How to give a dynamic File Name for Receiver File/FTP Adapter.

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I have one scenario in which we are creating a flat file of IDOC which is coming from R/3 & sending it to FTP location. For this we have configured Receiver FTP adapter with File Name Scheme as "NT.out" & in File Consturction mode i have given as "Add Time Stamp".

therfore while creating a file it is creating as NTyyyyMMdd-HHmmss-SSS.out

where as my requirement is only to to add Time & not the Date. (NThhmmss.out)

How to do this ?

for your info we are using ABAP Mapping.

Pl help me

Hi Umesh,

Add one more field to your target structure for your file name and populate that field as per your requirement like NTyyyyMMdd.out. In receiver communication channel use Variable subtiution option and give the refrence of Payload and file construction mode set as create.

And refer the below weblogs for Variable Subtiutuion File Name Scheme

Hi Umesh,

U can try out this way

Get the date from java function SimpleDateFormat("HHmmssS");

Date date = new Date();

java.text.SimpleDateFormat formatter = new java.text.SimpleDateFormat("HHmmssS");

String timeStamp = formatter.format(date);

String rcvrFile = "timeStamp.txt";

DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container.getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);

DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http :// "sap.com/xi/XI/System/File", "FileName");

conf.put(key, rcvrFile);

return value;

Hi Umesh,

define a field (directly under root would be most easy), which you fill during ABAP mapping with sy-uzeit. Then use variable substitution (dynamic filename) like described in the link i posted to you.

HI Udo,

Can u pl. elaborate this. where exactly i should add one more filed in Data Type ?

my code is exactly like the way it is given in guide ( IDoc-XML structure to a

flat file and vice versa in XI 3.0 ).

so in that code how can i filled the value of Sy-uziet.

I am new to XI. So pl. explain me in detailed.

if you want i can pass on to u my code & & data type (XSD).

pl. reply back.

Hi Umesh,

read in the link and in the posted weblogs. You need to have a filename by variable, to define a variable by givin a path and create that field in the path. In the file adapter ignore that field for content creation. Just read the library documentation or the weblogs.

Hi Umesh,

you can use dynamic file naming (see <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/bc/bb79d6061007419a081e58cbeaaf28/content.htm">Configuring the Receiver File/FTP Adapter</a> ). Get the current time in Abap mapping from sy-uzeit.
