FTP: Want to check if the file is completely being written in the server or

Hi,
I am very much new to this FTP, I am using the apache API (commons-net.jar) in my ftp client.
I have a problem here, I want to find out whether the remote file (in the server) is completely written or not. Is there anyway in which the mode (writing, written, etc ) of the file can be determined?
Thanks in advance for any comments

There is no good, direct way to do so. The two strategies I have seen to accomplish what you are looking for are:
1. Create a 'done' file (naming convention can be whatever you like). Write the main file first, then write the done file. Your polling program should look for the existence of the done file. That will indicate the main file has finished transmission.
2. Create a header file (naming convention can be whatever you like). Include a count (line count, record count, byte count, or whatever) in the header file. When reading the detail file, verify that the count is correct.

Syncing downloaded movies from itunes to ipad which then suddenly stops and will not finish the sync stating itunes could not copy "name of movie" to the ipad because the file could not be written. restored the ipad to factory settings, reinstalled itune

I have had to format my PC running windows 7, and reset my ipad 1 to factory settings, i then installed latest itunes on the PC authorised the PC and re downloaded several movies via itunes previous purchases, all was well until i tried to sync the ipad to the PC, only some of the movies synced onto the ipad, otheres stalled the sync stating itunes could not copy "name of movie" to the ipad because the file could not be written. I have to pull the plug on the ipad just to get itunes to unfreeze, but it still will not sync these movies. and one help

Hi
I was having the same issue with music and movies but it had been ok before. The sync would freeze on a random file and then i had to take out the USB cable to clear it. After trying all sorts of things i saw someone mentioning about Anti virus and firewalls. I am using McAfee so i disabled it as a test. After this i could sync music and movies without issue!!!!! So in my case the firewall/anti virus was causing a problem. McAfee updates itself a lot so I am guessing something has happened in a recent update that impacted iTunes.I am not sure if this kind of thing is also causing your problem but it sounds very familiar.
Hope this helps.

File adapter reading while the file is still being written....

Hello BPEL Gurus,
I had a quick question around BPEL or ESB file adapter. Does BPEL file adapter starts reading a huge file that is being written or it waits until the writing process is completed and file is complete?
Any response is highly is appreciated.
Thanks.
SM

It goes like this. At every polling frequency, the adapter looks into the directory for the files with specified pattern (e.g. *.csv, MYCOMPANY*.txt) and specified condition, e.g. minimum file age. This means if there will be 2 files available with matching criteria, the both will be picked up and processed simultaneously in two different BPEL instances. No specific order of execution. However you will find the instances in BPEL console with little delay based on file size.
Perhaps you can elaborate your scenario further. Do we have knowledge of the file name that are to be picked up from the folder. You may use synchronous read option. If you are using 10.1.3.4 version then you can specify the file name before file adapter makes a synchronous read into the give directory.

Regarding File being written to Appl server

Hi Pals,
Can we restrict the size of the file that is being written to the application server through Open dataset or any other command.
We have a report which selects data based on a given time period.
The problem we are facing is that even for a period of 1 month the data file written to the appl server is around <b>14-15 GB</b>. Hence we have been asked to split the file that is being written.
However the other option of reducing the time period of seelction has been ruled out by our clients.
Please suggest.
Thanks in advance.
Rgrds,

Hi ,
try like this
      i_maximum_lines = 99999999.
      block_size = 100000.
do.
      refresh <l_table>.
      v_filect = v_filect + 1.
      write v_filect to v_filecount left-justified.
      fetch next cursor i_cursor
                 appending corresponding fields of table
*                 <l_table> PACKAGE SIZE i_maximum_lines.
                  <l_table> package size block_size.
      if sy-subrc ne 0.
      e_table = i_table-tabname.
      e_dbcnt = sy-dbcnt.
      clear cursor_flag.
      close cursor i_cursor.
      exit.
      endif.
      delta_dbcnt = sy-dbcnt + old_dbcnt.
      old_dbcnt   = sy-dbcnt.

How to check if a file is complete?

Hi all,
My problem is simple. I want to make sure that the file I am about to FTP from remote server to a local server (thru java) is complete. The file (lets call it TESTFILE.001) is sent by the client ( not at fixed time) few times a day. My process runs every hour and grabs this file if it exists. If no file is found then process just terminates. But I dont want to grab it if its still being populated. How do I do this?
I cannot setup a file object for this file as I only have FTP login for the remote server.
Thanks in advance.
-Chirag

Hi all,
Since I was trying to access the file on remote server, there is no way in java to set up a direct File object. (It works on windows machine to windows but not with Unix)
The way I finally did it was by using ftp. As a rule, when a file is being written to, it is locked and reports size 0.
So I check if file size is zero. If it is then I know that either there is no file or the file is currently being written to (hence not complete)

QT files are not being played at the right height on laptop - why?

Hello eveyone,
The QT files imported in my MacBook pro are HQ but are being played 1280 x 405 (for the length of the screen, but not at the right height). I can't even play view them with the Actual file feature. The Movie Inspector tells me the clipes were shot normal (1920x1080) yet I can't se them properly.
I tried on a different MacBook pro and I have the same problem.
Does anybody know why? What should I do?
Thanks!

Actually, there is no problem with the original files.
Since I do not know how you came to this conclusion or if it is correct, my first thought is, "Show me the proof." I.e., post a captured image of the "Inspector" window for the player you are currently using. This will tell me which QT player you are using, whether the display is controlled by scaled dimension or aspect ratio settings, whether the file was encoded anamorphically or non-anamorphically, and whether the encoded aspect ratio matches the current display aspect ratio. It won't tell me the true aspect ratio of the video but a look at people and objects in a single video frame will normally disclose whether or not the display aspect is reasonably close or not.
If I import them in say Final Cut Pro, I can see them properly...so it's only the Quick Time on our laptops that display the clips wrong.
This isn't really helpful since FCP has settings that allow the user to both change and scale display dimensions and aspect ratios. QT 7 Pro will allow you re-scale the aspect ratio of a display but not alter its encoded aspect ratio while QT X will allow you to resize the display scale but only in reference to its encoded aspect ratio. Neither will allow you to display a file at dimensions greater than your current video card settings (i.e., where actual dimensions are greater than screen display resolutions for the encoded aspect ratio). In a similar manner, "fit" and "fill" option availability will also depend on the device/player and available screen resolutions/aspect ratiios which you have yet to indicate for either platform previously mentioned.
The full length of the screen, but not the full height... Do you have any advide on how to get the settings done? I looked into the QT settings and coulnd't find the right button/panel...
As previously stated, the first step is to determine if the files are being displayed correctly—i.e., at their correct aspect ratio for the allowable display space available for the current screen resolution available on the platforms being used for viewing. For instance, are you viewing in the full screen mode, or with menu bar being displayed and/or with the dock in or out of active display. These settings plus the video card screen resolulution will determine the maximum number of viewing pixels available fort the display height. Once the scale height is set by the QT player, then QT app will scale the display width to what it believes is correct display setting. If the aspect of the display is correct for the scaled height and width, then the file is being displayed correctly at the maximum display height available and there is nothing wrong and nothing to be corrected either in the file or the media player other than your desire to play a file at dimenensions larger than available for your display. (I.e., this is equivlent to saying you want to display a 52 inch diagonal picture on 32 inch HDTV—"it ain't gonna happen."
On the other hand, if the aspect ratio is incorrect for the maximum display height available for the app, system, and platform being used for viewing, then all of the other things I mentioned come into effect with regard to correcting the embedded display settings within the file.
Example: If i take an anamorphically encoded 1440x1080 (1920x1080) file and display it on my monitor set to a resolution of 2560x1440, then I can display the file at its "actual" display size (1920x1080) or even scale it to 2560x1440 (Full Screen Display mode) but if I reset my monitor to a 4:3 aspect resolution of 1600x1200, then I cannot play the file at its actual 1920x1080 display resolution since its width is limited to 1600 pixels and when the 16:9 aspect ratio is applied to the 1600 pixel display width, the display height is limited to 900 pixels in a "Fit to screen mode."
If your source file was recorded at 1920x1080, then the file's aspect ratio is 16:9 (1.78:1). However, your 1280x405 screen size implies that either the file is now being displayed in the "Fit" mode with a changed aspect ratio of 3.16:1 (1280x405) or that you are viewing the file in the "Fill" mode which chops off the top and bottom of your 1280x720 (1.78:1) display. (I.e., the "Fit" mode will scale the display at its current aspect to fit within the available display area and yet allow you see the entire display area as a "scaled view at the correct aspect while the "Fill" mode scales the video to fill your entire screen even if this means losing the top/bottom or left/right portions of the display area when the monitor resolution aspect ratio and video display ratio are not the same.)
Therefore, if your file is correctly formatted as you claim, use the "Command-F" QT shortcut to view the file at its largest available dimensions at the correct aspect ratio on any platform and using either the QT X or QT 7 player. (Don't forget to set the QT 7 "Full Screen" preference.)

How to check the file size before loading it to the context

Hello,
I have an application to upload a file and write it to the server using the FileUpload UI and IWDResource Interface.
I would like to limit the size of the file the user is uploading to, say, 2MB.
The problem is that the current API doesn't allow me to check the file size before I store it in IWDResource. The API available for IWDResource:
IWDResource resource = ...
InputStream stream = resource.read(false);
size = stream.available();
Is working on the file only AFTER storing it in the context and the server's memory. This way, if a user decides to upload 1GB file for example, he can easily crash the server.
I am already familiar with <a href="https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/00062266-3aa9-2910-d485-f1088c3a4d71">this</a> arcticle but it doesn't answer this question as well, all it does is calculating the file size only after storing it in the context.
Any ideas...?

I want to check all functions of PCI 6534.I have read the user manual..I have some memory related questions.Please help me for that.

I want to check all functions of PCI 6534.I have read the user manual..I have some memory related questions.Please help me for that.
1.)If i am using the continuous output mode.and the size of generated data is less than 32 MB.If i want to preload the memory,what should i do?I want that first of all i load all my data to onboard memory & then i want to make start the transfer between 6534 & peripheral.Is it possible?As per me it should be.Plz tell me how should i do this?I think that in normal procedure the transfer between 6534-peripheral & outputting data from pc buffer to onboard memory works parallely.But i don't want this.Is it poss
ible?
(2).Similarly in finite input operation(pattern I/O) is it possible to preload the memory and then i read it?Because i think that the PC memory will be loaded automatically when 6534 acquires the data and then when we use DIO read vi the pc buffer data will be transferred to application buffer.If this is true,i do not want this.Is it possible?
(3) One more question is there if i am using normal operation onboard memory will be used bydefault right?Now if i want to use DMA and if i have data of 512 bytes to acquire.How will it work and how should i do it?Please tell me the sequence of operations.As per my knowledge in normal DMA operation we have 32 Bytes FIFO is there so after acquisition of 32 bytes only i can read it.How it will known to me that 32 bytes acquisition is complete?Next,If i want to acquire each byte separately using DMA interrupts what should i do?Provide me the name of sourse from which i can get details about onboard memory & DMA process of 6534 specifically
(4).In 6534 pattern Input mode,if i want to but only 10 bits of data.and i don't want to waste any data line what should i do?

Hi Vishal,
I'll try to answer your questions as best I can.
1) It is definitely possible to preload data to the 32MB memory (per group) and start the acquisition after you have preloaded the memory. There are example programs on ni.com/support under Example Code for pattern generation and the 6534 that demonstrate which functions to use for this. Also, if your PC memory buffer is less than 32MB, it will automatically be loaded to the card. If you are in continuous mode however, you can choose to loop using the on-board memory or you can constantly be reading the PC memory buffer as you update it with your application environment.
2) Yes, your data will automatically be loaded into the card's onboard memory. It will however be transferred as quickly as possible to the DMA FIFO on the card and then transferred to the PC memory buffer through DMA. It is not going to wait until the whole onboard memory is filled before it transfers. It will transfer throughout the acquisition process.
3) Vishal, searching the example programs will give you many of the details of programming this type of application. I don't know you application software so I can't give you the exact functions but it is easiest to look at the examples on the net (or the shipping examples with your software). Now if you are acquiring 512 bytes of data, you will start to fill your onboard memory and at the same time, data will be sent to the DMA FIFO. When the FIFO is ready to send data to the PC memory buffer, it will (the exact algorithm is dependent on many things regarding how large the DMA packet is etc.).
4) If I understand you correctly, you want to know if you waste the other 6 bits if you only need to acquire on 10 lines. The answer to this is Yes. Although you are only acquiring 10 bits, it is acquired as a complete word (16bits) and packed and sent using DMA. You application software (NI-DAQ driver) will filter out the last 6 bits of non-data.
Hope that answers your questions. Once again, the example code on the NI site is a great place to start this type of project. Have a good day.

AI CS3 Plugin: How to get the file format that is selected in the "save as" dialog??

Hi,
Someone please help me in getting the file format that is selected in the "save as" dialog. I wanted to retrieve it in the string format.
I tried sAIDocument->GetDocumentFileFormat. But i'm unable to implement it correctly. Is there a better way or How do I implement this? Precisely, I wanna get the value as a string when the user selects "save as .pdf".

Do you really need to know the file type? What about just checking the bit depth?
var doc = activeDocument;
if (doc.bitsPerChannel != BitsPerChannelType.EIGHT) {//Not 8 bit
doc.bitsPerChannel = BitsPerChannelType.EIGHT;
//do your save etc
}else{
//Ignore

In CC you set ON the delete mode, after processing file? Maybe, the file have read only permission....
