Server directory doesn't stick in sidebar

Tiger allowed me to maintain a specific server directory in the sidebar — even after restarting the Mac it would be there. Now, with Leopard, if I want that server directory to show, I have to put it there EVERY time I start the Mac. Having only the top level of a server appear under “SHARED” it not useful. Nobody in our office uses the top level of the server — everyone uses something 5 or 6 levels deep. Isn’t there a way to make that directory ALWAYS appear like it did with Tiger? Apple support said there is a way to do, but could not officially explain how because it is not supported. They suggested posting the question to this forum. Anyone have a procedure for making a server directory stick in the sidebar? Thanks for any help.

I just did some experimenting and I've come to these conclusions.
Shared Volumes (or the top level shares on a computer) will go into devices, and you have to set them as login items also to get them to mount at startup. Making an alias to them will also work if you don't want to have them connect at login.
Folders within shares will only go into Places. You don't have to make an alias of the folder, though.
I think it has to do with the Mount Point. As the Volumes are Devices in the unix world, they can only show up if mounted. However, the folders are just aliases to network locations so they stay put.
So, if you have multiple volumes that you don't want to automount at login, mount them, put them in the Devices section, and make aliases to them in a folder that you place in the Dock. Then, you can mount them from the dock and they should then appear in the sidebar.
Place any folders in the Places section, or do the same as you do with the Volumes.

Renamed parent directory doesn't stick

I have a parent directory located on a remote volume on my server. Lightroom chose to name my directory,
2006 at /Volumes/Photos/JimsPhotos/15D RAW
This is because there's also another directory on the server named,
2006 at /Volumes/Photos/JimsPhotos/1D60 RAW
But I'd rather see the names as, 2006 5D RAW and 2006 D60 RAW. However, when I change the directory names, they stick until I exit and relaunch LR when they get changed back to their originals -- and of course the name is so long I can't read it in the Library.
Bug or ??

'Source Directory doesn't exist' error in sender file adapter

Hi All,
I m getting the error 'Source Directory doesn't exist' in sender file adapter.
The source file directory doesn't exist in XI Server. Its in a different system.
gone through other sdn t hreads.
the options seems to be
1. either to mount the Source Directory on the XI Server.
2. Install a FTP server and use FTP protocol.
My doubt is that, could nt we give necessary access rights to the XIAFUSER whihc will access the Source Directory?
Wont it be sufficient?

Hi Aarthi,
If you are using system other than XI, then you have to use FTP server
else check you have proper authorization of read/write to the source directory...
and check the name of it as well, as it is case sensetive and you have provided the proper details of server.
check these blog as well...

Reg : txt Files in Server directory (UTL_FILE)

Hi Experts,
Suppose, I've placed 5 +.txt+ files (procedure/table creation scripts) in a db server directory.
Is there any way I can loop through each of the files?
I need to pull the content of each file into oracle table using a procedure. So, I'm trying dynamically trying to use External Tables with Execute Immediate inside my proc. Will package UTL_FILE help in this?
Please give some suggestions.
Let me know if you have any concerns.
Ranit B.

As an alternative solution, have you considered using external LOB's? Using this approach could save significant overhead vs. the external tables solution because it doesn't require any schema objects for accessing the txt files (if you use an SQL script instead of a stored procedure).
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B14117_01/appdev.101/b10796/adlob_bf.htm#1010878
Below is an excerpt from the link the Oracle docs above; this could be used as a starting point. (Substitute your directory name/file name for the BFILENAME arguments.)
/* This file is installed in the following path when you install */
/* the database: $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/demo/lobs/plsql/fdisplay.sql */
/* Displaying BFILE data. */
/* Procedure displayBFILE_proc is not part of DBMS_LOB package: */
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE displayBFILE_proc IS

How to check if the file already exists in the application server directory

Hi all. I'm on devsuite 10g.
I transfer file from local machine to application server using webutil function webutil_file_transfer.client_to_as and I want to check if the file I'm transfering already exists on the server directory.
How can I make this?
Thanks all,
Fabrizio

use the text_io package and open the file in read-mode.
like this
declare
xFileType text_io.file_type;
begin
xFileType := text_io.fopen('c:\temp\test.txt','R'); --file on the middle tier
-- file exists;
text_io.fclose(xFileType);
exception
when others then
--file doesn't exist
end;

Application Server Directory file attributes lists

Hi,
I'm searching for Funtion Module or Method to get Application Server Directory file lists with all attributes.
1) FM 'SUBST_GET_FILE_LIST' is not getting midifued date and time.
2) Method CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES-DIRECTORY_LIST_FILES is getting local directory files.
I'm looking for standard way to get all attributes whatever we are seeing in AL11 transaction like Name, Length, Creator and last changed date and time stamp-
...Nandha

Hi
The fm SUBST_GET_FILE_LIST is right but you need to convert the date and time by your self, u can use this routine:
PERFORM P6_TO_DATE_TIME_TZ(RSTR0400) USING FILE_LIST-MTIME
FILE_LIST-MOD_TIME
FILE_LIST-MOD_DATE.

Download all files from a specific application server directory to Local pc

Hi Experts,
I have a requirement of downloading all the files from an application server directory to a local pc.
I know how to download a single file from an application server at a time provided the file name is known.
But my requirement is to download all the files in that particulary directory, because I dont know how many files were created in that directory and what are their names.
Please kindly provide the solution.
Thanks,
Kalikonda.

Nelson,
Here is the function module that I have used to get all the application server files.
appl_dir_name is the path of the directory i.e. '/outbound/PD1/Applnserverfiles/'

CD drive problems "Directory doesn't exist"

Seems like everybody has some variant of this problem. I'm having difficulty getting the CD drive to read the disks I put in. I'm using PCman as my file manager and when I try to access the CD drive I get a pair of error messages that simply say "..." This is followed by a third error saying "Directory doesn't exist." My HAL is configured for hotplugging if that matters.
I've been wrestling with this for a couple days and tried several solutions from both the wiki and the forum. Any help with fixing, or just suggestions on how to better diagnose the problem would be much appreciated.

I had this problem using hal, Slim, openbox and pcmanfm. Solved it using this post
http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=65070
which I found in the Wiki/Table of Contents/Hardware Detection & Troubleshooting/Hal/Permission Denied page.
I only had to follow the two steps in the PS, after which I could access cd's as normal user.
Hope this helps.

Build error 'CFURLGetFSRef failed - maybe the output directory doesn't exist?' Eclipse

I downloaded and installed the Adobe InDesign Plug-in Editor as an Eclipse distribution, the InDesign SDK and XCode on my iBook G4 with Mac OS X 10.4.10. Creating an InDesign project works fine. I only have to drag-and-drop elements on a form and add some actions.
Unfortunately, I can't get the Ant Build working. I followed the video-tutorials on the Adobe labs site, but I'm still getting this error:
CFURLGetFSRef failed - maybe the output directory doesn't exist?
The error seems to be in the "/Adobe InDesign CS3 Products SDK/devtools/bin/odfrc-cmd" file. I guess it's a SDK problem.
Does anyone know what the reason is for this error? And maybe how I can fix it?

This is the full output.

Directory doesn't really exist - linked to another

I have discovered a weird issue with my Lightroom catalog that, unfortunately, may have resulted in me inadvertently deleting some images. Some folders in the Folders pane are somehow "linked" for the lack of a better term. For example, I have the following two folders:
2006_04_29
2006-04-29
I'm trying to clean up my catalog so I've been moving/renaming (through Lightroom) to fix the issue. The weird thing is if I open an image in 2006_04_29 and look at the system file info, it shows it actually lives in 2006-04-29. Unfortunately, this is after I deleted a dozen or so folders.
I'm not sure if this may have happened back in the Lightroom 2/3 days before I knew not to move things outside of Lightroom, but I'm surprised the catalog optimization or synchronization both didn't fix it.
Any thoughts or suggestions?
Thanks,
Kevin

Reg. PDF file stored in oracle server directory

Dear All ,
How to stored PDF generated file in oracle server directory.
Thanks & Regards
shailesh

You need a directory object in Oracle for that server directory. That directory needs to be accessible (permission/ACL wise) to the local database processes to read/write from/
The schema that will be doing the read/write using that directory object, needs read/write privs on it.
UTL_FILE is used by PL/SQL code to write database contents to file.

How to know the first placed file in Application server directory

Hi All ,
i want to Know the First plased file in a application server directory . i have tried with
FM EPS_GET_FILE_ATTRIBUTES but it is giving the file size. Can anybody give some idea to get the file lastmodify property.
Thanks & Regards
Prithvi.

Hi Prithvi!
Use the methods of class CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES (if your release is at least 620, sorry otherwise).
Method DIRECTORY_LIST_FILES will give you all files of a directory, then you can check with method FILE_GET_ATTRIBUTES for some date info.
But maybe you can agree about a timestamp in the filename - this has to be set by the sender, but is much easier and reliable, too.

Christian
