How do I know if a file is open (being used) by any program?

I'm trying to write a program that will log file usage. For example, it will log when a file (or program) begins to be used (or opened), and then log when it is closed.
So what I'm looking for is a method / algorithm that will tell me if a file is currently open (or if an executable fileis currently open, in the case of a program).

If you mean the ability to do this system wide (and not just in your app) then you would need to use JNI and a HOOK function (assuming this is windows you are talking about). I am sure there are similar hooks in UNIX/LINUX.

How to make a remote panel file dialog open remote directory from any computer

Hello to everybody. I am using Labview 6.1 and I would like to know how to make a remote panel file dialog open remote directory from any computer (Not only from a specific computer. If I open the file with a specific computer, I have to conect the path of the remote machine, but if I don´t know which remote computer is going to run the aplication, how can I do it?)?

Hi!
first you have to know progammatically the name of the remote pc connected to your server: this is a problem!
I did not find a straigth way, LV 6.1 doesn't allow much progammatic control on the remote panel connection feature, but I'm confident that in the next LV version this will be improved!
The point is that the Remote Panel Connection Manager (from the Tools menu) has all the informations about the connection: client name, server vi and whatever.
This application is embedded in the \PROJECT\REMOTEPANEL.LLB and consists of a set of password protected vis.
So here's the trick: use VIServer to grab data from the rpcm Get Server Data.vi when the Remote Panel Connection Manager is in run mode. By this you get all the informations (not only client name)o
f the remote panel connection. See my example.
By the way use client machine name to build the file dialog function input path.
If anybody has an alternative method it would be more than appreciated to share it.
Good luck,
Alberto Locatelli

Hello @JoBla,
Thank you for the information, and welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
I have read your post on how you are wondering if your desktop computer's hard disk is caching is being used, and I would be happy to assist you in this matter!
For caching on your computer, you will have needed to install one of the following drives:
1 TB, 7200 rpm, SATA
2 TB, 7200 rpm, SATA
3 TB, 7200 rpm, SATA
1 TB, 7200 rpm, SATA + 16 GB Disk Caching Solid State Drive
2 TB, 7200 rpm, SATA + 16 GB Disk Caching Solid State Drive
3 TB, 7200 rpm, SATA + 16 GB Disk Caching Solid State Drive
128 GB SATA Solid State Drive
256 GB SATA Solid State Drive
It is likely that this caching drive will be shown in Disk Management, which can be accessed by following this document on Partitioning and Naming Drives (Windows 8). It is important to note that an mSATA drive will not be visible in Windows, if you have one installed. You will also need to have Intel RST software installed.
I hope this helps!

How to check if a DSO Active Table is being used in any look-up's?

Hi Gurus,
We have a DSO that is being loaded on a weekly basis. Now this DSO is being loaded right from the time our project went live. There are no reports built on top of this DSO and the DSO is not being used as a Data Mart i.e. it doesn't feed any other DSO's or InfoCube's. Also this DSO is not being used in any MultiProviders.
So the only sensible reason for using this DSO that we can think of is that the data from this DSO is being 'looked up' by some other DSO's or InfoCube at run-time. So Is it possible to check if the active data table of an DSO is being ;looked up' at run time by some other data loads? I already tried using an 'Where Used List' on the active data table of the DSO, but it didn't show any results.
Thanks
Arvind

Try the following:
Check the table RSAABAP in SE16, you can search the technical name of DSOs active table in field EDIC.
You get all Code-IDs, where this table is used in ABAP coding.
In RSAROUT you can check, which code-type it is.
Now you know, if the DSO is used in any routines.
Hope this helps.
Regards
Tobias

How to know if a specific InfoObject is being used in any Query

Dear SDN members,
I have an InfoObject which is being used for one of the InfoCube. This specific Infocube has more than 100 queries created. Is there any way I can find out if above mentioned Info Object is being used anywhere in one of those queries without manually checking one by one.
I tried where used list which appears on the InfoObject screen. This is just showing Cubes, ODS, TRs, Infosources... but not covering the queries.
Your help is much appreciated.
many thanks
Shanthi

Hi Shanti,
You can see this in the Metadata repository.
Select infoobject and the the specific infoobject.
It will show you a list of queries where the infoobject is used.

Assuming that you don't want to actually do this from within Java code (which would obviously require native code), here's a utility that will give you a list of which file handles are opened by which processes (on Windows):

How can i upload a image file to server by using jsp or servlet.

Hi,
I m gurumoorthy. how can i upload a image file to server by using jsp or servlet without using third party API. pls anyone send me atleast outline of the source code.
Pls send me anyone.
Regards,
Gurumoorthy.

I'm not an applet programmer so I can't give you much advice there.
If you want to stream the file from the server before it's entirely uploaded, then I don't believe you can treat it like a normal file. If you're just wanting to throw it up there and then listen to it, then you can treat it like a normal file.
But again, I'm not entirely certain. You might be able to stream the start of the file from the server while you're still uploading the end of it, but it probably depends on what method you're using to do the transfer.

This forum is dedicated to topics related to custom application development or deployment with Crystal Reports in .Net. This includes full versions of Crystal Reports as well as those versions of Crystal Reports bundled with Microsoft Visual Studio .Net.
As you do not want to do any coding, this query is in the wrong forum. However, in most versions of Crystal Reports, you can look up the database connection information by simply opening the report in the CR designer. Then go to the database menu and select "Set Datasource Location..."

How to insert data from *.dmp file to oracle 11g using Oracle SQL Develope

hi
i backup my database using PL/SQL developer and made *.dmp file
how to insert data from *.dmp file to oracle 11g using Oracle SQL Developer 2.1.1.64
and how to make *.dmp file from sql*plus ?
thanks in advance

Pl/Sql developer has a config window, there you choose the exec to do the import/export.
Find it and his home version, it may be exp or expdp, the home version is the version of the client where the exp executable is.
Then use the same version of imp or impdp to execute the import, you do not need to use Oracle SQL Developer 2.1.1.64. If you want to use it, you must have the same version in the oracle home that exp/imp of sql developer use.
