Overwriting a file woithout confirm

Hi LabViewers,
I have a file which I use temporarely and want to overwrite each time I
use it.
I use "Write Characters to File VI" with 'append to file' set false.
Problem: I have to confirm 'replace the existing file' each time - it
should be an autimatic system ;-)
Thanks for any hints

thanks- that's it!

Configure Firefox to confirm before overwriting a file

I and most of the world's population do not have the best internet connection. At times it would manifest itself in a download that never finish and has to be manually canceled. The problem arises when after a successful download instead of clicking the "open folder containing file" I accidentally click the "Retry" button from the failed download just below it.
Firefox would overwrite the successfully downloaded file without asking for a confirmation. This is especially vexing for larger files which has huge cost for the user both in wasted time and money.
While this can be avoided if the user has the "Always ask me where to save files" option selected, said option caused another hassle when downloading a large number of smaller files.
In short, my question is :
is there a way to ensure Firefox -always- asks for a confirmation before overwriting a file ?

Hi maladore,
I suppose if this is a common problem there may be an addon or utility that addresses this problem already. Try searching for download managers.
* For addons look in https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/extensions/download-management/
* For a brief feedback comment use https://input.mozilla.org/en-US/feedback
Someone may know of a good solution or addon.
You are in the wrong place if trying to suggest a Firefox enhancement, developers are not going to notice requests on this forum.
The people who answer questions here, for the most part, are other Firefox users volunteering their time (like me), not Mozilla employees or Firefox developers.
If you want to leave feedback for Firefox developers, you can go to the Firefox ''Help'' menu and select ''Submit Feedback...'' or use [https://input.mozilla.org/feedback this link]. (You'll need to be on the latest version of Firefox to submit feedback).

Overwriting the File in File Adapter

Hi All,
I hav a module processor (in Receiver file Adapter)which checks the existence of the file by name DOWN.flg befor writing the file by the same name at the same location. if the file already exists, then it has to wait until another system deletes (as per the requirement). if not, it has to write the file. I had done this successfully with an FTP receiver. but when i'm moving the same functionality to the local drive(now the receiver is a local directory on the XI Server), then i'm getting the following error.
Error:Attempt to process file failed with java.lang.Exception: Overwriting file '/cpe/data/DEV/XI_/IN/APD/Commander/DOWN.flg' not allowed due to configuration flag
Error:
Exception caught by adapter framework: Overwriting file '/cpe/data/DEV/XI_/IN/APD/Commander/DOWN.flg' not allowed due to configuration flag
these are the errors which i found in the audit log. i din't check the overwrite Existing File option in the Receiver adapter.Can anyone help me out in resolving this.
Anyhelp wud b greately apprecited...
Thnx in Advance.

Hello Jayakrishnan,
Thank you very much for the tip, actualy it was very tricky, since the overwrite existing file option is not possible in the "append" mode on my XI version (SP12). THis is what we have done :
- modify the communication channel to "create" mode and check the "overwrite existing file option".
- activate it
- chanche back to the "append" mode
- activate it again
And then it works !
Thanks for your help

File Overwriting in File Receiver Communication Channel

Hi,
I have an IDoc to File scenario.
My file receiver communication channel has the following parameters :
- File name scheme = %timestamp%_AOBSD4RL.MES
(I'm using variable substition and the variable "timestamp" is initialized at mapping time with the current time in format yyyyMMddHHmmss).
- File Construction Mode = Create
- Option "Overwrite Existing File" not activated
When two inbound messages result in the same target file name, the second one overwrites the first one although the "Overwirte Existing File" setting is not active in the receiver channel. Is this a bug in XI ? (I'm on 7.00 SP11)
And is it possible to say to the receiver channel to process only 1 message per second so there will no more target file with same name ?
Thanks in advance,
Laurence

Hi Laurence,
There is no such facility with Receiver File Adapter to process single message in one step.
I want to suggest you a may possible way to overcome( it's just an idea), though I never worked with them I think it will work.
As you the file name is assigned to message with timestamp at receiver communication channel step you can schedule the outbound queue in such a way that it will transfer the message in delay.
Try to investigate further more, But i m not sure that Queue Scheduling is supported by SP11 or not.

Shri

Problem in Overwriting the file in Receiver File adapter

Hi all,
I configured my scenario Proxy to File. Every day the back ground job runs in SAP and send all Employee Details to XI, XI then write it into File in XI server, in Receiver File adapter i enable overwrite existing file.
But some times its over writing the file some times came up with error like "Access Denied".
Can any one tell me what could be the problem.
Kind Regards,
Kiran

> But some times its over writing the file some times
> came up with error like "Access Denied".
This can be a Authorization problem...may be at that time you are unable to write any file in that directory..or some other application is using it and it make a lock at that time.
Thanks

How to save for web AND overwrite original files with Action?

Hello,
I want to compress a batch of images with "save for web" using a Photoshop Action, and I also want to preserve my folder structure and overwrite source files. The structure is important because it's complex and needs to be structured this way.
The Problem:
When I choose "save for web", I must define a destination. What happens is all optimized files from within the structure are saved in a single location.
Here's an example of the folder structure
Folder A
     - Subfolder A1
     - Subfolder A2
Folder B
     - Subfolder B1
     - Subfolder B2
          -Subfolder B2.2
Folder C
     -Subfolder C1
Summary
Is it possible for me to use a Photoshop Action with "save for web", and overwrite my files without moving them from the structure?

No need to re-invent the wheel.
Just learn how to use the Image Processor, Image Processor Pro, or Dr. Brown's Services 1-2-3 in Photoshop and/or Bridge.

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.

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.
Doug - [email protected]
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.

How to delete or overwrite .csv file

hi...
i need some help here..can anyone teach me how to delete or overwrite an existing .csv file.?..in my .csv file there will be two columns which is column 1( 8 length) and 2 column ( 4 length).
please...i need the answer asap..really appreacite your help..thanks...

Well, deleting or overwriting a file should not depend on the size of the columns. You just overwrite the file with the new data. What have you tried so far?
If you want to overwrite individual data points, you would read the file, modify the data in memory, and overwrite the file with the changed data. Overwiting individual values directly is only recommended for binary files unless you can guarantee that each value occupies a fixed number of characters and the offset can be calculated from first principles.

Overwrite Exisiting Files - error

I see this questions has come up a few times, but having read the answers it seems i still have a problem. can someone clarify if i am making an error my workflow please?
Take images in Folder XXX and develop them
Export these images to a new folder YYY. add to catalogue not ticked
Syncronise YYY and bring in new images. Apply a develop preset to these images on import
Export the images in YYY with preset applied as jpegs to YYY for external use. Select "Overwrite without Warning"
Error comes up saying this cannot be performed as woudl replace exisitng photo
My understanding from other threads is this eror should only happen if you try to replace an original, but was designed for exactly my purpose when you are operation on copies. I am just owndering how LR is meant to know that the imported copy is a copy not an original. What attribute would tell in that as importing through syncronisation is the same process. If I used the "add to catalogie" in stage 2. does this let LR know it'sa copy? If so I could add my preset manually?
i am using LR 2.5 on Vista 32 bit
Thanks for any advice.
Mike

The bug that allowed overwriting of files present in the catalog was resolved some time ago. LR has no idea what "originals" are, it just won't let you over write files present in its catalog and a good thing to! The over write function is to over write exported images, I use it all the time and it works fine. So if I want a set of images for one purpose I export them to a folder, if I then need them in a different size or whatever I just use the same folder and over write the previously exported files. No need to import these files into LR as I have the "originals" and can always make virtual copies if I need different versions in LR

How to programmatically overwrite the file in Labview?

Iam using Copy.VI for copying a file from one directory to other. If the file is already exist in destination directory, Copy.VI generates an error of "10". I wanted to overwrite the file which is already exist. Does anyone has solution. I have attached a file which is written in Labview 6.1.
Attachments:
Copy_File.vi ‏21 KB

Always run a delete first, or alternatively; run a delete if the copy fails with error 10 and then redo the copy operation...

How to overwrite source files, or use source file names?

Hi all
I would like AME (5.5.1.12, under Windows 7) to overwrite the source files that it is encoding, or if that's not possible, save the exported files to a different folder with the same file names as the sources.
However I can see no way to do this without manually specifying a file name for every file. I need to process 400 files so this is not practical.
Currently AME automatically adds a "-1" suffix to the exported file name, whether it's saved in the same folder as the source or a different folder.
Can anyone advise, please?

Hi Jim,
Thanks for the reply. However, overwriting source files during a batch process is a common feature in audio/video software. It's possible in Audition, for instance, as well as in third-party programs such as Sound Forge, Wavelab and Samplitude.
Presumably in these cases the software writes to a temporary file, either in RAM or on the hard drive, before deleting the original and replacing it with the new one.
I'm surprised to hear that AME can't do this for conversions that stay within the same file format (such as the bit depth of a wave file).

Preventing root from overwriting a file

Is there any way to keep pacman (or other package managers that run as root) from overwriting a file in a directory where it would normally be overwritten? Without using the immutable flag (which only works on ext* filesystems)? I know this should strictly never be necessary, but if there is any way to render things read-only for root, I think it would be useful to know.

Disable "Overwrite existing files" when upload doument

Dear team,
in document library, when upload document, i don't want the document to overwrite the documents with the same name.
there is chekbox in upload page, that is default checked, I searched and some people said that I can update the upload page, find the checkbox control, and set the value to false, so i update the value in Upload.aspx and Uploadex.aspx page to change the
value.
but after changing the value, I cannnot open the upload page successfully, it always shows error.
Did I do anything wrong?

Hi Greetings.
This is not the right procedure
Scording to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to override SharePoint OOTB Upload.aspx default for " Overwrite existing files" checkbox.
We can use the AdditionalPageHead delegate control to change the default without modifying upload.aspx.
There is an article for your reference, although it is about the WSS3.0, it still works for SharePoint 2013: Turn Default Upload Overwrite Off in WSS 3.0
Please follow the steps as below:
Download the solution file form here
Copy the wps file to the Disk C.
Open the SharePoint 2013 Management Shell.
Run the command: add-spsolution c:\ DefaultUploadOverwriteOff.wsp
Open the Center Administration, click System Setting->Manage Farm Solution-> dp.sharepoint.workflow.wsp->Deploy to one or more Web Application.
Open the site, clilck Site settings-> Site collection features-> Default Upload Overwrite Off->Active.
Open the library, the 'overwrite existing files' checkbox will be unchecked.
