File search in a folder stored on a server

hi guys.
I need to write a program which seaches a file in a folder stored on a server for upload. The next time the program searches again it must not pick files that have already been uploaded. I am wondering if there is a way to that?
Thank you in advance.
willard

Hi and welcome willard,
1) use fm EPS_GET_DIRECTORY_LISTING for searching
2) mark your processed files:
a) rename your file with mv ->
Re: FM to rename files in ABAP
e.g.: mv data_2006_001 data_2006_001.FIN
or b) save your processed files in customer-table and validate aginst that table
hope taht helps

P.S.
please reward useful answers
Thank you !

Saving a file in a particular folder over the tomcat server

I have a java class in the background of a JSP which creates an XML file and saves it.
Furthermore another class picks that file and processes it. While running this program on my local computer it is obviously working fine but in order to run it on a tomcat server or for that matter any server, I want it to save the XML file in a particular folder, for example:
tomcat_home/webapps/myapplication/ xmlfolder / something. xml
so that my other class can easily pick up the file and I dont need to change the location each time I change the server.

You can get the context root(the place from wher the aplication is running) of your application and then save the file somwhere, but i >>woulden't recomend that. But this is what you are looking for.How ?
You can also just save the file, it will be saved in a temp directory. (use this only if the file is a temp file not for storing purposes)Just saving the file somehow doesnt work for me as the folder where a class is saving a file by default is somehow different from the folder where another class is trying to pick a file by default. Even if I give no path
Other option is just to configure a tomcat system variable that specifys an folder. You can get that property from your application and >>then save the files there.Im not able to consider this one because the application will be put on different servers by different people later so they would all then need to configure their systems just to read a file. I was sure there were better ways. :(

I lost a Mail folder stored on the .Mac server: Now how do I restore it?

With the new .Mac Mail put in place today, I somehow deleted a mail folder stored on the server. Fortunately, I just backed up this file last night.
Specifically, I backed it up by click-dragging all the mail stored on the Mail .Mac server to my desktop. That desktop file reads: Mac-username
Inside that desktop file, virtually all the mailboxes end with .imapmbox
Problem is, I can't figure out how to restore this folder. I tried turning Mail off and inserting the desktop backup copy into Library/Mail, etc., then restarting, but the one missing folder does not reappear on the server!
Perhaps I need to erase all the .Mac Mail files on the server first?
Any help greatly appreciated.
MacBook Pro, iMac 20" Intel Core Duo Mac OS X (10.4.8) Would like to sell my iMac 20" Intel Core Duo (1GB)

You’re welcome.
I don’t think what you observed was caused by something you did wrong. Rather, it looks like a glitch in Mail.
As to how messages on the server can be backed up, I’d rather (1) copy them into custom "On My Mac" mailboxes in Mail first, then backup these, or (2) save them in standard mbox format (which must be imported as Other to bring them back into Mail), i.e. do File > Save As and choose Raw Message Source from the Format popup menu.
Backing up the data that Mail caches locally isn’t safe because it might or might not allow you to recover the messages afterwards depending on a variety of things, such as the account settings and the format used by the mail client to cache the messages locally (if any). What you did wouldn’t have worked in Mail 1.x without the aid of a third party utility, for example, no matter what the settings.

How to move all files from a folder for a user to a centralized folder on a core server

Hello,
I'm curious if there is a batch file that can be made to move the contents that are setup like this....
I'm having to redo a TS cluster and I'd like to make a batch file script that can be executed that moves the contents of say 'jsmith's local desktop profile @ \\NGTTS1\users\jsmith to a centralized folder on our roaming desktop profile server that saves
all of the files for the desktops @ \\NGTFS1\users\jsmith.
The problem I have is no matter what I tell users to save there files to our Y drive that is a folder that is synced across all 6 of our TS servers, users still store files on there desktops, so as you can imagine if one day they are on one server, then
next day they could be on another and there files aren't the same.... hence the reason why I want to move all there files to the centralized server so when I redo the profiles from scratch on the TS server in the farm they suck files from the core server and
have all of the files they are used to having....
Now I know I can do this with a MOVE command I've just never done one to this exact.
Hopefully someone knows the command to move all the contents of one folder on one server to the folder on a different server. I've already got the bulk of the coding done of the .bat script I just don't know this move command:
would it be this:
move \\NGTTS1\users\jsmith *.* \\NGTFS1\users\jsmith
any help would be appreciated, I'm sure this is a easy command to do!
This is the coding I have so far....

In Windows we would do this using Group Policy. There is a Policy setting that csn move the Desktop folder to any server you want to move it to. Once set it will automatically do this for you.
You should post in the Group Policy forum to find out how we use Group Policy to manage users profiles in Windows.
You cannot use a script to relocate a users Desktop folder. The desktop is locked by the time the users logon script is finished running. It the desktop and profile are already being managed by Group Policy then this can only be done with GP.
There are also numerous issues associated with deployment and re-deployment that you need to address Post your questions in the Winows Deployment forum to get assistance with deployment issues.
Again - want you are asking is not generally possible because of how Windows is designed. This would only likely work on a simple system or on a stand alone PC and then only under a very limited set of circumstances.
Use GP folder redirection to do this. For deployment use Deployment Forum and for TS specific issues post in the RDS forum.
All of this needs to be considered correctly for TS users inn a TS Cluster environment. (TS Cluster?? - not sure what you mean by that.

ITunes not storing files in iTunes media folder location

A number of years ago I wanted to move my itunes media files to an external drive. At the time an article was posted that explained how to do such that. Additionally the article explained how to put the media files in one folder on the external file server and all the itunes definition files in another folder on the same external file server. It worked perfectly! All seemed well. Of course since making this change there have been many many updates to iTunes and the OS.
Recently, I was scanning through the folders of the external file server and noticed some media files that appeared in the iTunes application listing were missing in the physical iTunes media folder (folder A). After a little searching I found the media files were in the iTunes definitions folder (folder B). Initially I thought somehow I had changed the folder location under the iTunes advanced tab. I checked it stilled pointed to the ORIGINAL folder A location. Yet iTunes had for a while as it turns out had created a whole new media folder tree and was adding the media files to that media tree (folder B). This is the folder the original only contained the iTunes definitions.
Thinking I had made a mistake somewhere sometime ago, I copied all the media files to the proper folder (folder A) and reset the iTunes Media folder location to point to folder A. All was fine.
Today I added some new media to the iTunes library and once again, iTunes created a new media folder tree in folder B were only the iTunes definitions are supposed to be stored. So once again I moved the media files to the proper folder.
There is no question THIS IS A SOFTWARE BUG. It does NOT matter what folder location is specified in the Preferences->Advanced->itunes media location is specified, iTunes will either CHANGE the folder location to wherever the definitions files are located or begin putting the media files where the definitions files are located even though the iTunes media location is setting to a different folder.
when this started I do not know. I have been using itunes for a number of years and once I had my external file server set up never had reason to check it.
One might ask why put the media files in one location and the definition files in another location. That is because there was a time when iTunes for some reason would think it definition files were corrupted and start to do nasty things to the media library. Once I lost a number of songs it is then when I found a note in this forum that suggested putting the definitions in one folder and the media in another folder. It was great idea. Is there a work around of a fix for this bug?

Some additional information.
When I click the apps tab in iTunes, some of the applications listed are actually songs (the songs are also shown in the music list and point to the proper location), when I click Get Info on some of the apps, it points to a song, and some apps that actually exist in the Mobile Apps folder are shown to located in a song folder. Bottom line the apps database is corrupted.
When I consolidated the music files I did not touch the mobile applications folder. As best I can tell all the movies and songs are fine (about 3000 items in total).
When I export the library it does not include the apps in the xml file. So deleting the iTunes DB and re-importing the .xml will not work.
To recap. All the songs and movies are in one folder (folder A). This is the folder listed in the Preferences->Advanced->Itunes media location. The apps folder is located in a different folder (folder B) where the iTunes definition files are located. How they got there I do not know.
How do I fix the apps tab and have the app icons (and physical applications) to point to the proper location? Also to remove the songs listed in the apps list without removing the song from the iTunes library.

Looking for answers on XMP files - where should they be stored as sidecar files? With the original raw file or in a separate folder?

Looking for answers on XMP files - where should they be stored as sidecar files? With the original raw file or in a separate folder?
Relatively new user of Adobe LR5 and PS CC, about a year old.
If they should be stored somewhere beside the folder that contains the originals, where and how to change the settings?
If I choose to write metadata to the original files, is that sidecar files or does the XMP file show separately?
To be honest, I usually find a video and I cannot figure this out. I have never received an answer on any of my questions by the way.

Hi there,
You answered a prior question from me so I wanted to reach out to you about this. I just need a step by step on how, if possible, to View LRCC on my MacBookPro when the main interface is on my iMac

The file "search.savedSearch" couldn't be saved in the folder "Today".

The file “search.savedSearch” couldn’t be saved in the folder “Today”. No mention of where this directory/folder is ...
This is the error message I get every time I try to access 'Open an Existing WorkFlow' in Automator.
I am just starting to learn how to use this app. I have tried looking for files of this name and even content and have tried to scan my time machine backups but no luck. I realise this must be a working file keeping track of recent files opened by the OS but I have found nothing under System e.t.c. Any help as to how I can solve this would be appreciated.

I have no idea why you're getting any message associated with a smart folder. When you click on the *Open an Existing WorkFlow* button when launching Automator, you should get a Open dialog window asking for you to drill to the workflow location. The OS supplied workflows are in /Library/Application\ Support/Apple/Automator/Workflows/. Ones you create are where you store them. All I can suggest is to move the com.apple.Automator.plist and com.apple.Automator.LSSharedFileList.plist files out of your user's /Library/Preferences/ to the Desktop, restart, and try Automator again.

Search string in any type file of a specified folder(DW能查找任意类型文件中的源代码吗)

If search a string in a unfrequent type file,we can add this type in DW's MMDocumentTypes.xml.
But if a project has many many different unfrequent type files,I hope DW can support search string in any type file of a specified folder.
Can DW help me? I really love DW very very much.

hello shweta,
Here is a batch script that will do this for you:
batch file begin ********************************************
@ ECHO OFF
:READFILE
SET | FIND "SEARCH_STRING" source.txt > NUL
IF ERRORLEVEL 1 GOTO READFILE
IF ERRORLEVEL 0 GOTO END
sleep 5
GOTO READFILE
:END
batch file end ***********************************************
here, SEARCH_STRING is the string that will be searched in file source.txt. This SEARCH_STRING denotes the end of file (the file is ready to be transferred).
This batch file should be called from PI "Run OS command before processing of the message".
I tried this on my system and it worked for me.
Just check at your end. I hope this will solve your query.
Regards, Gaurav.

Huge file in one of the search index partition folder

Hi,
I got a very strange situation in my SP farm. I have two index partitions on two WFE servers, each has Index Partition 0 and 1. On one of them, starting yesterday a very huge file grew over 30GB in the Index Partition 0 - Journal folder. I found the same
file in other Journal folder, most of them with less than 100MB.
Anyone has insight on this kind of behavior? Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Edwin

Hi Edwin,
Please help collect the following information for further troubleshoot：
1.Check the Search Application Topology if the index partition is in normal state.
2.Check the ULS log if there are any errors when the issue happened.
Best Regards,
Wendy

Create a Document with an original file stored on application server

Hello,
I start with document managment system : i am able to create new document (CV01N) manually, add a local file and check-in this file.
Now we need to store file which are stored on the SAP Application Server.
Firstly, in the GUI of transaction CV01N, i don't know how to browse file on application server. All files i can't attach as original, are files i can access from my computer.
Is it possible to access also on application server files ?
Moreover, i have to define function module which have to
- Create a document (DMS)
- Attach an orginial file which is stored on application server
- Check-in the file
This function module will be called from a web application
I define this kind of function and run it correctly with a local file (stored on my computer) : i call BAPI "BAPI_DOCUMENT_CREATE2" and "BAPI_DOCUMENT_CHECKIN2"
But i don't how to do with a file stored on application server. I see also note 504692 and try a program like ZZUZTEST_TEST_CHECKIN which use FM CVAPI_DOC_CHECKIN but it return an error Error uploading E:\usr\sap\TD1\DVEBMGS00\data\FACTURE.txt" (this path and file exist on application server and is really the file i want to checkin)
Please could you confirm what i search, is possible or not.
If possible, could help me with some explanations and guidelines and perhaps a sample ?
Thank you very much.

This is a bit tricky. I spent lots of hours about this .
You have to set PF_HOSTNAME with your name of your AS and gives the path to the file on the server.
You wrote
*PF_HOSTNAME = w_host
But beware: if you have more thän one AS you have to fix one AS for upload or you have to find the servers name of the file. A better way can be to share one folder by each AS.
You also have to decide between HTTP or FTP.
You wrote:
PF_FTP_DEST = 'SAPFTPA'
PF_HTTP_DEST = 'SAPHTTPA'
You must define only one ! Then you have to check your settings in SM59 about working right.
Pls rate, if this was helpful.

I want to import my bookmarks from my old hard drive to my new computer. Old hard drive is in new computer as secondary drive, can't run firefox from it. Would like to find the file where my bookmarks are stored

have looked in the old hard drive for the file where my favorites would be stored. the only file that I can find is not the latest. I did not back up my favorites on the old computer.

Bookmarks are no longer stored in an html file. Instead, they are stored in a file called '''places.sqlite''' in your '''Profile''' folder.
# Locate the '''places.sqlite''' file in your old hard drive.
# Copy it into the '''Profile''' folder of your new hard drive.
# Note that since you would be overwriting the places.sqlite in your new drive, your current bookmarks/history etc would be overwritten by the ones in the old drive.

These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing.
Below are instructions to enter some UNIX shell commands. The commands are harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects.
Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then either copy or drag it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands.
Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
Step 1
Triple-click the line of text below to select it:
kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}'
Copy (command-C) the selected text to the Clipboard. Then click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). Post the lines of output (if any) that appear below what you just entered. You can do that by copy-and-paste as well. Omit the final line ending in “$”. No typing is involved in this step.
Step 2
Repeat with this line:
sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix)|edu\.mit|org\.(amavis|apache|cups|isc|ntp|postfix|x)/{print $3}'
This time, you'll be prompted for your login password, which you do have to type. It won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. You don't need to post the warning.
Note: If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before taking this step. If that’s not possible, skip to the next step.
Step 3
launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|edu\.mit|org\.(x|openbsd)/{print $3}'
Step 4
ls -1A /e*/mach* {,/}L*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo,Sta}* L*/Fonts 2> /dev/null
Important: If you formerly synchronized with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, anonymize it before posting.
Step 5
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of every login item' 2> /dev/null
Remember, steps 1-5 are all copy-and-paste — no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output.
You can then quit Terminal.
