Retrieving desired file name in fileFormat plugin

Hello all!
I'm having trouble finding out how to retrive the desierd file name in my experimental file format plugin. I've used SimpleFormat as a starting point and after i tracked down the datastructure of the file I'm supposed to write, all I can find is a handle to a write descriptor. Dead end as far as i coul'd see.
The thing is, I need to manipulate the file from another process outside of photoshop, and therefor I need to communicate the name of the file the user saved out of the plugin to be used at a later time.
It seems to me the process of file handeling is designed to be opaque?
Edit; oh I forgot, this is on OS X...

PIFormat.h version 11 (Photoshop CS4) added this item to the record.
uint16 *finalSpec;
/**< A utf16 encoded string that contains the location of the final file. Use this for reference only.This will give you the parent folder and the name of the final file.
Read and write via the @ref fileSpec2 only and not this value. */

How to retrieve various file names from a filepath of application server

Hi All,
I am using a FILEPATH of application server which can have multiple file names i want to retrieve data from all the existing files.
i am using FM "GET_NAME_FILE" but it is applicable only for file name.
so my question is how to fetch various file names of particular filepath.
Thanks in advance.

Hello Mayank,
You can use the below FM and code
PARAMETERS: p_file TYPE rlgrap-filename.
***AT Selection-Screen*******
AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE-REQUEST FOR p_file.
***Function module for F4 help from Application server
CALL FUNCTION '/SAPDMC/LSM_F4_SERVER_FILE'

Retrieving original file name

Recently changed file names and now need to revert back to the original file name created via camera. Can this be done in LR 4 or is this info deleted?
Thanks!

It depends on where you did the rename.....if you did it in Lightroom then yes the original file name is retained (see the Metadata Panel for old and new names). But if you renamed before importing, then no, Lightroom will have no record of the original name.

Retrieve file name from full file path

I am trying to retrieve a file name from a path (ex. c:\temp\tes.txt) using the following code, but it is given me an error of "The method split(String) in the type String is not applicable for the arguments (char).
{code}
String filepath = item.getName();
String[] buf = filepath.split('/');
String filename = buf[buf.length-1];
{code}
I tried to use double quote instead of single quote, but it is not returning anything.
{code}
String[] buf = filepath.split("/");
{code}
Anyone knows why? Thanks.

How is this related to JDBC?
Anyway, is the path separator actually a forward slash? Isn't it a backward slash?
If you're using Apache Commons FileUpload (which I guess, the 'item.getName()' is recognizeable), then just read their FAQ: [http://commons.apache.org/fileupload/faq.html#whole-path-from-IE].

Retrieving file name using web agent

When uploading to the database using interMedia web agent and an HTML form, is the file name (as well as the file contents) passed to the agent?
If so, how does one retrieve the file name on the server side?
Thanks for insight.

Hi John,
OK, you got me thinking, so I just had to look :-) Turns out its not in the documentation as such. Its in the doc changes section at the end of the README. (Because, now I really think about it, I added the code after the docs were last updated).

How to allow user to select pdf file on local machine and populate field with file name only

Folks,
I have a project requirement that I am stumped on. I am admittedly a novice, so forgive questions that may seem obvious.
My requirement is a form running on a client system where the user can click a button and select a PDF file name from a PDF on their local machine and then populate a form field with that file path & filename. The file names vary between all machines, so there is no static list. Note that the PDF is not embedded, nothing is executed, I simply need the file name.
There are several of these on a form (20+), so manual name entry is too error prone. I would like to use a 'browse' type dialog, but can not figure out how to implement it.
I've looked at app.browseForFile, but the users can not install a javascript file in their adobe folder or any other files; the functionality has to be integral with the original PDF.
Functionally, this is no different from the image object file browse, except that I need a PDF instead of an image file, so there doesn't seem like there should be a security issue that is any different from those surrounding the image object.
I've been stumped on this for the entire week, and I have a deadline rapidly approaching, so any examples or suggestions (please remember I'm a novice) would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks for the reply Paul - do you have any sample code of how to attach the PDF? Or how the user can select a PDF to open? I might be able to attach it, retrieve the file name, and then un-attach it.
Alternatively, do you know how to retrieve the file name from the imagePath object? It will let you select PDF files, but I can't find info on how to retrieve the file name. It should be the way you would retrieve the file name for an image.
As a novice in this, thanks for your help and patience!

File name in the Receiver Adapter

Hi,
I need to create a file with the name as ZZZCCYYMMDDHHMMSS.txt
where ZZZ is the constant
CCYYMM is the date of file creation
DDHHMMSS is the time of file creation.
There MUST NOT be any spaces in the file name
Eg ZZZ20110314152530.txt
I am using the Receiver File Adapter with Cntent Conversion. I tried using Add Time stamp option. But that does not sattisfy the required Naming conventions for file name.
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards
Harry

Hi Harish,
Your requirement is to generate a dynamic file name @ target side right??
If so best option is go for UDF. (I hope you heard about UDF already)
There is something called ASMA... (check it out)
Have a look @ following. So that you can get some Idea about ASMA
In Google Type : dynamic file name in Pi
Select 1st link- sap technical
After this try to write own UDF to get desired file name @ target side..
Thanks,

Can I use data entered in PDF form's field(s) to auto-populate Save As file name?

Hello,
I want to automate, as much as possible, the "Save As" process by using some of the data that the user entered in the fillable PDF form.
For example, I want to include the user's First Name and Last Name that they entered in the form to be part of the saved file name.
First Name: Bob
Last Name: Smith
Therefore, when you select to Save As part of the new file name will already have <BobSmith><today's date>.PDF
Form was created using LiveCycle Designer 11
PDF version: 1.7, Adobe Extension Level 8 (Acrobat X)
Thanks for any information that you can share.
Regards,
Roch

You should try the LiveCycle Designer forum, but from my experience with Acrobat forms it's not possible. What you can do is either save the file using the desired file name and path (without user interaction), if the script runs from a trusted context, or you can prompt the user with the desired file-name for the file, but not enforce them to use it, nor populate it into the Save As dialog itself.

Getting Receive File Name and status of application from Biztalk database.

Hello all,
I want to retrieve Receive file name and status of application (started, partially started) in a stored procedure
querying Biztalk databases.
Please share if anybody have an Idea.
Thanks

Hi Nilesh,
Status of BizTalk application can be obtained using ExplorerOM API provided by product. It's Application class has a Status property that returns one of Not Applicable, Started, Stopped, Partially Started.
using Microsoft.BizTalk.ExplorerOM;
private string GetApplicationStatus(string applicationName)
BtsCatalogExplorer catalog = new BtsCatalogExplorer();
string status = "";
try
//connection string to BizTalk management database
catalog.ConnectionString = "SERVER=.;DATABASE=BizTalkMgmtDb;Integrated Security=SSPI";
Microsoft.BizTalk.ExplorerOM.Application app = catalog.Applications[applicationName];
if (app == null)
throw new Exception(String.Format("Application '{0}' cannot be found.", applicationName));
status = app.Status.ToString();
catch (Exception ex)
//Handle exception
System.Diagnostics.EventLog.WriteEntry("MyMonitoryingApp", "Exception call stack: " + ex.ToString());
finally
if (catalog != null) { catalog.Dispose(); }
return status;
UPDATE: Found the thread from where I got this code. Thanks to Ashwin for providing it.

Current Date in file name

Hi gurus,
I export daily a report to csv using RSCRM_BAPI ... I need to the put the date of the extraction in the file name (export_csv_120506.csv) ... It's possible ?
export_csv_ + "sysdate" ... something like that ?
Thanks in advance for your help,

Hi,
I would suggest you to write an UNIX shell script (if it suits your environment) to rename from whatever existing fileanme to your desired file name.
Hope this helps.

Output file name in publication object

Hello,
I trying to change the default delivery behavior of publication object via C#.
I have a publication object which contain some source reports (CR 2008) and CR report which is the dynamic recipient source.
I need to retrieve full file name and path of output report from dynamic recipient source (e.g. C:\Myfolder\Recipient_ID\recipient_name.doc), and retrieve only file name from dynamic recipient source and send file via email (e. g. recipient_name.doc)
I also want to manipulate some additional parameters from dynamic recipient source like report date (not start date of publication). Default behavior of CMC is that I have only few placeholders.
Can I do it programatically?
Thanks.

Hi Leon.
I have the same trouble with publication filename.
How can I proceed to assign dinamicaly a filename to a bobj publication?
I have some crystal Reports that take data from SAP Queries.
And I have joined together the crystals in one publication on the BOBJ portal.
My problem start when I try to assign a filename to the PDF result of the publication.
The options I have are not sufficient because I need it to be according to the filter of the SAP queries,
just to know exactly by the filename, what's the Crystal PDF result about.
I have that descriptions in a SAP queryable infoobject.
Is it possible to do what I want.
Please how can I proceed or how could I do something similar.

B2B 11g - Managing File name from a JMS queue.

Hi,
I have configured a Listening Channel to use Generic File 1.0 (to poll a file from local dir) and send it to a Trading Partner. In B2B User Guide it has been said to have the file name as %TO_PARTY%_%DOCTYPE_NAME%_%DOCTYPE_REVISION%_%MESSAGE_ID%_TIMESTAMP.txt. Extension can be anything (txt, dat, etc).
It is necessary to have this format? What if I want to send a file with name say ABC.txt*.
How will I manage this file name pattern if I have to read the file content from a JMS queue (and then send the file to the Trading Partner).
Thanks,
Sanjay

How to obtain actual file name of a FILESTREAM file.

When a file is added to a FILESTREAM Blob field in SQL Server 2008 the file is renamed to something like 0000001c-0000019c-0004. Is there a way to retrieve this file name after a file is added? I thought that [BLOB_Field].PathName() was promising
but this turns out to be some sort of virtual filepath that is only used when accessing the file through the filesystem and not via T-SQL. Any ideas?

Many Thanks to Kevin and Jacob, from your help I've been able to whip up a solution. It hasn't been throughly tested but seems to be what I'm looking for.
If you want to use this solution, you'll need to add the following Stored Procedures to your FILESTREAM database.
CREATE
PROCEDURE
[dbo].[procDBCC_PAGE]

@filenum INT

You'll need to add the following Stored Procedure to your 'master' database. Don't forgo the

I'm very grateful for the advice given here, but I think there still might be a legitimate reason to store the new file name that is created by SQL Server 2008. For instance, your MDF file might become corrupted beyond repair AND you have no backup. Stranger
things have happened. In this case, you would still have your important files available on the server (named like 00000068-000008b0-0003) but you'd be unable to salvage them. You could use trial and error, I suppose (ie. Try adding .doc to the file names and
see what works), but this would be unworkable as soon as you've got files in their hundreds.
Maybe this is just paranoia. Nevertheless I hope this can be of assistance to others.
Thanks again Kevin and Jacob.

PL SQL File Download - file name shows up as procedure name?

Hello,
I have been following the article below to create a download link to my db blobs, however when downloading the files, the file name appears as the procedure name as opposed to the desired file name.
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10513_01/doc/appdev.310/e10497/up_dn_files.htm#CIHDDJGF
any ideas why this is happening?
Thanks,

I've been having this exact problem all morning and I haven't found a workaround yet. The example posted by ptjurley doesn't quite clarify it for me. I am trying to play a video located in a table using an embedded windows media player. I'm working off these instructions: http://iadvise.blogspot.com/2007/10/apex-implementing-video-on-your-apex.html
This is the code for the otherwise blank HTML region on the page:
<object id="MediaPlayer" width=320 height=286 classid="CLSID:22D6f312-B0F6-11D0-94AB-0080C74C7E95" standby="Loading Windows Media Player components..." type="application/x-oleobject" codebase="http://activex.microsoft.com/activex/controls/mplayer/en/nsmp2inf.cab#Version=6,4,7,1112">
<param name="filename" value="#OWNER#.download_video_file?p_file_id=935">
<param name="Showcontrols" value="True">
<param name="autoStart" value="True">
<embed type="application/x-mplayer2" src="#OWNER#.download_video_file?p_file_id=935" name="MediaPlayer" width=720 height=540></embed>
</object>
Even when the filename and embed source is left blank like this: <param name="filename" value=""> I get the same error when trying to load the page. How exactly was this problem fixed, if it was resolved? I assume it's something to do with APEX not recognizing that #OWNER# is a variable within the HTML region, but I could be wrong.
Also, the code for my procedure differs from the example given in the above link, since APEX didn't like the way it was written. This is the download_video_file procedure I am trying to run:
create or replace PROCEDURE download_video_file(p_file_id IN HOMEPAGE_PHOTOS.id%TYPE) as
v_mime VARCHAR2(48);
v_length NUMBER;
v_file_name VARCHAR2(2000);
Lob_loc BLOB;
BEGIN
SELECT blob_content, mime_type, dbms_lob.getlength(blob_content) file_length, name
INTO Lob_loc,v_mime,v_length,v_file_name
FROM HOMEPAGE_PHOTOS
WHERE id = p_file_id;
owa_util.mime_header(v_mime, FALSE);
htp.p('Content-length: '||v_length);
htp.p('Content-Disposition: attachment;
filename="'||replace(replace(substr(v_file_name,instr(v_file_name, '/')+1),chr(10),null),chr(13),null)||'"');
owa_util.http_header_close;
wpg_docload.download_file(Lob_loc);
end download_video_file;
