {
app.beginPriv();
try {
event.target.saveAs({cPath: filename});
} catch (err) {
app.alert("Error: " + err);
app.endPriv();
Code for your event...
var suggestedName = "MyPDFName.pdf";
// Note This will only work if you know where they will be saving it
var cPathToSaveTo = "/c/temp/";
var cResponse = app.response({
cQuestion: "What name would you like to use for this PDF?",
cTitle: "File Name",
cDefault: suggestedName,
cLabel: "File Name:" })
if(cResponse != null)
saveFunc(cPathToSaveTo + cResponse );
Hope this helps.

Common business action for Email/FTP transports behaving differently

Hi B2B Gurus,
We have configured a common business action for incoming documents for different transports (Email and FTP). Since the exchange protocol is "Custom document over generic exchange" and the payload is the same for the 2 protocols, we had to create a common business action as the Document definition (identification criteria) is the same. We have ofcourse created separate agreements with separate DCs but the same business action.
In the above scenario, it works fine for all well formed documents (XML). We are observing that it it throwing the "unable to identify the document protocol" error when the invalid payload is sent through Email protocol but is allowing the document into Oracle B2B for FTP. We are using Oracle 10g and are on the latest patch.
Can you pls let us know if this is the behaviour expected? Shouldn;t it be the same as the business action is the same ? Is transport making a difference? pls let us know asap as this is blocking some test scenarios as we have to go live soon.
Regards
Kavitha

Hi Kavitha,
Do you mean to say that the agreement is identified based on the "identification criteria" for Email protocol and not on the Email ids?In case of EMail transport, Email ID's are used for partner identification but for XML document identification, only XPATH is used.
Is there anything that can be changed in our configuration to allow invalid documents pass thru b2B so that the validation can be handled by our backend?Treat XML files like Flat files and keep validation disabled and then invalid documents can also be passed.
In this case, we also see that the idenfication criteria (XPATH) value is coming fine but the XML is not well formed.If you have configured B2B for custom XML and incoming XML is malformed then anyhow it will fail in EMail transport as document it self will not be parsed and hence XPATH can not be applied. As I mentioned above, if you still want to accept this doc, configure B2B for custom flat file instead of custom XML.

Anuj

UDF to get the filename for File Sender Adapter

Hi,
I had an requirement to get the the Filename and map to the target payload.
I had configured the File Sender Adapter settings in the ID
This is the following UDF i got from SDN.
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;
But when iam using this UDF iam getting an error
RuntimeException in Message-Mapping transformation: Exception:[java.lang.NullPointerException] in class com.sap.xi.tf._MM_ORDER_CRS_OB_SAP_PROXY_IB_ method Filename$[com.sap.aii.mappingtool.tf3.rt.Context@54e154e1]
Please help me in correcting the error.
Thanks
Srinivas

Hi Jayson,
actually, in the interface mapping, it doesn't give exception.
The DynamicConfiguration is a constant retrieved from the container object, so it will never be returned as null (given that the container object was instantiated).
Just the retrieved value will be null (since it was not previously set), but no exception occurs.
In the message mapping, the container object is never instantiated, and that's the reason for the NullPointerException.
Regards,
Henrique.

Can you specify the port for default services when installing OEG?

Hi everyone,
The default installation of OEG 11g uses 8090 port for management services, and 8080 for the virtualized services that you register in the gateway. After installation, you can change the ports by editing gateway's Profile Repository in Policy Studio. But is there a way to specify the port number before/during the installation?
Thanks,
Iris

Hi -
here are the steps to change the listening port (in 11.1.1.6)
- Connect to OEG using Policy Studio
- Click on "Edit Active Configuration"
- Under "Services", find the default services, and you'll see a listener for port 8080 there. Right-click to edit this.
- Change the port from 8080 to your desired port. Note that if you've installed the software and running it as a non-root user on Linux, then it will not have permission to bind to a low-number port (like port 80 for instance)
- Now deploy your change (for 11.1.1.6 hit F6 or click on the "deploy" button which is towards the right of the toolbar in Policy Studio).
- You may also choose to version your configuration at this point (click on "version" which is beside the "deploy" button and enter a comment about your version).
Now verify that OEG is listening on your new port. You can see it bind to the new port by looking at the trace [Connect a browser to port 8090 on OEG, login as admin or another user who has rights to view the trace, then click on "Trace"].
It's a usual practice to configure a new listener on SSL (e.g. on port 443) then to delete that pre-configured port 8080 listener, if you want to only receive traffic over SSL.
