File Upload - Delete Documents

Hi all,
how can I delete single files of a Document Info Record. Only found BAPI to delete the entire DIR.
Add. INFO:
The Upload is done in the Document Management System (/cv01-2-3-4n) by a BSP application / BAPI_DOC_CREATE and CHECKIN .
Thanks in advance,
Christoph

Hi Christoph,
- read Document Info Record with BAPI BAPI_DOCUMENT_GETDETAIL2. Table documentfiles contains your files.
- check out the file you want to delete using BAPI BAPI_DOCUMENT_CHECKOUTSET2.
- use BAPI BAPI_DOCUMENT_CHANGE2 to change the Document Info Record. Table documentfiles must contain your files including the one you want to delete. Before calling the BAPI, set field 'deletevalue' to 'X' in the record, that represents the file you want to delete.
Dont' forget to COMMIT WORK.

File Upload using PRC API's

Guys,
I am trying to upload a new document using PRC API's. Below is required code snippet that i am using.
IRemoteDocument remoteDoc = documentManager.createRemoteDocument(folderID,dataSourceID,document.getPath()); remoteDoc.setOverrideName(document.getName()); remoteDoc.setOverrideDescription(document.getDescription()); remoteDoc.setType("http://www.plumtree.com/dtm/mime", document.getFileType());int docID = -1;docID = remoteDoc.save();
dataSourceID - ID of my file upload datasource , document - is my java object which has all the document related properties such as , name , description , MIME type of document etc..Below is different document path's(scenarios) that I have triedc:\work\sample.txt\\servername\work\sample.txthttp:\\appserver:7001\appName\uploadfiles\sample.txt
When I execute this code from my application i get a below error.
com.plumtree.remote.prc.PortalException: null; nested exception is: java.rmi.RemoteException: Error in function PTDataSource.ImportDocument(vDocumentLocationBagAsXML == '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ucs-2"?><PTBAG V="1.1" xml:space="preserve"><I N="PTC_DTM_SECT">1001</I><S N="PTC_DOC_ID">application/msword</S><S N="PTC_UNIQUE">\\PHUSEH-L33664.NA.novartis.net\work\sample.doc</S></PTBAG>', lDocumentTypeID == 100, pCard == com.plumtree.server.impl.directory.PTCard@c27b6f, bSummarize == false, pProvider == null): Error in function PTDataSource.ImportDocument (vDocumentLocationBagAsXML == <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ucs-2"?><PTBAG V="1.1" xml:space="preserve"><S N="PTC_DOC_ID">application/msword</S><I N="PTC_DTM_SECT">1001</I><S N="PTC_UNIQUE">\\PHUSEH-L33664.NA.novartis.net\work\sample.doc</S></PTBAG>, lDocumentTypeID == 100, pCard == com.plumtree.server.impl.directory.PTCard@c27b6f, bSummarize == false, pProvider == null): SOAP fault: faultcode='soapenv:Server.userException' faultstring='java.lang.NullPointerException' at com.plumtree.remote.prc.DocumentWrapper.save()
Below is my environment.Plumtree is running on Weblogic 8.1 (Solaris OS) , ptupload webservice is running on weblogic8.1 solaris,My upload document portlet is running on weblogic 8.1 (Windows OS)
If anyone has any working sample code please send it to my ID [email protected] or else please upload it here.Thank You ,
Dan.

make sure your modjk logs don't have any errors.
Here's a peice out of my httpd.conf
#ADDed Oct 15,2003, seemed to remove modjk error
AddType multipart/form-data .gif .png .jpg .peg .jpeg .jpeI used to get strange modjk logged errors.
Also did you compile jk2 from source???
com.oreilly.servlet --- cos
http://www.servlets.com/cos/index.html
http://www.servlets.com/cos/cos-05Nov2002.zip
But if my bit shift is correct wouldn't my regular textfile upload be distored?From what I remember, the problem is something to do with logical AND or OR, with the bits. Apache receives it fine, passess it through jk, and and either the most sig or least gets lost. Image data is critical as every bit counts, text file, you may not notice it(white space), or every nTH file upload might fail.
here are the version numbers of software I use, and have compiled all from source.
apache-httpd-2.0.47
tomcat-4.1.27
jk2-connectors-2.0.2

CASE - 1
when i am providing the storage category mention below and no data carrier1
ls_documentfiles-storagecategory = 'ZHMEL_CS'. it is not able to upload the document in the DMS system and when i check
in the debugg mode it giving error as ""Error while checking in and storing: C:\TEST.TXT "" .

I cannot delete a file from the document folder. I can move it to the trash and then empty the trash, but when I go back to the documents folder it is still there.

I wonder what your computing environment is. Is your account being administrated by another account? Are you working in an account subject to "Parental Controls"?

2GB of video file upload to SharePoint 2013 document library

Hi All,
We have a requirement of uploading a 2GB of video file to a SharePoint 2013 document library. Will there be any issue due to increasing the maximum file size?
Many Thanks,
sudesh withanage

It will be better if you save all your videos at one location,i.e Asset Library.Check the link for Asset libraries
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee414275(v=office.15).aspx
In case you want to add other files (i,e excel ,word) along with videos you will need to increase library size,
Check the following link to increase the file size ,as well as the issues and workaround to solve the problems

How do I remove or delete files within a document folder? I have tried dragging the files to the trash and it does not work

How do I remove or delete files and image files within a document foler? I have tried dragging the files to the trash, but that is not working.

Right-click (or ctrl-click) on a file. If the "move to Trash" option is greyed out, select "get info" and read the permissions at the bottom of the info window.
Wat are they?
Do the same for the enclosing folder - what permissions does that have?

How to create a portlet to upload/delete files into portal pages

I wanted to know if it is possible to create a simple UI wherein a user could choose a file from his HDD and upload it to the page as an item.I know this can be done by editing the page,but when the user clicks on edit he would have to use the default portal interface to do the same, i want to avoid precisely that.
If possible then how do I go about making it.This UI would also require that the user be able to select from a list of previously uploaded files and delete some of them.This i require so that any authenticated portal user could access/downloaded the uploaded files given the url to the same.

You can use the WebDAV feature in Portal Release 2 to provide a simple interface for uploading and managing files. In addition, the content management APIs can be used to build custom interfaces. These APIs are available for Portal 3.0.9 and will soon be available for Release 2. There is no Delete API, but one is planned for an upcoming release.

Create new project files with uploaded word document

How do I create a new project file with an uploaded word document. I tried to follow the guidelines using the Robohelp PDF file but after I upload the word document, I cannot see it in the workspace. Are there other steps to bring the document into Robohelp 9. I am using the trial version and have never used Robohelp before.
Thank you!

I was finally able to fix my problem and I hope to publish this in as many pages as I can. First I had the exact same issue. My file was password protected (the one I used as a shell for a new project) spent two hours of work, went home and next
day “Nothing” same errors. Cannot open file etc. etc. So after two hours searching the net I found this company that has a
Project Repair Toolbox that is cloud based for FREE (no useless downloads).
I went in > It asked me for the file that I had on my local drive > prompted me for the password and > BAM! the file opened right up. Since it as viewer only I was able to at least begin re-typing the project plan which was small in nature.
Check it out, hope it works for you.

Re: camera connection kit- I uploaded pictures using the sandisk connection, clicked on 10 pics to delete and ALL of my files were deleted from the sandisk! Is there any way to recover these pics?

Re: camera connection kit- I uploaded pictures using the sandisk connection, clicked on 10 pics to delete and ALL of my files were deleted from the sandisk! Is there any way to recover these pics?

Kevin-
You say you uploaded the pictures to the iPad? Then they should still be there, and you can copy them to your computer through iTunes.
There are utility programs for a computer that can recover deleted files from hard drives, and they may work for camera memory cards as well. I've used DiskWarrior for Macintosh to recover pictures from an SD card before.

Is there a way to create a file upload page for uploading large documents to a ftp site in Muse?

I am building a site for a printing company and wanted to know if there was a way to build in a ftp file upload page or button?

No that is not possible with Muse alone. YOu can host it on Business Catalyst and upgrade the hosting plan to at least the webMarketing plan for general uploading. If it requires each user to have their own profile etc, then you will need to use BC webApps

Restricting the type to application/octet-stream may generate errors. Also, it is unnecessary, because we perform a type check anyway.

File Upload Submit Woes

We have a file upload page. We have added a custom table to store the files, based on the How Tos docs on OTN. The issue that we are having is that if there is anything in the file upload control and a user switches to another page in the app via a tab, the file upload page is automatically submitted (the custom PL/SQL does not fire because it is tied to the submit button) and the file is stored in the WWV_FLOW_FILE_OBJECTS$ table not the custom table. What is auto submitting this page when the tab is used to transition to another page? When you hover over the tab you see the doSubmit() function call. Is there a way around this?

well, that's not exactly what i meant, but it's no matter because i steered you wrong (sorry about that; was doin' like 8 things at once)...
what i meant was for you to conditionally fire your process based on the values of :REQUEST that could be set when your page was submitted. so rather than using your current tab's name in your condition, i was suggesting you use the tab names from the other tabs on which your users are clicking to "accidentally" submit their documents. where i steered you wrong is that processing doesn't occur on pages when the user tabs out of them like that. so your after_submit pl/sql won't run regardless of your conditions if your users are tabbing out of that page. the easiest way i can (now) think of to handle this case would be to do that processing elsewhere. so when your user tabs off your page, your "File Browse..." item will be populated with a new value. you could have before header processes on your pages to which your users are tabbing to properly move the uploaded files to your table in cases where that item was just updated. so to put this in the context of the how-to doc...
say your users are tabbing off your file upload page to either page 4 or 5 of your app. i'm suggesting you add processes to those pages that run the...
<from howto>
insert into file_subjects(id,NAME, SUBJECT, BLOB_CONTENT, MIME_TYPE)
select id,:P2_FILE_NAME,:P2_SUBJECT,blob_content,mime_type
from wwv_flow_files where name = :P2_FILE_NAME;
delete wwv_flow_file_objects$ where name = :P2_FILE_NAME;
</from howto>
...code if the value of P2_FILE_NAME was just updated (you can, of course, check to see if it was updated by storing the "old" value elsewhere and comparing to the current). this is the processing that you're unable to currently fire, and i'm just suggesting you do it on the next page(s) rather than the current one.
hope this helps,
raj
