File is appending instead of overwrite.

Hi
We have a file interface with overwrite settings. When tested from ECC the file is being overwritten as per the settings. When retested the same, the file is being appending data. The same is also tested from another Quality system and there also it is working fine.
Would like to know any specific reason for this behaviour and any solution for the same??

Adapater: File
Transport Protocol: File System(NFS)

Processing Parameters

Also chk if the cache notificatiosn are fine after doing this

Data load into Essbase (append instead of overwrite)

Hello,
We are loading data from oracle table to target Essbase cube. How do we handle ODI data load to append instead of overwrite last value?
Ex: We have data source with M:1 mapping, so we incoporated case statement [Case when Group A, B, C then D] is there a setting in ODI that allows data to append (add) instead of overwriting?
Currently, the data value in C is loaded into D instead of A+B+C into D.
Thanks.

You can put the CASE WHEN in the target mapping and still use a load rule, a load rule does not have anything to do with what you do in the target mappings.
Cheers

Can a metadata preset append instead of overwrite?

I Googled and then searched this forum with no luck. Thought this would be answered already:
Is it possible for a metadata preset to only overwrite a field if it is empty? I'd like to apply a preset to many files at a once but have it preserve data if it already exists.
I'm sure I can do this with external tools like ExifTool but would prefer an all-LR solution if possible.

Yes.
It'd be an easy plugin. Are you sure you don't want to use it as an excuse to get your feet wet with the new PluginGenerator/Framework?
Go ahead and slap me if I start pushin' too hard... ;-}

While downloading file to application server its overwriting the earlier fi

hi if i am using below code with date time stamp the file is downloaded to the application server correctly and each time i execut eht program a difference file is generated as date time stamp differs each time but
whne i remove the date time stamp ie sy-datum and sy-uzeit as we dont need to display the date time stamp with the file each time i execute the program a file is generated but it overwrites the ealier existing file please suggest as each time it shoul generate a new file....
Concatenate file name sy-datum sy-uzeit '.txt' into v_datetimefile
file on Appplication Server is selected
CALL FUNCTION 'FILE_GET_NAME'
     EXPORTING
            CLIENT                        = SY-MANDT
           logical_filename              = 'ZFILE'

Hi,
first of all decide you have to overwrite the existing file or you want to create the new, i think the answer is there in your query itself, if you want to create new then concatenate the date and time, else don't do that.
below are the additions we can use while opening the data set.
FOR INPUT
FOR OUTPUT
FOR APPENDING
IN BINARY MODE
IN TEXT MODE
AT POSITION p
TYPE ctrl

I cannot view pdf files on Safari, instead they download and open in viewer. How do I change this?

Does anyone have a solution for this???
"I cannot view pdf files on Safari, instead they download and open in viewer. How do I change this?"

Back up all data. Please read this whole message before doing anything, so you'll know what to expect.
Open Safari's preferences dialog and make notes of everything you would need to recreate the basic settings, such as your home page. That includes the settings of Safari extensions, if any are installed.
Triple-click the line below to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
Quit Safari. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar. Paste (command-V) into the box that opens and press return. A Finder window will open with a file selected. Move the selected file to the Desktop, leaving the window open.
Launch Safari. Its settings will have reverted to what they were they first time you launched it. Your bookmarks, history, and AutoFill data will be preserved.
Test. If Safari now works as expected, recreate its settings and delete the file you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, quit Safari again and put the file you moved back where it was, overwriting the newer one created in its place. Post your results.

Report Generation tool kit for MS office (Opening an existing excel file and appending to the bottom)

I don't have any problems creating and filling an excel sheet with data. I use the New Report.vi, Easy Title.vi, and Easy Text.vi to create the file. I then save and dispose properly.
What I don't seem to be able to do is open the exsting file and append data to the end of the sheet.
Thanks in advance for your help.
todd

Hi Todd,
You can do this by creating a new Excel report with the existing excel file path wired to the "template" input. Then use "Excel Get Last Row.vi" (located under Report Generation\Excel Specific\Excel General) to obtain the location of the last row. Then use that location to input new data into the file.
Hope this helps,
Dan

In Safari how do I open a .PDF file in Preview instead of Adobe Reader?

When a pdf file opens on my computer in Safari, it opens with Adobe Reader (v. 7.0.8). Until recently, I could right-click on my mouse and and a drop-down menu would appear with the option to open the pdf file in Preview instead of Adobe. That option has now disappeared from the drop-down menu. Can anyone explain how to get back the menu option to open the pdf file in Preview? Thanks. David

My computer automatically open PDF inside the Safari
window, but I wish it would go back to opening it
externally via Adobe. (maybe we should trade
computers:-)
Anyway, we have the same question.
How do we control whether PDF launches internal to
Safari, or external in Adobe?
This is what I would like to as well. I often have a lot of pdf files I need to open and then save to my hard drive. When I click on a pdf file on a website Safari opens it and then I need to right click in the document to open it with Adobe. How can I get it to open in Adobe the first time without having to right click after it opens in Safari?
Thanks!

Writing multiple arrays to a single xml file at seperate times without overwriting the previous file?

Hi my name is Dustin,
I am new to labview and teststand... I am trying to right multiple arrays of data to a single xml file. I can do this with a cluster but I have to create a variable for each of those arrays (21 arrays) and I was hoping to use the same variable for each array. Meaning I obtain my array of data write it to an xml file then replace that array in that variable with a new array and then call up my VI that writes that array to an xml file and write it to the same xml file underneath the first array without overwriting it. Attached is my VI I created to write an array to an xml file. Again I am wondering if there is a way to write multiple arrays to a single xml file at different times without overwriting the previous xml file.
Thanks

In Finder, trying to move files creates copies instead

This has happened to me on two different drives recently; on the internal HD of one computer, and on an external drive as well. When you drag a file from one folder to another, and both folders are on the same drive, this is supposed to move the file. But instead, Finder makes a copy, leaving the original as well. Doing this enough with large video files quickly eats up lots of space with these accidental duplicates. I'm perplexed ... any idea what could be going on?

Did Linc Davis's tip help you, skullmunky?
I have the same problem; and the permissions are "read and write" for all files ...
does anyone know what the problem could be?
thanks

Saving .ATT files to disk instead of emailing them?

In using Captivate 5.5 for reporting quiz results, the Help PDF states under "Specify e-mail preferences":
4. Specify whether the CSV content must be sent in the body of the e-mail, or as an attachment. The CSV content can be sent as an attachment only over Internet Explorer.
Note: The CSV content is sent as an attachment with the .att extension. Rename the file to a .csv extension and open it in Microsoft Excel.
We are using Kronos that needs the CSV output to a file system location, not sent as an email.
Can you save .ATT files to disk instead of emailing them??
Thank you.

Hello jckrueger,
It is unclear as to the type of disk you would like to save incoming faxes to, however you can send incoming faxes (or scanned documents) directly to email or a network folder with your imageCLASS D1370.
Here are the steps for your reference to forward faxes to email or a file server:
NOTE: When a fax document is transferred to an email or a file server, the document is converted to a PDF file.
Setting Document Transfer (Automatic Forwarding):
This allows you to specify whether a document is automatically transferred during receiving and where to be transferred.
NOTE:
Destinations that can be specified:
You can specify the followings as destinations.
- Fax
- E-mail (D1370 only)
- File server (D1370 only)
- Group destination
1. Press (Menu).
2. Select <System Settings> using [^] or [v] and press [OK].
3. Select <Forwarding Settings> using [^] or [v] and press [OK].
4. Select <Off> or <On> using [^] or [v] and press [OK].
<On> Starts to transfer received documents. Next, you need to configure transfer destinations.
<Off> Transfer is not performed.
When <On> is selected:
You can specify where to forward. You can specify only by the following approaches:
"Specifying destinations using one-touch keys"
"Specifying destinations using coded dial codes"
"Specifying destinations using the address book"
5. Press (Menu) to close the menu screen.

How can we put .ICO file on JButton instead of JPG or GIF etc. files

How can we put .ICO(Icon file) file on JButton instead of JPG or GIF etc. files
Regards
Satinderjit

Short answer:
You don't. ICO files are a native windows format.
Workarounds:
1) Convert your files to GIF.
2) Search for a library that can load ICO files.
3) Write a library that can load ICO files.

Creating a file in append mode

Hi All,
I have a requirement where in i need to create a flat file in append mode . The requirement is as follows :
- In a week , SAP sends certain number of IDOCs to XI . For the first IDOC that comes in ,XI has create a file and later for the rest of the IDOCs ,XI just has to append the file contents .
- During the End of the week , the target system picks this file for processing.
My file structure is as follows:
Header
seg1
seg2
seg2
seg3
seg3
seg1
seg2
seg2
seg3
seg3
Trailer.
So ,while creating a file in append mode , is there any way apart from creating one more interface to pick the finally created file , i can make sure that the file gets written in the above format without header and trailer getting repeated.
Regards
Vinay P.

Hi, Vinay
If you don't want to use a new interface, you can use a operating system command in your target communication channel..
The OS script must:
pick up only one header line and move it to a temporal file. For example, with UNIX command you can do that with
grep "criteria" file | head -1 > temporal_file
pick up each detail line and move it to the temporal file.
pick up only the last trailer line and move it to the temporal file
Rename temporal file to final flat file.
Regards,
Carme.

I cannot print any websites; every time I press "print" it goes to "save the file as [xps]" instead. What's up?

I cannot print any websites; every time I press "print" it goes to "save the file as [xps]" instead. What's up? I can print in Word without problem.

Bless you, bless you, bless you. After months of living with this annoying problem and not being able to print out emails or websites it is, in a stroke, totally solved. Thank you! It works. It's a wonder and you're a winner!
