Using APEX to validate and move a file to directory on the network - How To

Version 4.0.2.00.07
Hello,
I just received a requirement to create a screen to allow a user to upload an Excel file from their computer. The upload process would validate the columns in the file and move the file to a directory on the network where some other process would take that file and process it.
The part I'm unsure about is the moving the file to the network directory when it passes the validation.
Can someone help me with that part?
What other information can I provide?
Thanks,
Joe

Hello Joe,
You can do that with UTIL_FILE API and FTP. Search PL/SQL forum with UTIL_FILE and NETWORK keywords.

  • Using Windows 8.2 and copying large files over USB 3.0 to Segate Backup Plus USB hard drive - I get the following error:-

    Error 0x80070079: The semaphore timeout period has expired
     Using Windows 8.1 with a 3 - 4TB USB Segate drive that is using Microsoft's bitlocker.    It seems I can copy small files w/out issues; however, copying large files and directories causes this error.  Connectivity is USB 3.0 from a Dell

    Can anyone share fix or determine methodology to fix?

    Hi Joe,
    Was the error gone when you turned off the Bitlocker from this drive?
    If no, please refer to this similar thread's solution to resolve:

  • What is the best software programs that I can use to read, write and modify data / files on external HD (NTFS format i.e.  Windows) ?

    Hi guys,
    I’m new to Mac and have a MacBook Pro Lion OS (10.6.8 I think !!!) with Parallels 7 (Windows 7) installed. Can someone please tell me what is the best software program that I can use to read, write and modify data / files on external HD (NTFS format) from the Mac OS ? I heard of Paragon and Tuxera NTFS. Are they free ? Are they good ? Are there any other software programs out there ? I heard that some people have issues with Paragon.
    Thanks.

    Your best bet would be to take the drive to the oldest/compatible with that drive Windows PC and grab the files off, right click and format it exFAT (XP users can download exFAT from Microsoft) and then put the files back on.
    Mac's can read and write all Windows files formats except write to NTFS (and in some cases not read) so if you can change the format of the drive to exFAT (all data has to be remove first) then you will have a drive that doesn't require paid third party NTFS software (a license fee goes to Microsoft) for updates.
    Also it's one less hassle to deal with too.

    I am getting messages that I can't download and read .pdf files since I have the wrong Adobe reader. I know about their security disasters of course, but I downloaded the latest version of Adobe Reader from the Adobe web site and I have other ,pdf file readers as well, and for some reason they won't work either. I have 5 computers running top end processors and RAM. By this I mean I have one, this one which I am using that has an AMD Phenom Black 3.2 Quad-core with 8 GBs of Corsair top DDR2 RAM, my other two AMD have either an Athlon II triple core with 4 GBs of DDR2 Corsair RAM, one with the Phenom X4 965 3.4 GHz Quad-core with 8 GBs of their best DDR2 RAM, and two Intels with the i7 920 Processors using the triple channel 1366 socket processors and one with 8 GBs of low latency DDR3 RAM and the other with 4 GBs of the same RAM. I am getting the message on this one, which has a fresh install of XP Pro X64 operating system, as do the other 4 as well. I have run Avast Business Pro Anti-virus on this one, which I am getting the message on with a single result which I deleted, and also both Spybot Search and Destroy, which came back clean as well as Malwarebytes Antimalware, which got a lot of tracing cookies now removed, and SuperAntiSpware which also found a few cookies also now deleted. Can you tell me what I need to do to get these files to show as .pdf files rather than as a clean blank page. One other issue is that I wish to know how to turn off my downloads so they are saved and Mozilla will give me the option of returning them instead of me losing them all together as it does now. Thanks for your assistance. If there is another Adobe reader I should download and install, could you provide me with the link to it? I appreciate your assistance here

  • Office 2010 & 2007 - Excel and Access File Locking Out On the Network With Multiple Users

    This is also posted in the Office 2010 - IT Pro General Discussions, but was suggested to repost here, since a definitive answer was not found.
    Hi,
    An issue that's happening is that Excel and Access files are locking on the network. We're currently using Office 2007 and 2010.
    Here are some different scenarios that are happening:
    When opening the file it is locked out by “User X” which is the person that has the file locked out and no one else can open the file.
    When opening the file it is locked out by “User Y” which is NOT the actual person, but is locked out by “User X” and no one else can access the file.
    When opening the file  it is locked out by “…another user” which is generic and no one else can access the file.
    The two more common events are incident 1 and 2 with 3 happening the less common.
    This message will continue until the sessions are closed through computer management on the file server.
    The file server is running Windows Server 2003.
    This does happen on both Windows XP and Windows 7 clients.
    This does happen for users using Office 2007 and Office 2010.
    There are two sets of Office 2010 Users when it comes to patches. Everyone has the most current patches with Office 2010 SP2 while anyone that has Microsoft Project 2010 is using all the current update before Office 2010 SP2.
    All users that are using Office 2007 have all the current patches and service packs.
    Another variable is that we have users that will leave a file open on the network for 3+ days and after a while it will lock the file out.
    Also we have Shadow Copy that runs daily on the system which I'm not for sure if that impacts anything if a file is opening during that time.
    Any ideas on how to mitigate the lock out issues would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Binary Process
    Edit November 12, 2013: This issue can occur if and if not another person actually has the file open. If the person doesn't have the file open then there is a hung connection which needs to be disconnected by going to the Computer Management of the File
    server.

    Hi Binary,
    I know that the description of the hotfix does not relate to the issue. The purpose is to install it for upgrading SMB related file.
    A similar issue I encountered before:
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/b7fcc59b-52d9-4a02-863a-1a529bcb8cb1/temp-doc-etc-files-dont-close-after-a-file-closes-this-causes-locked-files?forum=winserverfiles
    It is resolved by upgrading SMB files so maybe it will help on your case.

    Can somebody please help?
    I am really in a hurry to know it.
    Thanks a lot.
    P.S: For the iphone 4S. is there any difference for the one from online shop or the actual store?

    iPhones purchased from the online Apple Store in Australia will be unlocked. To the best of my knowledge, unlocked iPhone are not available from the physical Apple Stores at this time, though you can call the Apple Store in Melbourne and inquire.
    Note that the warranty on iPhones is not international, so if you purchase an iPhone in Australia and it needs service, you would have to ship the iPhone to someone in Australia to take or send to Apple for service and then ship it back to you.

  • I write digital port by 'DAQmx Configure Logging.vi​' and receive TDMS file with 8 boolean channels. How can I write to 1 integer channel?

    Hello!
    I want to write 1 digital port from PXI-6536 with streaming to TDMS file.
    I'm writing by 'DAQmx Configure Logging.vi' and become TDMS file with 8 boolean channels.
    How can I write to 1integer channel?

    Hey Atrina,
    The actual data stored on disk is just the raw data (that is, a byte per sample in your case).  It's really just a matter of how that data is being represented in LabVIEW whenever you read back the TDMS file.
    I'm not sure if there is a better way to do this, but here is a way to accomplish what you're wanting:
    Read back the TDMS file as a digital waveform.  Then there's a conversion function in LabVIEW called DWDT Digital to Binary.  This function will convert that set of digital channels into the "port format" that you're wanting.  I've attached an example of what I mean.
    Note: When looking at this VI, there are a few things that the downgrade process did to the VI that I would not recommend for these TDMS files.  It added a 1.0 constant on the TDMS Open function, and it set "disable buffering" on the TDMS Open function to false; you can get rid of both of those constants.
