Assign the name of a file and its extension when using DESTYPE=MAIL

Hello,
I've developed a report running Oracle Reports 10g that is being emailed to a user. I would like to specify the name of the file and it's extension that is attached. Are there variables or parameters in Oracle Reports that I can use to accomplish this?
It looks like by default that the file name is using the Name value found in the Property Inspector for the report. I have not been able to find a way to re-assign this value with a value from either the input or select values in the data model.
Will Oracle Reports 10g allow me to define the name of the file and the extension?
Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Jesse

Thank you for the quick reply and information. I almost thought you had solved my problem until I found out that distribution and bursting do not support delimited and spreadsheet output. One of the two files I need to email has a desformat of SPREADSHEET.
Is there any other way to manipulate the file name and extension when using destype of MAIL?

  • I want to build an apple script that will parse the name of a file and sort it into folders.

    This is for medical application, so I will do it as such: CLIN_FAM_PAT_FILE_DATE.EXT sorts into Folders: Family/Patient/Type/Date, either sorting into folders that already exist (and make them shared folders eventually for each patient) or creating new folders with names as indicated by the file name.  The Prefix "CLIN" is an indication that the file is a clincial patient document and so needs to be filed.  Files without that prefix would be ignored. 
    So the file format would be:
    Family Folder
    Family DocumentsDocument Type folders
    Patient folders - for each person who is a member of that houshold unitDocument Type Folders (such as x-rays, lab reports, or insurance info)Within each document type, there would be separate folders based on the date (or at least the order of the docs would be by date)
    For example:   A document called CLIN_JONES123_JAMES228_LAB_022614.PDF which is a lab summary for James Jones done on 2/26/14 would go here
    JONES123 FolderJAMES228 FolderLab Results FolderFebruary 2014 Folder.
    Makes sense?  I am initially putting these files into a Filemaker Pro database and having it compile the files based on patient name, type, date, etc.  But need to use Applescript to create the folders so things are organized in a way that I can easily share with patients.
    Makes sense?

    You can call this script from Applescript (just need to do some escaping of quotes):
    This can be run in Applescript:
    do shell script "
    DestinantionFolder=$HOME/Desktop
    MONTHS=(January February March April May June July August September October November December)
    for f in ~/Desktop/*
    do
         if [[ $( echo \"${f##*/}\" | cut -d_ -f1 ) == \"CLIN\" ]] ; then
              ff=$( echo \"${f##*/}\" | cut -d_ -f2 )
              pd=$( echo \"${f##*/}\" | cut -d_ -f3 )
              date=$( echo \"${f##*/}\" | cut -d_ -f5 )
              date=${date%%.*}
              mo=${date:0:2}
              yr=20${date:4:2}
              Dir=$DestinantionFolder/$ff/$pd/${MONTHS[$mo-1]}\\ $yr/
              if [ ! -d \"$Dir\" ]; then
                   mkdir -p \"$Dir\"
              fi
              mv \"$f\" \"$Dir\"
         fi
    done"
    ...is there a way to trigger this whenever a new file is created to check and see if it needs to be moved
    Yes, with Automator.  When you Open Automator, choose Folder Action
    I copied what you did and while the script ran successfully, I don't see any new folders created.  Your shell script makes sense; I am not sure why it doesn't create folders.
    The script as written only looks for files in the Desktop Folder
    (edit by changing: DestinantionFolder=$HOME/Desktop )
    To test I created a file on my Desktop
      touch ~/Desktop/CLIN_JONES123_JAMES228_LAB_022614.PDF
    and Folders were created and the file moved.
    (Note: I only tested that format.  If the file has any other format, it will fail)

  • How to read the name of .csv file from a particular folder using Oracle.

    Gurus,
    I have a folder called 'data_dir' in Oracle Server and it contains 10 different .csv files and the name of the each file is being suffixed by date and time(24 hrs format).
    First i need to read all the file names then i have to process those files by UTL_FILE to load the data into a relational table.
    Is there any mechanism is available in Oracle to read the file names?
    (In this case all the 10 different csv file names)
    If so, then please help me accomplish this.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Venugopal.K

    Is there any mechanism is available in Oracle to read the file names?Sounds to me like you need to use External Tables (*not* utl_file).

The reason I need this because I've 7 different fmx files which are doing some DML operation on a specific table and these fmx files were used by different users. Not necessarily 1:1 For eg. one user can do DML through 3 different fmx files. So in such case if I want to want to know from which fmx file this DML has take place .How can I achieve that.

    Percy,
    For that you can set the Module Field in the V$session in each form by,
    DBMS_APPLICATION_INFO.SET_MODULE(MODULE_NAME => :SYSTEM.CURRENT_FORM, ACTION_NAME => USER);Write this in each form, and then you will get the form name in the V$SESSION's module field with form name.
    Hope this helps.

    You can't edit a file with PDF Pack, but you should be able to convert it to a Word document, and if you are really lucky edit THAT and make a new PDF. Don't expect too much though!

  • Boot Camp Question .... I just bought a 2013 late model Mac Book Pro Retina and am wondering if it is worth installing windows through boot camp. If I install the windows component in order to run an exe file and its component "Declans Korean Flash Cards"

    I just bought a 2013 late model Mac Book Pro Retina and am wondering if it is worth installing windows through boot camp.
    If I install the windows component in order to run an exe file and its component "Declans Korean Flash Cards"... will it make my mac suseptible to viruses overall due to having a windows component? also will it make my mac slower as well

    If you are only going to use one or two window only programs then I wouldn't waste the space.  Try WinonX it allows you to install exe. Files on Mac without installing windows.

    Are you searching for a file that you downloaded via Firefox?
    If that is the case then you can check the Download Manager (Tools > Downloads) and if that file is listed there then right click that entry and choose > Open Containing Folder. If that entry is grayed then the file is no longer in the original download location and possibly removed by AV software.

  • System Center Virtual Machine Manager SC VMM 2012 SP1 Installation fails: Unable to assign the name NO_PARAM to this host because this name is already in use.

    I'm trying to install VMM 2012 SP1 on a Windows Server 2012 machine and it fails with this error,
    the scenario is as follows,
    Old database (from 2012 RTM) exists on remote SQL 2012 SP1 server
    Server was 2008 R2 SP1 so I decided to make a fresh installation of 2012 with the same name
    installed ADK
    specific error: 01:42:13:VMMPostinstallProcessor threw an exception: Threw Exception.Type: Microsoft.VirtualManager.Setup.Exceptions.BackEndErrorException, Exception.Message: Unable to assign the name NO_PARAM to this host because this name is already in
    use.
    please help

    I had a similar problem today when upgrading from SCVMM 2012 RTM to SCVMM 2012 SP1 RTM. To re-create the issue you describe originally you can actually just uninstall SCVMM 2012 SP1 RTM with "retain data" option and re-install the software on the same
    computer (with the same name of course), attaching it to the retained DB. If you change the SCVMM server name I believe it will make some things go wrong after your install, like missing VM template passwords for example as the data gets encrypted in
    the DB. Maybe it didn't but I didn't risk it. I definitely know if you change service accounts on a scenario like this you will be without the encrypted DB data which isn't much fun. To avoid changing the computer name, if you look in the setup log
    files in %systemdrive%\ProgramData\VMMLogs\, specifically the SetupWizard.log file. You will see details on it failing because the same computer name is in the DB table "dbo.tbl_ADHC_AgentServer" and until it is removed from that table I wasn't able to get
    the install to complete at all. The error in my logs looked something like this "InnerException.Type: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException, InnerException.Message: Violation of UNIQUE KEY constraint 'unique_ADHC_AgentServer_ComputerName'. Cannot insert duplicate
    key in object 'dbo.tbl_ADHC_AgentServer'. The duplicate key value is (computername.is.writtenhere). The statement has been terminated." In the row data in the DB it also seems to suggest that the computer name had "Virtual Machine Manager Library Files" on
    it which is strange since I always remove the local SCVMM server as a library server after I install it and use an off box library server.

    Purchased a used macbook pro with Mountain Lion. My old Mac runs Snow Leopard is backed up to Time machine. How do I register the operating system to me and how do I use Time Machine to move my files to the new used computer?

    If you look at the User Tips tab, you will find a write up on just this subject:
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4053
    The subject of buying/selling a Mac is quite complicated.  Here is a guide to the steps involved. It is from the Seller's point of view, but easily read the other way too:
    SELLING A MAC A
    Internet Recovery, and Transferability of OS & iLife Apps
    Selling an Old Mac:
    • When selling an old Mac, the only OS that is legally transferable is the one that came preinstalled when the Mac was new. Selling a Mac with an upgraded OS isn't doing the new owner any favors. Attempting to do so will only result in headaches since the upgraded OS can't be registered by the new owner. If a clean install becomes necessary, they won't be able to do so and will be forced to install the original OS via Internet Recovery. Best to simply erase the drive and revert back to the original OS prior to selling any Mac.
    • Additionally, upgrading the OS on a Mac you intend to sell means that you are leaving personally identifiable information on the Mac since the only way to upgrade the OS involves using your own AppleID to download the upgrade from the App Store. So there will be traces of your info and user account left behind. Again, best to erase the drive and revert to the original OS via Internet Recovery.
    Internet Recovery:
    • In the event that the OS has been upgraded to a newer version (i.e. Lion to Mountain Lion), Internet Recovery will offer the version of the OS that originally came with the Mac. So while booting to the Recovery Disk will show Mountain Lion as available for reinstall since that is the current version running, Internet Recovery, on the other hand, will only show Lion available since that was the OS shipped with that particular Mac.
    • Though the Mac came with a particular version of Mac OS X, it appears that, when Internet Recovery is invoked, the most recent update of that version may be applied. (i.e. if the Mac originally came with 10.7.3, Internet Recovery may install a more recent update like 10.7.5)
    iLife Apps:
    • When the App Store is launched for the first time it will report that the iLife apps are available for the user to Accept under the Purchases section. The user will be required to enter their AppleID during the Acceptance process. From that point on the iLife apps will be tied to the AppleID used to Accept them. The user will be allowed to download the apps to other Macs they own if they wish using the same AppleID used to Accept them.
    • Once Accepted on the new Mac, the iLife apps can not be transferred to any future owner when the Mac is sold. Attempting to use an AppleID after the apps have already been accepted using a different AppleID will result in the App Store reporting "These apps were already assigned to another Apple ID".
    • It appears, however, that the iLife Apps do not automatically go to the first owner of the Mac. It's quite possible that the original owner, either by choice or neglect, never Accepted the iLife apps in the App Store. As a result, a future owner of the Mac may be able to successfully Accept the apps and retain them for themselves using their own AppleID. Bottom Line: Whoever Accepts the iLife apps first gets to keep them.
    SELLING A MAC B
    Follow these instructions step by step to prepare a Mac for sale:
    Step One - Back up your data:
    A. If you have any Virtual PCs shut them down. They cannot be in their "fast saved" state. They must be shut down from inside Windows.
    B. Clone to an external drive using using Carbon Copy Cloner.
    1. Open Carbon Copy Cloner.
    2. Select the Source volume from the Select a source drop down menu on the left side.
    3. Select the Destination volume from the Select a destination drop down menu on the right
    side.
    4. Click on the Clone button. If you are prompted about creating a clone of the Recovery HD be
    sure to opt for that.
    Destination means a freshly erased external backup drive. Source means the internal
    startup drive. 
    Step Two - Prepare the machine for the new buyer:
    1. De-authorize the computer in iTunes! De-authorize both iTunes and Audible accounts.
    2, Remove any Open Firmware passwords or Firmware passwords.
    3. Turn the brightness full up and volume nearly so.
    4. Turn off File Vault, if enabled.
    5. Disable iCloud, if enabled: See.What to do with iCloud before selling your computer
    Step Three - Install a fresh OS:
    A. Snow Leopard and earlier versions of OS X
    1. Insert the original OS X install CD/DVD that came with your computer.
    2. Restart the computer while holding down the C key to boot from the CD/DVD.
    3. Select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu; repartition and reformat the internal hard drive.
    Optionally, click on the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass.
    4. Install OS X.
    5. Upon completion DO NOT restart the computer.
    6. Shutdown the computer.
    B. Lion and Mountain Lion (if pre-installed on the computer at purchase*)
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because
    it is three times faster than wireless.
    1. Restart the computer while holding down the COMMAND and R keys until the Mac OS X
    Utilities window appears.
    2. Select Disk Utility from the Mac OS X Utilities window and click on the Continue button. 
    3. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the left side list. Click
    on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    4. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on the Security button
    and set the Zero Data option to one-pass.
    5. Click on the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
    6. Quit DU and return to the Mac OS X Utilities window.
    7. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Install button.
    8. Upon completion shutdown the computer.
    *If your computer came with Lion or Mountain Lion pre-installed then you are entitled to transfer your license once. If you purchased Lion or Mountain Lion from the App Store then you cannot transfer your license to another party. In the case of the latter you should install the original version of OS X that came with your computer. You need to repartition the hard drive as well as reformat it; this will assure that the Recovery HD partition is removed. See Step Three above. You may verify these requirements by reviewing your OS X Software License.

  • How to remove a font file and its mapping from XML Publisher Administrator

    Hello,
    I am trying to remove a font file and its mapping from the XML Publisher Administrator. If this is not possible, is there a way to disable it?
    The reason why I am asking this is because we just got a new check printer, and I was able to print just fine. However, the MICR font was not coming up properly on the check, so I went ahead and configured the font with the XML Publisher Administrator. Now my check output is coming up blank after running the XML report publisher program. The only change I did was to upload the MICR font and mapped it.
    My template and rdf report file are working fine in another environment we have, so I know that's not the problem.
    Any help is appreciate it.
    Thanks.

    This is how you do it
    Font
    DELETE FROM xdo_lobs
    where lob_code like '<Font_name>';
    Font Mapping Set
    DELETE FROM xdo_font_mapping_sets_TL
    WHERE mapping_code like '<MAPPING_CODE>'
