Dynamic File Name for Receiver File Adapter

Hi All,
How can we use dynamic name for Receiver file adapter?
Can anyone help.
Thanks in Advance
Chemmanz

Hi Chemmanz,
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.

is there any way to have access to Filename in different root elements??

Hi Ralf,
i think, you need for each XML msg (each different root element) a new adapter -> a new IF determination, new rec agreement and a new channel.

Dynamic File name in Receiver File adapter

Hi,
My Scenario is Proxy to File.
I must create filename dynamically in the receiver file adapter by taking the sales order number and divison from the source.
How can i create a dynamic filename? i searched the forum, but i could not get the correct answer,
Please help me out.
Regards
Srinivas

Hi Srinivas,
> My Scenario is Proxy to File.
> I must create filename dynamically in the receiver file adapter by taking the sales order number and divison from the source.
public String targetFileName(String Sono, String Div, 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");
String MyFileName = sono + div + "<filename>"+".xml";
conf.put(key, MyFileName);
return MyFileName;
File name you can format according to your requirement.
And one more thing for this you have to specify the ASMA properties. For this check the below link step-1 and step-2.

Dynamic Filename on Receiver File Adapter

Hi,
I am running XI 3.0 SP 14.
The scenario is
SAP R/3 (IDOC) > XI (Receiver File Adapter)> FTP Server
There is no mapping on the XI side, we just drop the IDOC XML on to the ftp server.
I would like to configure a dynamic file name on the Receiver File Adapter where if the 'MSATZ' Field
within the E1EPD04 segment of the IDOC is populated then I would like to send a separate
Filename than the one specified on the 'File Name Scheme'.
Has anybody done this or any suggestion how I should go about this please.
Thank you.
Warm Regards,
Ranjan

Hi Guys,
When I tried to create the User defined function as below, I got the Null value for the "StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION" object.
My code looks like this,(this is part of the debuging code)
Start
public String Create(String a,String b,Container container){
if (container.getTransformationParameters() == null)
return "conf.null";
if (container.getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION) == null)
return "Dynamic.null";
return b;
--End
On the output I get the value "Dynamic.null". I do not know why the object value is Null.
Any suggestion pls.
Thank you.
Warm Regards,
Ranjan

Payload as File name at Receiver File Adapter

Hi All,
I have a requirement for a PROXY to File Scenario where Receiver files has to be named dynamically with a value from the Payload that I get. Also the particular field that has the file name should be unmapped with the Receiver.
For Example,
 <row>
 <Name>Alex</Name>
 <DOB>27062014</DOB>
 <City>Delhi</City>
 </row>
If this is the Payload I get, I want the Receiver file name to be "27062014.txt". At the same time this particular field should not be mapped at the Receiver end.
I have tried a few links which confuse me further.Kindly help me,
Thanks in advance,
Sree Ram

Hi Sree,
Please check if the case is correct. refer the below discussion

Dynamic naming of receiver file adapter

Hello Friends,
How to handle the dynamic file naming in XI at receiver side as file naming convention sequence to be incremented for every 1 hour...
my Client expecting to handle at mapping...How to do this...
Could any one give me the program if we need to do it in java...
and pls also give another approach if any
Setup dynamically ,

>>as file naming convention sequence to be incremented for every 1 hour.
Please elaborate this point. I'm again seeing same the question from your side.
From Variable Substitution you can access only ASMA and can refer the payload element. But in the requirement is something else the you should have to go for Dynamic Configuration in Mapping program.
Thanks

Counter in file name in receiver file adapter

Hi,
I am using FTP, my requirement is to add counter in the file name i.e XYZ001.
And added to this i can increment the counter till XYZ020, after this i am supposed to start again from XYZ001.It will be some how handled that when i place XYZ001 for the second time , it will not overwrite the earlier one as it will be proccess by that time.
I could have used addcounter but it doesnt work for FTP:(...also have seen /people/shabarish.vijayakumar/blog/2009/10/05/pixi-maintaining-sequence-numbers-in-file-name-scheme
Do we have any new feature added in PI 7.1 for handling this.
Regards,
Abhi

thanks shabz..
Request you to please let me know how to proceed with the first option which you have mentioned i.e,how to create tables and will i be able to start the counter again from xyz001 once i reach xyz020? is there any abap code to be written (wiil be asking SAP counterpart ) or we need to do it in the dynamic configuration udf? Please let me know how to do the same.
1. Maintain a table in SAP. Use/Code a RFC call to look up the sequence number from this table, incrementing the value after it is read. The result is then used in a dynamic configuration code, and the file name can be generated at that point.
Will this impact performance ?..mine is a credit card authentication interface and response time is imp...

Sender_interface_name in Variable Substitution in Receiver File Adapter CC

Hi,
as per this page : http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/bc/bb79d6061007419a081e58cbeaaf28/frameset.htm
it says:
Variable Substitution (Target Directory/File Name Scheme)
If you set the Enable indicator, you can enter variables for the Target Directory and File Name Scheme. Enter the names of the variables and references in the table.
●      Enter each variable that you reference in the Target Directory and File Name Scheme fields without the surrounding percentage sign under Name of Variables in the table.
The variables can refer to attributes of the message header or elements of the message payload.
○       If the variables are to refer to an attribute of the message header, add the prefix message: to the name of the variable under Reference. You can specify the following attributes of the message header:
sender_party, sender_service, receiver_party, receiver_service, interface_name, interface_namespace, message_id, message_id_hex
Can we not access sender_interface_name and sender_interface_namespace are not mentioned in above list of variables.
Is it not possible to access sender_interface_name or sender_interface_namespace as variable substitute parameters from within Receiver File Adapter Communication channel.
thanks.

Yes, i can hardcode, thats not a bad idea, i need to create then 3 different Reciever File Communication Channel objects, as I am dealing with 3 scenarios for which sender system and sender interface is different.

yes in this link you provided i can see..
INTERFACE     Interface
INTERFACE_NAMESPACE     InterfaceNamespace
SENDER_SERVICE     SenderService
RECEIVER_SERVICE ReceiverService
RECEIVER_NAME     ReceiverName
RECEIVER_NAMESPACE     ReceiverNamespace
it seems both INTERFACE (,INTERFACE_NAMESPACE) and RECEIVER_NAME(,RECEIVER_NAMESPACE) are present, may be one is for sender, and another is for receiver.. may be if i use dynamic configuration, possibly my issue would be addressed.. correct me if i am wrong.
thanks.

Dynamic file name (Date) in Receiver File Adapter

Hi,
can any one tell me how to create outbound file name with receiver file adapter in format like Name_22-08-2006.dat. I need from a current Date in the name of the message (without any other information). In message payload I dont have that date. Is it possible to use variable from user defined function in message mapping for that name?
Regards,
Naycho

Naycho,
that's exactly what I've managed to perform using DynamicConfiguration. Check these links:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/43/03612cdecc6e76e10000000a422035/frameset.htm

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/43/03fe1bdc7821ade10000000a1553f6/frameset.htm
Particularly, I've created a Java API for using setDirectory and setFileName methods through mappings. I use XSLT with java enhancement because it's a million times easier to parse and get node values with XSL than pure java.
I'm writing a blog on the subject, if you don't resolve the problem until it's out, let me know.

Changing the file name dynamicallly in file Adapter

Hi i want to change the file name directly from Java Mapping in the file adapter
for this i have written this code
DynamicConfiguration dynamicConfiguration = (DynamicConfiguration)map.get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
 DynamicConfigurationKey keyFile = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File","FileName");
 DynamicConfigurationKey keyDir = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File","Directory");
 dynamicConfiguration.put(keyFile,fileName);
 dynamicConfiguration.put(keyDir,outputpath);
but it gives a null pointer exception at dynamicConfiguration.put(keyFile,fileName);
please suggest.
regards
Nilesh Taunk.

Hi Nilesh,
If your requirement is to create , the file name dynamically for your receiver file adapter, you can do so using your FILE ADAPTER CONFIGURATION itself, and need not go for any JAVA Mappping / Java Code at all.
The dynamic filename generation concept is as follows.
In your filename field in the receiver file adapter, 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.
Also, in your FILE Adapter under the option FILE CREATION MODE, you have options like,
1.Add Counter,
2. Append
3. Create
4. Add Time Stamp
If you have any clarifications on this approach, do get back.

How to generate file name dynamically in receiver FIle adapter? Please help

Dear Experts,
 I have a scenario where I need to generate output file with the name dynamically pulled from the XI payload.
 In receiver File communication channel I don't see any option where we can specify the XML path for the file name.
 For example:
 If my inbound XML structure (inbound interface) is like below:
 <filename>file123.txt</filename>
 <RootNode>
 <Element1>Product123</Element1>
 <RootNode>
From this I need to pick the filename value and generate the output file with the same value.
How can I achieve this? Please help!
Thanks & Regards
Gopal
Edited by: gopalkrishna baliga on May 3, 2011 1:10 PM

Gopal,
You can use DynamicConfiguration class for this.
You need to write UDF for this and with input of filename you want to set and map this UDF to the top level node.
Refer the below famous blog from Micheal:
/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/11/10/xi-the-same-filename-from-a-sender-to-a-receiver-file-adapter--sp14
You can also use Variable substitution to get value from payload, search SDN on this.
