This would be the way, correct?

I am new to this, so want to make sure I got it rigth?
Thanks for looking into this

Compressing directory with archive tar command error

Hi
I need to backup an AP IOS to a TFTP server, I use the archive tar /create command according to the cisco documentation and I get an error

Archive (tar)

Hi,
I want to archive below directory
ex: /home/oracle/dd0
sub-directories in dd0
/home/oracle/dd0/backup/backup1
/home/oracle/dd0/backup/backup2
/home/oracle/dd0/dmp
....etc
I want a command(tar) which will let me archive the above directory excluding *.dmp(dump files), *.log(log files) in that directory & in the sub-directories also.
So the archived file doesn't have *.dmp(dump files), *.log(log files) in it.
Pls reply ASAP.
thanks

Hi,
this is exmaple, adjust by yourself (pay attention to "." before ">")
tar -zcvpf ./bck_file.tar.gz directory /home/my_dir/ exclude=*.dmp --exclude=*.log . > ./log_file.log 2>&1

Integration Directory: Archiving in the Processing Parameters

Is it possible to archive to multiple folders in FTP via XI?
Looks like XI will only let you archive into one folder after you've renamed it with a timestamp in the processing parameters.
We are loooking at a way to rename the folders (by store number and time stamp) and archive these files into multiple archive folders.
Is this at all possible in XI?
Thank-You.

Hi,
Using OS command and by executing the shell script you can acheive this,
btw, are you talking of archiving these files for BackUp strategy..If so, i suggest, to use some of the standard mechanism to archive these files. Not just moving the files from one directory to another.
If the requirement to just move these files, then you can plan for batch job/shells cript etc

Migrating an Open Directory Archive from 10.6.8 to 10.8.5 on new hardware.

Hi all,
We have an old 10.6.8 server running OD and WGM. Lots of users, groups, settings and so on. We want to migrate the entire directory to a new 10.8.5 server and continue to run with WGM for now. Does anyone have a successful method for this? Note that the old server must retain its current IP. We're thinking something along the lines of:
1) Make OD archive on current 10.6.8 server.
2) Shut down server temporarily.
3) Set IP of new 10.8.5 server to match 10.6.8 server and import OD archive.
4) Change ip of new server accordingly and run changeip script.
5) Turn 10.6.8 server back on.
6) Gradually migrate clients to new server.
7) Gradually migrate to Profile Manager.
Has anyone else managed this without too many problems? If there were problems, what were they and how did you resolve them?
Thanks,

What we've actually found since posting this is a whole load of other problems and bugs (some have been officially acknowledged now) with server 10.7/10.8/10.9. I think the changeip script is now defunct too. The migration itself actually worked ok a couple of times for us but we've now got 10.8 and 10.9 servers with directory issues all over the place regardless - even ones that were built from scratch and not migrated...

[ENG/PT-BR] Configure "Scan To..." by HP directory archives

Hello, I work at a retail company, and I need to know if is it posssible to configure the "Scan To..." properties (TWAIN ON/OFF; image resolution/dpi; dimensions) of the HP LaserJet M1212nf MFP by opening on notepad a config archive with the profile saved. The questions are: 1) Is it possible?2) If It is, where is the config archive?3) Can I copy the archive to every franchise (about 80)?

In reality I couldn't print either. Not sure what really fixed it, but it seemed that adding hpoj from AUR and rebooting did it. I then readded the printer and now all works.

Populating Users With Open Directory Archive

I have a New 10.8.2 Lion server that I would like to bring all the 10.7.5 users over. what is the best way to do this. It seems that the 10.7.5 arcive is not compatable with 10.8.2. Any ideas would be great. I can't upgrade the 10.7.5 system becuase its an an old system.

Didn't find a way to edit my post above.

Automator workflow to TAR multiple files in a single directory into multiple TAR archives, in succession?

Good afternoon,
I have set up an automator service that TAR's a folder into an archive for me and it works quite nicely. Idealy however, I would like to be able to highlight several folders, right click and have automator tar each folder into it's own TAR archive, but do it one by one.
Example:
FOLDER 01
FOLDER 02
FOLDER 03
Highlight all - Right Click - "TAR Folder" - Automator takes over at this point and TARs each one into:
FOLDER 01.tar (Once complete moves onto:)
FOLDER 02.tar (Once complete moves onto:)
FOLDER 03.tar (Finished)
I'm not 100% sure so I guess it would be a good time to verify, is there a problem with having the system try to TAR multiple folders at one time? If it is not a problem then I guess this discussion itself is pointless and I can simple right click on each folder and select "TAR Folder" and just wait until they're all finished. I would think that it would be ideal for the system to do each one individually and not try to do them all at one time.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you!!

I don't think I have the following totally fleshed out but you probably can extrapolate on it. This is a service which you can right click a set of folders and it will tar the files within those selected folders with then file names "name xxx.tar", where name is the tar'ed file/folder and xxx is a count within the folder.
I think that is what you originally specified so I am a bit confused by your script with the bit about Archive.tar.
Anyway here the basic idea:
I ran the script directly with a folder argument just to see it indeed tar's up all the stuff inside, one tar per item.

[solved] Can no longer untar AUR packages with tar xvf /directory/

For about a year now I've used this line of code from my .bash_aliases file to untar files from their source directory to the one I am currently CDed in at that moment:
alias tarx='tar xvf' # extracts files from a tarball using tar [e]x[tract] v[erbose] f[orced]
This alias failed to work a few weeks ago for some unknown reason and now spits out this error:
tarx /media/aur/srcpackages/atom-editor.tar.gz ./

I seem to have a larger problem on my desktop machine. When I try to untar stuff on that one it creates a .cache directory for some weird reason and populates it with, I think, cached files from my home directory. It ends up having firefox, mc and other cached files in the new directory and then tar just errors out with:
gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file
tar: Unexpected EOF in archive
tar: Unexpected EOF in archive
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
Very odd behaviour and I'm assuming some config file somewhere is responsible for this behaviour. But where else can I look apart from .bashrc?
@ids1024, I'll do what you've what you suggested on my netbook later today and record the information to post afterward.
[edit] Here are the contents of that .cache directory, if it helps:
dconf event-sound-cache.tdb.silver_yunzi.x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu event-sound-cache.tdb.tengen.x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu fontconfig mc dmenu_run

Tar extract file in particular directory excluding path stored in tar file

In winzip you have chk box 'Use Foldername', if you uncheck it, all files will be extracted to path given in Extract to:
Like winzip, do you have facility to extract files from tar file to a particular directory ignoring path stored in tar file.
os - linux,unix
regds

Using -C <new_directory> options creates
subdirectories under the new_directory as per path
stored in tar file
I just want to extract the files in the -C directory.
e.g.
# tar -tvf archive.tar
-rw-r----- oracle/oinstall 4669440 2006-11-30
13:23:02 /app/fmb/FORM1.fmb
-rw-r----- oracle/oinstall 200704 2006-11-29
10:18:25 /app/fmb/FORM2.fmb
when i give following command
tar -xvf archive.tar -C TargetDir
creats subdirectory app/fmb in this TargetDir and
then extract the files Forms1.fmb
TargetDir/app/fmb/FORM1.fmb
TargetDir/app/fmb/FORM2.fmb.
where as i want FORM1.fmb and FORM2.fmb in TargetDir
TargetDir/FORM1.fmb
TargetDir/FORM2.fmb
regdsit's include directory information when you run tar cvf.
you can do the following action
1. cd /app/fmb/
2. tar cvf archive.tar *
3. tar -xvf archive.tar -C TargetDir

Tar: Unexpected EOF in archive for Oracle-E-Business-Suite-12.2.3-VISION-INSTALL

Hi All,
System = Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (64 bit)
I downloaded Oracle EBS Vision instance from Oracle eDelivery.
File Name = Oracle-E-Business-Suite-12.2.3-VISION-INSTALL.ova.00
File Type = Archive
There are 14 others files like the same and they have been successfully extracted. This is the first file out of the 15 total files.
I am unable to extract the above file.
Steps Performed
1. Initially, I tried to extract directly. I got the error
Could not open "Oracle-E-Business-Suite-12.2.3-VISION-INSTALL.ova.00"
Archive Type not supported
2. Then I renamed the file to "Oracle-E-Business-Suite-12.2.3-VISION-INSTALL.ova.00.tar" and tried to do the following
$ tar xvf Oracle-E-Business-Suite-12.2.3-VISION-INSTALL.ova.00.tar
Oracle-E-Business-Suite-12.2.3-VISION-INSTALL.ovf
Oracle-E-Business-Suite-12.2.3-VISION-INSTALL-disk1.vmdk
tar: Unexpected EOF in archive
tar: Unexpected EOF in archive
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
Now the above two downloaded files Oracle-E-Business-Suite-12.2.3-VISION-INSTALL.ovf and Oracle-E-Business-Suite-12.2.3-VISION-INSTALL-disk1.vmdk are of unknown file type.
Ideally I should have got a file = Oracle-E-Business-Suite-12.2.3-VISION-INSTALL.ova.00 (File Type = Program) like all other 14 files and as per the installation steps that I see in the videos for the installation.
Can anyone help me on this?
Thanks,
Niladri

Localconfig is not found out in the new grid Oracle_HOME

Hi There,
Ifollowed the metalink Note ID 736121.1 to upgrad ASM for Non-RAC from 10gr2 to 11gr2. The 11gr2 Grid installation is successful, which is on a different directory from the current ASM directory. What I did for insallation is software only installation. However, when I'm doing step 4 in the Note, localconfig is not found out in the now Grid home directory(/ora/fs0000/app/grid/11.2.0/bin). even no DBUA is found out either. I'm unable to upgrade ASM for non-RAC from 10r2 to 11gr2.
With the successful installation of 11rr2 grid, the CSS is running in 11gr2, but No DBUA is found out in the new Grid Oracle_HOME directory.
