Allowable Characters in the file names within Oracle iFS

What characters are allowable in file names within Oracle iFS?
Are slashes (/ \) possible?
Thanks,
Sai Mummalaneni.

Be carefull with file and directory names in iFS. You might be able to create folders and add document to it through the web interface that the windows explorer interface might not be able to interpret. Like a directory named '.'.

  • Special Characters in the file name in Data Driven Subscription via File Share

    Hi,
    I am trying to create a Data Driven Subscription with option to delivery as  windows file share in SQL server 2005. I need to save the report as a pdf with the following file name  '[City] City_Name', but it errors out and it is because of the
    Square Brackets. Is there any way i can save the file using the Square brackets as i mentioned above.
    I am using a query to get the filename and filepath. It works fine as long as i do not have [], but i need to save the file as i mentioned along with the Square Brackets.
    Please help.

    Hello,
    I can reproduce the issue on my test environment: When I create a Data Driven Subscription and specify the report name by get from a subscription delivery table, and the value of the "report name" column contains square brackets. The subscription failed
    with following error in the error log:
    ERROR: Error occurred processing subscription ab9523a6-0256-4607-b818-a7666204d018:
    The file name is not valid. Avoid using special characters such as /\?*:<>|+,[]"& in the file name.

    file name., DeliveryExtension: Report Server FileShare, Report: Report6, Attempt 0
    It seems that the behavior is by design. please avoid using square brackets as file name. Maybe you can try to use parentheses () instead.

  • How do I remove spaces and special characters from the file name during rendering?

    I understand that I can set LR_renamingTokensOn to true, but I would like to replace all spaces in the file name with an underscore and remove characters not in the range A-Z and 0-9. What's the easiest way to achieve this?

    local photo = catalog:getTargetPhoto()
    local sesn = LrExportSession {
        photosToExport = { photo },
        exportSettings = {
            -- ... (determine from export preset) - whatev you want, just be sure you set export directory: LR_export_destinationPathPrefix
            LR_tokens = "{{custom_token}}",
            LR_tokenCustomString = LrPathUtils.removeExtension( photo:getFormattedMetadata( 'fileName' ) ):gsub( "[ %c]", "" ) -- remove spaces and control characters

  • Allow to have the file name with extension in contacts thumbnails

    When I print a contact sheet from the Print module, I would like to have the option to have under each thumbnail the file name complete with the extension; e.g. "Sample.jpg". Right now I can only have the file name, e.g. "Sample".

    I think you are talking about unzipping or extracting the contents
    of the Zip file. Use the API in 'java.util.zip'
    For code refer to
    http://www.javaalmanac.com
    There you would find the code!!

  • The File name property is not valid. The file name is a device or contains invalid characters

    I have an SSIS task that has run successfully for years. They just moved the dtsx to a new server and now it is failing. 
    Issue:
    The task has a data flow that writes a raw file destination. It then has a subsequent data flow that reads the raw file destination. 
    The path and name of the raw file is passed to each of the data flows via the same variable. 
    The raw file resides in a folder on the server in the same path that the dtsx resides in. 
    The task fails with the "The File name property is not valid. The file name is a device or contains invalid characters" error when trying to access the raw file.
    What we have done to troubleshoot:
    1. I ran the task successfully on my local machine so it is definitely a server issue.
    2. The first thing we were seeing was that it failed trying to write to the raw file. The task is set to "Create Always". 
    3. We saw that the dba's copied over the entire directory structure from the old server which included a previously created raw file, so we deleted the raw file.
    4. We reran the task and it successfully wrote a new raw file but then failed on reading the raw file with the same error as above.
    5. We reran the task AGAIN and this time it failed trying to write the raw file throwing the same error as above.
    6. The dba looked at the directory and the account that performs the task has full control.
    7. The dba looked at the raw file that was created and verified that the account that performs the task has full control of the file and that it is the owner of the file.
    Summary:
    The task fails when trying to access the file EXCEPT when the file does not exist. In that situation it can write the file but subsequently fails in accessing it again.

    Hi Whalensdad,
    Based on my research, the issue can be caused by the following reasons:
    There are some invalid characters in the File name at package runtime. In this scenario, just as Russ said, could you please post the value that is in the File name variable? Also use a Script Task with Messagebox.show to show the variable values at runtime.
    May be it changes to others at run time.
    The account runs the package not having access to all the folders in the path. Since you are moving the dtsx file from one server to the current server, do you also move the raw file to the same folder in the current server? Does the user runs the package
    have access to all the folders in the path? To solve this, please ensure that the user has access to all folders and the raw file in the path on the current server.

    Please see the response above. I can't use a message box on a server so I logged the values to the database. The resource account has full control to the folder. I haven't been able to get the DBA to check the SQL Agents permissions, but I was always under
    the impression that if you use "Run As" on the task, it will not use the SQL Agent but the account you identify it to "Run As". The "Run As" account has full control on the folder and file.

  • How to use javascript to "save as" using form data in the file name

    I want to be able to use a button to "save as" and have it automatically pick up and use certain data from the fields in the file name. without having to manually type in the file name.
    Name: john doe
    Date: 1-25-13
    file name would be  (john doe 1-25-13)

    You will need two parts for this. A folder level script (which you place in a .js file under the JavaScripts folder of Acrobat), and a script embedded in the file itself (probably attached to a button).
    The folder-level script will look like this:
    var mySaveAs = app.trustedFunction( function(oDoc,cPath) {
        app.beginPriv();
        try {
            oDoc.saveAs(cPath);
        } catch(e){
            app.alert("Error During Save");
        app.endPriv();
    The doc-level script can look something like this (of course, you might need to adjust the names of the fields used):
    var filePath = this.path.replace(this.documentFileName, "");
    var newFileName = this.getField("name").valueAsString + " " + this.getField("date").valueAsString + ".pdf";
    mySaveAs(this, filePath+newFileName);
    You should be aware that several characters are not allowed in the file name, including comma's, forward- and back-slashes, line-breaks and excalmation marks, so if you try to use them the script would fail. It is possible to create a more advanced version of this script that will automatically remove such characters from the file-name, or alert the user if they used them.

  • Destination file characters too long (File names) , while copying from one external to another

    I have a external my book fat32 formated and a new mybook ntfs formated external as well.  Now when I copy my files from the fat32 to the ntfs external all files copy fine but some give that destination location file characters are too long, meaning that the file names are too long.  Now I could change the file names but that would conflict with programs that need that file name.  I am using vista ultimate and would like to copy all the files over from the fat32 to ntfs so I can reformat the fat32 to ntfs.  The files got on the ntfs from a simple drag and drop from my IDE NTFS internal hard drive.
    I hope you guys to tell me what to do.
    Thank you :)

    Here's the fix....for error message "your file name is too long to be copied, deleted, renamed, moved" :
    1.   problem is this: the "file name" has a limit on number of characters.....the sum of characters really includes the entire path name; you gotta shorten it first (i.e, if the total number of characters in the file name + Path name are over the
    limit, the error appears).  The deeper your file folder sub levels are, the more this problem will come up, especially when you copy to a subfolder of a subfolder/subfolder of another path ...adds to character limit)
    2.  How do you know which combined file names + path names are too long if  you are in the  middle of a copy operation and this error pops up?  Some files copied but the "long files error message" says "skip" or "cancel" ... but not which
    files are the "too long" ones.  If you hit "skip" or "cancel" the "too long" files are left behind...but are mixed in with non-offender "good" "short name" files.   Sorting thru 1000s of "good" files to find a few "bad" ones manually is impractical.
    3.   Here's how you sort out the "bad" from the "good":
    4.    Let's say you want to copy a folder ..."Football" ...that has five layers of subfolders; each subfolder contains numerous files:
      C:/1 Football / 2 teams/ 3 players/ 4 stats/ 5 injuriessidelineplayerstoolong 
           There are five levels root "1 football" with subfolders  2, 3, 4 and lastly "5 injuries"
    5.    Use "cut" and "paste"  (for example to backup all five levels to a new backup folder):
           select "1 football" ....cut....select target folder....paste 
           ("cut" command means as the files are copied to the target destination, the file is deleted from the source location)
          Hint: avoid "cut" and "paste" to a target folder that is itself a sub/sub/sub folder ...that compounds the "characters over the limit" problem ...because the characters in the sub/sub/sub folder are included in the "file name
    character limit"...instead "paste" to a C:/ root directory.
           Suppose in the middle of this operation...error pops up: "5 files have file names that are too long"  Skip or cancel?
           select "skip"  ...and let operation finish
    6.    Now go back and look at the source location: since the software allows only the "good" "short name" files to be copied (and because you "skipped" the "bad" "Long name" files so they are not copied or deleted) ...all that remains
    in the source location are the "bad" "long name files" (because "good" ones were deleted from the source location after the "cut" operation...the bad ones stick out like a sore thumb.
    7.   You will find ....all that remains in source folders are: the "bad" "too long" files; in this example the "bad" file is in level 5:
          C:/ 1 football / 2 teams /3 players /4 stats /5 injuriessidelineplayerstoolong
    8.   select folder 5 injuriessidelineplayerstoolong (that's right...select folder, not file) gotta rename the folder first.
    9.  hit F2 rename folder..folder name highlighted...delete some of the letters in the folder name:
           like this:   5 injuriessidelineplayers  ....you should delete 'toolong'....from the folder name
    10.  then go into folder 5....and do the same operation ...with the too long file name:
            hit F2 rename file....file name hightlighted...delete some of the letters
               like this:  injuriessidelineplayers.....you should delete 'toolong' from the file name
    11.  Now..."cut and paste"  the renamed file to the target backup folder.  
    The Error message will pop up again if you missed any "bad" files....for example, it will indicate "5 files too long" ....then repeat process 5 times until you fix all of them
    12.     Finally, copy the target destination files back to the source location (when you are certain all source location file folder locations are empty) 

  • Serving up files with Russian chars in the file name

    Anyone know how to get CF 8 to serve up CFM files with
    Russian characters in the file name? I can get IIS to server up
    .html files but .cfm files turn in to ?????????.cfm files.
    For example, this:
    новостииобновления.cfm
    becomes this ??????????????.cfm and throws a CF error (File Not
    Found) when clicking on the link. The strange thing is I can see
    the Russian characters in the status bar when I mouse over the link
    but CF can't handle it. And IIS will serve up the file and replace
    all the chars with their URL entity equivalent.
    Any suggestions on how to fix?

    Open the Script Editor or AppleScript Editor in one of the subfolders of Applications and run the following:
    tell application "Finder" to quit
    if (do shell script "defaults read com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles") is "1" then
    do shell script "defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles 0"
    else
    do shell script "defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles 1"
    end if
    delay 2
    tell application "Finder" to run
    If you change your mind later, run the script again.

  • Is there a way to alter the file name given to the attachments in an email button?

    Hi RudyLou36,
    While viewing the form in Preview TAB of LC Designer you will always get the junk characters as the name of the file. Save the file and open it in Acrobat or Reader.
    You won't be able to change the filename unless you save the file first. Here (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/462681) is an example of a number of ways to deal with parts of the email programatically.

  • SharePoint 2010, Visual Studio 2010, Packaging a solution - The specified path, file name, or both are too long. The fully qualified file name must be less than 260 characters, and the directory name must be less than 248 characters.

    Hi,
    I have a solution that used to contain one SharePoint 2010 project. The project is named along the following lines:
    <Company>.<Product>.SharePoint - let's call it Project1 for future reference. It contains a number of features which have been named according
    to their purpose, some are reasonably long and the paths fairly deep. As far as I am concerned we are using sensible namespaces and these reflect our company policy of "doing things properly".
    I first encountered the following error message when packaging the aforementioned SharePoint project into a wsp:
    "The specified path, file name, or both are too long. The fully qualified file name must be less than 260 characters, and the directory name must be less than 248 characters."
    I went through a great deal of pain in trying to rename the project, shorten feature names and namespaces etc... until I got it working. I then went about gradually
    renaming everything until eventually I had what I started with, and it all worked. So I was none the wiser...not ideal, but I needed to get on and had tight delivery timelines.
    Recently we wanted to add another SharePoint project so that we could move some of our core functinality out into a separate SharePoint solution - e.g. custom workflow
    error logging. So we created another project in Visual Studio called:
    <Company>.<Product>.SharePoint.<Subsystem> - let's call it Project2 for future reference
    And this is when the error has come back and bitten me! The scenario is now as follows:
    1. project1 packages and deploys successfully with long feature names and deep paths.
    2. project2 does not package and has no features in it at all. The project2 name is 13 characters longer than project1
    I am convinced this is a bug with Visual Studio and/or the Package MSBuild target. Why? Let me explain my findings so far:
    1. By doing the following I can get project2 to package
    In Visual Studio 2010 show all files of project2, delete the obj, bin, pkg, pkgobj folders.
    Clean the solution
    Shut down Visual Studio 2010
    Open Visual Studio 2010
    Rebuild the solution
    Package the project2
    et voila the package is generated!
    This demonstrates that the package error message is in fact inaccurate and that it can create the package, it just needs a little help, since Visual Studio seems to
    no longer be hanging onto something.
    Clearly this is fine for a small time project, but try doing this in an environment where we use Continuous Integration, Unit Testing and automatic deployment of SharePoint
    solutions on a Build Server using automated builds.
    2. I have created another project3 which has a ludicrously long name, this packages fine and also has no features contained within it.
    3. I have looked at the length of the path under the pkg folder for project1 and it is large in comparison to the one that is generated for project2, that is when it
    does successfully package using the method outlined in 1. above. This is strange since project1 packages and project2 does not.
    4. If I attempt to add project2 to my command line build using MSBuild then it fails to package and when I then open up Visual Studio and attempt to package project2
    from the Visual Studio UI then it fails with the path too long error message, until I go through the steps outlined in 1. above to get it to package.
    5. DebugView shows nothing useful during the build and packaging of the project.
    6. The error seems to occur in
    CreateSharePointProjectService target called at line 365 of
    Microsoft.VisualStudio.SharePoint.targetsCurrently I am at a loss to work out why this is happening? My next task is to delete
    project2 completely and recreate it and introduce it into my Visual Studio solution.
    Microsoft, can you confirm whether this is a known issue and whether others have encountered this issue? Is it resolved in a hotfix?
    Anybody else, can you confirm whether you have come up with a solution to this issue? When I mean a solution I mean one that does not mean that I have to rename my namespaces,
    project etc... and is actually workable in a meaningful Visual Studio solution.

    Hi
    Yes, I thought I had fixed this my moving my solution from the usual documents  to
    c:\v2010\projectsOverflow\DetailedProjectTimeline
    This builds ok, but when I come to package I get the lovely error:
    Error 2 The specified path, file name, or both are too long. The fully qualified file name must be less than 260 characters, and the directory name must be less than 248 characters. C:\VS2010\ProjectsOverflow\DetailedProjectTimeline\VisualDetailedProjectTimelineWebPart\Features\Feature1\Feature1.feature VisualDetailedProjectTimeline
    Now, the error seems to be related to 
    Can anyone suggest what might be causing this. Probably some path in an XML file somewhere. Here is my prime suspect!
    <metaData>
    <type name="VisualDetailedProjectTimelineWebPart.VisualProjectTimelineWebPart.VisualProjectTimeline, $SharePoint.Project.AssemblyFullName$" />
    <importErrorMessage>$Resources:core,ImportErrorMessage;</importErrorMessage>

    <property name="Description" type="string">My Visual WebPart</property>
    </properties>
    </data>
    </webPart>
    </webParts>
    .... Unless I can solve this I will have to remove the project and recreate but with simple paths. Tho I will be none the wiser if I come across this again.

  • Get-ChildItem : The specified path, file name, or both are too long. The fully qualified file name must be less than 260 characters, and the directory name must be less than 248 characters.

    Hi, Im trying to get the whole path in my server, so i tried that with this following code
    Get-ChildItem $sourceFolder  -Recurse | ?{$_.PsIsContainer} |Get-Acl
    But then, it showed me somtehing like this :
    Get-ChildItem : The specified path, file name, or both are too long. The fully qualified file name must be less than 260 characters, and the directory name must be less than 248 characters.
     I tried to find the solver everywhere and mostly they propose to change the path name, which is impossible, since I am working with my company server, and those folder have already there before i start to work here, then the other ask me to use robocopy,
    but all of the trick just dont work
    is there any way to solve this problem? thanks

    There is no simple solution to this. And it is not a limitation of powershell itself, but of the underlying NTFS file system.
    If the problem is that a folder with a name longer than 248 exists anywhere within your directory structure, you are hooped.
    If the problem is that some fully qualified path names exceed 260 characters, then, in those cases, the solution already given is to create a psdrive partway up the path from the drive letter or server/share root of the path. Unfortunately, the output produced
    will be relative to that psdrive and not to what is specified as the $sourcefolder.
    unless you already know where those problematic paths are, you might consider trying to trap those errors and have your script figure out where it needs to create psdrives. You might then be able to calculate the equivalent path for each file or folder and
    output that. the programming effort would be simpler to just created a psdrive for each folder encountered, however I expect that would be very inefficient.

  • Word cannot open this document.  The document might be in use, the document might not be a valid Word document,  or the file name might contain invalid characters (for example,\ /).

    I recently upgraded to a new Macbook Air running Lion, from my 2007 white Macbook running Snow Leopard.  I had Office for Mac 2004 on the 2007, but had to upgrade to Office for Mac 2011 to be compatible with Lion on the Air.  Now when I try to open my documents on the Air that were saved under Office 2004 on the old computer, I get the following message: Word cannot open this document.  The document might be in use, the document might not be a valid Word document,  or the file name might contain invalid characters (for example,\ /).
    Any suggestions?  Thank you.

    Ha,ha,ha.....I figured it out.  But for anyone else who's having this problem, it seems that while Office 2004 allowed dates in this format: 00/00/00, Office 2011 doesn't like it at all.  I just changed the format in the document names to 00-00-00 and all is well.  Documents are opening beautifully!
