International filenames using bash

Hi
Typing umlauts in the terminal is easily done. Using ls -v one can see filenames with international characters. However how does one enable it so that scripts that are run as other users also can recognized filenames that contain international characters?
i'm havin an issue with a perl/cgi script that outputs the bulk of the content in iso-8859-1 encoding but not the filenames..any international characters in filenames come out wrong. I can change the script so that it outputs the filenames in utf-8 encoding but then the rest of the content comes out wrong.
it's possible this is an issue with perl/cgi, however i'm thinking that since my shell doesnt seem to recognize international characters by default that maybe the issue is there.
i have tried setting LC_ALL=utf-8 to no avail.
Hopefully we have some people out there with experience concerning filenames containing international characters and perhaps with suggestions on what, if any, environment variables should be set etc.
Thanks

Hi Thomas,
   The syntax I've seen recommended for setting the LC_ALL environment variable was something along the lines of:
export LCALL=enUS.UTF-8
I assume that your language and local aren't English and the US but I'm sure you can change that to something more appropriate. The syntax for setting the LANG variable is the same I believe.

Using bash as your file manager?

Hello,
My belief is that all file managers suck. There are no exceptions to this. So, for the past few months, I've been sourcing a file with a bunch of tricks I've invented / found through browsing the web to make using just bash as a file manager much more convenient.
Here's what I currently use:
# fm v1.9.1 by Kiah Morante
# A very simple file manager.
# Depends on pycp/pymv, http://github.com/yannicklm/pycp and feh
# 'source' this file in a BASH shell
showHidden=0 # Hidden files not shown
showDetails=0 # ls is replaced with ls -lh if showDetails is 1
shopt -s autocd # cd to a dir just by typing its name
PROMPT_COMMAND='[[ ${__new_wd:=$PWD} != $PWD ]] && list; __new_wd=$PWD' # ls after cding
# Shortcuts
source ~/.config/fm/shortcuts # Call all custom shortcuts
alias ..='cd ..'
alias ...='cd ../..'

Could all of you fellow file manager-haters post your little tricks, whether just a few lines added to ~/.bashrc or fully fledged files that you source like mine?

Actually, I found this to be one of the best advantages of using bash is that it forces a user to think about file organization and making useful naming schemes for files.
For example, instead of having 1000+ media files in one directory I subcategorize theme by genre or whatever, and then probably subcategorize them again.
Then I usually rename the files to something meaningful, like if I have 50 pictures of my kids birthday, just do a for each loop on the directory and rename all the files donovan_birthdayX.jpg where X is an integer incrementation.
essentially. just don't "have files cluttered all throughout you hard drive and folders all over". and your life will be much happier regardless of how you manage your files.

How to use bash within sqlplus?

How to use bash within sqlplus?
meaning I am doing something like this to look for files within a particular directory with some condition.
N=0
for i in $(find . -path \*/waiting/* -type f -not -name "SS*" -mmin +120 -print) ; do
testarray[$N]="$i"
echo "$i"
let "N= $N + 1"
done
Output from above script is as follows:
/d1/d2/d3/d4/waiting/abcd.txt
/d1/d2/d31/d42/waiting/pqrs.txt
/d1/d2/d32/d43/waiting/xyz.txt
And now I want to input this data into database with help of insert.
and here is the little pl/sql block to insert the data with looping thing.
sqlplus $CONNECT <<-EOF
DECLARE
Counter integer :=1;
BEGIN
WHILE Counter <= ${no_of_files} LOOP
INSERT INTO stuck_files(COL_DATE,SER_NAME,TYPE_FILE,FILENAME,FILE_STATUS) VALUES (sysdate,'pqrs','pqrs','pqrs','pqrs');
Counter := Counter + 1;
END LOOP;
END;
commit;
exit;
EOF
Mapping is as follows:
COL_DATE,SER_NAME,TYPE_FILE,FILEFILENAME,FILE_STATUS
sysdate,d3,d4,abcd.txt,waiting
sysdate,d31,d42,pqrs.txt,waiting
sysdate,d32,d3,xyz.txt,waiting
any idea how to do that?

Appending a creation date/time stamp to a filename using MS Command Language

I need to access the creation date and time of an existing file and then append that date/time to the filename using MS command language in a .bat file. The code executes on a Windows server. I'm looking at different options for doing
this. I know it can be done using MS Powershell scripting. Any other suggestions appreciated. Thanks

I tested the answer you supplied here:

Using one public ip for ssh`ing to different internal servers using port-redirections

Hi, we are having a requirement to use the same public IP to ssh into different internal servers using port re-direction. So lets say from outside, if a user does ssh @ root 4.4.4.4 2222, it should go to a sshsrv1 and then ssh @ root 4.4.4.4 2223 to sshsrv2
My config is like this:-
object network sshsrv1
host 10.110.100.10
nat (inside,Outside) static 4.4.4.4 service tcp 22 2222
And then i allowed the object "sshsrv1" in my inbound acl from outside.
It dosen`t seem to work. Is this doeable?
Any suggestions??

Hi,
Would need to see your NAT configurations.
There is a possibility that you have a NAT configuration that might be preventing this from working. Then again you are using an extra public IP address for this so it seems strange.
Could you try the "packet-tracer" command
packet-tracer input outside tcp 12345 2222
This should tell us if there is some problem in the ASA configurations.

Change Filename using XSLT mapping without variable subtitution

Hi,
My scenario is IDOC to file...i am using XSLT mapping, i want to change the filename format to OUT_<Purchase Number>_<DDMMYYYYhhmmss>_KKKK.txt, i cannot use UDF function as i do XSLT mapping i also i cannot use variable substitution as the target structure doesn't have PO and timestamp as tag elements. Can i acheive using writing a adapter module? I appreciate if anyone could help me with this..
Many thanks

Hi,
in both cases you need to enable file adapter specific properties and enable the file name...
for this you need to use the dynamic configuration properties for the same...
usage of this option using udf in message mapping is rather easy than to use in XSLT...for this you dont need to change the structure in the message mapping...message mapping is just needed for execution of the udf.. thats it..

Delete row from internal table using field symbol.

Hi friends,
I created dynamic internal table using field symbol. I want to delete some data using where clause.
for example. i want to use like,
DELETE <FS> WHERE KUNNR = WA_KNA1-KUNNR.
Like the above statment it won't work. How i can use delete with where clause in field symbols.
Hope any one can help me.
Thanks and regards
Srikanth. S

hi Srikanth,
I think you have to LOOP through the whole internal table and check each line and decide to delete or not:
LOOP at <itab> INTO <wa>.
ASSIGN COMPONENT 'KUNNR' OF STRUCTURE <wa> TO <field>.
CHECK <field> IS ASSIGNED.
IF <field> EQ WA_KNA1-KUNNR.
DELETE ...
ENDIF.
UNASSIGN <field>.
ENDLOOP.
hope this helps

Internal table used by sap in a program

Hi,
I want to know the list of internal tables used in a program (including sap program).
while debugging i want to view the data stored in it.
I know the internal tables used by me. Before loading the program sap will load some information into internal table. How to know that.
Advance Thanks.

Internal tables, not transparent ones.
In the old debugger, goto->system areas->internal information and look ITAB_HEADS. This will show you the name of the tables in the system. SYMBDATANM will show you all variables in memory.
In the new debugger, it's even easier. There's a global tab in the variables area, that tells you all variables in memory. And you can see the variable type - i.e. if it is a table.

Final Internal Table used in MIGO Transaction

Hi Experts,
I need to know the final internal table used in the MIGO transaction. Why I want to know this is, I need all the records which are there in the table control (GODYNPRO) of the MIGO transaction. I have used the BADI BADI MB_MIGO_BADI to read the values. But since it is a table control the values are getting changed when the user scrolls down the table control. How can I get all the values shown in this table control. Is there any global internal table in the SAPLMIGO program?
BR.

Hi ABAP,
Check the BADI MB_MIGO_BADI the example class CL_EXM_IM_MB_MIGO_BADI
In attributes tab variable GT_EXTDATA contains all migo positions.
Read the internal table to check items.
in this method the internal table is filled.
Therefore define your internal table in the class attributes.
I hope you help.

Goods Issue Internal Order using MIGO

Dear All,
I want to do Goods Issue Internal Order using MIGO, but then an error message popup says
"Order xxx not found or not permitted for goods movement"
When i do the Goods Issue using MB1A, the transaction run well,
So why MIGO transaction cannot run this transaction?
Any one who can help to resolve this problem?
Regards,
Marufat

Hi,
Go to MB1A, enter Mvt type 261, Plant and S.loc.
Don't click on order tab from the initial screen. This field is for "Production Order" Not for internal order.
Then in the second screen on account assignment data, give your Internal Order number and enter the data and post the document.
Or else, In mIGO, Goods Issue- Others.
Check the configuration for the Order type in transaction code KOT2_OPA.
Order Category should be 01
If order belongs to order category 30,system will not allow to do the direct posting through MB1A.
OR else try to create a reservation for these materials with movement type 261 and then do a goods issue for that reservation.
Hope it will help you
