Dynamic Import File Path

Hi All,
Please help me how to do dynamic import file path since we have multiple environment where our reports will be migrated.
Thanks

Hi,
the link is helpful but it still throws an error from my end . . .
I set the xdo.cfg to
<config version="1.0.0" xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/oxp/config/">
<properties>
<property name="xslt.FILE_LOCATION">D:\OraHome_1\xmlp\XMLP\Reports\Reports</property>
</properties>
</config>
and my import file is
<?import:file://${FILE_LOCATION}/Global_Logo/Global_Logo.rtf?>
<?import:file://${FILE_LOCATION}/Highlights/Highlights.rtf?>
<?import:file://${FILE_LOCATION}/Benefit/Benefit.rtf?>
in my main template it calls 3 sub templates . . .
even I put a single quote in the 'D:\OraHome_1\xmlp\XMLP\Reports\Reports' in the xdo.cfg, I still get the error

Dynamic Save File Path

Hey Everyone,
So I deal with a lot of files each day that need to be saved according to their lead code, meaning that there is a folder that holds thousands of sub folders that have the same name as this lead code on a server.
So since I have the lead code in the file name I'm trying to use that in conjunction with the file path to tell illustrator where to save it with Javascript. Also the idea of a dynamic save path is awesome to me.
Here's what I've got so far, it's not working yet but I feel like I'm close.
Dynamic Save Path////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
#target illustrator
var sourceDoc = app.activeDocument;
var sourceName =sourceDoc.name;
var customerNum = sourceName.substring(0, sourceName.length - 8)
    customerNum
    sourceName = sourceName.substring(0, sourceName.length - 3)
//alert(sourceName)
alert(customerNum + " Customer # saved")
alert(sourceName + " File name saved") //end
var doc = app.activeDocument;
var doc_Path = File("I:\GRAPHICS"+ "/" + customerNum);
var substituir_Path = doc_Path+ "/" + customerNum;
//alert("sourceName: "+sourceName+"\nsourceDoc_Path: "+doc_Path+"\nsubstituir_Path: "+substituir_Path);
function SaveFileAsFXG (dest) {
    if ( app.documents.length > 0 ) {
        var saveOptions = new FXGSaveOptions();
        var fxgDoc = new File(dest);
        app.activeDocument.saveAs( fxgDoc, saveOptions );
var destFilePath = substituir_Path;
SaveFileAsFXG (destFilePath);
alert("done!") //end

I figured it out, I had it removing too many characters. I can get away with hardcoding this in my script because of how we name files where I work. also I realized I had a left over part in there that I didn't need.
I also got rid of the dividers to make it easeir to read here online

Create a dynamic physical file path in FILE tcode

Hi ,
I have a requirement where i need to create a file on application server. the physical path depend on the month in which it is executing.
For example I have a file with the name 29082011_hh:mm:ss.dat.
This file should be stored in the directory file015\FI\appl\Aug\.
So i require to create the logical file path as file15\Fi\appl\<month>\<filename>
My question is do we need to maintain the folders for all the months in AL11 or it can be generated at runtime
Plz reply

You must create the directories beforehand.

How to create dynamic source file path for lumira?

Dynamic file path problem....

Hello & thanks for your attention
I am trying to modify the action script(2) of a XML photo slideshow
I want to make it pull the photo array from a dynamic XML file
Yet nothing I try seems to be working - I was hoping someone could look at these snippets and tell me if I'm doing something incorrectly
Objective:
To make the swf file - pull its photo array - from a dynamic XML file path
Scenario:
http://www.reallivingtours.com/tours/viewTour.php?id=2092
When that URL is called by a browser
An XML file called 2092.xml is created in a /tmp/ directory
viewTour.php passes the ‘dynamic’ file path to the swf via the params
<param name="movie" value="slideshow.swf?file=tmp/<?php echo $tourID; ?>.xml">
<param name="flashvars" value="&file=tmp/<?php echo $tourID; ?>.xml">
The original AS2:
var xml:XML = new XML();
xml.ignoreWhite = true;
_root.xmlPath == undefined ? xml.load("settings.xml") : xml.load(_root.xmlPath);
The modified AS2 - I've done:
var filePath:String = new String();
filePath =_root.file;
var xml:XML = new XML();
xml.ignoreWhite = true;
_root.xmlPath == undefined ? xml.load(new URLRequest(filePath)) : xml.load(_root.xmlPath);
Can you see anything I'm doing incorrectly?
Thank you very much for your time and attention
Benn

Thanks to webqa - I've gotten a little closer to resolving this
my debugging tells me that i have an undefined error
I'm thinking - xml.load(filePath)
is not recognizing the string as a file path to the XML
Does anyone have any suggestions? thank you
var filePath:String = new String();
filePath =_root.file;
var xml:XML = new XML();
xml.ignoreWhite = true;
_root.xmlPath == undefined ? xml.load(filePath) : xml.load(_root.xmlPath);

Saving file paths (like a bookmark gets saved?)

i seem to be doing a lot of restoring of data (for instance i had to restore my notes recently) and i am realizing that it would be uber helpful to be able to save file paths. right now i highlight the folder that i need, then i hightlight the one above it and then again the one above that until i get to the library level where i will see it easily.
is there some utility of function that would let me save all my important file paths instead of having to do this/
TIA

You would want to create aliases for your file paths. right click the folder choose create alias, then drag all the aliases into a new folder you titled Paths. drag the paths folder into your sidebar.
Another option is to keep your file paths in notes or whatever text editor you choose.
then copy and paste them into the "go" field
when in finder hit shift+cmd+G and the GO menu should pop up.
paste the file path from your notes into that field and you're there instantly.

Using a dynamic file path with the import command

In one of the BI Publisher blog entries it was mentioned that the curly braces tell the parser that it needs to evaluate this value first before executing the import statement. The example provided was using the built-in parameter CURRENT_SERVER_URL, but it also mentioned that this could be done with any parameter.
I am trying to import a subtemplate using a parameter that will hold the relative path. I am using the following import command in my report template:
<?import:file:///{$P_SERVERPATH}/Report Path/Subtemplate.rtf?>
as well as the following declaration statement:
<?param@begin:P_SERVERPATH?>
It appears that the P_SERVERPATH parameter is not being evaluated before the import statement. Am I missing anything?
Any help is greatly appreciated, we are a little over a week from migrating to a new environment and I need to nail down a solution ASAP.
Thanks,
John

I believe that you cannot have a dynamic path in the import statement as it is not allowed by xsl.

How to get images dynamically from database without file paths in the table field

I have a MS-Access database. I am working with ASP.NET. In the database there is product table in which I have "CodeNo" as a field which is a text field, and the product codes like "SM-R-2035". I also have another field "Image" which is also a text field and which have a file path in it corresponding to the particular product Image (e.g. Images\Products\SM-R-2035.jpg). So far every thing is ok. I have to update this site very frequently and lots of images are added each and every time. Its a tedious work to type the paths and file name every time and it also take a lot of time.
What I am asking is : Is it possible to get images from a specific folder at runtime which is referenced by the "code no" itself and not the file path from the database. (Say at run time the "code no" is referenced from the database and the corresponding image is loaded dynamically from the specified folder). In other word I want to avoid the tedious work of typing.
Can any one help with this issue. Any other simple suggestions are welcome.

All you need to do is simple concatenation to obtain the path for the image file. You didn't mention whether you are using VB.Net, C# or some other language to do your coding.
If the code in your database is SM-R-2035, the file name is SM-R-2035.jpg and the path to the images foilder is Images\Products\SM-R-2035.jpg, Conceptually here is what you need to do:
dim code_var
dim path_var
code_var = the code you obtain from your relevant field in the database
path_var = "Images\Products\" & code_var & ".jpg"
Now path_var is what you would call to obtain the image from your images folder.

File path lost while importing to RoboHelp

Hi
I am using FM11 and RH10 as part of TCS4.
I have inserted an image in FrameMaker which has the file path Interactivities\First Interactivity\tab1.swf (shown in the screenshot).
When I import to RoboHelp the path is lost.
This is generally not an issue as the file gets imported and published as well.
But in my case, I have three different SWFs named, tab1.swf, tab2,swf, and tab3.swf in three folders First Interactivity, Second Interactivity, and Third Interactivity respectively. The content of all three SWF files are being called from an XML file, which has the same name of tabs.xml. Now, when we publish the RoboHelp file, since all the three SWFs get copied/published to the single folder, that throws all my calls to the XML out of gear.
So, is there a way I can retain the file path when the file is imported?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Sreekanth

Sorry, bad choice of words there from my side.
I have a Tab interactivity in SWF fomat. The framework of this is created in Flash in which we are calling the content from XML file. Here is the screenshot of the SWF when the XML file is missing:
Now, when I place the XML file in the required folder, it looks like this:
In your case, you place the Captivate file which is not dependent on other files. That is why you get it right. It is something like inserting an image.

Backup DB with dynamic sql - want to substitute in dbname and disk file path

Re: Backup DB with dynamic sql - want to substitute in dbname and disk file path
Hope I can explain this. Below is a small snippet of code. I want to set @SQLTemplate_TSQL once at the top of the script and then execute the SET @SQLCommand and sp_executesql in a loop that reads a list of databases. It all works, except for the
BACKUP DATABASE. Right now it evaluates when the SET @SQLTemplate_TSQL is evaluated. I want it to evaluate when it is executed. I want the DB_NAME() of the USE @dbname.
-- change @dbname and @dbbackuppath
DECLARE @SQLCommand NVARCHAR(MAX)
DECLARE @SQLTemplate_TSQL NVARCHAR(MAX)
DECLARE @dbname varchar(128) = 'Bank04'
-- one time setting of @SQLTemplate_TSQL
set @SQLTemplate_TSQL =
DECLARE @dbbackuppath varchar(128) = ''''d:\backups''''
IF RIGHT(@dbbackuppath, 1) <> ''''\''''
SET @dbbackuppath = @dbbackuppath + ''''\''''
SET @dbbackuppath = @dbbackuppath + DB_Name() + ''''.bak''''
PRINT @dbbackuppath
BACKUP DATABASE ' + DB_NAME() + ' to DISK=''' + QUOTENAME(@dbbackuppath, CHAR(39)) + '''
-- Execute this several times over different databases
SET @SQLCommand = '
USE ' + QUOTENAME(@dbname) + ';
EXEC(''' + @SQLTemplate_TSQL + ''') '
PRINT @SQLCommand
EXECUTE sp_executesql @SQLCommand

Here is a stripped down version of my code. Someone writes a script. I then take the script and seperate it by GO statement block. Each GO block gets its own row into the
#SQLTemplate_TSQL. I then replace single quote with 4 quotes and run it. Then I run against my list of databases. I am unable to get the BACKUP DATA base to work with this model.

Rendering images dynamically from file server path

Hi,
We are having JDeveloper 11.1.2.4
We have following requirement - Image files are located on server. File locations (path and name) are stored in database table.
We need to dynamically access file locations from database table, access file from server and render it in ADF image component.
Is it possible? If yes, we would really appreciate some pointers/help on how to achieve it.
Please note that we are able to render images dynamically when they are stored in database BLOB column. We can do that using a ImageServlet class. In doGet() method, we are fetching the database BLOB column based on current row id.
Thanks,
Vivek

Here is the scriplet I tried. But it is not redering the image and definitely I am missing something here. Please suggest changes or any direction.
<%
File f = image.getThumbnailFile(); //image file from a bean
ByteArrayOutputStream byteOutput = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
InputStream inputStream = new FileInputStream(f);
byte[] bytes = new byte[1024];
int read;
try{
          while ( (read = inputStream.read(bytes)) > -1 )
                  byteOutput.write(bytes, 0, read);
          //byte[] ba = byteOutput.toByteArray();
          ByteArrayInputStream byteInput = new ByteArrayInputStream(byteOutput.toByteArray());
          response.setContentType("image/gif");
          while ( (read = byteInput.read()) > -1 )
               response.getOutputStream().write(read);
          response.getOutputStream().flush();

However, when I import files from an external drive (E), the thumbnails appear but their path shows up as being on external drive (F). At the same time, a representation of the folders I imported from appears on the folder tree of drive F, but with grey instead of yellow folders.
When I click on one of the thumbails, the program starts searching for a 'missing file.'
No other software I own works like this. Both drives are in good working order -- online and not sleeping, and are freely accessible by other programs and file managers.
Is this wrong parh issue a common problem? Can it be fixed?

Hi, I have the same problem of grayed folders. I did manually change the folders in Explorer and now have this problem of trying to reconnect the files with the image and have over 2000 files missing. Now I am getting the message to "reconnect or delete from catalog". Is there a way to reconnect with out searching for each and every file? Is it possible to remove these folders and "re-do" my import? Please help.
I ran your utility and below are my findings:

Imported web app image file path shows no picture

I am trying to import a file path into the image (type) field of a web app, but the image does not appear on page. If I go into the web app item, do nothing but click 'update', the image will appear on page.
I have tried importing using Auto-Detect, Comma delimited (CSV), and Tab delimited with the same result. I have exported the .CSV from Numbers (app), and tried copy/paste into TextEdit for Tab delimited. Text is UTF-8.
Is there some trick to getting the import of a file path to work? Do I need to escape the "/" in the file path (ie. /_assets/images/<filename> to \/_assets/images/<filename> )?

As I am still testing this web app, I uploaded an image through dreamweaver, then went to the web app, clicked the 'select image' link next to the Image field, and continued to fill in the other info.
Once that was done -- so I had one example web app item in the spreadsheet -- I exported the template, filled it in with additional data, and imported in the various ways described. I am only using the one image. http://mainedreamvacation.businesscatalyst.com/specials
I get this image visible on page, I had to go in and update each web app item. Tedious for testing; impractical otherwise.
Thanks for your help,
