AD date stamp OR File date stamp?

Hi,
Im in the process of evalutating software to archive files to cheaper storage based on size and date stamp.
Problem, we unfortunately migrated from eDir to AD 2.5 years ago and products used thus far use the AD date stamp from when we migrated which is not useful.
My question is, does storage manager archive base on the date stamp of the file?
I know we have files that havn't been modified for more than 10 years.
Is there a way around this?
Thanks
Albert

Not using anything at the moment.....basically looking fo something that will do the job.
Will look at dynamic files serveices.
thanks :-)

How are you archiving files? Are you using a grooming rule? If so,
you can specify a filter based on create/modify/access time. This may
help for archiving files to the vault via grooming. However, to be
honest if you're wanting to archive files to cheaper storage then a
better option is Novell Dynamic File Services for Windows.
https://www.novell.com/products/dynamic-file-services/
This gives you the option of moving files to cheaper storage but still
being accessible "online" by your users, or truly archiving them to
cheaper storage (or even the cloud) and only archive managers have
access to files. It's been a while since I last looked at NDFS but I
believe you can configure policies there as well based on
create/modify/access time.

Data source doesn't show porper data while flat file data loading

Hi Experts,
I am trying to load data from flat file for info object 0GL_ACCOUNT. I have created an application component and data source.
My question is after loading text data in the corresponding data source, it shows only few characters of the actual data.
For Ex. in my original data i have G/L account name "Comp Hardware Purchase" but after loading into the data source it shows only "Comp Hardwa".
I want to show the whole name "Comp Hardware Purchase ". I know there is some text length problem but i couldn't find it. What steps i need to follow?
Please help.
Full points will be given to the useful answers ****
Thanks and Regards,
Niranjan Chechani

HI Niranjan,
Go to your data source and check whether the field and infoobject are having the same lenght. If the infoobject lenght is less than your field lenght wihc is coming from Flat file then such issue occur.
Search for your flatfile datasource and and doubel clik on the datasource and check the fileds tabs, there you will have the mapping or you can also check your Transfer or Update rules of the target.

Data Load Rule file -Date conversion

Hi,While working on a Dataload rule file,I was facing this problem.I'm getting date in the format "m(m)/d(d)/yyyy hh:mm:ss". Is there a way to change this to "mm/yy" ??(There won't be anyproblem if I get mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss style. but unfortunately not.)

Can you run the file through a "conversion process" prior to loading?We do similiar thing here. We get a feed from Hyperion Enterprise and run it through a home grown conversion utility written in Windows Script before we load into Essbase.It reads in the file line by line and then writes out a new file properly formatted.

If xmp creation date precedes raw file date Bridge/ACR does not recognize

I decided to start a new thread with this revelation from a prior discussion, because of its importance.
I have several iPad apps that apply metadata to raw images captured in the field using the camera connection kit. These apps have various export mechanisms, with a typical capability to bundle up raw images from the Photos app space with xmp files from the metadata editor app's space, and deliver them via ftp or however. I have seen failures where the creation date of the image file was made equal to the creation date of the xmp, and subsequent to export Bridge would not recognize the xmp file as valid edits to the raw file, even though they both had the same file name ahead of the extension. Up to now I never understood the cause of the failure. Opening the xmp file in a text editor and saving it out with a later creation date "fixed" the problem.
Adobe either needs to change this behavior (IMO the right solution, forget about checking creation dates) or at least publish the dependency. I believe there are a lot of programmers out there that had no idea that the creation date could invalidate the coupling between the raw file and the xmp file.

Ok, made some tests.
First: there is nothing interesting in /sys/class/drm. Only one file called version... which, as you might guess, contains the version info for DRM.
Secondly: tested this Phantom Output thing. Used LVDS-1, LVDS-0, LVDS... nothing.
I even tried to add i915 and intel_agp modules to the initramfs... nothing changed.
However, I looked a bit more into dmesg and found another interesting thing:
[ 2.038447] Linux agpgart interface v0.103
[ 2.041261] input: Video Bus as /devices/LNXSYSTM:00/device:00/PNP0A08:00/LNXVIDEO:01/input/input8

[ 2.060942] agpgart-intel: probe of 0000:00:00.0 failed with error -22
So it seems there is a problem with the AGP module not correctly detecting the card in the first place
Edit: also tested it with the internal screen connected, still the same problem.

Convert date time to file date time

Hi,
I have standard delphi function which conver datetime to filedatetime here is the description
function DateTimeToFileDate(DateTime: TDateTime): Integer;
Description
Use DateTimeToFileDate to convert a TDateTime value, which is the representation of date-and-time values used by the VCL, to a DOS date-and-time value.
For example, use DateTimeToFileDate to convert a TDateTime value to a
format that can be used as the Age parameter of FileSetDate. You may
also need to use DateTimeToFileDate to convert a TDateTime so that it
is compatible with the Time field of the TSearchRec record used by the FindFirst
and FindNext functions.
Lo returns the low-order Byte of the argument X as an unsigned value. X is an expression of type Integer.
Use Hi to obtain the high-order byte of an expression of type Word or Integer.
Note: Hi treats Integer as a 16-bit value, even if it is 32-bit.
This is the delphi code that convert the date
year=2003
month=5
day=28
sec=57
min=45
hr=13
msec=107
LongRec(Result).Lo := (Sec shr 1) or (Min shl 5) or (Hour shl 11);
LongRec(Result).Hi := Day or (Month shl 5) or ((Year - 1980) shl 9);
output Result is --> 784100796
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks.

You use the java.util.GregorianCalendar to extract month, day, etc from a date.
Then you use the shift operator ('<<') to construct the number.

Help adding current Date and Time stamp to file name

I need help with my script adding current Date and Time stamp to file name.

*.eml Time Stamp - Select File in Windows Explorer Changes the Modified Date

The Windows Live Mail *.eml files time stamp is getting changed to the current date when the file is selected in the Windows Explorer! I save backup copies of important E-mails to folders on the Hard Drive and then synchronize them with the same folders on other LAN Hard Drives for backup archives. When these E-mail files are selected or opened from the Windows Explorer in the Windows 7 OPS the Modified Date Time Stamp is changed to the current date automatically! This action creates a real problem when doing later synchronizations of all of the folders! The date will not be the original date of the E-mail and the original file will be over copied with the file with the newest date stamp. I stopped Indexing on the *.eml files and that stopped the time stamp change when overcopy synchronization, but if the file is selected during a viewing in Windows Explorer then the Time Stamp is updated to the current date again! A solution to this problem would be greatly appreciated if anybody knows of one. Thanks - - - Shorto

The Date and Timestamp changing issue in Windows 7 has a two part fix!
1. Disable the Indexing of the *.eml file type in the Indexing Options located by Clicking on "Control Panel" - "Indexing Options" - Advanced Button - File Types Tab - scroll down to the .eml file type and uncheck the Box then click OK to finish, so
that the Email type of files won't be Indexed.
2. Delete the Registry Entry listed below, be sure to Export and Save the original Key so it could be Restored if something goes wrong! \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\PropertySystem\PropertyHandlers
and Delete the .eml entry
That should fix the problem with the changing Date/Timestamp of Email Files. For more information read CarlS's WindowsSeven Fourm thread where I also have more input:
http://www.sevenforums.com/browsers-mail/35334-eml-files-timestamps-updated-constantly.html
This should give you a better understanding on the problem and the Fix. - - - Shorto

Time stamp data write to file problem

Hello!
I'm just learning LabView, and have arrived at the stage of writing time-stamped data to text files.
This seems clear enough, however when I examine the file written to disk, I find 4 unexpected characters: 3 spaces and one seemingly random number or punctuation mark, preceding every line!
An example is:
   .2005-07-15 10:55:40.0 the value is 0.0000 cm
   .2005-07-15 10:55:40.5 the value is 1.0000 cm
The four characters "   ." are those whose origin I can't understand. I can't seem to get rid of them.
They seem to change with the input string, but not in a manner I can predict or understand.
Any hints or explanations would be greatly appreciated, as I'm at wit's end after 1/2 day of puzzling over this little problem!

time stamp data write VIs.zip ‏24 KB

Alex,
You found one of the subtle little things that can be frustrating to old-timers and newcomers alike. I did not recognize it until I read the help file (and I have been using LV since version 1.2).
First, the three characters before the commas are nulls (\00).
The reason they are there is in the help file for the Write File.vi. By wiring an array to the data input, you caused the VI to write a header telling what data format was used.
I modified your VI to simply concatenate the strings and then write a simple string to the file. I think this may be what you were after.

Data file time stamp on Logical Standby

Dear All,
My Logical Standby Database that is Oracle 10gR2 on Wondows 2003 Server is fully synced with the production database.
If i query number of records on Logical Standby they are the same as on production.
And when i query applied_time from dba_logstby_progress view, there is hardly a difference of second since I have configured real time apply.
BUT the date and time stamp of my data files and index files on Logical Standby is more than 12 days old.
I am confused, why this its like this. Is there any workout to fix that? Is it normal? or what?
Kindly help.
Regards, Imran

Correcting the date stamp with files converted with mpgstreamclip.

I have converted some files using streamclip but it changes the date of the file to the date of the conversion. When I try importing them into imovie they are sorted incorrectly. The files were recorded in 07 but now have the date stamp of today. Can anyone help me solve this I am new to the mac and converting footage.

It seems that I have solved my own problem while searching for answers.
First I selected the clip with the incorrect date
Next select File and select Adjust clip date and time.
Hope this helps someone.

NI unzip changes file date and time stamp

A coworker this morning asked me about the NI-Unzip VI.
It turns out that when the NI unzip VI unzips a file it changes the file dates to the date the file was unzipped.
He also noted that NI-Unzip seems to be calling the Windows touch.exe to do this.
The diagram for NI unzip is locked and password protected so his attemp to change this action blocked.
Does anyone know a way around this? Either to make the NI Unzip stop changing the file date or the passwork to teh unzip vi?
Message Edited by RTSLVU on 03-22-2010 08:01 AM

Hi,
I don't think NI will give you a password for it's protected functions...
So you can:
- use "System Exec" with a command line version of a ZIP tool of your choice to unzip files
- make your own "Unzip" VI with calls to a "unzip"-DLL of your choice
Choose the one that is easier to implement for you

Alternate data stream (ADS) removal does not update file time stamp.

Hello,
I am using standard CL program stream.exe to operate ads on file.
If I add ADS to file, file data\time will be changed.
F:\>dir
07/23/2014 06:43 PM            32,768 test.txt
F:\>stream cr test.txt:0 important_info
SUCCESSFUL: tf1.txt:0 is created.
RC = 0
F:\>dir
07/30/2014 07:11 PM            32,768 tf1.txt
If I remove ADS from file, file data\time will be unchanged.
F:\>dir
07/30/2014 07:11 PM            32,768 tf1.txt
F:\>stream de tf1.txt:0
SUCCESSFUL: tf1.txt:0 is deleted.
RC = 0
F:\>dir
07/30/2014 07:11 PM            32,768 tf1.txt
Is it a normal behavior? I suspect a defect in stream.exe.

Hi,
This depends on that if the stream.exe contains the related code like SetFileTime when play the deleting action.
SetFileTime function
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms724933(v=vs.85).aspx
So we may need your resource code about de of stream.exe to determine the issue.

Exporting data to excel with time stamp

We have written an express VI code recording voltage. The code works, and the data is recorded, but the data is transferred to an excel file without the time stamp. In the excel file we have the data down column A, but there is no time at which any of the data was recorded. Is there a way we can get the time recorded in excel also? Thanks for the help.

I maybe wrong but I believe that the timestamp data associated with the data that is logged will be in the TDMS file as properties of those channels. Are you sure the time data isn't logged as a property?

Reader enabled PDF stamp comment with date?

Hi All,
Working with Adobe Reader 9.0.0.
I have a reader extended PDF file and have used the Dynamic stamp tool to mark up as approved.
The approved stamp won't seem to display the date and time that it was used, (as it does so well in acrobat X Pro).
I can right click the Approved stamp and then properties to see the date/time, but the displayed stamp just says APPROVED (By (Name*) at (BLANK*))
Anybody know of any settings that will enable the display of the date and time on an APPROVED stamp within reader 9.0.0?
Thanks in advance.
Knocker.

I too would like to know how this stamp tool dating works. I'm trying to set up a custom stamp, and can't figure out the correct Javascript used to automatically update each new day. Thanks!

Time stamp from dynamic data

I trying to write dynamic data to a file using Express VI (Write LabView Measurement file). The dynamic data comes straight from a simulated Signal Express VI. The signal part of the dynamic data is written correctly but the time stamp is what appears to be float counting the seconds since the Write LabView Measurement file Express VI was started.
I have configured the Simulate Signal VI Time stamp to absolute data and time option.
This should be dead simple but it just do not work!
Any suggestion to what I might do wrong?
I do expect that the time stamp would be written as two columns one for date and one for time.
Thanks,
Soren T. Jensen

The timestamp is written in the header of the file. The time and date entered there is the time and date that you are looking for. The timestamp written next to each piece of data is indead a relative value. It is the delta from the timestamp in the header to the time that datum was collected (created). The reason for this is that timestamps are quite large in bytes, especially if you break out the time and date in strings. Just stamping the header and providing the offsets is much more efficient.
If you choose to not provide a header, I think that the timestamp will be lost entirely. I think that this is probably wrong, but I am uunsure what should be done to correct it.
Hope that this helps,
