Renaming and CVS

Hi,
I've just renamed an entity object. Jdeveloper renamed the java files for me.
I work with CVS. How do I tell CVS to remove the old file and add the new file after a rename?
(I can do it manually ofcourse with the CVS command line, but I'd like to know how to do it in jdeveloper)
Greetings,
Ivo Hi Ivo,
There is no easy way to do this in JDeveloper as Source control does not yet hook into the rename action, this is planned for a later release, along with increased integration with refactoring.
The only possible way to do this in JDeveloper is to Add the new file through the IDE. Then perform a Update Folder to get the old file back, add it to the navigator and then use "File -> Source Control -> Remove" to schedule it for deletion. Finally commit the change.
As you can see swiftly removing the file using the commandline outside JDeveloper is probably easiest at the moment.

JDeveloper and CVS

Hi All,
Just for anybody getting started with JDeveloper and CVS. I've been using both during a while and my comments are:
-- If you are thinking to replace your old CVS System, you really must think about it, JDeveloper just incorporates a little subset of features any CVS System actually has (like eclipse).
-- If somebody have been working with the same code your are using, to know if the code have changed isn't as simple like to make a "check for changes or compare with". Because if you use "JDeveloper Compare With option", JDeveloper check correctly for changes, but for changes over your own last revision, so if somebody create a new revision, you will loose your changes.
well I think JDeveloper creators must make a lot of effort to incorporate CVS functionality, if not, better remove this option from it.
anybody has any comments???

I need to try to understand why you would want to erase a version controlled file in your sandbox from disk but not remove it from version control. I guess we do this automatically because it seems like the right thing to do... it should be noted that this is also the default behavior in Eclipse.
If you remove a file from your sandbox but do not schedule it for removal from CVS, you could basically make changes in your sandbox that will cause other developers to run into compilation errors after you commit and they update.
E.g. SomeClass.java depends on a class defined in AnotherClass.java. You remove SomeClass.java from disk but not from the sandbox. You then rename a method in AnotherClass.java that SomeClass.java had been using. You compile your project, it all seems fine. You commit your changes to the cvs repository. Then your collegue updates and the world is broken.
It seems like a bad way to work. I'd be interested to know what the usecase is for doing this and whether there is perhaps a better way of achieving it (e.g. using working sets or the project content filters).
I'm aware of the issues with the files you mention. They're not really issues with the CVS support as such, they're issues with the parts of the product which generate those files. I know that probably doesn't make much difference to you, but it is relevant in terms of how (quickly) things get fixed.
The xml mergeability of several IDE files (in particular projects) improved greatly in JDeveloper 10.1.3 preview. I've tried very hard to raise awareness in the teams that develop those other features (ADF and Struts) about issues they have with version control. It's sometimes hard to convince people that there's really a problem for some reason. I'm hoping things will eventually improve. You can help that a lot by reporting such issues to your Oracle Support representative so that your specific problems are being tracked as TARs.
Thanks,
Brian

If i download any file which is prepare on microsoft office 2007 . The file have been download without extension of the prog. Means if files name is "1,docx" when i download from firefox it download in that form "1". after download i have to rename and give the extension name is plz tell me the way that office files are compatible with it.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== when i download the office files

In Firefox Options / Privacy be sure "Remember download history" is checked. To see all of the options on that panel, "Firefox will" must be set to "Use custom settings for history".

Itunes has renamed and reordered all of my music files. Why? can I undo it?

Sorry, I posted this in 'windows' by mistake...
I moved my music library from an ext drive to an int drive. Then I clicked "add to library" in iTunes [7.2(34)]. My target is the int drive, no files to be copied in my iTunes music folder. It uses too much memory (double!). When it was all done, most of the folders had been renamed and moved around. It will play through iTunes, but when I want to find an artist or album on the hard drive, it is like looking for a needle in a haystack. What happened and how can I either undo it, or prevent it from happening again if I go to my backup drive and start over again.

iTunes should only do this if the options are set in the itunes preferences.
The check box is Keep iTunes Music Folder Organized.
iTunes will organize files by artist>album
The next check box is Copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library.
Does just what it says.
The first checkbox is the one that does what you described.

Best practice: team based development with JDeveloper and CVS?

Hi all!
I was wondering of what is the best way to work with Jdev 9i and cvs on a same project with 5 developers whereas
all developers use the same JPRs and JWS?
Which of the files should be checked in to the central CVS repository, which should be remained on the local machine of each developer?
I assume, all java and xml files might be stored in the cvs repository. But how can we make sure that new files written by a member of the team will be added to my project?
If we also check in the JPR and CFG files the merge of concurrent JPRs will fail and our project will be shreddered ;-)
My question: what is your best experience with simultanous development on same projects?
Any idea?
Many thanks,
Stefan

1. Put everything that your project needs under CVS control:
- buildscripts
- BC4J jarfiles
- BC4J generated files (java, xml, xcfg, jpx, cpx)
- .properties, package.html, gif, ...
- docu
- install scripts
- starter batch or exec, ...
2. Each developer should have a own JPR and JWS file. In a seperate location those files could be checked in frequently to easy allow the setup of a new Developer workstation
3. Use a sourcecode formatter (e.g. jalopy) on the BC4J generated java files to reduce merge conflicts because of empty lines generated by JDev dialogs
4. Adding new files is no problem:
- if you add new BC4J objects (AM, VO, ASC, EO, VL) also checkin the bc4j package XML so new files will be added.
- set in project settings common / input paths - "Scan source path ..."
5. Deleting BC4J files is a problem, because JDev does not automatically remove them from the project. So if someone deletes BC4J objects, you should close the project and delete it manually from the jpr file
6. Close the project before making a CVS update wih external tool like Tortoise because of JDev caches

I need to batch rename and relink files in indesign

I have a whole bunch of files that I need to rename ( I need to add a prefix on to the front eg. a whole group of files called "plan.jpg" 01.jpg, 02.jpg, etc... need to now read ORD_plan.jpg, ORD_01.jpg, etc...) I can batch rename the files in adobe bridge, but I have to go in one by one and re-connect the links. Is there a script which can batch rename and relink all the files?
Thanks!

This biterscripting script may possibly help. It takes two input arguments.
directory - directory under which the .jpg files are located
prefix - prefix which will be added to each file's name
# Script RenameJpg.txt
var str directory, prefix, list, filepath, name
cd $directory
find -n "*.jpg" > $list
while ($list <> "")
do
    lex "1" $list > $filepath ; stex -p "^/^l[" $filepath > $name
    set $name = $prefix+$name
    system copy ("\""+$filepath+"\"") ("\""+$name+"\"")
done
This is the way you would use it - copy and paste the script code into file C:/Scripts/RenameJpg.txt, then enter this command into biterscripting.
script "C:/Scripts/RenameJpg.txt" directory("C:/test") prefix("ORD_")
It will rename C:/test/plan.jpg to C:/test/ORD_plan.jpg, C:/test/01.jpg to C:/test/ORD_01.jpg, etc.
Important: I am using the 'system copy' command so that files are copied instead of renamed. Once you are happy with the test, you can change that command to 'system rename'.
Also, if the .jpg files are within subfolders of C:/test, change the 'find -n' to 'find -r -n'. -r means recursive = search in subfolders. Syntax for the find command at http://www.biterscripting.com/helppages/lf.html

Batch renaming and relinking in InDesign CS4

Is there a plug-in available for InDesign that will batch rename and relink placed images?
In Quark, I used Badia Link Renamer which worked perfectly but it's not available for InDesign. (Was told they hope to have it incorporated into BigPicture for CS5.)
Is there something similar currently available for InDesign?
Essentially I need it to rename and relink files with random names to structured names such as:
001_Cust_000123456789_art_r1.tif
(I love that Bridge does batch renaming but then I have to manually update links in InDesign which is extremely time-consuming. I've also manually renamed/relinked files individually with Adobe Dialogue but it doesn't seem to be part of CS4.)
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Been looking for something for months.
Thanks!

Here is my last version of the script, it deals with multiple instances of the same file.

Rename and move files on remote FTP server

Hello,
We have a scenario where XI transfers a file to a remote FTP server at partner end using File Receiver Communication channel.
These files are huge,so there is a risk of picking up incomplete files at their end when XI is still writing the file on their server.
Hence,we have decided to follow the approach which is already mentioned a number of times on SDN that XI would place a file with different name and in a different folder on partner's FTP server.
This would then be renamed and moved to the required folder on the same server.
This could easily be managed using a script at partner end but there are some problems when they are not able to do this.
Is there a possibility to achieve this using 'Run OS command after Message Processing' in XI when Source and target folders both are on partner's FTP server?
If yes,can anybody please provide code for such a script and corresponding setting for this parameter in XI Communication channel?
Thanks a lot in advance.
Best Regards,
Shweta

Hello,
Thanks for the reply.
But this has to be done in FTP session because the source and target directory both are on remote FTP server.
Instead,in SAP documentation,I found a parameter :
ftp.putSafe=YES|NO
Use this specification to define whether a transferred file is first created with a temporary name and only renamed once the transfer is complete (YES), or whether it is created with its final name at the start of the transfer (NO). The latter case can lead to problems if an application on the FTP server accesses the file before the transfer is complete. If you specify YES, this problem is avoided because the file only becomes visible with the search name when the transfer is complete.
The default value is NO.
Doesn't it serve the same purpose?Do we still need to write scripts?
I have tried to include this in Additional Parameters in Advanced Mode as:
ftp.putSafe YES
but I can't check in test system whether it is really working or not.I would like to confirm if it helps.
First of all,I would like to know if this setting works for XI3.0 SP17.
Can anyone please help.
Thanks.

Deploy reports in ssrs which are renamed and avoid multiple copies

Hi, I have renamed few of my reports renamed and checked in. Usually we deploy it from BIDS off of TFS reports solution. We are using SQL Server 2008 R2 version. I tried deploying these reports to DEV & QA environments and report manager has 2 copies
of the same report one with the old name & the other with the rename. What would be the approriate way to delete these reports from Production without having to do it manually.
Thanks in advance...........

You have to delete them manually in this case.
There is no way around it.
Thanks! Josh

Package batch renaming and relinking duplicates

A plug-in/script available for InDesign to package some folders indd files into one folder with .indd, .pdf, .idml, links and fonts in folder, if images are duplicated between documents, rename with suffix "_1, _2, ....
I need it to rename and relink files with random names to add suffix "_1, _2, _n number" images are in .eps, .pdf, .psd, .jpg, etc. Names such as:
design.tif      design_1.tif
design.eps    design_1.eps
abcd.psd   adcd_1.psd
abcd.psd   adcd_2.psd
abcd.psd   adcd_3.psd
abcd.psd   adcd_4.psd
design20.tif      design20_1.tif
design_14.eps    design_14_1.eps
abcd.pdf   adcd_1.pdf
abcd.jpg   adcd_2.jpg
Manually update links in InDesign, which is extremely time taking. I have found many scripts, but those are either keeping only one link when a package or changing one by one in each indesign documents and than package as usual.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Thank you for your great help. It is very useful in future.
It is doing 90% work of the package. It keeps link folder with one link, which is coming suppose in more than two documents.
Same name images used between documents, with may be some changes,
I need a script to rename and relink duplicate files with random names to add suffix "_1, _2, _n number" images are in .eps, .pdf, .psd, .jpg, etc., and package.

Jheadstart, JDeveloper and CVS and TeamWork

Hi
We're four-developer team and we've been working with Jheadstart for some months. Now we want to work with team options that provide jdeveloper (CVS or SCM). But, we are a too much suprised with all the problems that other developers had with CVS, we read it in some jdeveloper forums (JDeveloper and CVS and TeamWork and JDeveloper and CVS
I get very worry about the problems that developers had with CVS and that at last they don't find a better solution than migrate to jdeveloper 10.1.3. All the forums recomend migrate to jdeveloper 10.1.3 for better support of team work, but I read (some time ago) that jdeveloper 10.1.3 still doesn't support ADF, then I assume we cannot use it with Jheadstart, Am I right? Is there a way to use Jheadstart with JDeveloper 10.1.3 Preview right now?
What do you recomend for team work with Jheadstart?
Thanks in advance

Liceth,
As you problably know, the JHeadstart team consists of consultants and we face the exact same problems and share the exact same frustrations as you do on an every day basis at our customer projects. It is indeed not easy to use JDeveloper in a multi-developer environment. In all fairness much of this is a given when doing file-based development, and I have seen the exact same problems in situations where other IDE's such as Eclipse etc were used. But using advanced frameworks like ADF and BC4J makes matters more complex, because the declarative way of developing these applications using drag&drop and powerful wizards make you as a developer be less 'in touch' with the file or files that are actually created and updated, and also there tend to be more files in such an architecture that are changed simultaneously by many developers at once.
Merging is the only way out of this mess, and merge tools are not perfect, far from it. They get better and better but at some point you'll need to understand the semantics of the files that are to be merged to be able to merge them correctly, and merge tools will in all likelyhood never become that smart.
Until they do, the only thing one can do is to tackle the problem from the other side: if merge tools dont understand the files they merge, we should take into account the weaknesses of these merge tools, and set up our files so that changes CAN be automatically merged, or in most cases at least. Indeed, JDeveloper 10.1.3 is taking good steps in this direction for notoriously tricky files such as JPR files and such. But the problem will never completely go away.
As for using 10.1.3, well, as you said the preview does not contain ADF so JHeadstart will never run on it. We are developing JHeadstart 10.1.3 that will run on the production version of JDeveloper 10.1.3, but it will be a long time before that release will see the light. And although JDeveloper 10.1.3 is a kick-ass IDE (imho), it will not magically solve all multi-user issues. It will just be a bit more bearable.
Is there ever a real solution for it? I don't know. I have worked intensively with the Oracle Designer product before I switched to Java, and that tool, which uses a database rather than files to store its information, was almost perfect when dealing with multi-user development. It could do so because the level at which conflicts occur is VERY finegrained (so not at 'code line' level but sometimes as far as 'individual properties in a property inspector' level), plus the advantages of instantaneous locking in the database when modifying something. And, thinking of it, it could do so because it dealt with 'structured objects' rather than files, thereby having some 'semantic' information about the data. I have this feeling we can only 'get it right' if we will treat, for instance, a Java file not as a collection of lines of code, but of a structured object tree with members, constructors, methods, parameters etc. etc., and store it as such, instead of storing it as a flat OS file.
Just ranting here (this really should be a personal BLOG entry rather than a forum post, but oh well). As you can tell, its a subject that is very close to every developer's heart.
Kind regards,

JDeveloper and CVS and TeamWork

Hi,
we have a small team with 4 members and are developing in JDeveloper 10.1.2 with CVS plug-in (struts, toplink, jsp).
We are beginners and are frustrated now: every commit/update causes problems.
Always are problems with
- project.jpr files (synchronization among developers)
- sessions.xml (we cannot really add this file to cvs)
- state of offline tables (and digrams) are sometimes wrong show: restart of JDeveloper is necessary
- many JDevelopers files are unvisible, but must be added to cvs
- and more and more
Please - are somebody using JDeveloper & CVS in team with satisfaction? Are our problems beginner-problems or is this way wrong?
Thanks for your experience.

My biggests issues with JDeveloper and CVS are as follows:
1. Oracle puts out an article that talks about Version controllable XML and the biggest culprits of violators of this rule are the Oracle project files: StrutsPAgeFlow.oxd_struts, ViewController.jpr, and Model.jpr. Not nice when you can no longer open your Struts-config.xml file due to all the <==== lines in the file! In almost all instances, since we've built most of the files and aren't adding/removing much from the project as a whole, we can easily correct these problems then commit again, or just issue a clean update on them, and disregard (especially when it appears to be an ordering issue)
2. Also, we've seen model.jpr files switch contents (areas look like they are swapped around) in between versions. Why? The files are identical except the position of the nodes.
3. I really want to know my OUT-OF-SYNC files BEFORE I do an update. Kind of like the Uncommitted files window, I'd like: Hey, how out of sync am I?
4. The COMPARE utility is very nice, however, once CVS takes over and does the automatic MERGE, you're really left with a mess (at times). Any time we get a "failure to update" message, we issue a compare against the current reposistory version verses version on disk and see what the differences are. Then we search for whether our stuff was merged properly.
5. The only docs I've seen on Jdeveloper and CVS are "introductory" type documentation. Don't put out a document that talks about issues that are "out-of-scope" when these are the very issues that people need to deal with every day, and are looking for answers. The "oracle jdeveloper 10g" handbook is no better, offering about 4 pages of an "overview of CVS".
6. People have asked before about CVS, even on Metalink and an answer from Oracle is to look at an OTN post. I'm sorry, but that really doesn't cut it, especially when your support bill is over $500K/year.
enough rambling...
CVS and Jdeveloper 10.1.2 are working at our shop with 3-4 developers on the project, but it can be paintful during the "conflicts during merge" times.

Batch Rename and now files will not open

i hope someone can help me. i moved some .dng files from an external drive to my mapbook pro using batch rename in bridge CS5. The files moved to my desktop ine, but now they will not open. When I try to open them the digital convertor opens up. When I try to open them in photoshop it says it is a unrecognized format. They were fine ten minutes ago in bridge. does anyone have anything they can have me try? I am depserate to get these images printed up tonight and I don't have time to edit them again.

You probably forgot to include the extension .dng or renamed with an extra dot (.) in the filename. Be surr to have only 1 dot with the three letter extension dng at the end (. dng)
You can use Bridge for that again to rename and use the dng extension

Batch Renaming and renaming folders not working

I have copied and pasted 500 RAW canon images from a 5D Mark III into a new folder on a Drobo 5d via firewire 800 card reader (from two 16Gb Extreme Pro Sandisk CF cards) - The drobo is connected via Thunderbolt. Both cards transferred well and I batch renamed the first 278 pictures. The first thing I noticed was that I could not chnage the folder name from Untitled folder to the new name that I wanted to call it. I tried to do this but nothing happened. I went into the folder on the drobo and batch renamed the first lot of images. There was no problem, everything worked fine. After I copied and pasted the second card ( I can not use photo downloader with file renaming with the firewire 800 card reader - something that I think is ridiculous), I tried to batch rename all the new images following on in file name from the first ones. I press Rename and then nothing happens..... I still can not change the folder either. I am running Mac OSx 10.7.4 and CS6.

- The drobo is connected via Thunderbolt.
Check this (long) thread and especially post 53 where Peter Britt Bailey had also found that changing Drobo Thunderbolt to USB connection solved his problems:

( I can not use photo downloader with file renaming with the firewire 800 card reader - something that I think is ridiculous),
That is odd, I have owned a Lexar FW 800 card reader but this one died eventually and could not find a replacement until recently I found the DeLock FW 800 card reader.
Never had nor have any trouble with those FW800 card readers when renaming my files using Photodownloader.
Only the second option to back up the original to an other disk is not possible in Photodownloader.
