Wait_for_file() not working for certain file names

Data Services Version: 12.1.1.3
OS: Windows Server 2003.
Hello,
I'm using wait_for_file to poll for files in a certain directory. I've used this in the past for other projects and never had an issue until now.
What seems to be happening is with certain file names, wait_for_file is returning a 1 (meaning at least one file found), however the file list is coming back as blank.
For example:
If I put a file name called cs.p.P110113CN.b.110114 in the directory, I get a blank return file list.
If I then rename this to 110114, it works fine.
Here's the code I'm using:
wait_for_file($GV_InputDirectory || '*',0,0,1,$GV_InputFileName);
$GV_InputDirectory varchar(1000)
$GV_InputFileName varchar(100)
Any ideas why this might be happening? Renaming the file isn't really an option as it's a standard format that we've used for years.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply.
$GV_InputDirectory is set to
wcs-dev-boweb2\c$\DebtManager\Dev\Interfaces\Bulk Payments\Agency\credit-security\Input\.
I'm wondering if it's something to do with the length of the directory/filename combined?
If I place a file called "110114" in there, wait_for_file() works perfectly. If I change it to "cs.p.P110113CN.b.110114", I have problems.

Variable substitution not working for dynamic file name in Receiver File CC

Hi Experts,
I am doing the scenario of Proxy sender to File receiver and my purpose is to Create the text file
as per the filename available in Source Message payload.
I am using the Variable Substitution method for this as shown below.
Source Message Structure:-
     <Row>            -
having Cocurence 1.1
         <Filename>     -
having Cocurence 1.1
         <Item>            -
having Cocurence 1.Unbounded
          <Field1>
          <field2>
         <Item>
         <Item>
          <Field1>
          <field2>
            <Item>
     <Row>
Target structure is same as the source structure and i have mapped the Filename field of the Source
with the Target structure Filename.
In ID the following is the File receiver CC Configuration.
File Name Scheme:- %Dyn_filename%
In Advance tab, I have selected the Enable option and added one row as Variable name %Dyn_filename%
and Reference as payload:Row,1,Filename,1
In testing I am getting the Error as 'variable Dyn_filename is not found in Message payload'.
Please suggest me.

Export to powerpoint not working for certain views

Hi All,
I am in the process of implementation of STVN 2.1 Pre EHP3 version of Nakisa OrgChart for one of my clients.
During testing, it is observed that export to powerpoint object is not working for the following views.
1. Condensed Org. Chart
2. Compressed OrgChart -Only works when we expand at least one position
3. Horizontal OrgChart - Condensed children-Only works when we expand at least one position
In all the other views the export to Powerpoint object are working fine.
Export of powerpoint image is working in all the scenarios. We are facing issue only with powerpoint object.
I have implemented Export Pack 3.0 for OrgChart.
J. Thomas

Hi Luke,
Thanks for the response.
Yes...I have installed SP1.0. I have also applied Export Pack 3.0.
The following features are working fine.
1) Export to PDF
2) Export to JPEG
3) Export to Powerpoint Image.
Export to Powerpoint Object is also working fine if the style is 'Vertical'. The issue is only in case of 'Condensed', 'Compressed' and 'Horizontal OrgChart - Condensed children' sytles. Here again, if we expand at least one position, the export is working.
The error message that is flashed for the user is the usual one....pasted below.
Object Variable or With Blovk Variable Not Set.

Encode Video Files not working for avi files

Hi,
I've been trying to convert some .avi files to apple format using Lion's native 'Encode video files' function however keep getting a 'avconvert: source file not found for source file://fileparthhere avconvert: failed to create an export session. Check setup
I can't work out why as this has worked before in Lion and works fine for other video formats. The only thing I've done is remove Final Cut Express HD and can't add it again as I don't own it anymore
Suggestions? Is there a encoder to make this work or should it work anyway?
Thanks

If you click Yes the project file will be updated when you save it. That has nothing to do with the media.
Are the Lesson and Media folders still in the Book Files folder (or whatever it's called)?
Select one of the clips in the browser and use Edit>Item Properties. One of the first lines is Source. That gives you the file path for where your media is supposed to be located. What does it say? If nothing is there, use the File>Reconnect function and point the application to where the media is located.

Oracle text search not working for WSDL files

I have a table (resources) with blob data type column (xml_data) and I've created context type index on that column. I've XSD and WSDL files stored in that blob column.
I can search XSD and XML files with a query with contains operator. But any search on the words from wsdl file returns zero results.I am not able to perform search on wsdl file.
Please advise me whether oracle text can work for WSDL files also ?
Query details
===========
create index myIndex on resources (xml_data) indextype is ctxsys.context;
select * from resources where contains(xml_data, 'searchword') > 0
Thanks a lot,
Santhi

Even though it isn't listed specifically, I can't see why it wouldn't work. The WSDL file should be a simple XML file, so in theory it shouldn't be any different to Oracle Text than the XML file that you loaded and searched successfully. Did you get any errors during indexing, and what do your tokens look like in the DR$MYINDEX$I.TOKEN_TEXT column?
Do you have a mini test case that didn't work for you? Perhaps we could play with it a bit.
Long term you might want to consider using section groups so that you can search "within" tags.

Additional Fields for ESS-Business Card Not Working for Certain Countries

Dear Experts,
We were trying to configure the additional fields to be displayed in Business Card - Overview Screen for all countries. We don't have problem configure and get the new fields display for Malaysia (Molga = 14) but having problem for the field to display for Hong Kong (Molga = 27) and Singapore (Molga - 25).
The strange thing is I am following the same steps as I configured for Malaysia. Somehow it is not working for Hong Kong and Singapore. As I understand, there is only 1 place to configure in SPRO for this requirement:
Personnel Management -> Employee Self-Service -> Service-Specific Settings -> Own Data -> Customizing of Personal Information Screens -> Determine Fields for Business Card on Overview Screen
Please help!

Hi Siddhart,
Thank you for the information. We are currently in EhP3 with below Support Components installed.

The note 1159911 provided is within SAPK-60304INEAHR. Thus, I don't think this is the root cause of this inconsistency base on the Highest Support Package installed in our system.
Anymore hint? Anyone? Please...

File.execute() not working for bat file

Dear all,
The purpose of my function copyToWinClipboard (text) is to get a string directly into the Windows Clipboard. The purpose is to allow the user of my project just to paste into the open-dialog of the application EndNote. I’m not certain whether the FM clipboard (supported by the copy/cut/paste methods for Doc) really fills into the Windows Clipboard also.
In the PhotoShop script forum I found the idea how to do this.
#target framemaker
// note the blank in the path
copyToWinClipboard ("E:\\_DDDprojects\\FM+EN escript\\FM-11-testfiles\\BibFM-collected.rtf");
function copyToWinClipboard (text) {
var theCmd, clipFile = new File(Folder.temp + "\\ClipBoardW.bat");
clipFile.open('w');
// theCmd = "echo \"" + text + "\" | clip"; // this doesn’t help either
theCmd = "echo " + text + " | clip";
clipFile.writeln (theCmd);
clipFile.close ();
clipFile.execute ();
Running this script provides a short flicker (the command prompt), but the clipboard does not contain the expected string. However, when double clicking on the generated I:\!_temp\ClipBoardW.bat the clipboard is filled correctly.
IMHO the execute method does not work correctly for bat files. In another area of my project-script i run an exe file with this method correctly.

Hi Klaus,
sorry for my late response.
execute definitely works witch batch-files
Here's a "batch" - example you can test.
There are two methods to prevent window from closing:
"|more" - kind of pagebreak
"pause"
var oTemp = app.UserSettingsDir + "\\tmp";
    var MyDosCommand = "ipconfig.exe /a|more";
    var MyPath = new Folder (oTemp);
    if (!oTemp.exists)
        var MyPath = new Folder (oTemp);
        var lFehler = MyPath.create();
    oTemp = oTemp + "\\" +"nw.bat";
    var MyFile = new File (oTemp);
         MyFile.open ('w');
           if (MyFile.error > "")
                alert("ERROR");
        MyFile.writeln(MyDosCommand);
        MyFile.writeln("pause");
        MyFile.close();
        MyFile.execute();

CRM Availability Check not working for certain Item Category

Hi there,
I have a situation where for certain order type/item category combinations, the availability check on the same material is not working.
The check is set up to happen in SAP ECC.
I have checked the config. under SPRO->CRM->Basic Functions->Availability Check->Availability Check using SAP ECC
as per many SDN posts on this, and everything looks fine.
The new item category, which was a copy of an existing one, works (i.e. gives availability) for certain order types, but not others.
If I create the same order directly in ECC, it works correctly every time.
I searched the code (from consultants who set it up originally) and can see nothing specific to the order type/ item category.
I also put a breakpoint on AVAILABILTY_CHECK function module in SAP ECC - it is not being hit, in the case where check is not successful.
Breakpoints in MV45AFZZ (Sales Order userexit) also not being hit, but they are hit for the Order/item category combination when it works successfully.
Any suggestions on where else this could be configured would be appreciated!
thanks,
David

Hi David,
One 'simple' reason for this could be that the copied item category does not have the
ATP Profile set up in the item category in the IMG. Make sure you have an ATP profile assigned in the area 'ATP Profile' in the item category.
Please see as well the SCN Wiki link:
Availability Check CRM-BTX-BF-ATP - CRM - SCN Wiki

Execute process task argument is not working for sph file and ogr2ogr.exe

Hi All,
I am trying to load shape file into a sql spatial table. A execution process task is used to run the ogr2ogr.exe program.
This is how the process tab looks like .
Executable : C:\gdal_ogr2ogr\bin\gdal\apps\ogr2ogr.exe
Argument : -f MSSQLSpatial MSSQL:server=SQL-ABC-DEV;database=MYSIMPLE_Dev;Trusted_Connection=True;\\mypath\files\shares\Data\www.mypage.htm\my_sample_file.shp
Success value : 1 (I am not sure why I need to change this value from 0 to 1.
For above settings, package runs fine. However the spatial table is not created always. It is created once in a while after switching Success value from 1 to 0 and 0 to 1 again. (After the spatial table is created, it is dropped using a execute sql statement).
I am running this in VS 2012.I saw in an article that we need to convert shp file to csv before we load it into sql server.I even tried to convert shp to csv using execute sql task and ogr2ogr.exe. Still the package runs successfully after changing Success
value from 0 to 1 but no csv file is created. If the success value is 0, it throws the following error.
[Execute Process Task] Error: In Executing "C:\gdal_ogr2ogr\bin\gdal\apps\ogr2ogr.exe" " -f CSV \\xxxxxxxxr.rdn\files\shares\xxx_Data\ImportData\www.xxxxxxx.hapepage.htm\xxxxxx\Watches\Warnings\myfile\CSV \\xxxxxxxxr.rdn\files\shares\xxx_Data\ImportData\www.xxxxxxx.hapepage.htm\xxxxxx\Watches\Warnings\myfiles\www.shp"
at "", The process exit code was "1" while the expected was "0".
Could long file name be a problem too?
Thanks for your help in advance..

Hello shamen,
Seems to me you are missing a step to check if the shape is there and purge it before loading if so.

"Open With" CS3 not working for JPEG file

Operating system is XP. I am trying to get CS3 to automatically open all JPEG files when I double click on them in windows explorer.
I open windows explorer, right click on the image that I want to open, then click "open with" ....
...at this point CS3 is not one of the choices on the "open with" menu so I already smell a problem ....
..... so I click "choose program" and navigate to the adobe photoshop cs3 folder and point to photoshop.exe, then click the "always use the selected program" box, click open, and bada-boom, bada-bing, the image opens in photoshop CS3, right? WRONG.
The image opens in the Quicktime Picture Viewer program and NOT IN PHOTOSHOP CS3.
I feel that I have entered the Twilight Zone, otherwise known as The Adobe Messed Up Someting In The Registry Upon CS3 Install Zone. Does anyone have any hints on how to get PS CS3 working as the default program for JPEGs when I double click them from explorer on my XP computer?
Thanks,
Mark

After a long search I found the answer:
To associate all jpeg files with Photoshop CS3 so that they will open into CS3 when double clicked:
Click Start, Run and type in: Control Folders.
Click the file Types Tab.
Wait for the list of file types to populate.
Single click on the jpeg file type.
Click the Advanced button.
Highlight open and click the edit button.
Browse to the location of photoshop.exe in the CS3 folder.
A few OK's and you are done.
AND ANOTHER THING .........
After the change above was made, jpg files would open directly to photoshop cs3 when doubleclicked, but the maintained the same goofy quicktime pictureviewer icon when viewed in windows explorer. To change the icon for jpeg files displayed in all folders to the photoshop icon, do this:
Start / My Computer
Click Tools at the top of the screen.
Click folder options .... then the file types tab
Click on jpeg in the list and click the advanced button
Click change icon and browse to the photoshop.exe for CS3
A list of ocon choices will appear .... I chose the second row first icon
A couple of OKs and you are done

"Automatically Write Changes Into XMP" Not Working for DNG Files

Hello,
I am needing to update DNG/JPG file pairs with keywords that I add in lightroom. The following is the problem that I am encountering.
When the image consists of only a JPEG file (ie. I had my DSLR only snap a jpeg and not an associated DNG), and I add one or more keywords to the file in Lightroom, these are written / saved immediately in Lightroom and are visible immediately in the 'tags' column for that image in windows explorer. Very useful and important functionality for my workflow.
However, when the image consists of both a JPEG and a sister DNG (i.e.,snapped simultaneously by my DSLR), and I try to add keywords to these (treated at this point as a single image by lightroom) then Lightroom does not record the keywords into either of the two files and consequently no tags are visible in windows explorer. I have confirmed this apparent problem with a seperate image metadata utility software, and am hoping that it's just something simple that I am missing.
Also "Automatically Write Changes Into XMP" is selected and I have also tried manually both: "right click," "metadata," "write metadata to file;" and "right click" "update DNG preview and metadata" and the problem persists.
Hopefully someone has encountered something similar and can point me in the right direction.
Thanks in advance.

@Eric: hitting cntrl+s works but can be tedeous on large galleries. I've been doing this but it can be a pain.
@Jeannine: different topic than this thread but to answer anyways... Lightroom automatically saves all changes into your catalogue. You never need to dave your changes (here's the kicker though) as long as you do not move the original file. If you
move the file than lightroom won't know that it's the same image as the one you've edited. Once you are done editing your image you will need to "export" the image to a new file (you don't wan to overwrite the original). If you don't export than only lightroom will have your edits. Lightroom is "non-destructive" Which means that it doesn't touch your original photo. Lightroom keeps a text file containing the instructions on what you did to make the edited version. Since your changes are just text inatryxtions you have to "export" the image to get your final image in a version you can put online, print, etc. But to answer your original question, I think you prob moves the original image. If not, could you give us more info?

Quick look not working for office files from mail

I installed the new Microsoft Powerpoint on my ipad to check it out. I didn't really like it so I uninstalled it. Now when I am in mail and try to view a Powerpoint presention (or any other office file), quick look opens with just the name and size of the file rather than letting me view the file. I am assuming installing Powerpoint somehow disabled Quick View for those files. How do I fix this? I really need to be able to read office files from Mail on my ipad!!

It sounds like you may have 2 different programs that support quicklook differently. I suspect the .doc files are different formats that are using one or the other application.
A quick test - select a file with the full preview. Get info on it in the Finder (File > Get Info) see what application it is set to open with by default. I suspect this will be TextEdit or MS Word. Compare this to a file that has no preview in quicklook. Change over the default application to the other application and see if the preview appears.
My understanding is that the software has to be aware of quick look to parse the document and create the preview. It could be that one of the softwares needs an update, or is too old to support quicklook.
you should be able to see the version number by opening the application and using the About menu under the Application menu. Post them here if the above doesn't work.
You may also compare the 'Kind' in the info dialog, it could be that they are slightly different formats. Opening and saving may generate the previews (keep the originals if you do this!)

Preview is not working for MEdia files

Suddenly whenever I would like to have a quick look for any video file via (Space bottom) its not working, keep giving that "Loading preview" but never show the video.
i am using quick time X.
any help

There are quite a few different settings that you can choose from when converting a RAW file to a DNG. Without knowing what settings you set up in LightRoom there's no way to tell why your images aren't importing properly.
Roughly speaking, a linear DNG is one where the first part of the RAW conversion process (called debayerising or demosaicing) has already been done by Adobe.

Why does clicking the reload icon and F5 key not work for certain pages. Thanks in advance. Any help is appreciated. :)

Cliffs:
-Open new tabs from original page.
-Clicking reload icon or hitting F5 will not work on new tabs, but works on original page.
-Can "right click" reload tab or all tabs, but reload icon and F5 won't work.
-Been using FF3.6 for months, never a problem. Just started happening 2 days ago. Updated to FF4, but problem still remains.

bump.
