SSIS - creating part of the file name from an id in the database

I am trying to figure out how to pull an "id" from my data source to include in the file name. Right now the file name created looks like customer_002_timestamp.txt. I need to add the id to the file name and I need to grab it at the time I get
the data, so then the file name becomes customer_002_id_timestamp.txt.
My data source is Oracle and I am using Attunity, so I do not have the capability of using the resultset found in the SQL Task because I have to use the data task.
Has anyone ever extracted an id from a query against Oracle using the Attunity connector to add as part of the file name? If so, how would I add that to my control flow task?
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Is it a static id value you want
Then you can just use a SSIS variable to hold value from resultset in execute sql task
Then inside your data flow you can use an expression for setting value of another variable which can be used for setting filename in your destination task. The expression will include logic to concatenate id variable also which we populated in the previous
step.

How to get the file name from downloads folder with the applescript??

Hi All..
I am downloading an application to downloads folder, I need to install the same application after downloading programatically.
So how do I get the filename in runtime while downloading or after downloading from downloads folder with Applescript or Java?
Also my download URL link doesnot contain full name of the download file.
Pls suggest.

Hi,
The best method is to use curl.
Other methods are not reliable, but can work, it depends on several factors (what the script does, what the user does).
Here is an example with the curl command:
set tUrl to "http://sourceforge.net/projects/vlc/files/2.0.4/macosx/vlc-2.0.4.dmg/download?ac cel_key=60%3A1350656196%3Ahttp%253A//www.videolan.org/vlc/download-macosx.html%3 A7233e4e9%245818d66f39b0576e1e9c4a0f3b46b1991180bfdd&click_id=976a88ee-19f7-11e2 -9a21-0200ac1d1d8e&source=accel"
set dFolder to path to downloads folder
tell application "Finder" to set newFolder to (make new folder at dFolder) as string
set f to quoted form of POSIX path of newFolder
do shell script "cd " & f & " && curl -L " & tUrl & " -o 'vlc.dmg'" -- download to file "vlc.dmg"
set downloadedFile to newFolder & "vlc.dmg" --<-- HFS path
--do something with the downloadedFile

Retreiving the file names from directory inside another directory from application server

Hi,
I had a problem in retreiving the file names from a directory inside another directory.
I tried using the FM's SUBST_GET_FILE_LIST, RZL_READ_DIR_LOCAL and EPS_GET_DIRECTORY_LISTING
But here I am getting only one directory details.
Actually my file is located a directory inside one more directory and one more directory and inside the files are located.
i.e total 3 directories inside the 3rd one my files are there.
I need to read the latest file name in the directory.
So that i can do some manipulation after getting the file name.
Is there option like OPEN DATASET , READ DATASET and CLOSE DATASET?
Can anyone please let me know How can i acheive this one.

Hi Paras,
Based on your description, it is not the VS IDE issue, if it is related to the SSIS, I suggest you post the issue in this forum here:http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/home?forum=sqlintegrationservices
, and there you would get better response.

How to store the File Name from a Unix Directory into a ODI variable?

Hi,
I have built a ODI package with the following steps:
1. ODI is polling for a flat file in a Unix directory. I have used OdiFileWait tool for this purpose. Here the file name is not fixed, so I am using wild character (*) to poll for file. Example: DF*ABC1*.DAT where the first wild character denotes 1 letter and the second wild character denotes 2 digits.
2. In the second step, if the file is found, I am moving the file to ODI file server path (../oracledi/demo/file). Here I have used ODIFileMove tool.
3. Then I am using an ODI Interface to Load the file data into a Oracle database table.
4. I am using a Process log table to keep the log for each step I am executing in ODI that is ODIFileWait, ODIFileMove, Interface etc. for each file. In this table a row needs to be inserted after ODIFileWait tool gets the file, with the File Name and File Date. Later on this row will be updated as the consequent steps are executed.
Here is my concern, I need to get the exact File Name of the file after ODIFileWait gets the file and I need to insert that in the Process Log table after the ODIFileWait step gets a file. So if I can store the File Name in a ODI Variable, I can insert it into the Process log table at this point. This I am not able to do.
The files are coming in a different directory (not in ODI file server path), So after getting the file it is moved to ODI file server path (../oracledi/demo/file)
The Files which I am processing are fixed length format. Also, the File name and File Date is stored in the 1st Record(Header record) of the files.
Kindly provide me suggestions to implement this in my code.
Thanks and Regards,
Anik

Look at this link -http://odiexperts.com/getting-one-or-several-unknown-files-from-a-directory
change the command to fetch the ls command and write into File and then using either java or jython break the data and fetch the file name and date and insert into log table.
(or)
you can use the os.system command and get the complete ls command into string and then process and insert it.
Let us know if you need any other help.

Find the File name from directory

Hi Experts,
My Scenario is:
Pick the file from the Directory, Based on the file name, get the Q information from R/3 system and place the file into MQ.
My Question is : How can I get the file name?, any one please guide me..
Thanks for your help,
Thanks,
SR

HI SR
You need to enable the Adapter-Specific Message Attributes
enable the FileName under this. Enabling this will allow to have this parameter as XI header
You can check this value is generated or not using SXMB_MONI -> Inbound message -> SOAP header -> Dynamic Configuration.
This will be captured under http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File name = FIleNameu201D
Now code given by Anand above will allow you to use this FileName in mapping. Based on this you can check R/3 system for relevant file.
Hope this make you confortable with filename concept
Thanks

How to fetch the Date column(or Month column) from the file name from the specified path in ODI 11g

Hi ALL,
Can any one help us regarding How to fecth the Date column(or month column) from the file name specified in the path in a generalized way .
For example :
file name is :subscribers (Cost) Sep13.csv is specified in the below path
E:\Accounting\documents\subscribers (Cost) Sep13.csv
here I need to fetch the "Sep13" as a Date column in the ODI 11g in the generalized way.
Can any one help us in this case as early as possible.

I would suggest using a piece of Jython code for this. Something like this...
import os
import os.path
filelist = os.listdir(E:\Accounting\documents\)
for file in filelist:
datestr = file[19:-4]
You'd need to work out what to do with datestr next... perhaps write it to a table or update an ODI variable with it.
Hope this is of some help.

Is there a way of printing the file name from within the Preview application?

If I'm printing a file within Apple's Preview application, I sometimes want to be able to print the file name at the edge of the document. Does anyone know of way of doing this?

Thanks for replying, that goes some way to answering the question, but I'm also looking to see how much space each app and its associated documents are using, i.e. Pages comes in at 112Mb for the app alone, but I'd like to know how much space is being used by the documents as well.
Once again thanks,
SG

Get the File Name from DB

I have values stored in the database with relative ads
"/partners/41394/Ads/offers_41394_1by2.jpg"
I only need to extract the file name itself any time this
kind of record is encountered. I am not interested in the relative
path of the record.
eg extract only "offers_41394_1by2.jpg"
Thanks

List functions are very helpful, be sure to check out the
full range in
the documentation.
listLast("/partners/41394/Ads/offers_41394_1by2.jpg","/")

How do I put the file name and path into either the header or the footer?

I need to keep track of pdf documents as their names or locations sometimes change. I need to show both file name and path, preferably in the header. I would also like it to refresh automatically when I change, say, the file name, but that's not as essential as the basic function of showing the file name and path.

You will need to do this with a text field and a Javascript that executes on open.

Export File Names from a Folder to a Database Program

Ok, so this one probably fairly simple, I just cant seem to figure out how to do it. I have a folder containing over 200 file names. It is my wish to figure out a way to import all the file names (just the names) into a document, preferably an MS excel doc. I assume their is a way to do this with auditor maybe, but I am not sure. Any one know how to do this.
Thanks for your help in advance

Hi, Tim. This should do it for you:
