Duplicity: include and exclude files

I think I'm missing something about duplicity's include/exclude mechanism.
1) This might be obvious but still... Where is the difference whether I use --exclude-filelist or --include-filelist? A dry-run showed the exact same size for my backup.
2) Using --exclude-globbing-filelist and these lines will not backup any txt files:
+ /home/m/exclude/*.txt
- /home/m/exclude/
Yet, these lines will backup arch.txt:
+ /home/m/exclude/arch.txt
- /home/m/exclude/
Shouldn't "*.txt" expand to "arch.txt"?

Hi yehiel,
1. It is clear that the normal sql statement
   won't work in the way we won't.
2. Thats why, some extra logic needs to be applied.
   As already mentioned,
   The RANGE for EXCLUDE
   must be filled with some DUMMY Data.
  Just write this CODE
  JUST BEFORE CALLING THE SQL.
IF z_stat_eIS INITIAL.
  z_stat_e-sign = 'I'.
  z_stat_e-option = 'EQ'.
  z_stat_e-low  = 'XXX'.
  z_stat_e-high = 'XXX'.
  APPEND z_stat_e.
ENDIF.
HOPE THIS WORKS.
Regards,
Amit M.

  • Package comments and excluded files

    I have an ant target to generate javadoc for a whole package structure minus one sub-package and one class, plus a few classes from another package:
      <target name="doc">
        <mkdir dir="${build}/docs/api"/>
        <javadoc destdir="${build}/docs/api/"
          use="true"
          windowtitle="Public API">
          <classpath>
            <path refid="3rdparty.jar.path"/>
          </classpath>
          <fileset dir="${build}">
            <include name="com/company/pkg1/**"/>
            <exclude name="com/company/pkg1/util/**"/>
            <exclude name="com/company/pkg1/server/ServiceMBean.java"/>
            <include name="com/company/pkg2/CustomerReport.java"/>
            <include name="com/company/pkg2/DeprecatedReport.java"/>
            <include name="com/company/pkg2/Report.java"/>
            <include name="com/company/pkg2/TagReport.java"/>
          </fileset>
        </javadoc>
      </target>This worked fine until I started including package.html files for package documentation. Running this with package.html in com/company/pkg1 gives the following error:
    javadoc: Illegal package name: "C:\abc\def\com\company\pkg1\package.html"
    After playing around, I found that if I shift the 3 <include> and <exclude> lines referring to pkg1 out of the <fileset> tag and into a <packageset> tag, then the package comments work. However, then the exclude for the individual java class (ServiceMBean.java) does not work. Likewise, shifting the file exclude back to the fileset tag still does not exclude it.
    It seems that I must decide whether to have package comments or the ability to exclude individual files, but not both. Is there any way around this?

    Well, it is a known issue. And actually, issue is with DBMS_METADATA, not with DATAPUMP, which simply uses DBMS_METADATA:

  • During MRP run unwanted plant and storage location include and exclude

    Hi There,
    During MRP run how to include and exclude the unwanted plant and storage location pls let me know the required configuration settings.
    Thanks in advance.

    HI,
    To control whether a particular storage location will be included or excluded from the MRP run.  (MD02/MD41).
    To exclude it from MRP run :-
    OMIR - Define storage location MRP per plant
    Put the MRP ind. as.         1 - storage location stock excluded for MRP
    To include it from MRP run:-
    OMIR - Define storage location MRP per plant
    Put the MRP ind. as.      space - storage location stock also planned at plant level and save it
    Next go to transaction MM01 - tick only view MRP 2
    Key in Plant and Storage Location
    Look at the Storage Location MRP section
    change the SLoc MRP indicator to space  and save it
    MMD1 - Create MRP Profile - MRP profile is a useful entry aid and makes it easier to manage MRP data.
    You define which fields are filled with values when MRP data is entered in the material master record, which of these values can be overwritten and which not.   You use the information stored in a profile is standard information that is needed again and again in similar constellations when material master records are maintained.

  • Cannot Include and exclude selectiion on hierarchy node in the Filter area

    Hi,
    When i open the query and execute it. and select the filter area for hierarchy nodes. The include and exclude selection is disabled in 3.5x analyzer. We are using BI 7.0 with SP 12. we just upgraded.
    Can you please help. is this functionality not available?
    Regards,

    Hi Rob, you can do that for the query (the exclude selection) on the Query Designer. But its not recomended on performance point of view.
    hope this helps

  • Regular Expressions, include and exclude xml-files

    Hi!
    I have a javaprogram that should read xml-files from a directory. The program could contain several types of files but it should only read files with a certain pattern.
    The file names will look like this:
    "resultset_27_23.xml"
    where the numbers will change, but the rest of the file name is the same (resultset_XX_XX.xml).
    But in the same directory it will also be files with the following pattern:
    "resultset_27_23_attachment1.xml"
    Here, the numbers could change in the in the same way as the files above, and the number after the text (attachment) could also differ from file to file.Those files should not be read by the program.
    I have tried to write a regular expression pattern that only reads the first file types, and exlcudes the other ones, but it won�t work.
    Does anyone have a solution to my problem? It is possible to use either just one pattern, or two patterns; one for the files that should be included, and one for the files that should be excluded.

    So you only want files that match resultset_XX_XX.xml? Will the numbers always be two digits each? Assuming so:
    "^resultset_\\d\\d_\\d\\d.xml$"Depending which methods you use, the ^ and $ may or may not be necessary.
    If that's not what you meant, please clarify.

  • How to include and exclude external infoobject values in a hierarchy

    Hello experts,
    I'm working with hierarchies and the problem I have is that I don´t know how to include nor exclude a value in the definition of the hierarchy.
    For example, I want to show in a query some cost elements related to some functional areas, so I've created a hierarchy for md funcional area. But I don't want to show every cost element related to one functional area but only some of them. I've defined 0costelmnt as a external characteristic for 0func_area infoobject so that I can specify in the hierarchy the cost elements I want to show. But it doesn´t work, in the report all cost elements are showed. How can I specify the ones I want to show?
    thank you very much.

    Any ideas please?

  • Inconsistency between get-childitem -include and -exclude parameters

    Hi,
    Powershell 2.0
    Does anyone else consider this a minor design bug in the Get-ChildItem command?  
    # create dummy files
    "a","b","c" | % {$null | out-file "c:\temp\$_.txt"}
    # this "fails", returns nothing
    get-childitem c:\temp -include a*,b*
    # this "works", returns desired files
    get-childitem c:\temp\* -include a*,b*
    # this "works", excludes undesired files
    get-childitem c:\temp -exclude a*,b*
    # this "fails", excludes undesired files BUT RECURSES sub-directories
    get-childitem c:\temp\* -exclude a*,b*
    I'm writing a wrapper script around the GCI cmdlet, but the inconsistency between the two parameters is problematic.  My end user will surely just type a path for the path parameter, then wonder why -include returned nothing.  I can't unconditionally
    add an asterisk to the path parameter, since that messes up the exclude output.
    I'm just wondering why Microsoft didn't make the parameter interaction consistent???  
    # includes desired files in the specified path
    get-childitem -path c:\temp -include a*,b*
    # excludes undesired files in the specified path
    get-childitem -path c:\temp -exclude a*,b*
    # combine both options
    get-childitem -path c:\temp -include a*,b* -exclude *.log,*.tmp
    # same as above, the asterisk doesn't matter
    get-childitem -path c:\temp\* -include a*,b*
    get-childitem -path c:\temp\* -exclude a*,b*
    get-childitem -path c:\temp\* -include a*,b* -exclude *.log,*.tmp
    # same as above, but explicitly recurse if that's what you want
    get-childitem -path c:\temp\* -include a*,b* -recurse
    get-childitem -path c:\temp\* -exclude a*,b* -recurse
    get-childitem -path c:\temp\* -include a*,b* -exclude *.log,*tmp -recurse
    If I execute the "naked" get-childitem command, the asterisk doesn't matter...
    # same results
    get-childitem c:\temp
    get-chileitem c:\temp\*
    If this isn't considered a bug, can you explain why the inconsistency between the two parameters when combined with the -path parameter?
    Thanks,
    Scott

    The Get-ChildItem cmdlet syntax is horrific for advanced use. It's not a bug in the classic sense, so you shouldn't call it that. However, feel free to call it awful, ugly, disastrous, or any other deprecatory adjective you like - it really is
    nasty.
    Get-ChildItem's unusual behavior is rooted in one of the more 'intense' dialogues between developers and users in the beta period. Here's how I recall it working out; some details are a bit fuzzy for me at this point.
    Get-ChildItem's original design was as a tool for enumerating items in a namespace -
    similar to but not equivalent to dir and
    ls. The syntax and usage was going to conform to standard PowerShell (Monad at the time) guidelines.
    In a nutshell, what this means is that the Path parameter would have truly just meant Path - it would not have been usable as a combination path specification and result filter, which it is now. In other words
    (1) dir c:\temp
    means you wanted to return children of the container c:\temp
    (2) dir c:\temp\*
    means you wanted to return children of all containers inside
    c:\temp. With (2), you would never get c:\tmp\a.txt returned, since a.txt is not a container.
    There are reasons that this was a good idea. The parameter names and filtering behavior was consistent with the evolving PowerShell design standards, and best of all the tool would be straightforward to stub in for use by namespace
    providers consistently.
    However, this produced a lot of heated discussion. A rational, orthogonal tool would not allow the convenience we get with the dir command for doing things like this:
    (3) dir c:\tmp\a*.txt
    Possibly more important was the "crash" factor.  It's so instinctive for admins to do things like (3) that our fingers do the typing when we list directories, and the instant failure or worse, weird, dissonant output we would get with a more pure Path
    parameter is exactly like slamming into a brick wall.
    At this point, I get a little fuzzy about the details, but I believe the Get-ChildItem syntax was settled on as a compromise that wouldn't derail people expecting files when they do (3), but would still allow more complex use.  I think that this
    is done essentially by treating all files as though they are containers for themselves. This saves a lot of pain in basic use, but introduces other pain for advanced use.
    This may shed some light on why the tool is a bit twisted, but it doesn't do a lot to help with your particular wrapping problem. You'll almost certainly need to do some more complicated things in attempting to wrap up Get-ChildItem. Can you describe some
    details of what your intent is with the wrapper? What kind of searches by what kind of users, maybe? With those details, it's likely people can point out some specific approaches that can give more consistent results.

  • Xsl:include and WAR Files

              We are trying to deploy our application using WAR file approach. We are using
              Weblogic 6.0 SP2 All our JSP and servlets are working fine.
              We have our reports generated based on XSL files. XSL files are put into the war
              file.
              In my transformation servlet, I am loading the original xsl file by calling getResourceAsStream(xslFileName);
              During the xsl transformation if we have any includes for another xsl file, I
              am getting an exception
              java.net.MalformedURLException: no protocol: myIncluded.xsl
              Basically in my original XSL file I have the following line
              <xsl:include href="myIncluded.xsl" />
              Could somebody tell me what I should doing to get rid off this exception.
              Thanks in advance
              SK
              

    The href attribute needs a protocal to determin what kind of uri it is dealing with file,http, etc..
    try changing this
    <xsl:include href="myIncluded.xsl" />to this
    <xsl:include href="file://./myIncluded.xsl" />
    or this
    <xsl:include href="file://myIncluded.xsl" />
    I'm not sure how this plays out seeing how your using the getResourceAsStream method. I dont know if getting a resource this way will allow the xsl processor to resolve the url correctly or not. You may have to use a jar protocal or something like that to get it to work. You may even need to specify the absolute url to the include file.

  • Using USMT to manually backup to USBHD and Keeping File Dates

    I am currently using USMT as a method of backing up user data in a corporate environment before a migration to windows 7.  in out process we are just using the tool to perform the backup portion and calling USMT from a batch file manually.  We
    are not using the loadstate function as we like to keep the new user profiles clean and avoid loading setting that are not required, and in our batch file i have set the "/nocompress" option so scanstate.exe creates a folder structure inthe backup
    store folder that gets created on our External usbhd's.  This process is working well for us as we can quickly see what data was backed up and only copy back the data needed.  The only issue is the files dates on all data is set to the time and date
    that scanstate.exe is run and we would like to have the dates saved with the files as using have requested this. (even a manual copy and paste will keep the date).  I have looked into the "includeAttributes" function but when i attempt to use
    this any data that would have been backed up before making the change is now skipped completely.  The documentation on the use of this function i find minimal and i also have not found much help searching message boards.  I am using MigDocs.xml,
    MigApp.xml, and a custom.xml that has some custom includes and excludes.  If someone can give me some help or point me to somewhere i can get better info with saving file dates using USMT that would be appreciated.
    thanks.

    Thank you for your reply, but I have read that thread many times as it seems to be the only one I can find that references the "includeAttributes" function. I have attempted to use the feature as described but can not get it to function. Any file
    <pattern type> listed in the <objectset> </objectset> area are skipped entirely when using it.  If I set the <includeAttributes attributes="Timefields"> back to the standard <include> the data will backup again
    but with date set to time scanstate.exe was run. I can include my custom.xml for reference.  I'm hopeing that someone can post a working example that I can reference to figure out what I'm doing wrong. 
    Thanks.

  • USMT - exclude folder c:\Notes but include some specific files in it

    Hi,
    my name is Paul, I live in Belgium and I'm fairly new to MDT and USMT. We're doing some testing because we want to implement LTI deployments. Since two weeks I'm testing USMT5. I created a Capture User Data Task Sequence and it worked great. All non-windows
    folders in the C-drive were copied, all Favorites etc. Even the restore worked! So I was happy. :-) But one non-windows folder in the C:-drive is C:\Notes. This folder is almost 1GB and I only need four small files. I read all information I could find on the
    internet but I didn't find any information or examples for my case. Most examples include a folder and exclude some files in it, but I want it the other way around !
    Could you help me? So I want to exclude c:\Notes (and all the subfolders) and include c:\Notes\Data\names.nsf, c:\Notes\Data\bookmark.nsf, c:\Notes\notes.ini and c:\Notes\Data\username.id .
    This is one of the versions I tried.

    I believe the XML is case-sensitive, so try <exclude> instead of <Exclude>. Or you could try putting the exclude block after the include block.

  • Suppressing directories and .css files for excluded FrameMaker .fm files?

    The source for this project I recently inherited is in FrameMaker. I noticed that the WebHelp output included the PDF title page (Title.fm in FM), so I checked the Excluded Unreferenced Topics from Output and Exclude Unreferenced boxes.
    The Title.fm file went away, but I'm still getting the Title directory, which contains only Title.css. Is there some way to suppress those?

    Hi Jayashree
    Please check this FM, SUBST_GET_FILE_LIST. Pass the file path and file name, if it returns an entry in table FILE_LIST, then the filename and path are valid.
    Hope this helps !

  • Hyperlinks to XLS, DOC, and PDF files that are included in a .chm file work intermittently.

    SUMMARY
    Hyperlinks to XLS, DOC, and PDF files that are included in a
    .chm file (and the Baggage Files) only work intermittently. The
    only solution appears to be deleting the Temporary Internet Files.
    PROBLEM
    1. I place the XLS, DOC, or PDF file in the Windows
    sub-directory that corresponds to the RoboHelp project sub-folder
    where the topic in which I’ll place the hyperlink exists.
    2. I open the help project in RoboHelp HTML.
    3. I right-click on the project’s Baggage Files
    sub-folder that corresponds to the Windows sub-directory in which I
    placed the XLS, DOC, or PDF file (in step 1).
    4. I import the XLS, DOC, or PDF file.
    5. I open the topic in which I’m going to place the
    hyperlink in the WYSIWYG editor.
    6. I “drag and drop” the Baggage File into the
    topic (in the WYSIWYG editor) to create a link to it.
    7. I save the changes and then generate HTML (.chm) help.
    8. I open the .chm file and click the hyperlink. The XLS,
    DOC, or PDF file may or may not open.
    9. When the hyperlink works correctly, for DOC and XLS files,
    a “File Download – Security Warning” dialog box
    appears asking, “Do you want to open or save this
    file?”. The buttons that are available are
    “Open”, “Save”, and “Cancel”.
    These buttons work then as one would expect. (When the hyperlink
    works correctly for a PDF file, it simply opens the PDF file in a
    new window; there’s no prompt to save, open, or cancel.)
    10. When a hyperlink does NOT work, for DOC, XLS, and PDF
    files, no dialog box or other visual message is displayed. Instead,
    the sound that is associated with the “Exclamation”
    program event is played (the “Windows XP
    Exclamation.wav” file is the WinXP default).
    Other Notes:
    - The hyperlinks ALWAYS work when I view a topic using the
    “View Selected Item” function (Ctrl+W) in the RoboHelp
    HTML project.
    - Once a hyperlink stops working, it will not start working
    again until I delete all the Temporary Internet Files.
    - A hyperlink will stop working even if Internet Explorer
    (iexplore.exe) is closed the entire time.
    WORKAROUND
    Through trial and error, I have discovered that if a
    hyperlink stops working, I can get it to work again using the
    following steps:
    1. Leave the .chm file open.
    2. Open Internet Explorer.
    3. Click Tools>Internet Options….
    4. From the “Internet Options” dialog box, select
    the “General” tab.
    5. Under the “Temporary Internet Files” section,
    click the “Delete Files…” button.
    6. From the “Delete Files” dialog box, select
    “Delete all offline content” and then click
    “OK”. The files are deleted and the “Delete
    Files” dialog box closes.
    7. Click “OK” to close the “Internet
    Options” dialog box.
    8. Without closing Internet Explorer and without re-starting
    the .chm file, all the hyperlinks that didn’t work before
    will now work.
    GENERAL SYSTEM INFORMATION
    - Windows XP Pro, SP2
    - Internet Explorer 6.0.2900.2180
    - RoboHelp X5, 5.0.2 Build 801
    - HTML (.chm) help project files exist on my local machine
    - HTML (.chm) help file is run from my local machine
    - Project is under RoboSource version control
    TEMPORARY INTERNET SETTINGS
    - “Check for newer versions of stored pages” is
    set to “Automatically”
    - “Current location” for the Temporary Internet
    files folder is set to “C:\Documents and Settings\My
    Username\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\”
    - “Amount of disk space to use” is set to
    “594” MB
    “View Files…”
    - An XLS or DOC file will be listed here if I click its
    hyperlink and then click either “Open” or
    “Save” from the “File Download – Security
    Warning” dialog box.
    - A file will appear here even if I click “Save”
    and then click “Cancel” from the subsequent “Save
    As” dialog box.
    - If I click “Cancel” from the “File
    Download – Security Warning” dialog box, the file does
    not appear in the Temporary Internet Files folder.
    - When a file does appear in the Temporary Internet Files
    folder, its Internet Address is displayed similar to the following:
    “ms-its:C:\PrimaryProjectFolder\ProjectName.chm::/SubFolderName/FileName.xls”
    “View Objects…”
    Here’s a list of all the program files that appear:
    - “Microsoft Office Template and Media Control”
    (Last Accessed 12/13/06) (Version 12,0,6024,0)
    - “Shockwave ActiveX Control” (Last Accessed
    12/14/06) (Version 10,1,4,20)

    - “Windows Genuine Advantage Validation Tool”
    (Last Accessed 12/14/06) (Version 1,5,722,0)
    - “WUWebControl Class” (Last Accessed 12/13/06)
    (Version 5,8,0,2469)
    Today is 12/18/06 so the only program file that is listed as
    having been “Last Accessed” today is the
    “Shockwave Flash Object”.
    REQUEST FOR HELP
    I really want to include certain PDF, DOC, and XLS files in
    their native format in a .chm file. However, I need a better
    solution to my problem than the one I discovered. What I really
    want is to avoid the entire problem altogether.
    Have anyone seen this before or have any suggestions?

    You wont be able to do that. The embedded objects would appear as images only.
