Is it possible to rename an ASM folder?

i want to rename an ASM folder containing my database:
+DBDNL2_G2_DATA_AREA/EVJA/DATAFILE
to
+DBDNL2_G2_DATA_AREA/DITOC/DATAFILE
I do not want any file movement or file copying, just rename the folder and afterwards I rename the datafiles of the database. is this possible?
Regards,
Tim

You can't. This folder is the name of Your database and it's a part Oracle Managed Files hieararchy.
You can make directory DITOC and then make aliases to Your db files.

Is it possible to rename an ASM alias?

I want to rename my db from dw1 to dw so I also want to rename the ASM alias for the files.
mvalias or rename alias isn't an option. Any ideas?
asmcmd>help
commands:
cd
du
find
help
ls
lsct
lsdg
mkalias
mkdir
pwd
rm
rmalias

PROBLEM!
From the docs: RENAME DIRECTORY Use this clause to change the name of a directory for hierarchically named aliases. This clause is not valid for renaming directories created as part of a system alias. Such directories are labeled with the value Y in the SYSTEM_CREATED column of the V$ASM_ALIAS dynamic performance view.
SQL> select alias_directory,system_created from v$asm_alias where name = 'DW1';
ALI SYS
Y Y
So, if I change my database name, how do I change the ASM alias?

HT1428 How do I revert settings from renaming the home folder?

*PREFACE* I've read plenty of articles today on why NOT to attempt to rename the home folder.. This was done mistakenly by a friend attempting to help with my wifes macbook air.
While they were able to rename the home folder, upon reboot, all system settings are gone, and she cannot access anything on the macbook air. Basically I need any help on how to go about restoring her air to the point before this incident occured, if that's possible (and I REALLY hope it is!!). We only had one user profile on the air, it was hers and is an admin account. When I try to access files on the HD now I get access denied messages. Based on what I've read, I thought if I could get to system preferences I could attempt to rename it back to the original name, reboot, and things would revert back, but when I click on system preferences, it bounces up, and then the light under it goes out.
I own a time machine, and I have plenty of backup data there, I'm curious though of two things. 1st, how exactly do I go about this process, and 2nd, if I restore it, is it going to restore everything back to how it was before the rename happened, or would I have to do something else?
On a scale of 1-5 in terms of knowledge, I'm about a 3. I'm faily new to Mac computing, but I own several other Mac products. I haven't had to replace my current PC laptop (yet, but its days are VERY numbered), but intend to go Mac from that point on. I hope all of this gives someone smarter than me enough information on what my situation is and hopefully how to solve it! Thanks!!

Problem solved, time capsule worked!

Can't Use Batch Rename "Rename In Same Folder" for some photos

Have a strange problem: when using "Batch Rename…" under the "Tools" menu, "Rename In Same Folder" is unusable for some photos taken with some cameras, not for others. For one example, I shift-selected a range of photos taken at a recent vacation, some with my iPhone, some with my girlfriend's Canon PowerShot SD450. Bridge renamed the iPhone photos, but not Canon photos. For another example, if I select a single photo taken by her cell phone or Canon camera, "Rename In Same Folder" is grayed-out; if I select a single photo taken my by iPhone, not so. Does anyone understand this behavior, and is there a solution?

Bridge Support Center in the help menu leads to a 404 error page.
Sadly enough this is also on my system (Mac OSX 10.6.8) It should not be showing 404 but it is there...
What Bridge help files and links, forums, communities, google searches do not do is tell you how to fix what happens with the problem
In general restarting Bridge holding down option key (in your case alt key) to choose reset preferences solves most problems.
Here is a page from Adobe Support about Troubleshooting (although this states you should combine option/alt with cmd/ctrl but that is not needed)
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/317/317912.html
I want to use Bridge batch rename to change jpegs into Mac PC compatible jpegs.
Although I have the option for compatibility with Unix and Windows checked in my customized presets I'm not really aware of the need for that. If you have a .JPG or .jpg extension as the extension a Mac reeds and opens the file without problems. I am aware that as a Mac user I had the need to take care of Windows files in the past. Before OSX a Mac did not need an extension to recognize and open a file. Since OSX is Unix based the need to use an extension is there and also you should only use one dot (.) in the filename and that is before the extension at the end of the filename. Using spaces, commas etc is possible but not prefered. In basic, keep it simple (and short) and the file will open on all systems without problems.
When you select a preset, the rename and preview buttons grey out. So I start all over...clear cache, check file permissions, restart/shutdown, etc
That should not happen, presets and batch rename should be always available, even if you have only one file selected. You should start with the refreshing of the preferences. Deleting caches and checking file permissions are not needed every time for clearing prefs (although it is wise to maintain your system on a regular basis, but that is good for the use of all apps).
On a Mac the user defined Batch Rename settings are saved in the user library / application support / Adobe/ Bridge CS5 / Batch rename setting. (not a single clue how that translate to windows but I have no reason to believe that such a file should not be present on your system.)
Enter the term "batch rename" in the windows Bridge forum search and I got....ZERO results.
Well, again a disappointment, there will be many result available in both Windows and Mac forum but it sure is not easy to find them
The forum search option is next to useless. I believe you should try to switch to the main forum page or something, I once had a result but after so many tries I forgot how I managed this (combined with getting angrier every try...)
I could really use some help because there is no way I can convert the number of files I have to make them compatible in MACs
As stated before, if the are .jpg they are already compatible
it used to be in CS 3 and 4 but since I "upgraded" to Production Premium suite 5.5 none of the version work.
If you keep having problems you might consider the clean tool option to clear PSCS 3 and 4. Check also this KB article:
http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html
It should be possible to use all CS versions on your system but you can have only one version of Bridge active at the time. Upgrading from a single CS to a Suite should also be possible without problems but sadly enough everything that should be possible without problems is often only happening in the ideal world...

Possible to rename DC in DTR?

Hi,
Is it possible to rename an already created Web Dynpro DC which is created in DTR?
Thanks in advance!
Robin

Hi Robin,
Just create on empty DC and copy the
web dynpro component from your previous DC.
you need to recreate model.
It will ask you to add files into DTR. say yes and your DC will be copied.
copying a model folders and wdmodelclassed from SRC folder will help you in copying model. but advisable is recreate model.

Rename the WIP folder

Is it possible to rename the Work In Progress folder globally? The Hungarian translation of this folder is called "Folyamatban", but there is a better translation called "Piszkozatok". I know, that there is no option in the client to rename, maybe this is hard coded in the client.
TIA,
Gellert

Hi Gellert, I will forward this info to Novell and hopefully it will be updated in a newer build of the GW client.
I don't believe it's possible to change it manually.

Can I rename the Home folder

I recently had my 15" MacBook Pro serviced because of a hard drive failure. It required that the operating system (OSX 10.7.3) be reinstalled. The reinstall was handled by the Best Buy Geek Squad store where I originally purchased the Mac. They named my home folder using only my first name in lower case letters. I would prefer my full name like my previous install. DoI understand correctly that it is NOT possible to rename this folder? Would I have to reinstall Lion and wipe all the data to do this? Or is there a simple way to rename the folder.
Thanks in advance,
Anthony

Depending on whether your files are in that account or not, create a new one or open the Users & Groups pane of System Preferences, unlock it, control-click your account, choose Advanced Options, and change it.

I renamed my home folder :( can't get it back to normal

hi, i know there are about a billion topics in this forum about this same thing, but i still cannot get everything back to normal despite reading a lot of them.
a couple of weeks ago i renamed my home folder, which created a whole new set of preferences.
i've done some things since then, but i can't remember every step i've taken so bare with me! maybe you clever people can figure out what i've missed out/done wrong.
i remember that in the users folder i renamed the new (incorrect) folder to Stephen_new, and changed the old (correct) one to Stephen. - this was as instructed to by http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107854.
I also copied the whole library folder from the home > Stephen > library to the home > library folder, as instructed on step 3 on this website http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/renamehomerecovery.html (i presumed by 'home > library > library they meant home > Stephen > library). This gave me back my bookmarks and stuff.
however, in the home folder there was only library and desktop. now, when i add something to a folder (say movies) through mac hd > users > stephen > movies (or the shortcut on the left of finder) it creates a new movies folder in the home directory, and copies the file there too. i.e. the file is in 2 places.
also on the left of finder the icons for movies etc. have all gone back to blue folder icons.
so basically the problem is before if i wanted to go to documents it would be right in my home folder, but now i have to go mac hd > users > Stephen > documents to get there, or i could make a shortcut on the left of finder.
i'm not sure how to tell which users folder i'm actually using, Stephen or Stephen_new. I'm guessing it's Stephen as new files seem to save there.
i would guess that i need to change my users folder to the name of my home folder icon, but you can't have 2 things the same name in the same folder.
i created a topic at appleinsider.com's forums, which no one replied to. maybe some of the info there could help you figure it out
http://forums.appleinsider.com/showthread.php?t=71584
thank you very much for any help you can give me. if anything is unclear please ask me to explain further.
ibook g4 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

hello again,
i didn't really dare to delete the blue home folders before, just in case everything went wrong, but now i think i have so little space that i can't afford to lose 2.25gb!
one thing that slightly worries me is the fact that the 'proper' library folder (in the home icon) is 2.09gb, whereas the 'wrong' one (from the blue folder forenamesurname) is 2.24gb - this is the one i would be deleting. just seems odd to delete a larger file than the one i presume i'm using.
"Move everything you want to keep out of the blue folders, and then place both of the folders on your desktop. If everything works properly after a few days, delete both folders. If you are asked for your administrator password at any point or if either folder is copied instead of moved when dragged, don't delete that folder."
by 'everything you want to keep', does this include the library folder? 'cause there doesn't seem to be much else, and i'm not sure if deleting the library folder would ruin all my preferences.
i've put both of the folders on the desktop, it didn't ask for the admin password or try to copy them, so i guess that's good news. what kind of things should i be looking out for to act differently?
are the folders not in use now that they are on the desktop?
also if i put them in the trash will they have no effect? i.e. the same as permanently deleting them, so i could put them in the trash as a test.
cheers, stephen.

Renaming a file / folder

hi all,
how to rename a file/folder automatically when executing java program application.. and also that renamed file should not be editable like delete,open,copy,rename manually in the specified location where the folder is.
i have used renameTo method but the folder is still editable.
plz suggest this,

You need to set the permissions on the file.
In pure java you can set the read and write permissions using File but for OS specific permission you need to run the approriate command line program to set your permissions.

How to rename a new folder in the project library in FCPX

How do I rename a new folder in the project library in FCPX?
Thanks

Hi
Why not ask in FinalCut Pro X forum.
My guess is as in iMovie'11 - point at it and ctrl-click on it - may be there is a re-name function in this menu.
Why they didn't name it iMovie Pro X is beyond me.

Possible to rename popup strings upon changing `Chapter` field in `Composition Marker` dialog?

Hi There,
I am in need to dynamically change the values inside a popup upon a user changing the value of the `Chapter` field within the `Composition Marker` dialog. I realize that we cannot add new string values to a popup at runtime, but I read a thread in this forum, and in the `Supervisor` example in the SDK, that it is possible to rename them. However, it seems like the event for making the changes to those values is triggered by a user changing values in the parameter set of the plugin itself.
So my idea is to populate a popup param with 20 strings--for example, 1, 2, 3, . . . 20. Then when a user enters in a string within the `Chapter` field in a `Composition Marker` dialog, it updates the popup list to show the user entered string. Is this possible? I know I can access the string in the `Chapter` field via javascript ExtendScript. Can I do it within C++ code?
Thanks for your time and help!

to get the marker string you should use AEGP_GetMarkerString() with AEGP_MarkerString_CHAPTER. as for changing the popup values, by looking at the thread you pointed out, it seems it's possible to change the popup names at any time, and not during a specific code. the entire accessing of the popup data in that example was done using AEGP calls, which should not be affected by the calling time. (except for rare cases) never tried it myself. can vouch for my advice here. since popup param's amount of entries can't be changed dynamically (to the best of my knowledge), you can create 30 (or any other number) of hidden popup params, starting with 1 entry and ending with 30 entries in it, and make only the param that fits your purposes best at that moment - visible.

Is it possible to lock an invididual folder?

Despite the advances of Mac OSX it still does not seem possible to completely lock a Folder independently of other folders, or am I completely mistaken?
I have in the past done <command i> and tried to fiddle around with Permissions/Read Write etc but what I would ideally like to do is securely protect a single folder by password.
This means that I can walk away from my desk for a few minutes without logging out confident that no one can access the most sensitive folders.
Is this not a simple desirable basic feature and is it at all possible?
cheers in advance
M S

I think your best choice would be to create an encrypted folder and just keep your sensitive documents there.
http://www.macworld.com/article/53658/2006/10/decmobilemac.html
A couple of caveats... do not click on "Save Password" or else the password will be supplied automatically. 256-bit encryption is now available.

Is it possible to make a shared folder between profiles?

Hi,
My e-mail is a mess with personal and work e-mail and urgent and unimportant email mixed and I am losing a lot of productivity trying to manage the onslaught. I would like to be able to create a new profile for only important work e-mail.
I'm wondering - Is there a way to share only selected items between profiles? I was thinking if it were possible to create a "shared" folder that syncs when I close one profile, I could put the urgent items in there once every couple days when I check the "catch all" profile and then only deal with those in the "important work" profile. Is something like this possible?
Thanks!
Michael

One easy way to share material between accounts, or profiles, is to set up an IMAP-connected account solely for this purpose. You can drag-and-drop into it and from it.
Another approach is nearer to your query.
At '''[http://kb.mozillazine.org/Menu_differences_in_Windows,_Linux,_and_Mac Tools|Account Settings]|Local Folders|Account Settings→Local Directory''' you can set what folder the Local Folders pseudo account uses. You could set this to the same folder in both profiles.
Be aware that this folder, if outside of the usual Profile folder, won't be automatically included in profile backup and moving operations; you need to remember what you've done and account for it.
I'd place this folder alongside your other profiles to give it a fighting chance of being remembered. ;-)
