Variable substitution

Question

Maybe someone can give me a short hint regarding an error we are getting during the variable substitution in an outbound file adapter.
How can we specify a namespace in the variable substituion?
Without namespace this is working well, but we don't know how to specify the namespace.
We get this error essage: #2006-03-17 15:29:07 CET: Message processing failed: Error during
variable substitution:com.sap.aii.adapter.file.varsubst.VariableDataSourceException: The following variable was not found in the message payload: FileName
Here comes our file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<ns1:GMPluTxn xmlns:ns1="http://sap.com/xi/GMStoreConnectivity">
<GMFileHeader> <StoreNumber>0000002101</StoreNumber> <FileName>PluTxn</FileName> </GMFileHeader> <UpdateType>1</UpdateType> <PLU>000000000000610733</PLU> <RetailPrice>0.99</RetailPrice> <QuantityDescription>BX</QuantityDescription> </ns1:GMPluTxn>
We set the flag 'enable variable subsitution' and specified the filename
variable as follows:
FileName payload:ns1:GMPluTxn,1,GMFileHeader,1,FileName,1
The FileName variable is used in the File Name Scheme field:
%FileName%.asc
Thanks in advance.

Hi Malika,
Do not mention ns1 in the variable substitution.
Why you need to mention the namespace in the variable substitution ?
Just Mention GMPluTxn,1,GMFileHeader,1,FileName,1
Like this.
If you want to get the output file name with namespace, then try to get the namespace as part of your payload(i.e part of your message type ). Then if you don;t want it in the Output file, you can cut it using cut option of File Receiver Adapter.
