Checking the Existence of Flat File

Hi,
I want to know whether a flat file is existing in the presentation server.
I want to check the text file's availability and upload if it is there using GUI Upload.

Checking the existence of a file b4 creating a file by the same name

Hi All,
I hav a scenario where I hav to check for the existence of a file by the same name (XXXFile say). If i don't hav any file by the name XXXFile, then i hav to create a file by the name XXXFile at that location. If it already exists, then i hav to wait till it gets deleted (takes hardly 1 min to get deleted).
Can any one tell me :
How to do this without using operating system command?
And using operating system command?
Any help wud be appreciated.
Thnx in Adv
Anil

Hi Anil,
You will i guess have a standard format in which you are going to write the file with a counter or something.
Whenever you are going to write a file, you can:
1. Check if there is a file already sent by this name?
2. If no, then you can send the file at the same time update the name.
You can do this by creating a ztable in SAP and accessing it through JCO/RFC. You can do this in your module or in the mapping.

How to check the existence of a file?

Hi,
I want to know how to use FileNotFoundException to check whether a text file exists in local directory.
How should I do the code?
Thanks

Like this:
private File f = new File ("c:\\projects\\sutil\\err\\temp_err.txt");
   if (f.exists()) {
      f.delete();
   }

Hi All,
If we have a filename with path, how do we check whether the file is existing in the presentation or application server?

How to check the existence of file without any error dialog?

Hi everybody,
I am trying update some labview programs from LV6.1 to LV7.1, I used the
function "File/Dictionary Info" to check if the file
exists or not (if the size=0 then file does not exist), and it ran well with
LV6.1, but now it shows every time a labview error dialog
about "LabView: file not found..." with 7.1, if this file dosn't exist.
Sometimes I feel that it is really stupid to show the dialog, because I
can write handling by myself, if the error should be handled, and
I don't want all the process is interrupted because of such dialogs. Is
there any way to shut the dialog down or check the existence of
file smoothly?
Thanks a lot!
L.Wang

Hello,
The dialog is probably appearing because you have Auto Error Handling turned on. This feature is turned on by default in LabVIEW 7.0. You should go to VI Properties (Ctrl-I) > Execution and deselect "Enable automatic error handling". Also you should go to Tools > Options > New and Changed in LabVIEW 7.x and deselect "Enable automatic error handling in new VIs". If you never want to see one of those dialogs again, you can also deselect "Enaeble automatic error handling dialogs"...I wouldn't recommend this, however, as you would never know if one of your VIs had this setting enabled...you would only find out once somebody else tried to use your VI on another LabVIEW install.

Checking for the existence of a file.

I have a GUI to enter test info. A file is created based on the entered test number. I want to check for the existence of a file, and then notify the operator while not allowing the program to save it.

This vi checks the presence of the input file.
If file is not found, it will be created.

# This file is provided by Oracle Corporation to help you customize

# are discussed, and example settings given.
# Some parameter settings are generic to any size installation.
# For parameters that require different values in different size
# installations, three scenarios have been provided: SMALL, MEDIUM
# and LARGE. Any parameter that needs to be tuned according to
# installation size will have three settings, each one commented
# according to installation size.
# Use the following table to approximate the SGA size needed for the
# three scenarious provided in this file:
# -------Installation/Database Size------
# SMALL MEDIUM LARGE
# Block 2K 4500K 6800K 17000K
# Size 4K 5500K 8800K 21000K
# To set up a database that multiple instances will be using, place
# all instance-specific parameters in one file, and then have all
# of these files point to a master file using the IFILE command.
# This way, when you change a public
# parameter, it will automatically change on all instances. This is
# necessary, since all instances must run with the same value for many
# parameters. For example, if you choose to use private rollback segments,
# these must be specified in different files, but since all gc_*
# parameters must be the same on all instances, they should be in one file.
# INSTRUCTIONS: Edit this file and the other INIT files it calls for
# your site, either by using the values provided here or by providing
# your own. Then place an IFILE= line into each instance-specific
# INIT file that points at this file.
# NOTE: Parameter values suggested in this file are based on conservative
# estimates for computer memory availability. You should adjust values upward
# for modern machines.

Does any one know how to resolve the error while flat file upload

Hey guys, I am so struck with this problem, please do let me know if anyone has any suggestions and ideas.
1. I created three InfoObjects, Material Number, Name and Price,which is a keyfigure and has data type DEC and fixed currency USD.
Material Number is "With Master Data ", "With Text" and i added Name and Price as attributes to that.
2.
After that i created an Application component, and therafter a data source for Master data Attibutes.
Now i select my flat file which is .csv file, in this data source. When I click "Load Example Data", i get all the fields from flat file, but the data type for PRICE changes to FLTP with length 16 instead of remaining DEC.
Does anyone have any idea why on earth is this change of Data type taking place ?
Please do me a favour by answering if you know about this problem. Thanks, appreciate it . Byee. And yeah, m just starting off in SAP so I am a total amateur unlike most of the people here.

Am workin on BI 7.0.
Let me put it in another way :
Created Infoobjects: 1) Material No , 2) Material Name 3 ) Price which is the Key Figure
Material No -
has attributes Material Name and Price and " WIth Master Data", With ' Text"
Price: -
data type DEC, fixed currency - USD
After doing things.
Created Application Component:
then, Right Click - Create Data Source,
Selected -- Master Data Attributes
After that from "EXTRACTIO' tab , selected the flat file, which is *.csv
and then in DATA FORMAT - " SEPERATED WITH SEPERATOR"
Then from "PROPOSAL" tab, when i click Load example data, the data from flat file shows up here, but the field PRICE now has Data Type -- " FLTP" and lenght "16"
I hope i was clear enough. thanks

Wrong century for the dates from flat file

I am in the process of uploading the data from flat file ( aka CSV) into oracle via external table .
All the dates have the year of 20xx. My understanding was 51-99 will be prefixed with 19 ( such as 1951 - 1999) and 00-50
will be prefixed with 20 ( such as 2004 ... )
The column below ( startdate ) is of timestamp .
Is my understanding wrong ?

Offense . None taken ...
I literally typed the sql ( as I did not copy & paste SQL / resultsets ) . I did use to_char in my original sql . I don't want to expose the real table . thats why I was giving the made up test case. If you carefully the SQL and the equivalent result sets ... you would have noticed .
Here is the SQL used ( of course , I have changed the table name ) ...

How to check the existence of DB400 library from java

Hi all,
I actunally need to validate a DB400 library via java. so is there any way to check the existence of DB400 library from java side.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Sarvan,
You might not even need a function to tell you if a record exists or not.
Here in below example i do a check with exists .you will find couple of other ways too..
create table t as select * from emp where deptno=10now i set salary of every person present in table 'T' to 1111 in emp table.
update emp e
set sal=1111
where exists
        (select 1
          from t
          where t.empno=e.empno) Remember that plain SQL will always outperform PLSQL.
Hope it helps

Procedure to check the existence of Indexes

I have a procedure whcih drops all the indexes, when the same procedure is executed again, it gives error "object does not exists" (obviously)
I want to avoid this error, how can I check the existence of index inside the procedure, so that the procedure will check if the index exists before deleting the index?
Is there a ready-made procedure available for such scenario?
Thanks in advance

The other approach is to catch the exception in your script, i.e.
BEGIN
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'DROP INDEX <<index name>>';
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN
-- Drop failed. Do something to record the failure.
NULL;
END;Now, most of the time, you'll want to catch a few specific exceptions and you'll want to do something when you catch them (i.e. generate a log entry).

Programmatically check the existence of objects in the system

Hi,
Is there a way to programmatically check the existence of objects? The idea is I'll accept a list of names of objects and their object types and then programmatically check their existence in the system?
Can you point me to a resource on how to do it?
Thanks in advance.
--Carl

Hi.
All custom objects (z, y) being referred to a program. May it be z or y table, data element, domain, sapscript form, function module/group.
The goal is actually to be able to transport a program from a source machine to a target machine. The objects being referred to from the program must also be transported, of course, for it to run properly. Thus, the need to check the objects' existence.
Thanks.
