Target file name - YYMMDD FILE - how to achieve

Hi guys!
I need to produce target file in my receiver fila adapter of name, where date is a part of the name. However, it is not a part of message, so there's no way, how to get it from payload.
Any ideas, how to achieve it?
example: 070924FILE

XML as target file - how can i change its character set?

Hi all,
i need to create my target as XML-file und to save all my information there, but with other character set (not with default). In other words i must have in XML-file in header
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-15"?>.
Now i have
<?xml version="1.0"?>.
What can i do?
Thanks in advance.

I don't think Finder does this (I've tried).
iTunes does though. Where you can set artwork or the "poster frame"...
This may not be what you want but if it helps, I know 2 ways do this is
Open the video in QuicktimePlayer7 | View | Set Poster Frame (even then, you might need to save it as .mov (ie in a 'mov container').
Drag the file into iTunes and set the artwork (as in http://www.dummies.com/how-to/content/adding-album-cover-art-or-images-in-itunes .html)
From there, iTunes will use that frame as the "poster frame" ie the photo/frame that shows when you browse your videos. Which is what you want, but limited to iTunes.
When I do either of these above, the frame I set does not show when exploring files in "Finder" (or in the other Explorer tool I use called "Pathfinder").
So it maybe, that exactly what you want, is not possible.

there is no standard way to achieve this. I suggest a redesign.
post the files to a different directory and write a script which will move the file to the required target directory only if it is not present there.

Variable subsitution for target file names

Hi All,
I am using variable subsitution for dynamic file names. I am using the multimapping for multiple files in the target.So i coluld not able to use the dynamic configuration for file names. Now i want to replace all the spaces in the filename to underscore.
For example
My payload filed value "file name in the target file".
Now my filename "file_name_in_the_target_file".
How to achieve this using Variable subsitution.

Ramalakshmi.G

Use replaceString Function.
file name
Constant (" ") --> replaceString -------> TargetField
Constant ("_")

Target file name as field in target structure

Hi SDNers,
I have a requirement where I need to populate a field in target structure with the target file name, this will be a counter.
So if the interface is run 2 times already the third file should have name XXXXXXX_03 and also this needs to be mapped to a field in the target structure.
Any ideas on how to achieve this?
(Pls Note: I am aware of ASMA and variable substitution)

Need to genereate Target file name same as Source File Name thru Local J2SE

Hi Everyone,
I want to genereate Target file name exactly same as Source File Name. I know how to handle this in Central Adapter Engine(Sender & Receiver Communication Channel).
But I need to do this in Local J2SE adpater engine.
Please help me in this regard.
Thanks & Regards,
Nagaraju

U can use the parameter to save the filename in the message header
file.messageAttributes=<name,directory>
This is similar "Adapter-Specific Message Attributes" concept.

Need Target File Name Timestamp is same as Source File name Timestamp

Hi ,
I want to genereate Target file name (Target_09062008082030.xml) but this time stamp is exactly Sorce FileTime stamp..(Source_09062008082030.xml)..
so, i want to create a target file with the same source file time stamp..
for this.. i sed Message Specific attributes... in both sender and receiver side.. but that was creating with the complete name.of source file name.. but i want only Timestamp of the source filename... and remaing is the constant.. for this how can i proceed ..
Thanks
Jain

See in Sender CC when you set the Adapter Specific Message Attr for file name it will send the filename in the header of the XI Message.
To acces this file name inside mapping you need to create a UDF . The type can be any thing as you desire.
You dont need to pass any variable .if suppose you want the file name (constant) e.g ABC_<timestamp>.xml
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container.getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File","FileName");
String fileName= conf.get(key);
//see above your key is FileName which will be sent by the sender CC automatically... You are simply accessing it here using get() method.
//now ur filename will contain name of the source file... you need to perform a substring operation to get the timestamp and create a new file name as you desire.
fileName = "New_<timestmp>.xml"; //for e.g
//set this file name again in header message using put()
conf.put(key, fileName);
//when you check on the adapter specific message attr for fileName in the receiver CC ,it will automatically take this new file name value.
return fileName;
// if you want to use this new fileName inside your mapping payload (for other fields) you can assign this to any target field,else just assign it to the root tag which will make no difference if this file name is not used anywhere.

Regarding Target File name

Hi Everyone,
I want the Target File name to be as Update_Order_%y%y%y%y%M%M%d%d%H%H%m%m%s%s.A04.

Hi,
1. In the Sender File Communication Channel, check the option Set Adapter-Specific Message Attribute and Filename.
2. Assuming Update_Order is a constant string, Use this UDF. If Update_Order is a element at your source structure, pass it as a parameter to the UDF.
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container.getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File","FileName");
java.text.SimpleDateFormat dateformat = new java.text.SimpleDateFormat( "yyyyMMddHHmmss" );
dateformat.format( new java.util.Date() );
String tagetfilename="Update_Order_" + dateformat;
conf.put(key, newfilename);

Target file of the same name as source file

Hi,
    I am working on a file to file scenario. I need the target file name to be same as the source file name.
    I checked the adapter specific message attributes in the sender as well as receiver file adapter,and also checked the file name.
    Now am using variable substitution for the file name in the receiver file adapter.
    I defined the variable value as :
    message:FileName
   But no file is getting created in the destination folder.
   Can anyone help me out with this.
Thanks and regards,
Pravesh Puria.

Pravesh,
If you have selected File adapter --> Adapter Specfic Attribuest --> File name in the sender and receiver file adapter , then do not go for variable name substittutuion.
Just make a dummy file name in the receiver file adapter for the file name field and XI will automatically use the same file name as the source when creating the file.

Bhavesh

How to create variable record length target file in SAP BODS

Hi All
I have a requirement to create target file which will have various record layout; meaning different record length (similar to cobol file format), but this is for the target. Please let me know what is the best practice and how to solution this requirment.
Thanks
Ash

Hi Shiva,
Thanks for your feedback. My issue is that I have 10 different detail records (each record type is fixed length).
For each customer account, I have to write to file the header record, the detail records in the exact order, then continue with next account and so on and then write the trailer record. I have given sample layout below. Highlighted text is the record identifier in this exmaple while the underlineds are account numbers. Fields are fixed length right padded with space or 0.

File name in the target file field

Hi,
In this below particular blog we are creating the UDF and assigning the output of UDF to a filed in the target file structure.
/people/sravya.talanki2/blog/2006/12/20/accessing-system-parameters-in-mapping-runtime
And even we are entering the target file name manually in the UDF. Whatever the filename that we enter in the UDF that will also be displayed as the target file name. To do this even we are selecting the adapter specific attributes.
Please correct if my understanding is wrong.
thanks
kumar

Hi Kumar,
Whatever the filename that we enter in the UDF that will also be displayed as the target file name
Yes
To do this even we are selecting the adapter specific attributes.
"We could be" instead of "we are". If u want to access sender metadata, u should use ASMA.

How do i add time and date to target file

hello,
1. When do we generally go for FCC?
2. Is it possible to assign field seperator without FCC on the reciever side file adapter?
3. how do I add timestamp as well as DATE to the target file?
thnks
venkat

Hi venkat
1. When do we generally go for FCC?
    we can do the FCC at sender side as well as at the receiver side.
    Sender side: we do the FCC at the sender side only if we are getting a flat file   from the sender, and so that it can be understand by the XI,because XI can understand only the XML.
     Receiver side:we do the FCC at the receiver side only if the receiver requires the flat file.
2. Is it possible to assign field seperator without FCC on the reciever side file adapter?
no, it is not possible.
3. how do I add timestamp as well as DATE to the target file?
if you want to add date and time in the target file for this you have to select the parameter
File Construction Mode* : AddTimeStamp
in the processing parameters of the file adapter(Receiver).
Thanks

Tried opening a file in library and it states can't open database with library name? It says Relaunch then will not open? and Blocks me completely from Aperture. I have to go to Finder to Rename it? I need this file how do I get it to open?

Tried opening a file in library and it states can't open database with library name? It says Relaunch then will not open? and Blocks me completely from Aperture. I have to go to Finder to Rename it? I need this file how do I get it to open?

Aftershotz,
You're going to have to give a bit more information.
What do you mean by "opening a file in library?" There is no function of Aperture to open files -- you can open (switch) libraries.
You'll have to be more specific about error messages, too. Perhaps some screenshots would be useful to diagnose your problem. "Can't open database with library name" is not enough detail about what Aperture is really telling you.

How to achieve Incremental deployment of Code Files to different environments of windows azure using TFS and Visual Studio ?

Hi
We are new to Windows azure and are developing a web application. In the beginning of the project , we have deployed complete code using Sitefinity Thunder to different environments which actually publish complete code. But now as we are in the middle of development
, we are just required to upload any new files created which can be quite less in numbers (1 or 2 or maybe few). Now if we deploy with thunder , it publishes all files and then deploys complete code which takes good amount of time. Hence we are thinking to
attach each Azure Cloud Service which is actually a different environment like staging, UAT to a TFS branch and then just check in code from local development machine to TFS and then deploy only checked in files to azure environment linked to TFS.
I hope this possible but if you can help send some links where I can see how to achieve this , that will be helpful.
Also I would like to know whether a single cloud service can be linked to a single TFS branch or multiple cloud service can be linked to a single TFS repository? Why I am asking is – because we want to deploy a checked in files revision number to a staging
cloud service and then will test there and then if everything works well then will be required to deploy these revision files to the next cloud UAT cloud service and then production cloud service. Please help.

Hi,
We can use TFS to manage our azure cloud service application code, refer to the following to get more information about how to deploy sitefinity to azure.
