Multiple files with same name--- automatic renaming option??

I am trying to sort my files by adding multiple files to a single folder. However, many have the same filename, and I get the error " there already exists a file with the name "x", please choose another name" etc. I am dealing with thousands of files here that are very tedious to rename individually. Is there an option or program that either disables this block on multiple files with the same name in a common folder, or automatically renames the files as they are placed in the folder?

i would like all the files to have different names, but not have to do it myself. they are generated my my audio recorder, which automatically names files take1, take2, take3 etc. multiple sessions entail multiple folders, i am trying to consolidate.

How to check-in multiple files with same name having different revision num

Hi
Can anyone please tell me, how to check-in multiple files with the same name with different revision number using RIDC API.
For eg:
First I will check-in a file(TestFile.txt) into a content server with revision number 1 using RIDC API in ADF application. Then after some time, will modify the same file(TestFile.txt) and check-in again. I tried to check-in same file multiple times, however first time its checking-in correctly into server showing revision as 1, while checking-in same file again, its not giving any errror message, and also its not reflecting in server. Only one file(TestFile.txt) is reflecting in server.
How to implement this functinality using RIDC API? Any suggestions would be helpful.
Regards
Raj

Hi Srinath
Thanks for your response. Its not cloning, its like check-in file first, then check-out the file and do some editing and then again upload the same file with different revision number using RIDC. I got the solution now.

Hi all
Hope to get some help with Elements Organizer.
I have 12-15 years of digital photos that I now want to import into my newly aquirede Adobe Elements Organizer / Photoshop. Since my Nikon names the files with continous numbers from 0001 to 9999 I have multiple files with the same name although they are not alike at all. My previous software had no problems with that since I keep the photos in separate file folders based on import date. I generally import photos after each event and so name the folder with the date and some event info (e.g. 2014.12.24 - Christmas at grandparents).
That is a common situation, I have the same limitation for files not going over 9999 on my Canons...
Now - when I import my photos into Elements Organizer I get a lot of error messages with "same name exist .....) Hmmmmmmm
Please sate the exact wording of the error message, I have never seen a message stating 'same name exist...' or equivalent; only messages about files already in the catalog. Files already in the catalog mean that some files have the same 'date taken' and file size in Kb.
Any suggestions. I'm using a mac and tried to rename files based on date taken. The mac can do that but it takes ages to go into each folder and run the renaming script there.
I also use a similar folder creation scheme (such a date naming is the default for the downloader). That way I never get a message about duplicates for the same file names.
However - I can't be the first or only person with this problem so I figure that some workaround must be known out there. Maybe the import action can recognize date taken or - well. Thank you very much in advance if you can help me out here.
You can alsways set the downloader to rename the imported files with a unique new name, there are many options in the 'advanced' dialog of the downloader. I don't know about Macs, but I don't thing there is a difference.

Batch Rename Multiple files with different names

Hi,
Is there any way to batch rename multiple files with individual names? I.e
IMG_123 changed to RSP45AS
IMG_124 changed to MOL157A
IMG_125 changed to AGKH135
IMG_126 changed to MNOLH13
IMG_127 changed to ASFBLUG
Etc.
Are they any programs or scripts or plug ins that would do that job?
Thanks

Merging Log Files with same name

Hello,
I have log files with same name 00000000.jdb (because created at different machines). I would like to merge data stored in these two files.
I tried below approaches which do not work:
1. rename one of the files -> doesn't work as file header has file name info which doesn't match with renamed value
2. db dump/load -> dump and load works without error. (i have to dump Entity related Database and Format related Database -- from -l option) However when i try to read the file, it gives error.
Exception in thread "main" com.sleepycat.je.EnvironmentFailureException: (JE 5.0.103) Catalog could not be refreshed, may indicate corruption, errorFormatId=52 nFormats=51, . UNEXPECTED_EXCEPTION: Unexpected internal Exception, may have side effects.
I am using EntityStore and thus Annotated Entities.
Does any one has any insights?
Thanks.

Yuvaraj,
As you discovered, it is not possible to use .jdb files from one environment in a different environment. The .jdb files use an internal format with relationships between files that form the Btree.
I'm glad to hear you were able to use DbDump and DbLoad successfully.

Static Files with same name. How does apex determine which files to serve?

Hello, I'm using apex 4.2.1.00.08 and I cannot figure out how apex manages the static files and cannot find any help in the docs (other that some high level UI description).
The application is serving some file and I cannot find which one it is in any easy way.
I have a workspace where there are several files that have the same name, and I cannot understand how apex figures out which one to serve, and also don't understand what is value of associating a file with an application.
There are files associated with application 0, which don't appear to show up in the "shared components", but can be seen as
SELECT *
FROM wwv_flow_files
WHERE flow_id = 0;
and can apparently only be deleted using "SQL Commands" inside apex.
the URL called is something like
wwv_flow_file_mgr.get_file?p_security_group_id=13498126233076320&p_fname=myfile.css
so apparently the only parameters that matter are the workspace and the file name. The associated application is irrelevant.
apparently files linked to flow_id 0 have precedence over all the other files ...
Thanks for clearing up a bit of "fog" on this issue.

I have a workspace where there are several files that have the same name, and I cannot understand how apex figures out which one to serve, and also don't understand what is value of associating a file with an application.Static files can be uploaded to apex with optionally associating with an application within that workspace.
Files associated with an application are referenced using *#APP_IMAGES#*
Files not associated with an application are referenced using *#WORKSPACE_IMAGES#*I referenced with #WORKSPACE_IMAGES#, but now I see that if I use #APP_IMAGES# the URL generated will also contain the application ID. This would help to discriminate between different files with the same name but linked to different applications ...

Do they take precedence over all other files with the same name?
Filename is unique for the given workspace[and application]I disagree. I have multiple files with the same name ... the root of this problem ...
so apparently the only parameters that matter are the workspace and the file name. The associated application is irrelevant.How is your static file referenced??
But not always, try associating an static file with and application and reference it using #APP_IMAGES# instead of #WORKSPACE_IMAGES#
See

http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E37097_01/doc/doc.42/e35125/ui_file_manage.htm#HTMDB06011
Thanks, but the documentation doesn't give much details ... apparently files referenced with #WORKSPACE_IMAGES# can still resolve to files linked to specific applications ... I would like to understand the actual workflow for the various cases (file references with APP_IMAGES, referenced with WORKSPACE_IMAGES, file associated with the application, with another application, with no application, with application "0" ...).
Also, I find it somewhat misleading that you can have files associate with applications that don't exist anymore (e.g. have been deleted).

Mounting multiple directories with same name on different severs to a single mount point on another server

We have a requirement where in we have multiple solaris servers and each solaris server has a directory with the same name.
The files in these directories will be different.
These same name directories on multiple severs has to be mounted to a single directory on another sever.
We are planning to use NFS, but it seems we can not mount multiple directories with same name on different severs to a single mount point using NFS, and we need to create multiple mount points.
Is there any way we can achieve this so that all the directories can be mounted to a single mount point?

You can try to mount all these mount points via NFS in one additional server and then export this new tree again via NFS to all your servers.
No sure if this works. If this works, then you will have in this case just an additional level in the tree.

Script to find files with same names with in a folder and it sub folders.

Looking for script to find files with same names with in a folder and it sub folders.

Are you just looking to find if any two files underneath a folder have the same name?
If you just want to know that a file named "whatever" exists in two folders, that's not too difficult, but you probably want to know the full path names.
Here's one attempt:
$ perl -MFile::Find -le 'find(\&w, "."); while (($n,$p)=each %file) {if(@{$p}>1){print join(" ",@{$p})}} sub w{push @{$file{$_}},$File::Find::name;}'That will print the pathnames on the same line of any files with the same name that appear anywhere underneath your current directory.
It's a bit long for a "one-liner", but functional.

Read multiples files with same extension

how to read multiples files with same extension in java.
for ex : i would like to read all .DAT files from C drive using java.
How is it done

- You create the filter
- You get the list of files
- You open and read each file.
For the first two above you look at java.io.File and listFiles(FileFilter filter).
For the third you find whatever input stream is appropriate from java.io.*

FTP Activity - mget multiple files with dynamic names

Hello All
Hope all is well.
I was wondering if there was a way to configure FTP activity to transfer multiple files with dynamic names from source location at daily intervals.
For example, my source files are affixed with date values (source_filename_<mmddyyyy>_<hh>.txt):
source_filename_12252009_00.txt
source_filename_12252009_06.txt
source_filename_12252009_12.txt
source_filename_12252009_18.txt
What I would like my process flow to do would be to download just these 4 files once daily based on a dynamic ftp script as follows:
open ${Remote.Host}
${Remote.User}
${Remote.Password}
cd ${Remote.RootPath}
prompt off
mget ????????
quit
In DOS batch script you would have the mget command with a wildcard as:
mget source_filename_%DATE:~0,2%%DATE:~2,2%%DATE:~4,4%*.txt
How does one go about implementing this in OWB? Does it require a user defined substitution varilable of some sort?
FYI, I am using version 10gR2.
Cheers.

Hi ,
If you are able to achieve your objective from a DOS batch script then you can call that script for an User Defined Activity in OWB process flow .
Hope this helps.

To create multiple files with same content but with different names

Hi SapAll.
here i have got a tricky situation on Idoc to File Scenario.
in my interface of an Idoc to file ,there is requirement to create multiple files with different file names but with same content based on one Idoc Segment.
which means there will be one Zsegment with two fields in the idoc,where one field with (content refers to the name which file name should start with .so lets say if this segment is repeated for 3 times then PI should create 3 files in the same directory with same content but with different file names (from the filed).
so here for now iam using one reciever file communication channel.
can any body give me the quick answer.
regards.
Varma

What do you mean by different names?
when i make proper setting in the Receiver Channel....on how to create the filename (what to append) like add Timestamp, counter, date, messageid.....even in this case you will ahve file with different names and that too from same File channel.
You can perform multi-mapping in XI/ PI and then your File channel will place the files in the target folder with relevant names. You cannot use Dynamic Configuration with Multi-Mapping!
If you intend to use different File channels, then do the configuration as required (normal)...even over here you can follow multi-mapping.
Do not use a BPM!

Abhishek.

How to send File with Same name to Receiver

hi,
You have to go for variable substitution option available in receiver file adapter,but for that you have to get the file name in receiver payload.

Files with same name

Hello,
Is it possible to have several files with different assetId, but with the same assetUri, and in the same folder?
Initially, I though yes, because the assetId is a unic id that could differentiate two asset with the same assetUri (that is the visible name in the user interface). But after trying, I noticed that, in this situation, sometime only one asset is shown in the UI (bridge for example), and sometime all the assets are shown, but they are inaccessible (no preview, no possible to open them, no information, just the two assets with the same name represented in Bridge).
Is there then a way to show, in the user interface, two assets (with different assetId) with a same name?
Thank you
ps: by the way, to have two files with same assetUri, different assetId and in the same directory, it makes Bridge struggling (using 100% processor)

You can use the same class name in different packages.
The Java API does that (java.awt.List, java.util.List).
This is odd. What version of javadoc are you using,
and what command are you passing in, with what classpath setting?
