File upload gives invalid file name if file name exceeds 255 characters

We are using SharePoint 2010. I have arround 4-5 GB data that I have to upload to document library. That data includes documents (docx, xlsx, pdf etc) with very deep folder structure and long names that can not be changed. When I trying to upload that folder
through Windows explorer or Multiple File Upload or SharePoint workspace but it is not uploading the files with long names.
I know there is a limitation of 255 Characters but is there any workarround to upload that bunch of data!
Thanks,

Hi there,
Microsoft has published a hotfix for fixing length of the file limitation

XsltCollaboration code file path exceeds 255 characters

All,
I'm trying to build a Deployment Profile for a CAPS project containing an XSLT Collaboration Definition. I managed to build the Deployment Profile previously with persistence turned off. After turning on persistence (Persistence for Reporting set to 'Yes' on the only Business Process in the project) and re-building the Deployment Profile I was greeted with an Exception dialog containing the following:
com.stc.codegen.framework.model.CodeGenException: code generation error at = svcXCDXform - XCE CodeGen
XsltCollaboration code file path
C:\DOCUME~1\DAMIAN~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\builds\prjBPXformdpBPXform\svcXCDXform_ejb\xcdXform_Runtime_Handler.java
exceeds 255 characters. Shorten XsltCollaboration name or recreate Connectivity Map with shorter name to solve this problemI don't think turning persistence on has anything to do with this error but mentioned it because that was the only change I made before re-building. Can anyone shed some light on why CodeGen is building in my local temp folder and not the Path which I have set in the Enterprise Designer | Build Options? Is this a completely different path?
FYI - I am using Java CAPS 5.1.2.
Thanks,
Damian

Change the Windows Environment Variables for the Temp folders to something like C:\TMP
Not sure but i've noticed that the folder specified for CODEGEN_LOCATION is ignored in older versions of JCAPS.

ITunes music file with filename 255 characters will not download

Hi all,
I recently purchased an album from the iTunes store where by a single track fails to download and produces the error as follows:
   There was a problem downloading
   “Here Comes the Sun / A Symphony of British Music: Music For the Closing Ceremony of the London
   2012 Olympic Games / Urban Voices Collective, Pete Lockett, Rahda Meta, Prabhat Rao, Varun Verma,
   Toby Pitman, David Arnold, Bilwal Iyer, Eos Chater, Tania Dav".
   An unknown error occured (-50).
Things to note:
+ All other tracks downloaded perfectly
+ I have been able to download other albums/tracks before and after with no problem
+ Looking at the filename, it seems to be >255 characters so wondered if this is the problem.
+ I can download the file via the cloud to my iPad, but for some reason via my Mac it wont work.
+ It's worth pointing out that My iTunes library is located on a Synology 212+ NAS drive.
+ I have an itunes library of over 78G of tunes, movies and apps from the store that all work fine
on there apart from this one music file - again the file length stands out.
+ every time I download something new ,it keeps erroring with the same message as iTunes tries to re-download the file
so its essentially stuck. same with check for downloads etc, the file remains stuck and errors the same.
Are there any known issues with hosting your itunes library on a NAS drive?
Again, the only thing that stands out about this file is the file length and its the only track I have had a problem with.
Is there any workaround I could try i.e. some how copying the file from iPad manually over to iTunes library (truncating the name), will this remove the stuck file from my download queue?
In the meantime this file is essentially stuck in my iTunes (Mac) download queue and I am missing a track from the album.
Many thanks for any help offered!

Application Server : File writes only 255 characters

Hi Friends,
I am trying to writes data to application server file .
My line size is 1100 charqacters.
When I use open dataset for output in text mode encoding default
and transfer contents to file.
I am only able to write contents upto 255 characters.
Whatever is beyond that I do not see it in AL11.
Is there a way to write more than 255 characters.
I tried CG3Y to view files but it also shows only 255 characters.
Please help.

Hi,
Just find the string length.
In 4.6C version there is a limit of 1500 characters i. e. U can transfer max of 1500 characters in a single transfer. For that we applied below solution. Check this it may help u.
l_len = strlen( p_data ).
DO.
    IF l_len LT 1500.
      TRANSFER p_data+l_offset(l_len) TO p_file.
      MOVE 0 TO l_len.
    ELSE.
      TRANSFER p_data+l_offset(1500) TO p_file.
      SUBTRACT 1500 FROM l_len.
      ADD 1500 TO l_offset.
    ENDIF.
    CHECK l_len EQ 0.
    EXIT.
ENDDO.
p_data has the content to be trasfered of around 6000 characters and the length is dynamic.
Also download the data using CG3Y with BIN to .txt file and see.
If problem is still there then paste ur code of OPEN DATASET, TRANSFER statements.
Try to open the file in TEXT MODE.
eg: OPEN DATASET l_file IN TEXT MODE.
Thanks,
Vinod.

Using oracle thin driver with to_char gives invalid column name

select x,y,z, to_char(event_time,'YYYY-MMM-DD') from eventtable;
if i execute the above query using oracle thin driver it gives me invalid column name. It works fine if i use weblogic driver. So what could be the problem ???
thanks.

Sorry , forgot to add that 'YYYY-MM-DD' or 'YYYY-Month-DD' or 'Year-MM-DD' or 'Year-Month-DD' are also allowed(please cheek also for other combinations), not 'YYYY-MMM-DD'.
Thanks

Sysdate gives Invalid column name

Using Oracle/Tomcat, I'm invoking the following query through JSP:
SELECT id from my_table where create_date >= (sysdate-10)
where create_date is a field in my_table.
When I run it through JSP, it gives me Invalid column name error, but when I copy the outpout of the query string and run in in sqlplus, it works fine!!
What could be the problem
Najiks fine!!
What could be the problem
Naji

Q: Can you SELECT sysdate FROM dual;
If you can can you store it in a bind variable and use that in your query. Is there another JSP way of getting the date and storing it for use in your query?

Hi,
“All but one database are upgradable. However, one database gives:
Invalid object name 'Webs'.”
Did the sentence you mean only one database not upgrade to SharePoint 2013 and given the error?
One or more of the following might be the cause:
Insufficient SQL Server database permissions
SQL Server database is full
Incorrect MDAC version
SQL Server database not found
Incorrect version of SQL Server
SQL Server collation is not supported
Database is read-only
To resolve the issue, you can refer to the following article which contains the causes and resolutions.

Case Decode - invalid column name error

select Workweek, max( decode( Type, T34, prct, null ) ) Bad,
                    max( decode( Type, T35, prct, null ) ) Repair,
                    max( decode( Type, T36, prct, null ) ) Good
FROM
(select Workweek, Type, round(ratio_to_report(sum(Testtime_in_Minutes)) over(partition by Workweek)*100,3) prct
FROM
(select ts.lot as Lot, ts.wafer_id as Wafer, dt.SORT_X as X, dt.SORT_Y as Y, ts.devrevstep as PRODUCT, ts.operation as OPERATION, dt.INTERFACE_BIN as INTERFACE_BIN, (dt.TEST_TIME)/60.0 as Testtime_in_Minutes,
ts.TEST_END_DATE_TIME as Test_End_Time, ts.Program_Name, ts.test_end_work_week as Workweek,
(CASE
WHEN (dt.INTERFACE_BIN > 9 AND dt.INTERFACE_BIN < 15) THEN 'T34'
WHEN (dt.INTERFACE_BIN =30 OR dt.INTERFACE_BIN =31 OR dt.INTERFACE_BIN = 32 OR dt.INTERFACE_BIN = 33) THEN 'T35'
     ELSE 'T36'
     END ) Type

where ts.test_end_work_week >= 200715
and (ts.devrevstep like '9600%')
and dt.lao_start_ww = ts.test_end_work_week
and dt.ts_id = ts.ts_id)
GROUP BY Workweek, Type)
This sql query above does not run properly, gives invalid column name error. However, the entire select statement surrounded by the () works. There must be an error in the first 4 lines someplace, but I do not see it.

Assuming type is a string, I assume you meant
MAX( DECODE( type, 'T34', prct, NULL )) Badwhere T34 is a string literal. Otherwise, you'd need to have columns named T34, T35, and T36 in your inner select.
One note, though, it's probably a bad idea to have a column named Type. While it's legal to do so, TYPE is a keyword in SQL, so that name will at a minimum be confusing.

Document name exceeds allowed length

Hello all,
We are getting an "Document name exceeds allowed length" error when we want to approve a shopping card. There is no attachments in the SC and no reason for this error. First of all we already created the SC and approval WF started and now when we check the document this error occurs.
Do you have any idea where to start checking?
Best regards

Hi
The error should not be raised in the case where no attachment exists, it is raised normally when the attachment URL exceeds 255 characters.
However - perhaps you need to apply the note [1269204|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1269204]. This may be the issue in your system.

ORA-15124: ASM file name contain invalid alias name after creating standby

OS level: redhat 5
db version: 11gr2
I just created a standby using rman duplicate from active database and the rman duplicate ran successful.
Then I modified parameter files on standby to include the current controlfile and try to start the db as mounted, I got following error:
SQL> startup mount;

SQL> exit
I could not figure out what went wrong here.
Those are two most current controlfile created during duplicate of db.
I double checked everythng, everything else seems working.
What should I look at now?
Thanks for help as always.

Java.io.File and non-unicode characters in file name

Unix filesystem object names are byte sequences. These byte sequences are not required to correspond to any character sequence in the current or any locale. How do I open a file if it has characters that do not corrospond to a valid unicode encoding for some current locale? Unless I am missing something, if I do a list on a parent directory that has some file names like this, those file names do not get added to the list. Hmmm....
R.

OK, create.c is a program that will create a file whose name is not a character in the 'ja' locale.
Lister.java defines a class that lists files in the current directory. For each file, it spits out the 'toString()' version of the file, the char array of the name as hex, and the 'getBytes' byte array of the name.
So, what you can do is compile and run create.c, which will create a file whose name is a single byte whose hex value is 99. Then compile and run Lister.java, which will give you the following output (shown for two different locales:
$ export LANG=
$ java Lister
name:?; chars:99,; bytes:99,
$ export LANG=ja
$ java Lister
name:?; chars:fffd,; bytes:3f,
---------------------------------------------Note that when running in the JA locale, there is no character corresponding to byte value 0x99. So, Java uses the replacement character 0xFFFD, and the '?' character 0x3F, as a replacement.
The point is that there are files which Java cannot uniquely represent as a straight String. I suppose we could get the filename via JNI, do the conversion ourselves, and then use the private-use area of Unicode to encode all our strings, but ugh.
//create.c
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
   const char* name = "\x99";
   FILE* file = fopen( name, "w" );
   if( file == NULL )
      printf( "could not open file %s\n", name );
      return 1;
   fclose( file );
   return 0;
// Lister.java
import java.io.*;
public class Lister
    public static void main( String[] args )
        new Lister().run();
    public void run()
        try
            doRun();

            System.out.println( "Encountered exception: " + e );
    private void doRun() throws Exception

Packager fails with "Maximum file path name exceeded" on InCopy

Attempting to build the full suite with CCP 1.5.0 Build 83, running on Window 8.1 update 64-bit.
When building a 32-bit package it reaches InCopy it always stops and provides the so helpful "Maximum file path name exceeded error". This appears to only happen when building the 32-bit package, building the 64-bit package caused no issues, and even in building the 32-bit package after the 64-bit package when everything is already downloaded the same error occurs.
Tried it with:
Cache path: C:\Users\iholmes\AppData\Local\Adobe\CCP\
Destination path: F:\ISO\Adobe\Cloud\Working\CreativeCloud-06192014x86
Also tried:
Cache path: g:\Adobe\CCP
Destination path: f:\cc\x86
These are all local paths, not mapped network drives.

Same here. From: C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Temp\PDApp.log:
<errorType>LongPathError</errorType>
<filePath>C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Temp\{839FDA1E-684B-4164-A8A0-AC83A4D37D3F}\AICY\ LS20\10.0\InCopy_10_LS20_Win32
I can manually extract the zip file from: C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Adobe\CCP\AdobeCCPCache\AICY\LS20\InCopy_10_LS20_Win32.7z to the above path (which I think is what it's trying to do) with no error, so it seems to be something Adobe is going to have to fix.
Someone else worked around it by creating a local user with a single character as the user name: Creative Cloud Packager Keeps Failing on InDesign: "Maximum File Path Name Exceeded"

Saving a file in a with a file name containing Japanese Characters

Hi,
I hope some genius out there comes up with the solution to this problem
Here it is :
I am trying to save some files using a java program from the command console , and the file name contains japanese characters. The file names are available to me as string values from an InputStream. When I try to write to a File Object containing the japanese characters , I get something like ?????.txt . I found out that I am able to save the files using the unicode value of the java characters.
So I realize that the trick is to convert the streaming japanese characters , character by character into their respective unicode value and then Create A File Object with that name. The problem is -> I cant find any standard method to convert these characters into their unicode values. Does anyone have a better solution ? Remember , its not writing japanese characters to a file , but creating a file with japanese characters in the file name !!!!
Regards
Chandu

retrive a byte array out of the input Stream and store the values in String using the condtructor
String(byte [] bytes, String enc)
where encoding would be Shift_Jis for japanese I guess.
Now to understand this concept basically all the Strings are unicode however when you are passing a byte array String has no means to know what is the encoding of the byte array, which is being used to instantiate the String value so if no encoding is specified it takes the System value which is mostly iso-8859-1. This leads to displaying ?
However in case you know the encoding of the array specifying that in the constructor would be a real help.
