Get (variable) file path and name in a text element

How do you get the (variable) file path and name in a text element (label) in LCD? If you save the PDF and afterwards relocate it, it should update the values. Is that actually possible?

Does anyone have any advice on this issue?
Thanks in advance,

"File Path and Name" field not displaying correctly

Post Author: DaveWoo
CA Forum: General
Hello,Here's my situation: I'm currently upgrading from Crystal Reports for Visual Studio .NET 2003 to Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2005. I have several reports (programmatically generated using VB.NET) that use the "File Path and Name" special field. Now, in the old version of Crystal Reports (2003), the field properly displayed the original file path and name; however, in the new version (2005), the field displays as "C:\DOCUME1\Username\LOCALS1\Temp\Filename{F2459406-3719-4C8B-917C-4A7055A18C76}.tmp" - in other words, the location of the temporary .rpt file.How do I get the "File Path and Name" field to correctly display the path & name of the original file, like it did in the prior version?- Dave

This is a known issue tracked under ADAPT0000962216. At this time I do not know when this will be resolved, however Service Pack 2 for CR 2008 is targeted to be released by September and this may contain the fix.

What is the correct way to format file paths and names in the structapp file?

I am trying to create a structured application to export fm files as xml, and probably read the xml back to fm.
In the structured application file (structapp), I need to specify the locations of the various files (DTD, read/write, template, etc). I would like to place these files on a shared server so others can use the same structapp file (that is, a cop of it). What is the correct way to format the file paths and names? Can folders folder names and file names have spaces in them? I tried the following, for example:
\\serverName\shareName\folder 1\folder 2\file name.dtd
I use the same format for the template file and the read/write rules file.
When I try to save an fm file to xml, FrameMaker says that it cannot read the DTD; however, the resulting xml file appears to be well-formed. The DOCTYPE element in the resulting xml is formatted with forward slashes and spaces replaced with %20.
I tried using forward slashes and replacing spaces with %20, but then I get an error about reading the read/write rules.
NOTE: I have another structured application to read xml into fm. This application does not have a DTD file. The template and read/write rules files are specified as above. Except for complaining about a lack of a DTD, the application works fine; it even applies an XSLT in the process. Again, when I DO add a DTD to this latter application, I get the same complaint about not being able to read the DTD.
I am using fully patched FrameMaker 9 in Windows XP.
Thanks,
Van

Hi Van,
The XML parser and FrameMaker are not the same thing. The Error Log says which component created which message. The XSL processor is another option that can throw messages. The "\\server\path\some.dtd" syntax in structapps.fm seems to be fine for some tools, as Internet Explorer with XML tools successfully finds the DTD which appears as "//server/path/some.dtd" in the XML. But apparently Xerxes, the XML parser bundled with FrameMaker, does not like this notation.
If you have a path with a drive letter, "H:\path\some.dtd", FrameMaker turns that into "file:///H:/path/some.dtd". It seems, Xerces would like to see "file:/" in front of absolute paths.
This is what I have in structapps.fm:
Template: \\server\path\projecttemplate.fm
DTD: some.dtd
Read/write rules: \\server\path\projectrules.txt
DOCTYPE: …
Entity locations
Entity search paths
1: \\server\path\
In the structapps.fm I have the DTD without path information. The resulting XML (without XSL postprocessing) then contains just the file name with a relative path back to the book folder (when saving a book as XML). It therefore requires the DTD to be available at this place. I handle this using an event script that fires for NotePreSaveXml and copies the DTD to the folder of the original document.
As I always use XSL postprocessing and using XSLT1 it is not possible to have the doctype-system as a parameter I have this in my XSL stylesheet:
<xsl:output doctype-system="some.dtd" />
For the resulting XML the DTD is expected to be in the same folder as the XML file. This is handled by the same event script as above, it therefore copies the DTD to the source and the target folder.
Bottom line: If you want/have to use UNC paths, you have to do some programming to work around a FrameMaker bug.

File Path and Name field does not display correct path

We are using Crystal 2008 along with VS 2005. We embed the special "File Path and Name" field inside our report and it displays the correct path when viewed inside Crystal reports:
C:\Program Files\reports\Chart.rpt
When run through the web and viewed in the DHTML viewer, the file name and path appear as follows:
C:\Windows\TEMP\Chart {02152A43-3339-4C03-A50A-E281E1D391AF}.rpt
How can this be corrected?
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

File Path and Name

Hi everyone,
I am scheduling reports in Crystal Reports Server. My reports contain the "Special Field" File Path and Name. However, when the report is sent out via CRS, it prints a different location of where the report actually resides. In CRS, how can I make the file path and name field print the actual location of the report file rather than a rogue location?
Thanks in advance,

FTP adapter should take file path and name at runtime..

Hello All,
I have requirement of getting the file from remote machine into local machine..thinking FTP adapter should help me to do this..
I dont need to poll the remote directory. rather I will pass the exact path and name of the file to be fetched during runtime as an input to the bpel process.
How to configure the FTP Adapter to receive the file path runtiime and gets it to local machine.
Is it doable using ftp adapter..?
Thanks
Saikrishna

Hello Anne,
Thank you for the help.
I am not able to call a adapter partner link using invoke activity..I am facing variable type conflicts.
modified the
OutboundFtpHeaderType wsdl to take file name and directory as:
<complexType>
<sequence>
<element name="*fileName*" type="string"/>
<element name="*directory*" type="string"/>
</sequence>
</complexType>
Using Adapters tab of Invoke activity created a variable:
<variable name="outputVariable"
messageType="client:FTPadapterResponseMessage"/>
<variable name="*filePath*" messageType="ns2:OutboundHeader_msg"/>
Using Assign Activity, assigned the input varibales to the ftp outboundHeader variable:
<assign name="Assign_1">
<copy>
<from variable="inputVariable" part="payload"
query="/client:FTPadapterProcessRequest/client:*directory*"/>
<to variable="*filePath*" part="outboundHeader"
query="/ns2:OutboundFTPHeaderType/ns2:directory"/>
</copy>
<copy>
<from variable="inputVariable" part="payload"
query="/client:FTPadapterProcessRequest/client:*filename*"/>
<to variable="*filePath*" part="outboundHeader"
query="/ns2:OutboundFTPHeaderType/ns2:fileName"/>
</copy>
</assign>
Used the created variable in the invoke activity as a input paramater to the partner link:
<invoke name="Invoke_1" partnerLink="ftpAdapterTest"
portType="ns1:SynchRead_ptt" operation="SynchRead"
inputVariable="*filePath*" bpelx:inputHeaderVariable="filePath"/>
<reply name="replyOutput" partnerLink="client" portType="client:FTPadapter"
operation="process" variable="outputVariable"/>
I am getting an error in invoke activity:
Variable type does not match the input type.
Thanks

           parameter_1 = it_cntry-cntry
         IMPORTING
           file_name        = l_file
         EXCEPTIONS
           file_not_found   = 08.
    CALL FUNCTION <b>'FILE_GET_NAME_USING_PATH'</b>       EXPORTING
         logical_path = 'ZDELCHKREP'
         file_name = l_file
       IMPORTING

How to create result file path and name in teststand

Hi,
I would like to create specific path(folder) and file name to result files. For example ..\date\ArticleNr\DateTimeSerialNr.xml. Thank you very much in adance.
Kri.

Kri,
You can use Configure >> Report Options, and then select the Report File Pathname tab to configure where your reports will end up, and what the file name will be. If you want to have these be different for each sequence, then add the ReportOptions Callback to each sequence and then modify the settings in the Parameters.ReportOptions container to what you want.
This link may also be helpful as it talks about what you're are trying to do: Report File Name

Max length of VI file paths and file names

Hi,
Is there a maximum allowed length of VI file paths and file names in LabVIEW? I'm running LV 6.0.2i on NT and is trying to save a VI inside a LLB and LabVIEW crashes each time. I have also tried to copy the VI from the LLB to a temp folder with the Librarian VI, but LabVIEW crashes as well. The total length of the file path is around 260 characters and I strongly suspect the file path length in combination with LLB because when I use a shorter path the problem disappear. If I use a long path without LLB (just regular VIs) a warning appear "Invalid file name" instead of LabVIEW crashing.
Does anybody know the solution to this problem or must I use shorter filepaths? Perhaps it depends on which platform I am running
LV on?
Sincerely,
Mattias Ericsson

I believe windows has a 255 character pathname (file+path) limit. We once
had that problem because we had a long filename and a longer pathname.
Moved the directory up a couple levels and problem solved.

Specify the output file path and print name when printing pages

hi,
how can i Specify the output pdf file path and print name when i am using the function PrintPagesSilent from AcroAVDoc Object.
My Code :-
Acrobat.AcroAVDoc doc = new Acrobat.AcroAVDoc();doc.Open(path,
"temp");

Dear Irosenth,
i try with different format (doc, docx, xls, jpg, bmp and txt) and it working successfully, but it give an random name for the file which saved in default folder for Adobe PDF print.
you can use the following function:
private void PrintPDF(string[] inputfilepath){
foreach (string path in inputfilepath){
Acrobat.
AcroAVDoc doc = new Acrobat.AcroAVDoc();doc.Open(path,
"temp");
Boolean v = doc.PrintPagesSilent(0, ((Acrobat.AcroPDDoc)(doc.GetPDDoc())).GetNumPages() - 1, 0, 0, 1);doc.Close(1);
and calling it by the following code:
PrintPDF(System.IO.Directory.GetFiles("c:\\t\\printjob"));
copy all files that you want to convert in side the mentioned path and run it program, then check the defualt print path for Adobe PDF printer.
test it and reply me. thanks again

Using AppleScript/Automator to get file path and create AFP hyperlink

Hi All,
A colleague has asked for a service (contextual menu item in Finder) to get a selected item's remote (afp://) file path and copy it to the clipboard... Pretty sure I've got that part down.
What I need advice on is how to make the resulting pasted file path into a serviceable hyperlink. AFP keeps telling me there was an error connection to the server.... Does the copied path have to include mounting commands and user credentials for this to work??
Thanks,
Nathan

Hi Richard - here's the script:
tell application "Finder"
          set sel to the selection as text
          set TempTID to AppleScript's text item delimiters
          set AppleScript's text item delimiters to space
          set sel to text items of sel
          set AppleScript's text item delimiters to "%20"
          set sel to sel as string
          set AppleScript's text item delimiters to TempTID
set the clipboard to "file://" & POSIX path of sel
end tell

Path and Name field in SPD 2010 Workflow for creating Doc Sets

Hi Guys,
Here's hoping you can help out and give a few pointers. I'm currently trying to implement what I thought was quite a simple workflow involving the creation of a Content Type (similar to Doc Set but with additional field) within an alternative library when
a new item is added to the current library.
Create Item in CaseFileLibrary (Output to Variable: CaseFile)
When running the workflow, I keep getting the following error:
"The workflow could not create the list item because the file name is either missing or invalid. "
It seems to be related to the 'File and Path' field within the 'Create New List Item' field mappings. For this I have tried the CurrentItem:Title as some other forums suggest and have also tried entering the URL path e.g. /subsite_name/library_name/CurrentItem:Title.
(as the name of the CaseFile (Doc Set) is going to be the same as the current item name)
If anyone has any suggestions, I would be truely greatful.
Luke

Hi Luke,
This error indicates there is an error in the workflow logic. Ensure that the file name entered in the Path and Name field is a valid file name. Common reasons for a file name to be invalid include a missing or incorrect file extension or a file/path string
that is too long and exceeds the allowable number of characters.
More information, please refer to :
Common error messages in SharePoint workflow development
For the URL that you used in the ‘Create New List Item’, whether the CurrentItem:Title is a lookup, not typed by yourself. If not, please type /subsite_name/library_name/, then lookup CurrentItem:Title, like the below, then save and publish the workflow,
compare the result.
In addition, please use another name for the name, compare the result.
Best Regards,
Wendy

Hi All,
Is there any function module that I can use to get the file path in the system for TEMP folder.
I mean, i am supposed to give only TEMP as the input for that function module and I need to get the path of that in the system as the output.
I am unsing 4.0 version.
Please advice.
Regards
Ramesh

In Higher versions, we can use the below code:
call method CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>ENVIRONMENT_GET_VARIABLE
    exporting
      VARIABLE   = 'TEMP'
    importing
      VALUE      = LV_TMP
    exceptions
      CNTL_ERROR = 1
      others     = 2.
if SY-SUBRC <> 0.
    message id SY-MSGID type SY-MSGTY number SY-MSGNO
    with SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
endif.
call method CL_GUI_CFW=>FLUSH
    exceptions
      CNTL_SYSTEM_ERROR = 1
      CNTL_ERROR        = 2
      others            = 3.
if SY-SUBRC <> 0.
Error handling
endif.
concatenate lv_tmp '\' into folder_path.
But need to know in the lower versions like 3.1h and 4.0,
