TED App and UNC Path
I created an App that gets distributed by TED. When it pushes the app to
the subscribers it changes the path from a UNC path using the server name
to a UNC path using the domain name. For example \\Server\data becomes
\\server.company.com\data
Is there a way to keep the UNC path using the server name only.

I've noticed a strange behaviour of FileExists(const char path[], ssize_t **fileSize) function with UNC paths (\\<hostname>\<sharename>[\<objectname>]*):
if <hostname> is an alias of a non-existent host, FileExists returns 0 (File not found) - for example FileExists("\\\\server-name\\folder-name\\file.txt", NULL)
if <hostname> is an unreachable IP address, FileExists return -93 (UIEIOError) - for example FileExists("\\\\192.168.1.1\\folder-name\\file.txt", NULL)
This happens also if you try with the path to the same file, written with the host IP address and its corresponding alias, when the host becomes unreachable.
Tested with CVI 2009 SP1
Is this an expected behaviour?

I've tried with either CVI 2009 Version 9.1.1 (450) and CVI 2009 Version 9.1.0 (428) and I always get 0 if the alias is bad or the IP is unreachable.

ret=FileExists ("\\\\it-mil-wds01\\AEs\\pippo.txt", NULL);
printf("Il valore e' %d",ret);

int ret=0;
ret=FileExists ("\\\\server\\AEs\\pippo.txt", NULL);
printf("Il valore e' %d",ret);

Can you give me your exact version of CVI?

Mapped Path being used instead of UNC Path
We have recently upgraded our Adobe products from CS3 to CC. In CS3, images that were added to InDesign had the UNC path in the "Links". With CC, we are finding that the Mapped Path is in the "Links". This different behaviour is causing some issues.
Here is the process that we are using to add images to an InDesign file:
1. Open Bridge
2. Browse to a folder (X:\ which is mapped to \\Server\Hi-Res\)
3. Drag and drop an image from Bridge to InDesign
In CS3, a path of "X:\MyFolder\MyImage.tif" would get converted to \\Server\Hi-Res\MyFolder\MyImage.tif
In CC, the path remains as "X:\MyFolder\MyImage.tif" which is causing us some issues.
Is there a way, in InDesign CC, to tell the application to use UNC paths when a Link is created - similar to what we were experiencing with CS3?
Thanks,
JodyHi Lee,
In CS3, UNC paths were used in File Path for images but this behavior was changed in CS4 (most probably) and UNC paths are no more supported.

ZFD App distribution, source path and fs rights...
I am encountering an issue, where it seems that the only place you can
specify the SOURCE_PATH variable for a ZFD app distribution is via the TED
policy...
Whenever I try and specify an application specific SOURCE_PATH (i.e. on the
golden app) I get the following error reported in the dist TED.LOG:
'the source path %SOURCE_PATH% is invalid. Make sure the "SOURCE_PATH"
variable value is defined in the Tiered Electronic Distribution policy, and
that the policy is associated with the Distributor objects parent container.'
I understand that you can reference subscriber specific variables to set
the destination folder and substructure within the distribution object, but
cannot seem to set an application specific SOURCE_PATH on either the app or
distribution object - it just wants to use the policy based value, which
can only be set once for the distributor...
Is it not possible to set an application/distribution specific value? And
if not, how does the transfer of Common->File System Rights work?
I'm sure I must be doing something wrong/approaching this the wrong way!
Please help if you can!
Many thanks
DavidThe actual issue is that the SOURCE_PATH macro IS NOT modified when
distributing MSI based apps, however this works fine for snapshot style
apps... For whatever reason the distributor treats MSI based apps and
trad. app objects differently. If you try and 'gather' an MSI based app
with the SOURCE_PATH variable used in the Package Source List, whcih HAS
been defined in the Common Macros, then it insists the variable in invalid...
As for the rights, the best way I've found is to give the rights to an
associated group and maintain the group through the distribution. i.e.
mirror structure and maintain associations. If you do this then rights ARE
assigned to the distributed group object
HTH

Full path and filename in wwv_flow_files after upload from UNC path in IE
I have a page with a file browse item. After page submit I move the file from wwv_flow_files to another table.
Normally the column wwv_flow_files.filename only contains the filename. However, when using IE9 and selecting a file from an UNC path the column contains the full path+filename.
Does anybody have an idea what happens here?
How can I make sure I only get the filename?

How can I make sure I only get the filename?For security/privacy reasons recent versions of browsers by default do not send local file path information from File Browse items to the server, nor expose the file path in the control's JavaScript methods. Firefox, Safari and Chrome only provide the filename. IE6 & IE7 still yield the path in Windows format. IE8+ and Opera have adopted an irritating approach of replacing the path with a wholly imaginary "C:\fakepath\"—and this monstrosity has sadly had to be enshrined in the HTML spec. A reasonably compatible way to strip the path in JS is provided there, or you should be able to do it fairly easily in PL/SQL when moving the file.
The fact you are getting the full path suggests that the IE security config setting "Include local directory path when uploading files" (or IE9 equivalent) is used in your browser/environment to enable the path to be exposed in IE. This may be necessary to support dismal legacy applications. Consult whoever is responsible for browser security configuration at your site to see why/if this setting is necessary. -
UNC paths and java.io.file in Oracle
Hi,
I'm just getting to grips with using some basic java in the database. I'm using 8.1.7 on W2K.
I'm trying to test for the existance of a file on a separate w2k domain:
import java.io.File;
public class JFileExists {
public static int fileexists (String fileName) {
File myFile = new File (fileName);
boolean retval = myFile.exists();
if (retval) return 1; else return 0;
public static void main (String args[]) {
System.out.println (
fileexists (args[0])
grant javasyspriv to mp;
function jfn_file_exists (file_in IN VARCHAR2) RETURN number
AS LANGUAGE JAVA NAME 'JFileExists.fileexists (java.lang.String) return int';
From the command prompt all is well:
E:\java>"c:\oracle\ora81\Apache\jdk\bin\java.exe" JFileExists i:\test.txt
1
E:\java>"c:\oracle\ora81\Apache\jdk\bin\java.exe" JFileExists \\mpweb1\image\test.txt
1
But when loaded into oracle its returning false with the UNC path. (but is ok with a mapped drive to the same path)
SQL> declare
2 begin
3 pa_main.pr_print(to_char(pa_main.jfn_file_exists('I:\test.txt')));
4 pa_main.pr_print(to_char(pa_main.jfn_file_exists('\\mpweb1\image\test.txt')));
5 end;

PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
The oracleservicesid and listener are starting under a user called oracle_user which is a member
of the admins and domain admins group.
mpweb1 is on a separate domain to the database server mpdb1 but it also has a user called oracle_user with the same password.
oracle_user has full access to the share in question.
Am I missing something? I was trying to keep the database server and web server on different domains for better security
- but would things be easier if they were on the same domain?
Any help much appreciated for this java newbi!
Thanks,
Simon.
nullI am also having problems with UNC paths. But I cannot access the location even if it is mapped as a drive. In JDK VJM I do not have a problem, but in Oracle it says the file cannot be found and say permission denied. I will try to change the user that starts the database and see if that helps.

Word 2013 shows full UNC path instead of local "Documents" folder on file Open and Save
Normally Word (and Excel) by default will show the user's local "Documents" folder when opening or saving a file. That is what we want. However, after using Windows Server Folder Redirection to redirect the Documents folder to the network (Windows
Server 2012R2), Word now shows the full UNC path to the network share.
Instead of seeing:
"MyPC Documents"
users see
\\sever1\redirect$\username\documents
Folder redirection is supposed to be transparent to the user. Virtually all our other applications, including Office 2003, respect this convention and continue to show "Documents". As you can see, Word even exposes a hidden share.
Even if we go to File / Options / Save and browse to the local Documents folder as the place Word should open and save files from, Word immediately removes the path you have browsed to, and replaces it with the UNC path.
Is there a way to suppress this behavior? Thanx!
DanaHi,
Based on my understanding, you only want others to see some part of path name, rather than full UNC path name. It is right?
It seems that we can’t implement your requirement. When we open a file from “My Pictures”, it shows “My picture” instead of showing the full path “C:\Users\User\Pictures”. “My Picture” is set as a library in Windows, so it hides
full path by design. We can't set \\sever1\redirect$\username\documents as a library.
As a workaround, you can upload these files to OneDrive and share link to others.
If I have anything misunderstood, don't hesitate to tell me.

Sophos found this on my mac mini (early 2009) - OSX/FkCodec-A and could not clean it up. I am running Yosemite 10.10 and the path and filename for this Trojan is /Volumes/macvexe/macvexe.app/Contents/MacOS/mac.installer. Could someone please tell me how to get rid of it as Sophos is unable to remove and Trash can remove it.
outdoor,
How did you originally install iWork on the Mac Pro? was it preinstalled? The machine seems old enough that you should have an original install DVD that came with the mac pro.
Amazon has the install DVDs for iWork '09:
http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=i Work+%2709
To move tables between sheets you can select the table, copy, then paste after activating (by clicking) the destination sheet. If you really mean move, then use the cut command (rather than copy).
To copy... use the menu item "Edit > Copy"
To cut... use the menu item "Edit > Cut"
Then paste in the destination -

Network UNC paths and SWF files not running.
Flash Player wont run SWF files from a network unc path. A map drive works. How can I resolve this?
Our user profiles in window 7 are roaming and the my documents redirects using a unc path to the my documents area. When the swf file is run, you just get a white background in the player. The standalone player is version 8 . We also deploy the latest flash player plugin for ie9 browser (currently 11.3).
I have tried adding the unc path \\servername\pathname to a .cfg file in C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\FlashPlayerTrust as described in the flash player administrator guide. This did not work.
I have also tried to update the global security settings panel with the unc paths required and copying the settings.sol file to users profiles but this has not made any difference.
Can anyone help?
Many Thanks
MarkThanks for replying Jeromie.
After a bit of digging, I discovered that the problem was with the profile path for users. I am not sure why, but when the profile path contains the fully qualified domain name in it , flash player fails i.e \\server.domain.co.uk\sharename\flash.swf. when the path was changed to \\servername\sharename\file.swf , it worked.
I changed all the users profile paths and removed their appdata to and now all users can play flash files with the new profile path.

hello,
i installed share point 2013 on 2008 r2 server (no domain) i want to make user permision so they can open list passed thier permission so can i do it with out dc ?
also i want to enable unc patch so the client can brows the files from windows explorer as share folder.
thanks.The problem is that the local account is "local" and won't be the same account as the one used by the user on their workstation. If the server is a member of the domain then the domain account is shared between the SharePoint server and the workstation
because both validate the account credentials with the same Domain Controller.
If you are authenticated to the SharePoint server then you should be able to map a UNC path to a document library. This does however require some add-ons that are normally installed by Office. I've seen lots of issues with people having a 64
bit of office installed and not having the addons needed to open a UNC path.

Acrobat 9 Pro will not open for certain users - Not UNC path error
Hello, I have recently installed Acrobat 9 Pro and It runs fine in an alternate account on my machine. When I go to run it on the primary account, It immediately throws an error. I have checked the registry and the account in question does not have its app data on a UNC path. Thank you in advance for your assistance.
NickThis is a user forum, but with Adobe you might find better help here than in other places anyway. Many of the users here have been through most of the problems and if you hit one that has been there you will likely get a good answer. Some of the folks are good at making suggestions to try (as they would try) and others will try to replicate the problem if you give enough info. Many of us are a bit crazy for spending so much time here, but we learn along with helping, an aspect we enjoy - takes the edge off the day! (OK, maybe I am speaking for myself.)
If you run into some other specifics that may help others provide you ideas to try, do come back. If you find a solution to your problem, please report it also. Bill -

PcdStartUp.properties - Setting PCD Import Folder to UNC path
Hi All,
Has anyone managed to successfully configure the pcdStartUp.properties so that the PCD import parameter Pcd.TransportApplication.ImportRootDir points to either a share or UNC path on another server?
I want to configure Pcd.TransportApplication.ImportRootDir to point to our development server's export folder
\\devport\f$\usr\sap\PD1\SYS\global\pcd\Export
but I can't get it to work.
I've tried every variation I can think of but none works.
The value I am currently setting is:
Pcd.TransportApplication.ImportRootDir = \\\\devport\\f$\\usr\\sap\\PD1\\SYS\\global\\pcd\\Export
The error I get is:
Root directory for import not found:
\\devport\f$\usr\sap\PD1\SYS\global\pcd\Export.
Check the transport application configuration.
I've also tried using a drive mapping rather than UNC but can't get that to work.
Cheers,
Steve
Edited by: Steve Archer on Apr 23, 2009 3:44 PMThis happens with the AS Java world! It looks like the Java runtime process owners (<sid>adm and SAPService<sid>) can only read local disks. I have been caught with the before and gave up trying to work it out. The issue also comes up with any Java apps that try to access non-local drives.

Oracle SQL Developer - File, Open , File Name Not Accept UNC Path Form
In Oracle SQL Developer, at least the File, Open (Dialog's), the File Name (if not all File / Directory Name) Text Box(es) is (are) not accepting, at least for me, the UNC Path Form of Folders on Network Servers. The same UNC Path (or UNC Paths in general) works in the File / Directory Name Text Box of every other Windows App I've tried (from Windows 95 to Windows 7). Is there a way to do this? If not, was it intentional and where can I suggest this as a fix / enhancement?
I'm using Windows XP w/ SP3.DUH! I figured out what happened. In my first search, I searched (using "Actions", "Filter", "Column" option) for "Title Contains 'UNC'" which didn't find anything because the single-quotes were considered literals (which isn't consistent with the "Row" option or with the technical SQL syntax one would expect given technical operators like "!=", pffft, "!="??? Really???). Then, all subsequent searches returned nothing, because all previous searches are combined with implied "And" Operators until you select "Actions", "Reset" (which isn't consistent with any Web / Desktop App search feature I've ever seen). Don't get me wrong. The latter is a great feature. It just needs to be documented better.
It probably wouldn't hurt to: a) include easily visible tips on whether single / double quotes are needed and b) show an "And" Operator in front of each previous search listed so people won't mistake it for simply a Search Criteria History vs. Current Search Criteria, oh and add a heading that labels it as, oh, IDK, "Current Search Criteria", maybe? IDK, call me crazy (or just another stupid user posing as a developer with 16 years experience ;).
