How to rename the desktop?

Hello all. I just went into Time Machine to retrieve a large file that was in my desktop, and I chose to bring the entire desktop onto my computer. So basically, I moved the file into my actual desktop, and I deleted the one that I just copied into my computer. Now, my desktop is called Desktop (original), and it's driving me NUTS. Can you guys

Try restarting your Mac. While checking something related to your issue, I somehow managed to rename the Desktop (but can't repeat it so don't ask me how I managed to do that). On restart & login a new, empty Desktop folder was created, but the renamed one was also visible in the Finder. I could then drag its contents out onto the Desktop & trash the now empty renamed one.
I hope that works for you too!

How to define the desktop folder?

Hi,
I entered the following lines into the Terminal application:
sudo mv desktop desktop.bak
ln -s /Users/username/Dropbox/./Desktop
this command defined my Dropbox folder as the OS X desktop. plus, my Home folder now contains a folder called desktop.bak.
how can I undo this?
is it possible to define a folder inside the Home folder or inside the Dropbox folder as the OS X desktop?
thanks in advance for your suggestions.
best, Ian

@Niel
thanks a lot, the commands you suggested created a folder called Desktop.old inside my Home folder that now seems serve as the OS X Desktop. the dropbox folder no longer serves as the Desktop.
I'd have some further questions:
is it safe to delete the desktop.bak folder from the Home folder?
is it safe to rename the Desktop.old folder to simply Desktop?
is it possible to define a folder inside the dropbox folder as the OS X Desktop?
again, thank you Niel for your very helpful answer.

How to Rename the file in the application server?

Hi friends.
How to Rename the file in the application server? via abap program so pls kindly let me know thr any function module is there.
Thanks
With Regards
I.Muthukumar.

Dont think there is any quick fix way of doin this, however you can use the following sequence of dataset ops to get what you need:
READ DATASET - retrieve contents of current AS file
TRANSFER DATASET - create a new file on AS with the contents read in READ
DELETE DATASET - delete the original file on AS (if TRANSFER above is successful)
Hope this approach helps.
Cheers,

How to rename the button "Give FInal Ratings" in appraisal.

Hi,
How to rename the button "Give FInal Ratings" in appraisal. (In Manager Appraisal the manager finally clicks on "Give Final Ratings" button. I want to rename this button.)
I tried through personalization but could not locate the button name in the personalization structure , so that I can rename it.
regards
Edited by: Maya on Nov 24, 2012 11:23 PM

Hi Maya,
In personalization, find the item with simiilar word pattern . For Example : "%Final%Rating" or something like this.
You will get the item as well as block name.
As per my understanding , If you want to change the button label , then set the property : LABEL for that item.
Apply and Save the personalization.
Switch over responsibility and retest the case.

How to rename the folder in KM

Hi Experts,
How to change the name of the folder in KM server.
For ex : I have a Folder called <b>Trail</b> Now i wnat to change the folder name in Training ....I have tried with right click and all......
Can anyone pls throw some light on this issue........
Thanks in Advance,
Dharani

Hello Dharani,
Changing the name of a folder at the root level of KM (the name of a repository) is very different than changing the name of a folder within a repository. To change the name of a repository, Ravinder's previous post explains the steps to take. However, a repository is typically something that a normal end user wouldn't be able to create, so I'm assuming this won't come up much.
To change the name of a folder within a repository, you can simply select 'Rename' from the context menu of the folder. Do you see this option when clicking on the context menu? If the user created the folder, they should have the permissions needed to see this option.
Please let me know if I've misunderstood your question. Hope this helps.
Best regards,
Fallon

How to rename the Target filename.

Hi...
I n file to file sceanrio, i need to rename the existing target file name...
I have searched in SDN. i have found like we can achive it by batch program.
can you please help how to do this...?
Regards,
Leela

> We need to chjeck the target directory and filename is present or not.Then we need to rename the target filename with the loctaion.
Do you mean there will be always only one file at any time?
You have to write the UDF for Dynamic Configuration in order to rename the file with your location.
UDF Code
You have to pass you location name to this UDF in your mapping.
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container.getTransformationParameters()
.get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File","FileName");
String SourceFileName = location;
conf.put(key, SourceFileName);
return "";
Note: You have to set the ASMA settings under Advanced Tab in both the adapters.
Now you second requirement is to first check if target directory and filename is present or not.
So this UDF has no control to check if file is present or not. The UDF will always write the filename with location.
Probably to perform this check before writing the file name you can try with
"Run operationg system command before message processing", otherwise you may have to write an adapter module for this.

How to RENAME the file in UNIX-Appl. server, after READING it?

Hi Experts,
Following is my requirement,
What we are wanting here is the functionality added to this program that once the UNIX file is processed, that it can be closed and then renamed on the Application server with the yyyymmdd extension. For example, the program reads and processes the My_file.csv file today. Once it's finished, it then closes the file and renames it as My_file20080610.csv. By doing this, it will prevent the same file from being run the next day in case the new file is not sent.
So, pls. let me know that, How to RENAME is file in the UNIX - Appl. server, after reading it? obviuosly I closes it at the end.
thanq

Hi Srinivas,
You can create a My_file20080610.csv. Write the content from My_file.csv into My_file20080610.csv. Then using DELETE DATASET delete the file My_file.csv.
Thanks

How to rename the emptybpelprocess

Hi Guys,
I have ReadFile Empty template process ( not synch or asynchronous process) it is working fine but , i want to change the file name.
Please any one can provide solution.
Regards
Janardhan

There are 2 approaches I have used to rename a process:
1) A very useful blog entry for how to Change A BPEL process name after it has been created can be found at: http://oraclesoa.blogspot.com/2008/05/copy-bpel-project-with-different-name.html
This uses custom ANT Tasks to rename the project including process name, namespaces etc
2) An alternative an more manual approach is to use jDevelopers templates. Mark your process as a Template using jDeveloper, give it a name. Then create a new process based on this template. This will create a new process with all the code from the previous one. To tidy up the project you may want to search and replace for namespaces with the .bpel and .wsdl files to match the new process name (if the defaukt were used)
Hope this proves useful
