Locks file on a file server

Under Captivate 3 (as part of the full Tech. Comm. Suite),
I'm authoring Captivate presentations on a Windows XP PC, and
storing archive copies of the resultant .cp and stand-alone .exe
files on a file server. These server copies are never opened/edited
directly by the application - all editing is done against the local
PC files, and regular Windows operations are used to copy the files
off to the server.
About 95% of the time, any attempt to delete, move to another
folder, or rename a server side .cp file fails, when attempted from
a PC with Captivate installed. This happens after a long delay
(10-20 seconds). The message is that the file is locked by another
person or program, please close it and try again. Common tools that
attempt to "punch-through" such locks report the file as "not
locked", but still fail. A Captivate authored .exe (sporting the CP
icon) also induces the same delay, but ultimately can be touched.
Non-CP files in the same directory show no delay whatsoever. A
non-Captivate PC can freely alter these server files, without
experiencing locks nor delays. Cold-booting the workstation and
attempting the file server operations before starting any Captivate
sessions does not alleviate the problem.
Any ideas what gives? Are there Adobe background processes
that are holding locks, even when the foreground application is
shut down - such as some sort of Adobe file indexer?

This questions or other questions on similar line shave been asked before.
Instead of repeating something too overlay, I would simply point you to http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/api/java/io/Writer.html#lock

File Lock - How to lock and unlock a file ? Can we do that for an FTP File?

Hi All,
I like to retrieve a file from the FTP server using Apache Commons Net libraries.
for example if the file size is 20MB. When the file is in the progress of copying or transferring from the FTP server i need to lock the local file which is in our local directory so that no other process will use the same local file which is in the process of copying otherwise partially copied files will be used by another process.
the file should be locked when it was in the progress of copying from the server. I have an automatic process which will access file objects at certain time and try to process the files.
I like to know the simplest and easiest way to lock and unlock a file object locally which is trying to copy a file from the FTP server which is of huge size.
And also i like to know how to lock and unlock a file in general?
Thanks,
J.Kathir

we can set it read only only when it complete finishing the writing.
can we able to make the file as read-only while transferring data to file.
How to achieve it ? pls give me some sample code

Unable to open windows database files hosted on Lion Server

I use Mac Mini as a server. With Snow Leopard Server I shared files hosted on Mac Mini and other PC computers on the network could use together Access and Quickbooks files. After upgrading to Lion Server no PC is able to open these database files. E.g. when opening MS Access file hosted on Lion server following error pops up: "too many users acessing the file". However, the Access database can be open from network PC when opening in exclusive (single user) mode. Normal multiuser mode brings error.
Is it possible to solve this Lion sharing issue?

Same problem. Just fired up a new Mini with Lion Server to replace an HP Home Server because we need more than 10 users in our church now. Got all the users set up with group permissions and home directories on the server. Unfortunately I expected Lion Server to work just like Snow Leopard Server and be able to serve up ODBC databases like Access and Quickbooks files.
Anyone heard if Apple has a solution to the "too many users" error message? It appears that Access in particular attempts to open the data file and create a locking file (ldb), but cannot get the file permissions it needs from Lion.
Sorry I have no solution for all yet.

Secure Erase of files stored on file server

Hi there
Not sure if this is the right forum for this, but here goes...
I have client machines set up for 'Secure Empty Trash', but is there a way I can ensure the same erase 'level' of files that are deleted from the file server (running OSX Server 10.5)? Currently when files stored on the server are dragged to the trash a message pops up saying that they will be deleted immediately, but is there any way to set these to be deleted 'securely' like the desktop machines?
Thanks

If your server is sufficiently breached, you're toast.
As for options and considerations...
There's a free-space erasure within Disk Utility. (I'd be paranoid around running any of this stuff near my not-erased data, but that's another discussion.)
There are encrypted partitions, and various software-based encryption schemes.
Removable locked storage can be a possibility here, but that only works if the disk with the sensitive data doesn't eventually end up co-resident on the breached server.
There are encrypting disk drives around. WinMagic was one of the few solutions that tied into full-disk hardware encryption on Mac, though there are potentially others around.
There are outboard hardware controllers, but they're probably out of your price range.
If your server is hacked by a sufficiently determined attacker, then only something like per-file file-based encryption might help, and only if the attacker can't capture the decryption keys for the individual files. Which is why various organizations will partition critical servers physically offline, or will create trusted (sub)networks; configurations entirely disconnected from all other networks.
(There really isn't a good perimeter these days. There are attacks via authorized clients connecting via VPN or web sites that seek to back-connect from clients out through your firewall, or compromised clients on your LAN, or spearfishing, can cause mayhem. All sorts of ugly.)
Security is like insurance. You probably want some of that, and not too little of it and definitely not too much security. And you can spend an infinite amount on it and one sufficiently egregious mistake can still invalidate your whole scheme.
If this is a legal or procedural requirement, I'd suggest discussing this with somebody that knows FIPS-140 or HIPAA or whatever particular requirements you're dealing with here, and security, and Mac OS X.

Sharing pst (outlook) files over OSX lion server

Hi,
I can share every type of files via osx lion server. But if I try to share .pst files (Outlook) files and try to connect from a Windows 7 pc to the share. It doesn't work.
Any idea?
Best Regards,
Christian

I found out that I can open the Access db but only if I choose "open exclusively" in the office file dialog box, meaning that other users on the network won't be able to open the db when I have it open.
So it seems a file lock issue. Anybody having an idea what I could try to change the SMB file lock behaviour on OSX Lion would help me allot.
Thanks

How can I load a .xlsx File into a SQL Server Table using a Foreach Loop Container in SSIS?

I know I've REALLY struggled with this before. I just don't understand why this has to be soooooo difficult.
I can very easily do a straight Data Pump of a .xlsX File into a SQL Server Table using a normal Excel Connection and a normal Excel Source...simply converting Unicode to DT_STR and then using an OLE DB Destination of the SQL Server Table.
If I want to make the SSIS Package a little more flexible by allowing multiple .xlsX spreadsheets to be pumped in by using a Foreach Loop Container, the whole SSIS Package seems to go to hell in a hand basket. I simply do the following...
Put the Data Flow Task within the Foreach Loop Container
Add the Variable Mapping Variable User::FilePath that I defined as a Variable and a string within the FOreach Loop Container
I change the Excel Connection and its Expression to be ExcelFilePath ==> @[User::FilePath]
I then try and change the Excel Source and its Data Access Mode to Table Name or view name variable and provide the Variable Name User::FilePath
And that's when I run into trouble...
Exception from HRESULT: 0xC02020E8
Error at Data Flow Task [Excel Source [56]]:SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR. An OLE DB error has occured. Error code: 0x80004005.
Error at Data Flow Task [Excel Source [56]]: Opening a rowset for "...(the EXACT Path and .xlsx File Name)...". Check that the object exists in the database. (And I know it's there!!!)
I don't understand by adding a Foreach Loop Container to try and make this as efficient as possible has caused such an error unless I'm overlooking something. I have even tried delaying my validations and that doesn't seem to help.
I have looked hard in Google and even YouTube to try and find a solution for this but for the life of me I cannot seem to find anything on pumping a .xlsX file into SQL Server using a Foreach Loop Container.
Can ANYONE please help me out here? I'm at the end of my rope trying to get this to work. I think the last time I was in this quandry, trying to pump a .xlsX File into a SQL Server Table using a Foreach Loop Container in SSIS, I actually wrote a C# Script
to write the contents of the .xlsX File into a .csv File and then Actually used the .csv File to pump the data into a SQL Server Table.
Thanks for your review and am hoping and praying for a reply and solution.

Hi ITBobbyP,
If I understand correctly, you want to load data from multiple sheets in an .xlsx file into a SQL Server table.
If in this scenario, please refer to the following tips:
The Foreach Loop container should be configured as shown below:
Enumerator: Foreach ADO.NET Schema Rowset Enumerator
Connection String: The OLE DB Connection String for the excel file.
Schema: Tables.
In the Variable Mapping, map the variable to Sheet_Name, and change the Index from 0 to 2.
The connection string for Excel Connection Manager is the original one, we needn’t make any change.
Change Table Name or View name to the variable Sheet_Name.
If you want to load data from multiple sheets in multiple .xlsx files into a SQL Server table, please refer to following thread:

To generate file at AL11 file directory use File adapter. Proxy is not required for this
Its giving the error as "Unable to create new pooled resource:FTPEx:Login incorrect".
1. Check with the Login credentials for the FTP service.
2. FTP User you use in communication channel must have 777 access to FTP location.

Error:Unable to reserve .lok file for Integrated WLS server (DefaultServer)

Hi,
I am having jdev 11.1.1.1.0.
Many times I get following error while running my application pages:
Unable to reserve the .lok file for Integrated WLS server (DefaultServer). Typically this is because another instance of this server is already running in the WLS domain.
The only way out is to close jdev, delete system11.1.1.1.33.54.07 folder and open jdev again.
Why is this error dialog shown? Is there any permanent solution?
TIA

Thanks for quick reply!

Automatically updating files on local testing Server

I'm using EasyPHP-5.3.5.0 as a testing server on my local machine (I've use EasyPHP for several years). I set up the Site Definition in DW8 using the testing server root folder (www) as the development area; however, this caused problems when I attempted to upload from within DW to the Remote (production) server. I then modified the Site Definition to use a local folder. other then the Testing Server folder, for development which solved the upload problem. Then in the Site Definition I setup the Testing Server using the "PHP MySQL" model with "Local/Network" access. The Testing Server folder was set to "C:\Program Files\EasyPHP-5.3.5.0\" and the "Refresh Testing file list automatically" box was checked. The URL prefex was set to "http://127.0.0.1:8888/" as defined in the EasyPHP instructions. My problem is that Dreamweaver is not updating the files on the testing server when I save a file in the development folder. The development folder and the Testing Server reside on the same computer. If I copy and paste a file to the testing server everything works fine. I would like the testing server files to be automatically updated when I save a file in the development folder which is what the Site Definition seems to indicate should happen. Any thoughts on what the problem is and how to fix it would be appreciated.

Lost option to upload related files when using testing server.

I used to get a dialogue box when I was previewing files on my local machine using my localhost testing server setup. It was kind of annoying having to click yes every time. Last week I accidentally clicked the don't show this anymore box and now when I preview a site on my localhost related files and updated files are not uploaded. I have to manually upload the css, php, and any other related files to the testing server's folder.
I tried deleting preferences, re-installing Dreamweaver CS4, and everything else I can think of but I can't get this option back. Is there some way, other than using the same folder for the testing server and the site to avoid this problem?
Thanks.

Hi Rio,
I faced similar kind of issue working with files on UNIX platform.
The line is a line feed to remove it use

SWF to play mp3 files located on the server

Hello,
Does anyone know if it is possible to create an SWF file that can play mp3 files directly from the server, without the need for a streaming media server or external JS.
And also for the application to read the current directory its located in and build a playlist based on the files inside.
any information of examples would be greatly appreciated.
Peter.

As for loading and playing the files there is no issue. Simply load them as you would load any file. You can even use a relative path if they are in the same folder as the SWF, or a sub-folder that is in the folder with the SWF.
As for looking at the server directory for what files are there, and using them - I know of no way to do this. That doesn't mean it is impossible, just that I haven't come across a method in my experience.
What I typically do is to archive the list of files in an XML file, and load the XML. I know, that adds an extra step, and an extra file, but it is the easiest method for approximating what you want to do.
Let me edit this response.
You could use javascript, or a server language to grab the list of files in the directory and pass it into Flash via the ExternalInterface classes.

Loading flat files located on a server using the Control Center piece ofOWB

Loading flat files from a server with OWB
I am successful loading files with OWB, as long as they resided on my workstation in the C:\ drive. I copied the files to a Linux server into directories owned by Oracle/oinstall, permissions on the directories containing the files are 777. I ran the OWB client from the server with the following results:
Error

I tried to load the file using the control center from both the windows client and the server client. Can I do this from either one?
I can't import the file in the Design Center from the /u00/data/owb_repos1 directory, it does not show up.
If anyone has received similiar errors from OWB, please tell me how I can fix this. THANKS!!!

Hi
This is what i do for my flat files (i am loading my tables from the flat files):
1) Create location for the files in OWB and it should look something like \\path_to_where_the_files_are. Here you should be able to browse to your Linux box and select the location of the files.
2) Then check whatever you use (i use TOAD) and you should see in owb schema a directory created there which points to the location of the flat file.
3) then just follow the guide to sample the files etc and you are good to go.
Basically OWB has to be able to see the files that are on Linux machine.
Alternatively you can map your Linux share to your windows box (use samba or something) and use it that way.
Sorry if it is stating the obvious.
Hope this helps
Kind Regards
Vix
