UDF for filename

Hi,
Please help me to write an UDF for getting filename dynamically in this format
AF_DeliveryN_<CustomerIdentifier>_<ABAP-Spool-Number>_<datetime stamp>.xml.
Regards
Sai

hi,
AF_DeliveryN_<CustomerIdentifier>_<ABAP-Spool-Number>_<datetime stamp>.xml.
mapping logic:
AF_DeliveryN + constant(_) + Concat+ CustomerIdentifier + Concat + constant(_) + Concat+ ABAP-Spool-Number+ Concat + constant(_) + Concat+ datetime stamp(UDF)Conactconstant(.XML)+ ConactDynamic udftarget node
ex for ADD time Stamp:
String AddTimestamp(String var1, Container container) throws StreamTransformationException{
String DATE_FORMAT_NOW = "yyyyMMddHHmmssSSS";
   Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
    SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat(DATE_FORMAT_NOW);
    return sdf.format(cal.getTime());
dynamic conf for file:
public String DynamicConfig(String a, Container container) throws StreamTransformationException{
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container.getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File","FileName");
conf.put(key,a);
return "";
thanks,

UDF for Changing File Name

Hi Experts,
I am working on one scenrio, where i am fetching the file name dynamically by adapter module.
Now, the file name needs to be checked for the following conditions:
BOOKING_REF_DELIVERYNO_WB.pdf
BOOKING_REF_DELIVERYNO_BOLCOPY.PDF
DELIVERYNO_AWB.PDF
Depending upon the type of file being picked up by PI from the mail box,following needs to be done:
1.time stamp needs to be added ..
ex..
for file SO10162239_123_458_BOLCOPY.pdf--> the file name must be changed to :
SO10162239_X2100_20101206_123_458_BOLCOPY.pdf.
Please suggest if this can be done by graphical mapping ?

UDF for Timestamp

Hi Friends,
Can anyone please provide me the UDF for the following case.I need my output file name in following format
156WE_YYYYmmddHHMMSS.xml
Thanks for quick help..
Regards,
Dinesh

Hi,
In the target file adapter, you can choose target file name as 156WE_.xml, then in next tab choose ADD time stamp. It will create a output filename as 156WE_YYYYmmddHHMMSS.xml, if values till underscore is fixed.
Else you can use below code.
/* Using Dynamic Configuration */
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container.getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
//conf.removeAll();
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File","FileName");
//String filename= conf.get(key);
conf.put(key, fileName);
key= null;
return fileName;

Create UDF for table not in the List of tables

Hi all,
I know that my question maybe easy or been asked before, but I couldn't find the answer.
To create a UDF in SAP B1 version 9.0 you should go Tools -> Customization Tools -> User-Defined Fields - Management...
which is ok and working perfect. but my question is:
If I want to create UDF for a table not in the list of tables there what should I do? I need to create 2 UDFs for table OMRC [Manufacturers], and can't find it in master data tables.
anyone had this issue before?
EDIT : Is it good to add the field by using sql server? I know it's possible, but will it be visible in SAP
thank you

Hi Samira,
There is noit a simple link for this, I advise you to study the documentation for TB1300 SBO Development Certification.
Ypu should also have knowledge of .net, and C# or VB, because you have to make a small program/addon to add the fields
Kind regards

Given filename or path contains Unicode or double-byte characters.Retry using ASCII characters for filename and path What does this mean? it happen when I publish an OAM

Given file name or path contains Unicode or double-byte characters. Retry using ASCII characters for filename and path
What does this mean? It is happening when I try to publish an OAM for Dreamweaver.
Also: How can I specify the browser in Edge Animate? It is just going wherever. Are there no Preferences for Edge Animate?
BTW. Just call it Edge. Seriously. Do you call it Illustrator Draw? Photoshop Retouching?

No, my file name is mainContent.oam
My project name is mainContent.an
This error happens when I try to import into Dreamweaver. Sorry, I wasn't clear on that earlier.
I thought maybe it was because I had saved my image as a png. So re-saved as a svg, still get the error.
DO I have a setting is Dreamweaver CC that is wrong? Should I try this in Dreamweaver CS6? I might try that next.
Why is this program so difficult? I know Flash. I know After Effects. I can work the timeline part just great. It's always in the export that I have problems.

Are you an Adobe person or just a nice helper?

Turn Off Distiller Prompting for Filename on MAC like you already can on windows.

I've posted about this before, but with no useful reaction. There is a documented feature in the Windows Distiller, that would be just as useful on mac, but doesn't exist there. In the Adobe documentation, it's called "Turn Off Prompting for Filename".
In short, I'd like a way to stop the MAC distiller from showing dialogs that are not needed when controlling it externally, when the options 'ask for pdf file destination' and 'view pdf when using distiller' are turned on by the user, like this is already possible in windows.
Below is a copy of my original post, with more details.
Distiller brings up dialog while running from applescript
Arnt Witteveen - 06:08am Dec 19, 2005 Pacific
Hi,
I've read DistillerAPIReference.pdf (and DistillerParameters.pdf) from the developer documentation, and I have not found a way to do what I need: 'override' the distiller setting to ask for the destination filename and to open the pdf in acrobat when it's done. On windows, this does not seem to be a problem, it's documented under "Distiller API for Windows", in the paragraph "How to Turn Off Prompting for Filename". Even better, when sending the command line "/V /O outfile.pdf /J joboptionsfile inputfile" using DM_CMDLINE and WM_COPYDATA, it doesn't seem to bring up the dialog or open it, which is just what I need (even though I see no reason why it doesn't).
On Mac however, there is no such thing (in fact, the documentation for controlling distiller in this way on mac is very short: 5 mostly empty pages, explaning only that you can start and stop it and pass it a file to distill).
So, how do I stop the mac distiller from showing dialogs that are not needed when controlling it externally, when the options 'ask for pdf file destination' and 'view pdf when using distiller' are turned on by the user?

sorry, but the 2880x1800 is hardware; in fact what makes non-optimized sites look (relativly) ugly is that to upscale the graphics to the apparent resolution of everything else each pixel is represented by 4 pixels, and as you know being in graphics, upscaling pictures is generally results in ugly.
Back to my point, there's no software to make the display lose 75% of its pixels; you'll either have to use another machine and/or wait for sites to optomize their graphics for the retina displays...which may or may never happen depending on the sites awareness/closeness with Apple's technology

In Lr 3.6 how can I search for filenames ending with a # character ?

The text search seems to treat the # character in some mysterious way so as to not select the files that have it in their name. I cannot find any explanation for this in the documentation. Is there some other character(s) that I have to put beside the # to make it register as a normal character ?
My specific problem is that I need to locate a bunch of files in my catalog that have names ending with a # character. I want to rename those files in a way that removes the trailing # but not other # characters that separate key parts of the file names. If I can't do that then I want to select that group of files and produce .xmp files for them (I don't normally use .xmp files) so that I can rename the files outside Lr and import them again complete with all previous tweaks and metadata.
I dare say that I would not choose to name files this way if I started again but I've got far too many to change now.
There are also too many for me to want to rename them individually in the Metadata panel if I can avoid it.
I'm using Lr 3.6 on Mac OSX 10.6.8
cheers,
- Alan

You guys beat me to the answer, which I discovered more by accident than good management.
Firstly, I had used the # characters because they looked good in list views such as in Windows Explorer or the Mac Finder. That was from before I got into using Lr and I was trying and using several different programs to manage my photos. Then I found that trailing # characters prevented Lr from recognizing the number at the "end" of the file name and so I wanted to delete them.
Secondly, I got into the Lr rename facility initially to replace what I did with Downloader Pro before switching from Windows to Mac and subsequently found that there is no way to delete a trailing character, but it helped establish in my mind that to Lr the "filename" was just the first part of the name before the full stop and the extension (e.g. .cr2 or .nef or .jpg). Try it - there is a "filename" token for setting up a naming structure that ignores the extension and its full stop.
This was further reinforced in Library Grid View where the filename and the extension are separated and the extension is not displayed.
So having used F2 (rename) before I got around to playing with the text search I was set up for failure. Looking for {filename ends with #} or {filename ends with #.} failed because it found nothing as none of my files had a # or #. after the filename extension, and looking for {filename contains #} also failed because it found all of my files instead of just those with the trailing #. I wrongly thought that Lr had trouble seeing a # in the text search.
Now I have been able to find and select all files with a trailing # in the base part of the filename by looking for {filename contains #.} and generate current .xmp files for them. Then I went outside Lr and used a utility file renamer to get rid of the offending # for the image files and the .xmp files in bulk. Then I re-synchronized the folder(s) in Lr to import those renamed files back into Lr along with all of the metadata, and get rid of the old files from the catalog. Had those files been a part of a collection or stack then I suspect that membership of the collection or stack would have been lost but it kept the keywords, ratings, labels, and image tweaks. Then I got rid of the .xmp files again because I prefer to work without them (less clutter and less chance of other software separating them from the image files).
So much easier than doing it the hard way
Thanks for your help.

Purchase Order Row UDF for Received Qty

Hi experts,
Can someone please recommend a way to create a row UDF for purchase orders to show the qty received? We cannot use a simple calculation like Qty-Open Qty because if the row is closed manually, the open qty becomes zero. Another problem is how to prompt the PO to update this value if additional GR PO's or AP Invoices are created. Thanks.

I should explain the circumstances more clearly. There is no problem with the standard GR PO or AP invoice receiving method. What I want is a reference field on the original PO showing the total qty received to date. For example: total of 1,000 pcs ordered -> 900 pcs received against several GR PO's -> want to see that 900 has been received back on the PO. Then let's say we want to close the PO line 100 pcs short.
I can think of 2 ways to go about this:
Method 1: Change the ordered qty from 1,000 to 900 -> row is closed, but lose the reference of the original order qty being 1,000.
Method 2: Close row manually and maintain the original order qty as reference, but lose b/o qty and it is difficult to tell how many pcs where received/closed short.
Is there another way to keep all the reference information?

Acrobat 7 Pro - How to disable prompt for filename?

I have a Windows XP Pro SP3 system with Office 2003 Pro and Visio 2002 Pro installed.
I have an Access database that creates Visio 2002 files within the application. Within the Access database, i have the ability to print a single or multiple visio files at once.
I have followed all the supposed steps to set Adobe PDF printer to dump directly to a folder.
I have set Adobe PDF as my default printer.
I have gone to Printers and modified "Adobe PDF" Preferences and changed "Prompt for Filename" and selected a folder that i created. As well as unchecking the show results in Adobe option. I've also made sure that this matches under Printer Defaults. I've even tried creating a folder first, and then adding an "Adobe PDF" port to see if that would work with no luck.
What am I missing?
I have tried configuring Adobe Distiller as well as the conversion options in the Adobe Toolbar in Visio with no luck.
this wouldnt be a problem if i were just creating a handful of PDFS, but this database creates 50-100 daily so it would save myself alot of time to be able for Acrobat to name the file the same as the visio VSD file but as a PDF.
Any help/tips would be appreciated. Thank you.

If you are printing to a folder, the folder should contain PS files for each file and the option for filename is probably overwritten by the OS requiring you to specify the filename. With the Adobe PDF printer, you do not print to file, but to the default that is the Adobe PDF port. This port should automatically start Distiller to complete the conversion process - that is where the filename issue is used. The print process should be a one step process, not multiple steps.
Try printing any file to the Adobe PDF printer and be sure the PDF creation process works, then start playing your other games. Right now it appears you do not have the PDF creation process working.

Acrobat 7 Creating PDF, doesn't prompt for filename

Hi!
I'm having a strange issue with Acrobat 7. I just installed it on a new computer, and when I print a file as PDF, it doesn't prompt me for a filename. I've check the option and it is set to ask for a filename.
How can I solve it?
Thanks
Christ

Well, I just found something very strange.
When we use our application to send a files to print in Adobe PDF, it doesn't work (doesn't ask for filename, but it save the file).
If I do it from notepad, it does work fine...
If I do it from an old computer that has Acrobat 6, it does works... I'm the only one who has Acrobat 7 (Since there was no more license, and that we still had a license for version 7).
I tried it on another computer (fresh install), it does the same thing..
I have no idea right now :S

UDF for leading zero's in message mapping

Dear team,
I need UDF for leading zero's in my message mapping.
Source and Target both structures contains matnr field.But we have to maintain total 18 chars at target matnr , because RFC in R/3 needed.So I want to add leading zero's when mapping. Can anybody provide the UDF code.
Matnr[source]--->split by value(eachvalue) ->UDF->Matnr[Target]
Ex::if source matnr conatains value "9846538" ; I need matnr value at target side like "000000000009846538"[total 18 chars].

Extending flash: how do I set default values for filenames

Hi,
I am trying to set default values for filenames
<choosefile> and <popupslider>s that will show up when
my XMLpanel first loads in my jsfl extension file. It seems that I
can only set default values for textbox items.
How do I do this for filenames and popups?
As a workaround, I also tried using a flash object dialog box
to look like a <choosefile>, or any jsfl command, but then
how do I return those values back to the XMLpanel that calls them.
and pass the data back to my jsfl script.
lemme know if you know a way,

Create two constants for the Allocate Mode input (right click > create > constant). Place one in the true case of the case structure, and place the other one in the false case. Wire them to the same tunnel (border of the case structure), then wire the tunnel to the Allocate Mode terminal of the AO Config. I don't have Traditional DAQ installed, but that should do it.

Query to Lookup Ship To in a UDF for the Inventory Transfer

Good Day Experts!
I created a UDF for the Ship To Code in the Inventory Transfer Window. The problem is I do not know how to create a query to be used in the Formatted Search for this UDF wherein it will lookup all the Ship To Codes in the table CRD1 of that particular Customer selected in the Inventory Transfer window. The objective is to choose a Ship to code just like in the sales document.
My next problem would be how to display automatically the whole Ship To Address in another UDF based on the Ship To Code chosen in the UDF Ship To Code.
Your inputs would be highly appreciated.
Regards,

To get the Complete ShipTO Address, use the following Code
SELECT T0.cardname+CHAR(13)+isnull(T0.Address,'')+CHAR(13)+
cast(T0.Building as varchar(100))+CHAR(13)+isnull(T0.city,'')+CHAR(13)
+isnull(T0.zipcode,'') as Address FROM CRD1 T0
WHERE T0.CardCode =$[OWTR.CardCode] and T0.cardtype='S' and
T0.Address=$[OWTR.UDF1]
Here Replace UDF1 with the Name of the UDF in which Shipto Address Names are shown as per my previous post.
Hope you understand

UDF for filename
