Read/Write folder, but newly added files Read Only?

Our company uses a server to store a shared logo database and work files, and to transfer data from one user to another. At this point, we do not have any need for Read Only on this server; everything should be Read/Write. That's how it was set up initially, and the permissions were propagated. About a year ago, our old XServe crashed and was replaced with a new XServe. I believe our trouble started there, and has since migrated to our Snow Leopard Server: we have several folders where, if an employee uploads a folder and/or file, those files become Read Only. We have to go to the Get Info for that folder and fix the permissions each time. This has to happen up to 20 or so times a day, and I'm the only one who has server access to fix it; it also seems to be affecting more and more folders. I'm not in IT, so this is a little beyond me, but I've been working with IT on this (I'm Mac, he's PC). Can anyone offer a suggestion as to how else we can go about permanently setting the permission to Read/Write on all folders? Server Admin hasn't been successful.
Thanks!

Hi
+"We have to go to the Get Info for that folder and fix the permissions each time"+
This might be fine for OSX Client but it's not the way to do things on OSX Server. Consider stopping doing this because ultimately you're adding to the problems you're seeing. To reset permissions launch terminal on the server and issue this command:
sudo chmod -R -N /pathtoshare
Depending on how much data there is as well as the structure (nested folders within nested folders etc) this may take some time. If you're sharing the Volume (hard drive), don't. Share a folder instead. If you have only one share point which is the name of the drive. Create a folder with the same name and move all the data into that folder. Un-share the drive and Re-share the folder.
Once the command has ran, repeat for any other share points you may have. When finished launch Server Admin because this is what you should be using. Select the Server name. Click on the Sharing icon. Select Share Points. Select the share point you're interested in and add desired users or groups into the ACL window. Select Read/Write. Don't fiddle with the POSIX permissions. Cick Save. Click on the small gear wheel and select Propagate Permissions. By default ACL will be ticked. You don't tick anything else. Click save/apply and let it do its stuff. Repeat for any other share points you may have.

    I guess you cannot. There is an enhancement request to get the name of the config-section as a GET_APPLICATION_PROPERTY.
    What you could do is add extra parameter(s) to your form and pass the necessary formsweb.cfg parameters in this form parameter. See Get formsweb.cfg section name in Forms for more info and an example.

  • Read&write binary float var to file

    Hello everybody.
    Oracle 11G R 2 on Linux.
    My problem.
    I have some millions of records (270.000.000)  with numeric data that can be store in binary float variables. Making the database work with so big table convert the database in a slow and hard to manage, because copys and so. The advantage is that this data only need be read, not modified or add news record.
    So, Im thinking to store in the file system, with UTL_FILE package, one or more binary files and access data through a algorithm to calculate the position of data inside the file. The data can be stored in binary float vars.
    My question.
    How I can add this binary data in binary format to the stream of write and read from the stream of data when I write to disk and when I read from disk.
    Any idea welcome.
    Thanks in advanced & regards everybody.

    I think that you dont understand the problem.
    The problem is easy, I have a table with 270.000.000 records. When you try to do anything with this table the database go slow, for your understand, when you ask a simple and easy query, by example a select count(*) from, it take more than 200 seconds to answer.
    ok, but the data is all numeric that can be stored in binary float var and moreover its position in a sequential file can be calculate.
    So if I make a sequential file, or more than one, where I can save this data I kick this problem to the database.
    And what I´m asking for help is if anybody know a way, using UTL_FILE, to include in the stream to save and read this data from disk (UTL_FILE.put_raw and UTL_FILE.get_raw) in binary float format, nothing more than this I want.
    You are correct that I 'dont understand the problem' because you yourself do not know what the 'problem' is.
    All you said is 'try to do anything with this table the database go slow' but you don't tell us what that 'anything' is. You give only ONE example.
    A COUNT(*) in Oracle could possibly use an index but you don't tell us if you have any indexes. You don't even provide the table DDL so we can see the structure.
    Your description gives the impression that all you have is a table with ONE column defined as BINARY FLOAT and that column is defined as NOT NULL. If that is the case you can create an index and Oracle can use it to get the COUNT(*) results.
    That ONE query is just about the only thing that might be faster with the data in a file. Since each value is four bytes and they can't be null then all you need to know is the length of the file. Then you can divide by four to find out how many entries there are.
    For anything else your 'file' solution will need to read the ENTIRE FILE to do anything other than access values as if the file was a large array of BINARY FLOAT four byte values.
    And for that, as I previously suggested, just forget Oracle and write a simple Java program that uses RandomAccessFile. Then for any given 'array' value just multiply by four, set the FilePointer value to that result and read your 4 bytes.

  • Read/write operation on SAP IDOC file

    Hi All,
    We are developing an application, which will be used for registering and processing of travel data for a client.One of itu2019s functionality is to get the data from external system in different format(like CSV, Excel, Fixed Flat file, XML, main frame file, DBF and SAP IDOC) and import it into Oracle databases.
    One of the design considerations for it, is to read these files and convert it into predefined XML format
    and then import these data from XML to oracle database.
    Currently we are analyzing the requirement and trying to find out all the Open Source JAVA API which can convert these different format files to predefined XML format, using some mapping file.
    We have found out Open Source JAVA API for all the file format, except SAP IDOC files.
    Any Java API to read/write the SAP IDOC file, Please advise
    Regards,

  • How read/write matlab style WAV sound file?

    The supplied LabVIEW WAV read/write VIs require fixed sampling rates (like 8000, 11025, 22050, 44100), and use integer data (so the waveforms take on large +/- integer values).
    I need to read/write WAV files that are like those used in Matlab with its wavread and wavwrite functions. Those can use ANY sample rate, and the waveforms have decimal values between -1 and +1.
    Could someone suggest either how to directly write these standard WAV files with an existing VI, or how to write my own VI to do this?
    Thanks in advance.

    That's a great help! Thanks. I have made the changes to the supplied NI VIs so that any rate can be used. The new read/write VIs are attached and seem to work ok.
    Best,

  • MacBook SuperDrive Reads/Writes DVDs but not CDs

    The SuperDrive on my first-gen MacBook (bought May 2006, Intel Core Duo) is acting up, but in the opposite direction of what you might expect: It can read and write DVDs, but fails on all forms of CDs: it cannot mount commercially-produced audio CDs or CD-ROMs, nor any form of CD-R (blank or previously written). It ***** them in, spins a bit, hesitates and then finally spits them out after a minute or so.
    But it can read all sorts of DVDs (video and data), whether commercially stamped or home burned. And it can write to DVD-R. Pretty much the opposite of what you might expect if the lens was dirty or some other mechanical problems - since one would assume that the DVD mode would require higher tolerances than CD modes. And yes, I've used a CD lens cleaner just to be sure.
    Suggestions?

    Thanks - so does that mean a SuperDrive has two different lasers, one for CD media and the other for DVDs? I guess I assumed there would just be one (for the DVD) that was downward-compatible so it could also read CDs.
    I've done a lot of searching, and I've seen many cases where a drive fails to work with DVDs but still works with CDs ... but not the other way around (which is my situation).

  • Options for read/write form field data with VBA/Reader

    I have a project which requires reading and writing field data to a PDF form using VBA in PowerPoint. The code I have works properly with the full version of Acrobat, but the client this project is for will be using Reader. I'm looking for suggestions to what options I have to be able to access the form field data (I don't need any other features other than access to the field data). Ideally, I would love a solution which doesn't require the client to install anything extra for this to work, but I'm assuming that this isn't possible without an extra install.
    Is there a library that exists in Reader (or could be licensed to be installed on the client's machine) that would allow the data to be read without needing the full version of Acrobat?
    Does a plug-in exist for Reader, or could be written, that would allow this? Writing a plug-in would certainly be beyond my current capabilities, but I am interested in knowing every and any choices that are available.
    Are there any other options to do what I need to do?
    I had originally thought about exporting the form data and parsing it in the VBA program, but this would take a bit more work to write the parsing routine instead of accessing the fields directly. Plus, it appears to me that Exporting is not enabled in Reader.
    Thanks for any insight you may be able to provide.

    Thanks for the response; this was my original suggestion, but I don't think this is feasable for our client. I suggested to our account people that this might be the only way to do this (and the easiest, although possibly the costliest since it would have to be purchased for their entire sales force) and they initially said that this would not be an option, so I wanted to be able to cover all the bases, and explore any other ways that they could do what they want. Is this the absolute only option to do this?
    Someone also suggested to me that licensing the Acrobat PDF Library SDK might be a way to do this, or that it could possibly be done with a plug-in for Reader (although from what I have found, Reader plug-ins would have to be approved by Adobe). These options, if possible, are beyond my current knowledge but I do want to be able to give them a complete list of possibilities.
    Thanks again.

  • Automatically open newly added files in a folder?

    Hi there.
    I own a Nikon D80 and I want to have the images I take transfered directly to my Mac to be stored and displayed. I found this om flickr: http://www.flickr.com/groups/d80/discuss/72157603787246133/ where a user describes how to automatically add the photos to a folder on the Mac, now all I need is a script that will automatically open the newly imported photos, is it possible to do - and how? (I figured it probably had something to do with automator, but since I don't know anything about coding anything, I need some help).
    The script could either open the pictures as they are added (10 photos taken will result in a total of 10 windows when done) or replace the current showed image (10 photos taken will result in a total of 1 window when done)
    Hope it all makes sence, thanks in advance!

    All I can suggest is peruse the AppleScript forum for possible scripts or post your query there. It's under OS X Technologies. I don't do workflows, so I just pointed you to the basic starting point. Alternatively, post your query to the Flickr forum.

  • Read / Write a MAX .daq configuration file?

    How can I read or write a .daq configuration file programmatically ?(channel names, range, units, etc.)
    And/Or:
    Does anyone know the internal structure of a .daq file? Is it documented?
    Thanks.
    MichelC.

    Michel,
    The .daq file, where all the MAX information gets stored, is in binary format. You will have a hard time decoding it LabVIEW.
    However, you can use some DAQ VIs to get this information.
    Under Data Acquisition>>Calibration and Configuration>>DAQ Channel Utilities palette, use the following VIs:
    Get DAQ Channel Name
    Get Channel Information
    Get Scale Information

  • Read, Write and other functionality on Acrobat reader file

    Hi,
    What are the functions that can be done on Acrobat file using C#.net Programming.
    Can we add E-Signature to Acrobat file through C# Programming? and do other operations.
    Can u suggest the links for sample program.
    I came to know with Adobe Reader we can't do operations on PDF document. we requires Adobe Acrobat Standard or Professional. is it true?
    Your suggestions requested

    Thanks for your reply.
    I have gone through some on example given in SDK.
    out of four "BasicIacCS", "BasicIacOCXCS", "FillFormCS", "JSObjectControlCS" in SDK samples,  only "BasicIacOCXCS" is working.
    remaining projects throws error "Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID"
    I have only installed Acrobat Reader, do we require full Adobe Version?

    you are going to have to delete, move or archive your data to regain at least 15-20 GBs of empty hard drive space.
    Have you emptied your iMac's Trash icon in the Dock?
    If you use iPhoto, iPhoto has its own trash that needs to be emptied, also.
    If you use Apple Mail app, Apple Mail also has its own trash area that needs to be emptied, too!
    In System folder under Printers folder, delete any printer drivers from manufacturers you aren't using.
    Other things you can do to gain space.
    Delete any old or no longer needed emails and/or archive older emails you want to save.
    Look through your Documents folder and delete any type of old useless type files like "Read Me" type files.
    Again, archive or delete any old documents you no longer use or immediately need.
    Download an app called OnyX for your version of OS X.
    When you install and launch it, let it do its thing initially, then go to the cleaning and maintenance tabs and run all of the processes in the tabs. Let OnyX clean out all web browser cache files, web browser histories, system cache files, delete old error log files.
    Typically, iTunes and iPhoto libraries are the biggest users of HD space.
    You may have to Purchase an external FireWire or Thunderbolt hard drive to move these files/data off of your internal drive to the external hard drive and deleted off of the internal hard drive.
    If you have any other large folders of personal data or projects, these should be moved, also, to the external hard drive and then either archived to disc media and/or deleted off your internal hard drive.
    Good Luck!

  • List newly added files in a directory

    hello,
    I am looking for a way to output the contents of a directory and all enclosing directories, sorted by date modified. essentially, this command will be run to output sort of a "what's new" in th directory. the root directory is a share point on a server that is already mounted, if that matters.
    so far I am using ls -ARt > untitled.txt. this does the job, but doesn't look pretty. is there any way I could make this just list the latest additions to the share and where they are located in the share? i.e. "untitled.txt" in directoy X? or even just list the files, without directories, with the date added?
    thanks everyone.

    however, i am a little confused at the syntax. when you have a new line in the command, should i hit enter? when i get to the "else" command, it gives me an error
    -bash: syntax error near unexpected token `else'
    Without seeing what you wrote, it is difficult to analyze. Try posting your code between tags
    ... your code here ...
    also, the file i want to create is what's_new?.txt. would this be in place of "lastaccess.txt"?
    the ' and the ? are going to cause problems on the command line. It is really that important to spell it exactly like that?
    Single-quote ' is used by the shell to create quoted strings, which look like a single argument ('this is a single argument string'). So are "..." strings, with different behavior, but similar.
    Question mark, is a single character wildcard character.
    If it is then you are going to have to protect the ' and the ? using double-quotes. Using Tony T1's code, it would look like:
    #!/bin/bash
    if [ -e "what's_new?.txt" ]; then
    find . -type f -neweram "what's_new?.txt"
    else
    find . -type f
    fi
    touch "what's_new?.txt"
    Note, if you actually took Tony T1's example, and used unprotected what's_new?.txt, then that just might explain why bash got upset as you would have turned
    's_new?.txt ]; then find -type -neweram what'
    {code}
    Into a single argument, and the 'if' statement would have lost the closing ], the semi-colon, and the 'then'. No wonder bash got upset.

  • How do I get iTunes to auto-create a folder for newly added music?

    I used to add files into a new folder (literally named "New Folder"), play the songs from the folder (not iTunes), and iTunes would create a new folder appropriate for the artist and album, moving the songs to that new folder. Anyone know how to turn this feature on?

    This feature is usually called "Watch Folders", and iTunes doesn't have anything like that.

  • My Mac Pro will read thumb-drive but not CF card reader

    Can someone help me resolve this problem?
    I just erased everything off my Mac Pro and reconfigured everything (as new). I installed all my programs, primarily Aperture3 and Photoshop CS5
    (using Leopard).
    I had NO problem uploaded some photos into Aperture3 from a thumb drive using the USB port, BUT,
    when I tried to upload photos from my card reader the MacPro does not recognize the card reader using the same USB port.
    I figured the problem was a bad card reader, so I tested it on my PC and it recognized the card reader and uploaded all the photos.
    Also, the card reader's green light turns on when attached to the MacPro, as if it is working and connected but it does not register in Finder or desktop to indicate that the card reader is installed.
    I even tried to upload directly from my Canon 7D and it also did NOT recognize the camera.
    Why would the MacPro recognize the thumb drive on the same USB port and not the card reader or the camera?
    Please help!
