CCM BAdi During File Upload

Hi All,
We are looking for a BADI during the file upload for Supplier catalog. The requirement is to modify the file ocntents during upload.
We tried implementing BADI /CCM/CTLG_ENRICHMENT, but seems like this BADI is not called during the upload function at all..
Please help us to fix this..
Thanks in Advance
Karthik

Karthik,
The Upload process is launched in a background task, that is why you have to 'insert a infinite loop' as Bertrand said, in order to enter in debug mode through transaction SM50.
PS: Please be careful, and use filters in your BADI implementation, because it is called also in the mapping and publishing processes.
Regards.

Error "A web exception has occurred during file upload" when trying to import ESXi image file into Update Manager

I'm encountering this error and not sure how to fix, I'm quite new to vCenter so please bear with me.
I'm trying out vCenter 5.1 with Update Manager 5.1 right now. No license key has been entered and I still have 50 odd days to try it out.
2 ESXi hosts are being managed by this vCenter, and they're both running ESXi 4.0
I'm looking to use Update Manager to try to upgrade the ESXi 4.0 hosts to ESXi 5.1
I downloaded the image file VMware-VIMSetup-all-5.1.0-799735.iso from VMWare website, and is looking to import it using the Update Manager so I can update the ESXi hosts, but I keep on getting the error:
File name: VMware-VIMSetup-all-5.1.0-799735.iso
Failed to transfer data
Error was: A web exception has occurred during file upload
I tried importing it by using vSphere client to connect to vCenter server both remotely and locally, with firewall disabled.
I've read http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1026602
I've disabled firewall, and there is no anti-virus program on the server. I've also restarted the machine several times, to no avail, I didn't reinstall update manager because the whole Windows and VCenter installations are clean from scratch.
I logged into the vSphere Client using Active Directory credentials, and I've made all Domain Admins (which my account is a member of) part of the administrator group on the vCenter server. I can't log in using admin@System-Domain because it tells me I don't have permissions for it, I still haven't really had the chance to figure out why that is and not sure if that makes a difference.
Also, I'm fairly certain I'm using the right image file, as I've burned some DVD's used that image file to upgrade some other ESXi hosts. Unless there's a special image file I need to download?
I'm at lost on what I can do to make it work. Please advise.
Thanks.

The ISO file you mentioned is the one for vCenter Server. What you need is the "VMware-VMvisor-Installer-5.1.0-799733.x86_64.iso" (or VMware-VMvisor-Installer-201210001-838463.x86_64.iso) for the ESXi host.

Limited bandwidth during file upload

Hi All,
Does it exist a possibility to limit used bandwidth during a file upload from a AIR app?
For example , is it possible to fix this limit to 10 or 100 kbps?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
any news about this discussion?

Threading problem during File Upload with Apache faces upload tag

First I am going to tell you "My Understanding of how JSF Apache Upload works, Correct me if i am wrong".
1) Restores View (to show Input box and Browse button to facilitate users to select a file for upload)
2) Translates Request Parameters to Component Values (Creates equivalent components to update them with request values).
3) Validates Input(Checks to see whether the User has input the correct file)
4) Updates Backing Bean or Model to reflect the values.
5) Renders response to user.
I am uploading huge files of sizes 400MB and above with the help of JSF apache extensions tag
<h:form id="uploadForm" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<x:inputFileUpload style="height:20px;" id="upload" value="#{backingbean.fileContents}" storage="file" size="50" />
</h:form>
In the backing bean
private UploadedFile fileContents;
     public UploadedFile getFileContents() {
          return fileContents;
     public void setFileContents(UploadedFile fileContents) {
          System.out.println("File being uploaded...");
          this.fileContents = fileContents;
Since, the file size is so huge, I am using temp folder to use for the apache tag instead of memory.
In web.xml i am using like this
<filter>
<filter-name>ExtensionsFilter</filter-name>
<filter-class>org.apache.myfaces.component.html.util.ExtensionsFilter</filter-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>uploadMaxFileSize</param-name>
<param-value>600m</param-value>
</init-param>
<init-param>
<param-name>uploadThresholdSize</param-name>
<param-value>10m</param-value>
</init-param>
     <init-param>
<param-name>uploadRepositoryPath</param-name>
<param-value>/uploadfolder/</param-value>
</init-param>
</filter>
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>ExtensionsFilter</filter-name>
<servlet-name>Faces Servlet</servlet-name>
</filter-mapping>
The upload process is working perfectly fine.
Now coming to the problem:
Suppose one user is logging into the application & uploading say 400MB of files.
Until these files are linked to the model objects as my understanding of step 2, if second user tries to open the application he gets stuck with the loading page.
The page gets loaded only after the request files are linked to the component values(Step 2 above) and updates the backing bean's values.
I don't see any error in the logs. User is getting stuck. The user is getting stuck only when uploading the files. The other operations like searching are not blocking any other activities performed by the user.
Server used: IBM Application Server V6.0. CPU is normal, memory usage is normal.

Dear friend,
i am also trying to upload using the common file upload.
when try to run the file error is coming
can give some suggestion.
can i use if concurrent user file upload at a time

Facing problem during file upload

hi
we r designing a portal where it is required to upload files based on individual users who have logged in.
For this purpose we r using a file field in one page and http upload tag in another page.
The file uploads successfuly to the database, but the problem is that we r not able to get the value of pReq.getUser() in the page where the httpfileupload tag exists.
we noted that request.getParameter() and session.getValue() is also not valid in this page.
we also tried setting the session value to true in provider.xml. Even this didnt work.
we noted that this problem comes only when the file field is used. can anyone tell me how to solve this??
Thanks in advance.
voyager

request.getParameter() nor session.getParameter() does not fetch anything. the value is null

View temporary data in Web layout during file upload in Integrated Planning

Hi Experts,
When using File Upload funcationality, in Integrated Planning,
I have a requirment, How user can view the data in the web layout?
After data display user can make changes in the data and on click of Save the updated data is saved in cube.
If any one has come across this requirment can you please help me out how things can be carried out?
If "how to implement" document is present can you please provide me the link.
Thanks and Regards,
Abhi

Hi Abhi,
I assume, you are using WAD for this..
Please do the following: (Please note the the cube has to be in Plan mode while executing WAD)
1. Create a input enable query (through query designer) on th eaggregate level (the one you are using for IP). You might need to create filers for the aggregate level. these filters can also be used in the query.
2. In the WAD, pull this query.
3. Create a button in WAD and check for the planning functionalities readily available that you can use in WAD. One of the planning functionality is SAVE Data. This will save any data which is entered by the user.
4. In the same button integrate a Refresh Data command after the SAVE data. This will automatically refresh the query and pull the updated/changed data from the cube.
This should work. Please write back in case of any clarification.
Regards, Rishi

Powershell: There is no file with URL error during file upload.

I am trying to put together a PowerShell script that I could use to upload files from a local directory, into a Document Library in a Record Center Site. Here is what my script looks like...
#Open web and library
$web = Get-SPWeb $webUrl
$docLibrary = $web.Lists[$docLibraryName]
$files = ([System.IO.DirectoryInfo] (Get-Item $localFolderPath)).GetFiles()

ForEach($file in $files)
Write-Host "Looping through files"
Write-Host "Current file:" $file
ElseIf ($contentType = "MyContentType")
#Open file
$fileStream = ([System.IO.FileInfo] (Get-Item $file.FullName)).OpenRead()
# Gather the file name
$FileName = $File.Name
#remove file extension
$NewName = [IO.Path]::GetFileNameWithoutExtension($FileName)
#split the file name by the "-" character
$FileNameArray = $NewName.split("_")
$check = $FileNameArray.Length
#Add file
$folder = $web.getfolder($docLibraryUrlName)
write-host "Copying file " $file.Name " to " $folder.ServerRelativeUrl "..."
$spFile = $folder.Files.Add($folder.Url + "/" + $file.Name, [System.IO.Stream]$fileStream, $true)
$spItem = $spFile.Item
write-host "Success"
#populate columns
$spItem["Application Number"] = $FileNameArray[0].ToString()
$spItem["Site Number"] = $FileNameArray[1].ToString()
$spItem.Update()
$fileStream.Close();
Each time I run my script, I get this error message
Exception calling "Add" with "3" argument(s): "<nativehr>0x80070003</nativehr><nativestack></nativestack>There is no file with URL 'http://myRecordLibrarySite/myRecord Library/12587_B2317.PDF' in this Web."

I have not been able to nail down why the script is failing. Any ideas why? Thanks for the help.

$folder = $web.getfolder($docLibrary.rootFolder.URL)

CPU HOGGIN DURING FILE UPLOAD

Hi,
I was trying to upload files using servlets,
I am using weblogic 5.1 as server (servlet engine)
my CPU usage goes to 100% when the file is being transferred...can any one explain why this is hppening and what is the solution for that...
TIA,
Sanjy

I'm assuming the servlet that's handling the file saving was written by you....
you should be reading the data from the browser in chunks 8k is the largest default size block...
we'll pretend that this is going to a file and you've got a FileOutputStream already created... I'll call it fos and the inputstream to the browser we'll call that in :)
byte[] tba=new byte[8192];
int len=in.read(tba);
while(len!=-1) {
fos.write(tba);
len=in.read(tba);
if you want more specific help send the chunk of code that deals with recieving the file....

Here is a common tag that is used to upload a file:
<input type="file">
Also, have you tried to upload a simple (text) file using your method. Then a file that has simple context but is about the size of the file you have problems with. Then, the file you are trying to upload.
That will determine if its your upload method, a problem with the size of the file, or something funny about the content of that particular file (perhaps its corrupt).

Error during File upload into BI IP

Hi,
I have followed the steps outlined in the How-to Guide for loading files into BI-IP (NEtweaver) as posted by Marc. When I execute the same, I get the following error:
System error in program CL_RSR_FIPT_VAL2SID_PREFETCH and form BEFORE_TRANSFORM-01- (see long text).
I am not sure why this is happening and also about what should be done! Any ideas are most welcome!
Thanks and Regards
Sriram

Hi Sampath,
Please ensure you are on SP 15 patch level , else if you are on SP 14 then apply note 1070655 - Termination msg CL_RSPLFR_CONTROLLER =>GET_READ_WRITE_PROVIDS
b] Apply Correction Instruction 566059 [i.e: in Object - CL_RSPLFR_CONTROLLER GET_READ_WRITE_PROVIDS,
delete the block: l_r_alvl = cl_rspls_alvl=>factory( i_aggrlevel = p_infoprov ).
and insert block - l_r_alvl = cl_rspls_alvl=>factory( i_aggrlevel = i_infoprov ).
Apart from this ensure at Planning function level create the rows as like in the flat file. Also give correct parameters to the skip header and other functions.
Hope this helps

Rename file extension during a file upload ??

I need to rename the extension of a file at some point during the file upload. I am not sure where to do this at.
The file needs to be renamed before it is written to the directory.
Basically, the file will come in with a .txt or .doc type. Based on a users profile, I will change the type to a non-relavent number such as 1111.
Here is my upload servlet. Can you tell me where to change the type so it will write the file with the new extension?
Thanks.

I am also need to rename a file and extension while uploadinf the file to the server. The oreilly example seems only save as the same file name and ext. I wonder if you have the ability chANGE OIT OR NOT. pLEASE LET ME KNOW

Has anyone been able to upload an ibooks file with audio only files (m4a) in it? I keep getting the following error message during the upload in iTunes Producer: ERROR ITMS-9000: "Files of type audio/x-m4a are not allowed outside of widgets.

Has anyone been able to upload an ibooks file with audio only files (m4a) in it? I keep getting the following error message during the upload in iTunes Producer: ERROR ITMS-9000: "Files of type audio/x-m4a are not allowed outside of widgets. then it names the file as an m4p file. Everything works beautifully on the iPad through Preview, and validates through iTunes Producer up until the attempted upload. If you've been able to accomplish this, please let me know how you prepared your audio files. Many thanks.

Hello Fellow iBook Authors!
Today I received the same error that you all have been discussing. I tried selecting the DRM
and this did not work for me, though I'm glad it did for some. Here's what I did as a work-around. . .
Since iBooks Author did not have a problem with Videos, I simply used one of my video programs, ScreenFlow to turn the audio into a video file m4v. I added an image and extended the length or timing of the image to span the length of the audio file. Then exported as an .mov. I then opened QuickTime and opened the file and exported the file to iTunes.
You can use iMovie, Camtasia or any other progam that will allow you to export the audio as a movie file. Does this make sense? I hope this helps, at least in the short-term.

All my ipod files were erased during an upload

I have never had trouble uploading my ipod until this morning when I was putting several new albums on it, it said they were done uploading so when I clicked on my ipod in iTunes to check if all of them were there, and it hadn't actually done anything. During an upload it said that an artwork file was corrupted. I looked at my iPod and the 'do not disconnect' message was frozen, so I unplugged it and restarted it. When I turned it back on and went to my music, everything was gone instead of the files I just tried to upload. I was using my ipod as a hard drive so none of my files were backed up. I always have had it manually upload songs onto it instead of it automatically copying my library on this computer. I know that my other files are pretty much lost but how did this happen? If it was a specific file how do I locate it and if I don't delete it, will it happen again? I'm so mad right now, I had a 9 hour flight tommorow and I lost over 2000 songs.

Hello Michael,
See this older thread from another forum member Zevoneer discussing the various methods for transferring content from your iPod to your computer.
