ABAP to select all AL11 files based on creation date

Hi,
I want to create an ABAP that can select all the files in all the subdirectory folders for a given SAP Directory. The files I want to retrieve will be based on the creation date, i.e. when the file was written to the server, it must be greater than 1 hour and less than 3 hours. The problem I have is, I don't know of any table that stores this type of information. Can any one hepl?
Thanks, D

Hi,
here's a sample-prg.:
REPORT zzzz66 .
TABLES epsf.

PARAMETERS file LIKE epsf-epsfilnam DEFAULT 'file001.dat'.
DATA mtime TYPE p DECIMALS 0.
DATA time(10).
DATA date LIKE sy-datum.
CALL FUNCTION 'EPS_GET_FILE_ATTRIBUTES'
     EXPORTING
          file_name              = file

Relocating files based on creation date

Hello,
I have a folder full of hundreds of Video clips. I am interested in a script that will
1. look at the files sequentially
2. For each file read the creation date
3. If a Folder with that creation date does not exist, create a folder with that creation date (YYYY-MM-DD)
4. Move the file to the folder with the file's creation date
I've never used automator. Is this easy to do using that program?
The reason I want to do this is to avoid having to manually re-organize the videos by date, if I were to import the contents of the existing folder of video clips into iMovie.
Appreciate any input you can provide.
Thanks.

Automator is designed to take small, pre-written routines (actions) and string them together into a workflow. There isn't a default action to do something like this, but the Run AppleScript action can be used. Actually, an AppleScript would probably be the way to go, but I just happened to have an Automator action lying around for some reason.
Tested workflow:
1) *Ask for FInder Items* {Type: Folders}
2) *Get Folder Contents* (be careful with getting subfolders - this action will go into packages)
3) *Run AppleScript:*

Selecting all the files in a directory

How would i select all the files in a directory, write the info of the files into a new file, and after the end of each file, make a New Line?

hi zymus,
check this code u will get the solution for ur problem..
import java.io.*;
public class files {
public static void main(String[] args) {
File f = new File("c://");// specify ur directory name here

Can ditto select files based on modification date?

Hi. I'm trying to use ditto to make backups. I would like to have it select only files modified after a certain date. Is there a way to do this?
I noticed the bom (bill of materials) option... can that be used for this purpose somehow? Not quite sure how best to create a BOM that includes only files based on modification date.
Any suggestions? Thanks
Eric

ditto doesn't provide a way to select only files modified after a certain date -- but find does; see the "-newer" and "-newerXY" options. Using find, you can generate a BOM file listing files that have been modified after a certain date.
Then you can pass that BOM file to ditto.

Metagen is skipped sometimes complaining because all output files are up-to-date with respect to the input files

Hi,
In one of my dll (VS2010), the process Skipping target "MetaGen" because all output files are up-to-date with respect to the input files.
it is at random. I have checked the time stamps of the dll and metagen.write.1.tlog both having the time stamp on the failed build. But all files in release folder did not have the same time. They are one hour earlier than the dll
and the metagen.write.1.tlog.
On the good build it said the input file is is newer than output file ".\Release\\metagen.write.1.tlog" and allfiles in the release folder have same time stamp.
Any clue to solve this ?

How to List Sales Orders based on Creation Date and Delivery Priority

Dear all,
How can we list Sales Orders based on creation date and delivery priority.
I tried using vl10a transaction code, but there we can see sales order based on delivery date.
we need to list all sales order based on delivery priority and sales order creation date.
can any one of you tell me which standard report gives such kind of report. Your suggestions will be highly appreciated.
Thank you
Raghu Ram

Hi Raghu,
There is no st report available as per your req.
Using SQVI, you develope one report that is list of sales orders based on your req.
SQVI is used to convert a Quick View into a query.
Quick Viewer:
The Quick Viewer allows you to define reports without having to program yourself. The Quick
Viewer is especially useful for new users and occasional use.
Quick Viewer is a tool for generating reports. SAP Query offers the user a whole range of options for defining reports. SAP Query also supports different kinds of reports such as basic lists, statistics, and ranked lists. Quick Viewer, on the other hand, is a tool that allows even relatively inexperienced users to create basic lists.
Quick View definitions are user-dependent. You can transfer a Quick View into SAP Query in order to make reports, for example, accessible to additional users, or to use the other functions available in SAP Query.
The following is a comparison of Quick Views and queries:
Quick Views possess the same functional attributes as queries. However, only basic lists may be defined with Quick Views.
In contrast to queries, no user group assignment is necessary with Quick Views. Each user has his/her own personal list of Quick Views. Quick Views cannot be exchanged between users. Quick Views may, however, be converted to queries and then be made available to other users in a specific user group.
Info Sets are not required for Quick View definition. Whenever you define a Quick View, you can specify its data source explicitly. Tables, database views, table joins, logical databases, and even Info Sets, can all serve as data sources for a Quick View. You can only use additional tables and additional fields if you use an Info Set as a data source.
The Quick Viewer uses various controls. Certain hardware and software requirements must also be fulfilled before you can use the Quick Viewer.
To define a Quick View, you select certain fields according to your data source that determine the structure of your report. The report can be executed in basis mode with standard layout or may be edited using drag and drop and the other toolbox functions available in WYSIWYG mode.
Reports created using the Quick Viewer may also be passed to external programs (Excel, for example).
Call the Quick Viewer using System -> Services -> Quick Viewer (or transaction SQVI).
Enter the name of the Quick View. Quick View names can contain a maximum of 14 characters.
Choose Create.
Enter a title for the Quick View and remarks, if you think they are relevant.
If you do not want to base your list on a table, use the possible entries pushbutton in the Data source field to select another data source. You can choose logical databases or Info Sets. In addition, you may also create table joins. For further information, see Selecting a Data Source.
Choose Basis mode if you want to create the list directly with no list design. Choose Layout mode if you want to define the layout of your list yourself.
SQVI Table Quick viewer Used to created quick client dependent reports
Probably the easiest and most flexible way to do this is thru one of the ABAP query transactions.
Transaction SQVI can do this and it has a very good help function that explains how it works... the drawback is that it is only for one user.
You can play around with it and see if it meets your needs...
The query results will come back in an ALV Grid or Excel... you can select what fields are returned, and have a selection screen to enter the search criteria.
You can get the report by joining the tables VBAK and VBAP.
If you have any queries, i will forward screen shots to your id.
Reward points pls.

Govind.

How to store multiple counts based on creation date

Hi,
I want to retrieve the count of number of risk for each date and render it on line graph. I am retrieving data from sharepoint list where the number of risk counts increase with its creation and decreases after it is closure which maintained in another
column. Like if a risk is created on 02/02/2015 and closes on 03/03/2015 and an another risk is created on 17/02/2015 and closes on 14/03/2015. Then the count of the risk from 02/02/2015 to 16/02/2015 is 1 and from 17/02/2015 to 03/03/2015 is 2 and
then again till 14/03/2015 is 1. I want to retrieve the count based on the dates rendered dynamically on X-axis that is from current date back to past 24 days. I tried to create two datasets with one storing the risks after being queried based on creation
date and closure date and retrieving the count from Graph Y values but it is returning me count 0.
Please help.
Thanks in advance.

File change its creation date

Mac OS 9 why my file change its creation date while copying now I have creation date year of 2040

Hi, mietko -
Not sure what might be causing that date change. As far as I know, the creation and mod dates are not in any resource fork for a file, so should be retained accurately when copied from one platform to any other.
If you altered the file after copying it (sometimes just by opening and closing it), then a new mod date matching the date on the server could easily have been set.
If you need to have the file have the correct creation date, you can probably use a utility such as FileBuddy to fix it.
However, I don't know what might be causing the problem. Is this happening to only one particular file? ...or does it affect any file you copy in the same manner?

SSIS package to order all the CSV files based on their date of creation/modification mentioned in a filename and load the least recent file in oracle Destination

HI,
I need a help for creating SSIS package which has flat file source (specifically , delimited csv files) which are placed in a shared folder
having file names as File_1_2015-04-30 08:54:13.900.csv, File_2_2015-04-30 07:54:13.900.csv.
So, I wanted to use foreach loop to find out the oldest file amongst that(through script task) and need to transform that file in Oracle Destination. After that, I want to archive that file and need to continue this action uptil the most recent file gets
loaded in destination.
So, Could you guys please guide me?
Thanks in advance

I'd say you need two loops, one to cycle through all the files and collect their names. Then sort them based on your criterion
Perhaps you can start by seeing http://www.sqlis.com/sqlis/post/Looping-over-files-with-the-Foreach-Loop.aspx
Collect the file names into a Recodset Destination, then shred it http://www.sqlis.com/sqlis/post/Shredding-a-Recordset.aspx
perhaps you need an outer loop to iterate over each file to compare the files for dates.
Do each piece and post here where you needed to stop.

What's the easiest way to select all my files from all the folders on a hard drive and place into one folder?

Hi there,
I have about 30,000 images all in hundreds of folders. I'm wondering what the easiest way to get them all into one folder so I can select and convert them all from .psd, .tiff, etc all to jpg. The reason I'm doing this is because the folder structure is such a mess, that I'm just going to import them all into aperture to sort everything. But the .tiffs and .psds are 100 mb each so I want to scale them to jpgs that are only 4 or 5 mb before I even think about importing them into aperture.
I tried doing a search for "kind is image" and it shows them all but a ton of them are renamed the same thing so when I try to select all and move into one folder it tells me I can skip that one or stop copying.
Any thoughts or ideas on this?
Thanks,
Caleb

Hi russelldav,
one note on your data handling:
When each of the 50 participants send the same 60 "words" you don't need 3000 global variables to store them!
You can reorganize those data into a cluster for each participant, and using an array of cluster to keep all the data in one "block".
You can initialize this array at the start of the program for the max number of participants, no need to (dynamically) add or delete elements from this array...
Edited:
When all "words" have the same representation (I16 ?) you can make a 2D array instead of an array of cluster...

Generating structured XML file based on relational data base

Hi,
I need to use XML DB to generate a structured XML file based on the relational oracle database. I start by using Oracle default table, emp,
Here is EMP data,
EMPNO ENAME DEPNO SAL
123.00 E1 20.00 1,000.00
124.00 E2 20.00 2,000.00
125.00 E3 20.00 2,000.00
126.00 E4 30.00 3,000.00
127.00 E5 30.00 3,000.00
128.00 E6 30.00 4,000.00
129.00 E7 40.00 7,000.00
I used this SQL statement to generate an XML output,
select XMLElement ("Department",
XMLAttributes(deptno as "DEPARTMENTNO"),
XMLElement("EmployeeName", ename),
XMLElement("Salary", sal)
) "Result"
from
emp
where
deptno=20
The result was
<Department DEPARTMENTNO="20">
<EmployeeName>E1</EmployeeName>
<Salary>1000</Salary>
</Department>
<Department DEPARTMENTNO="20">
<EmployeeName>E2</EmployeeName>
<Salary>2000</Salary>
</Department>
<Department DEPARTMENTNO="20">
<EmployeeName>E3</EmployeeName>
<Salary>2000</Salary>
</Department>
but I need this structure instead,
<Department DEPARTMENTNO="20">
<EmployeeName>E1</EmployeeName>
<Salary>1000</Salary>
<EmployeeName>E2</EmployeeName>
<Salary>2000</Salary>
<EmployeeName>E3</EmployeeName>
<Salary>2000</Salary>
</Department>
Could you guide me how I can generate this kind of structure like master-detail structure and which document you recommend to obtain this point.
Thanks,
Shiva

Hi,
If you want to write an xml into file, I think you should use PL/SQL.
Is it even possible to spool output into file without the query itself?
doen't show me a proper xml fileTo get well-formed xml, you also have to make a root element.
If you want <?xml version="1.0"?> also then use xmlroot(), but I haven't figure out
how to specify the encoding.

All My Files not cataloging by date opened

I use the All My Files system for tracking my workflow, and I see in Yosemite that it does not catalog my work (files) by date opened reliably; I have opened many files today, and yet this afternoon it shows that I have only opened five files today. This was not the case in Mavericks. Anyone else experience this?

When viewing files in All My Files view, date last opened is not updating properly ever since Yosemite installed. In Mt. Lion did not occur. Since the Yosemite install - we've tried opening many different pages & preview files, same thing occurs. I've had 4 appointments at Genius Bar about this and no one has figured out a fix. Genius Bar already re-installed Yosemite and bug still there. Last thing Genius Bar was going to do today was a Manual Migration of data (see my repair history) - but when I came to check in, Genius Bar person found your post dated 2 days ago with identical situation.

Use files based on a date/time stamp in order

I have a PL/SQL procedure that is using BFILE to pick-up and read a file. The file will have the same starting characters for every file followed by a date/time stamp: AAAA_09232009
I need my procedure to use the file with the oldest date first and then rename the file after the procedure has run through it. Can anyone assist me in this? Below is the beginning of the procedure --Thanx in Advance:
create or replace PROCEDURE XML_READ_FILE
as
v_bfile BFILE := BFILENAME('XML_DIR', 'AAAA_09232009.xml');
v_clob CLOB;
BEGIN
DBMS_LOB.createtemporary(v_clob, TRUE);
DBMS_LOB.OPEN(v_bfile, DBMS_LOB.lob_readonly);
DBMS_LOB.loadfromfile(v_clob, v_bfile, DBMS_LOB.lobmaxsize);

Automator- create file names with creation date and time

I have photo files that I want to rename with a base name, plus a sequential number, based on the creation date (and ideally time). It appears that Automator does not honor the time of the source file when date stamping a new set of files. If there is anyway to use date + time so I can recreate a date_timestamp in addition to a base filename, that would be great.

Hi Nikhil_BI_Dev,
According to your description, you find your report runs properly in BIDS but shows blank after deploying onto report server. Right?
In this scenario, it might be the issue on retrieving data in SQL 2005. Here is a thread with same issue, please refer to the link below:
