    Hi Amit,
    you can not move specific changes from Dev to production.
    but you can follow this process to make your workflow as it is as in Dev:
    Create a new workflow on the new list in Product.
    Create at least one step, one condition and one action in this workflow.
    1. In Dev server open your .xomal file as XML and copy the entire contents.
    2.In Production server Open your .xoml file as XML and Paste the entire contents
    3. repeat this operation for the xoml.rules file
    4.Double click the .xoml file for the new workflow to open the workflow in the Workflow Designer and click Check Workflow to verify no errors and then click Finish to ensure the workflow is saved.
    Whenever you need to make changes apply the same.
    Please Mark Answer and Vote me if it will to resolve your issue

  • Importing All the files from a folder at a time

    Hi....
    Can any body tell me how to import set of files from a folder into IDM.
    It is becoming very difficult to import the files one after other....
    Waiting for Reply....
    Thanks in advance..........

    We used an ant script to build an XML file that will contain the files. The script is configured to use the folder structure of our CVS repository.
    We'd checkout our XML module and then run the build script and import the resulting init file.
    Code to the script is below -- caveat emptor. You'll need to change the folder structure to suit your own environment.

  • How to Copy an Image File from a Folder to another Folder

    i face the problem of copying an image file from a folder to another folder by coding. i not really know which method to use so i need some reference about it. hope to get reply soon, thx :)

    Try this code. Make an object of this class and call
    copyTo method.
    import java.io.*;
    import java.net.*;
    import java.util.*;
    public class FileUtil
    extends File {
    public FileUtil(String pathname) throws
    NullPointerException {
    super(pathname);
    public void copyTo(File dest) throws Exception {
    File parent = dest.getParentFile();
    parent.mkdirs();
    FileInputStream in = new FileInputStream(this); //
    Open the source file
    FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(dest); //
    Open the destination file
    byte[] buffer = new byte[4096]; // Create an input
    buffer
    int bytes_read;
    while ( (bytes_read = in.read(buffer)) != -1) { //
    Keep reading until the end
    out.write(buffer, 0, bytes_read);
    in.close(); // Close the file
    out.close(); // Close the file
    This is poor object-oriented design. Use derivation only when you have to override methods -- this is just
    a static utility method hiding here.

  • Is it possible to pickup a specific file from a folder?

    Hi
    I am wondering whether it is possible to pick a specific file from a folder. I have a shape where I have got a filename and I need to look for it in a folder.
    Is that possible?
    And how can I achieve this? The next step is to pick the file up and transfer it to another location. So basically in pseudo code I need to ask my defined folder with a filename as parameter. Get the file and move it to another folder.
    Suggestions are most appreciated. Thanks

    Assuming you are using orchestration, you could
    create an assembly, install it in the GAC, add a reference to it in your BTS
    project, and call it from an Expression shape to resolve the receive
    location. You would only really need one static method in a class. Be sure
    to add a reference to Microsoft.BizTalk.ExplorerOM.dll.
    Example:
    using Microsoft.BizTalk.ExplorerOM;
    namespace Phil
    public class OrchestrationHelpers
    public static string ResolveReceiveLocationName(string
    inboundTransportLocation, string receivePortName)
    BtsCatalogExplorer bts = new BtsCatalogExplorer();
    bts.ConnectionString =
    "SERVER=localhost;DATABASE=BizTalkMgmtDb;Trusted_Connection=True;Network
    Library=DBMSSOCN;"
    foreach (ReceiveLocation location in
    bts.ReceivePorts[receivePortName].ReceiveLocations)
    if (location.Address == inboundTransportLocation) return location.Name;
    return null;
    In your Expression shape within your orchestration, assuming a message
    called "MyMessage" and a string variable "receiveLocationName":
    receiveLocationName =
    Phil.OrchestrationHelpers.ResolveReceiveLocationName(MyMessage(BTS.InboundTransportLocation),
    MyMessage(BTS.ReceivePortName));

  • Reading a file from a folder.

    The method below is used to read a file that is hard coded in the below method. What I would like it to do is to pick up files that are stored in a folder. The reason for this is that the file names will never be the same.
    I am unsure how to do this and would appreciate some help from you.
    Thanks in advance.
    public void fileBreakdown()
              try
                   FileReader file = new FileReader("files/myTextFile.txt");
                   BufferedReader buffer = new BufferedReader(file);
                   String textline = null;
                   ArrayList arr =  new ArrayList();

    I could not compile your code. But if you wanted to get all .txt files from a folder then you could do something like this
    class EndsWith implements FilenameFilter {
         String ext;
         public EndsWith(String ext) {
              this.ext = "." + ext;
         public boolean accept(File dir, String name) {
              return name.endsWith(ext);
         public static void main(String args[]) {
              String srcDir="C:/temp/";
              try {
                   File srcFiles = new File(srcDir);
                  FilenameFilter filteredFiles = new EndsWith("txt");
                  String sourceDir[]=srcFiles.list(filteredFiles);
                  for(int i=0;i<sourceDir.length;i++)
                       String fileName = srcDir+sourceDir;
              System.out.println(fileName);
              FileReader file = new FileReader(fileName);
              //..your code here
              }catch(IOException ioe) {
                   ioe.printStackTrace();
    NOTE: I haven't tested this code. You can give a try.

    ‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
    Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
    I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
    Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
    1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
    2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
    3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
    4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
    5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
    6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
    7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
    8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
    If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

  • Move files from one folder to another javascript?

    I am running a 3-action droplet automatically using windows task scheduler.  Here are the 3 steps:
    1.    Batch file to move files from hot folder to processing folder
    2.    Run IPP (dr brown's image processor pro) using preloaded settings to make several sizes copies of the files.
    3.    Bat file to move the files from processing folder to archive folder.
    The problem I am observing is that Step 1 works and IPP begins to run.  It only processes the first few images, and then moves on to the 3rd step where the bat file is ran to move all files from processing folder to archive folder.   The trouble is, only a few images were processes (about 10 or so), yet all of the images get moved to the archive without being processed.  Is there a way to make sure that step 2 (IPP) doesn’t begin until all files have successfully been moved from the hot folder to the processing folder?  IPP starts right away and files are still being transferred to the processing folder.
    Does anyone have a script that will move files from one folder to another? 

    I'm sure I have see a way to close down Photoshop in a Photoshop script.  I never had the need to.  It may be a simple statement like app.close(); I don't know javascript and only hack Photoshop script mostly by looking at others code.  app.close(); is a guess on my part. Let me try it. I was wrong its photoshop.quit();
    So make your MoveToArchive.jsx look something like this
    try{
       var BAT = new File(Folder.temp + "/MoveFilesToArchive.bat");
       BAT.open("w");
       BAT.writeln('Copy /Y "c:\\Process\\*.jpg" "c:\\Archive\\*.*"');
       BAT.writeln('Del "c:\Process\\*.jpg"');
       BAT.close();
       BAT.execute();   // execute the temp bat file
    }catch(e){
    alert("Bat MoveFilesToArchive  failed to execute.");
    photoshop.quit();

  • Unzip files from a folder which is updating regularly using multithreading

    Hi All,
    I have acode which unzip all the files from a folder .This code picks up all the zipped files at a time and then unzip it and write them to another folder but now my requirement is changed ,suppose the source folder where all the zipped files are present is refreshed or updated with new zipped files regularly then how can I implement in my code multithreading to get several files by threads and send it for unzipping.
    Please suggest with some example or edit my code.
    package com.myprojcet;
    import java.io.File;
    import java.io.FileInputStream;
    import java.io.FileOutputStream;
    import java.io.IOException;
    import java.io.OutputStream;
    import java.util.zip.ZipEntry;
    import java.util.zip.ZipInputStream;
    public class Main {
         * Extracts a zip file
         public void extractZipFile() {
              try {
                   String zipFileName = "C:\\soft\\test"; //Source folder for zipped files
                   //Create input and output streams
                   File SourceDir = new File(zipFileName);
                   File[] zipFiles = SourceDir.listFiles();
                   ZipInputStream inStream = null;
                   OutputStream outStream = null;
                   ZipEntry entry;
                   byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
                   int nrBytesRead;
                   //Get next zip entry and start reading data
              for(int i=0; i < zipFiles.length; i++) {
                   inStream= new ZipInputStream(new FileInputStream(zipFiles));
                   while((entry = inStream.getNextEntry()) != null) {
                        outStream=new FileOutputStream("C:\\soft\\test2\\"+entry.toString()); //destination folder for unzipped file
                        while ((nrBytesRead = inStream.read(buffer)) > 0) {     
                             outStream.write(buffer, 0, nrBytesRead);
                   //Finish off by closing the streams
                   outStream.close();
                   inStream.close();
              } catch (IOException ex) {
                   ex.printStackTrace();
         * @param args the command line arguments
         public static void main(String[] args) {
              new Main().extractZipFile();
    Thanks

    But my question is that if in a source folder we have several files which are in zipped format and the folder is getting updated every min (say) with new zipped files (which are dumped from some outside environment).I need to unzip all the files present in the folder ,if new one comes there then also check for the new zipped file and unzip it.You don't need to keep re-stating that.
    I had written a code for unzipping a file from a folder (thinking the folder is not updated everytime).Or that.
    Now I am thinking of using threads because if I create suppose 5 threads and every threads poll the source folder and pick up a zip file ,send it for unzipping it and again poll the source folder for any new entries?Or that.
    If using the threads here hits performace then what should I use?Err, what you presently have?
    Provide me any sample code or link that would be more useful.You've already written it.

  • Cannot retrieve files from Time Machine.

    I cannot retrieve files from Time Machine. I can enter it, but the arrows don't seem to function and when I click on a date/time, nothing happens.

    I don't know what you mean by "arrows". After Entering TM, put your pointer over one of the coloured (usually purple) dated bars at the right of the screen. That will bring (usually the desktop) for that date to the front. Navigate in the usual way to find the old file, select it, and press the big Restore button on the bottom left of your screen. As I remember it, a copy of that file will appear beside the current original with something like "Restored" added to is title. When you quit TM (Cancel) that restored file should appear beside its current version. (Or, if it's host folder has been deleted, smewhere else but I can't remember where - search for it.)

  • How can I move a Pages file from a folder to another one?

    I Have done the upgrade to mac os Yosemite but now i'm Not able to move a file from a folder to another one Inside iCloud
    now it's impossible to organize MY archive

    Thankyou Winston, you guess right. What i don't understand is why with the older version of mac os (10.9) i can organize my document into icloud folders using the Pages app window. But now with the new version i'm no longer able to do that. Using ipad in the same window there is no problem, but in mac os it doesn't work. 

  • How to get latest added file from a folder using apple script

    Hi..
    I am trying to get a latest added file from a folder..and for this i have below script
    tell application "Finder"
        set latestFile to item 1 of (sort (get files of (path to downloads folder)) by creation date) as alias
        set fileName to latestFile's name
    end tell
    By using this i am not able to get latest file because for some files the creation date is some older date so is there any way to get latest file based on "Date Added" column of a folder.

    If you don't mind using GUI Scripting (you must enable access for assistive devices in the Accessibility System Preference pane), the following script should give you a reference to the last item added to any folder. Admittedly not the most elegant solution, but it works, at least under OS X 10.8.2.
    set theFolder to choose folder
    tell application "Finder"
        activate
        set theFolderWindow to container window of theFolder
        set alreadyOpen to exists theFolderWindow
        tell theFolderWindow
            open
            set theInitialView to current view
            set current view to icon view
        end tell
    end tell
    tell application "System Events" to tell process "Finder"
        -- Arrange by None:
        set theInitialArrangement to name of menu item 1 of menu 1 of menu item "Arrange By" of menu 1 of menu bar item "View" of menu bar 1 whose value of attribute "AXMenuItemMarkChar" is "✓"
        keystroke "0" using {control down, command down}
        -- Sort by Date Added:
        set theInitialSortingOrder to name of menu item 1 of menu 1 of menu item "Sort By" of menu 1 of menu bar item "View" of menu bar 1 whose value of attribute "AXMenuItemMarkChar" is "✓"
        keystroke "4" using {control down, option down, command down}
        -- Get the name of the last item:
        set theItemName to name of image 1 of UI element 1 of last scroll area of splitter group 1 of (window 1 whose subrole is "AXStandardWindow")
        -- Restore the initial settings:
        click menu item theInitialSortingOrder of menu 1 of menu item "Sort By" of menu 1 of menu bar item "View" of menu bar 1
        click menu item theInitialArrangement of menu 1 of menu item "Arrange By" of menu 1 of menu bar item "View" of menu bar 1
    end tell
    tell application "Finder"
        set current view of theFolderWindow to theInitialView -- restore the initial view
        if not alreadyOpen then close theFolderWindow
        set theLastItem to item theItemName of theFolder
    end tell
    theLastItem
