Changing the owner of a file

Sir,
I have a program which executes this command (touch filename) using Runtime class.When the program is executed the file is created with root as its owner.I tried to change the property using the setProperty("user.name","temp") method of System class.But still the file has the root as its owner.Is there any other way to do this.
Thanks
Mouli

You're using Unix, right?
Have you tried using chown throug runtime to change the owner?
Can't you make file from Java code without needing
Runtime class? I don't know about this, I've been
working with C and Unix for too long, but can't you open
a stream to file and then close it? That way you'll
have an empty file, and the owner might be the one,
who executed the Java program.

Changing the owner to multiples files...

Hello, How Can I change the owner to multiples files.
Now I am doing this one by one with properties option (webui).

Thanks a lot,

The JAVA API would be a good start. Simploy construct a search for the appropriate documents, then recurse through the SearchResults and apply your changes.

Proper way to make bulk changes the Owner ID, Path and file share credentials for my existing subscriptions, ExtensionSettings

We are going through with an upgrade/migration to SSRS 2012 and moving everything to a different domain. We have about 200 active subscriptions running, the reports are being delivered to a file share. What is the correct way, in bulk, to change
the OwnerId, the Path and the FileShare Username password credentials for these subscriptions? I see these values are being stored in Subscriptions > ExtensionSettings. I see that the file share path and Owner wouldn't be a problem to change,
but since I see the file share credentials are encrypted I would not be able change them directly in ExtensionSettings. Anyone know the proper way to change the Owner ID, Path and file share credentials for my existing subscriptions without having to
change each one of them manually in the report manager?
Note: Reporting Services Native upgrade from SSRS 2005 to SSRS 2012.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Cygnus46,
Based on my understanding, you want to change the Owner ID, Path and file share credentials for all existing subscriptions.
In Reporting Services, the subscription information are stored in the Report Server database. In your scenario, you can go to report server database and run the query to list all the subscriptions, then modify the owner and fileshare paths in the subscriptions
table. For more information, please refer to this article: Tip: Change the Owner of SQL Reporting Services Subscription. If you want to change
the file share credentials for subscriptions, you can run the query provided by
wiperzeus from this similar thread:
Windows File Share Delivery/ SSRS 2008 R2.
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

How do you change the owner of a folder?

Hello,
I'm having a very difficult time finding an answer to this question. I have a brand new xserve (10.5.2) up and running fine with a single web site with wikis and blogs enabled. I can get to the web page and the wikis with no problems.
The problem is, the default folder for the web home page and the wiki information are on the system drive. I need to have those folders on another partition. I created a folder called /Collaboration and one called /Webdocs on the partition on which I need these folders.
When I put a copy of index.html into the webdocs folder, the web site shows up fine in a browser window. Wikis show as being "disabled" though. The folder for the wiki files has me as the owner since I created it. I've read on a few posts in these forums that the owner of that Collaboration folder needs to be "teamserver" however, I am unable to change to that using Get Info, like I could with a Tiger machine.
Could someone please tell me how to do this? Thanks.

I've got a similar problem:
I'm attempting to follow the directions in the Upgrading and Migrating Guide for Leopard. The Mac has two hard drives in it. Batman contains the active server running 10.4.11. Magic is the hard drive that will run 10.5.2.
Since I'm moving from one hard disk to another (as opposed to an entirely different Mac), things ought to be fairly easy. But not for me. ;(
What I'm trying to do: Migrate the mail database. (I have managed to import users and groups; only the mail service will run on this machine.)
Problem: I can't change the owner and group settings on the various files in the var/imap and var/spool/imap folders (for example, so that they are owned by system or _cyrus, with group wheel or mail and everyone set to read only).
The owner and/or group often shows up as unknown (which is to be expected with the migration to a different hard drive). But how can I change these permissions?
Or is there a way to use a command to copy them from one disk to another? I tried ditto, but didn't get the syntax right (the files were copied to the same level as the imap folder rather than within it) and now I have a bunch of files owned by nobody that I can't delete because I can't change the owner.
TIA,
mm

When upgrading I changed the owner of everything.

When upgrading my Mac Pro (quad core Intel Xeon) I changed the owner name, and subsequently lost 12 years of mail archives. I have accepted that loss as a result of my stupidity. Now here is my question: Is there a way to universally add my new adminitrator (dougjacobson) as owner of all folders, files, apps, etc.? I am the only user on the Mac.
Thanks for any insight into using the command line.
Doug

I don't have time to write something comprehensive and bulletproof, but here goes...
First, make a copy of one of the folders you want to recover, and practice on that. Once you're confident that you know what you're doing, do it on your real data.
The commands that you're looking for are "chown" and "chgrp", which change the owner and UNIX group of the targetted files. You can read about these by typing "man chown" and "man chgrp", or just Google them.
The main option you will provide to these two commands is the -R flag, which means that it will be applied recursively to the contents of a directory, not just to a single file/directory.
eg: "chmod -R jakesan your_mail_folder/"
You may need to prepend the "sudo" command ("man sudo" for more details):
eg: "sudo chmod -R jakesan your_mail_folder/"
Good luck! (sorry, I may not respond to follow-up questions)

Error while changing the owner of an object in Discoverer

Hi All,
I have a problem in Discoverer folders.
I have a folder whcih is based on a view in schema in A, now i have created the same view in schema B and want to change the owner of the view in Discoverer to B.
But when i do that it gives me an error as -
'An error occured with the darabse transaction because the underlying object has been changed'
I am not able to understand this.
If anyone can help me this it would be really helpful.
Regards,
Shruti

Well, this is something not talked about in the Administration training class. My hunch is that you are trying to do something that Oracle never intended you to do. I think when you edit the folder and want to change the Owner property, the idea maybe is that you are trying to change the owner on the original table. Here you have said that you recreated the view in schema B (so technically a different table object). But in Discoverer you are still dealing with the view in schema A as the basis for the folder, not the view in schema B. Though I would think if you can see the new owner's name in the database/user list and thus can pick it, it should let you change the owner property, even if that may not be quite what you intended. Discoverer does store things under the cover (such as unique ids), so maybe something is going on that is not visible. My suggestion would be to open up a service request with Oracle support on this. The idea of dropping the folder and then readding it may be okay, but that would be something you would want to test in some kind of test environment and see what happens (not sure what impact that may have on workbooks using the original folder). Of course it may be possible that you have uncovered an Oracle bug.

1. Select theJob --> Menu Bar --> JOB --> Change --> here you will get the details of the job and Clieck on STEP just above the job name.
In the next screen select the job and click on Change ICON. here you can see the user name in change mode and you can update the user to ALEREMOTE. And then save the job.
Once done then the job will be on the new user.

How can i change the size of PDF files ?

how can i change the size of PDF files? when i convert documents in the acrobat browser it seems the files become larger then normal pdf files, this is, i compare with other files that people send to me and i realise that they are smaller than my converted files, even if they have more pages.

A lot depends on the form of the PDF. Is it graphics, a scan of a text file, pure text, or other? What version of Acrobat are you working with.
You can do a save as to get a WORD file, but do not expect great results. The ability to get a decent WORD file depends on what the form of PDF you are working from. If it was created from WORD with tags and all, you might get good results. If not, you might get a lot of messed up results.
Explain what you are starting with and your ultimate goal. Also check the audit of the file (should be under PDF Optimize) to see where the file information is concentrated (text, fonts, graphics, other).

Changing the setting from PDF file to a JPEG file.

Is there a way I can change the scan setting on my printer. It is a HP Deskjet F4480. I want to change the setting from PDF file to a JPEG file. I want to scan them so I can see them on my screen saver.

This has nothing to do with Acrobat. See the documentation for the scanner software that came with your scanner.

Question on changing the owner of spatial datatype

create table test4 (
COL1 NUMBER(38) NOT NULL,
COL14 SCOTT.SDO_GEOMETRY
) TABLESPACE USERS;
SQL> select table_owner, table_name FROM all_synonyms where synonym_name='SDO_GEOMETRY'
OMETRY';
TABLE_OWNER TABLE_NAME
SCOTT SDO_GEOMETRY
I want to change the owner of SDO_GEOMETRY to MDSYS. I know re-creating the table like "COL14 MDSYS.SDO_GEOMETRY" will get what i'm
looking for but is there a way to ALTER the table to achieve the same without re-creating it?
Thanks,
Rajesh

user11919950,
. . . .If you're just messing around on a test machine, then give this a spin:
-- "Identify obj# in table named obj$ for SDO_GEOMETRY owned by MDSYS
select
   obj#,
   t.OBJECT_NAME,
   u.USERNAME,
   o.OWNER#
from       sys.obj$ o,
   dba_users u,
   dba_objects t
where      u.USER_ID = o.OWNER# (+)
AND o.name = 'SDO_GEOMETRY'
AND o.owner# = 46
AND o.obj# = t.object_id;
      OBJ#   OBJECT_NAME USERNAME   OWNER#
     45779 SDO_GEOMETRY MDSYS      46
     48788 SDO_GEOMETRY MDSYS      46
-- "identify owner#/user_id for SCOTT"
SELECT user_id FROM dba_users WHERE username = 'SCOTT'
   USER_ID
        54
-- "Change the username of one,both of those records from MDSYS to SCOTT"
-- "NOTE: untested SQL, but if it fails, just edit the table in Oracle Enterprise Manager"
UPDATE obj$ SET owner# = &ScottUserID WHERE obj# = &ObjNum;
COMMIT;
{code}
I've temporarily changed obj# values in this obj$ table to break associations between oracle objects that were throwing errors. I used Oracle Enterprise Manager's "view contents" form to view the obj$ table and to make those changes. See {message:id=4596120}
