How to determine if "File in use"

How can I determine if a file is currently being 'used' that would prevent me from copying over the file. I would like to be able to determine who is using this file (win id). As a test i tried the following and got an error as expected:
PS C:\src> move-item -path "main14.fmx" -destination "c:\forms" -force
Move-Item : Cannot create a file when that file already exists.
At line:1 char:10
+ move-item <<<<  -path "main14.fmx" -destination "c:\forms" -force
    + CategoryInfo          : WriteError: (C:\forms\main14.fmx:FileInfo) [Move-Item], IOException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : MoveFileInfoItemIOError,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.MoveItemCommand
In my script I would like to know WHO is currently using the file; a "try...catch" scenario would only keep me from completing the copy, but I would want to know who is using the file so that I  can call USER and ask him/her to close the file
so that I can copy latest version.

PS C:\> openfiles /?
Note that this is not a support forum for the
openfiles command.

  • How to find the File name using the FTP Adapter

    hi all,
    how to find the File name using the FTP Adapter with BPEL.
    Regards

    Found the solution for this.
    First In the mediator's routing rule use assign property $in.property.jca.file.FileName to $out.property.jca.file.FileName
    In the BPEL's receive activity go to the properties tab and get the property to a BPEL variable. That should do it.
    Thanks for the posts

  • How to import WMV file for use in adobe programs, especially After Effects and/or Premier?

    How to import WMV file for use in adobe programs, especially After Effects and/or Premier?

    I have the latest adobe creative cloud and i'm using Mac 10.8.2
    My client gave me a wmv file that she wants some people blurred out in the background but when I go to import the media, it's greyed out. I'm assuming that After Effects will be the best solution for this, but maybe there is another way.
    I can purchase a video converter and convert it to .mov but that costs extra money that I don't want to spend just to do this one project.

  • How do you disable "FILE IN USE" pop-ups so you can actually edit and delete PDFs?!

    Can someone please help me with this query:
    How do you disable "FILE IN USE" pop-ups so you can actually edit and delete PDFs?!
    I continue to have a pop saying that either the file in open somewhere in the serve- which it is not- and I cannot delete a particular pdf or edit it.
    It's incredibly frustrating and in the end I end up having four files with different names because it won't let me edit the original file!!!!

    Hi Amila1,
    Are the pdfs stored on a network location?
    If so is the Preview pane turned ON?
    Please check the doc: http://kb.globalscape.com/KnowledgebaseArticle10862.aspx

  • How to determine which file descriptor opened my driver?

    Suppose a user process opens my driver twice. How does open() determine which file descriptor opened the device? In Linux, the kernel will pass a pointer to a structure which represents the open file descriptor. However, Solaris only passes the device number to open(), so I can only determine my device was opened, but not which file. I need this information because my driver needs to keep track of all file descriptors opened for the device.
    Thanks!
    -Darren

    I'm still at a loss why you need to know the file descriptor value (unless the app is sufficiently spaghettied that it has to query the driver to figure out what it opened with what). It's like asking what filename was used to open the device (which you can't get either). Since Solaris is based on a Streams framework, it would be bad to have drivers to even think it has a direct mapping into user space. It would be the same in asking (using /bin/sh):
    prog3 4>&1 3>&1 2>&1 | prog2 | prog1
    and you want to know from prog1 what descriptor prog3 wrote to. I don't see how linux even does this properly, since any given file open can have multiple file descriptors (via dup).

  • How to determine binary file data set size

    Hi all
    I am writing specific sets of array data to a binary file, appending each time so the file grows by one data set for each write operation.  I use the set file position function to make sure that I am at the end of the file each time.
    When I read the file, I want to read only the last 25 (or some number) data sets.  To do this, I figured on using the set file position function to place the file position to where it was 25 data sets from the end.  Easy math, right ?  Apparently not.
    Well, as I have been collecting file size data as I have started the initial tet run, I am finding the the file size (using file size command and getting number of bytes as a result) that the size is not growing the same amount every time.  My size and format of my data being written is identical each time, an array of four double precision numbers.
    The increments I get are as follows, after first write - 44 bytes, after 2nd - 52 bytes, 3rd - 52 bytes, 4th 44 bytes, 5th - 52 bytes, 6th - 52 bytes, 7th - 44 bytes and it appears to maintain this pattern going forward.
    Why would each write operation not be identical in size of bytes.  This means that my basic math for determining the correct file poistion to read only the last 25 data sets will not be simple and if somewhere along the line after I have accumulated hundreds or thousands of data sets, what if the pattern changes.
    Any help on why this is occuring or on a method of working around the problem would be much appreciated.
    Thanks

    "My only wish is that I am capable of learning each and every day until my last breath."
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I have stripped out the DSC module functions from the vi and attached it here.  I also set default values to all the inputs so it will run with no other inputs.  I also included my current data files (zipped as I have four of them) though the file names are hard coded in the vi so they can be changed to whatever works locally. In fact probably will have to be to modified for the path anyway.
    If you point to a path that has no file, it will create a new one on the first run and the file size will show zero since there is no data in it. It will start to show the changes on each subsequent run.
    As I am creating and appending four different files, each with it's own set of data but always the same format (array of four double precision numbers) and the file size information always increments the same for all four files (as will be seen in the File Size Array) I don't think it is a function of the size of the acutal numbers but something idiosyncracy with how the binary file is created.
    If this proves to be a major hurdle I guess I could try a TDM file but I already got everything else working with this one and need to move on to other tasks.
    Thanks for any continued assistance

  • How to get Bursting file to use the same template as selected by user

    I have created an XML publisher bursting control file for a standard Oracle report Direct Debit letter.
    The user wants to be able to select from a number of different letter templates which is ok except that the bursting control file is fixed to use one template.
    How can I get the bursting control file to use the same letter template as selected by the user when running the report ?
    I am using XML Publisher 5.6.3 with bursting patch.

    Try these following, which come to my mind now as of now.
    In the bursting file, you can do the filtering and apply different template..
    <xapi:template type="rtf" location="/usr/template1" filter=".//DIRECT_DEBIT[./parameter_or_element='first_template']"></xapi:template>
    <xapi:template type="rtf" location="/usr/template2" filter=".//DIRECT_DEBIT[./parameter_or_element='second_template']"></xapi:template>
    second option..
    you can replace the element from the xml in the bursting control file.
    ${ELEMENT_NAME}
    can be used in the template name i guess..
    <xapi:template type="rtf" locale=""
    location="xdo://AR.${SHORT_NAME}.en.US/?getSource=true" translation="" filter="">
    </xapi:template>
    But in this short name has to be in XML file...
    I haven;t tried it...wil try it wheni get time..

  • How to determine the purchasing group using BADI BBP_PGRP_FIND

    Hello Friends
    We use SRM Server 5.5 (Classic scenario).
    As you know that, purchasing group has the responsible product categories in PPOMA_BBP, when user creates the shopping cart to determine the purchasing group. 
    In our case, we should determine the purchasing group using other criteria.
    MM side is OK to determine the purchasing group using specific criteria.
    Because Material Master has the purch. Group information. 
    In case of SRM, we should develop the logic using BBP_PGRP_FIND BADI.
    But I’m not sure how to use this badi.
    We want to determine the purchasing group based on the following logic.
    If described shopping cart without product ID
    Do Standard purchasing group determination logic.
    Else
    Assign the purch group from MARC- EKGRP (Purchasing Group)
    Is it possible to determine above the logic?
    If yes, Could you give me some information?
    Thank you,
    Best regards,
    SH

    Thank you for your answer.
    I found the way to develop the our logic using BADI: bbp_pgrp_find.
    But I’m not sure the following logic is correct.
    To differentiate described req. or product id req, We check the E_ITEM – PRODUCT using BBP_PD_SC_GETDETAIL.
    IF E_ITEM – PRODUCT is blank, Read the category ID to find the purchasing group.
    To find the purch. Group, we can use FM:  BBP_OM_DETERMINE_RESP_PGRP.
    Import parameter: IS_RESP_ITEM_DATA – Category _ID
    Export parameter: ES_PURCH_DATA
    ELSE
    CALL the customer function to read the R/3 purchasing group from MARC- EKGRP
    Search the HRT5500-TABNR using purchasing group from R/3.
    Search the HRP5500 – OBJID using HRT5500-TABNR
    Call the FM:  BBP_OM_DETERMINE_RESP_PGRP
    Import parameter: IS_RESP_ITEM_DATA – PROC_GROUP – OBJID
    Export parameter: ES_PURCH_DATA
    Thank you

  • How to determine the process alias using condition technique in Transportation & Shipment Scheudling?

    Dear All,
    I am trying to use the functionality Transportation and Shipment Scheduling in GATP.
    I would like to know that how the sytem determines the process alias using condition technique in Transportation & Shipment Scheudling?
    As the Transportation & Shipment Scheduling functionality can be extended further by using the configurable process to overcome the complex scenario. But it needs that process alias should not be determined by using the condition technique.
    Moreover, is it possible to use both functionality simultaneously in the system. i.e. Transportation and Shipment Scheduling using condition technique and Transportation and Shipment Scheduling using configurable process?
    Thanks & Regards
    Piyush Ranpura

    Hi Piyush,
    I have added a small overview in the SCN WIKI which shows you the two ways for the process alias determination and also here as attachment:
    http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/SCM/Time+and+Scheduling+Functions
    Yes, depending on your customizing you can use both scheduling methods in parallel. e.g. you activate CPS just for a specific ITEM category or product and/or customer and/or....what ever you want.
    best regards,

  • How to determine the IPS throughput using Cisco ASA 5500 IPS Solution?

    Hello there!
    I´ve been desinging a solution to protect de Server Farm and I intend to use the ASA 5500 series with AIP-SSM module. There´s any tool to determine the real throughput that I need? I mean, how to determine the performance (Firewall + IPS  throughput), what main points I should consinder?

    If the server farm is running production levels of traffic today you can get statistics off a variety of networking devices passing the existing traffic. Switches, routers and firewalls all count every byte of traffic they pass. There are plenty of tools that can gather this traffic into tables via SNMP too, such as MRTG.
    Do not average your traffic over too great a time peroid, you will miss busy hour peaks. At most, use 5 min averages.

    For WLS you can use: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E13222_01/wls/docs81/admin_ref/clic.html
    For OIM as mentioned above
    For SOA: $mw_home\Oracle_SOA\bin\soaversion.cmd (or soaversion.sh) to know the SOA version or

  • How to Determine Text File Encoding is UNICODE

    Hi Gurus,
    How to determine whether the file is a UNICODE format or not?
    I have the file stored as a BLOB column in a table
    Thanks,
    Sombit

    That's a rather hard problem. You would, realistically, either have to make a bunch of simplifying assumptions based on the data or you would want to buy a commercial tool that does character set detection.
    There are a number of different ways to encode Unicode (UTF-8, UTF-16, UTF-32, USC-2, etc.) and a number of different versions of the Unicode standard. UTF-8 is one of the more common ways to encode Unicode. But it is popular precisely because the first 127 characters (which is the majority of what you'd find in English text) are encoded identically to 7-bit ASCII. Depending on the size and contents of the document, it may not be possible to determine whether the data is encoded in 7-bit ASCII, UTF-8, or one of the various single-byte character sets that are built off of 7-bit ASCII (ISO 8859-15, Windows-1252, ISO 8859-1, etc).
    Depending on how many different character sets you are trying to distinguish between, you'd have to look for binary values that are valid in one character set and not in another.
