Datapump filename wildcard

10R2
RHES4
 
I have a procedure to create an export file of my database using datapump. The following generates an 'invalid argument value' error:
 
 
begin 
dbms_datapump.add_file(handle => h1, filename => 'EXPDAT%U.DMP', directory => 'DTPUMP', filetype => 1); 
end; 
 
It does not seem to like the wildcard in the filename. Has any developed a workaround for this.

Note the difference in whether .a.java matches *.java:
cmd.exe
C:\source\java\misc\dfs>dir *.java
Volume in drive C has no label.
Volume Serial Number is E875-69AD
Directory of C:\source\java\misc\dfs

Event trigger filename wildcard

Post Author: poputlal
CA Forum: Administration
Is it possible to specify a wildcard for the filename for an event trigger? Right now it asks me for a filename, but I want an event to be triggered whenever a file is created in a folder (or a subfolder).Also, if a wildcard is possible, then is it possible for the event to know the filename that triggered that event?

Hi Scott,
I created an event level trigger in APEX to check if user is trying to create/ drop/ modify a column "ROW_ID" and a bunch of other activities encapsuled in a procedure.
The trigger got created but, when I create a table in the same schema, this trigger does not fire. It works as desired in SQL * PLUS and TOAD
Trigger script is as under:
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER ASYED.TADDLS_CHECK_ROWID
AFTER ALTER OR CREATE OR DROP
ON ASYED.SCHEMA
DECLARE
oper VARCHAR2(2000);
sql_text ora_name_list_t;
v_oper VARCHAR2(30);
i PLS_INTEGER;
n PLS_INTEGER;
v_obj_name VARCHAR2(100);
v_obj_type VARCHAR2(100);
v_owner VARCHAR2(100);
v_login VARCHAR2(30);
v_stmnt VARCHAR2(2000) := null;
BEGIN
SELECT ora_sysevent
INTO oper
FROM dual;
i := sql_txt(sql_text);
SELECT upper(ora_login_user), ora_sysevent,
ora_dict_obj_name, ora_dict_obj_type,
ora_dict_obj_owner, upper(sql_text(1))
INTO v_login, v_oper ,v_obj_name,
v_obj_type, v_owner, v_stmnt
FROM dual;
IF (v_oper = 'CREATE' and (v_stmnt like '% ROW_ID %' or
v_stmnt like '%(ROW_ID %' or v_stmnt like '%,ROW_ID
or(v_oper = 'ALTER' AND v_obj_type = 'TABLE' AND
V_STMNT LIKE '%DROP COLUMN%' and (v_stmnt like '%
ROW_ID%'))
or(v_oper = 'ALTER' AND v_obj_type = 'TABLE' AND
V_STMNT LIKE '%MODIFY%' and (v_stmnt like '%
ROW_ID%') )
THEN
RAISE_APPLICATION_ERROR(-20997,'COLUMN NAME ROW_ID
RESERVED FOR ADMINISTRATIVE PURPOSE');
END IF;
IF v_oper = 'CREATE' AND v_obj_type = 'TABLE' THEN
SP_POST_DDL (v_obj_name, v_owner, oper);
END IF;
END;

Hi Ralf,
I am late..........
I am bit confused with your explanation.
1. Does all zip files will be picked by file adapter in one shot or is it conditional, since you have a XML descriptor file in firts zip file and the XML files describes the list of JPEG files which might be stored in the other zipped JPEG files?
2. Can you tell the exact flow of your scenario
3. Receiver in your scenario?
Thanks,
Gujjeti.

Installing and Compiling COBOL on Windows

Hi, I am at Installing and Compiling COBOL on Windows of PeopleTools_8.52_Installation_Oracle.pdf. After I typed in (basic syntax from pdf):
CBLMAKE.BAT [] [ALL] [wildcard filename[ALL]] [wildcard filename | wildcard filename without extension[INT | GNT | EXE]] [EBCDIC] [LIST]
This error appears:
'wildcard' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
Any advise? Thanks

but now my step is after this already---> cblsrc PS_HOME C:\temp\compile
After this step, it asks me to change directories to the compile directory which i think is (cd C:\temp\compile), and run CBLMAKE.BAT, using the basic syntax..... and I got that error... How can I do about it?

Find command issue

Hi,
I am executing a command like this.
#find . -type f -name *.log -exec grep -w good {}\;
I am getting this error.
find: paths must precede expression
Usage: find [path...] [expression]
Please help me to solve this issue.
Regards,
Mat.

Remember that in Linux, it is your shell that expands filename wildcards, not the application itself. So, you must prevent that "*.log" glob(1) pattern from being expanded. Not:
# find . -type f -name *.log -exec grep -w good {}\;
but:
# find . -type f -name '*.log' -exec grep -w good {} \;
Also, notice that the ";" that terminates the "-exec" command argument is also a shell command separator. That is why it is always quoted or escaped.

Get Variant Attribute Should Search for and return multiple values based on RegEx

I am using Variants as lookup tables (see this article):
Using Variant Attributes to Build a Dictionary or Look-up Table
I would like to be able to use some sort of wildcard to return multiple results from the Get Variant Attribute VI (all results are of the same type, and I don't know the exact names of all the results - those two points make this idea distinct from this idea: Set/Get Variant Attribute for Multiple Attributes).
Ideally the wildcard would be RegEx. If it were, the means by which you specify what to return is standardized.
In the above example, there would be some ambiguity in terms of whether or not you would want to return a result or an array of results given an input, and I doubt you could detect and assume RegEx is what the programmer desires to use. So I think this means a new input would be required to specify whether or not the "name" input of the Get Variant Attribute VI should be interpreted as a RegEx query.

Why RegEx? Why not SQL query? Why not filename wildcard matching?
I don't see anything that makes RegEx special. For this kind of functionality, the code that you've written seems like exactly the right way to do it rather than bolting a RegEx parser or any other system into the primitives or clouding the palette with a bunch of primitives to support various search functions. I could see a primitive that takes a VI refnum that has a conpane of string in/boolean out that you would pass in to supply the filter functionality that you want for any given application, but even that I'd lean toward just letting that be a library that someone writes on top of the primitives. Yes, there is some memory reduction that can be done if it is internal to the primitives, no question about that. But there are so many variations in how to do that filtration/sorting/etc that I'm not confident that any prim would cover a sufficient use case to be worth it. I could be wrong here ... let's see what other comments come in.

Can File Based events Handle wildcards in the filename

The question was can file events handle wildcards in the filename? That way, the object scheduled to handle the event can query the file event specifics and process accordingly. The impact is that we will have to create a file event for every event type for every pathway/state. Therefore, in a worst case scenario, if there are 3 event types for every state, i.e., end of day, end of week, and end of month, and there are 50 pathways/states, then there would be 50 *3 or 150 total file events that would have to be entered. If BOE can handle file event wildcarding, then we need only one event.can we do that ???

Hi
As per my knowledge events will not Handle wildcards in the filename

[VB, CS3] How to place images using wildcards in filenames

Dear all,
Can anyone think of a way to place an image using a wildcard in the filename?
I can place the image fine if the complete filename is known, but what if the filename changes from day to day? - eg it could be House1234.tif for one document then House56r.tif for another. So I'd like to place House*.tif sort of thing. The files are in different folders, of which the path is known.
Any ideas?
Nigel

Get the contents of the whole folder in an array, then you can check each item to see if it matches some criterium. In Javascript (VB should be similar):
function find_file (dir, mask)
 var f = Folder (dir).getFiles ('*.*');
 for (var i = 0; i < f.length; i++)
 if ( // compare f[i].name and mask here
 return f[i];
This returns the first file in "dir" that matches "mask".

LSMW - Periodic Data Transfer - wildcards in filename

Hello,
I have the following problem: The file, which has to be periodically read in is specifed for identification date + time e.g. DATAFILE_200820071250.txt
In the step 'Specifiy Files ' I entered:
serverDATAFILE_*.txt.
In the step ' Frame Program for Periodic Data Transfer' I entered in 'Value for Wildcard (*)' the following interval: 0000000000000000 - 99999999999999999.
During execution now (as a job with variant or directly) I receive always the same error message (/SAPDMC/LSMW524): "Specified values for wildcard (*) have not been defined" .
How I have to define the filename with wildcard (*) of a file which is peridically read in by LSMW?????
Thanks for your help!
Atentamente le saluda / Mit freundlichen Grüssen / Yours sincerely
Nicole Miosga

Hi Nicole,
As of my knowledge the way u have assigned the file name is incorrect,
just check it once, and in SPECIFY FILES there is values for wildcard ,
i want to know what u did here.
Thanks

Use wildcards in filenames

Good morning everyone!
I'm pretty new in ODI and I need to read a text file which name starts by "INV", the rest of the filename is variable: date and time.
Is there a quick solution to do that? Is it possible to use wildcards (*, %) like OS commands to find and read the file?
Thanks in advance!
Have a nice day.

Yes this can be done. You could use an OS command to find the filename using wildcards pass the name of the file to a consuming interface as a variable and then read the file

Wildcard in filename

I have a requirement. I have to send all the files in a particular directory to a reciever for which I am giving file name parameter as
'*.pdf' and a valid source directory from which to select the files.
There are some 700 pdf files to transfer.
The interface fails when it hits a file, which has '' in its filename. Something like AS_20090218.pdf.
The communication channel gives SAP Illegal Argument Exception. But I need to transport this file as it is to the receiver with the same filename. I have tried mostly all the combinations of wildcards and Advanced Source Selection options in the file adapter with no use.
Evidently, it considers the use of '' in the file name an error condition when '.pdf' is used to give the file names.
Has anybody come across any problem like this? If so, what is the way to solve this?
Thanks,
Rashmi.

Hi,
Yah I have tried with *.pdf .
It does not pickup the filename which has * in it. This is the error message I get in communication channel when trying to do this.
Could not process file 'A720090731CO.pdf': com.sap.exception.standard.SAPIllegalArgumentException: The parameter "argument" has the value "A7_20090731_CO.pdf", so it contains the character "A7*_20090731_CO.pdf" which is not allowed
Lemme make sure whether u have given '*.pdf' or *.pdf
Does giving the filename in inverted commas e.g, '*.pdf' make any difference?
Is there any escape character we can use for such cases or any use of exclusion mask or filemask in advanced source selection help?
Thanks,
Rashmi,.

Look for a filename containing a Wildcard (how to?)

My program enters a loop, and when a certain file is found, the loop exits and resumes duties. The file will start with "Pos_" or "Neg_" or "Warn_" then have some arbitrary junk, before suffixing in txt. So... how do I search for a filename with a wildcard? The attached JPG is how I'd like to do it, (and this works fine if the filenames are constant) but of course it doesn't work for the wildcard.

Thanks for the response Mads. I'll give that I try. I'm horrible at arrays, I tend to keep everything flat. Probably stoopid in this case.

Wildcard Filename Match

Hello!
I'm looking for a wildcard filename match method that can work in every operating system supported by the JVM. The signature of this method would be something just like this:
public bool match(String wildcard, String fileName);The wildcard would accept *, ?, etc. (e.g.: *.java).
Thank you.
Marcos

Note the difference in whether .a.java matches *.java:
cmd.exe
C:\source\java\misc\dfs>dir *.java
Volume in drive C has no label.
Volume Serial Number is E875-69AD
Directory of C:\source\java\misc\dfs
