Variable Substitution - How do I use a segment atribute ?

Hi all, I'm facing a problem with variable substitution in receiver comunication channel.
I got the follow message:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<lote nro="000262007">
<etc>...</etc>
</lote>
I want to get atribute nro from segment lote to use in variable substitution, how can I do it?

Variable sucstitution doesnt allow a way to achieve this.
There could be some workarounds
1. Use some dummy element in ur xml message with same value as tht of the attribute.
2. Use adapter specific message attributes or dynamic file name functionality

User Variable Options: How can I use them in a Business Rule?

How can I use a "User Variable" set in File / Preferences in a Business Rule? It doesn't seem to appear as an Essbase Substitution Variable or as a Global Variable of Business Rules. The only way I know how to use it is to place the dimension on the POV or Page dimension of a data form, then use a Global Variable in a run time prompt to pick the member and run a BR against it, or some function of it.
What do I do if I want to have that dimension in Columns or Rows? How can I set a BR to directly reference the member chosen under User Variable Options?
J

Thanks Alp, but I can't seem to reproduce what you are writing below. I want to refer my Business Rule to address the value set in File / Preferences / User Variable Options; no matter what members I show elsewhere in the data form.
My other workaround is through a run time prompt and hope the user selects the appropriate user variable at the very bottom of the selection list in order to calculate the appropriate list of members.

Variable Substitution not working when using ABAP mapping

Hi all,
I am doing an IDoc to File scenario.
Due to some complex mapping requirements, i had to use ABAP mapping for IDoc to File ( IDoc : SHPMNT05)
There is also one more requirement where in i need to generate the receiver filename dynamically
i.e the filename is of the form :
GW-XYZ-DD/MM/YYYY.csv
Where
XYZ is the Shipment number (E1EDT20- TKNUM)
DD/MM/YYYY is the IDOC creation date in ECC (EDIDC-CREDAT)
so i used the variable substitution option in receiver file adapter.
But its not working.
Is there any limitation for using the variable Substitution, doesnt variable substitution work in case of ABAP mapping?
Regards,
Loveena.

Hi,
u written ABAP mapping program to get the file name in the required format ,
is it rt?
when u test it at message mapping(including ABAP map program)
u get the the required format of file name in the one of target filed.
if that was fine, please check the variable substituiton parameters at receiver file adapter.
i mean, are u maintain variable name and refernece.
u have to specify the payload information.
warm regards
mahesh.

Subject: Where are SAP Exit Variables and how to use them in Bex Query

I have seen references to variables: 0cyear (Current Year), 0CALYEAR (current year), oCALMONTH (Current month/year).
Under 0CALMONTH characteristic or 0CALYEAR I do not see any of the variables, so how does
one use these variable in the query. For example I want to create a restricted key figure: Duration restricted by Current calendar year (e.g. 2009 if I am in 2009, 2010 if I am in 2010..).

Thanks a lot. Actally, I was looking in my production system and under varaiables I did not find any SAP Exit variables,
but in development envrionment I do see some.
Why will it not show me these variables in production? Is it because:
1. Some special premssion is required to view this type of variable
or
2. THese varaiables were not installed from Business Content
It is hard for me to beleive, it is permission issue.

"CRLF" carecteres in variable substitution

Hello everyone!
I am facing a problem with the using of variable substitution for getting the file name and the file path in a receiver adapter.
The system is getting correctly the two parameters and it is deleting both the data from the file correctly too (because this is what I want).
But when the data is deleted the system leave a "CR" and "LF" caracteres and my non-SAP system reads this as two blank lines. Does someone know how to delete these caracteres whitout deleteting them from the lines above?
Thanks!

also in case you want to put small case in variable substitution why cant you use dynamic configuration and set the values to lower case?

Lower case in variable substitution

Hi experts,
in my scenario I have a receiver CC that put an xml file in a target server.
The requirement is to dynamically determine target directory based on a field on mapping header.
I have used variabile substitution to retrieve the value of the field, and with %% i have put this value on field target directory.
The problem is: value from mapping is in capital letter, but the name of the target directory in which I have to put the file is in lower case letters, and target server is case sensitive.
Obviously I cannot change value in mapping, but I need to put variable in variable substituion in lower letters.
Is it possible?
Thanks
Fabio

How to use attributes in variable substitution???:(

Hi all,
Could you please help me out in how to use attributes in variable substitution....
Regards,
Sundar

Hi,
Use Adapter Specific Identifiers , instead of Variable Name substitution.
Sender File adapter --> Adapter Specific Attributes --> Select File Name
Reciver File Adapter -->Adapter Specific Attributes --> Select File Name
In the mapping , use this code in an UDF to change the filename to what you want,
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container.getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File","FileName");
String filename="YOURFILENAME";
String rSourceFileName = conf.put(key,filename);

How can i use substitution variable

Hai All
This is my sql statement
SELECT (TO_DATE(TO_CHAR(Intime,'DD-MON-YYYY')||' '||
TO_CHAR(0815,'0000'),'DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI')-intime) * 24*60
from dail_att where to_char(intime,'hh24mi') between 0700 and 0815 ;
Here my table name called Dailyattendance
Intime field is declared as Date Type
So now i have hardcoded 0815 and now my intime is subtracted from this time so i can calculate the employee
coming late so how can i use substitution variable here to give the value at run time
Ie i need to give 0815 instead or any other time at runtime
Thanks In advance
Srikkanth.M

Where exactly are you planing to use it? Is sqlplus or at any other front end?
One way is to use below given SQL
SELECT   ( TO_DATE (   TO_CHAR (intime, 'DD-MON-YYYY')
                     || ' '
                     || TO_CHAR (:TIME_VAR, '0000'),
                     'DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI'
          - intime
       * 24
       * 60
FROM dail_att
WHERE TO_CHAR (intime, 'hh24mi') BETWEEN 0700 AND 0815;*009*

Error-Receiver File Adapter using Variable substitution when file is empty

XI Experts,
We are on PI 7.0, SP14.
We are using variable subtitution to get the filename from source message. This works fine as long as we have data in the payload for filename element. But we have a scenario where we don't have to create file when certain condition does not exists in source message so in the message payload filename element will not exists in such condition and file will be empty and we should not create file.
Parameter in the communication channel for Handling empty message is "Ignore".
Does anyone knows how to handle this scneario. We don't want to default any file name in the message mapping if source file name element does not exists.
We are following getting error in the Adapter engine.
MP: Exception caught with cause com.sap.aii.af.ra.ms.api.RecoverableException: Error during variable substitution: com.sap.aii.adapter.file.varsubst.VariableDataSourceException: The following variable was not found in the message payload: file: 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: file
Thanks
MP

You can implement this by writing the module to throw an exception or whatever method you want to execute.
If you don't want to receive an error message then module is suitable for you.

Variable substitution error while using Seeburger module parameter

Hi Freinds,
I would like to use the variable substitution in a receiver file adapter to add the invoice no.
(which is contained in the XML file) to the target filename.
In addition I have to convert the XML file to an X12 EDI format using the seeburger module "localejbs/CallBicXIRaBean".
As soon as this entry is made in the modules the following error message occurs:
"com.sap.aii.adapter.file.configuration.DynamicConfigurationException:
Error during variable substitution: com.sap.aii.adapter.file.varsubst.VariableDataSourceException:
Caught SAXException while parsing XML payload: Fatal Error: com.sap.engine.lib.xml.parser.ParserException:
XMLParser: No data allowed here: (hex) 53, 4f, 48(:main:, row:1, col:3)"
My problem is that the conversion from XML to X12 EDI is done before the variable substitution is started.
That`s why the reference for the variable is no longer valid as the file is already converted to a X12 EDI (=flatfile) format.
If I disable one of the two steps (either 1:1-mapping or variable substitution) the other step runs properly.
Has anybody an idea how to solve this topic?
Is it possible to specify the variable substitution as module?
If this is possible I could solve it by just reordering the two steps in the module chain.
Regards
Venkatesh

Use Dynamic Configuration Bean to set this value. You have to use this well before "localejbs/CallBicXIRaBean".
Check SAP note : 974481 for more information.

Second Approach if the above approach doesnt work.
Use Dynamic Configuration concept in UDF to set the filename under message Mapping.

Reciever File Adapter - Temp File Name Scheme using Variable Substitution

How can I create a temporary file that uses variable substitution?
We are having a problem with files merging when we write files using the "Use Temporary File" setting on the FIle Adapter. So two independent files are merging into a single file. We are not using the "Append" setting.
We would like to use a Temp File Name Scheme that would append the message id onto the temporary file name.
Using variable substitution we created a msgid variable. When added to the temporary file name using %msgid% the temporary file name is created with %msgid% in the name instead of the actual message id. We put the variable into the "File Name Scheme" as well and the end completed file used the message id in the name.
Any Ideas?
Thanks,
Matt

HI Matthew,
Why are you adding the message id into the temporary file??
I understand that you want the output of the filename to contain message id .. and hence you are using variable substitution for the same.
Temporary file name will anyways get overwritten by the actual file name (here the actual filename will be using variable substituion).
So i suggest to achieve your scenario you can add any name in the temporary file and maintain the desired filename you require as output in the variable subsititution.
Temporary File Name option actually acts as a lock - unlock mechanism from PI side while the file is getting written to the file server so that while PI is writting the file no third party application batch program picks it up.
I hope this helps.
Cheers
Dhwani

Using Variable Substitution

Hi Im new to XI and Im testing a simple file to file scenario by using Variable Substitution method.
PFB the input payload of my scenario:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
- <ns0:INF94145_Emp_Input_MT xmlns:ns0="http://infosys.com/xi/projects/adidas/n2">
- <Employee>
- <Details>
<Name>A</Name>
<ID>1</ID>
<Designation>SE</Designation>
<Salary>123456</Salary>
<DOJ>24-02-2008</DOJ>
<Other />

<ZIP>505001</ZIP>
<Country>India</Country>
</Address>
</Details>
</Employee>
</ns0:INF94145_Emp_Input_MT>
I used the variable substitution feature of Receiver File adapter to get the Output file name as one of the Field value from payload(Employee name in this case).
Now my question is can I be able to get the output files based on employee names.i.e.,for two employee details I should get two out files and for n employee details I should get n output files.
Can anyone tell how the above scenario could be done.
Thanks for your help.
Regards,
Prajwal

Hi,
I have used multi mapping and I tested the same and is working fine when I test in TEST tab present in mapping.
My scenario is a file to file and also I used same fields in input and output DT(datatype) for understanding purpose.
My input data type is as follows:
- <ns1:INF94145_Emp_Input_MT xmlns:ns1="http://infosys.com/xi/projects/adidas/n2">
- <Employee>
- <Details>
<Name>A</Name>
<ID>1</ID>
<Designation>qw</Designation>
<Salary>122</Salary>
<DOJ>2-22-2222</DOJ>
<Other>asasa</Other>
- <Address>
<City>asdsada</City>
<ZIP>12</ZIP>
<Country>dsada</Country>
</Address>
</Details>
</Employee>
But when coming to END to END testing I'm getting an error in IE as follows:
<SAP:Code area="MAPPING">GENERIC</SAP:Code>
<SAP:P1>Split mapping created no messages</SAP:P1>
Can anyone say what i have to do to overcome this problem.
Thanks and regards,

Blank Lines at end of file when using Variable Substitution in File Adapter

Hi all,
I'm using variable substitution in a File Adapter, it's refers an element of message, like:
filename payload:MESSAGE_INTERFACE,1,FILENAME,1
The variable substitution is working right, but it's append a BLANK LINE at end of file.
Anyone knows how to solve this problem ?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Regis,
I suppose you're using content conversion?
if so try adding
endSeparator = '0'
to your last element
this will delete the default line break at the end

Variable substitution using attribute

hi,
i want to use an attribute of an elemnet in variable substitution.
i know how to use element in variable substitution and i know that i can use message header attributes
in variable substitution, but if i create an element with an attribute how do i use it
(or is there a simple way to map a value in message mapping to message header attributes)?
Thanks
Tomer

Hi
Attribute is not supported for variable substitution.
You can try setting values for the Dynamic configuration and use it

How to enable variable substitution?

Hi,
I'm looking for some note that guides you how to enable variable substitution to create Target Directory/File Name Scheme at runtime.
Do you have some helpful tip?
Best regards,
Gerardo.
PS. i'll post reward points.

hi,
if you upgreaded you need to do: (to see new adapter functinality)
3. I can't see my adapters in the adater monitoring after the import of a new SP
a) try reimporting "SAP Basis software component"
b) take a look at the XI installation guide on how to do it: "Importing the XI Content for Software Component Version SAP Basis 6.40"
from SAP XI FAQ
BTW
but don't use varible substitution ! 
use adapter specific messages - much easier, better
