Open file error when filename contains particular characters

In windows platform, when i try to open a file when the filename contains uncommon chars, such as ’ (different than ' ), the call to OpenFile returns false.
The filename is a wchar_t* , and I've tried any flavour of conversion to char* using WideCharToMultiByte, with no success.
Any hint?
Does the toolkit (5.5.0) support extended character set ?

There seems to be an issue here that neither MS nor we were aware of. The WinPhone SDK that we are using has a flaw, and does not properly translate all of the international characters from the source app to our application. By the time we get the pathname from the OS it has been garbled. We are using a special SDK from MS that allows us to use our native C++ rendering engine on the device, and apparently that special SDK is where the problem lies.
We have a partial fix awaiting Microsoft Review Approval, but it is currently hung up because our app does not work on Windows Phone 8. The special SDK we had to use for our Windows Phone 7 app is not supported by Windows Phone 8, and we need to get the store approval team to grant an exception for our continued updates.
I say this all not to rationalize, but to at least communicate to you what the status is.

Reader fails to open mail attachment when filename contains non-us characters

Tested reader with 2 identical pdf attachments in email (same pdf, different filename). If filename contains, in this case, scandinavian characters like ä or ö (auml or ouml), reader flags error "The file path is not valid". This is a serious error, there is no other easy way to read to attachment on the road.

PDF created in CS6 now produces a "Cannot Open File" error when I try to reopen it :(

I created a file in Illustrator CS6 (v. 16.0.0), and saved it as an (editable) PDF. When I try to reopen that same PDF inside Illustrator CS6, however, I get a "Could Not Open The File" error.
The file opens in Acrobat just fine, but I need to continue editing/working on it. Opening it in 5.1 works but it's all flat and not ideal for editing. Renaming the extension to .eps or .ai didn't work, either. I also looked into potential font conflicts (none) and restarted my Mac (OS 10.7.5) to no avail.
Thoughts/suggestions most welcome!

Illustrator is not designed to be a pdf editor, so save a .ai file backup always.
A restart, as you did, of Illustrator or your mac will allow you to open the .pdf, or resetting your font cache with fontnuke.
Update to 16.04, and especially check if acrobat needs updating.
I have had and so have others problems with making .pdfs if you do not have a printer chosen, usually you get an error could not save .pdf but check you have a printer chosen in system preferences >> Print & Scan .

For the benefit of anyone who experiences this error in IIS7, the IUSR_xxx user no longer exists. You must grant permissions to "IIS APPPOOL\hfmAppPool" instead (select the local machine as the "Location" if Windows Explorer complains).
Similarly, for the benefit of those who get the error in HFM 11.1.2.1, security must be applied to the Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\product\FinancialManagement\Web folder.

"Cannot Open File" error when generating CHM

Hello,
We have a small help file that we have in our source control
(StarTeam), and it's built on a daily basis. It hasn't been updated
in quite a while, so it was a surprise that it suddenly generated
the following error during the weekend build:
Cannot open the file
"b:\Document\HelpFile\!SSL!\Microsoft_HTML_Help\!chm_tmp_folder_0\HelpFile.hhc".
The CHM is normally built by running RH 7 via a command line
in StarTeam. I tested it today by running it manually and received
the same error. When I click "OK" on the error message, it
continues building and finishes with the normal "view/close"
message.
Anyone have an idea as to what may have caused this issue?
The immediate puzzle is to what changed that would have caused this
error, as we haven't updated this help file in several months (so
there shouldn't be any changes within the help file).
And to pre-empt the usual first response, we have a copy of
RH 7 on the build machine itself, so it shouldn't be a "running
over a network" issue. ;*)

Quick update: I had the chance today to check out the files
and build them locally on my machine with my copy of RH7.
It appears to build normally for me, and I'm not getting the
error message being generated on the build machine.
This leads me to think something on the machine has changed,
but I'm still at a loss as to what it might possibly be.

Could not open file error on Copy Express

Hi Experts,
Im using Copy Express to copy Item Master from origin db to target db.
Right now, I am only copying 1 item (I have tried several and a variety, but still the same) and I hit a "Could not open file" error, it has some chinese characters. And I cant make out what is the meaning or why the error is appearing.
Before this error, I also see a "XML ERROR" on the status that dissappear very quickly upon showing. Then next is this error message.
[Click here to view screenshot|http://www.flickr.com/photos/45736280@N07/5077898618/sizes/l/in/photostream/]
Please help and Thanks!
Warmest Regards,
Chinho

Hi,
The item is able to copy using copy express but you must make sure that there is no exclamation sign before run it.
The maximum item can be copied is limited in the copy express. it is just only 2,000 items.
I suggest to use data transfer workbench.

Error 7 open file+.vi when opening multiple csv files

Hi,
I it was interesting (and frustrating) that I, intermitantly, got the open file error #7 when I was sitting in a loop opening csv files using ReadFromSpreadsheet file.vi. The ReadFromSpreadsheetFile.vi is a higher level vi which should open the file, read the number of specified lines, then close the file afterwards. IT reads the csv files correctly for one iteration of the outside loop (reads one line from 45 .csv files) then it gives the open file error the second time I try to read them. Perhaps the file is not being closed correctly on the first iteration? This only happens about half the time, and always on the second iteration.

Any Help is much apreciated.

Hello Greg,
Error 7 indicates the file could not be found - are you moving or deleting files somewhere in your sequence? It's actually better to use dataflow to control your "sequence" of events than to use a sequence structure. It looks like you are building your paths programmatically as well, so that could be part of the problem... you could be building a path to a file which doesn't always exist! I would suggest setting some breakpoints and probes, so you can check your file system against the file paths you're building in your code at strategic times and places. This way hopefully you'll find that the file you're trying to access doesn't exist at the time you're trying to access it - after that it's just a matter of tidying up the logic a bit to make sure that doesn't happen. If you find that file does exist, and you think this is a bug, try to filter out all the unnecessary code so that you have something very simple, and I'll try to reproduce it!

Cannot insert Captivate Demo - filename contains illegal characters

RoboHelp HTML v8 on XPpro. Captivate v4.
I have created a simple Captivate v4 application demo and published to SWF.
In my RHhtmlv8 project, I create a new topic, and choose Insert > Adobe Captivate Demo.
The Insert dialog allows me to select my SWF file. It shows it in the Insert dialog and starts to play it.
No matter what my SWF filename is (e.g. abc.swf, video1.swf, etc.), when I click the OK button in the Insert dialog, I get the error:
'Unable to rename file, "abc.swf". The filename contains illegal characters.'
I have searched the forums here and find no solution.
How do you get support from this company? I went to the support link and it only showed Captivate as an option, even though I have a valid license for RH8 and have registered it. Yet - for 2 days now, I have not heard back from any support via that mechanism.
Jeff

Hi Jeff
When you attempt to insert the demo, by chance do you still have the project open in the Captivate editor? If so, you likely need to close it there before attempting to insert into RoboHelp. I've seen all manner of weirdness with this.
Another thing that seems to have happened recently that is worth looking at. When you Published your Captivate demo, did you Publish as AS2 or AS3? (For those that may wonder, AS refers to ActionScript. Similar to JavaScript and is the Flash programming language.)
I've begun to notice issues with inserting Captivate content where I have published as AS3.
Let us know... Rick

How to store SP2-0310: unable to open file errors in log file

We are using oracle 10g on Linux platform.
When we send scripts to the clients, then we also send a control file that executes all the sql files e.g.
control.sql
SPOOL test.log
SELECT 'Start of Control File at:'||systimestamp from dual;
SPOOL OFF
@./dbscripts/00_insert_scripts.sql
SPOOL test.log APPEND
SELECT 'End of Control File at:'||systimestamp from dual;
SPOOL OFFThe scripts are executed from SqlPlusW only by typing @control.sql
The problem is that when SP2-0310: unable to open file error comes, it appears on the screen only. It does not go in the test.log file. Is there any way to store these errors in a file from SQLPlusW.
Thanks.

try mentioning full path....
try
@<fully qualified path>/00_insert_scripts.sql
also check if the file has necessary permission
ls -l <fully qualified path>/00_insert_scripts.sql

Intermittent too many open files error and Invalid TLV error

Post Author: jam2008
CA Forum: General
I'm writing this up in the hopes of saving someone else a couple of days of hair-pulling...
Environment: Crystal Reports XI Enterprise / also runtime via Accpac ERP 5.4
Invalid TLV error in Accpac
"too many open files" error in event.log file
Situation:
Invalid TLV error occurs seemingly randomly on report created in CR Professional 11. Several days of troubleshooting finally lead to the following diagnosis:
This error occurs in a report that contains MORE THAN 1 bitmap image.
The error only shows up after 20 or more reports have been generated sequentially, WITHOUT CLOSING the application that is calling the report. In our case the Invoice Report dialog within Accpac. This same error occurred in a custom 3rd party VB.NET app that also called the report through an Accpac API.

after getting this message you need to do 2 things:
1. delete the current workspace because it contains some bad data in one the config files - failure to delete the workspace will result the error message to appear even if trying to upload a single file.
2. add to DTR files in groups - no more than 500 in a single add.

RapidMarts - "Open file error" R3C-150607 loading from file

Hello experts.
We are installing RapidMarts for the SA-module, but when executing the main workflow in Data services we get an error trying to load the file dates.dat.
The generated ABAP looks just fine, and the file exists where it should be (in SAP working directory), but still not able to load it.
This is the error msg:
Data flow DF TimeDim SAP - Execute ABAP program <E:/RM generated ABAP dir/TimeDim.aba> error > Open File Error -- E:/RM Working directory/dates.dat>.
We have the following setup:
Windows server
MS SQLserver 2005 database
SAP BO Dataservices v12.2.9.0
SAP BO RapidMarts for v12.2.0
Any good ideas on how to fix this?
Thanks in advance!
Best regards,
IngA

Hi again.
The problem is solved.
When configuring the R3 datastore in Dataservices we assigned the different directories (working dir, generated ABAP dir etc.) on a server that's NOT our R3-server.
When we changed this to use folders on our SAP-server it works just fine (for this at least)
Cheers, IngA

Error: 'InfoObject ZDATE contains invalid characters in record 1 in value'

Dear friends,
When I am uploading data from oracle datasource (in BW 3.5) I am getting an error 'InfoObject ZDATE contains invalid characters in record 1 in value'. There are no illegal characters in the date instead the date field is blank in datasource. There are other date fields technically the same as ZDATE with blank values but they dont throw an error when scheduler runs.
Though when I manually upload the data, it's loaded successfully.
Please suggest where can the error be?
Regards,
Amit Srivastava

You have 2 options:
1. Corect your data for the characteristics that give errors.
Or
2. go to SPRO in BW - Netweaver - BW - general settings - maintain permitted characters.
In this screen, you maain tain any special characteristic that you the system to recognise and accept. In your case, take your characteristics that give error and add to this.

Cannot Open File error - tried what I know

I have received the dreaded Cannot Open File error. Usually I can manage to recover the file by deleting the lock file or recovering from a backup. This time, nothing is working.
I've searched the forum, and while many people have this issue I cannot find a solution.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Hi,
Have you checked this article for steps to recover a project from Cache. (Adobe Captivate Cache Projects folder from My Documents)
http://blogs.adobe.com/captivate/2010/09/recovering-the-project.html
For Future, make sure you have the option to create project Backup on save automatically at the same location where your project is saved. (Edit--Preferences--General-- Generate Project backup)
Thanks,
Anjaneai
