File exists/Modified file

I was hoping someone could point me out in the right direction. I need to first test if the file exists and if it exists then test to see when it was last modified. If the file was modified within a certain time frame then that calls the function.
if "file" exists
if "file" was modified within timeframe
then function

java.io.File has the methods u are after!

Check if file exists in file receiver adapter

hello,
we have following scenario -> proxy to file
before appending to the file, it should be copied/renamed to a "tmp" file
xi should then append to that tmp file and copy/rename the file back to the normal name
I tried it with "Run operating system command before message processing" but
it's not working
anybody has an example on how to use those settings before/after message processing ?
regards,
michel

Hi Michel,
little confused,
1) before message processing do there any file exists?
2) why should we change file name to 'tmp' and append data to that and again rename that file ?
con't we directly proceed in append mode with file name?
When we use single command say for example cp or mv (copy or move) the commands then
eg: cp %F /var/opt/data/outbound/Test/Dummy.txt
when we club commands together or try to redirect the outputs of commands
eg: cp %F /var/opt/data/outbound/Test/Dummy.txt & mv %F /var/opt/data/outbound/Test/Dummy.txt
        or
      cp %F /var/opt/data/outbound/Test/Dummy.txt
      mv %F /var/opt/data/outbound/Test/Dummy.txt
Include all ur command in one file and call that file in the OS parameter

Checking file exist using file exist operator

Hi all,
My environment is owb 9i. DB is oracle 9.2.0.8
My business requirement is,
If file exists in the landing directory the next instant my mapping should start execution other wise it should wait untill the file arrives there.
How could i achive this functionality???
For this i am utilizing the file exist operator in process flow.
When the file exists in the specified directory i am able to execute the process flow quite fine but when the file doesnt exist in the specified directory the file exist operator is in wait state and even after when the file is placed into the directory, still the process flow remains in the wait state.
please suggest me a way.
thanks in advance.
ram.

Hi Ram,
The problem you are hitting here is that there is no wait activity and no loop activity (yet) in the process flow editor. So it is hard to model this logically.
Would it be a good idea to write shell script that does similar things? You could check for a file, pauze and check again. Then error out or succeed...
In the 10gR2 release of OWB you can completely model this using waits and loops.
Thanks,
Jean-Pierre

Base64 Encoding of PDF file existing in file system

Hello,
I need your help in finding the best way to read a file in PDF format that is in the file system of the oracle application server from the oracle database server.
From a stored procedure in database, I need to read the PDF file and get its data to binary 64 text.
I need to use PL/SQL, what are your recomendations, any sample?
Thanks.

Did you try google?

Take an existing text file and modify values

I’m looking to take an existing text file and modify certain values inside of it. Then save it to a new file, with all the same formatting as the original. The file format is not uniform and can change.
Basically the file is:
Random numbers and letters of unknown length for an unknown number of lines.
Label="Test_#"
Description
String
X=123
Y=456
Z=-789
20 lines of strings with numbers in them
Label="Test_#2"
Description
String
X=-1232
Y=4562
Z=7892
Then it repeats a set number of times.
I want to modify the X Y and Z = values for each Test_#.
I’ve managed to import the important values into a numeric array and I have a different array with values that will replace the existing ones. I’m having troubles replacing the existing ones. There are no zeros before or after the existing numbers so they are all different lengths.
If anyone has any sample code that does anything similar please post it. I’m sure someone has done something like this in the past.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I just thought I would throw this out there. Can you make the .txt file tokenized? This would make searching for specific parameters much easier.

Modifying existing jar file, how?

Hi there,
I have a problem trying to modify an existing jar file. When I want to create a jar file, I use something like:
REM build the application on windows, assuming the java/bin
REM directory is in the path environment variable
REM application is just the directory I am using
SET cp = c:\application\TestApp
javac -classpath %cp% TestApp.java
REM ****************************************
REM do packaging and adding manifest
REM ****************************************
jar cvfm App.jar manifest.mf TestApp*.class
REM ****************************************
REM run the jar file
REM ****************************************
javaw -jar App.jar
But now, I have an existing jar file (swingall.jar) and I want to modify a class within that file. So, I modified the .java file, and compiled it to get my new class file.
And the question is, how do I modify the existing file, so that I keep everything the same, except the modified class?
Thanks
Fernando

I have just found out that I can't use "u". It seemsthat's only
possible with older versions of jar.Huh? I'm using the 1.4.2-b28 jdk, it's still there,
and I don't see how it could ever possibly be
removed.
Type:
jar
with no arguments to see all the options to jar.I already did, to double check it, and this is what I got:
C:\Documents and Settings\Fernando Sanz>jar
Usage: jar {ctx}[vfm0M] [jar-file] [manifest-file] files ...
Options:
-c create new archive
-t list table of contents for archive
-x extract named (or all) files from archive
-v generate verbose output on standard error
-f specify archive file name
-m include manifest information from specified manifest file
-0 store only; use no ZIP compression
-M Do not create a manifest file for the entries
If any file is a directory then it is processed recursively.
The manifest file name and the archive file name needs to be specified
in the same order the 'm' and 'f' flags are specified.
Example: to archive two class files into an archive called classes.jar:
jar cvf classes.jar Foo.class Bar.class
Note: use the '0' option to create a jar file that can be put in your CLASSPATH
Thanks for trying with jdk 1.4, I don't have it installed in my computer right now, so I'll try tomorrow with another computer at Uni.
Thanks!

Modify Query in an Existing RDL file

How do I modify sql statement in an existing rdl file?
I have opened up the rdl file in VS 2013 and able to modify the report but do not know how to modify the query; the Datasource property doesn't seem to give me an option.

Hello,
Of course you can modify the query, but not in "Datasource", you find the queries in the (may serveral) "Dataset" definition.

ASAP Is any Java libraries exist to modify Excel file and PDF file

Is any Java libraries exist to modify Excel file and PDF file. I know about the third party libraries like Apache poi and many more. But I want to know about java libraries not the third party tools.

Modify existing XML file

Ok I really need some help...What is the JAVA code that i need to add something to an existing XML file. Basically, I want to add a new tag at the end of another one. So I need to search the XML file for the end of one tag, and then add a new tag after that one. Please help.

Sounds like you think it's simple. There is a set of XML tutorials here:

You probably need the one titled "Document Object Model" but it may help to read some of the others too.

How to check if a specific file exist and which exit code to use ?

Hi, First I'm not a scripting guy and I know almost nothing about VB scripting.
I have a deployment of 6 tasks and I want to make sure that step # 2 will not be process if it failed in step #1, and so on for the 6 task.
To do this, i have to run a vb script before installation or uninstalltion on each steps
I'm trying to use a script (not from me) that i have modified for pre-uninstallation of software and also post-installation of the software.
Pre-uninstallation: The script will look if the specified "exe" exist on the server and if so, than it will run the msiuninstall "application_name".
If the uninstallation is successful, the post-installation script will check if the "exe" file exist again on the server, and it shouldn't find it (because it was deleted from the uninstallation), than it will return an exit code of successful
to run the next process.
Here an example:
Step 1: Uninstall "Software#1" with msiuninstall Software#1.exe command
Step 2: Uninstall "Software#2" with msiuninstall Software#2.exe command
Step 3: Install "Software #3"with an .exe extension
Step 4: Re install "Software #2" with an .msi extension
Step 5: Re install "Software #1" with a .msi extension.
Step 6: Send email to confirm the deployment is successful
So i need to validate that step #2 will not process step #3 if it failled on # 2. It need to validate if the file exist before and after.
At the end, Step 6 should send an email to confirm that the 6 steps of the deployment was completed without errors.
Any idea how to do it ?
Many many thanks for all the help !
A desperate guy :)
This is what i have
'This script will look if an .exe file exist for a specific application.
'=============================================================================================
path = WScript.Arguments.Item(0)
set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
If objFSO.FileExists(C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\Enterprise\EnterpriseWS\web.config) = true then
exitCode = 0
else
exitCode = 1
End If
Wscript.Quit exitCode

Can't save modified file to a folder in an image disk directly

I have an image disk on an external drive (firewire) and if I try to save a modified file of an existing file or do a "save as" to a folder, I'm always sent to the root directly of the finder and I have to navigate myself all the way back to the destination folder, every time. MS Word is even worse. I get a message that I have the wrong path and then it sends me back to the root directory. When I get back to the destination folder, MS Word accepts it but shows the message again, anyway. This doesn't happen if I save to the image disk directly and not go into a folder.

HI Owen,
Perhaps your Quicken preference files are corrupted, it's not bad, and an easy fix. Locate this file or one that is similar: com.quicken.plist It should be here; MacintoshHD/Users/Library/Preferences. Open the Preferences folder, locate that file, drag it to the Trash, empty the Trash and reboot. It's ok to trash a pref file, your Mac will create a new one for you.
Also, here's the link to the Quicken forums; http://www.quickencommunity.com/

Good afternoon,
If you are loooking at a mapped drive, you can only see it if you change how the Oracle services start. You need to have them start with a specific user ID rather than starting as system services. The problem is that the system services cannot see mapped drives.
So, do this:
<li>Create a user to be used by Oracle services. Make sure they have the correct rights (I gave mine Server ADMIN so as to have all the access I needed)
<li>Log into the server and modify the services
<li>Click the 'Log On' tab and enter the account and password you created for the Oracle Processes
<li>Reboot the server, allowing the Oracle services to log in with this new ID.
This should then fix your problem.
Thanks,
Don.

How can I make a droplet save a modified file next to the original file?

I am having a problem getting a Photoshop Droplet save a modified file next to the original file. That is, when I drag a file "page_6.pdf" from some directory onto my droplet, I want it to do its work and save a modified "page_6.psd" in that same directory.
This isn't working for me on Photoshop CC 2014 on Mac OS 10.10.
I have an Action which has an Open command, with the filename "page_1.pdf". Then it has a bunch of editing commands. Then it has a "Save As... Photoshop format" command, and a Close command. When I run this action within Photoshop, it brings up Open and Save As dialogues, and works fine.
In creating the droplet, I used File... Automate... Create Droplet..., and selected the following options:
Override Action "Open" commands
Destination menu value = Folder
Using Choose... button, select an output folder, Directory_1/ .
Check Override Action "Save As Commands" is checked
For File Naming, I use [Document Name] + "_deleteme" + [extension]
When I drag a folder, say "page_5.pdf" from some directory onto the droplet, Photoshop runs the Action on the document. However, it saves the modified document in Directory_1/, regardless of where the original file came from. And it always names the modified document "page_1_deleteme.psd", instead of using the Document Name of the original file.
If I modify the Open command in the Action to mention a different file, then the droplet always names the modified document with that name. It's as if Document Name in the File Naming dialogue always reflects what's in the Open command in the Action. But -- I asked the droplet to Override Action "Open" commands!
When I set the Destination menu value to "Save and Close", then when I drag a file onto the droplet, the droplet opens a File Save dialogue and forces me to tell it where to store the file. I don't understand this behaviour, and have a hard time reconciling it with the documentation at Photoshop Help | Processing a batch of files .
(Interestingly, when Destination menu value = None or Save and Close, Photoshop displays an alert about overwriting an existing droplet when I click OK to save. But when Destination menu value = Folder, there is no alert about overwriting existing droplet.)
How can I set up a droplet so that it writes the modified file in the same directory as the original file, and with the same root filename, but a different extension to reflect the different output file format?
Has anyone else made a droplet behave this way on Photoshop CC 2014 on Mac OS X 10.10?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Thanks for your insights.
Does my Action need to include an Open command? I sure thought so, because of how the Photoshop Help | Processing a batch of files documentation describes 'Override Action “Open” Commands'.
"...If the action contains an Open command that opens a saved file and you don't select this option, the Batch command opens and processes only the file you used to record the Open command..." I don't want to operate only the file I used to record the Open command. However, this sentence doesn't say that an Open command should be part of a droplet Action.
"...Deselect this option if the action was recorded to operate on an open file..." Maybe I if I rethink my Action as operating on an open file, then the Droplet will take care of the Open for me. However, I have less control over the options the droplet's Open command uses.
I'll try disabling the Open command, and create a Droplet with that.

Error/warning message "you don't have permission to modify files in this network location"

Hi,
We have a windows server 2008 running, and we access it via remote desktop. And there's this certain folder that all users access, and where we save important files. So, since this is where important files are stored, we wanted to disable deletion (and if
possible moving) of the folder and everything under it. However, it's harder than i thought. Right now, we have the permissions "Delete" and "Delete files and subfolders" disabled already, BUT when we try to save a file to this folder,
we got this warning/error message:
"You don't have permission to modify files in this network location"
The file is saved however, but there's no content. But when we try to cut/copy an existing file to this folder, it works.
Does anyone know how a workaround on this issue. I've already spent days configuring the settings, and when one works, another issue comes up. This is really frustrating.
Thank you.

Hi,
What are NTFS Permissions and Share Permissions of the shared folder? If you remove delete permissions, when someone tried to create a new folder, they couldn't rename it. Without Delete permission, we can open, modify a file and save with the same file name
but cannot create a new file with a new name.
For more detailed information, please refer to the thread below:
