  • Java Program to copy file from one directory to another failing

    Hello All,
    Oracle Applications 12.1.3
    RDBMS: 11.2.0.30
    SQL*Plus: 10.1.0.5.0
    Java beginner here so help is much appreciated.  I'm have some java code that I'm using to copy a file from one directory to another in an Oracle Applications Server.  I notice that when moving to a new instnace I started to get file not found errors.  I think it's because of the directory.  My question is, does the directory in which I trying to pick up the file have to be a DBA_DIRECTORY, or a UTL_FILE directory in order for the java to find the file and move it?
    Here is my code...
    CREATE OR REPLACE AND COMPILE JAVA SOURCE NAMED "COPY_FILE_JVS" AS
    import java.io.*;
    public class COPY_FILE_JVC{
      public static void copy(String SourceFile, String DestDir) {
        File source = new File(SourceFile);
        File dest = new File(DestDir);
        File cpDestFile = null;
        try {
          if (dest.isDirectory()) {
              if(source.isFile()) {
                System.out.println("File name = " + source.getName());
                System.out.println("File name dest = " + dest.getPath() );
                System.out.println("File name cpDestFile = " + dest.getPath() + File.separator + source.getName());
                cpDestFile = new File(dest.getPath() + File.separator + source.getName());
              else {
                System.out.println("Directory or File Not Found");
                return;
          BufferedInputStream  br = new BufferedInputStream (new FileInputStream (source));
          BufferedOutputStream  bw = new BufferedOutputStream (new FileOutputStream (cpDestFile));
          int read = 0;
          while((read = br.read()) != -1) {
            //System.out.println((char)read);
            bw.write(read);
          br.close();
          bw.close();
        catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
        catch (IOException e) {

    I get these messages when calling the java from SQL Plus as follows...

    dbms_java.set_output(1000000);

    Directory or File Not Found
    PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
    If I change the directory from /home/my_user/ to any directory that is defined in DBA_DIRECTORIES or is a UTL_FILE directory to program works.  Is it perhaps because the java is in a PL/SQL package as seen below?  The PL/SQL program runs as the APPS user and I have issued the following the command grant JAVASYSPRIV to APPS.

  • Can you copy/paste files from the Finder to Mail in Lion, or drag them onto the Mail icon in the Dock to create a new message and attach the files to it?

    Message title says it: Can you copy/paste files from the Finder to Mail in Lion, or drag them onto the Mail icon in the Dock to create a new message and attach the files to it?
    I can't find anything in the Knowledge Base that says these two options no longer work or still do.
    I do not have a system capable of running Lion, but I need to know the answer nonetheless.

    Gee, I don't know: "paste attachments mail Lion"? ;-)
    One further question, if I may: in Panther (which is where I've aggregated nearly 7 years of mail), if you copy more than one file in the Finder, switch to Mail, and paste the files into a new message, only the file names paste in. If you copy one file and paste it into a Mail message, you get the file, not just the name. Is that still true, or has that (IMHO) bug been fixed since 10.3.9?

  • How to copy a file from one folder to another folder in Linux

    Hello everyone,
    Oracle forms 11g 11.1.2.0.0
    OS: Oracle Linux
    We use webutil to upload files to the application server from the client machine, and stores them in a folder named JOB_DOCS on the application server (This folder is created as a databse directory too). File types are JPEG, GIF, PDF, TXT, BMP, DOC, XLS etc...
    At a later stage when the user tries to view the uploaded documents, this was not getting displayed on the screen
    on our windows server, when the user clicks on the print button we copy the file from the JOB_DOCS folder to the forms\java folder using the below command
    HOST('COPY ' ||d:\JOB_DOCS\test.pdf||' '||'c:\oracle\middleware\as\forms\java\test.pdf ,NO_SCREEN);
    once the file is under the forms\java folder then it is getting displayed on the screen to print or save, and later we remove the file from forms\java folder.
    But my problem here is, recently we have installed our application on Oracle Linux server, and we have JOB_DOCS folder there, and the users can upload files to this folder also. How can we copy the file test.pdf from JOB_DOCS to forms/java in linux?
    And what could be the reson for the document cannot be accessed from the folder where it is saved? We tried giving folder permissions, adding the folder to PATH variable etc.

    For copying and moving directories you can use the cp and mv commands just like you use them with files. Yeah, I know. If you've already tried to copy a directory with cp, you've probably noticed that cp just complains at you. Probably it says something like cp: omitting directory yadda yadda. You see, the cp command wants you to use the -r option if you want to copy a directory with its contents. The -r means "copy recursively":
    $ cp -r dir1 dir2
    The above creates a directory named dir2 whose contents will be identical to dir1. However, if dir2 already exists, nothing will be overwritten: the directory dir1 will be copied into the dir2 directory under the name dir2/dir1.
    When renaming directories, you use the mv command exactly the same way as with files:
    $ mv dir1 dir2
    When dealing with directories, mv works a bit like cp does. If dir2 doesn't exist, the above will rename dir1 to dir2, but if dir2 exists, the directory dir1 will be moved into the dir2 directory under the name dir2/dir1.

  • Copy CSV file from windows to linux

    Our oracle is installed on UNIX machine so we have to place CSV file there.
    We are on windows.We are using Putty client to access UNIX server.
    how to copy CSV file from windows to UNIX server?
    Thanks

    how to copy CSV file from windows to UNIX server?Using scp (secure copy).
    It is supported by Putty and ssh services are available by default on most (if not all) modern Unix servers.
    Don't have a Windows machine close by, but I recall the scp command is supported by the Putty executable called "+pscp.exe+".
    The syntax is very simple:
    scp <from_destination> <to_destination>
    example (pushing a file from Windows to Oracle Unix server)
      scp c:\datafiles\accounts.csv [email protected]:/u01/files/accounts.csv This will prompt for a password.
    You also can use ssh trusted certificates (RSA or DSA keys) to automate this. Using Putty you can generate a key pair that consists of a private key and public key.
    You copy and paste the public key into the destination server's +$HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys+ file. This results the server in trusting that client and allows the client to connect (using ssh, scp and sftp) without having to supply a password (as the private part of the key serves as authentication). (I would however not use the oracle account for this, but a special scp-copy usage Unix account that does not support shell usage)
    If you want to automate it the other way around - have the Unix server pull the file from the Windows client, then you need to install server software on that Windows machine to allow it to provide such a file copy service.
    Again I suggest using ssh - OpenSSH is available for a variety of platforms, and Windows should be included. If not, there should be ssh service for Windows from Microsoft or another vendor that can be used.
    Any other method than ssh will be either insecure or problematic. FTP is insecure as usernames and passwords are transmitted in clear text. Using Windows File Sharing requires Samba to be loaded and configured on the Unix server - and this is extra work installing and configuring and testing s/w that uses a low level security, that is also proprietary and could required setting on the Windows client also to make it work in a somewhat robust fashion.
    The standard today is ssh. It is robust and secure. And it makes a lot of sense to use it.. and pretty good motivation for not using it ifo something else.

  • How can I copy mp3 files from my Itunes library to an SD card for use in a non-apple phone?

    How can I copy mp3 files from my Itunes library to an SD card for use in a non-apple phone?  I can physically copy the tunes as mp3's but the phone does not seem to be able to play all of them.   Do I need to copy an entire album or can I just pick & choose individual songs?   The phone is question is an LG running who knows what for an operating system.

    AAC is Advanced Audio Coding.  Basically it's a format that sounds better than MP3 but doesn't take up as much space as a lossless format (like you'd have on a CD).  More than likely you've had that encoding turned on when you ripped your music into itunes (it's the default encoder).  Therefore your LG phone won't play them.
    You need to turn off the AAC format by going to the iTunes menu, Preferences, General (at the top), then clicking the "Import Preferences" button.  Change the AAC Encoder to MP3 Encoder.  After that you'll have to make MP3 copies of your songs by right clicking them and selecting "Create MP3 Version."  You'll get a copy of the song that should transfer to your SD card and have MP3 encoding.  Hopefully your phone will play that.

  • Can't copy some files from Windows 7 to Mac OSX over network

    Hi,
    I'm running the latest version of Max OSX v10.8.4 on a brand new Macbook Pro.
    I have followed the setup instructions at http://www.7tutorials.com/how-change-workgroup-mac-os-x-easy-networking to access my Macbook from Windows, and http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/24950/how-to-share-a-folder-in-os-x-with-windows/ to share some folders from my Macbook to Windows.
    I am now trying to copy some files from my Windows 7 Pro (SP1) computer to my Mac, and have hit the following problems:
    I can view my Macbook in my list of local networked computers on WIndows, but I cannot access it. Clicking on it causes Windows 7 to try and access it, but then I get a message after a minute saying the network path could not be found. However, if I manually enter the IP address of my Macbook in the Windows address bar (\\192.168.0.191), I can view and access all the shared folders. I can never access the Macbook via it's computer name (\\MACBOOK-ROB).
    I cannot copy some files from Windows to my Macbook shared folders via Windows. There is nothing to distinguish these files from the hundereds of other files that I have successfully copied to my Macbook. They are pictures and music with no special characters in the filenames, not overly long filenames or folder paths, no access restrictions, or any other security restriction that I can see. However, every single attempt to copy these files to my Macbook results in WIndows reporting that access to the destination was denied.
    I have tried both these above scenarios on WiFi and Ethernet, and the results are the same.
    So:
    Why am I unable to access my Macbook by it's computer name on the network? How can Windows see it, but not access it?
    What are the limitations on transferring files over SMB that is (presumably) causing these specific files to fail?
    Thanks for any help you can offer.

    I have a fix for inability to copy files. I had the same problem moving a lot of old files across my LAN from a Windows XP machine to a Mac Mini running Mountain Lion. After confirming copy of some special file, I would get an error that terminated the copy operation, and info on the Mac side would show a locked folder.
    I finally decided to eliminate all special files on the Windows side, before copying, by running
         attrib -s -h -r /s /d [drive or folder]\*.*
    in a command window. Running attrib /?  tells what the arguments mean, but it doesn't explain that you need the *.* to make the command go through the hierarchy clearing the special attributes on all the files.
    After I did that, and then used drag and drop between two Windows Explorer windows (one on the Windows drive, on on the target drive on the Mac), the whole move operation ran to completion without stopping either for error or to ask for confirmation.
    I do not have a fix for the inability to access some computers by name rather than by IP address. I'm looking into the possibility of activating bind on the Mac but I haven't done anything yet.

  • How to copy a file from one location to another ???

    Hi,
    I have a file ('D:/Pictures/1.jpg') and I want to copy this 1.jpg file to a location called 'D:/Folder1'. I tried the WebUtil_File.copy_file function, but it does not work. it returns false boolean.
    I am using windows xp and oracle 10g.
    The webutil configurations are also completed.
    This D: drive is the one which has oracle 10g application server installed.
    Am I doing anything wrong or missed?. I need to complete this urgently. but it does not work.
    Or any other way to copy a file from one place to given any path?. After this I have to renaming (may be using Rename_File function) the copied file. Please advice me.

    An alternative could be HOST command, that calls OS prompt to run a command in the server and then return the focus to the Forms:
    HOST ('copy D:/Pictures/1.jpg D:/Folder1/1.jpg');

  • How do i copy my files from my external hard drive onto my imac

    how do i copy my files from my external hard drive onto my imac

    You should be able to 'migrate them' without having to do so during a reinstall, from an external drive. In some cases, you may be able to use TimeMachine software even if the drive had not been used as a backup.
    The usual way, though, is to drag & drop copy from one to another (volume or folder) you created in there and have open. Or drag an item on top of the icon of a hard disk drive when it is mounted on the desktop. I'm used to working with open folders and windows, because that works best; and then see if I want to change how things look inside their destination. This helps should I later want to burn them to a DVD and have it correct. And I want to know where they are.
    I had more links to some information about importing or migrating data into a Mac from an external, a week ago, but can't find them now. A few good links to pages, but I think I posted what I did find directly to answer someones question about it; and believe the info was in an Apple Support article about TimeMachine, near the lower part of the page with blue words with a disclosure triangle, so you could read more in that page. But I don't believe these two are correct in that TimeMachine (some versions) only allow wireless backup to a drive in a base station unit such as Apple sells, for this. The link I saw simply said how to work around not using the wireless stuff. Maybe it was a dated item, not in these?
    See a main general portal to TimeMachine support,
    here: http://www.apple.com/support/timemachine/
    Or basics that may not provide optional copy methods:
    Mac Basics - Time Machine backs up your mac:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1427
    Perhaps a search of Apple Support database (or even ASC discussions?) would yield ideas, and perhaps find what may work for the kind of files you want to copy, and where they can be found & used later. Are the files for specific applications? Or images, music, etc?
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • How to copy pdf files from computer to ipad

    how to copy pdf files from computer to ipad

    You can PDFs to the iPad, but first you need one or more apps on the iPad that supports PDFs - unlike a 'normal' computer the iPad doesn't have a file system, and everything on it has to be associated with an app.
    Options include free apps such as Apple's iBooks app and also Adobe Reader - and paid-for apps such as GoodReader (which also supports read-only of other documents types).
    For iBooks you can first add the PDFs to your computer's iTunes via File > Add To Library, and you can then sync them by selecting the iPad on the left-hand sidebar of your computer's iTunes (on iTunes 11 you can enable the sidebar via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC) and using the Books tab on the right-hand side to select and sync them.
    For Adobe Reader adnd GoodReader you can use the file sharing on the Apps tab on the right-hand side to copy them over : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4094

  • Copy a file from URL to local HDD

    Hi,
    I've got 2 problems:
    1. I'm an absolute beginner and an german-speaking user of this forum
    2. I want to copy a file from within a signed applet (with full access permissions) from a URL on the server to a local directory on the client. It works with .txt or .ini files, but not with .dll or .exe. The .exe file has only 1KB instead of the 5MB and contains only something like "-1". Help!!
    Here's what i made:
    URL updateurl = new URL(getCodeBase() + "testfile.exe");
    InputStream in = updateurl.openStream();
    FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream("C:\\temp\\testfile.exe");
    byte[] buf = new byte[4096];
    int len;
    while ((len = in.read(buf)) > 0)
         out.write(buf, 0, len);
    out.close();
    in.close();
    Thanks for any help!

    From looking at the code I can't see any blatant errors.
    The only thing I can think of, is: is your code wrapped by a try/catch block which you are ignoring?
    The reason I ask, is that maybe you are not downloading the file you intended in the first place. The reason I think this is because of the line:
    URL updateurl = new URL(getCodeBase() + "testfile.exe");Shoudn't there be a separator between getCodeBase() and testfile.exe? Only a guess, since getCodeBase may already return the separator.

    Edited by: hajani on Dec 7, 2008 4:11 AMIf you really do mean 'jar' file an not 'zip' or 'rar' then you can use class java.util.jar.JarFile and write your own code. If you don't feel like writing a load of code then and you can guarantee that the 'jar' executable is going to be available then you could use Runtime.exec() or it's cousin ProcessBuilder. If you mean a 'zip' file then you could use class java.util.zip.ZipFile and write a load of code. If you mean a 'rar' file then you will either have to find a 'rar' class library or again use Runtime.exec().

  • Copying a file from Cd/Dvd to MacBookPro?!

    Hi,
    I have got a MacBook Pro 2.33 and when I try to copy a file from cd or dvd ( let's say a movie about 700Mb) it takes about 20 minutes!! and furher if I try to open an app. during the copy it jump for a long time in the dock and when finally the app. appears it works very very slow. It's normal such behavoir or I have got some problems with my Mac?
    Thanks

    That is not normal. It is a multithreading operating system. Sounds like either your hard drive is overfull, or your RAM might be bad, or the Spotlight index hasn't completed, or you have too many active widgets, the directory is damaged, a bad peripheral needs an updated driver, or if you migrated from a PowerPC Mac to an Intel Mac you used Migration Assistant. The latter is not recommended because old PowerPC drivers and plugins can slow down your system. This is how I'd migrate from PowerPC to Intel:
