NFS or FTP to Pick files from Windows Directory

Hi All,
I am working of File to File Scenario. PI needs to pick a file placed in Windows Directory. I have configured the scenario as NFS and given the proper Folder path and file name. PI is not able to Pick the file. It is saying "Configured Directory Does not Exists".
Both PI (HP Unix) and Windows systems are in same network. Do I need to use FTP for this scenario? Is there any way to access the files in Windows Directory using NFS protocol?
Thanks.

Hi Achuth,
Ask you BASIS person to create one shared folder in PI Server(HP Unix) and use that directory in channel.
thanks,
madhu

  • How to pick files from ECC directory

    Hi All,
    I have to pick files from the directory of ECC. can anyone tell me how to configure the sender File apapter? Can i use NFS for the same?
    Regards,
    Lavanya R

    Hi Lavanya,
    With my knowledge two ways to pick the file from ECC using File adapter.
    1. If you use NFS, mount point should be created in ECC for the Directory to access from PI.
    2. If you use FTP, FTP ports must be opened between PI and ECC.

  • To pick files from multiple directory in FILE ADAPTER

    Hi all,
    Is their any settings or adapter configuration parameters to be used  to pick  the files from multiple directory .

    Hi,
    You can only specify one directory on the communication channel. The advance selection allows the selection of different files within this directory.
    Therefore you will need a communication channel for each directory you wish to pull files from.
    (Just looked at the blog and see it is possible after all - I'm on the wrong SP)
    Kind regards
    Colin.

  • Sender file adapter is not picking the file from windows server

    Hi Experts,
    We have a sender file adapter running on Unix server. Now we have changed the source directory path from Unix to Windows in file access parameters.  It is not picking the files from windows directory and not showing any error.
    In this scenario, input file for sender adapter is *.xml and no content conversion.
    Could any one please let me know is there anything needs to changed in file adapter.
    Thanks in advance,
    Sridhar. M

    Sridhar,
    What do you have in the directory path?
    If it is a shared drive in unix then the directory in windows should also be a shared drive from XI system. Else if it is FTP check the address.

  • Background: Pick files from directory at central instance

    Hi,
    In Background, We want to pick files from the directory present central instance. I am using FM RZL_READ_DIR_LOCAL to read all files present in directory and later we process each of them.
    This FM works fine while I work online but not in background. In Development and Quality servers it works fine in background. possible reason could be that we dont have central instance in dev and quality server.
    Please suggest.
    Thanks

  • Hello, How do I tell sql+ to spool output file from windows to Unix server?

    Hello, How do I tell sql+ to spool output file from windows to Unix server?
    I am new to SQL+ and just learned how to spool the file. But file is saved in my local windows enviroment and since it's 2GB in size...I want to spool it directly to another remote unix server.
    Pls answer in detail... I have been to most of the thread and didn't see relevant answer to above question.
    Am I suppose to develope some script which FTP the spool file directly to the server I want to
    or
    i Have to use UTL_FILE Package ?
    Thanks for reply

    You may not be able to...
    SQL*Plus can only spool to the local machine. If you have mapped a directory on the Unix server from your Windows machine, you can specify that directory in your SPOOL command.
    You could telnet to the Unix server, run SQL*Plus there, and spool the file to a local (Unix) directory.
    If the Unix server is also the Oracle database server, you could use the UTL_FILE package rather than using SQL*Plus to spool a file.
    If the Unix server is also an FTP server, you could also FTP the file from your local machine to the server.
    Of course, I would tend to re-examine a requirement to regularly generate a 2 GB text file. It seems likely that there is a better way...

  • Copy CSV file from windows to linux

    Our oracle is installed on UNIX machine so we have to place CSV file there.
    We are on windows.We are using Putty client to access UNIX server.
    how to copy CSV file from windows to UNIX server?

    how to copy CSV file from windows to UNIX server?Using scp (secure copy).
    It is supported by Putty and ssh services are available by default on most (if not all) modern Unix servers.
    Don't have a Windows machine close by, but I recall the scp command is supported by the Putty executable called "+pscp.exe+".
    The syntax is very simple:
    scp <from_destination> <to_destination>
    example (pushing a file from Windows to Oracle Unix server)
      scp c:\datafiles\accounts.csv [email protected]:/u01/files/accounts.csv This will prompt for a password.
    You also can use ssh trusted certificates (RSA or DSA keys) to automate this. Using Putty you can generate a key pair that consists of a private key and public key.
    You copy and paste the public key into the destination server's +$HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys+ file. This results the server in trusting that client and allows the client to connect (using ssh, scp and sftp) without having to supply a password (as the private part of the key serves as authentication). (I would however not use the oracle account for this, but a special scp-copy usage Unix account that does not support shell usage)
    If you want to automate it the other way around - have the Unix server pull the file from the Windows client, then you need to install server software on that Windows machine to allow it to provide such a file copy service.
    Again I suggest using ssh - OpenSSH is available for a variety of platforms, and Windows should be included. If not, there should be ssh service for Windows from Microsoft or another vendor that can be used.
    Any other method than ssh will be either insecure or problematic. FTP is insecure as usernames and passwords are transmitted in clear text. Using Windows File Sharing requires Samba to be loaded and configured on the Unix server - and this is extra work installing and configuring and testing s/w that uses a low level security, that is also proprietary and could required setting on the Windows client also to make it work in a somewhat robust fashion.
    The standard today is ssh. It is robust and secure. And it makes a lot of sense to use it.. and pretty good motivation for not using it ifo something else.

  • Need to convert PageMaker 6.5 Plus files from Windows XP to PDF for Windows 7.

    I need to convert PageMaker 6.5 Plus files into PDF from a Windows XP operating system to a Windows 7 operating system. It tells me I need a postscript printer. I don't have a postscript printer and really don't want to print them. I just want to transfer the files from Windows XP to Windows 7. Help!!

    No, it isn't telling you that you need a PostScript printer. It's telling you that you need a PostScript printer DRIVER, which is software, not a printer.
    Use the Add Printer function to add an Apple LaserWriter IINTX. That's a PostScript printer. Then try again.
    I don't quite understand the Windows 7 connection, though. What are you hoping to achieve by making a PDF. You WON'T be able to edit them, if that's the idea.

  • How do I share files from Windows Vista to a Mac with Lion OSX?

    How do I share files from Windows Vista to a Mac with Lion OSX?  I'm having SO much trouble with this!  Any help would be appreciated!!!

    In a finder window, under 'shared' you should be able to see the windows computer name, click on it and connect to it. I am assuming here you have sharing turned on and permissions granted on the windows computer.
    Will add a note though, I have frequently accessed files from a PC on the LAN using XP, not vista.

  • Can't copy some files from Windows 7 to Mac OSX over network

    Hi,
    I'm running the latest version of Max OSX v10.8.4 on a brand new Macbook Pro.
    I have followed the setup instructions at http://www.7tutorials.com/how-change-workgroup-mac-os-x-easy-networking to access my Macbook from Windows, and http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/24950/how-to-share-a-folder-in-os-x-with-windows/ to share some folders from my Macbook to Windows.
    I am now trying to copy some files from my Windows 7 Pro (SP1) computer to my Mac, and have hit the following problems:
    I can view my Macbook in my list of local networked computers on WIndows, but I cannot access it. Clicking on it causes Windows 7 to try and access it, but then I get a message after a minute saying the network path could not be found. However, if I manually enter the IP address of my Macbook in the Windows address bar (\\192.168.0.191), I can view and access all the shared folders. I can never access the Macbook via it's computer name (\\MACBOOK-ROB).
    I cannot copy some files from Windows to my Macbook shared folders via Windows. There is nothing to distinguish these files from the hundereds of other files that I have successfully copied to my Macbook. They are pictures and music with no special characters in the filenames, not overly long filenames or folder paths, no access restrictions, or any other security restriction that I can see. However, every single attempt to copy these files to my Macbook results in WIndows reporting that access to the destination was denied.
    I have tried both these above scenarios on WiFi and Ethernet, and the results are the same.
    So:
    Why am I unable to access my Macbook by it's computer name on the network? How can Windows see it, but not access it?
    What are the limitations on transferring files over SMB that is (presumably) causing these specific files to fail?
    Thanks for any help you can offer.

    I have a fix for inability to copy files. I had the same problem moving a lot of old files across my LAN from a Windows XP machine to a Mac Mini running Mountain Lion. After confirming copy of some special file, I would get an error that terminated the copy operation, and info on the Mac side would show a locked folder.
    I finally decided to eliminate all special files on the Windows side, before copying, by running
         attrib -s -h -r /s /d [drive or folder]\*.*
    in a command window. Running attrib /?  tells what the arguments mean, but it doesn't explain that you need the *.* to make the command go through the hierarchy clearing the special attributes on all the files.
    After I did that, and then used drag and drop between two Windows Explorer windows (one on the Windows drive, on on the target drive on the Mac), the whole move operation ran to completion without stopping either for error or to ask for confirmation.
    I do not have a fix for the inability to access some computers by name rather than by IP address. I'm looking into the possibility of activating bind on the Mac but I haven't done anything yet.

  • Windows Easy Transfer can't transfer files from Windows Vista or Windows XP

    I'm running a English Windows Vista Ultimate and just bought a
    ENGLISH Windows 8.1. I've downloaded the WET for Windows vista and tried to complete the second portion of the transfer by specifying the saved .MIG file WET created. Then I got the error message: "Windows Easy Transfer can't transfer
    files from Windows Vista or Windows XP".
    The truth is, Microsoft was too busy integrating special effects to it's operating system and claimed it as fully polished instead of making sure built-in tools were worth using.
    Another harsh reality is that THERE IS NO WAY TO TRANSFER a file from Windows Vista to Windows 8. That's because engineers didn't even bother to make that possibility happen. Just Google: "Transfer from windows vista to windows 8" and you'll see
    there are no relevant Microsoft web page about this.
    Worse, Microsoft is giving excuses. To solve this issues, they came with a toolbox of fake scenarios in order to confuse clients even further, while they know damn well the Windows Easy Transfer is NOT EASY and certainly in multiple cases
    DOES NOT TRANSFER jack to begin with.

    I somewhat agree with you.
    Trying to transfer from 7 to 8.1 and although it looks like the "7" side of the equation is working, the "8" side isn't.
    "7" is trying to connect to "8" but "8.1" is being just plain stupid.
    Not even sure why the MIG file step is even necessary if all I want to do is transfer one file between two machines.  Said file is really BIG, or i'd just use my network, and the "8.1" rig doesn't have a dvd reader...
    Per the MIG step... my file again, is big... I'd need to "mig" this file just to send it? Can't even get to the step where I'd mig-it and if i did, how long would that take?
    So this is what progress is all about... geez... gimmie a NULL MODEM CABLE !!!

  • Can't open PDF files from Windows Explorer on Windows 8.1

    Hello,
    after I've upgraded to Windows 8.1, I can't open PDF files from Windows Explorer (directly double clicking the file). The AcroRd32.exe runs in the background (2x !) as I see the processes in task manager, but there is no user interface visible. I have Acrobat
    Reader 11.0.06, the desktop version (not Metro). I tried uninstalling the Acrobat reader and installing it again but this didn't help. The only way to open PDF files is to close the AcroRd32.exe from the task manager, open empty Acrobat Reader from the desktop
    and then drag&drop the PDF file over that window. This is quite inconvenient. Is there a way to fix this issue so I can open PDF files directly from windows explorer?
    Many thanks!

    I had to install adobe reader, but   PDF's used to display just fine with IE, any idea what happened ?
    Windows 8.1 pro.

  • Boot Camp And Viewing\Editing Files From Windows

    I just ordered Leopard and I'm going to putting it on my 20 Imac next weekend. My plans are to install Windows Vista home premium through boot camp. Is there a way to access files from Windows on Leopard and vice-versa? I have MS Office for Mac and Windows and I do photo editing and it would be nice to access and edit files as needed whatever OS I'm without having to reboot. Some kind of third party software available for this? Parallels is OUT OF THE QUESTION for me. I tried it a few months ago and it was nothing but a nightmare. Left me with a really bad taste for it.
    Thanks.

    Thanks Kappy,
    I did a quick look at MacDrive and looks like what I was wanting. Will download the trial after my transition. Another question: When I install and setup Boot Camp will there be an option to format the partition in NTFS or does it do it by default?
    Thanks again for the tip on MacDrive. I've only had this Mac for about 6 months and just learning what is probably old news to you.
