External table fails to view data after changing file name

Hello,
I have previously imported 122 external tables and was able to view their data without any problems.
The names of these files have since changed. The names have a date in them.
So I dropped the external tables from that database and recreated them with the new file names.
I then went into OWB and dropped them from OWB.
I reimported all of the tables without errors.
I go to view the data and get an error that the file does not exists.
The problem is that the file it is telling me does not exists, is the file I had been using last week. Not the new file.
However, when I go and right click the external table and do a configure, the correct name is showing up under datafiles.
It's almost as though when I dropped the external tables, not everything was cleaned up. For whatever reason, OWB is still using the old names.
Dan

Hi there... Wich OWB version are you using?
If you've created this external tables using any other tool (ie: SQLPLUS, SQLDeveloper, Toad, SQLNavigator, etc), are you able to query this objects from one of these tools?
If you've created this ET's using OWB, are you creating it as external tables or are you mapping it as source flat files?
If you are using OWB to create it, there are a few configurations/properties you should change to have them running well.
Please, post some more info.
Thanks

How do I reconnect media after changing file name?

The original file name is 1001.WAV I changed it to Take1 . How do I relocate the files? I use Pluraleyes to sync all my files.
Cheers, Greg

Change it back. NEVER change file names in the Finder level if the media is in an FCP project. Change it BEFORE you import it into FCP...or change the name IN FCP. What you did was bad bad wrong wrong. Expecially since you already did things like sync it up with pluraleyes.
Change it back. Then change the name in FCP.

Preserving Ranking after Changing file name in feed

We are in the process of updating some of our collection to high quality SD video (640 x 360) and adding an HD (12800 x 720), which requires us to point to new files in the current sd feed. It seems that by doing so, we are losing the ranking for that particular item even though we preserved the GUID.
Any ideas on how to preserve the rankings while we're going through the process of upgrading the quality of our videos?

As long as you retain the same GUID, the ranking will be preserved. If you submit different GUID to the server and then change it back to the old GUID however, as we don't keep history of GUIDs, your ranking will be lost.
Hope this helps

Failed to read data from report file Reason: The table could not be found.

BO Enterprise XI R2, cannot publish crystal reports using the publishing wizard.
Failed to read data from report file Reason: The table could not be found.
Any ideas to get around this would really help out.

Connection used Views, ODBC System DSN is setup properly.
Approach for import from business view manager and import wizard. both methods failed to import the Business View and underlying reports.
I figure I may have imported the Business View wrong? From Business View Manager I exported from my dev server then imported to prod server.
Apparently I learned exporting my business view also includes the Data Connections that the Business Views are dependent upon.
So which ever folder you specify it copies it there. Originally the all Data Connections Resides on the root folder. To return it to the original location. I deleted what I had exported. Exported this time to the root folder, then only deleted the business views, foundation, elements. Then exported again to the folder where I intended then only deleted the Data Connection.
Makes any sense? So I then had to re point the business views and all the dependent objects to the data connection that resides in the root folder.
I tested the connection, it works fine. I properly updated my crystal reports to the business view in production. Did a sample extract it works as expected.
However when i try to publish, either from Crystal or Publish wizard i get the same error?
As a work around i am thinking, after updating the business view in the crystal reports, shall i re map the fields?? or reexport the business views again?
Any help will be surely appreciated.

External Table which can handle appending multiple csv files dynamic

I need an external table which can handle appending multiple csv files' values.
But the problem I am having is : the number of csv files are not fixed.
I can have between 2 to 6-7 files with the suffix as current_date. Lets say it will be like my_file1_aug_08_1.csv, my_file1_aug_08_2.csv, my_file1_aug_08_3.csv etc. and so on.
I can do it by following as hardcoding if I know the number of files, but unfortunately the number is not fixed and need to something dynamically to inject with a wildcard search of file pattern.
CREATE TABLE my_et_tbl
my_field1 varchar2(4000),
my_field2 varchar2(4000)
ORGANIZATION EXTERNAL
( TYPE ORACLE_LOADER
     DEFAULT DIRECTORY my_et_dir
     ACCESS PARAMETERS
       ( RECORDS DELIMITED BY NEWLINE
        FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','

     LOCATION (UTL_DIR:'my_file2_5_aug_08.csv','my_file2_5_aug_08.csv')

Well, you could do it dynamically by constructing location value:

Can't find some files after changing drive name

I keep all my music files on an external drive, and my iTunes folder (and iTunes Music folder) on the internal drive. After changing the name of the external drive, a good number of files (not all, and probably not even most, but a lot) couldn't be found by iTunes.
I'm suspecting that this problem results from having my files stored externally and separate from the internal default iTunes Music folder, but I'm hoping someone can give me some more details about this and hopefully help find a solution. Thanks.

In the root of the filesystem there normally is a folder "lost+found", in which files with strange names are found. These are the files cvfsck has collected in the recovering of the filesystemnames. It is sometimes not possible to recover the original file name and location. So this is the only way for cvfsck to give them back.
If you think the content of these files is allright, you can rename and relocate them.

Failed to read data from report file : Reason: Crystal Reports: Print Engin

Hi,
When we try to migrate the crystal reports from BO R2 to BO R3, some of the reports are faling with the error:
Failed to create a new Report.Reason: Failed to read data from report file C:\DOCUME~1\xxxxx.rpt. Reason: Crystal Reports: Print Engine Error
Would please someone help me in fixing the issue.
Thanks and Regards,

Few quick checks to identify the cause -
1. Are you able to run report in your R2 system?
2. In XI3.1, check SIA running on which account.
3. Check the acount have sufficient rights on file system and registry.
4. What's your web server?
Give proper rights and import again. Hopefully it will resolve.

Change file name with oreilly servlet

I am using oreilly servlet package and I want to change the file name to the file I am uploading, is this possible ?
How ?
Thanks.
here I post the servlet code:
package com.reducativa.sitio.servlets;

response.setContentType("text/plain");
out.println("Demo Parser Upload Servlet");
File dir = new File("f:/");
if (! dir.isDirectory()) {
throw new ServletException("Supplied uploadDir " + "f:/ " +

try {
MultipartParser mp = new MultipartParser(request, 10*1024*1024); // 10MB
Part part;
while ((part = mp.readNextPart()) != null) {
String name = part.getName();

Hi there,
I am facing the same problem that you have stated in your Feb 26, 2002 10:28 AM message regarding "change file name with oreilly servlet", I would like to change the file name to include a unique identifier upon upload, did you ever find a solution to your problem?

Is it possible to change file name policy in the JRE cache folder?

We are getting calls from our clients complaining of slowdowns in loading our Java applet. The reason is a virusscanner. If a virusscanner is in the middle, it can drastically slow down the download process, and therefore cause some high delay before the user can work on the our product as expected.
On this csutomer's side, it may take up to 10 min (the first time it is ran) instead of 1 min. JRE 1.6 is in use.
They dont want to exclude from antivirus scan all files from Sun\Java\Deployment\cache folder.
Question:
Is it possible to change file name policy in the JRE cache to make it less unique?
Thanks,

I suggest you solve the real problem - big files.
There are two scenarios
1. Initial download
2. Updates.
The first takes as long as it takes. No way around it.
The second means that you can't use one jar. Otherwise every single update requires downloading the entire application every time. Multiple jars means only the one that changed is downloaded.

Date appended to file name

Hi
I want to append date to my attachement name, to achieve this I went to scheduling and scheduled my report and gave attachment name as my_file_%y%m%d as specified by Tim in his blog (http://blogs.oracle.com/xmlpublisher/2009/12/dynamic_delivery_file_naming.html), but it is just giving the characters as they are instead of year month date appended to file name, my output is excel and our environment is standalone BIP.
Anyone help me on this.

ADE changes file names

The book I downloaded has each chapter as a seperate .pdf, each with it's own unique filename. ADE has retitled every chapter (.pdf) to the name of the book. Now that all the chapters have the same name, I can't transfer them to my Kobo. How do I change titles or get ADE to stop changing file names?
Thanks

I tried that %y, %m and %d but that doesn't work for bursting.

Synonym problem with external table in materialized view

I have a materialized view that includes selects on two external tables.
However, no matter how I try to access the external tables, the creation fails with a "Synonym Translation Is No Longer Valid" (ORA-00980) error.
This happens even when I replace the tablename with the full table name, including the link.
I can create a view just fine, but if I then try something like CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW mvw_my_view AS SELECT * FROM vw_my_view (where vw_my_view is the view in question), it still throws the Synonym Translation exception.

00980, 00000, "synonym translation is no longer valid"
// *Cause: A synonym did not translate to a legal target object. This
//         could happen for one of the following reasons:
//         1. The target schema does not exist.
//         2. The target object does not exist.
//         3. The synonym specifies an incorrect database link.
//         4. The synonym is not versioned but specifies a versioned
//            target object.
// *Action: Change the synonym definition so that the synonym points at
//          a legal target object.It is really, Really, REALLY difficult to fix a problem that can not be seen.
use COPY & PASTE so we can see what you do & how Oracle responds.
