Use job parameter as output file name "alias" ?

I have a Hyperion 9.3 job with a # of cycles. Is there a way to tell Hyperion to use the job parameter/filter as part of the file name? For example, if there is a filter called "division" and for one of the cycles that is set to "sales", is there a syntax like "{division}" I can use in the output file name so that it picks up the filter?

Unfortunately, I have never seen any kind of syntax that would allow this in Hyperion. The only way I know to do it would be using the java sdk, but that is not something that can be done on the fly...

Make output file name reflect preset used?

Is there any way to have the output file name reflect the preset used, similar to the way Apple's Compressor does? I need to do batch conversions for 20+ tv stations and individually renaming every output file to refect which tv station is super tedious. Any way to do this in Adobe Meida Encoder or should i just use Apple's Compressor?

You should do this manually in Adobe Media Encoder, and not use Compressor.
"Adobe Media Encoder is much easier to use than Compressor, encodes faster, and produces much higher quality output, as you can see in the video that accompanies this article."

XML Publisher - Specify Output file name

Hi All
I am using XML Publisher in one of our OAF pages to generate PDF reports based on some parameters. I am using the shared region which OAF has provided. On export, I see that the output file name is : template code + random number + _out.pdf. Is there anyway to specify custom output file name?? As this is little critical for me, any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Murari

Hi Avaneesh,
Thanks for your prompt response. I see that the logic for file name is in xml publisher utility class: DocumentHelper. I dont see any option to pass file name as a parameter to DocumentHelper. So I am not sure if extending OAF region controller : "DocumentViewerCO.java" would be of any help?? Please correct me if I am wrong. Did you ever try changing output file name from OAF page?
Many thanks,
Murari

"Invalid output file name" problem

Hi
I have installed FMLE in a Windows Vista Home Premium SP2 x64 machine. When I run the GUI version with any preset (using Medium bandwidth 300kbps VP6) and selecting "Save to file" "C:\temp\sample.flv" I get this error:
Invalid output file name
Filename cannot be invalid and absolute path of the file cannot exceed 255 characters.
The folder C:\temp DOES exist. I am running from my administrator (only) account. FMLE works just fine in my Mac but for some reason I need to set up a Windows machine.
What can be wrong?
Thanks

Both. I did the same thing I did in my Mac (in the Mac it works, in Windows it does not work):
1) open the GUI
2) set up the options I want (e.g. save to file X in folder Y)
3) save options as an XML profile
4) use the saved profile in the /p parameter of the command line
That did not work. So I just went into the GUI and:
1) set up the options I want (e.g. save to file X in folder Y)
2) Click START
That did not work either. I get the "invalid output file name" in both situations. And my file is name "sample.flv". I even tried without specifying a drive (e.g. "sample.flv" instead of "c:\folder\sample.flv"). The folder has no invalid characters and does exist.

Controling Bursting Output File Name

Is there a RTF template parameter I can set that will set the file name? It generates cryptic names for us (usually xmlp some numbers followed by .pdf) for the attachments it emails.
Some people have said you can control it with a bursting control file but I have yet to figure out how to setup this file or where to load it as there is no spot for it in the web UI.

There is nothing in the bursting control query to control the output file name when bursting as an email attachment. Were running BIP Enterprise 10.1.3.3.1 on an 10g Application Server backed up by SSO authentication. I have looked through the RTF template documentation and I ahve yet to find a tag to specify. Also, no where in the interface is there any option to load a Bursting Control File or edit the properties contained within whatever is used by default.

How to get the Output File Name as One of the Field Value From Payload

Hi All,
I want to get the Output file name as one of the Field value from payload.
Example:
Source XML
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
- <ns0:MT_TEST xmlns:ns0="http://sample.com">
- <Header>
<NAME>Bopanna</NAME>
</Header>
</ns0:MT_TEST>
I want to get the Output file name as " Bopanna.xml"
Please suggest me on this.
Regards
Bopanna

Hi,
There are couple of links already available for this. Just for info see the below details,
The Output file name could be used from the field value of payload. For this you need to use the UDF DynamicFile name with below code,
// Description: Function to create dynamic Filename
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 "";
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 "";
With this udf map it with the MessageType as
(File Name field from Payload) > DynamicFileConfiguration>MTReceiver
Thanks

Output file name format

Hi All,
How can i configure output file name to the desired format generated in target directory in communication channel configuration in conf scenario.
ex: i want to generate the file in the below format..
YYYYMMDD_<Receiver>.TXT
Thanks and Regards
Venkatesh

Hi,
This is the UDF u have to write in Mapping,
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;
Using this u will get the File name into target side,In this UDF add the Time stamp.
Check this link for more details.

Setting output file name in export transaction data package

Hi all,
I am running an "export transaction data" package in the data manager. I wanted to set the output file name so that it will be a constant value. I wrote the following in the package editor:
INFO(%FILE%,\ROOT\WEBFOLDERS\COLMOBIL\VEHICLES1\DATAMANGER\DATAFILES\vehicles_to_pca2.txt)
TASK(/CPMB/TD_FILE_TARGET,FULLFILENAME,%FILE%)
The system run the package and reported success but the file was not created. When i did the same with an existing file name, it was not updated.
When I run the same package with the following PROMPT command instead of the INFO command:
PROMPT(OUTFILE,,"Please enter an output file",Data files (*.txt)|*.txt|All files(*.*)|*.*)
The system works fine.
Any ideas?
TIA

I am sad to report that apparently Adobe does not do a very good job with the PDF printer. I have just spent over an hour with support to get the answer we can not help you. I guess I will have to spend $50 for NovaPDF to handle my problem. It's a shame when a superior overall product like Acrobat is not able to keep up with the knockoffs on the small things.

Require output file name same as input file without extension

I am doing a POC where I require that my output file name should be same as input file name. The input is a XML and output is Flatfile. If I use %SourceFileName%,
i am getting the output with extension. How can I remove the extension? Do I need to write a custom pipeline component?

I don't think Orchestration or custom Pipeline can help you on this as you are setting
%SourceFileName% Macros at your send Handler which comes after Pipeline Processing .
As you are converting xml file to Flat file I would suggest to use Macros as
%SourceFileName%.txt
%SourceFileName% Macro gives the file name along with extention. This won't work!

How to programmatically disable prompts for output file names in Acrobat X

My code to programmatically disable output file names (below) is not working on a Windows 7 64-bit machine using Acrobat Distiller X. It works perfectly on a Windows XP machine with Acrobat Distiller 8.
The latest API Reference I was able to find is dated June 2008. My logic follows this convention.
I have confirmed that the registry key is updated as specified below. I have also confirmed that I am able to write to the directory indicated.
Please provide any suggestions to resolve.
Thank You!

I remember seeing that the problem is thunking. A little more specifically, because it's a 32-bit driver but a 64-bit executable, there's a 32-bit system spooler process which will always show up as the EXE name.

Can I print to AdobePDF with a pre-determined output file name?

I have a list of PDF files that I need to reduce in size. I have tried many combinations of Adobe's "Save As Reduced PDF", "Save As Optimized PDF", as well as several compression programs. The best results I've found have been to print the PDF via AdobePDF, using the standard quality settings.
This leads me to my problem. It's simple to batch the print process to print multiple files to AdobePDF, however each one requires the user to specify the output file name. Is there a way to interface with the AdobePDF tool in a way that the output file name is already determined? I.e. passed into the program as an argument? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Dan
EDIT: Under the Adobe PDF Settings, the option for Adobe PDF OUtput Folder is set for Prompt for Adobe PDF filename. There is also an option to dump to Documents\*.pdf, which retains the original filename. Is there a way to specify a different directory, rather than Documents, while retaining the *.pdf argument? Again, thank you.

You would probably get better results printing from Acrobat. The HTMLLoader rasterizes the image first. You could possibly add a JavaScript function inside the PDF that prints and call that from your AIR app.
See http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/flex/quickstart/scripting_pdf.html for information on calling JS functions in a pdf file from AIR.

Dynamic output file name for scheduling a BIP report

Hi All,
I have a BI Publisher report. It has Department as prompt. we need to run the report for each department. I need to schedule the report such that, for each department i need to FTP the output with file name as department_INFO.pdf in the one folder (i.e. if dept is ABC, then i need to store the output with file name as ABC_INFO.pdf and ftp to the folder). Folder will be created already in the server.
We have around 40 departments, so i need to manually schedule this report 40 times with 40 files names and ftp the output to the folder in the server.
Can we dynamacally give the output file name based on the prompt we are using to run, instead of manually scheduling for each department.
Please help me ASAP..we cant move further due to this problem.
Regards,
Sandy

REG: Output File Name

Hi All,
I have a file to file scenario where mapping is not used. My Input file name is "XXXX.txt" and i want the output file name as "XXXX.dat". But the problem is XXXX is not a constant value but a dynamic value and i cant use a UDF because there is no mapping for this interface. Is there any other method by which this can be achived?
Thanks,
Siva

Hi!
For your input file you can work as follows:
Put the file in a special directory and then read this directory using wildcard filename definition:
e.g. *.txt looks for and processes all files ending with *.txt
For your output file (receiver file adapter) you may work with os command "rename" and/or try it using this stuff:

Dynamic report output file name

Hi,
I am generating a report using web interface by sending http string with required parameters.
Each time I run this report I am appending current date & time (mmddyyhhmm) string to the output file name.
Successfully I am able to get the outputs.
For example:
If report runs at 9:30am then MyReportOutput_0205040930.html
If report runs at 12:45pm then MyReportOutput_0205041245.html
But, I am facing the problem when I schedule the report. I want to append the report run date & time to the output file for scheduled runs.
Is it possible?
Please advise.
Thank you,
Prasad

hi,
for that you will have to use reports distribution. in the distribution XML file you can specify data fields from the report for various attributes, including the output file name.
you will have to create a column in your datamodel that creates this timestamp and then add it to your report name.
see the distribution/bursting example here on OTN for further information. click onthe getting started link on the reports homepage and then navigate to the INDEX. there you will find an overview of all the examples available.
thanks,
philipp
