Output file name

[Former Member]

Hw to generate 5digit unique random number followed by timestamp in output file name?

Is there any function in XI helps to meet this req?

The best and the cleanest solution is to use AddMessage ID in the file adapter. The message id is always unique. Why do you want it to be only a 5 digit number? Can't a unique sequence of characters do the trick instead?

Hi Iñaki Vila

This is my sample output file name 20092009NNNNN.

Here NNNNN is the 5 digit random unique number i.e [

b]the last 5 digits shld be unique.

Naresh,

the only way to make sure it is unique is by maintaining a table (a ZTable in ABAP for example) and storing the already used names.

Do you actually need them to be random? Because if they only need to be unique, just create a table and a simple rfc that reads the table value, increments it and saves it again in the table. By always incrementing, you make sure they will be unique.

Henrique.

Hi,

If you use Henrique solution you must use an ABAP Mapping.

Abap Mapping help: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/10/5abb2d9df242f6a62e22e027a6c382/frameset.htm

I edit with add this two very interesting blogs:

No need for abap mapping, he could use a simple RFC Lookup.

Hi Iñaki Vila

As per the java code that u mentioned above, Is it generates UNIQUE RANDOM number?

[iaki_vila]

HI,

It generates random numbers. If you excute twice diferents times you have two differents numbers.

Hi,

you can make an user function with this code java:

import java.util.Random;

Random rnd = new Random();

return Integer.toString(rnd.nextInt(99999) + 1);

Regards.

use the code mentioned by Inaki and then implement the same via dynamic configuration and adapter specific properties in your mapping to achieve the result.
