How to add serial counter

[former_member229127]

Hi all,

Can you pls help me out Whether is their any option in PI 7.4 side  to add counter .

Means currently in my  scenario is from the ECC side we are using the serial counter field to add the counter ,

And now the issue is we are passing multiple Idocs from the ECC side and in PI we have to generate only 1 file ,In that way our counter is miss matching in the order . for example : In  ECC we are getting 10 idocs means we have to get only 1 count .??

Hi Sandhya,

I have faced issues while using "Add counter" option in the file channel as the counter value will reset to 0 once the Java restart is done.

Hi Sandhya,

If you are sending multiple IDocs, and generating single file, and if you need counter to be generated for the file side data , you can use the Statistic COUNT function in Message mappping.

Or if you want to pass this counter from the ECC side , you need to accordingly maintain the counter in ECC and increment the counter value batch wise ( for a set of IDocs, against which a file is expected to be generated by PI system )

Thanks and Regards,

Hello Sandhya,

Your collecting multiple idocs to single file right?

try adding counter or use and dyanmic file UDF ,Give one of the input as counter.

[former_member186851]

so all do Idocs will be collected and send once right?or how ur appending at the file level?

[former_member229127]

can u pls the mapping  level .

And we are doing it through changing the occurrence of the mapping .

[former_member186851]

Sandhya all IDOCS will be in same example??..

Instead of passing counter function you can pass  serial counter field as input to the UDF.

[former_member229127]

Hello Sandhya,

I guess the better option for you would be use the "add counter" in the file channel,Since your idocs are collected in PI only.

[former_member186851]

Hello Sandhya,

Instead of naming the file with the counter field using add counter in the file channel to add the counter to the field.
