Rename file without mapping in file/FTP channel?

[Former Member]

Hi Gurus,

Now I have a requirement, need to pull a file from one folder with name such as "ABCDEF.dat" and push the file to destination folder with name such as "GHIJKLMN.txt".

That's a directly pass through scenario without message mapping,although i know we can do the dynamically rename task with mapping program, but here how to implement the requirement???

anyone help to guide me would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Rajesh,

please find the Script.

You need to call this script from File Adapter.

sh /usr/sap/XX/ima/PI/Test/TestScript.sh %F

#!/bin/sh
HOST='12.11.11.11'
USER='usnername'
PASSWD='Password'

ftp -n $HOST <<END_SCRIPT
quote USER $USER
quote PASS $PASSWD
rename $1 Afterrename.txt
quit
END_SCRIPT
exit 0

Assuminig it as NFS.

Put in communication channel text box

Input: abc.txt

Hi,

Create 1 SA,1 RA, 1 Sender CC and 1 Receiver CC

Create 2 component 1 for sender and another for receiver.

Create 2 CC, one Sender CC which will pick the from one folder with name "ABCDEF.dat" and another Receiver channel which will place the file in destination folder with name "GHIJKLMN.txt"

while creating SA and RA Key parameters are comm component, interface name and namespace,

While creating the SA, mention the sender Comm Component and any dummy name in both interface name and namespace and

Check the checkbox "Sender as Virtual Receiver" in SA and mention the receiver Comm component.

while creating RA, interface name and namespace same as mentioned in the SA.

This will create the scenario without mapping and will FTP the file to destination server with different filename.

Hi Rajesh,

you can give the file name in Receiver FTP communication channel if it is fixed. For dynamic filename other then timestamp you need to dynamically configure the file name.

On the PI side, you can only do this using dynamic configuration. If you dont want to use mapping, you can try running an operational system command after the file has been sent. For example, you can save the files on a temporary FTP folder, and then send a command like "mv file file2". This takes the "file" and move to "file2" location, also changing the file name if required.

Hi Rajesh,

Please provide the logic of naming convention,

If its fixed for all the files (means same name) then you can only specify it in Receiver file adapter file name text box

as GHIJKLMN.txt

otherwise you can use varibale substitution
