File handling Question

Following is my sql script:

BEGIN
v_file := UTL_FILE.FOPEN('/home/oracle/tmp', 'test_file.txt', 'w');
UTL_FILE.PUT_LINE(v_file, 'This is aline 1!');
FOR v_counter IN 2..10 LOOP
UTL_FILE.PUTF(v_file, 'This is line %s!\n', v_counter);
END LOOP;
UTL_FILE.FCLOSE(v_file);
END;

I use scott/tiger to login sqlplus & run the script!
Is it the oracle user "directory" access right problem?
Anything missing and need to do?
How to do it? Can anyone HELP?
Thansk a lot.....

What are your UTL_FILE_DIR parameter setting(s) in init.ora?
Make sure that your Oracle user has write permissions to all the directories in the complete patch you specified.

How do I know if this variable is a file handle?

G'day
(This has also been posted on StackOverflow)
Say I have this code:
function doFileStuff(){
    var file = "";
    try {
        file = fileOpen(filePath);
        // do stuff with file
    finally {
        fileClose(file);
If the fileOpen() process fails, the fileClose() call will error. What I need to do is this sort of thing (pseudocode):
if (isFile(file)){
    fileClose(file);
I know I can test if file is an empty string still, and this works for me here, but it's not testing what I should be testing: whether file is a file handle. I can check the object's Java class, but this again sounds a bit hacky to me, and there should be a CFML way of doing it.
There should be something like just isFile(), shouldn't there? I can't find anything like this in the docs.
Any thoughts / tips? I have gone into more depth in my investigations on my blog. it's too wordy for here.
Cheers for any help.

That would just defer the issue.. fileOpen() doesn't return a boolean, so I can't go:
if (fileOpen(filePath)){
     fileClose(file);
fileOpen() returns a file object; or nothing if it fails. The whole thing is to identify whether it's a file. That's the question.
As per my original, it's dead easy to work around, provided one leverages known side effects of the situation (original variable state; that if it's a file it exposes some public properties; that one can doa getClass() on it via Java, etc), but one shouldn't have to work around something as fundamental as this. So I was wondering if I had missed something.
Seemingly not (based on feedback I've had from various quarters).

NFS: server reboot - client problem with "file handle" - no unmont

Hello,
when I restart a NFS-server and a client has a NFS-share on it still mounted, that NFS-share becomes unusable on the client: everything causes the client complain about an old "file handle", even trying to unmount that share!
So my question is: How to deal gracefully with a NFS-server reboot and avoiding this file handle problem?
Apart from going to each client and unmount the NFS-share by hand?
Thanks!

Do I need to Give these values manually again as they are moved from Env to other?
When we transport ID objects, the values stored in the channel get lost and have to be manually enetered......it happens even for DEV --> QA environment.
Now your channel should reflect PROD-related data.
2- Why my Receiver communiation channel coimg as
Communication Channel | PRD_400 | RFC_QA3_Receiver:
The channel name does not depend on the environment it is present....verify the name once again!

Difference in file handling on PowerPC macs and Intel macs

I have a Power PC mac at work and an intel mac at home. I've noticed that there is a difference in file handling between the two.
I cant pinpoint exactly what it is but has anyone else found this?

If your question is: Why is my work computer, which is over 7 years old, runs an old version of OS X (maybe leopard, maybe Tiger), with a now abandoned CPU architecture (PowerPC) different than my modern Mac Mini at home which runs Mountain Lion on an Intel CPU? Then my answer would be:
Your work computer is over 7 years old.
It runs an very old version of OS X, which is NOT Mountain Lion.
It runs on a CPU known as PowerPC, which is not been used by Apple since 2006.
Your home computer is more modern.
It runs OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.2.
It runs on an Intel CPU.
I can't pinpoint exactly what your question is, but I suspect that this information may help you answer it or in the alternative, ask it differently.

Bug in Flash Professional CC when launching debug launcher xml file handle not released

There appears to be a bug in either Adobe Flash Professional CC, or ADL when launching debug launcher for an AIR application Flash Professional CC automatically generates or updates the XML app descriptor file. The bug is that Flash Professional is not immedately releasing the file handle to the app descriptor XML file.
This bug was introduced in Flash Professional CC (Windows). It did not occur in CS5.5 or CS5.
The question is whether this is a bug related to the ADL, or if this bug is related specifically to Flash Professional CC (Windows).
Either way, where and how do I appropriately report this bug?

Hi Dharmendra,
Thank you for the solution. It is not what I expected, but it might look like a solution that "could" be applied.
There is still one problem with this approach. If I still use a movie with radial gradient within the bitmap, the same exact problem could occur again.
I was trying to understand if I did something wrong in my code, or it was a bug in the Flash software. I still find weird that I get different results by drawing a movie clip at different positions on a bitmap object. How can the drawing position change if the movie clip is drawn or not drawn? Why does it make mathematical patterns? I guess it has something to do with the precision numbers.
Meanwhile, I did a few extra tests. I tried a new approach with Blur and Glow effects. That is not exactly what I want, but it seems to create a transparent gradient. I might consider this approach if the basic radial gradient does not work. I also created a gradient transparency circle bitmap in Photoshop that I imported into my movie clip. It worked. So, at the moment I have two solutions that seem to be working.
I would appreciate if you could investigate the original problem. It looks like there is a problem in the rendering of Flash. Workarounds are fine sometimes, but I do not expect to developer programs on workarounds.

Does the logging API provide "Asynchronous File Handler", like log4j ?

Hi,
One more question about java.util.logging:
Does sun provide a standard "Asynchronous File Handler", equivalent to log4j AsyncFileAppender ?
The idea is, logging requests are placed into a queue, which is being consumed by a dedicated logging-IO thread.
Thanks.

it's a shame, really. the Logging API was blatantly inspired by Log4J, but it's just such a poor cousin in so many ways...

Finding open file handles from core file using mdb/dbx

Is it possible to find open file handles from a core file? The env is Solaris 5.10 SPARC.
regards
becks

Interesting question, but it's more about Solaris OS/libraries than about Sun Studio C++ compiler. While there's a chance of getting it answered here, I also recommend to post the same question on one of the OpenSolaris forums:

Open file handles to /proc under CentOS 5.2

I have installed XE using the oracle-xe-10.2.0.1-1.0.i386.rpm file downloaded from Oracle's website and have noticed a strange issue occurring on two machines (one is 32-bit the other x86_64).
After Oracle starts it seems to be enumerating the running processes of the machine and leaves open file handles to /proc/PID/cmdline even after the PID in question is no longer running.
Output from a few different utilities:
lsof | grep cmdline | grep oracle | awk '{print $9}' | uniq | wc -l
2106
ps aux | wc -l
134
So the number of unique open file handles for the oracle user is 2106 but only 134 processes are running on the system.
An example taken from running lsof | grep cmdline | grep oracle
oracle 16970 oracle 130r REG 0,3 0 1109196812 /proc/16925/cmdline
ps u 16970
oracle 16970 0.0 0.2 869452 9352 ? Ss 15:05 0:00 xe_q001_XE
There is no process running with a PID of 16925, and therefore nothing at /proc/16925, but oracle is still holding onto the file handle.
This issue is causing a problem for me due to some virtualization software I am running.
I do not see the same behavior on Oracle 10g Enterprise Edition.

tmp/ is (/opt/adobe/fms/tmp) 777 and owned by root, I even tried chown'ing to the user that runs fms, no luck.
tmp gets created when i run it the FIRST time:
[root@vid10 fms]# ls -al tmp/
total 8
drwxrwxrwx 2 admin admin 4096 Apr 8 21:15 .
drwxr-xr-x 11 admin admin 4096 Apr 8 21:09 ..

-rwxrwxrwx 1 admin admin 0 Apr 8 21:09 __FCS__serverstats__shm_mtx
Could it be something with the shm setting, maybe sysctl?
I have 4GB of ram in this machine. Same exact machine works perfect on rhel 4
I appreciate your quick reply.

Hold down the Option key while you boot your Mac. Then, it should show you a selection of devices. Click your flash drive and it will boot from that.

Can't delete file after renaming due to Word file handle still present. Error staes document is still in use but it's really not. Worked fine in 2007 but not in 2010.

I have some code associated with a Word Template. The template is opened, filled out and saved via a routing in vba. This all works fine in older 2007 version (which is version it was originally created in). Once this file is saved, the user can change the
date in a text box and re-save document. The code saves using the new date for part of new file name and then deletes that older file from the server. It fails at the delete function because the newer version of word is not dropping the file handle from the
first named file when user saves it to the new filename. In older version (2007) this handle was released as soon as file was saved to a different name. I can't seem to figure out how to release the old document filename so the old document file can be deleted.
I hope I explained this well enough.

mogulman52 and Don,
I went back and looked at my code and had already updated it to SaveAs in the new docx format. It still holds the lock handle in place until Word closes, unlike earlier versions which released the lock handle when you did a SaveAs.
As a note, all my Word and Excel macro-enabled (dotm & xltm) templates are read only and are never filled in, prompting the user for a file name on any close event or if they run the code gets auto-named. I do the SaveAs and concatenate the file name
from data on the document (or sheet) that has been filled in. During the SaveAs the docx gets saved to a network folder and also on a local folder. The lock gets renamed to the filename and remains until Word is closed.
So my code still fails at the point noted below while trying to delete an old filename version after the file has been saved as a new filename in a new folder. So....
The code is looking in the last folder where the docx file was saved for the older filename so it can be deleted. The newest docx version has already been saved in a different folder and has a new lock handle of its own. That lock is not my problem, it's
the older file lock which really exists in the same folder as the first filename that the docx was saved to. It does not release that lock until I exit Word. My work around has been to instruct all users to manually delete the older version file.
The other odd thing is this only happens when I run it from code, if you manually go through these steps with the SaveAs menu drop-downs in Word it will release the lock handle???
Hope this isn't to confusing and thanks for all your suggestions and help.

How Do RoboHelp 9 WebHelp Generated Files Handle Map IDs and Aliases?

The text below was written by our team's developer/architect. I am the help author who uses RoboHelp to write content and generate the help files, but I am clueless how it all gets generated and is deployed. Please help. We use RoboHelp 9. I use it in Windows XP and our app and help run on IE 7, 9, and Firefox (multiple versions).
"Our application uses the numeric identifiers associated with the Map ID. For example, to get to the <appname>_home_page.htm file, we use the number 1053. <appname> = pecs, in this example.
All of this is used in a call to a RoboHelp method defined in the RoboHelp_CSH.js file. The mehtod we are calling is the RH_ShowHelp() JavaScript method and the code to perform the call, when you click on Page Help, is this:
RH_ShowHelp(0, ''/pecsHelp/index.htm>pecsHelp',HH_HELP_CONTEXT,topic);
Topic is translated to the Map ID number for the page help. HH_HELP_CONTEXT is defined in the RoboHelp_CSH.js file. This method translates into a URL and from what I have seen, the URL that gets generated is this:
http://{server}[:port]/pecsHelp/index.htm/{server}[:port]/pecsHelp/index.htm#<id=1053>>pecsHelp
Server and port get replaced with the appropriate values. I have no clue how id=1053 is supposed to get translated to mean "pecs_home_page.htm". If you check the PECS_help.h file, you will see the following entry:
#define PECS_Home_Page1 1053
Then in the RoboHelp alias file (PECS 3.0.ali), the following line is in the file:
<alias name="PECS_Home_Page1" link="pecs_home_page.htm"> </alias>
But both of these files are used during the WebHelp generation process and I don't know how the WebHelp generated files handle the Map ID and aliases."

You need to assign the numbers you find in the pecs_help.h file to topics in your help. You do this in Context Sensitive Help > Map Files > All Map IDs. (From RH7, but I assume the location is similar in RH9.) This creates the entries in the .ali file.
Peter Grainge suggests a couple of sites to read for a greater understanding here:
http://www.grainge.org/pages/authoring/calling_webhelp/using_map_ids.htm
(Although the second site is based on RH X5, the basic concepts and procedures should be very similar. )

Error in creating IO file handles for job (number 3152513)

Hi All -
I am using Tidal 5.3.1.307. And the Windows agent that is running these jobs is at 3.0.2.05.
Basically the error in the subject was received when starting a particular job once it was cancelled and a couple of other different jobs a few days before. These jobs have run successfully in the past.
This particular job was running for 500+ minutes when it should run at an estimated 40 minutes. At that time it would not allow for a re-start of the job, it just stayed in a launched status.
Trying to figure out what causes this error.
Error in creating IO file handles for job 3152513
Note - from that being said we were to see 2 instances of this process running at the same time, we noticed some blocking on the DB side of things.
Trying to figure out if this is a known tidal issue or a coding issue or both.
Another side note, after cancelling the 2nd rerun attempt the following error was encountered: Error activating job, Duplicate.
When we did receive the Error creating IO file, the job did actually restart, but Tidal actually lost hooks into it and the query was still running as an orphan on the db server.
Thanks All!

The server to reboot is the agent server. You can try stopping the agent and then manually deleting the file. That may work. When the agent is running the agent process may keep the file locked, so rebooting may not be sufficient.
The numerical folders are found as sub-directories off of the services directory I mentioned. I think the numbers correspond to the job type, so one number corresponds to standard jobs, another to FTP jobs. I'd just look in the numbered directories until you find a filename matching the job number.
The extensions don't really matter since you will want to delete all files that match your job number. There should only be one or two files that you need to delete and they should all be in the same numbered sub-directory.
As to the root cause of the problem, I can't really say since it doesn't happen very often. My recollection is that it is either caused by a job blowing up spectacularly (e.g. a memory leak in the program being launched by Tidal) or someone doing something atypical with the client.

Problem with „Empty-File Handling" in PI 7.11

Hi,
Iu2019m working in PI 7.11 with file adapter, Sender CC, option: Empty-File Handling: Process Empty Files.
What I want to do is giving target file the system-date, if the source file is empty.
But I always get a mapping error in RTWB: Premature end of file.
It seems that the payload is empty.
Any idea?
Thanks a lot in advance!
Rene Dong
Edited by: Rene Dong on Aug 31, 2010 4:20 PM

What I want to do is giving target file the system-date, if the source file is empty.
The error you are getting makes sense. You should do a check in the mapping, if the payload is empty then use brute force to pass the system date.

"The document could not be opened. Bad file handle." Error

Greetings,
I have many operators opening documentation using acrobat reader 8.1.2. When the documents are opened, sometimes a change has to be done to the file. I use computer management to "kick" everyone out of the files, update the .pdf, and then they can re-open the file to see the latest and greatest version. The problem is, if not everyone is out of the file, I sometimes get a ""The document could not be opened. Bad file handle." error, and have to usually wait a period of time before it will let anyone in. I think it has something to do with the windows temp files, but am unsure. It's hard to ensure everyone is out of the document on time, as up to 50 people may be in it at the same time.
Is there perhaps a better way of publishing the new verison of the document?
Thanks for any help you can provide!

these two errors below is what I am receiving when do a program integrity scan: common program locations.
I have done a repair on acrobat reader and I do have the two dll files I even put them in reader folder and still receiving the errors.
missing file:"c:\program file\adobe\reader 8.0\reader\acrord32.exe"
"c:\program files\adobe\reader 8.0\reader\acrord32.exe"cannot access a necessary file,"msvcp80.dll

Empty File Handling in xLink adapter

Helloo Experts
I am doing a scenario, which creates an empty file(when some mapping condition doesnt satisfy).
I dont want to write this empty file in the target directory.
This can be handled if a file adapter is used, but I am using a SOAP AXIS adapter, so I dont know how to handle this here.
I alaso tried using the StrictXml2PlainBean to avoid the creation, it creates 0 documents and a 0kb empty file.
Can anyone please let me know how this can be solved????
Also if some one has done this empty file handling in J2SE file adapter...can you tell how it was done.
Thanks a lot!!!!!!
Regards
Shobha

Hi Gabriel,
You can write a simple script to copy a file from source folder to target in case the fiel size is ZERO bytes. The script will not copy the file if the filesize is more than zero bytes, This will be processed normally by PI server. You can call the script from sender communication channel parameter : "RUN OS command before message processing". Could you please specify the Operating System (OS) you are using in your PI server.

Anupam
