Target file name as field in target structure

[Former Member]

Hi SDNers,

I have a requirement where I need to populate a field in target structure with the target file name, this will be a counter.

So if the interface is run 2 times already the third file should have name XXXXXXX_03 and also this needs to be mapped to a field in the target structure.

Any ideas on how to achieve this?

(Pls Note: I am aware of ASMA and variable substitution)

Hi Gautam,

The requirement specified can be achieved through Dynamic configuration. Do the code if you are good in Java else contact a Java person to help you in this regard.

Hi Hareen,

Can you please tell me how can I set the target file name as a counter using Dynamic Cinfiguration?

The file name should be XXXXXXX_01 when 1st file is picked up, XXXXXXX_02 when 2nd file is picked up also the same filename also has to be mapped to a field in target structure.

Where do I pick up the data of number of files picked up to set this counter to use in Dynamic Configuration.

As the complexity is more, I think it is better to go ahead with Java Mapping.

Sorry Gautam,

I am not that good in Java. Please check with any of the Java developer who can help you out in this regard.

Have a z table in ABAP Stack with one column for counter, get the number from this column through an RFC lookup and concat with the file name. This z table can be refreshed for 24 hours, if you need to reset this counter.
