Call COPY FILES window dialog from FORMS 6i

Hello.
I'm working with FORMS 6i and I need to make script witch will copy all files from CD to HARD DRIVE ...
Now I'm using this command to call XCOPY DOS command and this working great...
Win_Api_Shell.WinExec( 'cmd.exe /c xcopy /y /e '||xcopy_sting, WIN_API.SW_SHOWNORMAL, false );
BUT....
I have FROM & TO destinations parameters and I want to use windows copy dialog witch will be opened by button press automaticaly..
( I mean on SMALL COPY DIALOG WINDOW when you pressing CTRL+C)
TNX

You can use a host command to perform the copy.
declare
ls varchar2(299);
begin
ls :='copy '|| source dir || destination dir ;
Host(ls);
End;
And you can create 2 text items in the form and use the get_file or win_api_dialog to get the directory name.
Use it in the above

Calling Windows File Open Dialog from Forms

Has anyone used the File Open Dialog of MS-Windows from within
forms? How do you invoke it and how do you pass arguements (in
and out) to communicate with it?

GET_FILE_NAME built-in
Description
Displays the standard open file dialog box where the user can
select an existing file or specify a new file.
Syntax
FUNCTION GET_FILE_NAME
(directory_name VARCHAR2,
file_name VARCHAR2,
file_filter VARCHAR2,
message VARCHAR2,
dialog_type NUMBER,
select_file BOOLEAN;
Built-in Type unrestricted function
Returns VARCHAR2
Enter Query Mode yes
Parameters
directory_name
Specifies the name of the directory containing the file you want
to open. The default value is NULL. If directory_name is NULL,
subsequent invocations of the dialog may open the last directory
visited.
file_name
Specifies the name of the file you want to open. The default
value is NULL.
file_filter
Specifies that only particular files be shown. The default
value is NULL. File filters take on different forms, and
currently are ignored on the motif and character mode
platforms. On Windows, they take the form of Write Files
(*.WRI)|*.WRI| defaulting to All Files (*.*)|*.*| if NULL.
On the Macintosh the attribute currently accepts a string such
as Text.
message
Specifies the type of file that is being selected. The default
value is NULL.
dialog_type
Specifies the intended dialog to OPEN_FILE or SAVE_FILE. The
default value is OPEN_FILE.

How Do I Copy File Names & Folders From A Hard Drive To A Word Document?

Hi Gang:
This may sound silly but I am having a herd time with the following - seemingly simple task.
I have data DVD-Rs with audio files organized into folders. Each folder contains audio files related to the folder name.
I would like to copy the file names and folders from a DVD-R and paste them into a MS Word file. I am just looking to get a listing of files as they appear on the DVD-Rs in their folders.
The problem is that when I copy and paste, the order changes (seemingly randomly) and the file names are no longer under the folder names. In fact, the whole thing looks to be really random.
Anybody know how to copy file/folder names from a hard drive or DVD-R to a word document and retain the file/folder structure?
Thanks!
LAHD

There is an even easier method with no Terminal magic required. In the Finder, select all the files you want the names of, press Command-C, switch to Word and press Command-V. Poof, your done.
If you view the DVD in List VIew, you can expand the folders you want the files for, then select all the files (and their folders if you want them too) and then do the Copy/Paste thing.

Hi,
Do you have any 11i instance where those custom forms are used? If yes, you will have to copy those forms from 11i to R12 instance, open the forms using Forms 10g builder, compile it and upload it back to the server.

Downloaded legitimate copy of Windows 7 from Microsoft...

I know I need to install Windows 7 from Bootcamp. I used to have Vista on it, but have gotten rid of that now. I upgraded to 8 gigs of ram, so now I have to install 64 bit for Windows. No matter how I copy Windows to a dvd to use in Bootcamp, it can't find the dvd. I have seen that there are files from the dvd in Finder. Is it impossible to upload a "copied" dvd, and do I have to wait for Microsoft to mail me their backup? ...or is there something I'm doing wrong?
Thanks in advance!

Well, I went and purchased 2 other brands of dvd, but neither one of them are burning, either. That totals 4 different brands. I've reinstalled Windows Vista till I get the Windows 7 dvd in the snailmail. Can't believe I've been through HOURS for absolutely nothing but reinstalling what I had in the first place, only to wait around 3 weeks till I get the actual dvd. Lesson learned. Get the original software straight from the manufacturer in the first place!
Anyway, has anyone else had a problem with burning a dvd, when a cd will burn no problem, and it reads dvds and cds no problem?

Calling Windows API From Forms.

For example, how can i call the MessageBoxA function from user32.dll whilst working in an Oracle Forms Application.
Thank you.

You shall have to use the WEBUTIL_C_API.Invoke_Int function for this purpose. Please see the following example that Locks the workstation.
-- IMPORTANT
-- Be sure to review the following My Oracle Support Note
-- Doc ID: 285331.1 - "Exception When Calling PASCAL style Function Via WebUTIL_C_API"
declare
rc pls_integer;
     f_handle WEBUTIL_C_API.FUNCTIONHANDLE;
     args Webutil_c_api.parameterlist;
     winSysDir varchar2(255) := Client_Win_API_ENVIRONMENT.Get_Windows_Directory || '\system32\';
--- IMPORTANT ---
-- WEBUTIL_C_API CURRENTLY ONLY SUPPORTS CALLING C STYLE LIBRARIES, THEREFORE SOME WINDOWS LIBRARIES CANNOT BE CALLED.
-- ADDITIONALLY, IT IS NOT RECOMMENDED THAT YOU ATTEMPT TO CALL FUNCTIONS WHICH REQUIRE ARGS.
-- USE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN CALLING WINDOWS APIS.
-- BE SURE TO THOROUGHLY TEST BEFORE MOVING TO PRODUCTION
-- LOOK CLOSELY AT BOTH STABILITY AND MEMORY USAGE AS SOME CALLS
-- MAY RESULT IN THE APPEARANCE OF A MEMORY LEAK.
-- This call to USER32.DLL will reference the LOCKWORKSTATION function.
-- If the current OS user does not have a password configured, the workstation may not lock.
-- The Windows LockWorkStation function requires no args to be passed in.
-- WebUtil expects something to be passed in. So an empty paramlist will be created.
begin
If webutil_clientinfo.get_operating_system LIKE 'Win%' Then
     f_handle := WEBUTIL_C_API.register_function(winSysDir||'user32.dll','LockWorkStation');
     args := WEBUTIL_C_API.create_parameter_list;
If the function succeeds, the return value is nonzero. Because the function executes asynchronously,
a nonzero return value indicates that the operation has been initiated. It does not indicate whether
the workstation has been successfully locked. If the function fails, the return value is zero.
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa376875(v=VS.85).aspx
     rc := WEBUTIL_C_API.Invoke_Int(winSysDir||'user32.dll','LockWorkStation',args);
End if;
WEBUTIL_C_API.Destroy_Parameter_List(args);
WEBUTIL_C_API.Deregister_Function(f_handle);
SYNCHRONIZE;

I have a windows vista pc and want to use migration assistant to copy files over. From what I understand, it will copy over my user profile and settings as well. Is there anyway to just copy files?

Hey everyone, I just bought a new macbook pro 13-inch (late 2011 model) and I want to use migration assistant to copy over my photos, iTunes library, documents, etc. I know this can be done wirelessly or by connecting the two computers by Ethernet cable (windows vista pc --> macbook pro). Which is faster?
I also have heard that using migration assistant copies over the user file as well and makes it the new one on the mac. I would only like to copy over files, not user settings. How do I do this?
Thanks!
P.S. I'm assuming that when my iTunes library is copied, the mp3 files are copied too. Could someone please confirm this?

How to Read the Timestamp of a File on Unix from Form?

If you have a file located on UNIX operating, what is the best way to read the time stamp (the date that file has been created) of that file from Oracle SQL, SQL*plus, or Developer Forms 6i/9i/10g?

Thanks Robin for the reply! Your suggestion seems to be good!
However, We found a solution now! I would like to share with you the way we did, in case anyone out there need the solution:
In SQL*Plus, we created a Java Source below:
CREATE OR REPLACE AND COMPILE JAVA SOURCE NAMED "FileDate"
AS
import java.io.File;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.util.Date;
public class FileDate {
public static String GetDate(String strFilePath) {
String ReturnValue = null;
if (strFilePath == null || strFilePath.length()==0)
// do nothing
else
File aFile = new File(strFilePath);
if (aFile.exists())
long lngTime = aFile.lastModified();
Date aDate = new Date(lngTime);
SimpleDateFormat fmtDate =
new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MM-yyyy HH:mm:ss");
ReturnValue = fmtDate.format(aDate);
fmtDate = null;
aDate = null;
aFile = null;
return ReturnValue;
-- Then we created a wrapper to call the Compiled Java above:
CREATE or REPLACE FUNCTION FileDate_GetDate(FilePath IN STRING)
RETURN VARCHAR2 IS
LANGUAGE JAVA
NAME 'FileDate.GetDate(java.lang.String) return int';
-- Then we created a database package:
-- Package Spec:
PACKAGE sap_dnld AS
FUNCTION get_file_date2 (s1 varchar2) RETURN VARCHAR2;
END sap_dnld;
-- Package Body:
PACKAGE BODY sap_dnld AS
FUNCTION get_file_date2( s1 VARCHAR2 )
RETURN VARCHAR2 AS LANGUAGE JAVA
NAME 'FileDate.GetDate(java.lang.String) return int';
END sap_dnld;
-- Then we tested the whole thing in SQL*Plus:
set serveroutput on;
declare
x varchar2(2000);
begin
x := sap_dnld.get_file_date2;
dbms_output.put_line(x);
end;
-- Then we called the function from the package using a procedure from the form:
PROCEDURE Find_date IS
BEGIN
:control.file_date := sap_dnld.get_file_date2('directory1/subdirectory/filename.txt');
END;

How do i copy files and folders from one external harddrive to another on the iMac?

For some reason when i drag the folder or file that i want to transfer or copy from one external harddrive to another, nothing happens when i drop it on the destination folder or drive. however, when i drag and drop to the desktop or any location on the Imac internal hardrive it works without any issue. The only problem is that i dont want to transfer or copy stuff to the computer. i want to copy it to an external harddrive. please help if your have answers to my question.
Thanks!

Check the formatting of the external hard drive. To do that, right click on the drive icon and select Get Info. (Or click once on the drive and type command +i ) The pane includes information about the drive format.
The drive should be formatted as Mac OS Extended. If it is not, run Disk Utility (App;ications / Utilities) and format the drive.

Can't copy files to iDisk from Finder

Good Day,
I am trying to copy a file from my desktop to my iDisk. I have shown my iDisk in the Finder Prefs. I have also done Go->iDisk->My iDisk. The iDisk folder shows in the finder with several folders inside it (none of which I created).
I DO NOT have iDisk sync on.
When I drag a file from the desktop to the iDisk (10k png file) it takes about 40 seconds to complete the copy. Then the file shows up as a Zero KB file on the iDisk. I have tried several file types and sizes, nothing will copy.
The Zero Byte files show up in the Mobile Me web interface and are Zero Bytes there as well.
Thanks in advance for the help.
David

Apparently iDisk sync has to be turned on. You can't use it as a stand alone cloud disk...
Yes, you should be able to, just stay out of the special folders.
It will take a while to copy things, of course, but you should be able to just drag things into, say, the Desktop folder there, as you would any other file.
It does sometimes take a few seconds for the copy to complete, and the actual size to show up.
Try a small test document, say one made with Text Edit.

Calling report with parameter screen from form using frmrwinteg

Hi,
I am calling a report with a parameter screen from a form and am using the frmrwinteg bean. This works fine on our test application server but, when moved onto our production application server, the database logon screen is presented after pressing the submit button on the parameter screen. The cause of the problem seems to be the html generated to simulate the parameter screen. The html on the test application server contains a BASE tag in the HEAD section with an href starting "http:/servername.companyname.com". However, the same tag in the html generated on the production application server is missing the ".companyname.com", causing the cookie produced by the frmrwinteg bean to not be found. Does anyone know how the BASE href tag is generated and what I need to change to get the correct BASE href value? I am using Forms/Reports 10g R2 and Application Server 10.1.2.
Cheers.....

Copying files into lightroom from iPhoto

I wanted to get my photos from iPhoto into Lightroom and so copied them all to a folder on the desktop
but it seems I have to keep them on the desktop otherwise Lightroom does not recognise them. Can somebody advise as to where they
should be placed or how I should have done it? thanks

LightRoom support is not done here - as to iPhoto select the photos you want to move to LR and export (usually as Kind is original) to a desktop folder - Exporting From iPhoto
From there on you need LR support
