Unix to Dos conversion

Hi -
I am getting files from Unix server. I am currently manually changing the file format from Unix to Dos. Whats the way to automate this process? Whats the command in windows to do this?
-app

I don't know what you mean by 'normal DOS format' But Calendar has a method setTimeInMillis(), that might help you.
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.1/docs/api/java/util/Calendar.html
Also there is the class SimpleDateFormat which might help you:

Dreamveaver CS4 converting UNIX to DOS on file upload

Dreamveraer 4 on Windows Vista.
My settings: Line break type: LF (UNIX).
FTPExtensionMap.txt: HTML ASCII.
When I edit and save any file with *.html extension locally
(utf-8) it is successfully saved as UNIX.
But when I uploading files to FTP, file is uploaded as DOS
(U8-DOS).
I need files in UNIX to get correct SVN work for html
templates.
Is it a bug? Please let me know any solution to fix this
issue.

What OS is running on the host server?

Need to convert lab from UNIX to DOS

I need to convert this lab from Unix so that it will run as a batch file in Windows (substitute with the appropriate commands). (I will definitely be starting some UNIX classes soon).

Look up the SimpleDateFormat class: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/text/SimpleDateFormat.html

Unix timestamp / epoch conversion in IQ

Hello,
I searched the community as well as some other historical locations, but couldn't find any discussions on this.
In several of the projects I am working with, there is a source datetime field that always comes in as a unix timestamp (i.e. seconds since the epoch). The question I regularly get is, can we load this into IQ and have it converted during load from the integer into an IQ datetime column.
I have my own suggestions for how to solve this already, but rather than influence the creative (or resolute) mind, I thought I'd put it out to the community to see how you have/would solve this issue?
Thoughts??
Thank you,

None that I am aware of during the LOAD TABLE event. You can always load it and post process the data, but that's gets ugly and requires you to carry an extra column in your table. My typical approach is to have the data converted before loading into IQ. If the data is being touched by a streaming engine, ETL tool, or replication, you can do it all inline with those tools and a little coding. For 3rd party tools, I would have them change their code to generate readable date/time stamps. That or pre-process the data with something like sed or awk.

Unix to NT4 conversion?

High
We currently have some reports already built on a Unix Server (in rep format) and would like to run them on a NT4 PC running reports.
Is there a utility or some other way to convert them across? I already ftp 'd them across and tried to use Reports Runtime, but get an REP-0110 & REP-1070.
Appreciate any help!
Was :)

The source code (.RDF file) can be FTP'd from one platform to another.
If you prefer to run the .REP instead of the .RDF, FTP the RDF from Unix to NT, and recompile them on NT.

Unix and dos commands from Java

How can I issue a unix command from a java program eg: setenv
help would be appreciated

setenv is a C shell builtin command. And it wouldn't make any sense to execute setenv from Java anyway, because the environment variable changes would only apply to that shell and possibly (if the variable is exported) to subprocesses.
But look at the java.lang.Runtime.exec() method and the Process class.
(http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/lang/Runtime.html)
Be careful of input and output to the commands. If the command produces output and you don't read it from the getOutputStream(), your command will hang forever when the OS stdio buffer fills up. This can cause terrible random hangs. Search the forums for more on how to handle input and output. You'll probably need multiple threads to read/write the different streams. (stderr, stdout, stdin)

Difference in reading a text file in Windows & Unix

I have a code which is working fine in windows but is stopping after reading the first line of a text file in
Unix. The code is something like below:-
declare
file_handle text_io.file_type; /*running form*/
filename varchar2(60);
v_line varchar2(200);
begin
message('before fopen');
filename:=:file_name;message(filename);
file_handle:=text_io.fopen(filename,'R');
loop
begin
text_io.get_line(file_handle,v_line);
--:line:=v_line;
exception
when no_data_found then
text_io.fclose(file_handle);
message('NO MORE DATA IS FOUND ');
temp:='stop';
exit;
when others then
text_io.fclose(file_handle);
message('ERROR ');
exit;
end;
mob_no:=substr(v_line,1,10);
begin
message(' Mobile NO is '||mob_no);
message(' Mobile NO is '||mob_no);
exit when temp='stop';
end loop;
commit;
message('File SUCCESSFULLY LOADED........');
message('File SUCCESSFULLY LOADED........');
end;
Is there any difference in reading a text file in Windows & Unix.
I hope, my question is clear. Please help in solving the doubt as it is urgent.
Regards.

There is no difference in reading a file - you use TEXT_IO in the normal way. However there is of course a difference in the format of text files between Unix and Dos so if you had say transferred your test file from Dos to the Unix box for testing strange things might happen if you had not transferred in ASCII mode.

I haven't done anything with my macbook pro but it is running in MS-Dos environment. In what kind of situation this can happen.

Hi, has anyone have the problem that you haven't done anything with you macbook pro but its operating system is running in dos environment?

Do you have Windows installed?
No? Then it can't be running in DOS. (Disk Operating System)
Mac's run BSD Unix, not DOS. however single user mode looks like DOS.
If you booted the Mac holding the command and s keys, that's single user mode, which is the root level command line.
type exit or reboot or restart (one of those should work) and press enter, then reboot normally or load OS X.
If it's always entering this enviroment, then something is set on it to do that.
It's possible to set the machine to display this mode upon boot, but once OS X is loaded it should disappear.

Archived PDF Documents in UNIX Format

Hi there!
I searched the forums, but i did not find sth. helpfull to my issue.
Maybe someone can help me here.
I want to convert a abap list spooljob to pdf, save it on the application server and write it into our archive.
This is no Problem by using "CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF" then "OPEN DATASET ...." and "ARCHIVE_CREATE_FILE".
But if I retrieve the file from the archive its named like "name.1" So our application (Ceyoniq Viewer) is not able to open it since i change the name into "name.pdf"
I think that the converted spooljob is saved on the application server as a UNIX file and then stored into the archive. So our viewer-application cannot identify it as a pdf File until i change the ending into".pdf"
How can i convert files on the application server from UNIX into DOS Format?
Or maybe somone hes another idea how to solve my problem.
We are using a 4.6C System.
Thanks and best regards
Gerald

Hi
I too am facing the the same problem.
I also want to read a UNIX file on the application server into readable format for my program.
If you have got the answer please tell me.

Convert unix text file cannot be processed in BW

Hi,
via a SFTP interface we extract a csv file from windows NT server to our BW system (UNIX).
When we load the file into BW we get an error.
This is caused by UNIX, the way it stores the data.
Somehow we have to convert, before we load into BW, the file back from UNIX into DOS format.
Is their any smart solution for this problem? Can it be resolved by abap? Or must the SFTP software do the job?
Regards,
Hans

Try something in SFTP only as it is working fine for us. May be file transfer mode needs to be changes.

Problem in a Interface

Hi....
I have an Interface which actually downloads the "MATERIAL MASTER DATA" from SAP to a flat file.
The current o/p of the interface looks like:
MAT NO. MAT DESCRIPTION Subst. Mat no......
Now they askd me to add 3 more fields to that existing program.
those are:
1.OUTSERT No.
2.MEDICATION PART No.
3.AWP PRICE.
So I have written 2 FORMS to retrieve these things.
1st FORM is for getting OUTSERT and MED. PART No.
2nd FORM for AWP PRICE.
(1) OUTSERT: This we get from STPO-IDNRK field. similarly
(2) MED. PART NO.: This also is from STPO-IDNRK field.
The method I used for getting these two things is:
Basically the OUTSERT and MED PART NO. is nothing but the BOM COMPONENTS [STPO-IDNRK].
There is a simple difference between these two things:
If the BOM Component contains 'O' or 'OP' in that value then it is taken as OUTSERT.
For Eg: If STPO-IDNRK value is 73543O or 98723OP then it is OUTSERT.
and If STPO-IDNRK value is 65489M or 68785MP then it is MED. PART NO.
and we have two conditions to be satisfied to calculate these two things,
1.The Material Group[MARA-MATKL] should be 'OST' or 'OSP'.
means MARA-MATKL = 'OST' or 'OSP'.
2.The Alternative BOM Text[STKO-STKTX] should be 'UNRESTRICTED'.
means STKO-STKTX = 'UNRESTRICTED'.
Coming to AWP PRICE, it should be get from field RATE[KONP-KBETR].
I have used tables STKO, STPO to get Outsert and Med. Part No and A505, KONP for AWP Price...
I have highlighted the part of the code which I have included in the existing program....
But there are some problems with that code...so i'm not getting results....
Plz look at the code and let me know wher I've gone wrong...
Thanks much,
The code is:

Invalid registration using cut and paste.

I just reinstalled Window xp, QuickTime and other applications.
After cutting and pasting my name and registration number in the appropriate section of QT Player, I only get an "invalid registration" indication in the Quick Time Preferences window.
What do I do to remedy this?
Thanks, Christian Rieger

In that case, Terminal is ignoring the Mac lineendings. I have the same problem with text pasted from editors like Tex-Edit, however Tex-Edit includes plenty of menu tools for text conversion. The characters are still there but are invisible, so running a script on the window converts the lineendings from any to any format. This is an old story with Macs vs UNIX vs DOS. Every system has its own linendings

Incorrect formatting in Terminal using cut and paste

I'm at a bit of a loss here as none of my other macs seem to do this
When I'm in Terminal and do a copy of text it sometimes seems to corrupt the layout. When I paste it, it would all end up on one line.
For example:
if (a=a) then {
print "test";
would end up as:
if (a=a) then { print "test"; }
Which isn't a big deal for copying 3 lines, but when I'm in a configuration file that requires proper layout or is 100 lines long, can drive me crazy.
I've compaired my terminal settings on my home MBP to my work, all settings are the same. I feel like i'm missing something obvious here... my terminal emulation shouldn't be the issue, if I connect with my "home" mbp it works properly every time..
Anyone have any thoughts? Suggestions? I've tried searching the discussion forums and google, however the terms "cut paste terminal" are pretty widely used
Thanks!

Making a Windows 7 Installation USB Stick

This is a discussion of making a bootable Windows 7 Installation USB-stick Media. It might apply to making other USB connected "Disks" like Smartcards bootable too.
I recently had to do this (a Laptop with no build-in DVD drive and no USB DVD drive around). And it turned out to be surprisingly simple, using nothing but build in Windows tools from the Disk. I only found
this german langauge guide and nothing in english (but I might just have searched after the wrong terms, google has been wierd regarding langauge lately), so I thought I write it up (along with some problems I ran into).
Making a USB-Stick into a bootable Windows 7 (and propably Vista) Media is a 3 step process:
1. Create a Active, Primary, FAT32 Partition of 4+ GB on the stick
2. use bootsect.exe from Windows Disk to create the MBR and Partition Boot Record for that Partition
3. Copy all files from the Disk to said Partition
4. Test if it boots
Detail analysis:
Step 1 is so simple I doubt it needs explanations. Create enough free space on the USB disk (at worst delete all previous Partitions). Make a Priamry Partition of 4+ GiB. Mark it as Active. Format it in FAT32. The Guide used Diskpart,
but this step can be done with any Partition Tool under any Windows, Linux, UNIX or DOS.
While the choice of FAT32 seems a bit outdated, theye propably did not gave the relevant bootlaoder the ability to read NTFS. Or maybe they just though FAT32 is enough for a media that is mostly read. I have not tried what happens if I format it in NTFS, but
it might be possible.
Step 2 was the only tricky part. You need the programm "boot\bootsect.exe" from the Installation Media. It also must be run on a non-UEFI booted OS (otherwise it cancels out).
I had a Windows 8 on a new Laptop so I had a UEFI booted system. Luckily I also had a VMWare Windows 7 lying around. I just assigned the Windows 7 ISO image to the Windows 7 VM, then connected the USB drive to the host.
Once you have the USB stick in a a proper Windows mount the Parttion you created under 1 under any driveletter (should happen automatically under Windows), and open a console as Administrator (asumes DVD is drivletter is D: and the USB stick's partition
ins Driveletter E:):
//Go into the boot directory on the Install DVD
D:
cd boot
//You should see a command promt like "D:\BOOT>"
//Run bootsect.exe
bootsect.exe /nt60 d:
Step 3 is to either copy the contents of the DVD media (copy and paste) or the Image (Mount into Virtual DVD Drive and copy/paste, unpack ISO images contents) into the partition.
How does this compare to other Distribution ways?
To DVD:
There is no need for a DVD drive. Even if a bootable USB-DVD drive is avalible, the Stick or Card will only need only USB port (most USB drives need 2 Ports due the 1 Ampere energy need of the drives).
Flash Media has no seek times and much better throughput (the old weakpoint of any Disk and DVD/CD in particular)
A FAT32 partition is inherently writeable. So modifications to the "Installation media" like Implementing Service Packs and other Windwos Updates, Modifying ei.cfg/preactivation/setup answer files, implementing special Disk/RAID drivers into the Windows
PE or adding stuff that should be installed with Windows is easy (and do not requrie reburning a 4 GiB Image file).
Since it only needs a 4 GiB partition, on a big USB stick there would still be place for other Data Partitions
Since it relies on old techniques (Generic Bootloader + Active Primary Partition + partition boot loader), multiple Installation media on a big enough stick might be feasible (with a more advanced bootloader like GRUB). Have to test that part.
However, the cost/media is a lot higher then a DVD. So if you need multiple Medias it will propably be cheaper to use the old DVD approach.
Due to the needs of bootsec.exe, first creating the media can be more difficulty then just burning an image. But once it is bootable this programm is no longer needed.
To PXE/network Distrubution:
If you have the nessesary setup already (DHCP/PXE Server, powerfull network), the USB stick is likely inferior. The USB stick should beat a 100 MBIT Network easily, but will propably be beaten by a 1 GBIT Network. Network isntallation uses existing infrastructure
(that you need for other reasons anyway) so the cost per media is even lower then the DVD.
The PXE way also has even better modifyability - sending out different answer files or even automatically booting different images based on the Compuers MAC adress are tried techniques.
If you lack the nessesary setup, the USB stick is a lot easier to implement and a lot easier to transport.
Advanced things:
Need to check if the partition could be formated as NTFS. I prefer a Journalling Filesystem for my USB-sticks.
Need to check if using a advanced boot manager techniques (like Grub or modifciations to the BCD of the Windows PE) allows me to put multiple install media on one Stick (with one primary partition per "media"). Especially combining the x32/x86 and
x64 Windows Installation Media would be worthwhile. As would be inlcuding a Window 8 or Vista installation media.
Current Step 3 and 2 can propably be switched. I see no reason bootsect could not run from the USB stick as it runs from the DVD (it only accesses the MBR and
VBR of the Disk, areas not in use by Windows)
Steps 1 through 3 might be possible from the Windows PE environment. If so, only a computer with legacy BIOS boot would be nessesary (no actuall installation).
Windows 7 can be installed on a (U)EFI system, but I have not checked if I can use the boot from teh stick on such a Computer. Latest for Windows 8 Media UEFI compatibilty is nessesary.

I converted the stick to NTFS using the convert.exe and it continued booting. So chances are high they only choose FAT32 in the example because no feature of NTFS was per nessesary in a "almost only reading" scenario like installation media.
The second part depends on the BIOS. I have a more advanced one where I can choose legacy boot options (like USB stick) in the boot option menu even when the default setting is UEFI, as long as I don't need Secure boot (wich I do not).
Another question arose: Windows 7 has the Kernel/BCD level ability to boot from .VHD Files. The only thing preventing version below corporate from using this feature is a license check that is run just before the login (so way after the booting has been
completed).
Starting with 3.0 Windows PE is based on the kernel of Windows 7. So the instlaltion system might have the ability to boot from .VHD too and might have no such check in place. If so, I could put both versions of the Windows 7 installer into .VHD, reducing the
need to have physical primary partitions for those.
Windows bootprocess vs. Linux boot process under BIOS:
The BIOS goes over all the boot media. If it finds one with a MBR, that one is executed and the BIOS part of the boot process is officially over.
-> Under Windows the MBR contains the "generic boot loader". A simple piece of code as old as BIOS (25 Years) that looks for the primary partition with "Active" Flag on "it's" disk. If it finds one, the Partition Boot Record of that parition is executed.
The MBR has done it's part
    -> NTLDR (NT too 2000), this one reads the boot.ini file and gives/executeds apropirate options
    -> BOOTMGR (Vista, 7), this one reads the BCD files
      -> Since Windows 7 BOOTMGR can also chainload the Partition Boot Record that is inside a .VHD File
    -> Wicher was used in Windows 3.X/95/98/ME
Higher versions can chainload lower versions, but must be designed for this and (re)installed in the proper "order".
The sometimes odd behavior that Windows 7 tries to keep 100 MiB in a seperate primary partition is there to have proper places for later additions to the BOOTMGR settings. Specifically it allows multiple BOOTMGR OS to use/edit the same BOOTMGR instace without
running into problems with "whose partition is active?" (since it is always the System Reserved one). It's not disimilar to having an extra /boot partition in Linux or how a GRUB's stage 2 works.
-> Under a typical Grub Legacy the MBR contains the Stage 1. It directly reads the Stage 2 from the proper partition/file system with a hardcoded path, but due to size limit of the MBR cannot do more. In some cases it starts a stage 1.5 wich has more
space to do work (63 sectors between MBR and first partition), but I never used this Setup
    -> Stage 2 loads the Grub Configuration from the disk. From here it depends on what OS you want to boot.
        -> For Linux or Unix the kernel is started directly.
        -> Any Windows OS up to 7 can be booted using the chainloader command. For the OS this is identical to having the partition choosen by the Generic Bootloader.
While it can be chainloaded by the Generic Bootloader from the active primary partition, GRUB and thus Linux has no
requirement for any Primary Partitions. Stage 1 is designed to directly access the specific File System containng the Stage 2. In fact it does not even need to reside on the same disk (as the Generic Bootloader has to).
If one does not need the Active Flag to control the Generic Bootloader (because a proper Stage 1 is installed in MBR) it is adviseable to mark wichever Windows Partition is chainloaded as active (up to Vista at least I had very odd behavior if the Windows boot
partition was not marked active, down to randomly shredded Partition boot managers).
After running a Windows Setup usually the Stage 1 has to be restored, as Windwos Setup will always write it's Generic Bootloader in the MBR. In order to get "rid" of a Grub all one has to do is overwrite the MBR with the Generic Bootloader and set the active
flag properly.
