Serialization of file data

Hi
I'm sure the answer to this is simple, but I really can't think of how do it:
I have a class, SavedObject, which, at the moment, contains two variables, model and script. These two variables are Strings, pointing to a relative file.
I serialize this file for later use in a game. The problem is, if the two files aren't there, problems occur. What I want to do is to save the file data from the two files at serialization, this way all data is kept together, and theres no way for it to get lost.
The problem is, how?
I want to get the data from a file at serialization, save this data in the serialized file, which is a SavedObject. I then want to be able to load up the SavedObject and have a method that returns a FileInputStream, or similar that can work like any other one. The problem, is how is this done.
Sorry if it's confusion, if need be I'll try and explain a bit better.
Thanks
Adam

The problem isn't as such what do to, it's how to
accomplish it.
Do I read the data into an array of bytes, and
serialize this, and then some how provide a method
from that?
That's an option...
Another would be that in the writeObject implementation at one point you create a file Object, see how big it is (File had a size() method, didn't it?) and write the file size, then open an InputStream from that file and write everything you can read to the OutputStream you got as a paremeter.
The problem is after the file is loaded back up again,
how do I provide the acess tyo the data via. InputStreams?
If you do the above you can read the file size and knowing the amount of bytes read everything back, maybe writing it to a temporary file or storing the data in an array of bytes, and then provide an InputStream that reads from the created file or byte array.
I'm sure there are other / better ways too though...

Hi Experts,
I have to transfer huge file data (few lakhs records) to SAP business transaction. What are the different ways to do the same? I have heard of BDC and LSMW. But are there any more options?
Which option is best suited for huge file data?

Help - "Cannot copy file: Data error (Cyclic Redundancy Check)"

Hey there,
I'm having problems with my Zen Mosaic EZ00. Up until a few weeks ago it has been working fine however, since then, has begun to show the error message? "Cannot copy file: Data error (Cyclic Redundancy Check)" whenever I try to copy files on to it. I have tried the recovery software available and it only updated the firmware. Some files do occasionally (and very occasionally) copy but usually it shows the error message and cancels the copy.
I would really appreciate if anyone could help me with this?
Many thanks :smileytongue:

sorry for the double post!

How to specify inclusion and exclusion rules for File data sources

This is the seed URL for a file data source: file://localhost/c:/myDir/
I want to exclude indexing and searching of files under: file://localhost/c:/myDir/obsolete/
What is the exact format for the exclusion URL?
I have tried both file://localhost/c:/myDir/obsolete/ and /myDir/obsolete/
but neither of it seems to work; it still indexes everything under /myDir/
Should I just put: /obsolete/ as the exclusion URL?
Also after initial crawling, if I change the inclusion and or exclusion rules and then run the crawler again, it should update the indexes accordingly. Is that right?
The version of UltraSearch I am using is 1.0.3.
Thanks for any help on this.

Try "/c:/myDir/obsolete/"
Changing inclusion/exclusion rule does not affect files already crawled. It onyl
affects next crawling behavior.
To do any DML to existing data set, use SQL directly on wk$url table under the instance owner.

Integrating Flat File data to LDAP Directory using sunopsis driver

Hello
I need to import data from a csv file into a LDAP Directory.
In order to acheive this, i used Demo physical and logical File data server (called FILE_GENERIC) and set up a new LDAP data server using tutorial "Oracle Data Integrator Driver for LDAP - User's Manual".
I can manually see and update data on both file and LDAP datastores.
The fact is that i cannot manage to import/update data from the file to the LDAP directory through a dedicated interface.
The issue do, i think, come from the PK/FK used by sunopsis relational model to represent the directory.
LDAP DN is represented by a set of two table representing in my example the organizational units in one hand and the persons in the other hands, linking them through FK in persons to auto-generated PK in organization units. My person table also have a auto generated PK. All the directory datastore tables have been reversed through ODI.
In my interface, i always use my cn as update key.
I first tried not to map the person PK in the interface, letting the driver generating it for me (or mapping a null PK). I then catch in operator a message like: " null : java.sql.SQLException: Try to insert null into a non-nullable column".
Anyway, the first row is created in the directory and a new PK is given into ODI datastore. Curiously, this is not as i would presume the last PK value + 1.
There are some kinds of gaps in the ID sequences.
I even tried checking the "tolerated error" into the IKM step called "Insert new row". I'm using IKM shipped with ODI :"IKM SQL Incremental Update". The sequence is finished in operator but due, i guess, to the catched error, the other rows are not processed. (Anyway i shouldn't have to tolerate errors)
I tried after to put not used custom PK values into my file, then map the PK column to the LDAP datastore PK column without much success: Only one row is processed. Futhermore, the id of the PK in the datastore is different of the one I put in the file.
I finally tried to generate PK values through SQL instructions by creating new steps in the IKM modul but that did not worked much.
I really do not see any other ideas to either have the driver construct new PK at insert/update or to make him ignore the null PK problem and process all the rows.
If anyone do have an idea about it, please share...
Greetings,
Adrien

Hi,
I am facing an issue who is probably the same.
using ODI 10.1.3.5, I can't insert new rows into my openLDAP.
One of the point I see is that the execution take the LDAP server for staging area and want to create I$ table into it, so the data are already imported into the ldap Server.
thanks for any help.

Photoshop CC on Windows 7 is saving the file "date" as the created date not the modified date

I have been using a much older version of PS (CS2) and just decided to update to PS CC. I have installed the trial version of PS CC and will begin the CC subscription as soon as the trial expires.
I have noticed that PS CC saves the (main) date of the files as the "created date" not the "modified date" as it pertains to Windows Explorer and the Windows OS.
Here is what is happening: I have a file that I created in 2007 that I use for a template. It is sized to specific dimensions, etc. and when I do my save as, it automatically saves into the desired file folder, so that's why I use this as a template. I setup a new photo and then drag and drop it into my template, flatten the image and save as. When doing this with PS CS2, the date for the newly saved file was assigned as the modified date (current date and time). So, when I searched for the file in Windows Explorer or when I went to open the file, the date shown for the file was the modified date. NOW, with PS CC when I perform the exact same process and do a save as, the file date shown in Windows Explorer and/or when I go to open the file is showing as the created date (3/9/2007), the date that I created and saved the template I use. This is aggravating to me because now when I want to open a file and sort by date, the date shown in Windows Explorer is not accurate. As far as I can tell, this only happens in PS CC. When I open an old file with ID CC and do a save as, it applies the current date, not the created date. And, when I was using PS CS2, whenever I did a save as the current date was applied as well.
In summary, when performing a save as, the created date is being applied as the main date instead of the modified date. The question is: Is there a way to change this so that the modified date can be applied as the main date for the file when performing a save as?

Below are two files created the exact same way on the exact same computer: the top one was saved in PS CS2 and the bottom one was saved in PS CC. Both were saved using the "Save As" command. You will notice that when the "Save As" command was used in CS2 it updated the "Created:" date, however, in the CC version the "Created:" date was not updated, only the "Modified:" date was updated. Is there a way to update the "Created:" date when performing a "Save As" in PS CC?

Return file data

ok, I want to create a sub-routine in a spearate class that when I call it opens up a file and returns the file data result in a string.
so:
string = file.GetFile("filename.txt");
And that gives me the data contained in a file in one string varaible.
The annoying thing about it is I could do this in 20 seconds using Perl but for the life of me I can't figure out how to do it in java... being relativly new to the language. Web search have only turned up the same web pages and I'm getting desparte.

since it's a text file (.txt)..you can use this method
import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.FileReader;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;
public String fileToString(String filename) throws IOException{
    String newline = System.getProperty("line.separator");
    BufferedReader in = null;
    StringBuffer buffer = new StringBuffer();
    try{
        in = BufferedReader(new FileReader(new File(filename)));
        String line = null;
        while ((line = in.readLine()) != null)
            buffer.append(line).append(newline);
        return buffer.toString();
    catch (IOException e){ throw e; }
    finally{
        try{ if (in != null) in.close(); }
        catch(Exception e){ System.out.println("Cannot close inpput file: " + filename); }
// in your class..you call up this method like this
String strFile;   // the string that holds the content of the file.
try{
    strFile = fileToString(filename);
catch (IOException e){ e.printStackTrace(); }better yet, you can use Jakarta Common IO library.
They have a FileUtils class that have useful methods for you..such as copy file to another destination
File file = new File("filename.txt");
String fileContent = FileUtils.readFileToString(file, "UTF-8"); // you can specify the encoding

BPM was Picking two files but it was not processing 2nd file data in target

Hi all,
I have designed scenario for picking two files and i want to merge this files into single structure and send it target.when i am try to testing my bpm was picking two files but it is processing only file it went target system.i have steructe for source like
source1     target
root        header
a           item 0 to unbounded
b            a
c            b
             c
source2     item1 duplicated structure
a            a
b            b
c            c
i am getting two source files with the same structure but i have to map it one target structure and i want to map both source fileds to one target structre under item node so i was duplicated item node and mapped a b c fields from both(2 source structures).while testing BPM is picking two file bu in the target i am getting only first file data under item node,whatever i mapped with duplicate structure with second file i am not getting into target file(target is standard proxy structure so cant' create new one item node in that occurance is 0 to unbounded thats y i duplicated node while testing interface mapping its working fine).can anyone suggest solution for this problem.
Thanks,
Seshagiri.

Hi,
In BPM follow the below steps and hopefully your problem will be solved.
1.     Configure one sender CC to get the files from your application server, once the files hit the BPM now you need to
                     configure your BPM accordingly.
2.     Use the Receiver step in BPM to receive the messages. Use the correlation step to get the correct files.
3.     Use container and append the files, so both the files will be append, this means the message content will
                     have 1header, body, footer, 2header, body, footer.
4.     If you want to split the message to different receiver then use the fork step else leave it.
5.     Use the transformation step, the transformation step will call the message mapping. Provide the correct message
                     mapping.
6.     Now use the sender step to send the message to the receiver-target system. In this step use the split value for each
                      concept if you want to generate two different files.
7.     Configure 1 receiver CC to generate both the files.
Hope this helps.

Jay

Flat file data load - ODS - Look up data in Startroutine

Hi All,
There is a requirement that I have two ODS say 1) ABC and XYZ.
For Both ODS , We load flat file data.
First we load data to ABC for current fiscal period
During the data load to XYZ, We lookup part nos data in ABC for current fiscal period , if data there , for those part nos we load XYZ Flat file data.
My requirement is that , I need to fetch part nos data from ABC for Fiscal period < current fisacl period. Then I need to extract already loaded data for those part nos from XYZ and Mark the flag field as Non reportable .
How can we achieve this ?
Please advice
Thanks
Ajay

Hi ,
Thanks for your reply.
I have done so. When I add lines of My Internal table data to DATA_PACKAGE, It gives the syntax error that both structures are not unique. We have several fields in XYZ ods but they are not in Communication structure.
Thats the problem. Also , if I write the code , will it be executed for each datapackage. I mean , for each datapacket process , my code will fetch whole data from ABC and then from XYZ. Repetion will be there?
Any other logic can i use ?
Thanks
Ajay

File Date needs to be insterted into Table

We process/insert two CSV files from the file system into the DB that is executed from a CRON job(I think).
The CRON job calls SQLPLUS and calls the stored procedures to load the files. The SPs are using UTIL_FILE to open and read the file.
This works well but now I need to get the date the file was created and insert that as well.
Anyone know how I can get file date?

Hi,
Some simple method for fetching the creation date of your file from OS and insert it into oracle DB is :-
Method 1:
1. in your cron tab fist write a shell script ( is you know the name of your file ) like this
ls -l my_file.csv | cut -b52-63 > my_file.date
this will write the creation date of CSV file in to a text file.
2. Since you know the name of your file ( just file extention is changed ) You can read this file from you stored procedure thru UTL file package. Read the Date from that file an insert into your Db.
i.e. your unix shell script will contain a command that i have mentioned in step one, and the call of that procedure.
Method 2:
Another way is
create a shell script ( say a.sh ) like this
1) echo 'insert into x (x) values (' > a.sql
echo "'" >> a.sql
ls -l my_file.csv | cut -b52-63 >> a.sql
echo "'" >>a.sql
echo ');' >> a.sql
echo 'commit;' >>a.sql
sqlplus -s user/pwd@dbnm @a.sql
2) $ chmod 777 a.sh
3) $ sh a.sh
4) $ more a.sql
insert into x (x) values (
Jul 5 2002
commit;
--- this means just run step 1 and two, add entry in crontab for step 3.
this will work.
( i have written insert statement , like wise u can write your update statement )
Hope this will help you
