Script to archive File Server Data

Hi All,
I'm looking for a script to remove the file server data by keeping last 2 years?
As

Hi As,
In addition, To delete old files based on the datetime via Powershell, please refer to the script below, which will delete files created older than 2 years in the folder:
$years=2
$limit = (Get-Date).Addyears(-$years)
$path = "e:\file"
# Delete files older than the $limit.
Get-ChildItem -Path $path -Recurse -Force | Where-Object { !$_.PSIsContainer -and $_.CreationTime -lt $limit } | Remove-Item -Force -whatif
The -whatif parameter will list the files which will be deleted by running the the cmdlet remove-item but do not execute the deletion.
If there is anything else regarding this issue, please feel free to post back.

Oracle script to extract SQL server data to XML/CSX file format

HI,
I have a requirement like-
Create an Oracle script to Extract data from SQL Server to XML/CSV file format in File server (Oracle Server and File Server are in different boxes).
Create an Oracle script to Retrieve data from the File Server, validate and load into the Oracle staging table
Create an Oracle script to Push data from Oracle Staging table to native SQL Server table
We may/may not be using the staging table
Could anyone please respond immediately as it is urgent ?

Urgent issues indicate a live/production system is having problems and a company is losing money, or customers are being prevented from using it.
For urgent issues you should raise your issue with Oracle Support using your customer support identifier.
The community forums are for non-urgent issues. To suggest such issues are urgent is considered rude, as the people who help here are volunteers with their own jobs to do, so demanding their time for your "urgent" issue is not appropriate. It also suggests that you think your issue is more important than other people's issues, so you are being rude to those people too. Your issue is no more important than anyone elses.
In relation to your question, you need to provide more information.
Please read: Re: 2. How do I ask a question on the forums?
When you refer to "SQL Server" are you referring to the Microsoft SQL Server product, or are you just referring to a physical server with your oracle database on it?

Migrate File Server data from one volume to another

I am looking for the best way to handle this situation. We have a VHD that has a 4KB cluster size that is getting close to the 16TB mark so no expanding past that due to the cluster size. In the past whenever i needed to pull this off i would preload as
much data as possible with robocopy, then during a maintenance window take the share offline, do a refresh with robocopy then flip everything that i needed to flip drive letter and share setup etc.
I have the space to do a complete copy like this so that is not an issue. But other things to keep in mind are the data is deduplicated so we are talking 20TB total. The other is the backup of the File Server is done at a file level with DPM so DPM will
see this as a new volume and be an issue.
At this point i have time to plan and am just looking for ideas.

Hi,
If you want to copy files/folders from one Volume to another volume, you could use the File Server Migration Tool (FSMT) or Robocopy to accomplish.
The tool can move all of the files from the shares on your original volume to the new volume.
FSMT and Robocopy will not copy Share permissions but only NTFS permissions. So if the drive letter will not be changed, you can backup and restore the Share permission with steps here:

Extractors for Archive files & online data

Hi experts,
I have requirements to develop extractors to extract both ADK files and online data for MM and PS. Online PS data were extracted previously through generic extractors with FM (F2) and MM with generic extrator with View
I identified the table MSEG, MKPF for MM and MSEG for PS were the data need to be pull from. The ADK files reside in a file system and are accessible through PBS index.
1- Could you pl guide me through a strategy how to proceed?
2- Is possible to develop a generic datasource with function module that with be able to fetch ADK files & online data for PS
3- For MM, I am thinking at 2LIS_03_BF since I am extracting MM: Material movements
Since that extractor is delta capable but I am looking for full upload, could you pl provide steps how to work around that if possible?
Thanks.

Thanks for replying,
I have already reviewed that document, it is not helpful in my case since I can retrieve archive data using PBS index. I think that I have to develop a FM extractor capable to fetch online and archive data for appl. comp. PS.
Several fileds need to be accessed on tables MSEG, AFKO, AFVC, EBAN, ESLL, ESLH, t430...
I already have a FM module capable to fetch online data... I need to modify it so that it would fetch online and archive data...
I am looking here for the logic ... could you please experts paste a template code capable to fullfill that requirement or sent it under (blaise.pascal(at)ymail.com) I will really appreciate.

Migrating single file server to failover cluster file server

Hi,
Currently we have one file server which is our Domain controller also. File Server data stored in SAN storage lun. Users home folders also resides at file server.Now we want to create 2 node failover cluster file server.
Questions:
1)Can we assign same storage lun to failover cluster?
2)Do we need to assign all permissions and storage quota again?
What is the best option to achieve this goal.

Hi,
if you attach the same LUN to the failover cluster the NTFS permission (security tab) are retained because they are stored in the LUN itself
Share permission are lost because they are stored in the registry of the file server. If you have few share with a simple share permission structure, simply recreate them in the cluster. If you have a lot of shares and complex permission tree, you have to
export registry hives related to lanmanserver\shares

File Server Migration Source and Target Data Validation

Does anyone know of a power shell script/CLI command or some other way to verify source and target data after a file server migration? I want to make sure that the shares that are migrated from the source and target are an exact match. Thank
you.

Hi,
An example is provided in this article:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/heyscriptingguy/archive/2011/10/08/easily-compare-two-folders-by-using-powershell.aspx
$fso = Get-ChildItem -Recurse -path C:\fso
$fsoBU = Get-ChildItem -Recurse -path C:\fso_BackUp
Compare-Object -ReferenceObject $fso -DifferenceObject $fsoBU
And actually Robocopy could also do this job with /L and /log:file parameter.

Problem in Archiving File From FTP Server to XI File Server Using FCC

Hi,
The scenario is file to IDOc. XI has to read the input file from client FTP server and archive it to XI local file server. Archiving on XI server is working fine without FCC (for xml files). But with FCC, the sender FTP adapter is archiving empty files (0 kb files).
I've checked SXMB_MONI, even there I can see the file data and the IDoc is getting posted with proper data. But, the archived file is empty. Not sure about the problem.
Please suggest. Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Joe.

Hi,
File adapter has the functionality which support the empty file handling.
Handling of Empty Files
Specify how empty files (length 0 bytes) are to be handled.
○ Do Not Create Message
No XI messages are created from empty files.
The files are processed according to the selected Processing Mode.
For example, if the processing mode is Delete, empty files are deleted in the source directory.
○ Process Empty Files
XI messages are created with an empty main payload.
The files are processed according to the selected Processing Mode.
○ Skip Empty Files
No XI messages are created from empty files.
Empty files are skipped and remain in the source directory.

How to archive files in another ftp server?

Hi,gurus:
   My scenario is file to file and my sender adapter is ftp adapter.
   Now I want to archive the send file in another ftp server,how can I implement it?
   There is a parameter "Archive files on FTP server" when I choose the processing mode "archive".What's it's use？Thanks in advance.

Hi,Santhosh:
Thanks for your reply.
I have checked your blog before,and it is very useful for me.
I still have a problem about command line.
In an sap note,I found the principle of the execution of the command line is like below code:
import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;
public class test {
public static void main(String args[]) {
try {
Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
Process proc = rt.exec("C:/data/test.bat <param1> <param2>");
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
But you know this method has restriction.If my bat file has many commands,it only execute a part of commands(sometimes 8,sometimes 9 ).
My bat file is like below:
echo open 192.168.67.149 >c:
data
copyResult.txt
echo <username> >>c:
data
copyResult.txt
echo <password> >>c:
data
copyResult.txt
echo cd /receive>>c:
data
copyResult.txt
echo get %2>>c:
data
copyResult.txt
echo cd /ok>>c:
data
copyResult.txt
echo put %2>>c:
data
copyResult.txt
echo cd /archive>>c:
data
copyResult.txt
echo delete send.txt>>c:
data
copyResult.txt
echo quit >>c:
data
copyResult.txt
ftp -s:c:
data
copyResult.txt
del %2
I wanna merge all the "echo" in one command,so it may execute successfully,but I don't know the method.Any ideas?

My friend   there is   no   such one program which will do archive or   one function module which will do as you wanted .

Script for moving files and directory to archive

Hi,
I've search the web for good working script to archive my files and folder with no luck.
do you have a script that move and preserve the structure of older files and folders that have not been accessed for X days?

Hello, I found this quite quickly in the TechNet Gallery. It seems like it would do what you're looking to do.
https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/Archive-old-files-with-042f859a
# Powershell script - move old files to an archive location.

How can i retrieved data into the infocube from archived files

hi,
i have archived cube data and i have to load data into the cube from archived files.
so now i want to find archived files and how to load data into the cube.
thanks

Hi.....
Reloading archived data should be an exception rather than the general case, since data should be
archived only if it is not needed in the database anymore. When the archived data target is serving also as a
datamart to populate other data targets, Its recommend that you load the data to a copy of the original
(archived) data target, and combine the two resulting data targets with a MultiProvider.
In order to reload the data to a data target, you have to use the export DataSource of the archived data
target. Therefore, you create an update rule based on the respective InfoSource (technical name 8<data
target name>). You then trigger the upload either by using Update ODS data in data target or by
replicating the DataSources of the MYSELF source system and subsequently scheduling an InfoPackage
for the respective InfoSource
If you want to read the data for reporting or
control purposes, you have to write a report, which reads data from the archive files sequentially.
Alternatively, you can also use the Archiving Information System (AS). This tool enables you to define an
InfoStructure, and create reports based on these InfoStructures. The InfoStructures define an index for
the archive file data. At the moment, the archiving process in the BW system does not fill the
InfoStructures during the archiving session automatically. This has to be performed manually when
needed.
Another way of displaying data from the archive file is by using the Extractor checker (TCODE RSA3).
Enter the name of the export DataSource of the respective data target (name of the data target preceded
by 8), and choose the archive files that are to be read. The extractor checker reads the selected archive
files sequentially. Selection conditions can be entered for filtering but have to be entered in in internal
format
It will remain same in the change log table.

Script to make a file inventory on a file server

Hello
To accomplish a company audit, I have to create a script that scan our windows 2003 standard file server and create a report with a list of certain files type like mp3, video and so on. In the list have to be present path, file name, and file owner.
I already searched on Google, but I don't find anything usable.
Someone could help me ?
Thanks
Raven

I like that, except I'd change out FullName for Directory and maybe add the size, which is usually helpful in a storage audit.
$searchdir = "d:\ShareRoot","e:\ShareRoot"
$ext = "*.mp3","*.wma" ## etc etc
$searchdir | % { gci $_ -recurse -include $ext | select Name,Directory,@{Name="Size in MB";expression={$_.Length / 1mb}},@{Name="Owner";expression={$_.getaccesscontrol().Owner}}} | Export-Csv C:\DirResult.csv -notype
Thanks, this is a very useful script. How could the output be amended to also include file creation and modification date?

Change the storage server of archiving files

Hello Gurus,
I have archiving files in iseries storage, but because the disks in iseries servers is very expensive i want to change the storage server to Intel server with Win2003 or Linux S.O.
This change is posibble? i would appreciate your suggestions.
Regards,
Ernesto Castro.

Hi,
With my understanding about accessing the archive data from the storage system, i can say that it is possible.
1. First you should check with archive server vendors (such as opentext or Documentum) whether their application will support in this scenario.
2. When you are relocating the archived data from one storage to another storage system then the link between the archived data and the physical path will be disconnected.
Solution: A. create a content repository of new location and assign this content repository to all the archiving objects that are affected.
B. Delete the build Infostructure for the archiving objects and after assigning the new content repository build the infostructure again and try to access the archived data.
Hope this mail could help you.
-Thanks,
Ajay

Transfer data from File server to SAP R/3 AS

hi, i need to transfer data from file server (http:/.....) to SAP R/3 application server. I have the HTTP Host name (http:/......) and login details. please let me know how i can resolve this.
best regards
Neeraj

Hi
You need to create a RFC Destination with the details what you have, then you can create a RFC Fucntion module to read the data, according to the destination system, you have to code that, once you
pick the data from the destination system, later you need to convert it to SAP Format.
To trace your fm status, there are function module availabe in sap, search with http, you can find.

A script for adding the current date to file name?

I am working in Indesign CS3. I frequently save file as PDFs into a designated folder. I was hoping for help in writing a script that would apply the current date to the end of the file name, when saved into this folder. Some days, I save the same file several times, into this folder. I was also hoping there was a way to add a date and version, for example "filename_2.25.11(1).pdf" Is this possible? Can someone help me?

ok, I ended up with this test routine:
on adding folder items to this_folder after receiving added_items
tell application "Finder"
repeat with this in added_items
my checkifopened(this)
display dialog (name of this) as text
end repeat
end tell
end adding folder items to
on checkifopened(this)
set a to POSIX path of (this as alias)
repeat until 1 = 0
## don't like that one because it relies on an error msg ... so
(** try
set b to do shell script "lsof | grep " & quoted form of a
on error
exit repeat
end try**)
##so I use this one
set b to do shell script "lsof"
if b does not contain a then
exit repeat
else
say "still opened"
end if
end repeat
end checkifopened
this is a folder action that tests if the added file is still opened by an application... there is no delay between each test-loop since lsof takes some time to execute...
And after adding a timeout (just in case) to this function the final script looks like this:
on adding folder items to thefolder after receiving added_items
tell application "Finder"
set folderkind to kind of thefolder
set myfiles to every item of thefolder whose name does not contain "#" and kind is not folderkind
repeat with myfile in myfiles
set myfile_datestring to my get_datestring(creation date of myfile)
set myfilename to name of myfile
if (count of every character of myfilename) > 4 and (character -4 of myfilename) as text is "." then
set filestatus to my checkifopened(myfile, 60)
if filestatus = false then
display dialog "timeout on folder action"
else
set tmp to ((characters 1 through -5 of myfilename) & "#" & myfile_datestring & (characters -4 through -1 of myfilename)) as text
set myfilename to my checknamewith_pdfsuffix(tmp, thefolder, false)
set name of myfile to myfilename
end if
end if
end repeat
end tell
end adding folder items to
on get_datestring(mydate)
return year of mydate & "-" & (characters -2 through -1 of (("0" & (month of mydate as integer)) as text)) & "-" & (characters -2 through -1 of (("0" & (day of mydate as integer)) as text)) as text
end get_datestring
on checknamewith_pdfsuffix(n, D, looped)
--check if filename exists in D
-- so if "A File.pdf" exists it names it "A File 1.pdf","A File 2.pdf",...
#n = string of the filename
#D = file reference to the directory to check
#looped = boolean used for recursive loop...
tell application "Finder"
set thefiles to name of every item of (D as alias)
end tell
if thefiles contains n then
if looped = false then
set n to ((characters 1 through -5 of n) & "(1)" & (characters -4 through -1 of n)) as text
my checknamewith_pdfsuffix(n, D, true)
else
set tmp to (last word of ((characters 1 through -5 of n) as text) as integer)
set tmpcount to (count of characters of (tmp as text)) + 5
set tmp to tmp + 1
set n to ((characters 1 through (-1 * tmpcount) of n) & "(" & tmp & ")" & (characters -4 through -1 of n)) as text
my checknamewith_pdfsuffix(n, D, true)
end if
else
return n
end if
end checknamewith_pdfsuffix
on checkifopened(this, mytimeout)
## this file reference
## timeout in seconds
set a to POSIX path of (this as alias)
set startdate to current date
repeat until 1 = 0
## don't like that one because it relies on an error msg ... so
(** try
set b to do shell script "lsof | grep " & quoted form of a
on error
exit repeat
end try**)
##so I use this one
set b to do shell script "lsof"
if b does not contain a then
return true
else if ((current date) - startdate) > mytimeout then
return false
else
##say "still opened"
end if
end repeat
end checkifopened
to use this save this script in /Library/Scripts/Folder Action Scripts
and add this as a folder action to your folder...
The script processes all files inside that folder each time a new files is added...
