Hi

use the Adapter Specific Message Attribute in the FTP Receiver Communication Channel,

and generate the file name in the Message Mapping at the node level.

In the code instead of get function use the put function.

Thanks

Hi Kulwant

If you are using PI7.1 it is simple.

Create one table and do the RFC lookup.

Create one function module in PI. With this RFC you take the file name and place it into the table. If fille already exist in the table increment and get the value as RFC lookup out. Use this file name in dynamic configuration and use it.

Hi

Thanks for the reply. But that option is available only in NFS protocol. But not in FTP.

Is there any other way out.

true (my bad I didn't notice you were talking about FTP)

so for the FTP there is no easy way in standard

you could create the filename in the ABAP mapping (using any of the number ranges from SAP)

but it would involve writing a small abap mapping (10 lines max)

and you could append it to any interface mapping which you use
