File and directory names with Danish characters

I have installed the Novell Client v2.0 for Linux on my Open Suse 10.3. The Client is connecting to my Netware servers (6.0 & 6.5) without any problems...
There is one problem... Filenames and directory names with the Danish , & (ae, oe & aa), e.g the filename bger.doc (bger = books) is shown as b. and when clicking the file the file disappears from the file list. It seems to be the same problem with the German (umlaub).
What to do?

As far as I know, the Novell Client for Linux expects that file and
directory names use the UTF-8 encoding and does not support a traditional
8-bit encoding like ISO 8859-1. Try changing the encoding of file and
directory names to UTF-8 as described in
SDB:Converting Files or File Names to UTF-8 Encoding - openSUSE

Seems a good hint. When I create a folder or file from within SUSE using an "Umlaut" everything is OK and NCL 2.0 displays them correctly as they are UTF-8 formatted.
The proposed tool is no solution: one cannot convert folders or files that one cannot see (does it work for folders at all?). Maybe a windows tool would work because one could search for all files or folders with "Umlaute" and convert them. Other options?

Dynamic File and Directory Name without Mapping

Hello Experts,
We have following requirement:
1) Files will be picked from R/3 AL11 directory and would be placed in corresponding folder in target system.
2) On source side ,there would be only one folder for all types of files(around 20),but on target side,there would be one folder for each kind of file(20 folders)
3) File name should be same on the target side but target directory should be selected based on file name.
I have gone through a number of posts related to similar requirements and hence,sorry for a new post but I am not yet able to find a solution to this.
I could understand,this can be achieved using DynamicConfiguration UDF .
But I have no possibility to have mapping in my scenario.It would just be a pass through scenario.
Can anyone please suggest a solution to this?
Thanks.

Shweta

Hello,
Thanks a lot for suggesting solution to this problem.
I could achieve this using following Java mapping:
import com.sap.aii.mapping.api.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.text.*;
import java.util.*;
public class GetDynamicConfiguration implements StreamTransformation {
    private Map param;
    public void setParameter(Map map1) {
        this.param = map1;
    public void execute(InputStream inputstream, OutputStream outputstream) throws StreamTransformationException {
        try {
               AbstractTrace trace = null;
            // a) Set ouput File name
            String directory=null;
               trace = (AbstractTrace)param.get(StreamTransformationConstants.MAPPING_TRACE );
            param.put(DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/Dynamic", StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION), "");
            DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) param.get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
            DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File", "FileName");
               DynamicConfigurationKey key1 = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File", "Directory");
            String filename =conf.get(key);
            conf.put(key, filename);
               trace.addInfo("File name is "+filename);
            if(filename.equals("in.txt"))
            directory = "/home/ftpxi/in";
               if(filename.equals("test.txt"))
               directory = "/home/ftpxi/in/test";
               if(filename.equals("shweta27.txt"))
               directory = "/home/ftpxi/in/test";
               trace.addInfo("Directory name is "+directory);
               conf.put(key1, directory);
            // b) Just copy input file to output file
            byte[] b = new byte[inputstream.available()];
            inputstream.read(b);
            outputstream.write(b);
        } catch (Exception exception) {
            exception.printStackTrace();
Thanks again.

Prevent using special characters in file and folder names?

I've recently begun adding windows clients to my network. In doing so, I've found that on my file shares from OS X server, the windows clients are unable to see files and folders which have names containing special characters such as / ? < > \ : * | ”
Unfortunately my accounting department has been creating files with these characters in their names for several years. I would like to find if there is a way to prevent them from using a defined set of characters in the file and folder names to prevent them from "accidentally" doing so in the future.
I've found that by turning off streams support on SMB in OS X server, that my windows clients can at least see that a file or folder should exist, albeit with a corrupted file name. Removing the special characters from these names allows the proper name to become visible and the file accessible.
Any info would be greatly appreciated.

PS: basically it's not a url encoding issue.
I can url encode "ça alors: it's a déjà-vu",
and pass it in a url query string. But my issue is not
with an url query string, it's with an actual URL, that is,
the actual name of the directory. It
can't be "ça alors: it's a déjà-vu". But I
want to allow the user to name their directory like that
if they want. So I need a way to encode this into characters
that can be used for an actual
directory on the server.

Why does iPhoto (9.0/11) not retain the Event name when exporting more than one event? (using File - Export - Album name with number).

Why does iPhoto (9.0/11) not retain the Event name when exporting more than one event? (using File -> Export -> Album name with number).
Exporting a single Event retains the Event name which is what I'd expect. But highlighting more than one event and exporting it renames the images to Events 001.JPG, Event 002.JPG etc.
I was recently on holidays and had all my events nicely split on Dad's computer but when I went to export it I couldn't retain any of this information. Now I have to replicate this all again on my computer.
It wasn't possible to export the entire library as the external drive was fat32 format an I didn't want all of it. It would be nice to export a bunch of events to someone and have it retain the name.
Does anyone have a work around or will this be fixed at some point by Apple?

Problems with danish characters in email

Hi,
I have created a mailform with danish characters. I have tried to use the following configuration:
charset=iso-8859-1
But when i save the mailform, CRM transforms it to:
charset=utf-8
And before the header line it inserts:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
This is a problem because some of oure customers email clients, can't read this and garbles the danish special characters. The result is non readable emails.
How do i fix this?
Kind Regards
Michael

Customer names with cyrylic characters are wrongly shown in Bex Analyser

Customer names with Cyrillic characters are wrongly shown in Bex Analyser. The master data is correctly maintained and extracted\loaded by BW for these customer (Master Data object is correct). This might be a Bex Designer issue.
Furthermore, it has nothing to do with the local settings, when copying the name of the customer to Bey Analyzer the name is correctly shown.

Hi,
We are facing the same problem with the turkish characters, Our system is BW 3.10 (3.30 Cont) and ECC 6.0. The turkish characters are displaying correctly at the table level, but not at the RSRT or the Bex level.
The turkish characters are displaying correctly at the table, RSRT and Bex level if we load the same record from the Non-unicode Prod system to the Non-unicode BW Dev system, but if we load from the unicode QA system the same record is not displaying correctly.
Has anybody got a solution for this issue
thanks

File and Directory Maintenance on OSX Server

Are there any special considerations for using file and directory maintenance utilities such as Disk Warrior or TechTool, etc. when dealing with OSX Server, or can it be handled just like any other volume.
We have all of our data and our user home directories on the server and I would like to run some miantenance on them.
Thanks.

I am no expert on disk utilities.
Personally, I just have a separate 5G partition with a minimal OSX which I boot from once a month (or before a server update) and run Disk Repair & Repair Permissions from.
As far as I know, there is nothing going on on the server that is not going on on a 'normal' OSX machine (at file level mode). The OSX unix offering is miles from the previous OS9 model where the likes of Norton was almost mandatory. The built-in 'periodic' scripts and disk utility 'repair' (see "man fsck" in Terminal) all run at unix level, and have done for years, even before Apple II days!
Although I have both Disk Warrior & TechTool, I don't use them except in an 'emergency' (otherwise called: "try anything").
I would be interested in any other comments though.

File and directory permissions

We are running OSX 10.7 Lion on a Mac Pro 1,1 IN RAID. We are using this system als fileserver. Since last year it came to our attention that there where problems with the permissions on the files and directories (they seem corrupted). I do not mean system files but the files we stored on this server. When I look at random file permissions I get a whole list of users etc. A lot of duplicate users are there and also there are some entries in the list saying 'fetching'.
We use the server admin tool to manage groups and users.
This is what we have done so far:
- Try to repair permissions through terminal (because of RAID configuration)
- Propogate permissions through server app
- Resetpassword trick (restart cmd+R / terminal / resetpassword)
Can anyone tell me how to get this working 'clean' again? is there a way to reset all files according to the workgroup/user settings in the server app?

Sounds a bit like the temp files are not being 'closed' after being written
to or read by Labview. If you are using the advanced file vi's make sure
that they are closed afterwards.
If the OS assumes they are open then it will not allow deletion etc even
outside of Labview.

Stephane,
Just to clarify a few things:
1. Do you get these results for both scan targets? Or only a proxied
scan of the OES11 or OES2 volume?
2. What sort of volumes are being scanned? NSS? AFP? NCP? What's the
underlying Linux filesystem type, if applicable?
Thanks for helping us understand your problem better.

Lost ability to right click multiple files and choose 'open with'

In XP I can select a bunch of mp3 files, for example, right click and choose 'open with...' whatever application I want.
In windows 7 I only get 'open with' in the context menu on single files. How do I enable 'open with' for a selection of files? Please tell me Windows 7 hasn't disabled this useful behaviour.

Hi,
You can change the register key to realize the function.
For example, your mp3 player is windows media player, you can copy the following content (without quote) to the notepad and save it with the “.reg” extension.
The context is below:
Warning: While this procedure might solve the issue or problem, serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly by using Registry Editor or by using another method. These problems might require that you reinstall the operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that these problems can be solved. Modify the registry at your own risk. For more information about modifying the registry, see Microsoft support article 256986.
“Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\removeproperties\DropTarget]
"CLSID"="{09a28848-0e97-4cef-b950-cea037161155}" ”
You should change the bold text with the path of your player. After you’ve changed the key, you can right click the chosen MP3 files and choose “open with player” to play the music.

Problems with spaces in file or directory names and Word.exe

Hi
I'm trying to open a file with Word from my java aplication, and I have a problem with some file/directory names.
I have this
String cmd = "c:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Office\\Office10\\WINWORD.EXE" + " " + path;
try {
Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmd);
} catch (Exception errorea){ }
Here is what happens:
if path is something like this: "c:\people\info.doc" , there's no problem, Word opens the document, but if path contains blank spaces somewhere, it doesn't work. For example:
path = "c:\Documents and Settings\info.doc"
path = "c:\Hi everybody\info.doc"
path = "c:\tests\test results.doc"
with the above examples it doesn't work :( Word tries to open "c:\Documents", "c:\Hi" or "c:\tests\test".
Can anyone help? thanx a lot ! : )

Hint: use the variant Runtime.exec(String[] args).
Create a command array, with each token in a separate argument. The entire filename with spaces goes into one argument.

Issues with danish characters and sync

I am using a Nokia 5800, Nokia Ovi Suite 1.1 and synchronize through a cable from phone to PC.
I am using the Address Book from Outlook Express to synchonize between my Nokia phone and my PC. However, any special danish characters (æ, ø and å) are not correctly transferred from the phone to the PC, though the other way round does not cause any problems.
This is an issue when I set it up to synchronize both ways, as everytime I do this, all people in my Phone with either æ, ø or å in their name come in to my Outlook list as duplicates where the above-mentioned letters are replaced by some rubbish.
I assumed this was some language-settings but everywhere I can see my PC is set for danish and so is my phone.
What can I do to prevent this problem? Is there anywhere specific I have to change / modify some setting?

Hi richard116,
The BlackBerry Desktop Software requires a one time connection to the internet when configuring synchronization. Its possible this could be being blocked due to a firewall or anti-virus software. The following article should help you diagnose the cause and then resolve the issue so you can setup synchronization. http://bbry.lv/mfgghx
Hope this helps.

Does photoshop cs5 sdk support file names with unicode characters?

Hi,
For the export module, does the windows sdk have support for filenames with unicode characters?
The ExportRecord struct in PIExport.h has an attribute filename declared as char array.
So I have a doubt whether filenames with unicode characters will be supported for export module.
Thanks in advance,
Senthil.

SPPlatformFileSpecificationW is not available in ReadImageDocumentDesc.
It has SPPlatformFileSpecification_t which is coming as null for export module.
I am using phostoshop cs5 sdk for windows.
Thanks,
