Track multiple input files in SQLLDR

I'm loading many infiles, say "File1", "File2", "File3", etc with SQLLDR. Can I create a column in the table that loads the filename into a column? Maybe a better way to ask is: how can I reference the INFILE name in the control file, so that I would get the INFILE text/name for each record in that file?
Edited by: Yura on Dec 23, 2009 3:29 PM

The only way to accomplish this is to hard code the file name into the file or ... Years ago I wrote some code based on UTL_FILE.
You can find a version of it here:
http://www.morganslibrary.org/reference/utl_file.html
under "WRITE DEMO" that dynamically builds the control file
A variation on the theme might solve the problem.

Loading a table from multiple input files using sqlldr

Hi,
For my project i need to load into a table by joining two input files using sqlldr. For example,
I have a file1, which has values
name,salary,ssn
and file2 which has values for
ssn,location,country
now i need to load these values into a table say employee_information by joining both input files. both input files can be joined using ssn as common field.
Any idea how to do this??
Thanks in advance
Satya.

Hi,
What is the size of the files. If possible mail me the sample files, And the structure of table. Is the <ssn> from first file and second will have seperate columns in the table or we have to merge it.

File bc: Multiple input files in one folder

I am working on an integration project, which includes five BPEL processes. These processes are intiated whenever a file is copies in a given folder. The input-filename-pattern for these bpel processes are different (say, input1_%d.txt, input2_%d.txt etc.). But, these files are present in one single folder.
To implement it, we created one more bpel process, which was bound to file-bc. The first activity in this process is a 'pick' activity. Five operations were defined corresponding to each input-file (name pattern and schema) in the WSDL under single port-type. And, the port-type was bound to the folder where all messages are received. For all five operations, polling interval was defined as 1000 ms.
For pick activitiy, five 'onMessage' node was created for each operation, which invoked the corresponding (one of five) BPEL process.
We tested this solution, and it worked. The solution was able to pick five types of input files and invoke the bpel-processes.
However, the system log of glassfish contains a number of exception error messages. To me, it looks like that all five operations are trying to get the lock on the folder at the same time and this exception is thrown. Though, it does not create any problem in execution of the process, it is a headache for the system administrator.
Is there any way to control these specific error messages, so that these are not sent to the system log?
The error message in they system-log is:

Sanjay,
Most of the folks that would normally reply are on winter holiday break, so there would be a delay in response. In the mean time, I would really appreciate if you log this as a bug at http://open-jbi-components.dev.java.net. You need to join as an observer to log this bug. You may also want to subscribe to [email protected] and start posting questions there so that you get a fast response from the Open ESB dev team. FYI, Open JBI Components is a sub project of Open ESB and the dev alias at Open ESB is very active.

Multiple input files to multiple file outputs

I have a workflow that can select multiple files and zip them into a single zip file.
What modification should I do to get a workflow that zips each of the files separately into separate zip files?
So I can select multiple files but each file is zipped into a separate file.

You can use a Run AppleScript action do do it - the following action can be used instead of the Finder's Create Archive action:
<pre style="
font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;
font-size: 10px;
margin: 0px;
padding: 5px;
border: 1px solid #000000;
width: 720px; height: 335px;
color: #000000;
background-color: #FFDDFF;
overflow: auto;"
title="this text can be pasted into an Automator 'Run AppleScript' action">
on run {input, parameters}
-- create a PKZip archive of the selected Finder item(s)
-- if no destination folder is specified, the archive will be placed in the same location
-- input: a list of Finder items to archive
-- output: a list of Finder items archived
set output to {}
set SkippedItems to {} -- this will be a list of skipped items
set DestinationFolder to missing value -- a Finder path to a destination folder if different
repeat with SomeItem in the input -- step through each item in the input
try
set SomeItem to SomeItem as text
if the last character of SomeItem is in {":", "/"} then set SomeItem to text 1 thru -2 of SomeItem
set ArchiveSource to POSIX path of SomeItem
if DestinationFolder is missing value then -- save the archive to the same location
set ArchiveName to ArchiveSource & ".zip"
else -- save the archive to the specified folder
set TheName to name of (info for SomeItem as alias)
set ArchiveName to (POSIX path of DestinationFolder) & TheName & ".zip"
end if
do shell script "ditto -ck " & (quoted form of ArchiveSource) & space & (quoted form of ArchiveName)
set the end of the output to (POSIX file ArchiveName) as alias -- success
on error ErrorMessage number ErrorNumber
log ErrorMessage
set the end of SkippedItems to SomeItem
end try
end repeat
if SkippedItems is not {} then -- handle skipped items
set TheCount to (count SkippedItems) as text
display alert "Error with Archive action" message TheCount & " items(s) were skipped - workflow will continue"
choose from list SkippedItems with title "Error with Archive action" with prompt "The following items were skipped:" with empty selection allowed
if result is false then error number -128 -- user cancelled
end if
return the output -- pass the result(s) to the next action
end run
</pre>

Multiple Input Files using File adapter

hey Experts,
Wanted to know how i could pick up two different XML files using the Sender file adapter, which i want to process in my scenario, need ur suggestions, i dont want to use BPM. Thanks

When you use the "additional file" feature, you have to keep in mind that the additional file enters the Integration Engine as attachment of the primary file.
Modifying this attachment (or merging the two files) is difficult, as you can't use graphical mapping. Accessing the attachment with the other mapping techniques is often cumbersome as well.
With a BPM, you could use two sender communication channels and correlation, but this alternative seems to be no option for you.
Could you please tell us
1. whether or not the two files have the same message type,
2. which processing has to be performed afterwards and
3. where does it go to when it leaves the XI?
That would greatly help us.
Kind regards,
Dennis

Junit question...multiple input files

I'm not very clear if fixtures is what I need to use and if so how to even use it in my case. I have a simple XMLUnit testcase that compares a set of xml files using DetailedDiff and getAllDifferences(). This works just fine for a comparison of a single set of XML files, how should this be done for n sets of XML files? I can't just simply put the assertEquals within the testXXX in a for loop since it will exit on the first failure.
I want to be able to run this XMLUnit testcase on n sets of xmlfiles and output all failures for all n sets of xmlfiles. I hope all of that made sense :).

What you want is a data driven test, they are quite common and a lot has been written about them on the web (hint: Google ;-))
This is one exampel using JUnit 3.x http://twasink.net/blog/archives/2003/10/junit_and_datad.html
For 4.x there are more modern possibilities out there, but I would have to Google them as well.
Also the Yahoo JUnit Group (might require registering: http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/junit/messages ) is pretty active and has plenty of information about this topic in its archive (don't post that question there, 'though, it's already been answered a lot).

Any Tutorial / Sample to create Single PDF from multiple source files using PDF assembler in a watched folder process.

Any Tutorial / Sample to create Single PDF from multiple source files using PDF assembler in a watched folder process. I have a client application which will prepare number of source files and some meta data information (in .XML) which will be used in header/footer. Is it possible to put a run time generated DDX file in the watch folder and use it in Process. If possible how can I pass the file names in the DDX. Any sample Process will be very helpful.

If possible, make use of Assembler API in your client application instead of doing this using watched folder. Here are the Assembler samples : LiveCycle ES2.5 * Programming with LiveCycle ES2.5
Watched folder can accept zip files (sample : Configuring a watched folder to handle multiple input files and write results to a single folder | Adobe LiveCycle Blog ). You can also use execute script to create the DDX at runtime : LiveCycle ES2 * Application Development Using LiveCycle Workbench ES2

The file size of selected file in input file control is shown as 0 for multiple file selection in Safari 5.1

The file size of selected file in input file control is shown as 0 for multiple file selection in Safari 5.1. If you select single file, then it is able to return file size correctly. However, if you select multiple files, then the file size of each of the selected file is always returned as 0 from javascript. This works correctly in Safari 4.0 but it does not work in Safari 5.1.
How do I get the correct file size in Safari 5.1 ?

If you want to post (or send me) a link to the lrcat file, I'd take a look at it for you, and give you a break-down what's consuming all the bytes. But it might be fun to learn how to do that yourself (e.g. using SQL). I use SQLiteSpy, but other people have their favorites.. (or you can use a command-line client if you prefer..). One way: just run "drop table "{table-name}" on each table then look at filesize (do this to a copy, not the real thing).
Anyway, it's hard to imagine keywords and captions etc. taking much of the space, since even if you had 1000 10-character words of text metadata per photo average that still only adds up to 117MB, which isn't a substantial portion of that 8G you're seeing occupied.
Anyway, if you've painted the heck out of most of them and not cleared dev history, that'll do it - that's where I'd put my money too...
One thing to consider to keep file-size down:
===================================
* After reaching a milestone in your editing, take a snapshot then clear edit history, or the top part of it anyway (e.g. leave the import step), using a preset like:
Clear Edit History.lrtemplate
s = {
    id = "E36E8CB3-B52B-41AC-8FA9-1989FAFD5223",
    internalName = "No Edit",
    title = "Clear Edit History",
    type = "Develop",
    value = {
        settings = {
            NoEdit = true,
        uuid = "34402820-B470-4D5B-9369-0502F2176B7F",
    version = 0,
(that's my most frequently used preset, by far ;-})
PS - I've written a plugin called DevHistoryEditor, which can auto-consolidate steps and reduce catalog size - it's a bit cumbersome to use a.t.m. but in case you're interested...

Syndicating multiple Outputs for 1 Input file

Hi SDners,
When I am syndicating records output is splitting into 2 Files for 1 Input file.
Example:- 10 records are there in Input file. While importing Import Manager Identifies 2 records as Duplicates and it will create only 8 records in MDM. While syndicating these 8 records are splitting into 2 output files. I want these 2 output files in 1 Output File.
This is not happeneing everytime, Only some times. If I process the same file agian in MDM then it will syndicate in 1 Output file only.
I configured Parameters like this:
Suppress unchanged records=Yes
Max Records per Output file=0
XML File Output=Single File (All Records)
and the PORT Map also like this
"Processing type=Automatic"
"Processing Interval=Continues".
Still I facing the Same problem.
Why it is happening only sometimes. If I configured the parametrs wrongly then it should syndicate everytime output into 2 file. But it is happening only once in a Week like that tooo 1 or 2 files only.
MDM Version I am using is : SAP MDM 5.5 AP06 (5.5.63.71). Any help ASAP.
Thanks
Kiran

Hi Kiran,
Can you check the key mappings for the records .If you have multiple key mappings maintained and you have overridden the key mapping in the remote systems property then MDM will generate identical copies for each remote key
Thanks

One Input File Multiple output files.

Hi,
How to Generate Multiple Output (Target) files by using Single (Source File) Input file in File 2 File Scenario.
Please help me to do this.
With Regards,
Mahesh

Hi,
This is a scenario of 1 : N transporting right.. for this u shud use Multi-mapping then you need to change your logic because Multi-mapping is only be used by ccBPM. so use BPM (integration process) in IR to implement you logic in File to File scenario.
oops.. i missed one thing ..
in simple file to file scenario you can use Message patterns for duplicating the target fields if you getting from single file. You can use this pattern like in target field structure right click on root tag and then click on duplicate subtree, and then you are down.. above is the other way if u want to use bpm.
Hope this will help you,
Regards

Multiple replacements from an input file with 1.4 Regex

hi,
i'm trying to make multiple replacments to a source file <source> using a second input file <patterns> to hold the regex's. the problem i'm having is that the output file only makes the last replacement listed in the input file. Example if the input file is
a#123
b#456
only b is changed to 456 and a remains.
the second debug i've got shows that all the replacements are in memory, but i'm not sure how to write them all to the file.

If your aim is to learn about regex, then its okay.
Otherwise you might want to check the utility "sed" (stream editor) which does something similar what you are up to. It is a POSIX (.i.e. UNIX) utility, but it is available (in several versions) for other platforms (including Windows) too. (Cf. Cygnus or Mingw).

How do I setup Multiple Inputs on a single card into multiple tracks (devices) in Adobe Audition?

With a single Audigy 2 Card, how do I setup to record from two of the inputs (line-in and mic) into separate tracks in Adobe Audition 1.5?
I am trying to get the different inputs to list as different devices in Adobe Audition 1.5 so that I can record to multiple tracks simultaneously with different input.
Is it possible?
Any help is appreciated.
Thank you

I need to know the same thing when using an Audigy2 ZS Platinum Pro. Neither the users manual nor the website provide anything more technical than how to hook up speakers wires.
If you cannot multitrack from the multiple inputs, is the IEE 1394 (firewire) port capable of 6 pin connection to a Yamaha digital mixer with an MLan digital I/O card. If so, will the 16in/16out from the MLan pass through and be recognized by Adobe Audition?
Thanks

Handle multiple xml files as input?

I have a java parser which uses JDOM and translates xml file to a flat file. Currently it handles one file at a time. I want to handle if there are multiple such files. Have anyone of you encountered that?
Could you please help? Thanks.....

How about multiple xml files as argument and let your Java class handle them one by one?
Or probably even better: it should be possible to get all the names of the xml files in a directory and let you class handle those one by one. Like this you don't need the arguments and just process all the xml files in maybe a dedicated directory.
Kind regards,
Hans.
