HUNDREDS of .LCK files

Hundreds of .LCK files are appearing on our server - most of
them with Hidden file attribute set. The CPS log shows all these
entries, typically by a single user, at a very specific date and
time - seems to be when the user is trying to publish a file.
Anyone know what is causing this? I can search/delete them in the
file system, but I want to know the cause.
Also, other symptoms we are experiencing are "Access Denied"
and "Contact System Admin" when other users try to publish. Also, a
".new" is appended to the filename when this error occurs. Only way
to fix this is to rename the file in the file system.
I have a mixture of Contribute 3.11, Contribute 4.0 and
Dreamweaver 8 users. I have CPS version 1.1.
Any suggestions/help is greatly appreciated!!!!

I'm not sure I have an answer for you on this, but I assume
you know that the LCK files are how Contribute locks the actual
files on the server to prevent 2 folks from editing the same page
simultaneously. That being said, the LCK system kicks into gear
when, at least for us, the administrator (who is in DW MX) has
enabled the "Check In-Check Out" functionality for the site. The
administrator gets messages in Contribute when a page is "locked"
by a page author (meaning they are currently editing the page, have
clicked "Save For Later", have clicked "Send for Review" or have
exited Contribute without "disposing" of their draft in one of the
above methods). Make sure folks are either publishing their drafts
or "disposing" of them in one of these ways so that the locking is
not occuring accidentally.
Aside from that, the LCK's are normal and go away when a page
is published. It's possible that you may have enabled the approval
system "Send for Review" and this is starting to tie things up (you
should probably have a lot of concurrent emails being sent as well
in this case).
As to the other errors you're getting, sometimes we get those
too, and yet we are able to just close the error box and things go
as intended. Other times not, and I think the whole thing is
related to how much traffic the CPS server is handling...we tend to
get more errors when things are really busy.
Again, not sure if this was helpful, but maybe just some
things to consider!

Search Remote Files... or ...How Do I Delete All of My LCK Files?

hey everyone.
i need to delete a bunch of .LCK files from my server so
Dreamweaver
will stop telling me someone else has stuff checked-out and
that i need
to enable blah blah blah. i can't just check everything in
because A.
that would take forever and B. the "person" who has them
checked out is
actually me, from a previous site definition that is now gone
because i
had to recreate it.
unless i'm missing something (and i've been spending some
time looking
for it), there doesn't seem to be a way in Dreamweaver (at
least in
version 8, which is what i have) to search for files on the
remote view.
and even if there was, it doesn't look like the remote view
displays
hidden files, i.e. .LCK files.
my server control panel does give me the option to search for
files
using the file manager, but it only searches the folder you
have
selected, and no sub-folders. there are hundreds, maybe
thousands of
folders on this thing, and it would really take a long time
to click on
each and every folder, search for the .lck files, and then
delete them.
so, my question is, what would be the best/easiest way to
find and
delete .lck files (or really, any file for that matter) on
the remote
server?
thanks!

i do NOT want check-in/check-out enabled. i'm trying to get
rid of it
altogether, but i tried selecting the checked out files to
check them
back in, and it said there were none.
there is no "unlock" option, so i guess i need to pick check
in. but
here's my question, since it's this other instance of "me"
that has them
checked out, will this work? it's not recognizing me or my
computer or
whatever as the person who has them checked out. i think it's
because i
had to recreate my site definition about a week ago or so,
and i deleted
the old one. so it's like a user that no longer exists has
them checked out.

HOW TO IMPORT HUNDREDS OF TEXT FILE TO DATABASE AS TABLE

Hi,
I have hundreds of text files in my computer. Every text file includes records. I want to see these records in one table at the database. How can I do that?
thank you very much for help
ömer faruk akyüzlü

I have a standard template that my developers use for reading text files using External Tables . Each developer gets an external table to read in test data. The format the data in CSV format, but you could use others. The External Table points to a generic file name, such as "csv_data". They then just rename the file or create a link to it, depending on the OS.
My solution uses the Directory objects. The following can be put in a script and run passing the first argument as the developers name. It supports a csv file upto 15 columns, but you can expand it.
-- begin script
CREATE OR REPLACE DIRECTORY &1 as '/home/&1';
grant read on directory &1 to public;
alter session set current_schema=&1;
--drop table csv_data;

My Java File gets a .LCK file attached - do not want it there

I have a couple of Java files. When I go to compile them the IDE will not enable the compile option from the drop down list. I found there is a .LCK file in the same directory with the same name as my File..
IE if my file name was Basketballs.java there is a .LCKBasketball.java
When I erase the file from the directory it allows me to compile it but once I compile the file it creates a new .LCK file and the whole problem starts all over again.
What must I do to stop this .LCK file from being produced so my file does not get locked from use.
Or is this a silly virus that somebody put on my computer?

This is a question the should have been asket at the unidentified IDE's website. It does not involve Java.

Hundreds of Identical Files & Folders Show In All Spotlight Searches

Hundreds of Identical Files & Folders Show In All Spotlight Searches
Hi,
I had this issue posted in September and didn't get back to it 'till today so I found it archived. I don't think I got any answers the first time around. When a post is archived, are replies archived also?
Here's the problem:
Spotlight works for me the way it’s designed to work. It finds what I’m looking for if the item is in the computer.
But what are showing up in most of my searches, are long columns of files, all with the same names, sometimes as many as forty or fifty identical items. These files have the same dates and sizes. Some are located in different folders, including Trash, but most are complete duplicates
I do occasionally save as the same document in different places, or make a duplicate/copy to put in more than one location. But I have never created more than a few duplicates. In Spolight, there are hundreds
Any suggestions?

Is there a way to easily batch convert hundreds of video files to h.264, while retaining the original dimensions, metadata, etc.?

I am organizing my library of stock video footage so is easily view (show to clients) and access. I need advice for two things:
First: What is a good program to catalog footage in? I am considering using iTunes because I already have it and I could setup smart folders to easily organize footage.
Second: I would like to encode all the footage to h.264 so I can preview it in Quicktime and add it to an iTunes library. My problem is all the footage is in a wide variety of dimensions, formats, framerates, strange codecs etc. I have access to Adobe Media Encoder and Apple Compressor. Is there a way to easily batch convert hundreds of video files to h.264, while retaining the original dimensions, metadata, etc.?
I have tried using a watch folder in AME but it freezes every time I add the folder...
Thanks for any help!

"including library and music folders) from my computer"
Did you move the entire iTunes folder the hold Option, select Choose library and select the iTunes folder you moved?

LCK files being created with PAK files when processed through ODDC

I'm encountering a problem where after commit of a batch in ODDC the files are transferred to the server, but the PAK files are accompanied by a LCK file that is preventing the Distributed Document Capture service from picking them up and processing them. This started occurring after ODDC Patch 4 (14538424) was applied. I'd blame the patch, but not all users encounter the problem. Users encountering the problem are using Win7 and IE9. That said, users that don't encounter the problem are using the same OS and browser. Has anyone encountered this before? What was the resolution? I suspect it's a browser setting, but haven't identified it yet.
Thanks

I stumbled on a link in the oracle forum which says that the "create or replace package XXX" at the start of the PL/SQL procedure when run seems to intermittently cause the ORA-04068: existing state of packages has been discarded problem.
As per the solution suggested an “alter package XXX compile" can be executed after the changes are made and then we would no longer get the error in BPEL/ESB and dont have to bounce the server too.

However the above solution does not seem to resolve the issue.
Any help in this regard would be highly appreciated.

Over-riding .LCK files on Inherited Website

Is there any way of over-riding .LCK files?
I’ve recently been given access to administer a
department webpage at a university and defined a site on my
computer - but when I accessed the server's directory I found the
.htm files have the .LCK extension. I was able to download the
files but am prevented from uploading any files. The original
webperson has left and no one has any information.
I was checking the archives and see that the .LCK is related
to Dreamweaver's "check-in/check-out" feature which allows tracking
of files when working in groups. But since I'm now become "the
group", how do I over-ride this feature so I can work on the .htm
files?
~CK

Just delete the lck files on the server as I mentioned
before.

.lck files not automatically deleting

We save all of our .fm book and chapter files to a central server, and recently we've noticed that when we close a file the .lck file does not automatically delete. Thus, we are having to manually delete this before updating books, opening files, etc. We're using FM8 on PC's with Win 7 x64. We have FM set to run in XP x32 compatability mode, which is working pretty well for us aside from the aformentioned issue.
Has anybody else run into this? Any ideas on a fix?
Thanks! Scott

Do the lock files actually still exist?
If you're discovering them because FM is complaining on open, then yes they effectively still exist (although possibly only in server FS cache).
But if you're merely seeing them in a file browser, they may or may not be there. Doing a refresh may or may not clear up matters,
Browser currency is a fundamental, and probably intractable, problem in computer science. Many OS'es don't even attempt to keep track of multiple local and remote browsers that presently have a dir open, much less asynchronously force-refresh them when the dir contents change. Windows tries to, with an assortment of performance, nuisance and failure modes.
I blame Bill Gates.
Reboot the server .

Opening iMovie throws hundreds of clip files in trash

When opening iMovie it seems to hang for quite a while. Noticed also it was creating hundreds of clip files into the trash while program is opening. None of these clip files have any video on them and show zero K for file size. Also camera is being recognized and controls operate camera (Canon zr40) but no video comes through - blue screen. Had functioned fine in the past. Know camera is functioning fine and firewire connection is good because I tried it on another Mac. Also camera works fine with iMovie 8. Trashed plist file and did the garageband thing with no luck. (Problems existed before install of iMovie 8). Any ideas as to what is going on?

Patrick - no external drive is hooked up to the computer. Another thing - when it was working fine I only had a single account on the computer. I later set up several accounts for my kids and hadn't had an opportunity to use iMovie until just recently when I found it didn't work. I deleted the accounts in case that had something to do with it but still no change.

.lck files

Hi, there are several .lck files that have been generated
between Dreamweaver and Contribute. Is it safe to delete these
files on the server?
Thanks...

I think that in general, the answer is yes with a caveat. If
a user has
been in the process of updating the file that is locked, I
believe that
all changes previously made and not published will be lost;
but you can
wind up with different versions of the file on the local
machine(s) and
the server.
It has been my experience that this problem occurs when the
user has
been updating the content and screws something up and simply
"x"'s out
rather than Canceling the edit or forgets to check in the
file that has
been checked out.
The best long term solution is for the users to be educated
in the
"check-out", "check-in" and "cancel" functions in DW and
Contribute.

Deleting hundreds of duplicate files in Itune Library

how do I delete HUNDREDS of duplicate files that show up in my ITunes library? I guess I (or my teenagers) keep importing or adding the same files and folders back in somehow, and now I have 5 or 6 files of each song, hundreds in all. I can't delete these individually..... and the 'consolidate' thing seems to want to erase my mp3 library, I don't want that because I have an old Samsung/Napster that uses those. I just need to delete duplicate files in my Itunes library with one click. Any way to do that?

I had the same problem. I found many duplicates on my pc after moving files to an external hard drive. Some duplicates existed before this move but I did not worry about them. So, after a while my children were running out of space on their ipods so I used the "Show Duplicates" feature and deleted "the .....ing duplicates". Now my children tell me a great deal of their purchased music is missing and they are very annoyed. I told them that I thought Apple/iTunes spoke English and that Duplicate means just that, A Duplicate. This is extremely annoying. It seems like such a common sense fubar thing which is contrary to the awesome quality of the itunes/ipod in general. How do I get the songs we already *payed for* back on our computer? Or, are we screwed and in a spot where we must repurchase this music? Honestly, this is something I expect from microsoft, not Apple.

When click to connect to another website I get hundreds of blank files zooming across top of page and have to quit Firefox

When I'm on certain web pages and click on a highlighted word to connect to another website, I suddenly get hundreds of blank file folders rushing across the tabs bar. I have to quit Firefox and restart. If I go back to the same page and click on the highlighted words again, the same thing happens. This event seems to be triggered most often when I'm on a company or organization's home page and I click on the highlighted words which are supposed to let me email them or get further contact info. I've reinstalled Firefox numerous times and each time I think the problem is solved, it shows up again. HELP!

Delete LCK files??

I have a bit of a muddled site at the momnet - heaps of files
checked out
that users didn't bother to check back in. Can I just go to
teh server and
delete all the LCK files to start fresh again??
Any advice appreciated.

If you remove all the LCK files, then you run the risk of
version conflicts with the local drafts. However, if that doesn't
matter and all the edits will be started over from scratch using
the live pages, deleting the lock files shouldn't cause too many
problems.
