Real path and create file

I have a html file with a form. When submited goes to a servlet and the servlet needs to create a file from this information. The file does not get created. Tried using getRealPath to obtain path but this give's null.

1.- getRealPath is deprecated
2.- All servlet context provide a temp directory, which is a good candidate for your task. Also consider using a full filesystem path, stored in a context-param in web.xml. Regarding the temp directory, its name is stored in a context attribute, is part of the servlet spec, but I don't remember the name of the attribute.

Consuming web service in PI 7.3 and creating file

Hi,
I need to consume web service in PI 7.3 and create file from response. I have WSDL for the web service. Now confused about datatype/message type. Is there any document/note to follow?
thanks,

Hi,
There are 2 ways you can do this :-
If your sender is a file and receiver is a webservice and you want to map the response back to the file then :-
Sol 1 :- Async-Sync Bridge using RequesResponse Oneway bean
Sender File channel ---> Soap Receiver Channel
Soap Receiver Channel brings the response back to the File Receiver Channel.
Now this File Receiver Channel should be called inside the Sender File Channel using the above bean.
Data Type :
Src - File struc to SOAP request (WSDL used as an external definition)(mapping 1)
SOAP response(WSDL used as an external definition) to Tgt File Struc (mapping 2)
Sol 2 :- Async Scenario
Make a Sender File Channel --> use SOAP lookup channel (pass the request payload through the SOAP receiver channel) --> Map the response back to the File using File Receiver Channel.
Data Type:
Src - File struc to Tgt File Struc (mapping 1). Since you are passing the request payload through SOAP lookup in the UDF itself.

Collection of IDOC's and creating file

Hi,
I am working on one scenario collection of IDOC's for 10 minutes and creating file.
When my IDOC's are created in r/3 and reaching in an order and reaching the same order in XI as well,but creating of file for those idocs is not happening in the same order.
Its skipping some of the orders as well while creating file.
Basically i need to create the file in the same order as idocs are reached XI.I am using BPM for collection of IDOC's.
Would request your suggestions.
Thanks in Advance.

Chandra.

Hello Chandra,
I am working on one scenario collection of IDOC's for 10 minutes and creating file.
When my IDOC's are created in r/3 and reaching in an order and reaching the same order in XI as well,but creating of file for those idocs is not happening in the same order.
Its skipping some of the orders as well while creating file.
Basically i need to create the file in the same order as idocs are reached XI.I am using BPM for collection of IDOC's??????
Eg: Take a Fallowing Requirement..
For Exmaple A background program should be scheduled to run every 10 minutes to analyse any material records that have been created or changed or deleted that have occurred to the material master records or Customer Records in the last minute.
There are two Message Mappings involved in the whole scenario. First mapping is N:1 Mapping which will be used in BPM and second Mapping is 1:1 Mapping:
1. First Message Mapping  N: 1 Mapping between IDoc (occurrence 0...unbounded in Messages tab) to IDoc with changed occurrence of its top node (IDOC) as 0...unbounded. This message mapping will be used in BPM transformation step.
Description: This BPM collects all Idocs for 10 minutes which are of Message Type (ZMATMAS05) according to Receiver Partner Number (Field RCVPRN) and calls N: 1 mapping to bundle the collected Idocs in a One External Definition for that IDOC.
Use
You use a wait step ( ) to incorporate a delay in a process. Usually, you use a delay to define when the next step in the process is to start. You can define a delay as either a point in time or a period of time.
At runtime, the step waits until the specified point in time is reached or the specified period of time has passed. The system then continues the process by proceeding with the next step.

Read, Write and create files from java applet.

Dear All,
I have created a two files. One is applet and one application file. I am creating a instance of application file in applet. Application file is used for reading, writing and creating files. When I invoke applet from broser it dipslays error wrt file access permission. From the forum search I know that we need to sign the applet / edit the java policy to run the code locally. Final delivery of my code should execute on different system. Its not web. I have created a html page on submitting the form it invokes applet to read the form values from param and needs to update the values in xml file located locally. Please help me on how I can proceed with this fix.
Thanks in advance.

Sorry if I have not stated the problem clearly. I need to update content to files hosted in local system using java applets.
I belive there are two ways to achive that.One with jar signer and one with modifying the java policy file. But this application needs to be installed in different system locally as I have created a application with webpage as useinterface and need to update the content in local files on submission. Not sure on how to modify the java.policy files in each end user system and whats the value we need to update in java policy file. Please help me on the steps to be followed

Using AppleScript/Automator to get file path and create AFP hyperlink

Hi All,
A colleague has asked for a service (contextual menu item in Finder) to get a selected item's remote (afp://) file path and copy it to the clipboard... Pretty sure I've got that part down.
What I need advice on is how to make the resulting pasted file path into a serviceable hyperlink. AFP keeps telling me there was an error connection to the server.... Does the copied path have to include mounting commands and user credentials for this to work??
Thanks,
Nathan

Hi Richard - here's the script:
tell application "Finder"
          set sel to the selection as text
          set TempTID to AppleScript's text item delimiters
          set AppleScript's text item delimiters to space
          set sel to text items of sel
          set AppleScript's text item delimiters to "%20"
          set sel to sel as string
          set AppleScript's text item delimiters to TempTID
set the clipboard to "file://" & POSIX path of sel
end tell

How to get the Real Path of a file which is accessed by URL?

iam using tomcat6.0.
I have a file xyz.xml at the top of the webapplication HFUSE which i can able to access by URL
http://localhost:8080/HFUSE/xyz.xml
My problem is how to get the realpath of the file "xyz.xml" for reading and writing purposes.
I tried various things but i could not able to successfully solved the problem?
1) File f = new File("/xyz.xml");
print(f.getAbsolutePath()) ============== it is not fetching the file @ http://localhost:8080/HFUSE/xyz.xml rather it is creating a file
at the root of the drive where eclipse is running.
2) File f = new File("xyz.xml");============> this is also not working , it is creating the file xyz.xml in the eclipse directory ..................
Can anyone please guide on this problem?

RevertInIslam wrote:
If you want your context root(i.e HFUSE)
use this:
request.getContextPath() //where request is HttpServletRequest object to get the needful path.
e.g:
File f = new File(request.getContextPath()+"/xyz.xml");//it will create the file inside HFUSE.
Hope this helps.
Regards
BWrong. The File constructor expects an absolute filesystem path. The HttpServletRequest#getContextPath() doesn't return the absolute filesystem path, it only returns the relative path from the current context root. Use ServletContext#getRealPath() instead, it returns the absolute filesystem path for the given relative path from the current context root.
File file = new File(servletContext.getRealPath("/"), "xyz.xml");

Clip Paths and temp-files

I guess that clip paths are needed for all the files I've
pasted from Illustrator, but do I need all the temp-files?
How can I clean up the clip paths, bitmaps and temp files I
don't use in my project? Flash freezes a couple of seconds now when
I add, remove or edit an item in the Library...

Now I may be wrong (see my sig), but there is only one way I
know to get only the files you use into the library. Copy all of
the frames in the main timeline (highlight all frames - right-click
copy frame), then create a blank document, right-click on frame one
and paste the frames. That will only bring across items from the
library that are used, leaving behind the garbage. Save your new
document.

Network UNC paths and SWF files not running.

Flash Player wont run SWF files from a network unc path. A map drive works. How can I resolve this?
Our user profiles in window 7 are roaming and the my documents redirects using a unc path to the my documents area. When the swf file is run, you just get a white background in the player. The standalone player is version 8 . We also deploy the latest flash player plugin for ie9 browser (currently 11.3).
I have tried adding the unc path \\servername\pathname to a .cfg file in C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\FlashPlayerTrust as described in the flash player administrator guide. This did not work.
I have also tried to update the global security settings panel with the unc paths required and copying the settings.sol file to users profiles but this has not made any difference.
Can anyone help?
Many Thanks
Mark

Thanks for replying Jeromie.
After a bit of digging, I discovered that the problem was with the profile path for users. I am not sure why, but when the profile path contains the fully qualified domain name in it , flash player fails i.e \\server.domain.co.uk\sharename\flash.swf. when the path was changed to \\servername\sharename\file.swf , it worked.
I changed all the users profile paths and removed their appdata to and now all users can play flash files with the new profile path.

How to split path and filename (file is on application server)

Searching this forum I found a couple of FM's that apparently only worked for PC files. Is there a parser function for files w/ the Unix naming convention?

You could parse it yourself...
DATA: filepath TYPE char255 VALUE '/usr/<sys_id>/sap/tmp/filename.txt'.
DATA: path TYPE char255.
DATA: file TYPE char255.
DEFINE macro_reverse_string.
call function 'STRING_REVERSE'
    exporting
      string = &1
      lang    = sy-langu
    importing
      rstring = &1.
END-OF-DEFINITION.
macro_reverse_string filepath.
SPLIT filepath AT '/' INTO file path.
macro_reverse_string filepath.
macro_reverse_string file.
shift path right by 1 places. path(1) = '/'.
macro_reverse_string path.
WRITE:/ filepath.
WRITE:/ path.
WRITE:/ file.

Difference between logical file path and physical file path

Hi,
Can anyone tell me why logical file path is required and why physical file path is required? What exactly is the difference bet them?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
PS.

Hi,
The function module FILE_GET_NAME convert a logical path into its corresponding physical path.
The advantage of using logical pathes within your applications is obivous:
If you need to change the physical path you just adjust it within transaction FILE yet no changes are required to your application.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2005vp/helpdata/en/25/ab3a57df3b11d189fc0000e829fbbd/frameset.htm
The file names that you use in ABAP statements for processing files are physical names. This means that they must be syntactically correct filenames for the operating system under which your R/3 System is running. Once you have created a file from an ABAP program with a particular name and path, you can find the same file using the same name and path at operating system level.
Since the naming conventions for files and paths differ from operating system to operating system, ABAP programs are only portable from one operating system to another if you use the tools described below.
To make programs portable, the R/3 System has a concept of logical filenames and paths. These are linked to physical files and paths. The links are created in special tables, which you can maintain according to your own requirements. In an ABAP program, you can then use the function module FILE_GET_NAME to generate a physical filename from a logical one.
Maintaining platform-independent filenames is part of Customizing. For a full description, choose Tools ® Business Engineer ® Customizing, followed by
Implement. projects ® SAP Reference IMG. On the next screen, choose Basis Components System Administration ® Platform-independent File Names.
For a more detailed description of the function module FILE_GET_NAME, enter its name on the initial screen of the Function Builder and choose Goto Documentation. On the next screen, choose Function module doc.
Another way of maintaining platform-independent filenames is to use the Transaction FILE. The following sections provide an overview of the transaction.
To create a logical filename, choose Logical filename definition, client-independent from the Navigation group box in Transaction FILE, then choose New entries. You define logical filenames
You can either define a logical filename and link it to a logical path (as displayed here), or you can enter the full physical filename in the Physical file field. In the latter case, the logical filename is only valid for one operating system. The rules for entering the complete physical filename are the same as for the definition of the physical path for the logical file. To display further information and a list of reserved words, choose Help.
If you link a logical path to a logical file, the logical file is valid for all syntax groups that have been maintained for that logical path. The filename specified under Physical file replaces the reserved word in the physical paths that are assigned to the logical path. To make the name independent of the operating system, use names that begin with a letter, contain up to 8 letters, and do not contain special characters.
Save your changes.

Omkar.

File paths and moving files

I'm having trouble with what I thought would be a simple script. All I want to do is create a simple script that moves Pages templates into the appropriate template folder. I keep getting the following error:
"Applescript Error
Finder got an error: Handler can't handle objects of this class"
Here's the script that has the error:
set theFile to choose file
set theFolder to path to application support from user domain
set thePath to theFolder & "iWork:Pages:Templates:My Templates:"
display dialog thePath as string -- displays correct path the the folder I want
tell application "Finder"
move theFile to thePath
end tell
I appreciate any help I can get.
thanks,

You've run into one of those subtle coercion issues in AppleScript.
The problem lies with the line:
set thePath to theFolder & "iWork:Pages:Templates:My Templates:"
In this case, theFolder is an alias (the result of the path to command) and "iWork:Pages...." is a text object. When you concatenate two different classes (e.g. alias and string) the result is a list:
-->{alias "HD:users:username:Library:Application Support:", "iWork:Pages:Templates:My Templates:"}
Therefore, the move command fails because you're telling the Finder to move a file into a list, which can't be done.
The solution is quite simple - be more expilict about what thePath is. In this case, simple appending "as text" to the line fixes the problem:
set thePath to theFolder & "iWork:Pages:Templates:My Templates:" as text
Now thePath is a single text object which the Finder will coerce to a folder path when used in the move command. If you want to be even more explicit, you could:
move theFile to folder thePath

How do I take a Server path and create it into a desktop, as a shortcut that points to the server?

I understand that when I use keyboard shortcut command- K key this is a shortcut to connect to a server. What I'm trying to accomplish is to make the path of the server a desktop icon. I understand that I can drag the folder to the desktop and it will copy that folder. This is a very large file I want to create a path that point to the server. Can anyone explain this process to me as I've searched numerous blogs and other resources.

Maybe this will help. If you monitor the "More Like This" box (top right), other threads appear. Opening them usually displays other threads.

Regarding the Logical Path and file name

Hi all ,
I am using LSMW for creating the BOM of a material .
I am getting problem at step 7 , saying the logical path is pointing to physical directory .
Then i did some R & D . I created the logical path and logical file name using transaction FILE . Then i got the physical path using FM file_get_name.
But when i give those logical path and logical file names , still i am getting prob.... at step 7 of lsmw.
Pls let me know . I did my best unti l now ....

Hi Raj,
Can you send the Error which you got at Step 7??
It would be of great help if you can send the File Path and the file names you have used.

Invalid Path for target file, check if connector is deployed correctly

Hi all,
I've got a tricky problem over here: we are using OMB scripts for generating simple extract mappings that just copy data from an oracle source table to a flat file on a directory. Up untill now ( with version 11.1 ) this did not pose any troubles, but now we are using 11.2 for the first time and we don't get the mappings to execute. Generating, validating and deploying all works fine, only executing fails with the error: "Invalid Path for target file, check if connector is deployed correctly". It ends to rapidly, so I'm assuming the problem lies in the repository and not on the database itself.
I'm pretty sure all locations are defined as needed, flat file operator in the mapping has correct location, the flat file module has the same location,...
I tried almost everything: recreate oracle module, recreate flat file module, unregister and recreate db location, unregister and recreate dir location, recreate mapping and flat file, export/import...
The strange thing is, I was able to execute a mapping once. Although it ended with an error (due to a function in the mapping), it created the file correctly. After that I needed to update the directory path of the target location and from then on, I always got the error above, and I don't see a good reason.
Any suggestions??
Tnx,
Michel

That error is displayed when the generated code fails to execute with one of the following database errors;
UTL_FILE.INVALID_PATH
UTL_FILE.INVALID_OPERATION
UTL_FILE.INVALID_FILEHANDLE
So its worth checking the generated code for that map and searching for the code around UTL_FILE.FOPEN and seeing what the path and the file name in the code are. Maybe the file is created with permissions such that it can be created but not then re-written and its an OS permissions thing (such as UMASK settings).
Cheers
David
