How to retrieve blob file

i am having a problem retrieving my blob file(PDF) to display on browser.
i have this code below:
$filename = $row['FILENAME'];
// Call the load() method to get the contents of the LOB
print $row['BINFILE']->load()."\n";
header('Content-type:application/pdf');
//header("Cache-Control: private",false); // required for certain browsers
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="'.$filename.'"');
readfile($filename);
echo $row['BINFILE'];
this will display some characters when opened at mozilla. when opened on IE, this doesn't display pdf on the browser instead it will only allow to save the file.
hope anyone can give me some advice n some assistance on this.
thanks

Connect the iPod to your PC. If iTunes starts syncing (ie erasing) your music automatically, hit the X in the upper right hand corner of iTunes display, to the left of the search box, to stop it.
In Control Panel, Portable Media Devices, double-click your iPod.
In the Tools menu -> Options, in the View Tab, check "Show hidden files and folders."
Navigate to the Music folder. On my 'pod, the full path is
Portable Media Devices\NAME of IPOD (F:)\iPod_Control\Music
Select all the music folders, and drag and drop them into a folder on your hard drive, or directly into iTunes.
And you're done! The iPod music folder structure is strange and inexplicable, but once you move your files into iTunes you can set it to automatically organize your folder by artist and album to clean that up. (To do this, in iTunes Edit menu, choose Preferences and in the Advanced tab, check "Keep iTunes Music Folder organized."

Hi Amit,
you can not move specific changes from Dev to production.
but you can follow this process to make your workflow as it is as in Dev:
Create a new workflow on the new list in Product.
Create at least one step, one condition and one action in this workflow.
1. In Dev server open your .xomal file as XML and copy the entire contents.
2.In Production server Open your .xoml file as XML and Paste the entire contents
3. repeat this operation for the xoml.rules file
4.Double click the .xoml file for the new workflow to open the workflow in the Workflow Designer and click Check Workflow to verify no errors and then click Finish to ensure the workflow is saved.
Whenever you need to make changes apply the same.
Please Mark Answer and Vote me if it will to resolve your issue

This is het part of the code used to extract the files.
void getBinaryFileAttachment(String FileName,ResultSet rs) throws IOException, FileNotFoundException, SQLException
          //Array to hold array of file bytes
          byte[] fileBytes; //an array of bytes
          byte buf[] = rs.getBytes(1);
          System.out.println(buf);
          String ext = "";
          OutputStream targetFile;
          //Create and write the tempfile
          OutputStream tempFile= new FileOutputStream("Temp.dat");
            tempFile.write(buf);
          tempFile.close();
          File f = new File("Temp.dat");
          FileReader fr = new FileReader(f);
          BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(fr);
          String meta = br.readLine();
          if(meta.indexOf(".pdf") != -1)
               System.out.println("PDF File detected");
               ext = ".pdf";
          else
          if(meta.indexOf("Word.Document.8") != -1)
               System.out.println("Doc File detected");
               ext = ".doc";
          else
               ext = ".txt";
          fileBytes = rs.getBytes(1); //create a byte array from contents of field
          targetFile = new FileOutputStream(FileName+ext); // define the output stream
          targetFile.write(buf); //write the array of bytes to file
          targetFile.close(); //close the File stream
     }

Documents saved through the OEL container type in Client Server are saved as serialised objects in the database - e.g. the thing the DB is not a binary copy of the document on disk, but a memory representation.
WebUtil on the other hand - saves any file to the DB as a binary copy of the O/S file and likewise any file it pulls out will be an exact copy of what is in the DB.
In the case of using WebUtil to pull out a document that was saved through an OLE container this will not work because the file on disk that WebUtil produces will not be the same as the source document.
At some point we'll be writing a utility to de-serialise the OLE document that is Stored by OLE containers in a blob to restore them to file form on disk.
You can of course do this manually by writing a Form (in 6i client server) which queries the blob into an OLE container and then uses OLE to call the Save method of the OLE server to pull the document onto disk.

How to retrieve deleted files in Trash Empty Securely?

I might have accidentally deleted a folder with many files in my Trash Bin > Empty Securely.
I haven't used my Time Machine or Backed Up on iCloud?
Is there any hope of retrieving the files?

FWIW. In the future always have current backups before you erase a drive or start deleting a lot of files. In fact you should always maintain backups, and more than one. This would have prevented your frustration.

How to retrieve attachment file

I am trying to create a program that will retrieve an Attachment that a candidate has uploaded into the eRecruitment system. Infotype HRP5134 has a pointer to the attachment, but where is the attachment stored? Is there a method, function module or BAPI that can retrieve the attachment?
I want to retrieve the file and get the size of the file.

Hi Subbu,
It is not stored in Archive. I got the solution. I just want to share with u. Actually i wanted the size of the documents. I came out with the solution in 2 steps.
1 step. : I retreived all the attached document through function module HRRCF_MDL_CAND_ATT_RETRIEVE (suggested by u).
2 step : i took the URL and used the function module SCMS_HTTP_GET_WITH_URL. this gave me the size of the document in bytes. (thats what i wanted)
Thank you very much for your efforts

How to retrieve xml file from BLOB and display on browser with css/xslt

Hi All,
I am new to xml. I am storing my xml file into BLOB in database. Now in my jsp page I want to retrieve this xml file from BLOB and display in HTML/CSS/XSLT form...
Pl. guide me.. any docs..?? Logic...??
Thanks in Advance.
Sandeep Oza

Hello Sandeep!
I'm not familiar with jsp but logic should be as follows:
-in jsp page instantiate XML parser
-load specified BLOB into parser
Now you may traverse the XML tree or you might load XSL file and use transform method to transform XML according to XSL file.
I have an example where I'm selecting XML straight from relational database and then transform it using XSL into appropriate HTML output, but it's written in PSP.
You can try http://www.w3schools.com/default.asp for basics on XML, CSS, XSL. It's easy to follow with good examples.

ADF How to Download BLOB File from Database Column

Hi,
We have one blob Database Column in which we use for storing attachments(eg Image,.doc or.zip) . We are able to upload attachments.
How can I build page which will access that particular record and will be able to download attachment in it.
It should prompt to Save and then we can save it on Local machine.
Thanks,
Jit

Sorry, I don't get your question.
If you have a file name including the suffix like 'Test.file.doc' you can pass this file name as parameter to the method and get the MIME type back. I your sample it would be "application/msword"
String mime = ContentTypes.get("Test.file.doc");
public class ContentTypes
    public static String get(String fileName)
        String mime = null;
        String ext = fileName.toLowerCase();
        if (ext.endsWith(".pdf"))
            mime = "application/pdf";
        else if (ext.endsWith(".doc"))
            mime = "application/msword";
        else if (ext.endsWith(".xls"))
            mime = "application/msexcel";
        else if (ext.endsWith(".docx"))
            mime = "application/msword2007";
        else if (ext.endsWith(".xlsx"))
            mime = "application/msexcel2007";
        else if (ext.endsWith(".ppt"))
            mime = "application/vnd.ms-powerpoint";
        else if (ext.endsWith(".rar"))
            mime = "application/octet-stream";
        else if (ext.endsWith(".zip"))
            mime = "application/zip";
        else if (ext.endsWith(".jpg"))
            mime = "image/jpeg";
        else if (ext.endsWith(".jpeg"))
            mime = "image/jpeg";
        else if (ext.endsWith(".gif"))
            mime = "image/gif";
        else if (ext.endsWith(".png"))
            mime = "image/png";
        return mime;

How to retrieve License file

Hi Everyone,
How do I retrieve my license file? The PAK was previously registered and we reformat the server and need a fresh installation but I don't know where to locate the license file.
Thanks a lot.

when you have previously registered the PAK an email was send to the mail address that was given in the form that you had to fill-in while doing the registration. That means you shoud have received an email with the license file attached. This file can be re-used on the fresh installation.
If you do not have this file anymore, you can write a mail to licensingcisco.com with the PAK and your issue. If you even have the PO number (Product Order number) it should be easy...
Installing the license can be done while installing LMS or later when you go to Common Services > Server > Admin > Licensing

How to retrieve damaged files

I had recently deleted all songs synced with my iPod from my itunes library.
Intending to add a song to the iPod, I connected it to my computer. The iPod started syncing and since there were no more songs in the itunes library except the one I intended to add, itunes was about to delete all the music files in my iPod. So, I disconnected the device. But about half of all the songs in my iPod could no longer be played. Disconnecting the device in the process of syncing seems to have been the cause of this.
How do I undo this OR How do I make them playable again? I really don't want to lose those songs. Any suggestions?

You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
iPod recovery software to restore lost music files
