File Path and Name

Hi everyone,
I am scheduling reports in Crystal Reports Server. My reports contain the "Special Field" File Path and Name. However, when the report is sent out via CRS, it prints a different location of where the report actually resides. In CRS, how can I make the file path and name field print the actual location of the report file rather than a rogue location?
Thanks in advance,
Zack H.

Does anyone have any advice on this issue?

File Path and Name field does not display correct path

We are using Crystal 2008 along with VS 2005. We embed the special "File Path and Name" field inside our report and it displays the correct path when viewed inside Crystal reports:
C:\Program Files\reports\Chart.rpt
When run through the web and viewed in the DHTML viewer, the file name and path appear as follows:
C:\Windows\TEMP\Chart {02152A43-3339-4C03-A50A-E281E1D391AF}.rpt
How can this be corrected?
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

This is a known issue tracked under ADAPT0000962216. At this time I do not know when this will be resolved, however Service Pack 2 for CR 2008 is targeted to be released by September and this may contain the fix.

Get (variable) file path and name in a text element

How do you get the (variable) file path and name in a text element (label) in LCD? If you save the PDF and afterwards relocate it, it should update the values. Is that actually possible?

Does anyone have any advice on this issue?
Thanks in advance,

"File Path and Name" field not displaying correctly

Post Author: DaveWoo
CA Forum: General
Hello,Here's my situation: I'm currently upgrading from Crystal Reports for Visual Studio .NET 2003 to Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2005. I have several reports (programmatically generated using VB.NET) that use the "File Path and Name" special field. Now, in the old version of Crystal Reports (2003), the field properly displayed the original file path and name; however, in the new version (2005), the field displays as "C:\DOCUME1\Username\LOCALS1\Temp\Filename{F2459406-3719-4C8B-917C-4A7055A18C76}.tmp" - in other words, the location of the temporary .rpt file.How do I get the "File Path and Name" field to correctly display the path & name of the original file, like it did in the prior version?- Dave

What is the correct way to format file paths and names in the structapp file?

I am trying to create a structured application to export fm files as xml, and probably read the xml back to fm.
In the structured application file (structapp), I need to specify the locations of the various files (DTD, read/write, template, etc). I would like to place these files on a shared server so others can use the same structapp file (that is, a cop of it). What is the correct way to format the file paths and names? Can folders folder names and file names have spaces in them? I tried the following, for example:
\\serverName\shareName\folder 1\folder 2\file name.dtd
I use the same format for the template file and the read/write rules file.
When I try to save an fm file to xml, FrameMaker says that it cannot read the DTD; however, the resulting xml file appears to be well-formed. The DOCTYPE element in the resulting xml is formatted with forward slashes and spaces replaced with %20.
I tried using forward slashes and replacing spaces with %20, but then I get an error about reading the read/write rules.
NOTE: I have another structured application to read xml into fm. This application does not have a DTD file. The template and read/write rules files are specified as above. Except for complaining about a lack of a DTD, the application works fine; it even applies an XSLT in the process. Again, when I DO add a DTD to this latter application, I get the same complaint about not being able to read the DTD.
I am using fully patched FrameMaker 9 in Windows XP.
Thanks,
Van

Hi Van,
The XML parser and FrameMaker are not the same thing. The Error Log says which component created which message. The XSL processor is another option that can throw messages. The "\\server\path\some.dtd" syntax in structapps.fm seems to be fine for some tools, as Internet Explorer with XML tools successfully finds the DTD which appears as "//server/path/some.dtd" in the XML. But apparently Xerxes, the XML parser bundled with FrameMaker, does not like this notation.
If you have a path with a drive letter, "H:\path\some.dtd", FrameMaker turns that into "file:///H:/path/some.dtd". It seems, Xerces would like to see "file:/" in front of absolute paths.
This is what I have in structapps.fm:
Template: \\server\path\projecttemplate.fm
DTD: some.dtd
Read/write rules: \\server\path\projectrules.txt
DOCTYPE: …
Entity locations
Entity search paths
1: \\server\path\
In the structapps.fm I have the DTD without path information. The resulting XML (without XSL postprocessing) then contains just the file name with a relative path back to the book folder (when saving a book as XML). It therefore requires the DTD to be available at this place. I handle this using an event script that fires for NotePreSaveXml and copies the DTD to the folder of the original document.
As I always use XSL postprocessing and using XSLT1 it is not possible to have the doctype-system as a parameter I have this in my XSL stylesheet:
<xsl:output doctype-system="some.dtd" />
For the resulting XML the DTD is expected to be in the same folder as the XML file. This is handled by the same event script as above, it therefore copies the DTD to the source and the target folder.
Bottom line: If you want/have to use UNC paths, you have to do some programming to work around a FrameMaker bug.

Function module for logical file path and name

Hello all,
I am wondering is there any function module available to translate a logical file path to a physical file path and a logical file name to a physical file name? Thanks a lot!

           parameter_1 = it_cntry-cntry
         IMPORTING
           file_name        = l_file
         EXCEPTIONS
           file_not_found   = 08.
    CALL FUNCTION <b>'FILE_GET_NAME_USING_PATH'</b>       EXPORTING

FTP adapter should take file path and name at runtime..

Hello All,
I have requirement of getting the file from remote machine into local machine..thinking FTP adapter should help me to do this..
I dont need to poll the remote directory. rather I will pass the exact path and name of the file to be fetched during runtime as an input to the bpel process.
How to configure the FTP Adapter to receive the file path runtiime and gets it to local machine.
Is it doable using ftp adapter..?
Thanks
Saikrishna

Hello Anne,
Thank you for the help.
I am not able to call a adapter partner link using invoke activity..I am facing variable type conflicts.
modified the
OutboundFtpHeaderType wsdl to take file name and directory as:
<complexType>
<sequence>
<element name="*fileName*" type="string"/>
<element name="*directory*" type="string"/>
</sequence>
</complexType>
Using Adapters tab of Invoke activity created a variable:
<variable name="outputVariable"
messageType="client:FTPadapterResponseMessage"/>
<variable name="*filePath*" messageType="ns2:OutboundHeader_msg"/>
Using Assign Activity, assigned the input varibales to the ftp outboundHeader variable:
<assign name="Assign_1">
<copy>
<from variable="inputVariable" part="payload"
query="/client:FTPadapterProcessRequest/client:*directory*"/>
<to variable="*filePath*" part="outboundHeader"
query="/ns2:OutboundFTPHeaderType/ns2:directory"/>
</copy>
<copy>
<from variable="inputVariable" part="payload"
query="/client:FTPadapterProcessRequest/client:*filename*"/>
<to variable="*filePath*" part="outboundHeader"
query="/ns2:OutboundFTPHeaderType/ns2:fileName"/>
</copy>
</assign>
Used the created variable in the invoke activity as a input paramater to the partner link:
<invoke name="Invoke_1" partnerLink="ftpAdapterTest"
portType="ns1:SynchRead_ptt" operation="SynchRead"
inputVariable="*filePath*" bpelx:inputHeaderVariable="filePath"/>
<reply name="replyOutput" partnerLink="client" portType="client:FTPadapter"
operation="process" variable="outputVariable"/>
I am getting an error in invoke activity:
Variable type does not match the input type.
Thanks

How to create result file path and name in teststand

Hi,
I would like to create specific path(folder) and file name to result files. For example ..\date\ArticleNr\DateTimeSerialNr.xml. Thank you very much in adance.
Kri.

Kri,
You can use Configure >> Report Options, and then select the Report File Pathname tab to configure where your reports will end up, and what the file name will be. If you want to have these be different for each sequence, then add the ReportOptions Callback to each sequence and then modify the settings in the Parameters.ReportOptions container to what you want.
This link may also be helpful as it talks about what you're are trying to do: Report File Name

How to auto save instrument output data to Excel with preset file path and names

Hi,
I'm having this auto saving problem. The type of my instrument output is ''1-D array of cluster of two elements''. I tried to use ''Report Generation Toolkit", but it seems the data type doesn't match. Anybody got ideas about the data type conversion? Other possible approaches are also welcome!
Thanks!!

Max length of VI file paths and file names

Hi,
Is there a maximum allowed length of VI file paths and file names in LabVIEW? I'm running LV 6.0.2i on NT and is trying to save a VI inside a LLB and LabVIEW crashes each time. I have also tried to copy the VI from the LLB to a temp folder with the Librarian VI, but LabVIEW crashes as well. The total length of the file path is around 260 characters and I strongly suspect the file path length in combination with LLB because when I use a shorter path the problem disappear. If I use a long path without LLB (just regular VIs) a warning appear "Invalid file name" instead of LabVIEW crashing.
Does anybody know the solution to this problem or must I use shorter filepaths? Perhaps it depends on which platform I am running
LV on?
Sincerely,
Mattias Ericsson

I believe windows has a 255 character pathname (file+path) limit. We once
had that problem because we had a long filename and a longer pathname.
Moved the directory up a couple levels and problem solved.

Specify the output file path and print name when printing pages

hi,
how can i Specify the output pdf file path and print name when i am using the function PrintPagesSilent from AcroAVDoc Object.
My Code :-
Acrobat.AcroAVDoc doc = new Acrobat.AcroAVDoc();doc.Open(path,
"temp");

Dear Irosenth,
i try with different format (doc, docx, xls, jpg, bmp and txt) and it working successfully, but it give an random name for the file which saved in default folder for Adobe PDF print.
you can use the following function:
private void PrintPDF(string[] inputfilepath){
foreach (string path in inputfilepath){
Acrobat.
AcroAVDoc doc = new Acrobat.AcroAVDoc();doc.Open(path,
"temp");
Boolean v = doc.PrintPagesSilent(0, ((Acrobat.AcroPDDoc)(doc.GetPDDoc())).GetNumPages() - 1, 0, 0, 1);doc.Close(1);
and calling it by the following code:
PrintPDF(System.IO.Directory.GetFiles("c:\\t\\printjob"));
copy all files that you want to convert in side the mentioned path and run it program, then check the defualt print path for Adobe PDF printer.
test it and reply me. thanks again

Path and Name field in SPD 2010 Workflow for creating Doc Sets

Hi Guys,
Here's hoping you can help out and give a few pointers. I'm currently trying to implement what I thought was quite a simple workflow involving the creation of a Content Type (similar to Doc Set but with additional field) within an alternative library when
a new item is added to the current library.
Create Item in CaseFileLibrary (Output to Variable: CaseFile)
When running the workflow, I keep getting the following error:
"The workflow could not create the list item because the file name is either missing or invalid. "
It seems to be related to the 'File and Path' field within the 'Create New List Item' field mappings. For this I have tried the CurrentItem:Title as some other forums suggest and have also tried entering the URL path e.g. /subsite_name/library_name/CurrentItem:Title.
(as the name of the CaseFile (Doc Set) is going to be the same as the current item name)
If anyone has any suggestions, I would be truely greatful.
Luke

Hi Luke,
This error indicates there is an error in the workflow logic. Ensure that the file name entered in the Path and Name field is a valid file name. Common reasons for a file name to be invalid include a missing or incorrect file extension or a file/path string
that is too long and exceeds the allowable number of characters.
More information, please refer to :
Common error messages in SharePoint workflow development
For the URL that you used in the ‘Create New List Item’, whether the CurrentItem:Title is a lookup, not typed by yourself. If not, please type /subsite_name/library_name/, then lookup CurrentItem:Title, like the below, then save and publish the workflow,
compare the result.
In addition, please use another name for the name, compare the result.
Best Regards,
Wendy

Pg Number, File path and date automatically printed?

Is there a way to automatically print the page number, complete file path and date at bottom of each page (set to landscape)?
Thanks!

Thanks Carlos,
It looks like the work72a would work if we were using macs, but we're not...
And there is NO WAY my boss will pay $999 for the other one, even if it did work.
So, now I'm open to other suggestions. We have hundreds of clients that we do work for, and our jobs are organized in folders for each client. A lot of clients with the same name but different locations (ie., Fox Meadow OH, Fox Meadow TX), and each has a different folder. The files are named by dept and year (ie., 2012 Glass, 2012 Art). We often access old files (which, there are thousands of, because they have been organized this way for years.) We need to have the client folder on the page along with the file name (hence the file path).
The script that Carlos created is great, but there are too many steps. Open the script, change location and select info to be displayed (3 steps), close script. There are days we access 50 jobs and the script just added 5 plus steps to each job.
Is there a way to use a hot key run a script that will place the info when and where we need it and auto close the script? Or is there a way to display the full path (in the Illustrator tab?) where we can see which folder the file is in and we will manually type the folder? Or does anyone have another suggestion?

Create a tablespace without specifying the datafile path and name

HI,
Is it possible to create a tablespace without specifying the datafile path and name.
For eg : if we just specify the tablespace name and the size of the datafile, the datafile should be created in a default location with default name? Is it possible?

Oracle internally uses standard file system interfaces to create and delete files as needed for the following database structures:
* Tablespaces
* Online redo log files
* Control files
Through initialization parameters, you specify the file system directory to be used for a particular type of file.
EXAMPLE:
The following parameter settings are included in the initialization parameter file:
DB_CREATE_FILE_DEST = '/u01/oradata/sample'
DB_CREATE_ONLINE_LOG_DEST_1 = '/u02/oradata/sample'
DB_CREATE_ONLINE_LOG_DEST_2 = '/u03/oradata/sample'
The following statement is issued at the SQL prompt:
SQL> CREATE DATABASE sample;
SQL> CREATE TABLESPACE tbs_2 DATAFILE SIZE 400M ;
SQL> CREATE UNDO TABLESPACE undotbs_1;

Using AppleScript/Automator to get file path and create AFP hyperlink

Hi All,
A colleague has asked for a service (contextual menu item in Finder) to get a selected item's remote (afp://) file path and copy it to the clipboard... Pretty sure I've got that part down.
What I need advice on is how to make the resulting pasted file path into a serviceable hyperlink. AFP keeps telling me there was an error connection to the server.... Does the copied path have to include mounting commands and user credentials for this to work??
Thanks,
Nathan

Hi Richard - here's the script:
tell application "Finder"
          set sel to the selection as text
          set TempTID to AppleScript's text item delimiters
          set AppleScript's text item delimiters to space
          set sel to text items of sel
          set AppleScript's text item delimiters to "%20"
          set sel to sel as string
          set AppleScript's text item delimiters to TempTID
set the clipboard to "file://" & POSIX path of sel
end tell
