Block File Types from KM Repository

Is there any way to block particular file types (i.e. .avi, .wmv) from KM repositories? We do not want users to be able to load particular types of files to our SAP Portal environment.

Hi Jon.
Open Config Tool > cluster-data > Instance > Server > General Tab and add Java parameter '-Dcom.sap.km.forbiddenext=exe,avi' (modify exact values per your needs). Save and repeat the same procedure for all cluster instances. Restart cluster.
Credits to The specified item was not found. for the forum thread Note 1170922: Can allowed extensions be configured in Config Tool?.

Ability to block file types from websites

Hi All,
Seeming the knowledge base wasnt much help and I cant get through to support.
I was hoping someone here could help.
I am trying to create a policy which will block downloads only for webmail sites. I do not want any users able to download any attachments from webmail sites.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Josh,
Thanks for the reply.
Couldnt get hold of support as my S160 gives this error message
The Critical message is:
Internal SMTP giving up on message to [email protected] with subject 'IronPort S160 Support Request for ironport.domain.com.au [Ability to\n\tblock filer type downloads]': Unrecoverable error.

Obviously email works as the unit itself was able to email me the error and I have checked the settings are correct.
Can someone provide a link in the KB for how to setup a poicy to block all downloads from a web site.
Thanks

Can you block file types???

Can you block certain file types from playing to force users to have a standardized file type to be uploaded to the server? For example, if we decide we do not want .wav files played on the server, is there a configuration setting to block/stop a .wav from playing from the server? I want to standardize the server and force end users to copy only certain file types into the vod folder.

That would be in the technology you use to upload the files.
If you build out a server side solution that would upload files to your web server you could do that, but no, FMS is about streaming what's already there or creating new files. It doesn't care how it got there...
Something like this: http://www.inaflashuploader.com/ might work for you. ( I think there's a max size limit to the files you can upload. just FYI )
**disclaimer i have not used this I just googled for a flash + php upload script **

File server resource manager. Block file types based on size

I have a site where our users appear to be saving some pretty huge TV quality video files (usually .MOV, and usually over 900MB in size) to our file storage server. The
concern I have is that such large files are going to fill up our server we will run out of space .
I don't want to blanket block smaller (less than 30MB) .MOV video files from being saved
to the drive, so would like to know if there's any feature in the File server resource manager that can block file type based on size.
If it's not possible, then could someone please suggest this as a future feature of FSRM as I'm sure there are plenty of companies out there who face the same problem as me.
thanks,

Hi,
We could not block file types based on size by using FSRM. As a workaround you could use disk quotas on NTFS Volumes which are tracked on a per-user.
To apply disk quotas to existing volume users, add new quota entries in the Quota Entries window. Please understand that it will take you some time to add all users into the list.
It will allow administrators to control the amount of data that each user can store on an NTFS file system volume.
For more detailed information about disk quotas on NTFS Volumes, you could refer to the article below:

File type from file name

Hi,
Is there any standard method to get a file type from file name?
File name can be C:\test.doc or C:\test(test is file) i.e. with or without file type extension.
...Naddy

You can use the Function module PC_SPLIT_COMPLETE_FILENAME
export paramter extension will tell the type of file
Sample Output
Import     COMPLETE_FILENAME     C:\TEST.TXT
Import     CHECK_DOS_FORMAT
Export     DRIVE     C
Export     EXTENSION     TXT
Export     NAME     TEST
Export     NAME_WITH_EXT     TEST.TXT
Export     PATH     \

Getting the file type from a placed file

Hi
I am trying to get the file type from items placed on a page. I know the types available has one of the three interfaces "IImageAttributes", "IEPSAttributes" or "IPDFAttributes", but how can i test whether the placed image is a TIF, JPG ... Of course i could test on the suffix or the file type (mac), but that isnt "secure" enough, since InDesign can place files with no filetype or extension, if they are in an importable format.
What I want in short, is to read the filetype shown in the Info palette, any one knows how to do this?
Jon

Thanks, I did take a look in these interfaces, but that didnt solve the problem for eps, pdf and other none raster types.
Instead I found the:
IDataLink->GetNameInfo()
Which gives me the string from the Info palette.

I am not sure what you mean, but once you make a project. Then go to the share menu and you can export the project to iDVD, itunes, mobileme, quicktime.
Share export quicktime movie will allow you to export to a variety of codecs. What specific export are you looking to share the movie in? What is the final source that the movie will be displayed?

Downloads - I want to open some PDFs/other file types from the internet but not have to save them; I can't figure out how to view them and close them without having to save them first.

Downloads - I want to open some PDFs/other file types from the internet but not have to save them. I can't figure out how to view them and close them without having to save them first. When I click on a file, the downloads box opens and depending on the setting, it auto saves the file or asks me where to save the file. What if I don't want to save it anywhere, I just want to view it and close it?

I uploaded and edited my RAW image, clicked 'Save As', and changed the file type from .psed to .jpg.

I edited my raw image in Photoshop CS6, selected 'Save As', and changed the file type from .psed to .jpg. I also selected 12 and large file when the window popped up, concluding my 'saving as'. My computer does not recognize the file type and won't open them. Can someone help me? Thanks!

When naming files, stick to the letters of the ENGLISH alphabet, numbers and underscores. Do not use illegal characters like apostrophes, commas, asterisks, ampersands, hatch or pound signs, diacritics or accented characters, slashes, etc.
While the period (dot) is not an illegal character per se, your file names should have only one period and that should always be followed by the file type extension.

How to change file type from .zip to .dock

I would like to know how to change the saved file type (.zip) to other file types such as (.txt), (.doc), (.dock) or (.pdf).

It's more complicated than just changing the name of the file to have a different extension. What you have to do is to convert a file from one format to another. To do that you have to use an application that knows how to open the original type and how to write the format of the new type. The application to use for a given combination depends on the combination. For example, the Preview applications knows how to read a JPG file and write the contents to a PDF file.
A ".zip" file is a somewhat different case. A ".zip" file is an "archive" that (generally) contains other files compressed within it. If you double-click on a ZIP file, it should expand into the enclosed files.
If you give specific examples of what you want to convert, people should be able to explain what to do.
By the way, I'm not familiar with a file of type ".dock". What is that?

ITunes 8 moved importing/file type from Advanced to General tab

In iTunes 8, converting from one file format to another is now handled under iTunes Preferences > General > Import Settings button, rather than under the Advanced tab as in previous versions. All the file types are still there.

Hi there,
The problem here are NOT the WARNINGs but the ERRORs. So basically focus on the ERRORs...
For the ERRORs the solution is in Metalink Note:289606.1 - Pre-Check Fails - Oracle Report Objects Show Red Crosses When Merging a Transport Set within the Dependency Manager.
As for the WARNING, you should also migrate the users and the groups via the OID scripts - ldapsearch & ldapadd.
I hope it helps...
Cheers,
Pedro.

How to convert flat file type from DAT to ASC

hello all
i am trying to download a flat file and trying to upload it in another program.
for this i am using gui_upload and gui_download function modules.
if i download the file as ASC and upload with ASC there is no problem.
if i download the file as DAT and upload with DAT its giving an exception invalid file type
if i download the file as DAT and upload with ASC its giving an exception bad data format.
but in real senario my customer is sending a flat file with DAT type and i am unable to upload it.
how to solve this problem?

Hi,
when uploading DAT pass file type as 'ASC' and give HAS_FIELD_SEPARATOR = 'X'.
For other types see the code below.
CASE P_RECTYP.
   WHEN 'DAT'.
     MOVE 'X' TO L_FLDSEP.
     MOVE 'ASC' TO L_TYPE.
   WHEN 'ASC'.
      MOVE ' ' TO L_FLDSEP.
      MOVE P_RECTYP TO L_TYPE.
   WHEN 'BIN'.
       CLEAR L_TYPE.
     MOVE P_RECTYP TO L_TYPE.
     MOVE ' ' TO L_FLDSEP.
   WHEN OTHERS.
    MOVE 'X' TO L_FLDSEP.
    MOVE 'ASC' TO L_TYPE.
ENDCASE.
CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_UPLOAD'
EXPORTING
   FILENAME                      = LV_FILENAME
   FILETYPE                      = l_type
   HAS_FIELD_SEPARATOR           = l_fldsep

Missing VOB file type from pull down list of file formats

All of a sudden I can no longer import vob files. This had been working fine, but then I installed Encore, updated everything (Premiere shows version 4.1.0) and now the vob files I had previously inported are no longer recognized and a vob file type no longer shows up on the pull down list of file types that can be inported.
Any suggestions?

Does any MPEG variant still show up, for instance in the Sequence Presets does it show HDV, XDCAM, or similar?
If not, you have been bitten by the Installer Bug.
Many have experienced problems in the sense that after updating, their full version reverts to trial status. Often this is caused by either a faulty installation previously or having used at one time the trial version. The best solution, cumbersome and time consuming, is to uninstall, run the CleanScript 2 or 3 times and reinstall and then apply the updates again.

How to get the File-Type from a BLOB-Column

Hi all,
I have the database table with the BLOB-Column. In this column are Word/Pdf/Excel/... files can be stored.
Now I want to open these Files from Webforms.
I can download the file from database to the client and then open the file with client_ole2.CREATE_OBJ('Word.Application');
But I can not be sure that the file is a Word-Document.
How can I know which application is saved in the BLOB-column?
Regards

Hi Francois,
thank you.
Unfortunatelly I do not know the interMedia functions. Can you send me an example with interMedia?
I am working with your solution with WEBUTIL_HOST.blocking.
But when I do not give the extension for the file, in that the BLOB will be temporary stored, I get to see the Windows "Select Program..." window. When I select Word or anything else then the file will be opened, but the locking does not working.
Any ideas?
Regards
