File Adapter with Network Drive

Hi all,
I am trying to read a file from Z:\ that is actually pointing to a network drive of another machine.
However i am getting the error Configured source directory 'Z:\xxx' does not exist.
I am running Windows Server on both machine. I have map the network folder to Z:\ in the PI server.
Any advice?

hi,
1. check proper authorizations for accessing that folder.
2. Can you check whether you can access the folder from PI Server using window "run" command.
Also i think,
If you accessing the shared location in the network
the path would be "
<system name of the shared location>\<foldername>"

Canon 6D EOS with network drive

When will the EOS utility be upgraded to it can DL file to a network drive? Eye-Fi has been always able to do this.

I am new to full frame camera, and a new proud owner of Canon 6D. I used to shoot with a T1i before. I also have a YN-468 flash. Since 6D does not have an on-board flash, I want to start use the external flash more often.
As per many online guides, (e.g. photonotes.org/articles/eos-flash/index2.html) in Manual (M) exposure mode flash power is varied to expose the subject, while the shutter and aperture determine the ambient light.
I followed this approach, and on T1i it works as expected.
On 6D however it does not seem to work that way. The flash is firing, but the photos are tuned out black! (or extremely under exposed)
Both are shot in Manual Exposure mode, with same lens (24-105 L) @ 1/50, f/4, ISO-400. Since this setting was giving little over exposed in T1i, I put -2 FEC on both. I asked this question on Flickr forum and general conscious was that 6D is implementing some new algorithm for eTTL and hence previously working third party accessories may not work any more. Is it true?
I am borrowing one my friends 430Ex tonight to try if a Canon flash would work as expected to make sure my copy 6D is not defective.
Hi,
As RexGig said, full reverse engineering is required for 3rd party accessories to work properly, and Canon 6D may have an algorithm that detects 3rd party flash units...
Please let us know if the 430EXII worked fine.
Also remember that shutter speed won't affect the flash shoot if it's between the syncrhonizing speed (asuming you're not capturing environment light, otherwise the shutter speed will indeed make influence on the picture, but not because of the flash)
An additional test could be not using the flash with eTTL, but with a hot shoe adapter without communication to the camera. Of course, that would be very limiting to all manual settings.

I am trying to delete an XLS file from a network drive and am getting a message that says the file cannot be deleted because it is in use. I can't see where it is in use and have tried to reboot the computer to no avail.

I am trying to delete an XLS file from a network drive and am getting a message that says the file cannot be deleted because it is in use. I can't see where it is in use and have tried to reboot the computer to no avail. I can delete other files but several XLS files are giving me this message.

You said it was a network drive. So is someone else on the network using that same file or may have have left with excel still accessing it on their system?

How to recover deleted files on a Network Drive

I am running the latest OS environment, and I purchased a LaCie Network drive that is attached to my airport. Two nights ago, my house took a power hit/outage. I did not suffer any hardware damage, however, I lost significant data on my network drive where my iTunes library resides.
When I look at the drive contents, I find approximately 50% of the actual music files; however, the iTunes library file is gone as is much of the music. Therefore, when I open iTunes, the library is completely blank - no file listing, no playlists, etc. I suspect that the files all still exist on the drive and I would like to recover the files.
Is there a Data Recovery software utility that recovers files from a network drive? I located 4 data recovery software programs; however, none of these can access a network drive - they only work with local drives. Is there a utility to go after the network drive?
The LaCie drive is a network only drive. It is ethernet connected, and I attempted to direct connect it; however, the Mac OS does not recognize (i.e. find) the drive. The drive is 1TB and I have it split to do automatic duplication. I have removed one drive so that I have a copy of the original data - post power hit, and I have one drive that we can "play with"
thanks

Hi
I would say your best solution would be to purchase a 3.5" SATA enclosure (preferably Firewire; USB will be slower) and put your working drive in there for the purpose of data recovery. You never want to attempt data recovery over a network.

Can't preview files from a network drive to a local CF9 server.

Hi,
I have the following set up:
CF9 Local Dev version
CF Builder 2.
Project files are in a network drive N:\project
I have RDS set up and everything seems to work ok, view DSN, files, etc on my local server.
In the URL prefix section I even created a map:
Local Path: N:\project,
URL prefix: http://localhost:8500/project/
There is no FTP set up on the CF9 server.
The problem is that when I try to preview a file that I am working on from N:\project, it doesn't show on my local server. The previewing part works if I manually move the file to CF9. But it is the automatic uploading (or moving) of the file to the local CF9 that doesn't seem to work.
BTW, I have a similar set up in DreamWeaver, where I am editing the same project (or site in this case) off of N:\project, uploading to the same local CF9 server through RDS, and it works fine.
I know that if in CF Builder you move the project to under the web root it will work but that would not work for us, since we need to keep the project source files on a network drive for sharing/backup purposes.
Has anyone been able to successfully preview source files from a network drive on a local CF9 server?
Thanks in advance,

Hi again,
After doing some more googling I realize that for files to be previewed the MUST be under wwwroot. This wasn't too clear in the CF documentation.
So my new question is:
Is there are way, once I save a file to automatically copy it from one location(N:\project) to another (c:/ColdFusion9/wwwroot/project)?
I think there is a way to do it with Ant or some sort of Eclipse feature, but I am not too familiar with either. Could someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks,

Lightroom has trouble reading RAW files on my network drive ("The file appears to be unsupported or

Hey guys, I currently run LR5 on Mac OSX. I've had my RAWs on an external HDD and have smart previews built for those files. Recently, I upgraded to a new router, the ASUS RT-N65U, and plugged in my WD My Passport Ultra HDD (FAT32 filesystem) into to. Now I've put my RAWs on the network drive, and verified via MD5 checksums that the files are being read correctly (albeit rather slowly) from the network drive.
However, whenever I try to view one of the photos on the network drive, Lightroom complains, "The file appears to be unsupported or damaged". I've verified via MD5 that the files are not damaged. Does anyone know how I can get LR to be happy with the files on my network drive?
(Bonus question: how do I make my network drive faster?)
Thanks!

Got RAWs from a D7000 and D600, LR v5.2 [922700].
Oddly things are working now... I ejectected the network drive in Finder and reconnected to my router. Lightroom no longer has problems viewing the photos, even after I closed my laptop and reopenned it. I think the problem might occur when my laptop goes to sleep for a long time and I reconnect. Will repoert back when I try that.
I'm using an external HDD attached to my router. The reason I don't plug the external HDD to my laptop directly is I don't want to keep doing it every time I want to access my photos, and my laptop only has limited disk capacity since it's an SSD.

Opening files on a network drive.

In a (LabVIEW 6.0 WINNT)VI I have to open a file on a network drive with "Read lines from file.vi". In my devolpment environmet and after building the exe-file with aplication builder it works fine on my local machine. After installing the executable on a different computer (logged in as a different user), attached to the network, and installing the Run Time Engine "error 7 occured at open flie+.vi". The file path on both computers is exactly the same.
What is the reason that the file is found on my local computer and not found on an other users computer?????
kind regards

Hi,
With NT you have to be careful that you have the correct access rights to the network folders.
When you are logged in as a different user, can you see and open the file you are trying to read on the network drive using Explorer?

Working with network drives

I am having this trouble access files on a network drive. If I specify "G:\Folder\Filename" I get a file not found. If I specfy "\\server\Folder\Filename" it works fine. I'd prefer to use the first method as it would involve me not having to update all files to work this way, any suggestions?
-Scott

Yeah, I guess that would help. It's OAS 10gR1. This is a forms application. displaying images stored on a network drive.
Running on Windows 2003. When I try to open an image on a shared drive, it gives me "cannot be found" works in client server version (we use both forms 5, and then forms 10g for web components). When we try to open with App server using UNC \\server\folder\image it works fine.
Thanks for any help

How do I find a file on a network drive?

I cannot seem to get Spotlight to search on my network drive.
There is a file on my network drive and I simply cannot find it.
What is the secret?

Have you tried cmd-F in the Finder to bring up the finder search window. Do this when you've got a Finder window for your network drive open, and then you should be able to select the folder name of the mounted network resource and then do a search for either file contents or name.

Sender File Adapter with file conversion

Hi guys,
Im using a Sender File adapter with file conversion. The message to be processed has a structure with fixed lengths and in your content are some values that needs to be ignored.
An example:
value1 <b>value2</b> value3
I want to ignore <b>value 2</b> but I cant find a parameter for that! Do I need to define dummy fields on my data type and ignore those fields during mapping? Or there is a specific parameter for that?
Thanks in advance,
Ricardo.

hi,
there always is another way:)
you can import the whole line to one field
and cut it inside the adapter module
(then you can define start and stop of the substring that you need to use)
but of course it's not standard even though it's quite easy to achieve in java

Using File Adapter with Logical Name

I am creating a file adapter with Logical name. Apart from giving the Logical name is there any other configuration that I am suppose to do on the Web Logic before I start using it?
Thanks in Advance.

After configuring the file adapter, all you need to do is , give the path as a value for the logical name which you have created earlier. That you can do on the file adapter property inspector. There is no need to do anything on the server level. Lemme know
Thanks,

File Adapter with Content Conversion

Hi -
I am trying to convert a Flat file which has data as
firstnamelastnamecompanyName
Now i have created a message type which has a root name as Contact and its children are FirstName,LastName,Company.
And in the configurator i have created a file adapter with the content conversion, but being very new to XI i have never used a file adapter with content conversion. This is what i have in my Content Conversion Parameters.Please correct my code.
Document Name      ::   MT_Contact
Document Namespace ::   http://venkat
Document Offset    :: <i>i did not enter anything here</i>
Recordset Name     ::   RootNode(i gave this name just like that,,, Should it be something from the IR??
Recordset NameSpace:: <i>i did not enter anything here</i>
Recordset Structure::   Contact (this is the name in my IR
Recordset Sequence :: Ascending
Recordsets per Message :: Contact,* (Can someone explain what should be given here)
Then in the bottom in the name value pairs i have given
Contact.fieldNames   =   FirstName,LastName,Company
Contact.fieldSeparator = #
When i am using the above configuration the error i am getting in RWB is Error: Conversion initialization failed: Exception: java.lang.Exception: java.lang.Exception: Error(s) in XML conversion parameters found:
Format error in 'xml.recordset' argument: incomplete structure (name,number) pairInvalid 'xml.recordsetsPerMessage' value 'Contact,*' found
I am very new to XI and i am unable to understand what exactly each field means in the file adapter when the content coversion is used. Can someone take the pain of explaining them.
Thank you
Venkat

Hi,
Use the following to create an XML strucutre like this,
<MT_CONTACT>
<CONTACT>
<FirstName> </FirstName>
<LastName> </LastName>
<CompanyName> </CompanyName>
</CONTACT>
<MT_CONTACT>
DocumentName : MT_TEST
DocumentNamespace : Yournamespace
RecordserName : record
RecordsetStructure : CONTACT,1
In the table,
ignoreRecordsetName : true
CONTACT.fieldNames : FirstName,LastName,CompanyName
CONTACT.fieldSeparator : #

File Adapter with Conversion - XML with Hierarchy?

XI 3.0 (SP9)
We are using the inbound file adapter with conversion to convert a flat file that has header and line items. I would have thought that the data type should have been setup something like this:
<data type>
<header>
<item>1</item>
<item>2</item>
</header>
</data type>
Our flat file looks like this:
H12345
I12345
We have only been able to configure the file adapter to bring in the data like this:
<data type>
<header></header>
<item>1</item>
<item>2</item>
</data type>
What is the proper way to inbound data through a file adapter that has structure conversion like this?
Do all of the elements get put under the root node, or is there a way to build structure?
Do we need to build the data type to correspond with the exact way that the data will come in from the file adapter?
Thanks
Peter

Not quite sure what you want to get, as the flatfile and xml structure does not contain the same values.
However, I will try to give you an example:
Your flat file looks like this:
H12345
I12345
If the first row is header and the next is a line, then you need to specify the fila adapter with the following:
Document name = datatype
Recordset name = recordset
Recordset structure = header,1,item,*
Recordsets per message = *
Recordset sequence = Ascending (need SP10 for this, but you do not need it for this)
Keyfieldname = id
header.fieldFixedLengths = 1,5
header.fieldNames = id,number
header.keyFieldValue = H
header.lastFieldsOptional = Yes
item.fieldFixedLengths = 1,5
item.fieldNames = id,number
item.keyFieldValue = H
item.lastFieldsOptional = Yes
This will create something like this:
<datatype>
<recordset>
<header>
<id>H</id>
<number>12345</number>
</header>
<item>
<id>I</id>
<number>12345</number>
</item>
</recordset>
</datatype>
Hoever, if both rows are "item" rows , then you need to specify the file adapter with the following:
Document name = datatype
Recordset name = header
Recordset structure = item,*
Recordsets per message = *
Recordset sequence = Ascending (need SP10 for this, but you do not need it for this)
item.fieldFixedLengths = 1,5
item.fieldNames = id,number
item.lastFieldsOptional = Yes
This will create something like this:
<datatype>
<header>
<item>
<id>H</id>
<number>12345</number>
</item>
<item>
<id>I</id>
<number>12345</number>
</item>
</header>
</datatype>
Q: Do we need to build the data type to correspond with the exact way that the data will come in from the file adapter?
A: Yes!
Good luck!

Use Oracle Attachment for file located in network drive

Hi,
We have a requirement to attach the item drawing file to the inventory master item record. The drawing file is stored in a network directory. However, the attachment type of web page only supports http:// not file:\\\.
If we do not want to load the drawing file as a file attachment, is there any other of attach the file to the item record so it can be opened either in browser or by the local PC automatically?
Thanks,
Yi

Hi Rao,
this is less a MII than a browser or mapping problem.
You can access a local file in a browser like this:
window.open('file:///c:/folder/file.txt');
However, in case of MII local means local to the MII server. So in the above example the file is located on the c driver of the MII server.
If you want to access files on a network drive, the folders to the files should be mapped on the MII server so you are able to address them like they were local files.
I haven't tried to address network folders directly, because we are running MII on Unix.

How to use File Adapter with hierarchial Structure?

Hi,
How to use File Adapter with hierarchial Structure like..
Data:
--Header Details:
Line Item Details:
Data
Bcoz I am getting a Flatfile in a hierarchial way as shown below.
Header Details :1
Line Item a
Line Item b
Header Details :2
Line Item c
Line Item d
Kishore

Hey Kishore,
In order to create a structure you need to use the file with convertion mode on the sending communication channel of the file adapter.
check the link for the needed configuration paramters.
If the structure is more complexed you can use the Contetnt master(CM) from itemfield which allows to ceate XML file from complex flat files and more.
