Setups for Directory where data files sit, in Inbound Transaction.

Hi,
My customer is implementing Inbound Po transaction using e-commerce gateway for Order Import in R12.
Could you let me know what setups i need to ask DBA's for creating inbound directory.
I just found one required setup online.
1) DBA's must define the UTL_FILE_DIR parameter in the INIT.ORA file.
Thanks.

I can see why no consensus was reached.  I've now looked at that link, where some recommend a place in /usr, but the FSH info that I found says:
/usr is the second major section of the filesystem. /usr is shareable, read-only data
So that doesn't seem right.
Others recommend /var, but the FSH info says:
/var contains variable data files. This includes spool directories and files, administrative and logging data, and transient and temporary files.
Nope, not there either.
Final suggestion there is /home.  The files don't need to belong to a particular user, as set forth previously, and the FHS helps with
/home is a fairly standard concept, but it is clearly a site-specific filesystem. The setup will differ from host to host. Therefore, no program should rely on this location.
For an OS that serves gazillions of files to as many users, it just strikes me as odd that there isn't a standard here.  That being said, individuality is often a good thing.
Thank you for your suggestions, both of which make a lot of sense.  I am leaning toward /home/share.

  • Best setup for a non-Mac file server?

    I have a dual xeon server, with a SATA RAID5 I want to use as a file server in a cross-platform environment.
    *What I've tried and the issues...*
    At first I considered using Windows 2003 (Win2k3) but Services for Macintosh (SFM) is an older version of AFP and thus only supports 31 character filenames. With all our Macs supporting SMB/Samba/CIFS and Apple touting that "Macs and PCs can co-exist harmoniously on the same network" I figured I would give that a try.
    SMB doesn't work.
    Sure I can create a connection, but transferring files is a completely different story. I'm trying to backup application and system data, but companies such as Adobe and Apple have named some of their files with special characters that can't be transferred over SMB. I know NTFS doesn't support these characters, but I though a Linux box using SMB would work fine. It doesn't. It's the protocol which keeps me from transferring the data. I end up with the lovely error message of "You cannot copy some of these items to the destination because their names are too long or contain invalid characters for the destination..." (what's sad is, if you google for " because their names are too long or contain invalid characters for the destination" you only get 6 results.)
    So I thought I would give NFS a try. Apple says "Viewed from Mac OS X, [connecting via NFS] is just like connecting to an Apple or Windows server." No. It's not. NFS shares don't even show up in the Finder's Network listing. There are also a pile of other hurdles which are only tackled by savvy, command-line using users.
    So that leaves me with AFP. Win2k3 doesn't support filenames longer than 31 characters, and Win2k8 is dropping SFM altogether. Off to choose a *nix flavor, but that requires Netatalk. It hasn't been updated in years, it has many bad performance reviews... and most distros have removed it. I can download and install it. Oh, but that requires I get the kernel source files. Then I have to create an RPM an that's not working... now I'm several levels deep in trying to figure out how to get Netatalk working and I'm not even sure it will work.
    *What's the best setup for a non-Mac file server?*
    FreeNAS seems promising, but it's in alpha/beta and they have all sorts of warnings regarding potential data loss. Sure there's ExtremeZ-IP, but I really don't want to spend $675 do something Apple claims OS X can already do. I can put just about any non-Mac OS on this thing... what's the best way to set it up so it works?
    Thanks much.

    Rick may be right because although i didnt think of it before i tend to have notoriuosly long classnames for my php classes and i have used samba on occasion (when rsync is out of the question for one reason or another) and never had a problem. I use kubuntu (feisty at the moment )with an ext3 filesystem. if i have a chance this evening ill give it a try and see what happens.
    You could also possibly use FUSE to use an ssh filesystem for the shares... i don tknow how that would figure in your back up though.
    Also if worse comes to worse you could tar or dmg the the necessary files... just some thoughts.
    Ill be interested to know what you end up implementing....
    OH one last thought... Compile Darwin from source and use that as your server

    Did you reinstall CS3 after CC?
    For that matter, doing an in-place upgrade on the OS is always a gamble with Adobe programs. Reinstalling all the versions you need, in order, would probably solve your problem.
    And you shouldn't need to save as IDML after opening the .inx in CC.

  • Get the directory where application files exist.....

    Hi ,
    How to get the directory where application files exist....????
    I have found a way....such as:
    Right - click on the application name ... on the pop-up menu... select "Add to <application_name>" and then on the window appeared... i get the dir on the title of this window....
    Is there any simpler method to obtain the dir...????
    NOTE: I use JDev 10.1.3. on windows XP platform...
    Many thanks ,

    hi Simon
    If you not only want to see the path, but also want to copy-and-paste it, you can use the "Edit > Copy Path" (Ctrl+Shift-C) menu item.

  • Common Practice For Storing Application Data Files

    During my application development targeting for XP and Linux time, I will store my application data files (Files where user may create, modify, rename, delete...) same path as my application directory. For instance, if my application is installed in :-
    C:\Program Files\MyApp\MyApp.jar
    All my application data files will be located in
    C:\Program Files\MyApp\Config\ directory.
    This works quite well until Vista introduce UAC. Vista will not allow write opration to C:\Program Files\MyApp\Config\ folder (Config folder is being created during installer execution). However, to support legacy application, Vista use a workaround (Virtualization) for application to write. For example, MyApp.jar want to perform write on
    Real path :-
    C:\Program Files\MyApp\Config
    Vista will redirect it to :-
    Virtual path
    C:\Users\<account>\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\MyApp\Config
    Please refer to the links for more detail
    [http://www.codeproject.com/KB/security/acl_common_data.aspx?display=Print]
    [http://www.codeproject.com/KB/vista-security/MakingAppsUACAware.aspx]
    However, this introduce several additional problems [http://support.microsoft.com/kb/927387]
    May I know what is the common practice for storing an application data files? The below are my several thoughts
    (1) Writing to
    * Windows XP - %systemdrive%\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data
    * Windows Vista - %systemdrive%\ProgramData
    * Windows 2000 - %systemdrive%\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data
    * Windows Server 2003 - %systemdrive%\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data
    * Windows 98 - %systemdrive%\Windows\All Users\ Application Data
    which we may retrieve through "CommonApplicationData", using the API function SHGetFolderPath. However, how can we do that in Java? How to make compatible with Linux?
    (2) Writing to user home directory through "user.home" properties. Create a folder .MyApp and write the application data on it.
    Any input and suggestion are welcomed.
    Thanks!

  • Getting file from directory where class files are

    hi i want to load a properties file from the directory where my java program is (the class/jar files)
    somebody told me that i could use System.getProperty("user.dir"); but it would only work under windows; under linux it points elsewhere.
    how can i determine the directory where my program lies? sounds easy but i failed :(

    why to hell put it in the classpath? Because that way you don't have to ask the user where the hell he put the file.
    and if i would do so the next question: how can my
    program modify the classpath?It can't. And it doesn't need to.
    isn't there another way to determine the directory
    where the app is started from???If you mean the current, or working, directory, then yes there are several ways to determine that. But that directory need not be where the classes are actually stored. In fact the current directory doesn't even have to be in the classpath.
    Now, here's the best way to deal with properties files. (IMHO of course.) Put them in the classpath, in the same directory or jar file as your classes. Then to create a Properties object and load it from your properties file named e.g. "default.properties" you do this:Properties props = new Properties();
    props.load(this.getClass().getResourceAsStream("/default.properties"));

  • Will reinstalling from setup disk delete my data files?

    I can't do a thing with my MacBook. The cursor drags phantom selections, the track pad won't work properly and it takes ages for typed words to display. I have lost my applications in Finder and the disk utility is telling me there is a bad file. I've deleted the cache and done the PRAM thing to no avail. It is fully charged. If I reinstall the original disk, will I lose my data files and pictures, etc.?
    Elaine

    Hi, Elaine.
    Go to Disk Utility (Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility) and check on the S.M.A.R.T. status of your hard disk. Also, while there, select the named boot volume in the left sidebar, ("Macintosh HD" unless you've renamed it). What is the hard drive capacity? Please let us know how much space remains available on it. Repair permissions on it.
    There is a way to reinstall without losing your files, but it may not help if your drive is failing, so we need to determine its condition before proceeding.

  • Example VI for reading Touchstone data files

    Can someone please suggest an example VI for reading a touchstone data file (A__S_params.s2p) for me as a starting point. I want to get the magnitude and phase data of S21 to design a filter. I have tried to use Touchstone Data Plugin with the (DataPlugins - ATML) project from the LabVIEW example finder to first convert Touchstone file to TDMS format but have not been successful. Thanks.

    Actually I've seen different flavors depending on the originator of the file. The Touchstone File Specification data line formatting rule just says that individual entries are separated by whitespace. HP-ADS separates the values with multiple space characters, the N5230A and C uses a single space character, the E5071C uses a single tab character. I usually replace multiple spaces or tabs with a single tab before processing the data.

    That's the truth.  I don't know why I said "tab" because I've seen different formats, too.  The point I wanted to make was that ultimeately it's just a parsable text file.

    If you can find the downloads window (Keyboard shortcut Ctlr+Shift+Y in Linux) right clicking on the file entry should give an option to open the folder it is in.
    If the option is greyed out it was probably only put in a temporary location and may have been deleted. You could try searching by name and date & size.

  • Easy Setup For Panasonic AG-HMC150 Files?

    I just got my new Panasonic AG-HMC150, and shot some sample footage at 720p/60. I had no problems getting the clips into FCP using Log & Transfer, and they look fine when playing them in the viewer, or from the timeline.
    I have a Matrox MXO, and the clips also play great on my 2nd Cinema Display that runs off of the Matrox; and, I have a small Sony 4:3 CRT monitor, that shows the clips properly letterboxed, and they play fine on that too. I've even exported the clips to Compressor, and burned a DVD in DVDSP, which looks great. Audio is fine, in sync, etc.
    The only problem is in the FCP canvas window; the lips will flicker a little or a lot, depending on the View Menu's video playback setting; using MXO DVCPRO 1280x720/59.94 causes a lot of flicker, while choosing MXO Uncompressed 1280x720/59.94 causes a little .
    I'm not sure if my Easy Setup is correct; I've chosen the MXO Apple Pro Res 720p/59.94 sequence setting, but I'm not sure what to do for Capture or Device Control settings; I wouldn't think that they would matter.
    I think the problem is with the Video Playback setting; I've chosen several of the MXO settings, and they all play fine on my Matrox monitor, but I can't find one that will smooth out playback in the canvas. Or, since everything else seems to work fine, should I even be worrying about this?
    I'm making the switch from capturing tapes, and I actually expected a lot more trouble than I'm having; but solving this tiny glitch would be great. I'm looking forward to getting familiar with this camera and using it for some upcoming events.
    Any suggestions on the proper Easy Setup settings for files from this camera, and in particular, a good View/Video Playback setting? Thanks in advance.

    Click on one of the ingest camera files in the FCP Browser. Once it is selected, type Command + 9 to see the properties for the clip. Either report those properties here or take a screen shot of the item properties and post that here.
    Next, click anywhere in your timeline, then type Command + 0 {zero} to see your Sequence Settings. Either report those settings here or take a screen shot of your Sequence Settings and post that screen shot here.

  • Getting metadata for FMs where data structure elements also have structure

    Hi,
    I'm sorry if this is a double post, but I added this initially to a thread that was already set to answered, and I'm not sure of the protocol - if there will be any further responses if that is the case, so I'm opening this new threas as well.
    I've been using RFC_GET_FUNCTION_INTERFACE and RFC_GET_STRUCTURE_DEFINITION successfully for a number of years, but now I have a problem. Some FMs, like /POSDW/CREATE_TRANSACTIONS_EXT, have parameters that have structures, whose elements also have structure. But RFC_GET_STRUCTURE_DEFINITION does not give a handle to get the structure of a returned data element.
    Does anybody know how I can work around this?

    I think you can use the code similar to the one below...
    some of the things not covered in this are
    1. all types for which   CALL FUNCTION 'RFC_GET_NAMETAB' is not returning result, you can call CALL FUNCTION 'RFC_GET_STRUCTURE_DEFINITION' directly. I have not covered that in this code. Hope this is helps in resolving your issue.

  • MySQL data files: where do they live

    I am building an online system using mySQL. I have two (I hope) simple questions.
    1. Where do the data files live eg. What do I have to backup to be sure my data is safe?
    2. I built the system on a Mac OS 10.3 machine (not 10.3 server). How do I transfer the mySQL database structures to the (now included) version of mySQL running in Mac OS 10.4 server?
    Any advice will be much appreciated.

    On OS X Server, the standard location for the MySQL data files is: /var/mysql. Any databases you create will wind up in there. If you install a fresh copy of MySQL onto OS X from a MySQL package, they go into /usr/local/mysql/data.
    You have a couple of options for the transfer. 1) Using MySQL, use mysqldump to create SQL files of your database tables, both structure and data. 2) Using something like phpMyAdmin, you can export the tables into a structure that can then be imported on your 10.4 server. 3) Copy the relevant database directories from your /var/mysql directory on OS X 10.3 into the /var/mysql directory on your 10.4 Server. Either stop MySQL on 10.3 first or lock the tables before you do a copy. Then, after plopping them into the 10.4 directory, restart MySQL on 10.4 and you should be good to go.
    If you are interested in knowing how to use the tools like mysqldump or how to import from a text file, MySQL's site has a section of documentation on these: mysqldump / mysqlimport
