Datapump overwrite

I want to setup a datapump job to run automatically every night. This works fine but fails on the second run because the dump file alreay exists. With exp it would automatically overwrite the existing file buth with DP it appears the existing file needs to be manually deleted first. Is there another way (eg the "reuse" parameter in datafile create). I want to run this from within the database so I don't have access to OS commands.
Thanks

if you should use the UTL_FILE.FREMOVE package, how can I then also use it with datefileformats?
the export datapump is maybe a nice tool, but the biggest mistake ever of Oracle in this, was not to allow the same filename for the dump, why is it allowed to overwrite the logfile. This is stupid move of Oracle. Everything of the datapump is ok for me, except you can't overwrite the dumpfile.
Now I'm having problem with it, with exp I used to run it every day and it was overwritten, with this, I had made a script that runs everyday with a date in the filename (file_name_date.dmp). But off course, those files need to be removed a regulary time. How can I do that with the package UTL_FILE.FREMOVE ?
(removing file without changing date-name is no problem...)
thanks

Create dump file with datapump, with read right for everybody

Hello,
I have a problem under Linux : I am creating dump files with datapump.
Those dump files are owned by a dba group, with no read access for users not in the dba group.
Is there a way that the datapump utility creates dump files with a read access given to any user ?
Franck

Unlike "exp", when using "expdp", the dumpfile is created by the server process. The server process is forked from the database instance. It inherits the umask settings that are present when the database instance is started.
(Therefore, the only way to change the permissions would be to change the umask for the oracle database server id and restart the database instance --- which is NOT what I would recommend).
umask is set so that all database files created (e.g. with CREATE TABLESPACE or ALTER TABLESPACE ADD DATAFILE) are created with "secure" permissions preventing others from overwriting them -- of course, this is relevant if your database files are on FileSystem.

New to oracle: does imp overwrite all contents in database

does imp overwrite everything in database? can it used to copy over database.

Hello,
does imp overwrite everything in database? can it used to copy over database. Firstly there're 2 kinds of export/import utility:
- *1*. The Original export/import (exp/imp).
- *2*. The DATAPUMP export/import (expdp/impdp) starting with Oracle *10.1*.
With the Original export/import, you cannot remove the contents of the Table and replace it. If you want to Truncate or Drop the Tables before the Import, you have to do it by yourself.
With the DATAPUMP, as previously posted, you have the Parameter TABLE_EXISTS_ACTION which can help to manage automatically several case:

Hope this help.

How to make mac address gmail contacts overwrite the ones on my HTC Android phone - I don't want to sync - that makes the phone scramble and overwrite my computer. I want to remove or correctly overwrite the phone information as I have done with iPad.

Please help - I am beginning to hate google, my android and gmail. I have just wasted about 5 hours in a futile attempt to try and get my current Mac contacts list on my computer updated to my phone. I'm not that computer literate but I have looked up about google phone accounts, vCards, backing up contact lists, what SD on phones are, and God know what else. I have searched the internet and tried all sorts of things and I still have a mac with a now correct contact list (after the iPad contacts scrambled it and I spent ages manually correcting them all) and a phone with an outdated contact list. If you try and sync them the phone wants to overwrite the computer one just like the iPad did (would it be so **** hard to give you a choice on the phone as to which overwrites which!). After all the advice on the internet failed, I got the bright idea to completely delete all the ones on the phone and if it was empty of contacts the computer one could be exported to it. Not as simple as it sounds. First I backed up (I think) my computer contacts list. Numerous futile attempts to go through the phone options to globally delete all contacts did not work - they gave a warning message and you got to choose whether to continue or not, I did, and it looked like it might be working as it changed to zero data on the phone, but then they all popped back up again from God knows where from, but without their little added bits like pictures of the people. So, I tried un- syncing the darn phone from google and then deleting them globally. That didn't work either. I tried deleting them all again and again and google would crash and not let me do it. It is absolutely ridiculous that this is so damned difficult to do (especially if you are not computer savvy) and that you cannot choose which device overwrites which when syncing. I gave up and ticked sync with Google again (not that it appears to do anything to the phone contact list at all). So after 5 hours I am back to where I started from, with a phone showing all the same incorrect contacts (but the pictures are back), which wants to overwrite the computer if I try any sort of sync, and no way to fix them except go into each one manually and try and do it - and how long would that take (and I've already wasted hours and hours fixing scrambled contact lists!). I think I will do a print out of the computer contact list and just carry it around with me like an address book - so much bloody simpler. So now I have a headache, am fighting an overwhelming urge to hurl the phone at the wall, hoping for a heat wave to evaporate icloud things and am wishing I had bought an iPhone instead of the stupid HTC Android. Can any one offer me any suggestions on how to get rid of the contacts on my phone and replace them with the ones in my mac address list - hopefully after that they can sync to their hearts content and not stuff everything up again (which was why I unsynced google a while back - because the phone's list kept making stuff ups and scrambling and duplicating my computer contacts list). Am I the only one on the planet having this problem or is there someone else out there who has had it and solved it.

Without "pretending" to be yourself on the other phone (change settings) there's nothing else you can do.
iOS devices are meant to be single user and can't view iCloud.com the same way a Mac or PC can do.
You need to find a desktop or laptop machine (Mac or PC) to log in at iCloud.

Internal error while overwriting a charecteristic value in a class

Hi,
I am overwriting a charecteristic value in a class with a change master.
In CL02 I entered the class and the chnage number and entered in edit mode.
Then I selected the charecteristic view and selected the specific charectristic which value I need to overwrite and then clicked on "Overwrite Value" button.
Now the system has found an internal error: the required characteristic data was not found in characteristics maintenance.
Charecteristic data not found: Internal Error
Please tell me how can I get out of this error.

hi,
Please check whether the overwriting indicator check box in character tab is select or not.
It should be flagged.
Thanks & regards

Error while creating a overwrite method in class

Hello.
I'm trying to create an overwrite method in the class CL_HREIC_EECONTACT2SRCHV_IMPL but it just won't let me. Every time I try I get the message "The class has not yet been converted to the new class-local types" and I cannot create it.The thing is I've tried to create overwrite methods in diferent classes and sometimes I get the message and sometimes I don't, so it seems to depend on the class I'm trying to enhance, but I don't seem to be able to see any pattern in it.
Any help?
Thanks

Hello i had the same problem and i couldn't create enhancement pre or post methods.
The message was:
The class has not yet been converted to the new class-local types
Exception of class CX_ENH_OLD_LOCAL_CLASS_TYPES
This can be fixed by entering in SE24 transaction: Change class. From menu choose: Utilities -> Convert class-local types.
After that activate the class.
Now the class can be enhanced.
However this action requires change of the class

While downloading file to application server its overwriting the earlier fi

hi if i am using below code with date time stamp the file is downloaded to the application server correctly and each time i execut eht program a difference file is generated as date time stamp differs each time but
whne i remove the date time stamp ie sy-datum and sy-uzeit as we dont need to display the date time stamp with the file each time i execute the program a file is generated but it overwrites the ealier existing file please suggest as each time it shoul generate a new file....
Concatenate file name sy-datum sy-uzeit '.txt' into v_datetimefile
file on Appplication Server is selected

Hi,
first of all decide you have to overwrite the existing file or you want to create the new, i think the answer is there in your query itself, if you want to create new then concatenate the date and time, else don't do that.
below are the additions we can use while opening the data set.

Java.lang.Exception: Overwriting file

Hi All,
We are having some trouble with one of our interfaces where XI creates files in append mode and gets the filename from the Payload. From last couple of days, we are getting the below error for some reason. There are no other extra config setups in the file CC.
Any help to figure out the issue would be highly appreciated.
2008-08-12 14:04:56 Error Attempt to process file failed with java.lang.Exception: Overwriting file '

Thanks,

HI,
Once the file is appended, are you doing any further processing with file. because the error "not allowed due to configuration flag" and as youhave said its not for al the messages indicates to single point.
If the attempt to append the data in file if in case that is in processing and have locked with some other process flow marked after XI...
You may also need to look into the FTP log details...for more details

Finder not recognizing images properly (maybe overwriting new w/old)

I am experiencing an odd and troubling issue with my 15" MacBook Pro (running Mavericks). This occurred on Saturday and I thought I was crazy, but now it has occurred a 2nd time (sort of) and I'm alarmed that this is indicative of some major issues with my machine.
I'm working on a design project where I'm asked to create images for a mobile web page based on an old set of images. The new images need to be the exact same size, dimensions and filename as the old images so that the developer can swap them in easily.
For that reason, I've downloaded the old set of images to my desktop, created new images and am overwriting the old images. (I am saving Photoshop files for my new images in a Dropbox folder --- it is just the final exported files that I am writing to the folder saved on the desktop.)
So here I am, 99% finished and I go to look at the images in my finder. When I do, I see that the images displaying are the old, overwritten images instead of the new ones. There is no chance that I'm just not opening the correct folder or anything like that.
At first, I thought the files themselves were being overwritten by their old versions, but it appears that maybe it is just the finder thumbnail image that isn't displaying correctly. When I actually open the file using Preview, it opens the correct image (new, not old). You can see an example in the screenshot attached. The old image (thumbnail) is the moneyroll. The new image is the man and the woman.
At least the file itself appears to be correct, though I have no idea what happens if I zip these up and email them to another user on another computer. Still, I'm concerned that this suggests there is something really wrong with my machine.
By the way, the incident I referenced on Saturday was much more troubling. It was an issue where I worked on a Dreamweaver file for 2+ hours, saving constantly before closing it. The next time I opened it later that day, it opened the old version. I thought maybe it was due to me changing the name of a folder or something and wrote it off as human error. But given what is taking place today, I'm not 100% sure that is the case now.
Has anyone encountered this? Any insight would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

Yup. Thomas, have you tried replicating this in the other direction? In Terminal you can make a folder, chown it to root, get the permissions to the same as those of /Applications/Utilities, then as a normal user, try dragging something
into that folder? I have - this is replicable.
This is a real bug - worked ok until 10.7.2, then broke.
I have worked around this bug by changing the permissions on my Applications and Applications/Utilities folders so that my account has write permission there without authentication. But that not ideal from a security standpoint.
If any developer out there could fire a Radar report off on this, I'd be much obliged.

Overwrite data of master data infoobject

Hi all,
We have one master data infoobject ZASRYHMA. This infoobject does not have any attrbiutes but it has two compounding fields ZSITE and 0DISTR_CHAN.
Now customer has a requirement in which value of ZASRYHMA can change for a particular site and distribution channel. Generally if this value changes then system creates a new entry in tables /bic/pzasryhma and /bic/szasryhma.
What they want is to overwrite the existing entry.
Is it possible to achieve? It's a master data infoobject.
Please provide your kind help.
Regards,
Nilima Rodrigues

Hi,
You have three fields as key field in table as shown below along with values,
ZASRYHMA     ZSITE         0DISTR_CHAN
A-1                     B-1            C-1
A-2                     B-2            C-2
now if you want to change the value of say second row to
A-3                    B-2             C-2
right?
This is not possible just by overwritting in the info-object master data. Because these are key-fields system will treat A-3 as new value and create new entry, on top of this your A-2 master data values must have been used in transactional data.
Only way I can think of is to delete the transactional data where ever A-2 is used and then delete ZASRYHMA master data and then upload master data for ZASRYHMA with new values. And then transacional data.

Could not overwrite rtf file on report template in BI Publisher

Hi All,
I want to upload the rtf file for Bi publisher report. There is already an rtf file and I have edited the file and want to overwrite it . It shows that the only way is to delete the template and again
create the template by uploading the rtf file. I tried to overwrite the existing template with edited rtf but it shows the error. Is there any other options rather than deleting the template and uploading again for edited rtf file.

Hi,
it seems, sometimes everyone would like to draw a vertical reference line at the data date of a line chart, so I would like to bring this thread up again.
I assume, that there is no vertical reference line on line, bar or area charts, because of the following reason: The vertical reference line is made for X1Axis; that's why it's called X1ReferenceLine. Line, bar and area charts don't have any X1Axis, but a O1Axis (ordinal axis):
from Graph.dtd: "

<!ELEMENT O1Axis EMPTY >

<!ELEMENT X1Axis (ViewFormat?) >
There is no such thing as <!ELEMENT O1ReferenceLine EMPTY > in Graph.dtd.
Is there any other solution, why it seems not to be possible, to draw a vertical reference line on line charts?
Kind regards,
Tobias
ps: Regarding the difference between X-Axis and ordinal axis, I take the explanation from http://goorman.free.fr/ZedGraph/zedgraph.org/wiki/index1240.html?title=What_does_%27Ordinal%27_mean%3F .

Data overwriting n not getting displayed in seperate ro

Hi Experts,
I have a very simple doubt here.
I have two popups with me. Say popup1 and popup2. Both are tables.
popup2 opens through popup1. I have some data in popup2 which i have to pass to popup1. I select one row in popup2 and pass the same to popup1 on the click of button "ok". Now if I again select another row from popup2 and press the button "ok". the new value overwrites the old value in pupup1.
I need the new value from popup2 to be displayed in a new row in popup1 n no overwriting should happen.
In short, the data in popup1 coming from popup2 is not getting poplutaed in seperate rows, instead it is overwriting the previous entry.
Please suggest me complete code to iterate the data in different rows or else letme know if i have to make changes in some property of my tables in popup.
Best Regards,
Kaustubh

Hi Kausthab,
you want to get the details or rows selected in the popup2 to popup1 right?
Get the current row from the popup2 and store it in another(say Node1) node while clicking ok.
write another piece of code to get the size of the Node1. Once you got the size then loop that and create element for the popup1 table node.
Simple.
I think this is your problem

How do I overwrite iCloud address book with local mac one?

When I first got 10.7, I had turned on Google sync in address book. Every person with a prefix or suffix on their name ended up with lots of extra cards (where the suffix became the last name, etc). After migrating my MobileMe to iCloud, I cleaned these out in my local address book app. They are still showing up in my iCloud account and iPhone, however.
How do I either reset the iCloud address book or force the sync from my desktop to overwrite the iCloud service's contents?
Cheers
J

Pull up your iCloud account on the Internet... log in... and then delete all of your contacts from Contacts. Then turn on your iCloud sync on your computer (or iPhone)... it will ask you if you want to 'merge' your contacts... say 'yes'... and viola, your contacts from your computer have been merged with you contacts from iCloud (which was empty)... so now your iCloud Contacts should reflect exactly what was on your computer (or iPhone).

MultiProvider report not functioning - overwriting protected field

Hello,
I have a multiprovider that combines data from the Sales Overview cube (0SD_C03) with a custom plan cube (data from COPA and SIS). In writing queries off of the (active) multiprovider, short dumps occur except when only running against one infoprovider. In other words, if the query is restricted to only show Sales data (0SD_C03), it works fine. If the query is restricted to only show Plan data (custom plan cube), then it works fine. However, the intersection of the two does not work - which is the entire functionality of the multiprovider (a join).
I've cut the query back to the very basics: Fiscal Year and one Key Figure (that is present in both source infocubes).   Without specifying or splitting out the InfoProviders, it should combine the data (total the two), but instead creates a short dump. Using a structure to split Actuals from Plan also results the short dump. The only way to get the report to actually execute and return is to restrict it to just one InfoProvider. I tried copying the MultiProvider and starting over, but that did not improve the situation. The failure occurs after the variable screen has been filled in. (Also tried w/out variables.)
Using LISTCUBE, the data is found in a single execution (no filter applied to 0INFOPROV) and splits out to the two infoproviders w/ approp. fiscal year and Key Figure totals. So there seems to be something at the reporting layer malfunctioning.
Here's the ST22 short dump:
Does anyone have any ideas?
