Using reposcan to remove files

Hi All,
I'd like to remove files wich are no more referenced in BO repository (no corresponding infoobjects)
So, I thought reposcan coul'd help me to do this but when I use the "scan" option, I have the following message for that kind of files :
"File <path file>\xxx.wid exists in the Input or Output FRS, but there is no corresponding InfoObject in the repository. Please republish the file. The application will not publish this file for you"
What I really want is not to republish these documents but permanently remove the files (xxx.wid).
Is there an option to force reposcan to do this ? Another tool ?
Thanks.

Hi,
as far as i know there is no parameter to delete these files.
You could try the "-repair" option to create an identifier in the CMS DB or go manually to the path shown in the outcome and delete the .wird file.

I keep getting an error code while trying to import a cd to my itunes: Error occurred while converting the file. The disc you are attempting to use is full. removing files and emptying the recycle bin will free up additional space. What does this mean?

I keep getting this error code while trying to import a cd to my itunes: "Error occurred while converting the file. The disc you are attempting to use is full. removing files and emptying the recycle bin will free up additional space." What does this mean?

Well it probably means exactly what it says... How much free space is there on your hard drive where the iTunes Media folder resides? I believe there is also an obscure bug that can occur when software doesn't read the true value of the free space properly, and the workaround is, perversely, to duplicate some content so that with less actual free space the software in question perceives it as more. I've no idea if iTunes is affected by such a bug.

Error 550 when using CFFTP to remove a file

I'm using cfftp to download files which I parse, then I need to delete the file from the server. (coldfusion 11 - development)
I can list, and download the files fine, but am butting my head into a problem that I can't seem to resolve.
USING THE SAME PATH AND FILE NAME that allowed me to 'get' the file - When I try to remove the file - I get this error.
Error: 550 file: No such file or directory .
(again - the path and file name I provide are identical to the path/filename -
if this is a permission problem, I can delete files thru Filezilla, using the same credentials - with no problem)
Here is the call to remove -
    <cfftp action="remove"
            connection="myConnection1"
            passive="true"
            timeout="360"
            remotefile="#myPath##fileName#"
            item="file" >

I'm not sure where you got the "This is not what the docs say" part. Looking down the list of CFFTP attributes in the CF11 docs that apply to a "remove" operation, those were the attributes I would have expected to need. Although I agree the examples could be clearer and a specific example of removing a file would be useful.

Framemaker uses $filename for short file name, can we edit this to change appearance? We do not want the short file name of long filename to include the .fm extension can this be removed or modified to make this happen?

Framemaker uses <$filename> for short file name, can we edit this to change appearance? We do not want the short file name of long filename to include the .fm extension can this be removed or modified to make this happen? In compiling our books it would be helpful to not have this extension appear as it then requires us to create extra files without them.

How to remove file attachments using the SDK

I am looking for ways to programmatically remove file attachments from work items. If I recall correctly, the system only keeps the file for as long as the relationship exists, so that, in theory, the file is deleted from the database a soon as the
relationship is removed.
I found this
Using the SDK to Create and Edit Objects and Relationships Using Type Projections
Is this the only way or are the other, simpler ways for deleting relationships and/or file attachments?
Is this something I could do with the Orchestrator Remove Relationship activity?
A little background on this question: I have multiple different teams with varying data retention requirements for Service Requests. My longest requirement is 3 years (audit) while most teams only require 90 days. I was looking to add in some
jobs for some more aggressive file attachment grooming to keep the database smaller.
Thanks.

The relationship is defined as a membership/containment relationship. So, yes, if you delete the relationship, the file attachment (and the associated blob) are deleted as well.
Based on the background you described, I'm assuming you identify a bunch of work orders whose files you want to delete if they're older than X. So, for instance "Work Items with Y team; delete file attachments older than 90 days", "Work Items
with Q team; delete file attachments older than 3 years". Is that right?
If so, you don't necessarily need to delete relationships specifically...you can simply delete the file attachment objects which will delete the relationship, the file attachment object, and the associated blob (the file itself in the database).
Using the SDK, you will not need type projections for this. You'll only need the work item object(s) (an incident or service request or whatever), the GetRelatedObjects<>() method, and an IncrementalDiscoveryData object.
So, after you get all of the appropriate work items, you can use the following snippet to delete their file attachments if the attachments meet your age requirements
//Connect to the management group
String strMySCSMServer = "<my mgmt server>";
emg = new EnterpriseManagementGroup(strMySCSMServer);
IncrementalDiscoveryData idd = new IncrementalDiscoveryData();
ManagementPackRelationship relWorkItemHasFileAttachment = emg.EntityTypes.GetRelationshipClass(new Guid("AA8C26DC-3A12-5F88-D9C7-753E5A8A55B4")); //System.WorkItemHasFileAttachment
//Get the work item's related file attachments using it's Id
Guid myWorkItemGuid = new Guid("<some work item guid>");
IList<EnterpriseManagementObject> lstFileAttachments = emg.EntityObjects.GetRelatedObjects<EnterpriseManagementObject>(myWorkItemGuid, relWorkItemHasFileAttachment, TraversalDepth.OneLevel, ObjectQueryOptions.Default);
//Loop through each file attachment
foreach (EnterpriseManagementObject emoFile in lstFileAttachments)
//Determine its age
DateTime AddedDate = (DateTime)emoFile[null, "AddedDate"].Value;
TimeSpan FileAttachmentAge = AddedDate.Subtract(DateTime.Now);
//Prep the file attachment for deletion if it's old enough, in this example, older than 90 days
if (FileAttachmentAge.Days > 90)
idd.Remove(emoFile);
//Submit the deletions to the database.
idd.Commit(emg);

Updated to Mavericks OS X but can't use my external drive by WD My Passport. The Mac reads it but I can't add/remove files to the external drive. Help?!

Updated to Mavericks OS X but can't use my external drive by WD My Passport. The Mac reads it but I can't add/remove files to the external drive. Help?!
The WD My Passport, I purchased back in early December 2013 & I just used it the other day after I updated my Macbook... & of course it says in the online manual it works for Mac Lion, Mountain Lion, Snow Leopard but not this new Maverick update. Is there anything I can do?

I like the free demo of SuperDuper to make clones. It's free, Tiger and Leopard ready and is easy to use. If you buy the full version you can do incremental backups.
You should use Disk Utility to do a Disk Repair, as shown in this link, booted up on your install disk, before you make a clone of it.
I then partition my external disk, in Disk Utility, with a partition that is the same size , actually a tad bigger, as my system disk. I then use SuperDuper to clone my system disk over to that partition.
With a clone on an external FireWire drive (USB drives are not bootable on some Macs) you can bootup on it to do your repairs or just run your Mac anytime you have trouble with your main drive. Be careful, there are a few external FireWire drives out there that are not bootable on Macs. Check the drive's manual to be sure.

Auto upgraded last night, Norton popped up with warning about using an exe file - Nortorn removed file now firefox won't work - what to do to restore firefox and keep bookmarks, etc. or is new exe safe to use?

After Firefox upgraded, I closed the upgrade window and started firefox. When I went to bookmarks and tried to open a program a Norton window opened warning that this was untested...only 10 users in the community and gave three options:
1. Block program
2. Remove file
3. Let it run.
Not really knowing what was going on, I picked option 2. The "removal" was still running 7 hours later so I shut the computer down manually. All other programs seem to be working fine (email, Internet Explorer, etc.)
When I now open firefox I have the option to start a new session or restore. I have not restored and a new session will stay open a few seconds before microsoft closes the program ( program has stopped working). I would like to restore firefox and get it working without loosing my bookmarks, etc.or have Norton try to block the program. Also, I think the exe file in question is a launcher.

What are the names of the files? That is your beginning. One
option is to isolate your computer from the web while you get
back control.

Using bash as your file manager?

Actually, I found this to be one of the best advantages of using bash is that it forces a user to think about file organization and making useful naming schemes for files.
For example, instead of having 1000+ media files in one directory I subcategorize theme by genre or whatever, and then probably subcategorize them again.
Then I usually rename the files to something meaningful, like if I have 50 pictures of my kids birthday, just do a for each loop on the directory and rename all the files donovan_birthdayX.jpg where X is an integer incrementation.
essentially. just don't "have files cluttered all throughout you hard drive and folders all over". and your life will be much happier regardless of how you manage your files.

How can I remove files from the startup disk

I am getting a screen when I am trying to quit saying the "MAC OS X startup disk has no more space available for application memory" by closing the windows and removing files from the startup disk will help.
How do I do this?

That error message is misleading. Your problem is excessive swapping of data between physical memory and virtual memory.
That can happen for two reasons:
You have a long-running process with a memory leak (i.e., a bug), or
You don't have enough memory installed for your usage pattern.
Tracking down a memory leak can be difficult, and it may come down to a process of elimination.
In the Activity Monitor application, select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected. Click the heading of the Real Mem column in the process table twice to sort the table with the highest value at the top. If you don't see that column, select
View ▹ Columns ▹ Real Memory
from the menu bar.
If one process (excluding "kernel_task") is using much more memory than all the others, that could be an indication of a leak. A better indication would be a process that continually grabs more and more real memory over time without ever releasing it. Here is an example of how it's done.
The process named "Safari Web Content" renders web pages for Safari and other applications. It uses a lot of memory and may leak if certain Safari extensions or third-party web plugins are installed. Consider it a prime suspect.
If you don't have an obvious memory leak, your options are to install more memory (if possible) or to run fewer programs simultaneously.
The next suggestion is only for users familiar with the shell. For a more precise, but potentially misleading, test, run the following command:
sudo leaks -nocontext -nostacks process | grep total
where process is the name of a process you suspect of leaking memory. Almost every process will leak some memory; the question is how much, and especially how much the leak increases with time. I can’t be more specific. See the leaks(1) man page and the Apple developer documentation for details.

Removing files from a dead powerbook drive

I need to remove files from a dead powerbook which has motherboard failure. Does not boot up so Target mode will not work. Is there another way to do this?
Do they make drive dock connectors for this?

You could remove the drive and use a drive adapter. Many places make drive adapters.
I like OWC. Here is an example.

Problem removing files and other issues

Hello, i have been using Solaris 10 now for almost a week. I am starting to see a lot of flaws in it. I hate to go back to Linux when I have wanted Unix for so long. well here are my problems.
Removing files from the DIR /export/home/ gives me this error:
Error "Not on the same file system" while deleting "/export/hom...-1.src.rpm".
would you like to continue?
[Skip] [X_Cancel] [Retry]
I seem to get that error everytime I try to delete a downloaded file, also I am logged in as root. (because I created a user account, assigined the user a group and password and I still can't log in with it)
I also configure my panel, and add applications like the cd player, and when i reboot my computer, the applications are question marks wich are also dead links.
I can't set my clock. the timezone seems to be messed up.
When I reboot my computer or shut it down, it takes longer everytime to boot back up. I have timed it. The computer has passed infant mortality, but it is still young, and runs good. So i am assuming all my hardware is fine. since i have installed the os, I have installed firefox. and I have used firefox. that is about it. I am loggin in as root, so i am extremely carefull with what i do, I just seem to have a new problem with each log in. I am starting to feel like Unix is losing it's special value, but i want to try and fix the problems before giving up, after all, it has been less than a week.
If you have any information on anything that i babbled on about thank in advance.

Had the same problem. This post (external) seems to suggest this is Nautilus problem: http://unix.derkeiler.com/Newsgroups/comp.unix.solaris/2005-04/1109.html
Deleting stuff form the shell instead works as a workaround, but then you don't have the benefits of trash can.

How do I remove files from my HD if MacBook Pro is not starting up?

My MacBook Pro has a solid state aftermarket hard drive that is completely full and is now causing start up problems. When I turn my laptop on the login screen comes up and I can enter my password and login as usual. However after login just a grey screen appears and it stays that way forever until I shut the computer down by holding power button. if I physically remove my hard drive is there any way I can hook it up to a different computer and remove files to free up enough space to allow my Mac to successfully start up and login? Ive already tried safe boot and NVRAM/PRAM reboots but neither of those worked. Let me know if my idea is possible/how or any other methods that would help me out.
Thanks,
Isaac

If you have another Mac, use Target Disk Mode. Connect your Mac to the other Mac using a Thunderbolt or FireWire cable, and hold down the T key while booting up on the problematic Mac. If you go into Finder on the other Mac, the first one's hard drive should show up as a disk.

How to restore the removed files back?

Recently, in order to free up space of a WD external hard drive, I have removed some files. And I remember I have backed up them on another computer drive. However, yesterday, I found that these files were all missing from this computer
drive. It was really strange.
Is it possible for me to restore these removed files back? Any idea would be appreciated.

Is there anyone that has used this computer drive before?
Perhaps, there is some one that has accidentally deleted these files.
OK! Don’t worry! In my opinion, you’d better not to use this drive right now and try to restore these files back by applying data recovery programs.
To retrieve them back, you could ask for a professional service or also download a free data recovery tool. The former way could cost a lot.
So, I suggest you to try a free data recovery program at first. There are many free data recovery programs available online, such as
Recuva, Power Data recovery and iCare Data recovery Free, etc.
Next time, you should never back up some important files only on one drive.
Thank you for your listed data recovery freeware.
Thanks a lot!
