You can not overwrite a dumpfile but maybe using substitution variables will also solve your problem.

Overwrite existing file not working for FTP

Hi XI Folks,
I am trying not to overwrite the file at receiver - FTP server.
It is getting overwritten though I uncheck 'Overwrite existing file' checkbox in FTP. But the same is working fine for NFS. Please find the config details below.
Receiver communication channel Configuration:
Transport Protocol : FTP
File construction mode: Create
Put File: Use temporary file
Overwrite existing file : Not checked
The file is getting overwritten. Iam in SP15.
Receiver Communication channel Configuration:
Transport Protocol : NFS
File construction mode: Create
Write mode: Use temporary file
Overwrite existing file : Not checked
The file is not getting overwritten. It throws an error in Message monitor with wait status.
Is the "overwrite exist file - checkbox" works only for NFS & not for FTP.
eagerly expecting relevant response,
Kiruthika S

Sasi,
If we have two files with the same name then what do you want to do? It is the same scenario here? If you dont check the overwrite existing file option then it can write the file also. If you check then it will overwrite. If you dont want this then you can add the timestamp to the existing file. Else you have to make sure of the naming conventions of the file.

Why not allow Business Rule Design Transformer to overwrite existing BRDDs

Hi,
It can be quite annoying during development to continually having to remove the BRDD Trigger and PL/SQL Definition when running the BR Design Transformer reveals missing information in the BR Analysis definition. It seems that it would be practical to have at least the option to have the Business Rule Design Transformer overwrite an existing Business Rule Design Definition.
You could think of an additional parameter in this utilily labeled "Overwrite existing BRDD?" with allowable values Y(es) and N(o) with No as default (so that the default functionality is the same as before).
Below you find the code that can be added to the HSU_BRTR package to realize such a functional improvement. Maybe you can consider it for a next release...?!

Among the alternatives not mentioned... Using a TiVo DVR, rather than the X1; a Roamio Plus or Pro would solve both the concern over the quality of the DVR, as well as providing the MoCA bridge capability the poster so desperately wanted the X1 DVR to provide. (Although the TiVo's support only MoCA 1.1.) Just get a third-party MoCA adapter for the distant location. Why the hang-up on having a device provided by Comcast? This seems especially ironic given the opinions expressed regarding payments over time to Comcast. If a MoCA 2.0 bridge was the requirement, they don't exist outside providers. So couldn't the poster have simply requested a replacement XB3 from the local office and configured it down to only providing MoCA bridging -- and perhaps as a wireless access point? Comcast would bill him the monthly rate for the extra device, but such is the state of MoCA 2.0. Much of the OP sounds like frustration over devices providing capabilities the poster *thinks* they should have.

Procedure to Overwrite Existing Reports in Salesforce

I've been looking around and can't seem to find the proper procedure for overwriting existing reports in Salesforce. While we are on that topic, what is the procedure for uploading new reports? What needs to be checked, filled out, clicked?
Whenever I try to overwrite a report, it says there was a database connection error. I have to delete the report and re-upload it.

To add a bit more to what Steve wrote:
While we are on that topic, what is the procedure for uploading new reports?
It depends on the report and it's data source. If you are using an onpremise data source, you would need to have implemented the Open Data Connector on site and then you can set your reports to point to that web service. The other option there is for reports from Excel files that exist in crystalreports.com. There is another forum post on that topic. For Salesforce.com reports, I cover that below.
What needs to be checked, filled out, clicked?
For Salesforce.com, you typically don't need to check anything related to the data source. crystalreports.com will automatically know about the data source. When a user runs the report, it will automatically use their Salesforce.com security token to run the report.
If you want, you are able to "hard-code" the user credentials for the report. To do that, you can check the "Other data source" radio button and then input your user name/password. The password is encrypted and masked. In this case, you want to very careful as to which users have access to that report. Some customers use this to give some access to Salesforce.com data in a report that users might not have access to within Salesforce.com itself.
Do make sure that you do not upload a report with saved data unless you intend users to see that "snapshot" of data. Otherwise, the report does not refresh by default.
Whenever I try to overwrite a report, it says there was a database connection error. I have to delete the report and re-upload it.
I thought I remember seeing something before happening with a report that I was trying to overwrite. It was not consistent so I was not sure if it was just something wrong with my report. What I did to resolve it was to overwrite the report with some .rpt file that did not use a Salesforce.com data source. Then I overwrote it again with the intended Salesforce.com data source report. I believe that reset the connection properly.

How does one overwrite existing text?

One can do plenty of clever formatting in drafting Thunderbird correspondence. But I am unable to find how one overwrites existing text. Can someone help, please?

please I am having trouble understanding. But here goes what I think your asking.
When you reply in an interleaved fashion as you did with my email, you need to break the previous message by pressing enter to get your own text area to type in. I saw a discussion on one of the develop0er list the other day where they were suggesting that some of the font information is bleeding back and forth in these situation and brainstorming what to actually do about it. That is just a discussion as yet. See https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/tb-planning/ZYusepcRj-k
One of the best option in my opinion is to use the quote and compose managerhttps://freeshell.de/~kaosmos/quoteandcomposemanager-en.html as it preserves the vertical lines Thunderbird shows while editing in the outgoing message to make it clear where the interleaved information is located. It also has a stabilize font option that has helped many. (The author is Italian, so Italian locales of his add-ons are always available)

11.1.2.1 - Overwrite Existing Values - Not Working

Hi,
Client has ASO Essbase application. They have duplicate rows of data apparently. I have the 'Overwrite existing values' box checked on the 'Data Load Settings'. I also select the 'Overwrite Existing Values' selection in the 'Data Load' window. Not sure why this is even there as it seems new or is a ASO specific functionality or something. Anyways, I created a simple file with two duplicate rows. When I load it using the rule, it doubles everything up. Then I load just a single row file with same rule and it successfully overwrites the values and loads properly.
Is there a know issue with duplicate rows within the same file that causes it to double the values during the load? Or am I fundamentally missing something on how to correctly 'Overwrite Existing Values'?

Found below out there in the documentation but trying to decipher it. If I understand the 'Buffer' will combine like rows withing a datasource automatically? But I can't figure out if that's in different source files only or within the same file?'
Rules File Differences for Aggregate Storage Data Loads
Rules file specifications for loading values to aggregate storage databases reflect the aggregate
storage data load process.
For block storage data loads, through the rules file, you choose for each data source whether to
overwrite existing values, add values in the data source to existing values, or subtract them from
existing values.
For aggregate storage data loads using the aggregate storage data load buffer, you make this
choice for all data load sources that are gathered into the data load buffer before they are loaded to the database.
To use a rules file that was defined for a block storage outline with an aggregate storage outline, first associate the rules file with the aggregate storage outline. See “Associating an Outline with an Editor” in the Oracle Essbase Administration Services Online Help.
For aggregate storage databases only:
•     If you are loading data and values exist in the database, select an option from the Data load values drop-down list for overwriting existing values, adding to existing values, subtracting from existing values, or replacing the contents of the database.
•     Select whether to ignore missing values and zero values in the data source.
•     Select whether to load the data as a new slice in the database.

How to overwrite existing DB's in SQL 2008?

I use Maintenance Plan of SQL 2008 Server for Backup some DB's. As a result i need to keep, only one set of Backup Up's and not more. So actually i can use Maintenance Plan Clean Up wizard, but i need something like Overwrite. That mean
i don't want do delete DB's after i finish Backup UP, but i want to overwrite existing backups?
Thanks.

Maintenance Plans are great as a base starting point for, "maintenance". They provide quick, easy setup and just get something in when in some cases, a fulltime DBA is not around.
Uri's recommendation on avoiding Maintenance Plans probably should have come with an explanation with such a strong statement. I'm guessing with the following, there will be an agreement...
Maintenance Plans, like I said, offer quick development of maintenance tasks. However, you can find yourself being restricted if you only use them for all of your maintenance tasks. This proves to make it difficult when you start getting further
into truly managing your database servers as they grow. Now, WITH INIT is an option form memory in the BACKUP Task but given the task, the conversion to calling the BACKUP DATABASE [db] TO DISK=N'filepath' WITH INT is a pretty quick change (at this point).
It will allow you to better understand the tasks you are refining as well. But, you do have the ability to leave it there.
I'm also not fully agreeing that WITH INIT is your best option if you want to retain backup history. If you do not, then by all means, INIT it all day. You may want to consider bringing this into SSIS or even a more structure TSQL statement to
dynamically create backup files by timestamps so you can at least retain some historic recovery abilities. Possible this is something of a secondary backup so that is based on my assumptions

Disable "Overwrite existing files" when upload doument

Dear team,
in document library, when upload document, i don't want the document to overwrite the documents with the same name.
there is chekbox in upload page, that is default checked, I searched and some people said that I can update the upload page, find the checkbox control, and set the value to false, so i update the value in Upload.aspx and Uploadex.aspx page to change the
value.
but after changing the value, I cannnot open the upload page successfully, it always shows error.
Did I do anything wrong?

Hi Greetings.
This is not the right procedure
Scording to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to override SharePoint OOTB Upload.aspx default for " Overwrite existing files" checkbox.
We can use the AdditionalPageHead delegate control to change the default without modifying upload.aspx.
There is an article for your reference, although it is about the WSS3.0, it still works for SharePoint 2013: Turn Default Upload Overwrite Off in WSS 3.0
Please follow the steps as below:
Download the solution file form here
Copy the wps file to the Disk C.
Open the SharePoint 2013 Management Shell.
Run the command: add-spsolution c:\ DefaultUploadOverwriteOff.wsp
Open the Center Administration, click System Setting->Manage Farm Solution-> dp.sharepoint.workflow.wsp->Deploy to one or more Web Application.
Open the site, clilck Site settings-> Site collection features-> Default Upload Overwrite Off->Active.
Open the library, the 'overwrite existing files' checkbox will be unchecked.

Disable "Overwrite Existing Files"

Hi, I am trying to disable the "Overwrite Existing Files" checkbox which comes in the pop up when I try to upload a file in sharepoint site. Can someone please tell me how can I disable this (the whole thing should go if possible). Many users
will use this and I do not want those users to overwrite the files they uploaded. Many Thanks

Hi,
From your description, I understand you want to disable the "Overwrite Existing Files" option by default.
Please try the steps below:
1.Locate Upload.aspx file via path “..\15\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS” on your SharePoint server.
2.Backup the Upload.aspx file.
3.Locate the following line:
<asp:CheckBox id="OverwriteSingle" Checked="true" Text="<%$Resources:wss,upload_document_overwrite_file%>" runat="server" CssClass="ms-upload-overwrite-cb" />
4.Then change “true” to “false”, and add code(Disabled = “true”) as below:
<asp:CheckBox id="OverwriteSingle" Checked="false" Disabled="true" Text="<%$Resources:wss,upload_document_overwrite_file%>" runat="server" CssClass="ms-upload-overwrite-cb" />
5.Save the file and refresh your site collection to see whether it is working.
You could also choose to remove the option, please refer to the thread below:

Can't Overwrite Existing Files with Same Name - Likely a Mail Error?

Couldn't find this on the forum... Hope I can explain this properly.
When I design something and send a proof I will send a PDF through mail. When the revises come in I used to be able to just overwrite the existing files on my desktop and re-send through mail. But now programs won't let me overwrite files with the same name anymore. Basically the program says "overwrite existing file?" but then say "file is in use. Can't overwrite."
Back in Leopard this used to happen when I would have a mail draft open that used the data of the file I sent or was about to send. I would just have to save the mail message as a draft and the file was "no longer in use" so I could proceed as usual. But now it does this all the time regardless.
Did this make sense? It's kind of hard to explain... But basically now when I want to send a revised file (and this can happen dozen of times in a day) I have to trash the existing file I want to overwrite. Or rename the file, which is confusing for me and my clients.
Any thoughts?

I have the same situation as you - sending out pdfs of designed pages and wanting to overwrite them continually. It used to happen on an older version of Mail, then it disappeared and now it's back with the latest version.
It's more than annoying, it's downright driving me nuts. In the last hour I had to quit Mail seven times.
Please send a fix for this Apple.

Overwrite existing files?

I'm happily back to iTunes 7.7.1. I followed the directions for creating a backup disk. Apple's instructions for 'restoring from a backup disc' don't mention the 'extra' dialogue that comes up; EG 'Overwrite existing files?'
By overwriting, does that keep one from getting a bunch of dupe songs? What happens if one doesn't overwrite? Are 'files' the same as 'songs'?
Thx in advance!

Hi,
I think that you're confusing the iTunes application with the iTunes Folder.
The iTunes Application resides in your Application folder and if you removed iTunes and installed an earlier version, then your iTunes Folder which lives in Home/Music will have remained untouched. This folder contains all your music, applications and the database that iTunes uses containing all your playlist and other information.
If you did remove every trace of iTunes, then you should have been presented with an empty iTunes window when you re-installed the earlier version, and you should not be getting a message about "overwriting files" because there aren't any files to overwrite.
If you only replaced the iTunes application, and when you opened iTunes 7.7.1 all your music files were present, then you don't need to re-install from your backup discs because they're already in your library.
Regards

Output Options -- Overwrite existing files

I OCR multiple files from different locations routinely and need a better method to identify what files have previously been OCR'd. My question has to do with the Output Options of the OCR multiple files function of Adobe 9. It would seem to me that if I add "ocr" to the filename and check the overwrite existing files option that I would not end up with 2 files -- the original file and the OCR'd file with "ocr" added to the filename, but that is what happens. Am I doing something wrong or am I misinterpreting that function.
Regards,
Steve

"Overwrite existing files" would control whether, if the file name you have chosen is already in use, whether that file is overwritten. There is no offer to "delete input file".

How do you configure AME CS5.5 to overwrite existing output files?

How do you configure AME CS5.5 to overwrite existing output files? So far the only options I have found are to increment the output file name or fail. From the explaination of file increment I would have expected overwrite to be the alternative. We work daily with the same file(s) on an hourly basis and convert via watch folder to over a dozen file types and network mapped destinations. Re-using the same file name is critical to the final project (updating website content). Does anyone have any suggestions?

Has there been any updates on overwriting output files in CS6? This would be extremely helpful.

HOW RESTORE WITHOUT OVERWRITE EXISTING DATABASE ???????

I create a test database named TESTONE
USE MASTER
GO
if DB_ID('testone') IS NOT null
drop database TESTONE
GO
CREATE DATABASE TESTONE
GO
and change recovery model to simple
alter database TESTONE set recovery simple
GO
so I create a sample table
use TESTONE
GO
create table table1(
id int identity primary key,
descr varchar(10)
go
I take a full backup of that database
USE master
GO
BACKUP DATABASE TESTONE
TO DISK=N'c:\TEMP\testone.bak'
WITH NOFORMAT, INIT, NAME = N'TESTONE', SKIP, NOREWIND, NOUNLOAD, STATS = 10
GO
after that i do something bad :-)
USE TESTONE
GO
drop table table1
go
USE master
GO
USE [master]
RESTORE DATABASE [TESTONE] FROM DISK = N'C:\TEMP\testone.bak' WITH RECOVERY, FILE = 1, NOUNLOAD, STATS = 5
GO
the restore command doesn't contains WITH REPLACE clause and ....
if you expand the tables tree you'll find your deleted table
the database has been overwritten
Why?

That is the default behavior or RESTORE. Since you are restoring the same DB (not a different DB) and the DB is in simple recovery mode, it will overwrite the existing DB. See https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms186858.aspx.
Here is an excerpt from this link:
REPLACE Option Impact
REPLACE should be used rarely and only after careful consideration. Restore normally prevents accidentally overwriting a database with a different database. If the database specified in a RESTORE statement already exists on the current server and the specified
database family GUID differs from the database family GUID recorded in the backup set, the database is not restored. This is an important safeguard.
The REPLACE option overrides several important safety checks that restore normally performs. The overridden checks are as follows:
Restoring over an existing database with a backup taken of another database.
With the REPLACE option, restore allows you to overwrite an existing database with whatever database is in the backup set, even if the specified database name differs from the database name recorded in the backup set. This can result in accidentally overwriting
a database by a different database.
Restoring over a database using the full or bulk-logged recovery model where a tail-log backup has not been taken and the STOPAT option is not used.
With the REPLACE option, you can lose committed work, because the log written most recently has not been backed up.
Overwriting existing files.
For example, a mistake could allow overwriting files of the wrong type, such as .xls files, or that are being used by another database that is not online. Arbitrary data loss is possible if existing files are overwritten, although the restored database is complete.

RoboHelp does not ask if I want to overwrite existing files

I got a new laptop this week so I had to re-install RoboHelp 8 on my new laptop. I also installed the two patches available for RoboHelp 8 as well.
When I import .htm files into my RoboHelp Project it is overwriting existing files without asking me if I want to overwrite any existing files. It is also overwriting my style sheet if the file came from another project with the same style sheet name. I cannot figure out how to configure RoboHelp so that it will always ask me if I want to overwrite a file if an file with the same name already exists in my project.
I've never had this issue in the past with any version of RoboHelp or with RoboHelp 8.0.2.208. Any idea on how to configure RoboHelp so it will ask me if I want to overwrite existing files?

I just ran a test and the first import did not issue any warnings but it would not have overwritten anything. The next import did issue the expected warning in respect of files that would be overwritten.
There is nothing to configure but it does appear to be working as expected.
Try importing the same htm file twice into the same project, create a test project for the purpose.
