Variable Filename in Sender-Fileadapter

Hello,
i have a question about the possibility to implement the following part of a scenario:
Step 1: An E-Mail with a filename will be sent to the XI
Step 2: There starts an BPM process
Step 3: The XI read the filename from the mail
Step 4: The Sender-Fileadapter gets the filename which was sent by mail
Step 5: The File "filename" is read from the filesystem
Now the question is, how do I get the filename to the configuration of the Sender-Fileadapter?
Can i use variable-substitution? When yes, how?
Do i have to implement an adapter-module?
Is this possible at all? Or do i have to implement the scenario in an other way?
Thorsten

Hi Thorsten,
I feel your assumption is wrong.
>Step 1: An E-Mail with a filename will be sent to the >XI
Step 1: An E-Mail with an attachment with some name will be sent to the XI
>Step 4: The Sender-Fileadapter gets the filename >which was sent by mail
You are assumption that Sender File Adapter is wrong.
Possiblity is that you will read the attachement name from Mail Message(Mail Adapter) using Dynamic Configuration(in mapping) and you can use this name further according to your requirement.
This is what I grasped from your explanation. If any where my understanding is wrong please let me know your exact requirement.
thanks,
Gujjeti

PayloadZipBean - variable filename inside the archive

Hi,
I'm using the Adapter-Specific Message Properties in a sender fileadapter to determine the incoming filename, which has variable components (i.e. date and time). After changing the prefix and suffix in a Message-Mapping the new name is applied in a receiver fileadapter. The new name is now part of the payload in the tag <Filename>. The receiver fileadapter contains the PayloadZipBean to compress the output file, everything works fine.
Now I want the file inside my compressed archive always to have the same name as my archive has. In Stefan Grube's blog about the PayloadZipBean I only found the possibility to choose a fix name by using the MessageTransformBean (name="file.txt").
Example:
1. variable input filename: IN_RNK_20080227_1006.txt
2. filename after Message-Mapping: OUT_RNK_20080227_1006.gz
3. archive filename after receiver adapter: OUT_RNK_20080227_1006.gz
 filename inside the archive: MainDocument (this is the default (payload-name))
I would like to name the file inside the archive OUT_RNK_20080227_1006, too.
Question 1: Is there any possibility to read out the mapped <Filename>-tag from the payload to use it for the element inside my archive (File Name Scheme and Variable Substitution don't work when using Adapter-Specific Message Properties).
Question 2: Is there a way to modify the name of the payload so that I can change "MainDocument" to "OUT_RNK_20080227_1006"?
I'm on XI 3.0 - SP19.
Many thanks,
Ralph

Value of user variable passed in sender/receiver queries

Hello experts,
I have to BEx queries, one sender and one receiver, I linked them in RSBBS
The problem is that I have InfoObject 0FISCPER as a user variable in the sender query and I fill it with for example "avril 2010" but in the receiver query 0FISCPER is also a user variable but it always receive "#" as value, other values are passed without problems
Regards,
Thibault Jacobs

HI Thibault,
Try making the User input variable a Mandatory one and then Check ,it shud work.
Hope u have made the necessary settings in RSBBS and activated it.

The variable $filename and the the *.fm extension

When you need the title of the document importing into a document, you can use the variable <$filename>.
This is useful as you can have a template that changes its name with the name of the file.
However, the variable always writes the document name with the file extension (for example help.fm) making the variable useless.

Putting filename in sender adapter

hi all XIs
here iam dealing with file to file.
how i can get the same file name at reciever as like sender file name.
if we put file name at source side under file acess parameters and at the same time if we put same filename at reciver side under file acess parameters then we can achieve same file name at reciver directory in reciever side server.
if this is the case then what is the use of setting adapter specific message atributes on sender,reciever side.
waiting for u r answer.
bye .
regards.
seeta ram.

Hi Seeta Ram,
In the sender file adapter ,
you select Adapter Specific Message Attributes and check Filename.
Now you can access this file name in mesasage mapping.
you need to create an extra field in your target message that should not be passed in the target file.
pass this file name in this target message field using an UDF.
and in target comm channel, enable variable substitution and declare a variable as shown in the following link.
/people/jayakrishnan.nair/blog/2005/06/20/dynamic-file-name-using-xi-30-sp12-part--i
In case you need any more help, just let me know.
you can put the follwing code in udf to access the file name.
String FileName;
    DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration)inputparam.get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
        DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File","FileName");
         FileName = conf.get(key);
        return FileName;

Custom Filename for ESB FileAdapter Write

Hi,
I have a ESB service that monitors and deqeues from the oracle.apps.po.event.xmlpo business event via the Oracle Applications adapter. This works fine as the WF_EVENT_T schema is routed via an XSL to a custom XML which is used later.
However, I want the file to use a custom filename with the file adapter. In principle I know how to do this using the ehdr:setOutboundHeader functionality and have got this to work when setting a static filename.
However, I want to be able to create the filename based on the Purchase Order Number coming from the WF_EVENT_T schema. It seems that the ehdr:setOutboundHeader function has to be set before any of the XML Template matches, which means at this point the Purchase Order number is not available. Below is the main parts of the XSL.
<xsl:variable name="CustomFilename" select="'/ns2:PONo"/>
<xsl:variable name="AssignFilename"
select="ehdr:setOutboundHeader('/ns1:OutboundFileHeaderType/ns1:fileName',$CustomFilename,'ns1=http://xmlns.oracle.com/pcbpel/adapter/file/Capture_PO_Event_Data/;')"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<ns2:HCNPOWFEVENT>
<xsl:for-each select="/imp1:WF_EVENT_T/PARAMETER_LIST/PARAMETER_LIST_ITEM">
<xsl:if test='NAME = "DOCUMENT_NO"'>
<ns2:PONo>
<xsl:value-of select="VALUE"/>
</ns2:PONo>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>
<xsl:for-each select="/imp1:WF_EVENT_T/PARAMETER_LIST/PARAMETER_LIST_ITEM">
<xsl:if test='NAME = "ECX_TRANSACTION_TYPE"'>
<ns2:POType>
<xsl:value-of select="VALUE"/>
</ns2:POType>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>
<xsl:for-each select="/imp1:WF_EVENT_T/PARAMETER_LIST/PARAMETER_LIST_ITEM">
<xsl:if test='NAME = "ECX_TRANSACTION_SUBTYPE"'>
<ns2:POSubType>
<xsl:value-of select="VALUE"/>
</ns2:POSubType>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>
<xsl:for-each select="/imp1:WF_EVENT_T/PARAMETER_LIST/PARAMETER_LIST_ITEM">
<xsl:if test='NAME = "ECX_PARAMETER5"'>
<ns2:OrgId>
<xsl:value-of select="VALUE"/>
</ns2:OrgId>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>
<xsl:for-each select="/imp1:WF_EVENT_T/PARAMETER_LIST/PARAMETER_LIST_ITEM">
<xsl:if test='NAME = "ECX_PARTY_ID"'>

</ns2:ECXPartyId>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>
<xsl:for-each select="/imp1:WF_EVENT_T/PARAMETER_LIST/PARAMETER_LIST_ITEM">

</ns2:ECXPartySiteId>
</xsl:if>

Any ideas on how this can be achieved ?

Ok I was able to get fileadapter filenames modified.
First you cannot do this after a dbadapter query as that functionality seems to be broken. The best way to solve it for me was to simplify the problem, I started with placing the setoutbound header data after reading a simple file and ignoring the files content altogether. I do the set inside a match of the xslt using a constant value, again for simplicity. For the test just put in 'ateststring.txt' in the setoutbound header call, no need to select data from the document at this point; we will get to that. Now get that to work.
Once you have that working take a value from the incoming document and select it into a variable named myvariable then replace the 'ateststring.txt' with $myvariable. So basically its a three step process for the final solution. Select the data of interest from the document into a variable. add a select statement to make the method call just after that. Make the method call inside the select statement and prepend the variable name with the $ symbol.
So far I have only tested this file to file and file to ftp, I suspect that jmsadapter to file will work fine too. So the trick for me was to understand that if an incoming document is the result of a query that just wont do. My requirement was to take an input JMS request, use that to drive a query, take the data from the query and write it to a filename as defined in the JMS request. No matter what I did to set the frustrating fileadapter/ftpadapter filename in the header I was unable to do so. I used constant strings etc in every part of the document ( before select, inside select, outside select etc ). It wasnt until I went file to file that I was able to get this to work at all. And then not in the xslt header etc, it MUST be in an area of the document that resulted in a select match, which after review makes sense.
To work around the query to file issue, I place the results of the data query into a temporary filename%SEQ%.tmp, along with the query results I add the real filename inside the document. I have a file listener that listens for the filename using wildcards filename*.tmp, it takes the file reads it in, pulls the permanent filename from the incoming document, and sets that filename in the header using the steps worked out above by selecting the filename into myvariable.
You cannot ( to my knowlege ) store variables in ESB so I found I had to put them inside the documents to move the data around. When I am all done with the work through the routing service I strip out the variable data fields that I needed to carry along with the data.
Please let me know how you are going with this, I hope this saves someone else a bit of frustration.
Thanks again,
John

FileName in Sender File Adapter Module

Hi Folks,
In my sender file adapter have written a module to read the picked file name. The protocol used is NFS.
Notice that the file name read in the module has the absolute path, including the directory path. E.g The file name xyz has to be picked from source directory
XIServer\Outbound. In the module when I retrieve the file name, it comes up as
XIServer\Outbound\xyz. Is this expected behaviour?
I was expecting just the file name<xyz> to be retrieved.
Thanks,
Anand

HI,
Create an UDF and write this code.
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;
in Adapter u will have Adapter specific parameters check the file name check box.
Using this UDF u will get the file name at target side.

Phani.

File receiver adapter with the same filename than sender

Hi guys,
I am experiencing a problem when I use the Adapter Specific Message Properties to be able to receive a file with the same name as the sender.
I've been following the example of Michal Krawczyk (XI: The same filename from a sender to a receiver file adapter - SP14) but i get a problem related with the content converter parameters.
The error I receice in the File Adapter is the next:
Could not process due to error: java.lang.Exception: Exception in XML Parser (format problem?):'java.lang.Exception: Message processing failed in XML parser: 'java.lang.Exception: Consistency error: more fields found in XML structure than specified in conversion parameters!
I have been trying to do all the combinations with the content conversion parameters but the result is allways the same, MORE FIELDS FOUND IN XML ....
My XML structure is the next:
<ns0:MT_MDFranceN xmlns:ns0="urn:s-n:HR:MasterDataFrance">
 <lines>
 <line>
 <header/> 1..1
 <data/> 0...unbound
 </line>
 </lines>
</ns0:MT_MDFranceN>
In the header I write the name of the file with the code provided by SAP and Michal, so the name of the file is stored there.
any help?
Thanks!!!!!

I have changed the XML because, as you said, there is no need to introduce the filename inside the payload. Now the structure is the next:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ns0:MT_MDFranceN xmlns:ns0="urn:s-n:HR:MasterDataFrance">
 <lines>
 <line>
 <data/>
 </line>
 </lines>
</ns0:MT_MDFranceN>
Record Structure: lines,line
line.addHeaderLine 0
line.endSeparator 'nl'
lines.fieldSeparator 'nl'
line.fieldFixedLengths 1300
A sample of the payload is the next:
- <ns0:MT_MDFranceN xmlns:ns0="urn:s-n:HR:MasterDataFrance">
- <lines>
- <line>
<data>EDI_DC40_U5300000</data>
<data>E2HR_HD001 530000000000007802</data>
<data>E2HR_KY001 530000000000101TS 20070104000010 20070129</data>
000000601</data>
</line>
</lines>
</ns0:MT_MDFranceN>
And..... I still have the same problem, the same message in the file adapter:
 'java.lang.Exception: Consistency error: more fields found in XML structure than specified in conversion parameters
Any idea of what can be the problem?
thank you very much!!!

File-to-file scenario: no mapping, filename from sender file

Hi all,
file-to-file without mapping.
we want to use XI to transport just files from XI file directory to another ftp-server (+ archiving on xi file directory)
we configered an sender file adapter that picks the file up, but
we have problems configuring the receiver adapter in that way that the filename or the original file is used
Is that possible? with which parameter settings
filename is not content of the XI message content so "message:FileName" doenst work
Thank you very much
regards
Hans

Webi - store report in Variable filename.

Hi,
I have BO Webi report say XYZ which is schedule and run on weekdays. once it is refresed I wanted to give name as XYZ_YYYYMMDD.XLs ( where YYYYMMDD is system date).
in CMC there is option to name the report with some extension ( CMS-> Folder->Schedule->Destination and specify filename radio button). but the one I am looking is not available.
is there any way to change the report name with some variable value and store in Excel ?
Your early response would be appreciated.

You can select 'Date and Time' when check specify file name. Select 'Title' put an hyphen and select 'Date and Time' and also check 'add file extension'.

Variable filename and folder in receiver cc

conf.put(key1, Name1);
String Name2 = var2;
DynamicConfigurationKey key2 = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File", "Directory");
conf.put(key2, Name2);
return "";
Maping:
Var1---
UDF----TargetMessageNode.
Var2---
Under ID: Enable ASMA in file receiver adapter and chk FileName and Directory.
and put * under File name and / underTarget Directory(File receiver).
NOTE: U can alter this UDF according to ur req.

How to use sql variables in jdbc send adapter??

Hi,
i wanna use a variable in the sql statement in the jdbc send adapter.
i know i can key sql statement in the "Query SQL Statement" in the jdbc send adapter.but i dont know how to use variables in the sql statement.
i mean, for example, the sql statement is "SELECT * FROM t_student WHERE READFLAG = 0", but now i wanna instead of "0"(the value of the READFLAG) using a variable.
and if i can use a variable to replace the "0"(the value of the READFLAG above sql statement), then how can i send a value to the variable??
request help in the regard.
thx in advance.
