Program Data directory invisible?

Hope this is right forum. I have installed Win 7 and installed a game tonight and the shortcut on desktop says it is in c:\ProgramData\ directory except I can't find tht directory on my c:\ anywhere, it doesn't exist. Program Files directory does but the game I installed isn't hiding in ther either.
Is the Programdata directory hidden from view or am I just going crazy and it really is there and I just can't see it?
Hope someone can put me out of my misery. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Did some test and noticed :
When accounts are used a Directory name "Shared" is created under the main DATA directory / partition.
I moved the data from DATA to DATA/Shared and turned back accounts mode in Time capsule.
Now I have one user with readonly access and other with full access.
However I am not able to access the user direcroty which is outside DATA.
Anyways my data can be safe this way.
Thanks,
Dinesh

I was hoping to find something similar to the File.userDirectory.resolvePath method... So far, nothing.. Also, I needed to know what is the equivalent folder of Program Data on Mac... Please help..

Create a servlet which gets an InputStream of the file and writes it to the OutputStream of the response and call this servlet in `src` attribute. That's basically all.
Here's an example which covers the most of the minimum needs: [http://balusc.blogspot.com/2007/04/imageservlet.html].

Can't create directory c:\Program Data\Apple Computer\iTunes

While installing iTunes, get message "can't create directory c:\Program Data\Apple Computer\iTunes. After that, it uninstalls itunes and I'm back to square one. What can I do or what could be causing this?

First I think you'll find it is ProgramData without a space. Check for an existing iTunes folder at that location and rename it to Not iTunes. Try again.

Hmm...
Maybe this is useful -> table EUFUNC
Check the FMs from Function group SEUJ ,
FM RS_TESTDATA_GET looks promising-reading.. and so also RS_RFC_TESTDATA_GROUP_TRANSFER
Maybe you can write a small program which downloads all the contents of the table and later updates it using one of the above FMs
Also check with the BASIS team about the options -> There are many options available like maintaining the previous settings... (I know that passwords may not be refreshed similarly this option may also be available..)

Want installer to copy a data directory to target

I have created an application and an installer for it. There is also a small data directory with a handful of files and I would like the installer to copy the directory to the target directory,e.g., c:\program files\myapp.
How do I do that?

Antivirus has quarantined files from firefox program files directory as malware

These 3 files have been quarantined as heuristic viruses or Trojans:
libegl.dll
nssdbm3.dll
webapprt-stub.exe
All 3 files are in the program files directory for firefox. After these files were quarantined and I tried to start FF I got error:
Could not initialize the application's security component. The most likely cause is problems with files in your application's file directory. Please check that this directory has no read/write restrictions and your hard disk is not full or close to full. It is recommended that you exit the application and fix this problem. If you continue to use this session, you might see incorrect application behavior when accessing security features.
Once I click OK it opens FF but it won't open the homepage. I want to be very sure these are actually FF program files and not some virus attempting to wreak havoc on my laptop. thanks.
unfortunately, I can't add any troubleshooting information as i'm in IE writing this up since I can't open FF.

This might have been false positives.

How do I correct this to download iTunes so it will run?

That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

OwnCloud: data directory as a symbolic link

Hey has anyone gotten this working. Owncloud works fine when the data directory in usr/share/webapps/owncloud is used, but when I change 'data' to a symlink to /mnt/warehouse/share/owncloud/data all I get is a blank screen upon connecting to my server.
Owncloud works fine if I revert the symlink back to a true directory.
Following the instructions here does not work for me: Owncloud Forums
I have /mnt/warehouse/share/owncloud/data in the open_basedir option in php.ini as well as httpd.conf. (In addition to /usr/share/webapps/owncloud and /srv/http/owncloud).
The user/group of /mnt/warehouse/share/owncloud are http:http and permissions are 770.
I must be missing something obvious as I can't seem to find anything out there. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Greg

Thank you, Yeah I have tried doing that. Both from the very beginning when owncloud prompts you to set up an admin account and database server (and data dir), as well as changing it in config.php after the intial set up, as well as replacing the data dir with a symlink to my preferred location. The result is the same, a blank page on server connect. Whether I have the data directory configured specifically in config.php, or as a symlink, the error message is the same.
I will give it another try, configuring a non-standard data directory from the initial set up, but pretty sure the result will be the same.
I feel like this must somehow be an apache config or php config issue, but I'm not too well versed with either.
I am using the non-aur package, and followed the wiki instructions for setting up the lamp/owncloud.
From /var/log/httpd/error_log, while data is a symlink located in /usr/share/webapps/owncloud:
[Fri Feb 14 15:52:24 2014] [error] [client ::1] PHP Fatal error: Call to a member function warning() on a non-object in /usr/share/webapps/owncloud/lib/private/log/errorhandler.php on line 51

How to creat Test Data Directory

Hi Experts,
I want to create a TEST DATA DIRECTORY for the following function module CLOI_CHANGES_UPL_31. How to create this?
Actually now i have some process order numbers. Using this how to create the test data directory??
Plz guide this.
Point will be sure.
Mohana

Hi Mohana,
      Test data directory is similar to variants in reports.
      After executing the function module give some input and click the save button . It will prompt a name . Give the name and click enter. So this test data is saved in the test data directory.
   So that you need not not give the test input again and again. you can simply click the test dat directory and select your test data .

Table for test data saved in SE37 (Test data directory)

Hello Experts,
When we save the test data in SE37 its going to be saved in test data directory, in which table of the data base its going to saved?
Thanks in advance,
Sandhya

Hi Sandhya,
The test data will be stored in a table called 'EUFUNC'
But it is a cluster table if you want to fetch the data from that table you can use macros to fetch the data.
Here is the macro syntax for your reference.
data : d102n_exportkey like functdir.
data : begin of te_datadir occurs 10,
         dataid like eufunc-nummer,    "Schlüsselnr. für Testdatenimp.
         stepid(3),                    "PBO/PAI-Eintrag
         seqid like eufunc-seqid,
         datum like sy-datum,
         uzeit like sy-uzeit,
         title(40),
       end of te_datadir.
te_datadir is a internal table
d102n_exportkey-area = p_file.
d102n_exportkey-progid = p_fname.
d102n_exportkey-dataid = dataid.
IMPORT te_datadir
       FROM DATABASE eufunc(fl) ID d102n_exportkey.

Data Directory read only

Hi,
I need my mac to have full access to Data directory and for windows PC have read-only access.
I have my files under DATA directory, when I use secure disk using accounts under Time capsule and create users the files under my data directory is not visible.
When I revert the setting to have secure disk using disk password the files are visible.
Let me know how can I view my data with user accounts, do I need to repair permissions or something ?
Thanks,
Dinesh Mistry

Hi,
Did some test and noticed :
When accounts are used a Directory name "Shared" is created under the main DATA directory / partition.
I moved the data from DATA to DATA/Shared and turned back accounts mode in Time capsule.
Now I have one user with readonly access and other with full access.
However I am not able to access the user direcroty which is outside DATA.
Anyways my data can be safe this way.

Program Data

As the previous questions asked and read through the answers, it puzzles me to which program data you are referring to. I have a similar problem. When I initially installed the Kaspersky anti virus 2014 program on my laptop. Kaspersky was (as I tried
to assess) constantly preforming an update and storing all the data in this program data file located on c: drive right click, open and you can choose the program data file. This shows all the program files downloaded I suppose. When you select Kaspersky it
shows you all the stored files which already has taken up 65 Gig of space on the hard drive. Accumulated in a few days.
What I need to know is can I delete these files or will this harm the downloaded programs?
How does this influence the windows 7 operating system and registry?
Is there perhaps a virus hidden in the works that the antivirus program is not detecting?
Just for info I have already contacted Kaspersky on this matter and they replied suggesting to disable reporting and quarantine in the setting which have proved fruitless.
Attached are two pictures of the program data file.
Your help will be appreciated.

Do not expect reaction to "previous questions" if you do not refer to URL.
For Kaspersky software ask in support forum of Kaspersky
http://forum.kaspersky.com/
No pictures are attached.
Try to formulate your problem more clearly and focus on sigle problem that is described in the same thread. Refering to another thread make readers skip your thread.

Program data folder

I might have dropped this problem in the windows vista related questions.
I am pretty desperate to solve this problem. Is there any solution to this?

Do not expect we could resolve Kaspersky failed support. Try to continue with Karpersky support. Unless you do a deep analysis with Process Monitor and Process Explorer (Sysinternals) you will notfind the cause of problems.
If you have any material to share, place it on OneDrive and configure public share.

Test Data Directory

Hi All,
I have a requirement in which I have to test some function modules using the standard SE37 test functionality.
Below is my requirement
1) The test data for the input parameters for these functions is present in flat files.
2) I have to read the data in the flat files and load into the parameters and then update the test data directory for the function modules
Is there any standard function modules that upload parameter data to Test data directory? There are some functions like SFCS_FA_PARAMETER_GET in package SEUJ. But I am not sure how to use them.
If anyone has any idea on how to save the data to test directories, it will be of great help.
Thanks,
Anand

Just enter the values and press save.It will ask for comments enter some name.
When u execute teh FM next time u can take the values from the directory.
Make sure that if u r making some changes in the FM then teh test data wont be available.
reward if this helps.
