Monitor files in a folder

Hi...
I am looking for a way to have a text file that tells me when a file is added, deleted or modified in a specific folder.
Some thinks that watch in a specific folder and keeps track of what happend in there, writing a text file.
I try with the folder actions, but no sripts available for this kind of info I need.
anyone has a solution for this.
thanks in advance
regards

Hi
There is nothing out of the box that will do this. You'd need to look at a scripted solution that could enumerate subfolders using the filesystemobject.

I'm trying to write an Applescript: when I add a file to a folder, I want finder to name it "1" and increment the other files in the folder by 1. i.e. once I drop a new file into the folder, the file originally called "1" will be renamed "2" etc

I'm trying to write an Applescript. I have never used Applescript but my boss has just asked me to write a script so I dutifully nodded and said "Yes Boss"...
The funtionality I need is that I want finder to rename the files in folder when I drop a new file in. When I add the new file (file neame: "1") to a folder, I want to increment the other file names in the folder by 1.
So when I drop a my new "1" file into the folder, the file original file called "1" will be renamed "2", the original file named "2" will be renamed "3" etc
I'm creating a 'stream' of images. When I add a new image i want it to nudge the other images in the folder along.
Thanks guys!

Maybe this will help. If you monitor the "More Like This" box (top right), other threads appear. Opening them usually displays other threads.

SAP MDM Adapter not picking up files in Ready folder on MDM

Hello Experts,
We are sending master data from MDM 7.1 system via PI 7.1 system to SAP ECC system. The Sydnication from MDM system is automatic and the files are being syndicated successfully from MDM system and getting dumped in the Ready folder of the port.
But the Sender MDM PI adapter is not picking up the files from the folder.
The communication channel status in Communication channel monitoring is green and 'data control' is Automatically.
However the file is getting picked up if we stop and then start the channel but not automatically.
Please Help!
Thanks,
Suraj

Check if there are locks for the file channel in NWA. If yes, unlock that and your issue should be resolved.
Login to NWA --> Operation Management --> Systems --> Start & Stop --> JAVA EE Services --> check for File Connector, Locking Adapter and XPI Adapter: File.

Monitor file arrival at remote site

i hav been using the file arrival package that oracle supplies. it createsa schedule that monitors file arrivals every 5 mins
if there is a file, it runs a job and also does something with queues
this soln works fine, except that the folder monitored is on the local system.
client now wants the folder that is monitored for file arrivals at a remote site.
can oracle scheduler/file_arrival_package be used to monitor files at the remote site,??
i also need to ftp it to the local drive and then run a job...is there a simpler workaround?

There is no direct Scheduler support in 10g for interacting with a remote system. If there is a database running on the remote system, you can setup file arrival there and then send an AQ message back to the local system notifying the arrival of th file. Otherwise you would have to setup your own file notification mechanism on the remote system to notify the database.
dbms_file_transfer in 10g and up can transfer files between two databases on different machines.

Slow access to DBF files on shared folder in Win7 Prof

Hi,
I've a LAN based on 5 XP workstations and one Win7x64 computer with shared folder. No firewall, no antivirus software on this machine. There are some DBF-files in this folder. DOS application is running on these 5 workstations. This application uses shared
DBF-files. When I useed share folder based on XP-machine application worked normaly, access to these files was well rounded. After changing the "server" the access is never ending. Browsing/reading/writing data is a horror.
Have you any ideas?
Regards.

Hi,
Could you please tell more details regarding this sentence” After changing the "server"
the access is never ending. Browsing/reading/writing data is a horror.”
How does the DOS application work here?
When we configured the application to access the DBF files on Windows 7, have we received any
special errors?
As the application worked well on the Windows XP workstation, might we consider to use process
monitor to compare with the same process on Windows 7?
Troubleshooting

Counting files in a folder and showing results in an alert window.

Hello all.
I would like to get the script to count the number of files in a selected folder.
I have a UI where there are browse, ok and cancel buttons.
I wanted the OK button to show the number of jpeg files in the selected folder. If no folder is selected, and the OK button is pressed, it would prompt the user to select a folder before pressing the OK button.
Thanks!

all you need to learn scripting is in the "JavaScript Tools Guide", you're making some progress but reading that and following the samples will make things clear and speed the learning proccess up.
if you look at your code there's only one function, it is called when the Browse button is clicked. See how it is constructed and write another similar function for the Ok button, in there read the contents of the label box and create a folder with that path, then call the function to read the files.
dlg.Panel1.okBtn.onClick = function (){
   selectedFolder = new Folder(decodeURI(dlg.Panel1.Path.text));
   if (selectedFolder.exists)
        doSomething (selectedFolder);
   else
        alert("select a folder first...");
dlg.center(); //center dialog box on screen
dlg.show(); //show dialog box
function doSomething(folder)
        files = folder.getFiles();
        alert(files.length + " Files in selected Folder");
        alert(files);

Hi Navneet
In File Access parameters --> Target Directory
Use this type of Directory name
\XIDEV_STORES\%store%\sapoutbound
here %store% will be changed accordingly
e.g. if file will come for store 001 then this %Store% will be replaced by 001 and file will be placed in this 001 folder and if file will come for store 002 then this %Store% will be replaced by 002 and file will be placed in this 002 folder over FTP.
For to achieve this Go to Advanced tab
For Variable Substitution check mark Enable
Now speciofy the parameter values for Variable Name and Reference
Under Vriable name specify = store
Under Reference specify = payload:WP_PLU02,1,IDOC,1,EDI_DC40,1,RCVPRN,1 -
You have to give full path name here that where this store variable is located into IDOC.
Hope this example will help you

Does itunes automatically copy files to its folder?

If I download music from a website to my desktop, and then doubleclick the icon on my desktop, it starts playing in itunes. But it also looks like it saves a copy of the file in the itunes music folder. Can i just safely delete the files off my desktop now (and still play the music in future) because they have been automically copied into the itunes folder?
Also, is there a way to turn this feature off, so that I can still play the music by clicking on the icons on the desktop, but itunes doesn't automatically copy the files into its folder?

Hi Jeff,
iTunes does put a copy of the song in your Music Folder, and yes, you can delete the file off your Desktop as soon as it opens in iTunes, I'll take a minute now to see if you can turn off the automatic copying feature.
Edit:
You can turn off the auto-copy setting by going to iTunes-Preferences-Advanced-uncheck the box next to "Copy files to iTunes Music Folder when adding to library"

Importing All the files from a folder at a time

Hi....
Can any body tell me how to import set of files from a folder into IDM.
It is becoming very difficult to import the files one after other....
Waiting for Reply....
Thanks in advance..........

We used an ant script to build an XML file that will contain the files. The script is configured to use the folder structure of our CVS repository.
We'd checkout our XML module and then run the build script and import the resulting init file.

HELP. ............Hi folks hope some one can help me please.Having a problem in Bridge I open my images in ACR, as I open files in a folder and lets say they are labeled in yellow they are all going back to the camera raw default , in other words no matter what work I have done, inc cropping they all go back to ,as they came out of camera. What on earth is happening? I am on PS CS6. I might point out everything was working normally up to yesterday, when this first started.
I recently changed computer to 64bit from 32bit, not sure if this causing the problem or not. Any help would be appreciated.

Also please give exact versions of Photoshop CS6 (13.what.what), of Bridge and of your OS.
Thanks.
BOILERPLATE TEXT:
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand, such as your platform (Mac or Win), exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop and of Bridge, machine specs, what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far, what error message(s) you receive, if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them, etc., someone may be able to help you.

Authenication needed when moving or saving files to a folder

I've been online searching but can't find a resolution to disabling having to authenticate when moving or saving files to any folder.
I read something about using Terminal and tried the suggestion which was typing in
sudo chawn -R yourshortname . Then putting in my password when prompted. It either will not type my password or not accept it.
Can anyone help? Thanks

You can't disable or correct it with that command. See http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1216618 for more information.

FILE DELETE FROM FOLDER

HI ALL,
I AM USING THIS METHD FOR DELETING THE FILE FROM THE
FOLDER BUT I DONT KNOW WHAT VALUE SHULD I PASS TO THE RC.
CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>file_delete
EXPORTING
filename = 'E:\FOLDER1\TEST1.XLS'
changing
rc =
THANKS AND REGARDS,
SUGEET.

Hi,
You should declare a local variable of TYPE I and pass it to RC. RC is nothing but a return code set by system upon successful deletion or otherwise of the file that you have specified for filename.
Some thing like the following,
DATA: lv_subrc TYPE i.
CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>file_delete
EXPORTING
filename = 'E:FOLDER1TEST1.XLS'
changing
rc = lv_subrc.
IF lv_subrc NE 0.
****Deletion failed..
ENDIF.
Hope this helps..
