Issue with utl file

Hi,
I am using UTL file to export records from table with fixed delimiter to a text file.
It works fine except that I see an additional character @ at the end of the file in the last line.
Can anyone let me know why are we getting this and how can we delete it..
Thaks in advance..

I assume, as you are saying you can see the file ok in notepad/wordpad that you are creating a text file.
So a) what are you using to view the file in unix and b) how did you transfer the file to unix?
When you transfer files from Windows/DOS based operating systems to unix based operating systems you have to be aware that Windows uses a CR/LF pair of characters to terminate a line (a 'newline') and unix just uses a single LF character (character 10 in the ascii table) to terminate a line. So when you transfer the files you need to convert the CR/LF pairs into just LF characters.
Typically this is done if you transfer the files using FTP and specify the 'mode' to be ASCII rather than BINARY.
c:\>ftp testserver
Connected to testserver.mycompany.com.
220 sunny2 FTP server ready.
User (testserver.mycompany.com:(none)): myuser
331 Password required for myuser.
Password:
230 User myuser logged in.
ftp> ascii
200 Type set to A.
ftp>
This tells the FTP software that you are transferring text files and that it needs to convert newline characters, if necessary, when transferring between Windows and Unix operating systems.
And for reference, if it's not a text file, then you must transfer in BINARY mode to ensure the files remain byte for byte the same...
ftp> bin
200 Type set to I.
ftp>
If you don't transfer text files, between different operating systems, in ASCII mode, then those files will either be missing characters or have additional characters that aren't wanted.

Issue with UTL FILE, does not read directory path

Hi Guys
I have created a procedure using a UTL_File, but when I execute that procedure, it comes with an invalid directory path.
create directory r_bmw as 'C:\BMW';
grant read, write on directory r_bmw to bmw;
The above have been created successfully. (r_bmw is the Directory Name. C:\BMW is the directory path.)

Above is the output when select * from dca additional data.
I have edited the r_bmw to varchar (32757 BYTE);
however, the same errors still appear. Would I need to change the select statement to a different table...and not dca additional data?
ThanksSo you have created a directory name r_bmw
create directory r_bmw as 'C:\BMW';
grant read, write on directory r_bmw to bmw;And your are querying select * from dca additional data, which doesn't return your recently created directory.... So... what to do what to do.... You should query the all_directories with directory_name = 'r_bmw'.

BTW: you close your file in a loop. That makes no sense, since you opend only one.

A serious issue with excel file read in ODI

hi gurus,
Issue with excel file read is that we can read only one file by setting the path from ODBC Data Source Administrator-->System DNS -->Select Work book
what i want to read the dynamic path(Every time I cant go back and set the Work book to select the excel file..
So i came up with a solution to write a Vbscript that convert the excel to csv my problem got solved for dynamic paths the script is as follow:
Set objArgs = WScript.Arguments
For I = 0 to objArgs.Count - 1
FullName = objArgs(I)
FileName = Left(objArgs(I), InstrRev(objArgs(I), ".") )
Set objExcel = CreateObject("Excel.application")
set objExcelBook = objExcel.Workbooks.Open(FullName)
objExcel.application.visible=false
objExcel.application.displayalerts=false
objExcelBook.SaveAs FileName & "csv",23
objExcel.Application.Quit
objExcel.Quit
Set objExcel = Nothing
set objExcelBook = Nothing
Next
Now this script convert the xls file to csv with comma seprated values
e.g in excel sheet if data is ABC XYZ PQR
csv will come with ABC,XYZ,PQR
here the delimiter is , i want the delimiter as pipe | who's ascii code is 124
but if i change 23 with 124 its not working i getting the error cannot save as...
can anyone tell me that what should be the correct code for pipe
so that the output is ABC|XYZ|PQR
AS WE CAN USE THE SCRIPTS IN TOOLS

I dont have the answer for your question but i have different approach in handling multiple Excel File.
Step 1. Copy a sample source Excel File and Call it Final.xls .
Step 2. Map this Final.xls to DSN and in Topology call this Final.xls
Step 3. Do the Reversing and Map and test the Interface . Once its done.
Step 4. Create a Package and using a http://odiexperts.com/?p=1426 get the list of all the Excel File
Step 5 . Using this http://odiexperts.com/?p=273 create a Loop to Read the Excel File name
Step 6 . Copy using OdiFileCopy to Final.xls and run your interface .
Step 7. Increment the Loop and copy your next File for Final and run the interface
Step 8 . Finally you will be able to read all the Excel File .
Step 9 . Delete the source file [ Optional ]
Hope this helps.

I've encountered this error myself upon occasion. If I remember correctly, it was a permissions/ownership issue with the some of the files I was copying.

I am having issues with Sidebar files not appearing from within InDesign CS5.5. They show up fine from other Adobe applications. Using OS10.6.8.

I am having issues with Sidebar files not appearing from within InDesign CS5.5. They show up fine from other Adobe applications. Using OS10.6.8.

I would first of all trash the preference file for InDesign, make sure the application is closed then find the prefs in
/Users/USER NAME/Library/Preferences/Adobe InDesign and just throw the entire folder away, it will generate a new one after you launch InDesign again.
Now launch InDesign and see if the problems are resolved.
If not I would repair your permissions on your hard drive wih disk utility, and if that fails then di-install InDesign and re-install that single application.
Let me know if any of these suggestions work for you
I will be checking my email although you might have to wait for a response as I will be taking a microlight flight over the Victoria Falls tomorrow. Yay can hardly wait.

Issue with Sender File FCC

Hi Experts,
I have an issue with Sender File FCC Adapter. The file being picked is of type TXT and it is tab seperated. The first line contains the field names and from next line onwards we have values for those fields.
The field names and field values are tab seperated. Even inserting a single letter in some field value manually disrupts the whole setup & alignment of the TXT file and the Sender File CC is unable to pick up the file from the shared folder. If the first file is errorenous and after that a correct TXT file is posted, it fails to pick up the correct file as it is trying to pick the errorenous file first.
The Error thrown is :
"Conversion of file content to XML failed at position 0: java.lang.Exception: ERROR converting document line no. 2 according to structure 'ABCD':java.lang.Exception: ERROR in configuration / structure 'ABCD.': More elements in file csv structure than field names specified!"
I have two questions:
1. Is there a way to handle such a scenario? For e.g., the errornous TXT file gets picked but throws error in PI.
2. Is there an alternative that the sender FCC channel picks up the correct files and filter out the errorneous ones ? ?
Thanks,
Arkesh

Hi Arkesh,
I think you are passing more number of fields than expected. Please check paramters defined and send the data accordingly.
In the processing parameters tab of sender file adapter, you have an option called Archive faulty source files, below to that you would have option to enter the " Directory for Archiving files with Errors".
I hope this helps you....
Thanks,

Issues with RAW files from my 7D

I have Aperture 1.5.6 on my computer and the software updater says that is the current version. I shoot with a 20D and a 7D. I upload my raw files to Aperture and edit them from there and then process for a jpeg. However, every time I upload a raw file from my 7D I get the following message when I click on it to edit it: Unsupported Image format.
Any words of advice, other than just buy Aperture 3??

I have Aperture 2.X and had zero issues with RAW files from a 7D, so I think the problem is you are on 1.X. Converting to DNG first was a good suggestion if you don't want to purchase 3.X. Yet another reason to hate proprietary raw image file formats.......

Sharpening issues with RAW files

Hi,
I have downloaded lightroom 5 as a one month trial and have been playing with the program. I am not an experienced user and are wondering if I am doing something wrong, have wrong settings applied or if it is the known sharpening bug that messes with my photos. I know that sharpening and noise reduction includes a bug that does not let you export pictures 1/3 of original size with sharpening/noise intact. However, in my case, this also happens with RAW files. I do not crop or change size/resolution to any of the photos, but the sharpening is still not working. Photos look great in develop mode, but when I click on library mode to export them, all sharpening disappears!
Is this the same bug previously reportered "only for pictures 1/3 of original size", or do I have some strange settings applied?
I was loving lightroom 5 up until I noticed this, and now I am reluctant to buy the product...
I'd be greatful if anyone has any input on this!
Thanks in advance

During movement, it first copies the file from source folder to destination folder using FILE COPY package and then removes the file using FILE REMOVE package from the source folder.
Few cases are found that the file when files are copied they are copied as 0 bytes in destination folder but the source file had 1 MB file size. The interesting part is I am unable to replicate the issue. Means when i try to run once again the package its working properly and files are copied with correct size. This kind is issue is occuring very rarely though as once in month but the question is why FILE_COPY package is not working properly sometimes.. I am unable to understand.
Thanks a lot for going through this. Any suggestions.
Regards,
Ashish

Anyhow make sure that the copy will start after the full generation of files.
You can think like a spool file generation with huge data. In that case initially spool file available with 0 byte only. After finish of query only it shows its actual size.

Issue with Deduplicated files and Mac OSX 10.9.2

Running a Windows 2012 R2 DFS with Deduplication enabled on the storage drives. Both Macs and PCs regularly interact with the system with no issues.
However with Apple's rollout of 10.9.2 SMB2 'fix' users are no longer able to correctly interact with any files on the file server with the "SparseFile" attribute, which appears to be from the deduplication of the file.
When the Macs attempted to download a "sparsed" file they get an error along the lines of "you do not have permissions to copy this file". This is annoying enough, but the biggest head ache is when a user tries to
copy a folder that has sparced files in it, the folder and its files are seemingly copied but the Mac does not copy the sparced files... and give no indication to the user that it ran into an error... Finder just closes like
the operation was completely successful.
Even more annoyingly the user can open the file directly from the server, and work on the file with seemingly no issues, but when they save the file the changes are often not saved, and the user gets NO feedback from the application or OS.
It seems the Macs are seeing the file as having a NULL file size and they skip the file when they download it. This was not the case in 10.9.1 or any other version of any other OS we have tested. We have entered this as a bug to Apple
and hope they will fix it... mostly just posting this for the next admin who is pulling his hair out trying to figure this out.
For a work around you can force the Apple 10.9.2 system to use SMB1 by using the CIFS protocol to connect to the server instead of normal SMB... which is not ideal but will work for now.

Hi,
Please try to change "everyone" user permissions on a share folder to modify to see if the issue still exists.

Transparency Issues with PSD files in FCP 7

I'm having some weird file layer transparency issues with FCP 7. I'm working on a project that's made up entirely of graphics drawn in Photoshop CS5. They Photoshop settings were done to match an HDTV 1080i (16:9) sequence in FCP. In FCP, the pixels were set to square, field dominance to none, frame rate to 29.97 and compressor is Apple ProRes 422.
I exported my PSD files out of Photoshop, with each layer being exported to its own file. In general, things were fine, but there were a few files where you could see the outline of the character against the background, but mind you that this is only visible once the video is rendered out in the FCP timeline. Nothing is visible in Photoshop, nor is it visible while viewing from the Browser in FCP. I told this to the artist and he went back and made corrections, making sure everything was on a transparent background, but the result was still the same - once I rendered the graphics out in FCP, these edge lines were visible.
I then went back into Photoshop, opened all the files that were giving me trouble, clicked on the "foreground color" and changed it to a color other than white, then back to white and hit ok. That seemed to work - even when rendered out, I was getting no artifacts, until I tried enlarging the graphics over 100%.
Also, with some of the same graphics, I was trying to layer them so that a guy was in the foreground with other people and a van behind him in the background. Once again, no problem in Photoshop, but once brought into FCP, the background people were actually being displayed over the main foreground character.
I'm pretty baffled - what to do? I'll attach a photo of the weird lines around the characters. It might be hard to see at this size, but if you download and enlarge it to 300% or so, you'll see what I mean.

Just saw that Adam's original post was an older one. Will keep this here anyway to maybe help the most recent poster.

Adam, did you try what David said about pointing to the root folder? Did that work?
When I copy the SD card, I name a new folder on my hard drive something specific, like Smith Wedding. Then I copy everything inside the SD card to that new folder. The first level inside my new folder now has folders for
AVF_INFO
PRIVATE
and on down from there. When you open Log and Transfer, point it to the Smith Wedding folder (of course whatever you have named yours).
ClipWrap2 also works great to convert the files beforehand if you want.
What camera are you using? I have the Sony NX30 and it was giving me fits because the .mts files don't ingest if the clips are longer than 11 min. My problem is that I'm still on FCP 6.0.6. I think 7.0.3 fixed that. But I did find enough work-arounds to keep the camera.
This is a link to the full discussion if you are interested.

[Applet]Printing issue with pdf files on Xerox 4595

Greetings !!
I'm trying to print to a Xerox 4595 printer from a Windows XP station (limited account) using a Java Web Applet.
This applet generates pdf files which have to be printed.
The Xerox 4595 uses a printing queue that is detected by the Applet.
The problem is the following: usually when printing a simple local file from this computer there is a box that asks you your login to let you create a job and then print.
When using the Java Applet, there is no way to have this print box displayed. We have the Java Print Dialog but once clicked on "Print" there is no box displayed to pass the login to the printer and let us print.
Is anyone already worked with Xerox 4595 and experienced such issue ?
How can I, using the Java language and modify the Applet, ask the printer to send me the dialog box asking for the login ? Without this login no jobs are accepted and we can't print the generated pdf files.
I looked on the printer queue settings and it seems that the Xerox uses the IPP to communicate with the local computers in the office.
The server from which the Applet is used is a openSuSE Linux Web server (apache2)
How come using Linux workstations any pdf files are printed (on shared printers such HP laserjet) and under windows there is jammed characters and sheet feed instead ?

A lot can depend upon which app your are using on your tablet device, the same applies to computer programs but apps are much worse.
Which app are you using?
I would try the free Adobe Mobile Reader. This product seems to support more features than other apps.
There could even be issues with the type of tablet you are using. The Apple line may work better then Android devices since there is QA check and approval by Apple.
Another factor is the how the PDF was created.
How well are the maps displayed on your laptop or desktop? Try different values of zoom.
