Variable filename

I'm doing a project where I have to take snap shots from a video camera. I've manage to do this part but I can't create a variable file name to save the images. If I can take the variable out of a while loop, in every loop, I can use this value to name the file.
Thank You Guys...

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.

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

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

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

Dear experts,
On PI, I need to create a (text-) file with a variable name and folder. The scenario is as follows:
idoc-> PI -> txt file
In my incoming Idoc I get the following data:
- directory where the txt file should be saved;
- name that the txt file should get.
How can I realise this in PI? Using variable substitution? As I never done this before, I have a hard time getting this to work...
Please help.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Use Dynamic Configuration:
Input will be 2 variables var1, var2.
String Name1 = var1;
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container.getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key1 = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File", "FileName");
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.

Variable filename for output

Hey all,
I want to have the file I spool to in a sql script to change depending on the database I'm connecting to, but am unsure how to accomplish this. Can this be done? Can someone provide an example?

    LOCATION ('variable_filename.csv')
It works fine when I put the name of the .csv hardcoded in the script. Like this: LOCATION ('Kassa_20130406130014.csv')
I have written a function which returns the filename, but when I use the function in LOCATION (function()) I get an error: ora-00905: missing keyword
How can I call a function in LOCATION ()?

Hi,
I'm not sure but I think you need re-create external table.
Create procedure that drops and re-creates external table dynamically with new file name.
Or use e.g. DBMS_SCHEDULER to call OS script that renames file always to same name for external table.

InDesign export to single PDF files with variable Filename

Hi there, I create a document with Data Merge which contains about 200 Pages. Now i want to export each page to a single PDF-File. Also the filename has to be generated from the placed content. The placed content are adresses. So i want to generate a filename with a static name. I got an ID, a static phrase and then a ZIP-Code. The Filename should look like this: <ID>September<ZIP Code>.pdf while ID and ZIP Code are fields from the datamerge.

what you need is to operate throuh a loop. for(i=0; i<app.activeDocument.pages.length;i++) { //Assuming you labelled the textframe containing the ID with ID var myID = app.activeDocument.pages[i].textFrames.item("ID").contents; //Assuming you labelled the textframe containing the ZIP with ZIP var myZip = app.activeDocument.pages[i].textFrames.item("ZIP").contents; var myPath = //something like "/disk/folder/" //Set a path to where you want to export the pdf var myFileName = myID + myPath + myZip + ".pdf"; //Export to PDF - the forum is full of examples, you should find easily what you are asking for with search } Loic

How to select variable filename from local directory with fn to load xml

I would like to select a specific xml file to load from a local directory. The file name is composed of “Title” + “number sequence”. I know the Title (in this case its XLink07), but I need to select the latest number sequence or the latest by date stamp.
For example, the local directory has the following files:
XLink01[36735298100].xml
XLink02[36735298100].xml
XLink02[36735298101].xml
XLink07[36735298100].xml
XLink07[36735298101].xml
In this example I need to select file XLink07[XXXXXXXXXXX].xml where XXXXXXXXXXX is the highest number within the XLink07[XXXXXXXXXXX].xml files. Title is Xlink07 and function should return Number sequence [36735298101]. Files with higher number sequence have later date stamps than files with lower number sequences. I need to select the highest number or the latest date stamp for the file that begins with XLink07….
My action script to load the local .xml file without any function to select the correct file is:
Security.allowDomain("*", "*")
var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest("XLink07[36735298101].xml"));
xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, showXML);
function showXML(e:Event):void {
XML.ignoreWhitespace = true;
var Innards:XML = new XML(e.target.data);
tweet_name.text = Innards.XLink01[0].screen_name;
tweet_1.text = Innards.XLink01[0].text;
tweet_date.text = Innards.XLink01[0].created_at;
Thanks for the help if anyone can script that function for me if its possible.

Error in Variable Substitution

I want to use "File Name" in the "File Node" node for my variable substitution.
In the configuration:
File Name Scheme = %filename%
Variable = filename
reference = payload: Messages, 1, Message, 1, MT_Level1, 1, FileNode, 1, FileName, 1
Note: I'm using multimapping (1 to N).
File Name path is /ns0:Messages/ns0:Message2/ns1:MT_Level1/FileNode/FileName ( from right click in the file name --> copy path).
I got following error:
"Attempt to process file failed with com.sap.aii.adapter.file.configuration.DynamicConfigurationException: Error during variable substitution: com.sap.aii.adapter.file.varsubst.VariableDataSourceException: The following variable was not found in the message payload: filename"
Please advise!
Best Regards,
Victor.

Dear All,
My problem is solved!
The issue is because I don't put the interface mappings sequence as the same sequence as the message mappings sequence. Hence the structure name that i put in the variable substitution all are not match with the structure name in the payload even though all have the file name element.
So what i did is i have to reorder the sequence of my message mappings to be the same sequence as the interface mappings sequence.
Thanks for all that trying to help!
Appreciated it guys.
BTW, for the variable reference it's correct that i no need to put message and message2 as the reference.
payload:MT_Level1,1,FileNode,1,FileName,1 will do.
Best Regards,
Victor.

Dynamic Filename in Fileadapter

Hi all,
I like to use the new feature (SP15) of the "Adapter Specific Message Properties" but with out success. I have read Michaels Blog "XI: The same filename from a sender to a receiver file adapter - SP14" but it give me not a clue how to use these properties during the normal receiver configuration and also the manual is not very clear about it. I have set a Variable with "FileName message:FileName" (I have tried also "message:File_Name") Than I have used this filename Variable in the field "Filename Schema" like %FileName%. But I allways got this error: com.sap.aii.adapter.file.varsubst.VariableDataSourceException: Unknown message header category 'FileName' for variable 'FileName'.
What have I missed out here?
Thankx
Manfred Schmidt-Voigt

Hi Manfred,
The dynamic filename generation concept is as follows.
In your filename field. just give a variable with % symbols. (eg: %file% ).
Now, under the option Variable Name Substitution, you can give how the value has to be created.
It can be your interface name, sender service name, etc or it can be some value dynamically from your payload.
For the former, your give
message:interface_name ,etc
and for the payload part you give,
Payload: "your element root which u wanna acecss"
Just check this link out,
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/bc/bb79d6061007419a081e58cbeaaf28/content.htm
And read the contents under variable substitution and it will help you understand the concepts better.
If you have any clarifications, do get back,
Regards,
Bhavesh

How do I get the loaded file_name into a variable?

Hi,
I am busy loading multiple flat files into my Oracle Database. I have defined a File Format for this and it works fine. However, there is a FILE_NAME field in my table, which should contain the name of the file where a specific record was loaded from.
My question is, how do I store the file name in a variable so that i can use it to fill the FILE_NAME field in my table? I have defined my global variable $FileName but I don't know how to write the script to fill this variable.
Your assistance will be highly appreciated.

In DI 11.7 this is very simple because there's a new option in the file reader instance that adds the file name as an additional output column. You will find this option when you use a file format in a dataflow and check the file reader options (last set of options in the list). More information can be found in the Designer guide (File Formats chapter).
In previous versions this is more difficult to accomplish.
You would need to:
1) use script and the exec() function to write al file names to a text file (something like dir *.txt > filelist.txt).
2) read this file and write to a table
3) in a loop read the file name from the table (with sql() function) and store in a variable
3) in the file reader use the variable to acces the file
It might be worth upgrading to DI 11.7 is you need the simple solution .
