Not overwriting server files still unresolved

Reposted from a 2009 post in a 2007 thread:
DW CS2 was overwriting server files on PUT all the time, and now sometimes doesn't. GoDaddy.COM tech support suggests it is likely a DW issue. I agree.
I upload an update to a file already existing on the server such as HTML, PHP, JPG, etc. At times, the file simply will not update on the server. When this occurs, I've gone to dual (remote/local) view to watch the activity. I use the PUT button, and no update. I drag-drop the file directly to the correct folder, and no update. But...if I manually delete the server side file, then use the PUT button or drag-drop, the new file is then the correct file. Simply refusing to update on the server...but only sometimes. Whether using PUT or drag-drop, the file appears correctly in the desired folder, so it wasn't being sent to an incorrect server location.

Added information:
When these things have occurred, at times out of necessity and to check whether it is a server-related issue, I have used a couple other freebie FTP software to upload the same files. In every case, with each other software, the files uploaded which has just refused to properly update when uploaded using DW, would update on the server properly.
If people on this forum, watching these problems do not have an answer, that is something I can accept easily. But if some of those people are Adobe staffers, and it is not thoroughly investigated toward an end of resolving these issues, I find that highly objectionable. The 2009 post above was with reference to using DW in CS2 in Windows XP. I am now on a new machine, using Windows 7. At least most of the time, this particular anomaly is not occurring...but then I haven't been doing as much web work lately, so might not have run into it as it is a now and then style anomaly.
Only time will tell if the anomaly is still present. I can't really remember if it has surfaced in Windows 7. If it has not and does not, this "may" be an indicator that the problems lie in the relationship between DW and Windows XP...rather than only being about DW. I do not think it is the server in any case, as other tests indicate it is DW-specific. GoDaddy has checked and has found nothing which would prevent the files from updating correctly.
Someone in the other thread mentioned the case where a file inadvertently gets uploaded to the wrong folder. While that is not typical, it IS possible and I have to admit having been guilty in that area before...very "egg on face." So for anyone having such difficulties, DO scout around and make sure the correct updated file is not actually sitting somewhere else on the server wondering why no one accesses it. But I still hate dealing with Adobe...maybe because they've become rich producing good software, and I'm just a lowly tag-along.

You don't need crossdomain policy files, you need to do the following;
1)      Edit the Application.xml file in the host folder, within install directory/conf/... , edit the client tag, adding the attribute override=”yes”
<Client override=”yes”>
In a default install of Flash Media Server, the Client class is set to prevent overriding values in the application folder. This was why the settings we were trying were not holding.
We do not need to alter anything else of the conf Application.xml
2)      Add the client/access nodes to the root Application.xml within the content folder ( we have already done this as far as I am aware ).
<Application>
<Client>
   <Access>
    <VideoSampleAccess enabled="true">/</VideoSampleAccess>
    <AudioSampleAccess enabled="true">/</AudioSampleAccess>
   </Access>
</Client>
</Application>
3)      Restart the Media Server by using the administration console. This will enable the client>access values to be overridden to true.

Save for web not overwriting original files in cs6

It doesn't always happen but when I use save for web to save an image it goes through all the motions as normal but when I go to view the image, I find that it hasn't overwritten the original file. Has anyone else experienced this, it has happened to other people in the studio too so it might be something to do with our setup?

Are you on a mac? If you have a finder window open of the file you are trying to overwrite (or the file is open somewhere else), and it is selected in that window with the preview showing, Save For Web does not overwrite it as it's technically "In Use". Either close the window or deselect the item. This seems to happen to me more when the file is on a server but can also happen on the local disk. I am now in the habit of saving as filename_1 and then renaming them afterwards.
I would imagine you would get a similar story on a Windows machine but I have no way of testing this.

Could not overwrite rtf file on report template in BI Publisher

Hi All,
I want to upload the rtf file for Bi publisher report. There is already an rtf file and I have edited the file and want to overwrite it . It shows that the only way is to delete the template and again
create the template by uploading the rtf file. I tried to overwrite the existing template with edited rtf but it shows the error. Is there any other options rather than deleting the template and uploading again for edited rtf file.
Thanks,

Hi,
it seems, sometimes everyone would like to draw a vertical reference line at the data date of a line chart, so I would like to bring this thread up again.
I assume, that there is no vertical reference line on line, bar or area charts, because of the following reason: The vertical reference line is made for X1Axis; that's why it's called X1ReferenceLine. Line, bar and area charts don't have any X1Axis, but a O1Axis (ordinal axis):
from Graph.dtd: "

<!ELEMENT O1Axis EMPTY >

<!ELEMENT X1Axis (ViewFormat?) >
There is no such thing as <!ELEMENT O1ReferenceLine EMPTY > in Graph.dtd.
Is there any other solution, why it seems not to be possible, to draw a vertical reference line on line charts?
Kind regards,
Tobias
ps: Regarding the difference between X-Axis and ordinal axis, I take the explanation from http://goorman.free.fr/ZedGraph/zedgraph.org/wiki/index1240.html?title=What_does_%27Ordinal%27_mean%3F .

Copy-item not overwriting exising files but creating additional subfolder.

Hello, A simple bit of code does not do as expected:
copy-item "C:\folder1\*" -destination "\\server1\share1\folder2" -recurse
I would expect this to copy all files from c:\folder 1 to the destination folder. If the destination folder does not exist it should create it however it doesn't. I get the error "Copy-Item : Could not find a part of the path".
if I change the code to the following i also get unexpected results:
copy-item "C:\folder1" -destination "\\server1\share1\folder2" -recurse
If i run this once, the folder structure is created and the files are copied. If i run this again it created an additional folder in the tree and copies the files to that folder again so we end up with the following:
\\server1\share1\folder2\folder2
What am I doing wrong? All i want to do is copy the contents of a folder to another location and create it if ti does not exist.
Thanks.

Copy-Item is confusing because, when copying a folder, if the destination doesn't exist it assumes you're trying to copy/rename the source to be the destination, whereas if the destination exists it assumes you're trying to copy underneath it.
This is really annoying behavior and you can vote to change it by
up-voting the issue here.
In your second example, folder2 doesn't initially exist so it thinks you're trying to copy and rename folder1 to be "\\server1\share1\folder2". On subsequent runs, folder2 exists and it thinks you're trying to copy folder1 underneath it ("\\server1\share1\folder2\folder1").
If you run it a third time, there's already a folder1 in the destination so you get "Item with specified name already exists" if you don't use the -Force flag to overwrite.
The only other answer I found online is "use RoboCopy instead". I didn't want to so I copied into the parent folder instead ("\\server1\share1\", in your example). This gets ugly when paths aren't literal strings. For example,
I had to use (get-item "c:\$_").parent.fullname as my destination.

Dreamweaver not overwriting files on the server

I am having the same problem that was mentioned in another post andthe issue has increased in Dreamweaver CS4. It will not overwrite new files to the server consistently. Even the date changes in some cases but the old file is still there. It is not a problem with the server because when I upload them with FETCH everything works. It is EXTREMELY frustrating and makes the program almost useless if you can't use this aspect of it. I have checked all the preferences and can't find anything that is causing this except for that I don't usually upload the dependent files because they already exist. What is the deal? Anyone know?

I have run into something similar on our webserver where the server was caching files. I am not sure how our IT guy fixed it, but I cleared the browser cache, and it still rendered the old page because the server was caching it.

Can not overwrite files on windows server

we use a mac mini with os x 10.6.2. when trying to save files to a windows server it will not overwrite the files. we have to save using a new name then delete the original file and rename the new one back to the desired name. can not figure out why. any ideas?

the permissions on the server are read/write. files can be overwritten. we have another mac mini with an older version of os (10.5.something) and it works fine. this mini is new so i think it has something to do with the new os.

Essbase Data Export not Overwriting existing data file

We have an ODI interface in our environment which is used to export the data from Essbase apps to text files using Data export calc scripts and then we load those text files in a relational database. Laetely we are seeing some issue where the Data Export calc script is not overwriting the file and is just appending the new data to the existing file.
The OverWriteFile option is set to ON.
SET DATAEXPORTOPTIONS {
     DataExportLevel "Level0";
     DataExportOverWriteFile ON;
DataExportDimHeader ON;
     DataExportColHeader "Period";
     DataExportDynamicCalc ON;
The "Scenario" variable is a substitution variable which is set during the runtime. We are trying to extract "Budget" but the calc script is not clearing the "Actual" scenario from the text file which was the scenario that was extracted earlier. Its like after the execution of the calc script, the file contains both "Actual" and "Budget" data. We are not able to find the root cause as in why this might be happening and why OVERWRITEFILE command is not being taken into account by the data export calc script.
We have also deleted the text data file to make sure there are no temporary files on the server or anything. But when we ran the data export directly from Essbase again, then again the file contained both "Actual" as well as "Budget" data which really strange. We have never encountered an issue like this before.
Any suggestions regarding this issue?

Did some more testing and pretty much zoomed on the issue. Our Scenario is actually something like this "Q1FCST-Budget", "Q2FCST-Budget" etc
This is the reason why we need to use a member function because Calc Script reads "&ODI_SCENARIO" (which is set to Q2FCST-Budget) as a number and gives an error. To convert this value to a string we are using @member function. And, this seems the root cause of the issue. The ODI_Scenario variable is set to "Q2FCST-Budget", but when we run the script with this calculation function @member("&ODI_SCENARIO"), the data file brings back the values for "Q1FCST-Budget" out of nowhere in addition to "Q2FCST-Budget" data which we are trying to extract.
Successful Test Case 1:
1) Put Scenario "Q2FCST-Budget" in hard coded letters in Script and ran the script
e.g "Q2FCST-Phased"
2) Ran the Script
3) Result Ok.Script overwrote the file with Q2FCST-Budget data
Successful Case 2:
1) Put scenario in @member function
e.g. @member("Q2FCST-Budget")
2) Results again ok
Failed Case:
1) Deleted the file
2) Put scenario in a substitution variable and used the member function "@member("&ODI_Scenario") and Ran the script . *ODI_SCENARIO is set to Q@FCST-Budget in Essbase variables.
e.g. @member("&ODI_SCENARIO")
3) Result : Script contained both "Q1FCST-Budget" as well as "Q2FCST-Budget" data values in the text file.
We are still not close to the root cause and why is this issue happening. Putting the sub var in the member function changes the complete picture and gives us inaccurate results.
Any clues anyone?

Upload not overwriting files

DW 3.0
When I upload htm files they are not always overwriting the
files on the server. This is especially true when uploading batches
of files, but even with single files they sometimes overwrite the
server files and sometimes they don't. Very frustrating.
Under Preferences > Site FTP I have "Save Files Before
Putting" checked.
What could be causing the files to not be overwriting? Thanks

Thank you Beth, for your good natured play.
But you see, I already spent the money. The software had glitches back
then...still does only worse now. They didn't mind spending money to get it out
there and sold. Other companies support software that's much much older.
It's not that I won't spend money to keep up with the professionals and high
tech crowd...I have no need to keep up with them. It's that I already
spent money and would like to see the software work correctly. I'll even put it
back on an P4-XP machine...no problem. Of course, then I have to call in
and answer their automated inquiry as to how many machines I've installed
this obsolete version on...like it really mattered. They won't spend money to
support it, but they work hard to protect their already-received money and
interests like a government agency! So I suppose it IS lame of me to see
that as one-sided, self-serving, and lacking in care toward the consumer who
isn't continually spending money in their store.
I don't need to deal with a comfort zone or learn new software...I
under-utilize the version I have as it is. I just want it to work consistently.
I've considered upgrading, but have decided not to because of what I get and
don't get when I purchase their software. Why would I want to pay MORE for
software that...as great as it is in some ways, doesn't want to work for me?
I don't get it. I can download any one of a number of free software, which
while nowhere near as comprehensive as Dreamweaver, WORKS, and
uploads/downloads/edits...without all the error-ridden nonsense I find with
Dreamweaver. The entire package was $1899 (CS2 and Studio 8 together...although I
got a discount for nonprofit status). Presumably they charge these prices
because they view their programming team as being on top of their game...yes?
(or does that only apply to their marketing team?) Why would I want to add
to the hundreds I spent only to endure more misery, almost zero support
without spending more money, only to look forward to paying yet more money for
upgrades of misery and poor support? Note that although I bought it
originally to support our nonprofit chapter, the nonprofit did not/could not pay
for it...I did. My income okay, but is not great enough to pay year after
year for upgrades to expensive software that is so poorly supported...even if
it does Windows AND dishes!
My brother was right. I should get a Mac. But if Adobe or Macromedia
decided to put out Windows versions, I do not in any way think it unreasonable
to expect them to support it through time, with new drivers and patches
relevant to reported glitches and new operating systems being used. To not do so
is coercion and up-sell pressure. Sure, both hardware and software
eventually push everyone involved to upgrade or get lost in the shuffle...but in
this instance, it is over-played. Oh yeah, I forgot...this doesn't apply to
those who use the software to make a good living and stay updated on a
continuing basis, and who either pay more for support or don't need support.
I think you believe you understand my frustration. But it doesn't sound
like you have much use for anyone but professionals who upgrade all things
regularly and remain near the cutting edge. So, okay...I posted my complaints
long ago, and recently...both with and without sarcastic riders. And...I
didn't get assistance from staffers or others on the forum particularly.
Small deal. So Beth comes along, smiling, a little disdain, a chuckle of
knowing how people "should" be doing it if they do any programming, and being so
kind as to exchange emails and posts with me to let me know this...and
still not offer any assistance.
My frustration level is mostly cussing at software that doesn't do what it
touts it is so great at doing. I can live with it. And I have little choice
it seems. LOL But...YES!!!...Adobe could spend a little money giving the
minimal support to their past software versions that many other vendors and
programming teams offer for a LOT less money. OMG! That was almost a pure
rant! Well...thank you Adobe and your Dreamweaver Macromedia predecessors
for the great work you've done, despite what few nigglies you haven't done.
Just go stand in the corner and think about what you've done, and I'll let
you know when you can go play again.
I remain of the conclusion suggested earlier: That my requests are
reasonable. Thank you so very much for your thoughtful time responding.
Doug Couch
Occasional Mediocre Programmer
Wanna-Be TechGuy
=========
(Beth):
You want Adobe to spend money and you won't? Hmmm. And you say you're
making a living with their software? Well, you didn't say that, but...
I think I get your frustration, but try moving out of your comfort zone
and learn the new software.

Error - Server file should not be empty- while uploading Text files in RAR

Hi,
We are uploading SU24 text files but we are getting the error "Server file should not be empty" while uploading the Description files in RAR 5.3
We followed the same naming covention and also used UTF-8 format for the text files. We placed the file in our Desktop as well and tried uploading into RAR - but still the same error is being thrown?
Are we missing something here?
Thanks and Best Regards,
Srihari.K

Hi and thanks to the answers so far.
I forgot to mention some points :
- I'm using forground import
- we are trying to use RAR to run risk analysis on non-sap systems as well as SAP (single or cross-systems).
So the file I'm trying to upload does not come from a SAP backen, but was created from scratch.
However the data in the files are coherent (and I compared with a SAP extraction, the format is the same)
here is a sample of the file I try to upload : (an that is actually what I'm trying to import as a test file)
sap_auth.txt:
OEITIAC     GTIAC     SEL     1
OEITIAC     GTIAC     MOD     1
OEITIAC     GTIAC     INS     1
OEITIAC     GTIAC     SUP     1
each element (ACT/PRM/FLD/VAL) is defined in the sap_desc.txt file that I loaded first (without error).
note that each column is separated by a single TAB (with an empty column at the end of each line).
each line is terminated by a CR/LF
I tried UTF-8 with and W/O BOM

Overwrite existing file not working for FTP

Hi XI Folks,
I am trying not to overwrite the file at receiver - FTP server.
It is getting overwritten though I uncheck 'Overwrite existing file' checkbox in FTP. But the same is working fine for NFS. Please find the config details below.
Receiver communication channel Configuration:
Transport Protocol : FTP
File construction mode: Create
Put File: Use temporary file
Overwrite existing file : Not checked
The file is getting overwritten. Iam in SP15.
Receiver Communication channel Configuration:
Transport Protocol : NFS
File construction mode: Create
Write mode: Use temporary file
Overwrite existing file : Not checked
The file is not getting overwritten. It throws an error in Message monitor with wait status.
Is the "overwrite exist file - checkbox" works only for NFS & not for FTP.
eagerly expecting relevant response,
Kiruthika S

Sasi,
If we have two files with the same name then what do you want to do? It is the same scenario here? If you dont check the overwrite existing file option then it can write the file also. If you check then it will overwrite. If you dont want this then you can add the timestamp to the existing file. Else you have to make sure of the naming conventions of the file.

Any news about Mountain Lion not closing open files / folders on smb server shares?

Hey Apple, anyone listening?
Are there any new about this issue, where Mac clients cannot move/edit/rename each others files and folders on a smb server share? We are a graphics work group in an otherwise Windows-centered enterprise. We have mac clients with OS X 10.5.8, 10.6.8, and recently 10.8.5. None of the older clients can work with files or folders created by the new machine, meaning that InDesign files will open read only, files and folders cannot be moved or renamed. This is absolutely critical in a flexible work environment, where any graphics designer must be able to jump into any other project on short notice.
As mentioned in other threads around the web, this seems to be a problem not with file permissions but with the finder not releasing/closing files and folders correctly when not actually in use. (a known issue is the fact, that i.e. Acrobat pdf must not be viewed in column views preview, if anyone else wants to overwrite that file, but this issue here goes much further). We urgently need a fix for that!
I'm really desparate about this topic, since the IT-department is already reluctant to offer mac support and to look into these problems; if there is no solution to this, we will be switched to windows workstations by the end of the year ... Apple, do you want that? We surely don't!
A frustrated user

Hi,
thanks for your answer. Does that mean, that there is a solution to this on the server side? Is this ACL stuff a matter of setting up the server correctly, rather than a problem with mountain lion's networking?
If i could be sure about this, I would approach our IT department... (the are just waiting for some Mac User pestering them ) ...

Crystal Server 2013: How to troubleshoot "Can not create temp file---- Error code:-2147215357"

We have a Java7 web app, which generate PDF report by calling Crystal Server 2013 SP4.
The app is being deployed on many different servers. We sometimes got the error below when generating report:
com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.lib.ReportSDKException: Can not create temp file---- Error code:-2147215357 [CRSDK00000615] Error code name:internal
at com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.application.PrintOutputController.controllerExportInternal(PrintOutputController.java:280)
at com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.application.PrintOutputController.export(PrintOutputController.java:152)
at com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.application.PrintOutputController.export(PrintOutputController.java:130)
at com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.application.PrintOutputController.export(PrintOutputController.java:113)
Problem is, this seems to be a pretty generic exception. It could be caused by many different reasons.
e.g. network connection problem, wrong DB login, wrong folder path, lack of folder access right, etc.
Each time we could only guess what's wrong.
We are running into it again, and this time everything seems correctly configured so far.
We wonder if there are more info we can get to troubleshoot? For example, any log file of Crystal Server we should look into? Or does Crystal Server has debug mode which prints more details to tell us what goes wrong?

Hi Henry,
I believe you are using RAS SDKs to export the reports to PDF.
Apply trace on RAS server and check what you find in RAS logs.
Check whether you can see timeout error is RAS logs. Usually if connection is lost and the RAS server no more have the session to write to the temp directory, we do see these errors.
Also, does the account that runs RAS have permissions to create a file in RAS's default temp directory? Are you getting any out of memory or out of disk space exceptions on App server or RAS, tracing RAS server is the way to move forward.

How to configure tracing, and where are RAS logs? Is it configured in CMC --> Servers --> Crystal Report Services?

Pretty sure yes.

Not on App server.
For RAS, that's the problem, I am not sure where to look.......

Login settings will not update local testing server files

When uploading to web server from local testing server, changing login settings in the control panel does not update the local testing server files. Causing login on website not to function.
It does however update the Connections file and login wizard form.
What is the best way to change login settings before uploading site to web server?

Dan - I am having the same exact problem. I'm using the restrict access and user registration and login - when attempting to use the Update Record wizard to allow users to change their password or email address, it doesn't change the record.
