Get original file creation and modified date during upload - ONLY in explorerview ??

Hi,
SharePoint and me are having a difficult time again ;-)
I have the customer requirement to retain the original file's creation date and modified date.
Please do not start replying by just pasting links that you might find while searching for the keywords "retain creation date".
In a nutshell I found out that the original dates are only available in SharePoint if the
explorerview has been used. I always thought that the explorerview is a bad thing, but only here - the original creation date is stored in a property called "vti_ct". In the itemupdated eventreceiver you can get the
value and work with it.

Here I found the hint with the explorerview
http://answers.flyppdevportal.com/categories/sharepoint2010/sharepoint2010programming.aspx?ID=57bfd5f5-941f-4a89-919d-cdf7b0b801be
It is only available in the 2nd loop of the itemupdated event.
How the f*** can this happen??? The 2nd post states that when using the explorerview the file is being copied, while it is being re-created by using the SharePoint UI.
Has anyone a different approach for using the SharePoint UI?
I thought about different approaches for this issue. From my perspective it seems to be not solvable from the server-side. It seems only to be able to be set using a client application.
Example 1: spbulkdocumentimport

Example 2: implement a custom webservice

How do you deal with this customer requirement?

Hi,
Newbie to SharePoint, learn quite a lot from the links you provided.
“I found out that the original dates are only available in SharePoint if the explorerview has been used”, this would make sense because the original creation time is generated
by the file system in the local machine.
However, when a file is uploaded to SharePoint library, it will be stored as binary data in the database, as well as the newly created time. It means that it will be a “new” file
in the SharePoint site regardless of where it comes from.
Per my knowledge, the only way I can suggest is that you will need to create a client desktop application for the file uploading, which will be a more general way not only for
uploading a file, but also when we need to migrate files between different systems.
Thanks

Get the file creation date

hi friends..
i searched many forums to get file creation date
i didnt get the solution but i found one program which execute
dos command and gets the output of that.
so using that program i developed a program to get the file creation Date & Time also
//getCreationDate.java
import java.io.*;
import java.lang.*;
public class getCreationDate {
public static void main (String args[]){
try {
     // get runtime environment and execute child process
     Runtime systemShell = Runtime.getRuntime();
      BufferedReader br1=new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
      System.out.println("Enter filename: ");
      String fname=(String)br1.readLine();
     Process output = systemShell.exec("cmd /c dir "+fname);
       // open reader to get output from process
     BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader (new InputStreamReader(output.getInputStream()));
     String out="";
      String line = null;
      int step=1;
      while((line = br.readLine()) != null )
            if(step==6)
           out=line;
            step++;
            }          // display process output
      try{
      out=out.replaceAll(" ","");
      System.out.println("CreationDate: "+out.substring(0,10));
      System.out.println("CreationTime: "+out.substring(10,16)+"m");
      catch(StringIndexOutOfBoundsException se)
           System.out.println("File not found");
   catch (IOException ioe){ System.err.println(ioe); }
   catch (Throwable t) { t.printStackTrace();}
}

Following line should be modified to make it work on all platforms:
Process output = systemShell.exec("cmd /c dir "+fname);

What is the best software programs that I can use to read, write and modify data / files on external HD (NTFS format i.e. Windows) ?

Hi guys,
I’m new to Mac and have a MacBook Pro Lion OS (10.6.8 I think !!!) with Parallels 7 (Windows 7) installed. Can someone please tell me what is the best software program that I can use to read, write and modify data / files on external HD (NTFS format) from the Mac OS ? I heard of Paragon and Tuxera NTFS. Are they free ? Are they good ? Are there any other software programs out there ? I heard that some people have issues with Paragon.
Thanks.

Your best bet would be to take the drive to the oldest/compatible with that drive Windows PC and grab the files off, right click and format it exFAT (XP users can download exFAT from Microsoft) and then put the files back on.
Mac's can read and write all Windows files formats except write to NTFS (and in some cases not read) so if you can change the format of the drive to exFAT (all data has to be remove first) then you will have a drive that doesn't require paid third party NTFS software (a license fee goes to Microsoft) for updates.
Also it's one less hassle to deal with too.

Finding Plant Creation and Updation Date

Hi all,
I just want to find out if it is possible to find out Plant Creation and Updation Date using ABAP statements. Does it get stored in CHDHR or CDPOS and if yes, then what is the object Key.
Thanks

Check Report RSVTPROT with table name T001W for Plant changes. I do not think it updated CDHDR.
You can SUBMIT this report and get back the list in your custom program.

Created and modified dates all the same

Clock is displaying the correct time but for all types of files the created and modified dates are all displaying the one date. Any suggestions?

Thanks for your input. I want to keep the files with a 1 or ~1 as it happens and delete the rest. I have written some scripts. I think I could write a script to delete all files with a 1, but of course that is not what I want. I guess
I need a script to delete all files except if they contain a 1. I haven't used a forum since way back in the PC mag days.
Whoops..........I just realized exactly what you were telling me and used your suggestion. I guess I was trying to do more work than I needed. I searched for all files with a 1 in the folder and then moved them to a different folder. Then
I deleted the rest. Job done. Thanks for the help.

How To... Update Master Data during upload of transaction data

Can anybody let me know how this can be achieved.
I have datasource (Legacy not R3) where I am getting both master data and text for number of infoobjects.
I dont want separate datasources.
The datasource is actually transactional datasource.
I dont need text in the cubes or DSO I need the text tables of the infoobjects to be updated.
I could find this on SDN but do anyone have document based on the below link.I was not able to find it.
How To... Update Master Data during upload of transaction data
Thanks.

Dear Praveen
I guess yr req is demanding the knowledge of Data Unification and Synchronization whose scope is a bit outer the area of BW.( its MDM actually )
In BW we could very well fetch data out of different data sources (even across the different system) with no issues so why not u trying that. if there is any issue implementing that then please specify what kind of trouble you are interfacing...
I got the below link which may be helpful

How to accessed,created and modified date of particular file in java

Hi,
I am facing one problem.
I know how to get the modified date/time of file in java.
but i don't know how to find created and accessed date/time of file in java.
Thanks,
Tejas

I guess thats not possible in in Windows.
But if u r trying it on a unix machine.
You can use Runtime class to call exec on the command
ls -l filename
and then store the result in a file . And then take out the last modified time. But you cant get created time.
Thats a clumpsy way i believe.
