Oracle BAM to monitor transfer of files using sockets

Hi,
We have two programs transferring files using sockets. We wanted BAM to monitor the transfer.
Would you please suggest if this is achievable in BAM , and if so , any pointers to how we may go about implementing it .
Cheers,
Anant.

You could generate success/failure/progress from your utility to JMS or call BAM webservices to populate BAM Data Objects. Reports could be built on top of that.

Oracle BAM Plan Monitor does not start

Hello all,
the Oracle BAM Plan Monitor does not start in when I execute the start scripts.
It tells my that the name of the service is invalid.
Is there any possibility to check on the configuration for that service name?
I have also checked on the event log of my Windows machine. There are a couple of strange entries coming from the Oracle BAM Engine:
EventEngine: ADC Context exception ADC Server exception in GetUserGroups(): 2.
ActiveDataCache: Caught exception while validating user NT-AUTORITÄT\SYSTEM: The RPC-Server is not available
Maybe someone has a clue how to resolve this issue.

Hi
Are you using a valid user name and passwd to access the plan monitor?
Did you set up a user called 'BAM' in your Enterprise Link? Normally this user will get created automaticaly while installing BAM. If it doesnt exist, you will have to create a user called BAM in EL with a blank password.
Please follow the post installation document, that is having more details.
Thanks

I have been using AOL for many years as my ISP but now I want to close my account and use iCloud. My challenge is I don't want to lose five years worth of emails and attachments saved in AOL personal folders. Can I can transfer the files using iCloud?

Do you receive AOL mail in the Mail app or on the website?

I take a .NEF file and a .JPG file with every click. When I transfer the files using a flash drive to another computer I never get all of the files to transfer. I get some of the .NEF and some of the .JPGs but not all

I take a .NEF file and a .JPG file with every click. When I transfer the files using a flash drive to another computer I never get all of the files to transfer. I get some of the .NEF and some of the .JPGs but not all. How come?

If you're exporting a project then you'll only get the images in that project. Also if any of the masters are referenced then you won't get those masters unless you check Consolidate masters into exported library
It might be best if you started from the beginning and explained what it is your are trying to do and how you're going about doing it. Also a description of you're hardware/software setup would be helpful.

Downloading a binary file using sockets without length known

Hi all,
I'm trying to download a binary(.exe) file using socket, where the length of the file is not known. Please take a look at the code I'm using:
      var readBin = socketBin.read();
     <-- Here comes the code that checks for http Content-length header field
     ; If content-length field is available, then I'll use it to download file, else proceed with following code -->
    pBar.reset("Downloading plugin..",null);pBar.hit(readBin.length);
            while (1)
                binFil.write(readBin);     //'binFil' is the file, into which downloaded file is written.
                readBin = socketBin.read();
                pBar.hit(readBin.length);
                if( socketBin.eof || readBin.length<=0){
                    break;}
            binFil.write(readBin);
            binFil.close();
            socketBin.close();
Problem is: I'm able to download file within 10 seconds when content-length is known. But when content-length is not known, its taking about 1 and half minute to download, also the progress bar gets struck for much of time.
FYI: socket is opened in binary mode, file is getting downloaded correctly(even though it takes abt a minute). BTW Im using CS5.5 extendscript
I'm not able to figure out where the bug is.

Hi, Srikanth:
Sevaral points.
#1 When posting code, please use the web interface and the >> icon and choose Syntax Highlighting >> Java. Otherwise your code is just too hard to read and gets misformatted.
#2 Apropos of #1, your script as written does not work, because this line:
url=url.replace(/([a-z]*):\/\/([-\._a-z0-9A-Z]*)(:[0-9]*)?\/?(.*)/,"$ 1/$2/$3/$4");
has an extra space in the $1 and should be this:
url=url.replace(/([a-z]*):\/\/([-\._a-z0-9A-Z]*)(:[0-9]*)?\/?(.*)/,"$1/$2/$3/$4");
Please take an extra moment to make sure that when you asking for help, you do so in a way that makes sense. Otherwise it takes too much effort to help you, and that is frustrating.
#3 If we instrument your script by adding a line to the while() loop:
            while (1)
                binFil.write(readBin);
                readBin = socketBin.read();
                $.writeln(Date()+" Read "+readBin.length+" chars, eof is "+socketBin.eof);
                if( readBin.length<=0){         break;}
We get output like this:
Mon Jul 11 2011 12:06:56 GMT-0400 Read 1024 chars, eof is false
Mon Jul 11 2011 12:06:56 GMT-0400 Read 1024 chars, eof is false
Mon Jul 11 2011 12:06:56 GMT-0400 Read 1024 chars, eof is false
Mon Jul 11 2011 12:06:56 GMT-0400 Read 631 chars, eof is false
Mon Jul 11 2011 12:07:06 GMT-0400 Read 0 chars, eof is false
Result: undefined
Therefore, we can reasonably conclude that the last read at the end of the data stream returns a short read when the other side blocks.
Unfortunately, that's clearly insufficient since you can get short reads all the time.
I'm not sure why you say the length of the file is not known, HTTP provides it to you in the Content-Length field of the response.
But the easy answer is to get the server to close it for you. This is easy, enough, with Connection: close. Why were you specifying
Connection: keep-alive, anyhow?:
            var requestBin =
            "GET /" + parsedURLBin.path + " HTTP/1.1\n" +
            "Host: " + parsedURLBin.address + "\n" +
            "User-Agent: InDesign ExtendScript\n" +
            "Accept: */*\n" +
            //"Connection: keep-alive\n\n";
            "Connection: close\n"+
            "\n";
This yields a nice tidy:
Mon Jul 11 2011 12:26:19 GMT-0400 Read 1024 chars, eof is false
Mon Jul 11 2011 12:26:19 GMT-0400 Read 1024 chars, eof is false
Mon Jul 11 2011 12:26:19 GMT-0400 Read 1024 chars, eof is false
Mon Jul 11 2011 12:26:19 GMT-0400 Read 735 chars, eof is true
Mon Jul 11 2011 12:26:19 GMT-0400 Read 0 chars, eof is true
I suspect you're also better off using something like socketBin.read(64*1024) for a 64k buffer size, but it doesn't seem to effect the on-the-wire protocol, so perhaps its not so important.

Send a picture file using sockets

Hi,
Could someone please tell me how I can send a picture file using sockets across a TCP/IP network? I have managed to do it by converting the file into a byte array and then sending it but I dont see the data back at the client when I recieve the file. I just see the byte array as having size 0 at client.
Byte array size is correct at client side.
//client code
System.out.println("Authenticating client");
          localServer = InetAddress.getLocalHost();
          AuthConnection = new Socket(localServer,8189);
          out = new PrintWriter(AuthConnection.getOutputStream());
          InputStream is = AuthConnection.getInputStream();
          System.out.println(is.available());
          byte[] store = new byte[is.available()];
          is.read(store);
     ImageIcon image = new ImageIcon(store);
          JLabel background = new JLabel(image);
          background.setBounds(0, 0, image.getIconWidth(), image.getIconHeight());
          getLayeredPane().add(background, new Integer(Integer.MIN_VALUE));
//extra code here
          catch (UnknownHostException e) {
System.err.println("Don't know about host: LocalHost");
System.exit(1);
          catch (IOException e) {
System.err.println("Couldn't get I/O for "
+ "the connection to: LocalHost");
System.exit(1);
//server code
               DataOutputStream out = new DataOutputStream(incoming.getOutputStream());
               FileInputStream fin = new FileInputStream("3trees.gif");
               byte[] b = new byte[fin.available()];
               int ret = fin.read(b);
               out.write(b);

i used OutputStream as
OutputStream out = incoming.getOutputStream(); and flushed the stream too.
But I still get the same output on the client side. I tried sending a string and it works , but I cant seem to be able to populate the byte array on the client side. It keeps showing zero. Please advise.
Thank you.

Moving Files using sockets

I wanted to know of a good way to move, not copy, files using sockets? Any help would be great.
Thanks

Even on the same machine, you can only move a file on the same filesystem. i.e. the file appears in a different directory rather than copying the file.
If you have an C: and D: drive for example it will copy and delete the file on a move.
Unix allows you to have symbolic links which can make a file/directory from anywhere appear anywhere on your filesystem. It does not copy or actaully move the file, it just appears to be where ever you choose.

Can I monitor a Log file using EMGC 10.2.0.2?

Hi,
I am thinking of monitoring my web application log file using EMGC by creating a generic service is that possible. Now we are using some shell scripts to do that but its bit difficult to maintain all these shell scripts on each of the host. Is there any in built in mechanism that enable me to monitor the log file and when a perticular pattern match I would like to send a email notification to concerned people say application admins if there is no out of box option for this do we have plugins to do this. please let me know the possibility of implementing this using EMGC or extencibility plug-ins.
Ashok Chava.

Hi,
I have used "Log File Pattern Matched Line Count" of host to monitor the log files and below is the pattern I have defined for the log file. But i could not find any alerts even there are so many such exceptions in the log file matching the patteren given in EMGC.
/u01/app/oracle/product/IAS904/sysman/log/emias.log;%oracle.sysman.emSDK.util.jdk.EMException;%
I have even add the log file in agent_home/sysman/config/lfm_ifiles file as given in the documentation but I could not see any alerts as expected am I doint anything wrong in my setup.
Please let me know.
Thanks,

How to Transfer files using socket remote method invocation?

hello guys,
i am working on java sockets...and i need to send and receive files though Java RMI. how will i go with it....
Please do help me in this regard
Edited by: sandeep_genevsoftech on Apr 4, 2008 4:32 AM

I am also developing a similar application of file transfer but using sockets in place of RMI.The file gets transfered if i run client and server on same m/c(as localhost),but shows "access denied" if run on different m/c.I suppose some security policies need to be set.Can anybody help?

Ahire sharad

ahire, if what you want is to transfer a file over a socket here's an example of a sender. If you need the reciever code too, let me know.
public void run()
          FileInputStream inFile = null;
          try
               Boolean done = false;
               int inByte;
               inFile = new FileInputStream(filename);
               byte[] byteBuffer = new byte[128000];
               while(!done)
                    inByte = inFile.read(byteBuffer, 0, byteBuffer.length);
                    if (inByte == -1)
                         done = true;
                    else
                         out.write(byteBuffer, 0, inByte);

Sending file using sockets (difficult)

Hi, i have the following section of code
(of which i am not claiming ownership) which
implements a DCC Send command from irc.
It accomplishes this using sockets, and while
i understand how the code accomplishes what it
does, i need help with a possible modification.
Basically what i am looking to do is keep track
of the progress of the send - so that the
user can at any time see how much of the file
has been sent and how much is remaining.
If anyone has done such a thing in the past or
has a good idea as to how this should be implemented,
i would be greatful for their help.
Here is the code:
new Thread() {
            public void run() {
                try {
                    ServerSocket ss = new ServerSocket(0);
                    ss.setSoTimeout(timeout);
                    int port = ss.getLocalPort();
                    //byte[] ip = ss.getInetAddress().getAddress();
                    byte[] ip = InetAddress.getLocalHost().getAddress();
                    long ipNum = 0;
                    long multiplier = 1;
                    for (int i = 3; i >= 0; i--) {
                        int byteVal = (ip[i] + 256) % 256;
                        ipNum += byteVal*multiplier;
                        multiplier *= 256;
                    // Rename the filename so it has no whitespace in it when we send it.
                    // .... I really should do this a bit more nicely at some point ....
                    String safeFilename = file.getName().replace(' ', '_');
                    safeFilename = safeFilename.replace('\t', '_');
                    // Send the message to the user, telling them where to connect to in order to get the file.
                    sendCTCPCommand(nick, "DCC SEND " + safeFilename + " " + ipNum + " " + port + " " + file.length());
                    // The client may now connect to us and download the file.
                    Socket socket = ss.accept();
                    socket.setSoTimeout(30000);
                    // Might as well close the server socket now; it's finished with.
                    ss.close();
                    BufferedOutputStream output = new BufferedOutputStream(socket.getOutputStream());
                    BufferedInputStream input = new BufferedInputStream(socket.getInputStream());
                    BufferedInputStream finput = new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream(file));
                    byte[] outBuffer = new byte[bufferSize];
                    byte[] inBuffer = new byte[4];
                    int bytesRead = 0;
                    while ((bytesRead = finput.read(outBuffer, 0, outBuffer.length)) != -1) {
                        output.write(outBuffer, 0, bytesRead);
                        output.flush();
                        input.read(inBuffer, 0, inBuffer.length);
                    output.close();
                    input.close();
                    log("+++ DCC SEND Completed to " + nick + " (" + file.getPath() + ")");
                }

You already have the necessary code to find the number of bytes sent at any point during the transmission. You can find out the size of the file by instantiating a RandomAccessFile before you send it, and querying for the file length.
I suggest you make the file size and bytes sent volatile and conveniently accessible to another thread (best implemented here as an inner class?). Your new thread will need to monitor the file transfer at intervals to update the progress indicator. You can generate estimates of time remaining by measuring the average transmission rate, and extrapolating using the total file size. Classically this is done using an average, but you might be better just maintaining a list of fairly recent samples, allowing for the speed swings inherent in internet connections.
How you update the progress indicator from your monitor thread is up to you. I suggest exposing methods in the UI for setting the progress and time remaining, and simply update them from the monitor.
Does this help any?

Reading / Writing files using Sockets

Hi there guys,
I am fairly new to this forum. I have been having a problem for the past three days. I am implementing a client/server implementation using Sockets which is a submodule of a project I am working on. What I want is that a files content are read and transferred over the network to the server that writes it down to a different file .
What the code presently does is :
<<<<Client Code >>>>
It reads a file input.txt and sends the content over the network to the server.
<<<< Server Code >>>
It reads the incoming data from the client and writes the data out to a file called output.txt
What I want now is that the server should read the file output.txt and send the contents to the client which reads it and then writes it down as a new file called serverouput.txt . After that I want to compare and see of the size of input.txt and serveroutput.txt . If both are same that means that data has been written reliably to the server.
I have been trying to implement it for a long time and nothing seems to work out. I am posting the code for both client and server below. Any help in finalising things would be really appreciated.

}

............................................. After that I want to
compare and see of the size of input.txt and
serveroutput.txt . If both are same that means that
data has been written reliably to the server.You don't need to do this. TCP/IP ensures the reliable transmition of data. By using a socket you are automaticaly sure that the data is reliably transmitted (Unless there is some sort of exception).
To get the size of the files you can use a File object. Look it up in java.io package in API documentation.
java-code-snippet (without error checking)
File clientFile = new File("input.txt");
clientFile.length();

I can not transfer the video,pictures using the blue tooth. Though mobile display says I pad paired,
But I pad is not connected to the mobile, even both places pass key is entered ok.

Transferring of files via Bluetooth on iOS is not supported. Bluetooth on the iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch is for the use of external keyboards, speakers earphones and accessories like those.

Printing Oracle Reports with values obtained from file using IO

Hi All,
We have decided to change the report writer tool from Brio SQR to Oracle Reports 6i. The design using Brio SQR was such that we used to populate all the values to be printed in a text file and then we use to populate the values in the BRIO reports using this file as an input.
We don't want to make many changes to the design at this stage. Can anybody suggest how can we use the text file as input to populate the different fields in the Oracle Reports.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Milind

Hi Miliand
Text Datasoucre is a Reports 9i feature. You can get the information on the feature overview at
http://otn.oracle.com/products/reports/content.html.
You will find the complete 9I Reports reference manuals on OTN soon

I have an existing CD edition of CS5 Master suit and want to install on my new computer that hasn't got a disc drive. Can I transfer the files using a external HD?

I've manage to install the first part (disc 1) using this method as it runs as a remote disc but disc 2 only contains a folder called payloads and it doesn't pick it up from my external HD while running the installer (does that make sense?) Is there a way of dragging and dropping these files into Adobe Utilities some how? I just don't want to have to go buy a 'plug in' CD drive for this one thing.
Thanks in anticipation,
Claire
