Gzip and FTP datafiles in one step

Gzip and FTP datafiles in one step
i have 10 datafiles in a single dir. which are between 2GB and 3GB and i want to transfer it to another host using FTP. I want to do the following:
1. gzip all the datafiles
2. FTP them to target server
i want to accomplish this via shell script. Also i want do it in single step so as to save time.. something like below example:
mknod pipe.dmp p
nohup gzip -cNf < pipe.dmp > exp_infdbt01.dmp.gz &
nohup exp userid=system/xxxxx file=pipe.dmp log=exp_infdbt01_$date.log owner=INFADMIN &
Here a pipe is used to gzip the dump file as it generates the dump file and output it to exp_infdbt01.dmp.gz simultaneously..
How can i do something similar to above to accomplish above task in shell script in for loop.. i tried but didn't worked. Any other way?
I have RHEL 4 edition....using BASH shell

you can zip all files in one file quite convenient using tar: tar czf <name of the tarfile>.tar.gz <filenames which must be in it>
An extremely easy way to share files is using NFS, or samba mounts (that way all the network handling is transparent)

  • How to validate XML against XSD and parse/save in one step using SAXParser?

    How to validate XML against XSD and parse/save in one step using SAXParser?
    I currently have an XML file and XSD. The XML file specifies the location of the XSD. In Java code I create a SAXParser with parameters indicating that it needs to validate the XML. However, SAXParser.parse does not validate the XML, but it does call my handler functions which save the elements/attributes in memory as it is read. On the other hand, XMLReader.parse does validate the XML against the XSD, but does not save the document in memory.
    My code can call XMLReader.parse to validate the XML followed by SAXParser.parse to save the XML document in memory. But this sound inefficient. Besides, while a valid document is being parsed by XMLReader, it can be changed to be invalid and saved, and XMLReader.parse would be looking at the original file and would think that the file is OK, and then SAXParser.parse would parse the document without errors.

    Have you looked at the XML DB FAQ thread (second post) in this forum? It has some examples for validating XML against schemas.

  • Double_click and exit SAPLSLVC_FULLSCREEN in one step ?

    I have a program where the user can click a function button on the selection screen to display a ALV list of all entries this user has made.  From the ALV list, I want to allow them to double click a line and return the values to the selection screen and exit the ALV list.
    I got the functionality working to display the list and return the values to the calling program.  But after double click the ALV list is still displayed.  I have to Green Arrow back to return to the original selection screen where the values are filled in.  What do I need to do to have SAPLSLVC_FULLSCREEN  exit as part of the double click event?  The following code is in the main program that has the selection screen.
    class lcl_event_handler definition.

    in the above code, the event gets triggered on double click and when it exits the "on_double_click" method, it returns to CL_SALV_EVENTS_TABLE==========CP   method  RAISE_DOUBLE_CLICK and then continues with additional code in SAPLSLVC_FULLSCREEN  then redisplays the ALV list.   If I do a Green Arrow from the list, it returns to the original program code below ( line after PERFORM DISPLAY_USERS_RECORDS )

    Hi
    Try to insert SET SCREEN 0. LEAVE SCREEN in the method of the event for doubleclick
    But why have you used that event?
    SAPLSLVC_FULLSCREEN is main program of ALV GRID function module, you should manage the doubleclick on USER_COMAND

  • One step DVD won't finalize

    What am I doing wrong? Thank you.
    Recently installed iDVD 5 as part of iLife for the 'One Step DVD' capability, installed over the original iDVD 3. Sony miniDV deck is firewired to my G4 Powerbook. iDVD operates the deck and goes through the One Step protocol just fine until the last step...then freezes up at 'writing leadout' operation. MiniDV clips I've tried are simple and short...no transitions or graphics just straight-from-the-camera miniDV.

    Can you check the audio on the DV tape. Is it 12 bit or 16 bit?
    How much free space is on your startup drive and how much tape (minutes) are you trying to import?
    I'm not a big fan of one step - in my view it just triples your chances for errors.
    I think importing/saving as disk image/burning is three steps, but those extra two steps will save you trouble.

  • One Step iDVD does  not start

    I am using a Sony Digital 8 Handycam DCR-TRV530. I can't get the One Step iDVD function to work. I am using a Pioneer DVR-XD10 DVD/CD writer. The camera is also directly connected by Firewire to the computer. I click on the drop down menu and click on the One Step IDVD function and nothing happens. The camera is supposed to rewind and begin playing the tape while in VCR mode but nothing happens. I don't think the camera is at fault but I'm open to any suggestions.

    Yes, I did. To be more exact, however, the camera detects if you are using Hi-8 tape and will automatically begin recording in digital format. What is weird, though, is that about 20 minutes after posting my message the One Step iDVD process began working as expected.
    Thanks for your response! Greatly appreciated.

  • 101 & 541 in one step, SC vendor indicator

    we have 2 plants in same company code, and using STO (stock transport order, order type UB) to transfer goods from plant A to plant B, now there is one case, plant B ask for a material from plant A, but need it shipped directly to a external vendor, could it be possible to combine GR 101 and transfer 541 in one step? I know it's possible for PO type NB, just use the 'SC vendor' indicator in item detail, tab 'delivery address'. but it seems not working for type UB (or not working for item category U). I can't find the indicator, even set the field to 'required entry' in PO screen layout configuration. So does anybody has any suggestion? is there other solution to do 101 & 541 in one step? or is the indicator 'SC vendor' possible for PO type UB?
    thanks for any idea!

    Hi
    I dont think this will be possible as it is trying to club the two different functionalities. When we define STO means stock has to be received at the receiving plant.
    Once received please move the stock to Vendor.
    Please let me know if you have any questions.

  • Display Blocked BPs-Can we see all detailed analyses in a one step process?

    Hi
    Before releasing any BPs blocked by the system our compliance users check the details of the blocks.
    Currently it is a 2 step process (after they are in the detailed screen of the Display Blocked Business Partners menu):
    1 u2013 Double click on the name of the blocked BPs.
    2 u2013 Click on icon u201CDisplay All Detailed Analysesu201D to show detailed analysis of all hits.
    Is there any way we can make it a one step process and see all details analysis immediately after selecting the blocked BPs?
    SAP Compliance Management -> Sanctioned Party List Screening -> Monitoring -> Business Partner -> Display Blocked Business Partners.
    Thanks!

    We can go to the SPL BP blocked list from the path you have mentioned. In the list select a line item and at the header there is partner. If you click on that you can see detailed analysis in there. Just click on it and it would be one step for you. But from here you can't release.

  • Using "One Step DVD from Movie" on my IMac 10.8.6 using Verbatim DVD-R ("Life Series") 4.7 GB 16X 120, I get a wide angle version of my two minute story rather than the 3X4 standard aspect ratio that I normally get and want.  Help!

    While using "One Step DVD from Movie"  using DVD-R Verbatim ("Life Series" 4.7  16 X  120 min) on my IMac 10.6.8 I get a wide angle aspect ratio on the DVD not the standard 3X4 aspect ratio.  The Quicktime Movie is is standard 3X4 aspect ratio and the video video footage is standard 3X4 aspect ratio?  Advice will be greatly appreciated.

    Try this basic troubleshooting fix :
    1 - delete the IDVD preference file, com.apple.iDVD.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete IDVD'S cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
         User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iDVD folder. 
    Click to view full size
    3 -  reboot.
    4 - launch IDVD and try again.
    Personally I would not the the one step method but create the iDVD project  from scratch so you can make sure the widescreen option is not selected in the preferences and you can follow this workflow:
    Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the  File ➙ Save as Disk Image  menu option.  This will separate the encoding process from the burn process. 
    To check the encoding mount the disk image and launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was good.
    Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality.  Always use top quality media:  Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

  • The little 'down' arrow that used to live next to the forward and back arrows in the upper left of the navigation bar, is missing. It was handy to use to go back in big jumps without having to go back one step at a time. Can you please restore it?

    When searching through a website, covering many pages of information, sometimes you just want to jump back to a page.
    Using the little dow arrow was a handy way to see where you have been and to jump multiple steps/pages backwards without continuing to click back, back, back, until finally reaching where you were. I really use it a lot and am hoping you will either restore it or provide me with a new way to do the same thing.
    Thank you!
    Maggie

    The arrow to open the tab history of the Back and Forward buttons has been removed in Firefox 4 and later.
    Use one of these methods to open the tab history list:
    * Right click on the Back or Forward button
    * Hold down the left mouse button on the enabled Back or Forward button until the list opens
    You can look at this extension:

  • Mapping Issue with 7 source tables and one target table in one step

    Hi,
    Request for a small help in OWB.
    I am trying to map 7 source tables to a single target table in one step.These source tables are in Oracle 10G database but dont have PK and FK relation ship.
    I am able to link one table to the target by pointing some of the columns. But when coming to the second table it is giving some error message :
    Ap18003: Connection target attribute group is already connected to a incompatible data source. Use a joiner or set operator to join the upstream data first before connection it to this operator.
    As per the error message I used a Join operator and tried to map the second table to the target but still giving me the same error message. Could some body give me a hand to give out from this step.
    Thanks for your help in advance.
    Cheers,

  • Export to PDF and Print to Postscript (in one step)

    I am seeking a script that will do the following consecutively:
    * Export to PDF (PDF settings never changes, output directory never changes)
    * Print to PS (printer preset that is used never changes, output directory never changes)
    It would save us a lot of time in our workflow having to do this in one step, with a single keyboard shortcut.
    Since the same PDF and Printer presets are always used, as well as the output directories, It would
    probably be easy to include those settings in the script itself, as opposed to some preference file, I'm guessing.
    If anyone can help me write this, I'd much appreciate it.
    Thanks,
    Destin

    Thanks Gerald for the suggestion.
    Looks like some powerful software there... and a bit pricey for what I need to do (over $500 US dollars, yikes).
    Surely the script I am seeking is much less involved than that.  I suppose I'll have to try to do some Javascript myself,
    which will be a learning experience...

  • One step idvd was was connecting with camera and it has stopped connecting

    i had camera Canon Elura 100 connected to firewire to computer.  I was using one step IDVD and it was working.  Starting using I movie on another camera

    • Are You sure that You are using the FireWire Cable - USB-Cable will not work for miniDV tape Cameras
    FireWire - Sure not using the accompany USB-Cable but bought a 4-pin to 6-pin (or 9-pin) FW one ?
    • Test another FW-Cable very often the problem maker.
    Camera
    • Test Your Camera on another Mac so that DV-in still works OK
    • Toggle in iMovie pref. Play-back via Camera (on <-> off some times)
    • Some Cameras has a Menu where You must select DV-out to get it to work
    • Camera connected to "charger" (mains adaptor) - not just on battery
    • Camera set in Playback mode - NOT Recording mode
    Does Your Camera work on another Mac ?
    Sorry to say it is to easy to turn the 6-pin end of the FW-cable 180 deg wrong.
    This is lethal to the A/D-chip in the Camera = needs an expensive repair.
    (Hard to find out - else than import/export to another Mac ceased to work
    everything else is OK e.g. recording and playback to TV)
    A/D-box
    • Is the dip-switches set right ?
    • Set to same standard as recorded/editing e.g. NTSC 29.97fps or PAL 25fps
    • Try resetting it
    Connections
    • Daisy Chaining most often doesn’t work (some unique cases - it’s the only way that work (some Canon Cameras ?))
    Try to avoid connecting Camera <--> external HD <--> Mac but import directly to the Mac then move
    the Movie project to dedicated external hard disk.
    • FireWire-port - Can be re-setted by - Turn off Mac and disconnecting Mac from Mains/Power for 20-30 minutes
    External device’s (hard disk’s)
    • Should be FireWire as USB/USB2 performs badly and so does Airport or Net-work connected ones too.
    • MUST BE - Mac OS Extended formatted - UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange - DO NOT WORK for video due to 4Gb barrier.
    Mac
    • Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk ? Please specify the amount of free space.
    (Other hard disks don't count)
    I go for a minimum of 25Gb free space for 4x3 SD Video - and my guess is 5 times more for 16x9 HD ones
    after material is imported and edited.
    • Does Your Mac have a FireWire Port
    • White MacBooks - don't
    • MacBook-Air - don't
    if not then a few Mac’s has a PCM-CIA slot and there are FW-Cards that makes a FW-port this way
    else - NO SOLUTION
    Only option as I get it is either
    • Use another Mac to Capture material (to an external USB2 - Mac OS Extended formatted hard disk - or -
    • Change to another Camera that can be used with Your Mac (no there are no miniDV tape Cameras that can)
    • If Your Mac-Book has a PCM-CIA Card place - then there are FW-port-Cards and then
    You can import via this - but I've not seen this on more modern Macs. My PowerBook G4
    has one and this FW-Card-port works greatly.
    SoftWare
    • Delete iMovie pref. file may help sometimes. I rather start a new account, log into this and have a re-try.
    • Any strange Plug-ins into QuickTime as Perian etc ? Remove and try again.
    • FileVault is off ? (hopefully)
    • Screen Saver - OFF
    • Energy Saver - OFF
    Using WHAT versions ? .
    • Mac OS - X.5.4 ?
    • QuickTime version ? (This is the heart in both iMovie and FinalCut)
    • iMovie’08 (7.1.?), 09 or 11 ?
    • iMovie HD 6 (6.0.4/3) ?
    Other ways to import Your miniDV tape
    • Use another Camera. There where tape play-back stations from SONY
    but they costed about 2-4 times a normal miniDV Camera.
    • If Your Camera works on another Mac. Make an iMovie movie project here and move it
    over to Your Mac via an external hard disk.

    Hi Bengt W, I tried it all, but nothing worked. Your answer has been helpful insofar as all the different trials led to the conclusion that there was something wrong with my iMovie software. I therefore threw everything away and reinstalled iMovie from the HD. After that the exportation of DV videos (there has not been any problem with HDV videos) to my Sony camcorders worked properly as it did before. Thank you. LKN 1935

    If so it has to be Mac OS Extended formatted
    ----> UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange is NOT Working for VIDEO !

    Thanks for all your suggestions. What I learned is that I had a software problem. I had something called "Nikon Transfer" on my Mac that was recognizing my Canon camcorder as a still camera and was preventing iMovie from working properly. After un-installing Nikon Transfer and doing a reboot, everything worked great.
    I never liked the Nikon Transfer software anyway--I guess I'll get a cheap card reader and use that to transfer photos in the future.
    No Camera or bad import
    • USB hard disk
    • Network storage
    • File Vault is on

    The problem was the external backup hard drive that is connected, you need to disconnect the external drive before the mac can see the video camera.

    Maybe your problems is solved in the meantime, but for all others this might help as I had the same problem, also have the Sony HDR-HC7, but the 7e (Europe, PAL). I found this link today and it works perfectly
    //support.sony-europe.com/tutorials/dime/videotransfer/vtransfer.aspx site=odw_en_GB&sec=DVH&m=HDR-HC7E
    What I exactly did.- put camera in play mode - open guide - choose connection guide - choose comp./printer (where to transfer movie to) - select connection.- i-link (on my camera) but equal to firewire - OK - choose HDV - choose NO for conversion of i.link.
    Settings are shown then (VCR HDV/DV.- HDV and i.link-conv..- OFF), press OK, OK, END.
    Switch camera off. Connect firewire cable to camera & Mac. Switch camera on, in play/edit mode.
    Open i-movie, choose import from camera. On screen below the camera connection is shown.- DV (HDV). Now you can import, automatically or manually.
    This worked perfectly for me. Took me 2 days to find out. Could not find any clear thread explaining what I had to do on the camera and the manual was not clear either.

  • IDVD 6- One Step  and IMOVIE

    I had no trouble downloading video from my Sony Handycam when I was using Panther. Now that I've upgraded to Tiger, I can't seem to get a download to work either on IDVD or IMOVIE. I'm using a firewire and doing everything I did previously with Panther.
    I tried to do IDVD One Step and get this message after just a few seconds of "capturing video"-- " No video has been captured. Aborting One Step DVD creation"
    When I try IMOVIE I get a blank screen with no clips showing up even if I leave the camera running for an hour.
    I've tried disconnecting the camera and restarting the computer with the same results.

    I had this problem as well. What I did was put the camcorder in "Playback" or "VCR" mode and pressed the play button on the camcorder so the tape would start rolling playing footage. While it is playing, all i had to do was click the OneStep DVD and it started recording.
