Folder creation in a given path

Hi all,
i would like to create folder dynamically in the given path(This is a selection screen field) and this should be irrespective of operating system.If any methods or function modules which serve this purpose
please let me know.
Thanks,
Ram.

Hello,
I think the FM given by Rahul is available on SolMan servers and not plain ECC servers.
You can try using the code below.
DATA: COMMAND(200).
DATA: BEGIN OF TABL OCCURS 0,
LINE(255),
END OF TABL.
command = 'mkdir C:\temp\team1'.
CALL 'SYSTEM' ID 'COMMAND' FIELD COMMAND ID 'TAB' FIELD TABL-*SYS*.
It is specific to a Windows App server. But you can put the appropriate unix command for Unix servers
The OS type can be checked with sy-opsys

Robocopy not copying the folder creation date

We migrate the data between 2 Windowsfile servers using robocopy and it works finew ith issues. Only issue is it doesnt copy the folder creatiopn date from source to destination server, it does copy the file creation date without any issues. Command
we use is as below.
robocopy.exe %1 %2 /COPYALL /MIR /ZB /R:10 /W:2 /TEE /DCOPY /LOG+:robocopy_%3.log
This command is called using a batch file where we specify the source and destination using the below syntax.
call Robocopy_Module.bat "C:\Backup" "C:\Restore"
Kindly advise if this is normal behaviour , if not what is the correct command used to copy the Folder creation dates.

I was using like this
Go to CMD prompt,
RUN as Administrator
Type
robocopy "source path" "destination Path" / MIR
It will copy including time stamps.
or create seprate folder in a destination place and copy everything into that folder.
It will work.

Home Folder Creation w/Active Directory

If this has been asked a million times, just point me to the url for the answer...
I have done the leg work and have the "magic triangle" working - I can login and auth to AD and get my preferences from OD. I want our user's home folders to reside on our Windows server. I have shared out \\server\students on the Windows server and in AD I am pointing their home folder to our Windows server, but I can't get the permissions right. When I point a new user's home folder in AD to our Windows server, it creates the folder \\server\students\jtest.
When the user logs in, none of the subfolders are created. Can someone give me some pointers on how permissions need to be set so the subfolders are created on first login?
This is all pretty new and I'm happy that I got the triangle to work - if I can get this all important piece, I'll be set.
Thx in advance!

Hi
A lot of this depends on how many OUs you have; how deep they go; and how many directories you have nested in each OU or the particular OU the directory for home folder creation is within. The accepted 'recommendation' is not more than 3 deep - generally. Having said that I have made it work with OUs 7-10 deep. Gets trickier after that.
In my experience the non-creation of expected directories is generally down to permissions not being assigned properly - as you've guessed. Essentially users must be given read/write access all the way down the nested directories. I have seen permissions assigned correctly to a parent folder, with a set of different permissions applied to the next folder down and the next one along again with the correct permissions applied. Folder creation fails when permissions are set in this way.
What is interesting is the log-in does not fail though you are greeted with the usual "the home folder exists on an SMB or AFP Server etc" dialog box when getting to the desktop. You sometimes get this at the log-in window as well. Although you can also see the message for other reasons - usually down to poor DNS configuration.
You should be able to log in as the local admin and look at the system.log in Console. You should see an error starting with 'NSurl etc etc. . . ' listed. If you do that's an indication it's a permissions problem.
Beyond this and without being there it's difficult to tell?
Hope this helps, Tony

Need New for Read Access except Folder Creation

Hi,
I have some problem which is as follows:
I have created the folder ABC in KM Content -> documents -> ABC and given the Read Rights to the user user1, then created the KM Navigation iView.
Now user1 can see the ABC folder and the documents under it. The problem is that now I want to have New in the context menu and in New except folder creation, all are needed.
How I can achieve it, please help me on this.
Regards,
Deep

Hi,
From previlages perspective If user1 should create folders under ABC, then he need more than just READ rights!!
If you need a context menu New Folder, then you should set new_folder
UICommand to your KM Navigation iView's Layoutset's Collection Renderer. The Collection Renderer property is Collection Command Group 
So have a new UI Command group and add the new_folder UICommand to it.

My problem:
1)
I am not able to write to the file. I want to know, where i am going wrong.
It is giving error message like
"Canot resolve Symbol: temp,"
But, FileWriter Constructor should accept a File type parameter.
here temp is a file parameter.
If i am not using file=new file();
i can't delete the file after the use. i.e if i use
PrintWriter p = new PrintWriter(new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter("cute.txt",true)));
how can i delete cute.txt after the use?
2)
I am not able to write to the text file. file is created but, a blank file.
"Hello" is not written into the text file.
can anyone help me in this regard
Thanks in advance
Ashvini

Thank you Ram,
But, i want to create a text file in Append mode.
for that i used
FileWriter fos = new FileWriter(temp,true); But, it is not accepting FileWriter constructor in
this format. if i use
FileWriter fos = new
FileWriter("c:/ash/cute.txt",true); it works fine. !!!!!Here's the javadoc
public FileWriter(File file,
boolean append)
throws IOExceptionConstructs a FileWriter object given a File object. If the second argument is true, then bytes will be written to the end of the file rather than the beginning.
Parameters:
file - a File object to write to
append - if true, then bytes will be written to the end of the file rather than the beginning
Throws:
IOException - if the file exists but is a directory rather than a regular file, does not exist but cannot be created, or cannot be opened for any other reason
Since:
1.4
Are you using jdk.13 or lower ?
>
ONe more doubt, Does flush method deletes a file?
if not, then i need to use
File temp=new File("c:/ash/cute.txt");
FileWriter fos = new FileWriter(temp,true); //which
is again a problem
if(temp.delete())
out.println("File is deleted");
}I don't know whether i am taking it wrong ! or
anything wrong with my coding ! but, after creating
and writing data into a text file. I must delete it
as it contains confidential informations.
Regards,
Thanks.'flush' writes to a file immediately. Else you should explicitly call 'flush' to write contents from buffer to underlying source.
javadoc again
PrintWriter
public PrintWriter(Writer out,
boolean autoFlush)Create a new PrintWriter.
Parameters:
out - A character-output stream
autoFlush - A boolean; if true, the println, printf, or format methods will flush the output buffer

Question; What do you gain by opening a file, writing to it and deleting it in the same program ?

Generating hashes for multiple shares in one folder using BranchCache Publish-BCFileContent -Path

When using Publish-BCFileContent to generate hashes for multiple shared directories that are all within the same parent directory, can I just specify the parent directory as the "-Path" parameter or do I need to run the cmdlet for each share
separately?
For example:
My file server has 3 separate shared folders:
E:\Shares\Documents
E:\Shares\Music
E:\Shares\Pictures
(E:\Shares is not directly shared)
To generate hashes for all 3 shared directories to export to a remote hosted cache computer could I run the Publish-BCFileContent cmdlet just once with just E:\Shares as the -Path parameter?
Publish-BCFileContent -Path E:\Shares -StageData
Or do I need to run the cmdlt 3 separate times as below?
Publish-BCFileContent -Path E:\Shares\Documents -StageData
Publish-BCFileContent -Path E:\Shares\Music -StageData
Publish-BCFileContent -Path E:\Shares\Pictures -StageData

Hi CharlesPool,
If there are only these three subfolders under the directory E:\Shares, you can try the cmdlet:
Publish-BCFileContent -Path E:\Shares -StageData -Recurse
Use the recurse parameter to specify that hashes are created for content in subfolders. If you do not use this parameter, then hashes are created only for content in the top folder and no hashes are created for content in subfolders.
If there are other folders under D:\Shares, you need to run the cmdlet separately, and you can also use the cmdlet foreach to loop every folders (E:\Shares\Documents, E:\Shares\Music, E:\Shares\Pictures):
$folders = "E:\Shares\Documents","E:\Shares\Music","E:\Shares\Pictures"
Foreach($folder in $folders){
Publish-BCFileContent –Path $folder –StageData}
If there is anything else regarding this issue, please feel free to post back.

Lotus Notes Folder Not Found in Server Path..

Hi..
I am new to portal development..:)..
Want to ask about Lotus Notes in PDK..
I've downloaded the latest PDK thinking in the Portal Server, they not yet install and configure the PDK.
But, when i checked in the server, actually there is already PDK installed..
But, the problem is..
Now, i want to do Lotus Notes Portlet..
There is no Lotus Notes folder in the server..
so, i am not sure how to follow the step in the userguide..
"$IAS_HOME(MID_TIER)/j2ee/OC4J_PORTAL/applications/lotusnotes/lotusnotes/WEB-INF/lib directory. "
How do i created a new Folder "lotus Notes" like the path above?
Could anybody help me here?...plzz...

The PDK you are seeing in your server installation must be an old version that comes along with the Oracle9iAS installation. The Lotus Notes Portlets come with the latest PDK download. need to upgrade the existing PDK installation to thios latest one to get the lotusnotes installed. Please follow the instructions in the upgrading.9020x.to.90240.html doc available in the PDK download extract at PDK_extract_dir\pdk\pdk\jpdk\v2 directory. Please feel free to get back if you havce any further issues.

Automating Folder Creation

Here's what I want to do. I'm trying to automate client folder creation. I have a directory called clients. Every time I create a new folder in the clients folder, I'd like for it to automatically ask me what I'd like to name the folder, then I would like it to create 6 directories inside the created folder titled "legal" "spec files" "correspondence" "modules""graphic design" and "archived materials".
How would I go about that with automator?

A couple of options. The first uses automator and a shell script, but you would run the workflow which asks for a folder name instead of you creating it first, as you requested. The second uses Folder Actions so that when you create a new folder in your clients folder it will ask for a name and create the folders.
Automator Method:
1) From Files and Folders, drag over a "New Folder" action.
2) Enter a default name for the folder in the Name: field (or leave blank)
3) Select your Clients folder in the Where: field
4) Click the "Options" button and tell it to "show this action when the workflow runs"
5) From the Utilities, drag over a "Do shell script" action
6) Select the /bin/bash shell
7) in the Pass input field select "As arguments"
8) Enter this code mkdir -p $1/legal/ $1/spec files/ $1/correspondence/ $1/modules/ $1/graphic design/ $1/archived materials/
Save this workflow and run it when you want to create the new folder. If you have quick keys, launch bar, Quicksilver, or the like, you could set up a shortcut...or, you can use cmd-space to call up spotlight and search for you workflow name and launch it from spotlight.
For the Applescript option:
I had some glitches with it in that it seemed to re-run the script after I changed the name. I couldn't figure out if the name change drove the script to run again. Also, after creating the new folder, you have to wait a few seconds for it to trigger. Kind of annoying, I thought.
First, copy this script to a new Script Editor script (Applescript folder).
property dialog_timeout : 30 -- set the amount of time before dialogs auto-answer.
on adding folder items to this_folder after receiving added_items
try
tell application "Finder"
set theFolder to item 1 of added_items
set response to display dialog "Please enter a folder name:" default answer "New Client"
if button returned of response is not "Cancel" then
set the name of folder theFolder to (text returned of response)
make new folder at folder theFolder with properties {name:"legal"}
make new folder at folder theFolder with properties {name:"spec files"}
make new folder at folder theFolder with properties {name:"correspondence"}
make new folder at folder theFolder with properties {name:"modules"}
make new folder at folder theFolder with properties {name:"graphic design"}
make new folder at folder theFolder with properties {name:"archived materials"}
end if
end tell
on error theErr
display dialog theErr
end try
end adding folder items to
Save it as a script in your user/Library/Scripts/Folder Action Scripts/ folder. Run the Folder Actions Setup script in the Applescript folder and attach this script to your "Clients" folder:
1) Click on the Enable Actions checkbox
2) Click the "+" button in the left pane and find your clients folder
3) Click the "+" button in the right pane and find your script you just saved.

Custom property not displaying at folder creation or Details screen

Hello everyone
I have created a custom boolean property that I need to have displayed both at folder creation and in the Details screen of a folder after it's created. The property is in the default namespace, and is in the Custom group. I have created a properties file for the label and created the necessary meta data extension. The folder validity pattern is " / " and the Resource Type listed is "normalct" so that it's active for folders only.
Then I went to Property Groups and listed my new property in the Group Items field of the Custom group. The Custom group is a part of "all_groups" so that group is displayed both when a new folder is created in KM and when the Details screen of a folder is displayed.
However, my custom property isn't displaying under the Custom tab when I go to create a new KM folder, nor when I view the Details screen of an existing folder. What configuration am I missing? Do I have to develop a custom property renderer for each new property I need to create? I was hoping I could achieve this result with configuration changes only, but I must be missing something.
Any help would be greatly appreciated and rewarded.
Thanks in advance,
Fallon

Hi Fallon,
actualy, if you want this property to be displayed only for folders and not for documents, you don't need to specify the resource type for folders. Setting "/" or "/**" for "Folder Validity Patterns" and "" (empty) for "Document Validity Patterns" should be enough.
If you sill experience problems, you have to check all settings, for example with the settings suggested in this <a href="https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/2654">weblog</a>. If you use the "default" Property Group in the property settings, you don't have to enter the Property ID in a special Property Structure Group that in turn is integrated in the all_groups Property Structure Group.
Hope this helps,
Robert
