Does File Delivery support files to be stored in more than one format?

Hi All,
Can we have internal delivery channel configured to store files in more than one format.
For eg. We want the files to be stored simultaneously in both xml and txt format as per requirement. Is this possible in Oracle 10g B2B.

No, it won't be possible. At a time only one file would be written.
You may write a utility which may poll the incoming directory (where Oracle B2B puts the file) and write messages in required formats in required directories.
Regards,
Anuj

  • JNDI : connection problem while storing data more than one records

    Hi Subin,
    You can try couple of things.
    If your data is less than 32767, you can pass it to stored procedure and change it to clob type like
    PROCEDURE CLOBQUERY
         Param     IN     CLOB,
    and you can call Procedure
    EXECUTE CLOBQUERY '[Param.1]'
    If your data is around than 1000000(32767*32), you can break the data in length of 32767 and pass it to param 1 to 32 like
    EXECUTE CLOBQUERY '[Param.1][Param.2][Param.3]..[Param.32]'
    Finally you can try to update jdbc drive.

  • Why does the "A" button go inactive when I highlight more than one name to start a group chat?

    I can't consistently start a group chat!  Help!  Sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't.

    Hi,
    AIM, Jabber, MSN (Windows Live), and Yahoo are the major IM services.
    AIM, MSN and Yahoo operate through their own Central server where you have to Login with a Name that is valid with that server.
    Jabber is a collection of Public and private servers which then are linked together via what is called Federation.
    AIM issue (or allow you to register) names directly and through several agreements with ISP and other services.
    Apple has one of these Agreements and Names Ending in @Mac.com and the MobileMe @Me.com names are Valid AIM Screen Names.
    AIM Names themselves tend to be just plain names where as others are or look like emails.
    Anyone of these three Names would be considered to be an "AIM" Buddy list in iChat as it logs in to the AIM Server.
    Google run the GoogleTalk service to allow Chats through their Web Mail Page.
    This is a Jabber server.
    Facebook seem to run a similar type of service.
    People and organisations that run Jabber servers can elect to run what are called Transports as well.
    These allow links to the other major services.
    An AIM transport would allow them to Add AIM buddies to their List and so on.
    iChat can also log in to Jabber servers including the GoogleTalk one
    The AIM App for PCs which is up to version 7.2.something can also allow people to Add their Facebook and Google Buddies  (sort of Reverse Transport if you like).
    I haven't downloaded the latest AIM for Mac version to see if it does the same.
    The short answer then is that all the major players are beginning to allow the adding of Buddies from other services.
    This is further complicated or involved, in that the major Social sites are also allowing people to link various Buddy lists in to one overall list.
    This tend to mean that if you link Facebook with Google Buddies and AIM Buddies there appears to be some sort of "Feedback" that allows those names to then appear in your AIM Buddy list.
    It does seem to somewhat fall down when you try and do Group Chats due to the different ways the major services conduct these chats.

    - NO - kind of but not really - take a class - watch some basic videos on you tube...
    - YES - multicam is excellent
    - YES - you can switch it off - but you probably won't when you get used to it - after about 5 days
    - YES - very much so in the browser where it counts
    - YES... I think.
    Really go watch some basic entry level FCP X vids - the answers are all there. I recommend watching the latest from 2014 on YouTube. There are plenty.

  • Why does FireFox truncate part of an E-mail of more than one page when I try to print it out? How can I sent an E-mail blaet to several but only show one name o

    When I try to print out an E-mail that is longer than one page, part of the 2nd page is truncated. I then have to go to Safari to print out the entire E-mail without part of it being truncated.
    When I have multiple E-mail addresses on a single E-mail, how can I send the E-mail so that each recipient only sees his/her name and E-mail address rather than everyone else that the E-mail is addressed to?
    Please advise.
    Thank you.
    Bill Leete

    Some style rules that Firefox handles well on the screen can cause this problem. Many email sites have a print button which simplifies the message format and removes navigation elements, etc., and Firefox generally handles print-formatted pages better. If your email site doesn't have print-formatted pages or those do not print, a "hack" is to select the text you want to print and then choose the Selection option in the print dialog.
    To hide email addresses from recipients, you need to place them in the BCC field. What do you put in the TO field in that case? You can use your own address.

  • How to Include more than one jar files

    My application uses more than one jar files. And all the jar files i am using are signed. when i include the jar files, i am including them in the resources section of the ".jnlp" file . The section of code looks like this:
    <resources>

    <jar href="crimson.jar"/>

    The deployment of the application is successful. The jar file - "utestfw.jar" contains the application main class when the application is launched it works, but when i choose the feature which involves the classes of either "crimson.jar" or "jaxp.jar" , the application terminates and the webstart console and the application is closed automatically. Am i wrong in adding the jar files? what is the way to add more than one jar files to the ".jnlp" file.

  • Equium L40 - internet does not work if I open more than one website

    I have an Equium L40-10X and although the system runs fine, it does not like the internet. If I open more than one website, a little box comes up saying that Internet Explorer has incurred a problem and that it must be restarted. This is becoming excruciatingly annoying if I am in the middle of something important and I lose the website that I was on!
    Especially with me going off to uni soon too! It especially will refuse to work if I need to download something e.g. I recently bought an Apple iPod Nano, and I needed iTunes in order for me to put music on it, but as soon as it starts the download, the "internet has stopped working" box pops up and I have to start everything again, but instead of it working -it simply does not!
    This is becoming an often occurrence, and it makes me incredibly stressed!
    Please help.

    Hi
    Do you always use the up to date windows OS?
    Such errors appear if the registry is dirty and the WinOS was not updated!
    Update the Windows on the Microsoft page to the latest state!!
    Furthermore you should clean the registry using the freeware tool called CCleaner. Its nice!
    So finally one hint;
    You can access the internet not only with Microsoft Internet Explorer but also with another internet browser like for example Firefox.
    I recommend checking such possibility.

  • Why does iPhoto (9.0/11) not retain the Event name when exporting more than one event? (using File - Export - Album name with number).

    Why does iPhoto (9.0/11) not retain the Event name when exporting more than one event? (using File -> Export -> Album name with number).
    Exporting a single Event retains the Event name which is what I'd expect. But highlighting more than one event and exporting it renames the images to Events 001.JPG, Event 002.JPG etc.
    I was recently on holidays and had all my events nicely split on Dad's computer but when I went to export it I couldn't retain any of this information. Now I have to replicate this all again on my computer.
    It wasn't possible to export the entire library as the external drive was fat32 format an I didn't want all of it. It would be nice to export a bunch of events to someone and have it retain the name.
    Does anyone have a work around or will this be fixed at some point by Apple?

  • If I have a pic in more than one album, does iPhoto make more than one copy of that pic?  When I search the file name on finder, it seems to be showing one copy of that file for every album it's in.

    If I have a pic in more than one album, does iPhoto make more than one copy of that pic?  When I search the file name on finder, it seems to be showing one copy of that file for every album it's in.

    No it doesn't. Albums simply reference the photos in the Library. A single shot can be in 100 albus and use no extra disk space at all.
    If you have the same shot in two Events then yes, the file is duplicated.
    When I search the file name on finder, it seems to be showing one copy of that file for every album it's in.
    The Finder doesn't really understand the iPhoto Library. It's quite possible for the iPhoto Library to contain many files with the same name. The Library also contains different versions of the same shot - thumbnail, originals and edited version. This is normal.

  • File open on more than one computer at a time

    I maintain a network of four Macs (Cube, G4 Tower, Mini, and G5 Tower) all running OS 10.4.11. Recently two people working on the network discovered that they both had a certain file open at the same time. In order to determine the extent of the problem, on each computer I created and kept open a TextEdit file. I then attempted to open each TextEdit file from the three computers on which the file was not stored. To my dismay I received no error or warning message of any sort. I was able to open all four files on all four computers at the same time!
    Each of the computers has a single user, and each computer is logged into the other computers as the user on that computer (i.e., each guest is logged in as the host). I wonder if that might be the source of the trouble.
    I never noticed any file being open on more than one computer at a time when all the computers were running 10.3.9, only after I upgraded to 10.4.
    Any ideas?

    This is absolutely standard behavior and I don't expect this to change any time soon.
    Let me try to explain based on a model of a file stored on Server1 and being accessed by Client1 and Client2:
    Here's what's happening:
    Client1 connects to the server and opens the file for reading.
    Client1 reads the file and closes it
    Client2 connects to the server and opens the file for reading.
    Client2 reads the file and closes it
    Since Client1 closed the file there's nothing to indicate to Client2 that the document is in use anywhere else because, in fact, it isn't.
    There's nothing on the server that knows whether Client1 opened the file to look at it, to copy it, to back it up to some other media or to actually edit it. It is only that last step that should prevent another client from opening the file.
    If you think about it, that makes perfect sense. If you copy the file over the network to Client1 you do not want the server to think that Client1 has an exclusive hold on that file and to prevent Client2 from opening it.
    The only time the file is in use is a) when the file is being read, and b) when the file is being saved. When it's just being viewed the client doesn't have an active hold on the file.
    The actual fix here is for the application to set a flag that the file is in use and for the server to honor that flag. It's supported by the networking protocols but it's rarely implemented in applications except those that expect a multi-user setup.

  • Can not color label more than one file at a time

    Hi,
    I've had this problem since 10.6.6-ish, i can not color label more than one file at a time in the Finder.
    Wether i select two, twenty or twohundred only one file gets color labeled.
    It doesn't seem to matter if i assign a color label through the File menu or right click > label.
    Figured a re-install might fix this but it hasn't (even a clean install without restoring any kind of backup).
    Does anyone else have this issue and/or a fix for it?
    Thanks,

  • How do I stop more than one user opening the same file?

    I'm about to install Lion Server and we're concerned that more than one person will be able to open the same file at the same time. Can this be prevented? If not it seems to make the concept of a server pointless?
    Any help appreciated. Already annoyed I have to phone and order 10.7 Server as it's no longer on the App Store. Can't run 10.8 as the Mac Pro is too old and Apple have cut us off.

    The file server software supports file locking, but multiple file access is application-dependent. In some cases it's entirely valid for multiple users to access the same file. It's up to the application to allow or deny this.
    Ordinarily, if an application requires exclusive access it should flag the file accordingly when it opens the file. This will prevent other users from opening the file. However, it's not up to the server to do this.

  • How to view more than one file at a time in CS4?

    With OS 10.5, and a brand new CS4 Photoshop, I can open many Photoshop files at a time, but can only view one at a time. Must choose one at a time from the "tab". I need to have more than one picture open and showing at a time to work on them. How can I do that? What have I missed? Who can help? Thanks!

    "Here's the smart way for all of you on macs. Set up Exposé and a keystroke for 'Application windows'. Then with the press of a single key you can visualize, and swap between documents very easily. By I single keystroke I mean something like Right Control.
    Tabbed documents have hardly any genuine advantages for mac users, yet another example of interface decisions in the stupid direction."
    This is what I've been saying since I first saw the tabbed view in the new CS4.  On the Mac, tabbed view is a big step backwards as it actually breaks the superior Expose' method of viewing multiple windows and also switching among them.  I would also add that Control/Tab for non-tabbed windows is actually slightly faster than when they are tabbed.  So for the mac, I only needed a minute to decide that the tabbed view was merely change for the sake of change.  There are also operations that I do where I have to recreate a piece of art to match an existing piece.  In those situations I always have the original right next to the the new image.  Tabbed view destroys this as well.  So I don't use it.
    For the PC, tabbed views is possibly a tiny step forward, but it's such a small step that I'm not sure if I prefer to use tabs, or have that small amount of screen space that the tabs use.  There was no previously existing "good" method of viewing and moving among multiple windows of a single application on the PC and therefore, tabs might be a small improvement.  Unfortunately though it does seem that in order to bring us tabbed views in CS4, Adobe had to slightly 'break' the regular floating windows view.  On the PC the documents will actually float above the toolbars, palettes,etc making it very difficult to use if not impossible.  So, if you don't like using tabs, then you are really gonna suffer with non-tabbed view or suffer with the tabbed view.  On the Mac, it's the opposite problem.  Documents actually float up and underneath the top toolbar, covering the "close, maximize, minimize" buttons.  Generally I would say that Adobe has created a mess when the best solution was obvious.  Adobe should have copied the expose' method for it's CS4 suite.  Hopefully they will have enough feedback with CS4 to see the light and change it for CS5.  I see that Microsoft has mouse software that has already done just that on the PC, and there are a handful of independent efforts attempting to come up with something like expose' but generally with far less elegant and less "perfect" results.
