What's the ActivityMonitorD process? -- Activity Monitor with a 'D'

So I've been monitoring my computer's processes with Activity Monitor, working through some possible bugs with a hard drive and I found that there is a process running that isn't listed here: http://triviaware.com/macprocess/all
Anyone know if there is a process called: ActivityMonitorD
That's right *'ActivityMonitor' with a D on the end*. That is a process in addition to the regular 'ActivityMonitor.app'. Anyone able to solve that riddle for me?

What do I make of this information in my Activity Monitor:
PID    Process Name                    User  
1        launchd                              root    
323       acticitymonitord                root  
51          autofsd                           root
50          blued                              root
162        com.apple.dock.extra       root

  • Trying to use the transform process activity - flow with 2 invokes

    I want to transform incoming data with a transform "Process Activity" and write this transformed data out to two files. What I have tried to do is to transform the incoming data and then send the transformed variable into a flow with two invoke "Process Activities" which in turn use two "File Adapter" services to write to two separate output files. When I attempt to deploy this I get a complaint that I cannot use a single variable to feed both invoke "Process Activities" because of name space conflicts. Does anyone know how I could do this transformation without having to write a transformation for each invoke? It seems like it should be possible to simply write one transformation for multiple invoke operations. However, perhaps there is a completely different way to do what I am trying to do. I am fairly new to using BPEL and the Oracle SOA Suite. Thanks much!

    Here is the error message when I try to do what you suggested in your last post:
    Error(83):
    [Error ORABPEL-10035]: wrong messageType
    [Description]: in line 83 of "C:\SOADEMO\DataTransMultVETRO\bpel\DataTransMultVETRO.bpel", messageType "{http://xmlns.oracle.com/pcbpel/adapter/file/FileWrite1/}Employee2_msg" of variable "Invoke_FileWrite1_InputVariable" does not match the expected      messageType "{http://xmlns.oracle.com/pcbpel/adapter/file/FileWrite2/}Employee2_msg" in <invoke>.
    [Potential fix]: make sure the correct variable is used in invoke.
    I believe it is a problem with name spaces. I could change the name space prefixes, but that causes other errors. I am using JDeveloper to create this BPEL process flow using their predefined graphic "Process Activities" and "Services". FYI, I haven't gotten too much into writing the xml from scratch as I would think that the tool should be flexible enough to create this simple process flow.

  • What is the pboard in activity monitor?

    In my activity monitor, it says that the 'pbs' is taking up 800KB, the AppleIDAuthAgent is taking 1,000KB, and the ARDAgent is taking about 900KB of my memory.
    What do these programs do? Can I shut them down or do I need to have them running?

    Those are all built-in system processes and they're using negligible amounts of memory. I suggest you leave them alone.

  • CF11 is crashing ( application pool suffered a fatal communication error with the Windows Process Activation Service)

    I have a cluster of 2 IIS web servers on Windows Server 2008 R2. They had been running on CF10 for over a year (if not two) with no problems. I upgraded one server to CF11 and now that server is crashing while the CF10 servers is still running fine.
    In the Windows event log I'm seeing 4 instances of this error:
    "A process serving application pool '******' suffered a fatal communication error with the Windows Process Activation Service. The process id was '4652'. The data field contains the error number."
    Then finally:
    "Application pool '******' is being automatically disabled due to a series of failures in the process(es) serving that application pool.".
    Looking at the application pool in the IIS admin it is stopped. Restarting will resolve but it will eventually crash.
    What could be the issue?
    -Phil

    I'm seeing in the CF logs leading up to the crash:

  • Time machine space questions, not the same as Activity Monitor

    Hello
    I am new here and kindly ask your thoughts on what I am seeing.
    I have a 13" MacBook Pro early 2011 with OS 10.7.5
    Earlier this year I tried an upgrade to a new OS and experienced a failure that required me to make a visit to the Apple store.
    I believe they reinstalled the OS and if I remember correctly I just did a recovery with the Time Machine backup I had.
    While that backup was not very recent, yea OK I get that was stupid, what was odd was that not all my files were backed up.
    I lost a significant number of files from April 2013 until the time of the failure in 2014, for reasons I have no clue as to why.
    My Time Machine does not have any excluded files as far as I can tell.
    So my first question is:  Can anyone help me understand what may have happened and how to counter that?
    Then yesterday I decided to invest in a new backup external drive.
    During the process of setting it up and doing the 1st Time Machine backup on that, I noticed the following:
    In Activity Monitor under the "Disk Usage" tab shows the Macintosh HD as using 258 of 319 GB, and then selecting my user name it shows using 578 of 639 GB.
    When I did the backup with Time Machine it backed up approximately 250GB.
    I thought Time Machine backed up the entire HD.
    What is the difference between the Macintosh HD space and the user space in terms of usage and total?
    Should I be worried or visiting the Apple store again?

    OK, done.
    I created a text.txt document containing the words "Version 0". I saved it to the Desktop, closed it and selected "Back Up Now" from the Finder.
    Waited for that to complete, opened the test.txt document again, modified it by adding the words "Version 1", saved it, closed it and selected "Back Up Now" again.
    Repeated that twice more, so the end result was a Text.txt containing the words "Version 0", "Version 1", "Version 2", and "Version 3".
    I expect that I should now have three versions from which to choose to restore, all from different times, plus the latest one still on the Desktop.
    Creation and backups now complete, so the next step was restoration:
    From the Finder, I used "Enter Time Machine" and verified that I had four different recent times from which to choose. I chose the original text.txt document and elected to "keep both files". It restored the original, which I opened and verified it contained nothing but the text "Version 0".
    I repeated this for the subsequent version. I opened that one and confirmed it contained the words "Version 1".
    I repeated this for the subsequent version. Now I have three restored text.txt documents, plus the one on the Desktop.
    I opened all four text.txt documents and stacked them as shown in the following screenshot:
    Conclusion, no surprises that I can determine.
    Is this what you had in mind, or was there something I did that was different from what you need?

  • What are the major process to transfer the data from legacy to sap system.

    What are the major process to transfer the data from legacy to sap system using BDC at Real Time only?

    hi,
    BATCH DATA COMMUNICATION
    main methods are:
    1. SESSION METHOD
    2. CALL TRANSACTION
    3. DIRECT INPUT
    Advantages offered by BATCH INPUT method:
    1. Can process large data volumes in batch.
    2. Can be planned and submitted in the background.
    3. No manual interaction is required when data is transferred.
    4. Data integrity is maintained as whatever data is transferred to the table is through transaction. Hence batch input data is submitted to all the checks and validations.
    To implement one of the supported data transfers, you must often write the program that exports the data from your non-SAP system. This program, known as a “data transfer” program must map the data from the external system into the data structure required by the SAP batch input program.
    The batch input program must build all of the input to execute the SAP transaction.
    Two main steps are required:
    • To build an internal table containing every screen and every field to be filled in during the execution of an SAP transaction.
    • To pass the table to SAP for processing.
    Prerequisite for Data Transfer Program
    Writing a Data Transfer Program involves following prerequisites:
    Analyzing data from local file
    Analyzing transaction
    Analyzing transaction involves following steps:
    • The transaction code, if you do not already know it.
    • Which fields require input i.e., mandatory.
    • Which fields can you allow to default to standard values.
    • The names, types, and lengths of the fields that are used by a transaction.
    • Screen number and Name of module pool program behind a particular transaction.
    To analyze a transaction::
    • Start the transaction by menu or by entering the transaction code in the command box.
    (You can determine the transaction name by choosing System – Status.)
    • Step through the transaction, entering the data will be required for processing your batch input data.
    • On each screen, note the program name and screen (dynpro) number.
    (dynpro = dyn + pro. Dyn = screen, pro = number)
    • Display these by choosing System – Status. The relevant fields are Program (dynpro) and Dynpro number. If pop-up windows occur during execution, you can get the program name and screen number by pressing F1 on any field or button on the screen.
    The technical info pop-up shows not only the field information but also the program and screen.
    • For each field, check box, and radio button on each screen, press F1 (help) and then choose Technical Info.
    Note the following information:
    - The field name for batch input, which you’ll find in its own box.
    - The length and data type of the field. You can display this information by double clicking on the Data Element field.
    • Find out the identification code for each function (button or menu) that you must execute to process the batch-input data (or to go to new screen).
    Place the cursor on the button or menu entry while holding down the left mouse button. Then press F1.
    In the pop-up window that follows, choose Technical info and note the code that is shown in the Function field.
    You can also run any function that is assigned to a function key by way of the function key number. To display the list of available function keys, click on the right mouse button. Note the key number that is assigned to the functions you want to run.
    Once you have program name, screen number, field name (screen field name), you can start writing.
    DATA TRANSFER program.
    Declaring internal table
    First Integral Table similar to structure like local file.
    Declaring internal table like BDCDATA
    The data from internal table is not transferred directly to database table, it has to go through transaction. You need to pass data to particular screen and to particular screen-field. Data is passed to transaction in particular format, hence there is a need for batch input structure.
    The batch input structure stores the data that is to be entered into SAP system and the actions that are necessary to process the data. The batch input structure is used by all of the batch input methods. You can use the same structure for all types of batch input, regardless of whether you are creating a session in the batch input queue or using CALL TRANSACTION.
    This structure is BDCDATA, which can contain the batch input data for only a single run of a transaction. The typical processing loop in a program is as follows:
    • Create a BDCDATA structure
    • Write the structure out to a session or process it with CALL TRANSACTION USING; and then
    • Create a BDCDATA structure for the next transaction that is to be processed.
    Within a BDCDATA structure, organize the data of screens in a transaction. Each screen that is processed in the course of a transaction must be identified with a BDCDATA record. This record uses the Program, Dynpro, and Dynbegin fields of the structure.
    The screen identifier record is followed by a separate BDCDATA record for each value, to be entered into a field. These records use the FNAM and FVAL fields of the BDCDATA structure. Values to be entered in a field can be any of the following:
    • Data that is entered into screen fields.
    • Function codes that are entered into the command field. Such function codes execute functions in a transaction, such as Save or Enter.
    The BDCDATA structure contains the following fields:
    • PROGRAM: Name of module pool program associated with the screen. Set this field only for the first record for the screen.
    • DYNPRO: Screen Number. Set this field only in the first record for the screen.
    • DYNBEGIN: Indicates the first record for the screen. Set this field to X, only for the first record for the screen. (Reset to ‘ ‘ (blank) for all other records.)
    • FNAM: Field Name. The FNAM field is not case-sensitive.
    • FVAL: Value for the field named in FNAM. The FVAL field is case-sensitive. Values assigned to this field are always padded on the right, if they are less than 132 characters. Values must be in character format.
    Transferring data from local file to internal table
    Data is uploaded to internal table by UPLOAD of WS_UPLOAD function.
    Population of BDCDATA
    For each record of internal table, you need to populate Internal table, which is similar to BDCDATA structure.
    All these five initial steps are necessary for any type of BDC interface.
    DATA TRANSFER program can call SESSION METHOD or CALL TRANSACTION. The initial steps for both the methods are same.
    First step for both the methods is to upload the data to internal table. From Internal Table, the data is transferred to database table by two ways i.e., Session method and Call transaction.
    SESSION METHOD
    About Session method
    In this method you transfer data from internal table to database table through sessions.
    In this method, an ABAP/4 program reads the external data that is to be entered in the SAP System and stores the data in session. A session stores the actions that are required to enter your data using normal SAP transaction i.e., Data is transferred to session which in turn transfers data to database table.
    Session is intermediate step between internal table and database table. Data along with its action is stored in session i.e., data for screen fields, to which screen it is passed, the program name behind it, and how the next screen is processed.
    When the program has finished generating the session, you can run the session to execute the SAP transactions in it. You can either explicitly start and monitor a session or have the session run in the background processing system.
    Unless session is processed, the data is not transferred to database table.
    BDC_OPEN_GROUP
    You create the session through program by BDC_OPEN_GROUP function.
    Parameters to this function are:
    • User Name: User name
    • Group: Name of the session
    • Lock Date: The date on which you want to process the session.
    • Keep: This parameter is passed as ‘X’ when you want to retain session after
    processing it or ‘ ‘ to delete it after processing.
    BDC_INSERT
    This function creates the session & data is transferred to Session.
    Parameters to this function are:
    • Tcode: Transaction Name
    • Dynprotab: BDC Data
    BDC_CLOSE_GROUP
    This function closes the BDC Group. No Parameters.
    Some additional information for session processing
    When the session is generated using the KEEP option within the BDC_OPEN_GROUP, the system always keeps the sessions in the queue, whether it has been processed successfully or not.
    However, if the session is processed, you have to delete it manually. When session processing is completed successfully while KEEP option was not set, it will be removed automatically from the session queue. Log is not removed for that session.
    If the batch-input session is terminated with errors, then it appears in the list of INCORRECT session and it can be processed again. To correct incorrect session, you can analyze the session. The Analysis function allows to determine which screen and value has produced the error. If you find small errors in data, you can correct them interactively, otherwise you need to modify batch input program, which has generated the session or many times even the data file.
    CALL TRANSACTION
    About CALL TRANSACTION
    A technique similar to SESSION method, while batch input is a two-step procedure, Call Transaction does both steps online, one after the other. In this method, you call a transaction from your program by
    Call transaction <tcode> using <BDCTAB>
    Mode <A/N/E>
    Update <S/A>
    Messages into <MSGTAB>.
    Parameter – 1 is transaction code.
    Parameter – 2 is name of BDCTAB table.
    Parameter – 3 here you are specifying mode in which you execute transaction
    A is all screen mode. All the screen of transaction are displayed.
    N is no screen mode. No screen is displayed when you execute the transaction.
    E is error screen. Only those screens are displayed wherein you have error record.
    Parameter – 4 here you are specifying update type by which database table is updated.
    S is for Synchronous update in which if you change data of one table then all the related Tables gets updated. And sy-subrc is returned i.e., sy-subrc is returned for once and all.
    A is for Asynchronous update. When you change data of one table, the sy-subrc is returned. And then updating of other affected tables takes place. So if system fails to update other tables, still sy-subrc returned is 0 (i.e., when first table gets updated).
    Parameter – 5 when you update database table, operation is either successful or unsuccessful or operation is successful with some warning. These messages are stored in internal table, which you specify along with MESSAGE statement. This internal table should be declared like BDCMSGCOLL, a structure available in ABAP/4. It contains the following fields:
    1. Tcode: Transaction code
    2. Dyname: Batch point module name
    3. Dynumb: Batch input Dyn number
    4. Msgtyp: Batch input message type (A/E/W/I/S)
    5. Msgspra: Batch input Lang, id of message
    6. Msgid: Message id
    7. MsgvN: Message variables (N = 1 - 4)
    For each entry, which is updated in database, table message is available in BDCMSGCOLL. As BDCMSGCOLL is structure, you need to declare a internal table which can contain multiple records (unlike structure).
    Steps for CALL TRANSACTION method
    1. Internal table for the data (structure similar to your local file)
    2. BDCTAB like BDCDATA
    3. UPLOAD or WS_UPLOAD function to upload the data from local file to itab. (Considering file is local file)
    4. Loop at itab.
    Populate BDCTAB table.
    Call transaction <tcode> using <BDCTAB>
    Mode <A/N/E>
    Update <S/A>.
    Refresh BDCTAB.
    Endloop.
    (To populate BDCTAB, You need to transfer each and every field)
    The major differences between Session method and Call transaction are as follows:
    SESSION METHOD CALL TRANSACTION
    1. Data is not updated in database table unless Session is processed. Immediate updation in database table.
    2. No sy-subrc is returned. Sy-subrc is returned.
    3. Error log is created for error records. Errors need to be handled explicitly
    4. Updation in database table is always synchronous Updation in database table can be synchronous Or Asynchronous.
    Error Handling in CALL TRANSACTION
    When Session Method updates the records in database table, error records are stored in the log file. In Call transaction there is no such log file available and error record is lost unless handled. Usually you need to give report of all the error records i.e., records which are not inserted or updated in the database table. This can be done by the following method:
    Steps for the error handling in CALL TRANSACTION
    1. Internal table for the data (structure similar to your local file)
    2. BDCTAB like BDCDATA
    3. Internal table BDCMSG like BDCMSGCOLL
    4. Internal table similar to Ist internal table
    (Third and fourth steps are for error handling)
    5. UPLOAD or WS_UPLOAD function to upload the data from the local file to itab. (Considering file is local file)
    6. Loop at itab.
    Populate BDCTAB table.
    Call transaction <tr.code> using <Bdctab>
    Mode <A/N/E>
    Update <S/A>
    Messages <BDCMSG>.
    Perform check.
    Refresh BDCTAB.
    Endloop.
    7 Form check.
    IF sy-subrc <> 0. (Call transaction returns the sy-subrc if updating is not successful).
    Call function Format_message.
    (This function is called to store the message given by system and to display it along with record)
    Append itab2.
    Display the record and message.
    DIRECT INPUT
    About Direct Input
    In contrast to batch input, this technique does not create sessions, but stores the data directly. It does not simulate the online transaction. To enter the data into the corresponding database tables directly, the system calls a number of function modules that execute any necessary checks. In case of errors, the direct input technique provides a restart mechanism. However, to be able to activate the restart mechanism, direct input programs must be executed in the background only. Direct input checks the data thoroughly and then updates the database directly.
    You can start a Direct Input program in two ways;
    Start the program directly
    This is the quickest way to see if the program works with your flat file. This option is possible with all direct input programs. If the program ends abnormally, you will not have any logs telling you what has or has not been posted. To minimize the chance of this happening, always use the check file option for the first run with your flat file. This allows you to detect format errors before transfer.
    Starting the program via the DI administration transaction
    This transaction restarts the processing, if the data transfer program aborts. Since DI document are immediately posted into the SAP D/B, the restart option prevents the duplicate document posting that occurs during a program restart (i.e., without adjusting your flat file).
    Direct input is usually done for standard data like material master, FI accounting document, SD sales order and Classification for which SAP has provided standard programs.
    First time you work with the Direct Input administration program, you will need to do some preparation before you can transfer data:
    - Create variant
    - Define job
    - Start job
    - Restart job
    Common batch input errors
    - The batch input BDCDATA structure tries to assign values to fields which do not exist in the current transaction screen.
    - The screen in the BDCDATA structure does not match the right sequence, or an intermediate screen is missing.
    - On exceptional occasions, the logic flow of batch input session does not exactly match that of manual online processing. Testing the sessions online can discover by this.
    - The BDCDATA structure contains fields, which are longer than the actual definition.
    - Authorization problems.
    RECORDING A BATCH INPUT
    A B recording allows you to record a R/3 transaction and generate a program that contains all screens and field information in the required BDC-DATA format.
    You can either use SHDB transaction for recording or
    SYSTEM ? SERVICES ? BATCH INPUT ? EDIT
    And from here click recording.
    Enter name for the recording.
    (Dates are optional)
    Click recording.
    Enter transaction code.
    Enter.
    Click Save button.
    You finally come to a screen where, you have all the information for each screen including BDC_OKCODE.
    • Click Get Transaction.
    • Return to BI.
    • Click overview.
    • Position the cursor on the just recorded entry and click generate program.
    • Enter program name.
    • Click enter
    The program is generated for the particular transaction.
    BACKGROUND PROCESSING
    Need for Background processing
    When a large volume of data is involved, usually all batch inputs are done in background.
    The R/3 system includes functions that allow users to work non-interactively or offline. The background processing systems handle these functions.
    Non-interactively means that instead of executing the ABAP/4 programs and waiting for an answer, user can submit those programs for execution at a more convenient planned time.
    There are several reasons to submit programs for background execution.
    • The maximum time allowed for online execution should not exceed 300 seconds. User gets TIMEOUT error and an aborted transaction, if time for execution exceeds 300 seconds. To avoid these types of error, you can submit jobs for background processing.
    • You can use the system while your program is executing.
    This does not mean that interactive or online work is not useful. Both type of processing have their own purposes. Online work is the most common one entering business data, displaying information, printing small reports, managing the system and so on. Background jobs are mainly used for the following tasks; to process large amount of data, to execute periodic jobs without human intervention, to run program at a more convenient, planned time other than during normal working hours i.e., Nights or weekends.
    The transaction for background processing is SM36.
    Or
    Tools ? Administration ? Jobs ? Define jobs
    Or
    System ? services ? Jobs
    Components of the background jobs
    A job in Background processing is a series of steps that can be scheduled and step is a program for background processing.
    • Job name. Define the name of assigned to the job. It identifies the job. You can specify up to 32 characters for the name.
    • Job class. Indicates the type of background processing priority assigned to the job.
    The job class determines the priority of a job. The background system admits three types of job classes: A B & C, which correspond to job priority.
    • Job steps. Parameters to be passed for this screen are as follows:
    Program name.
    Variant if it is report program
    Start criteria for the job: Option available for this are as follows:
    Immediate - allows you to start a job immediately.
    Date/Time - allows you to start a job at a specific name.
    After job - you can start a job after a particular job.
    After event - allows you to start a job after a particular event.
    At operation mode - allows you to start a job when the system switches to a particular operation mode.
    Defining Background jobs
    It is two step process: Firstly, you define the job and then release it.
    When users define a job and save it, they are actually scheduling the report i.e., specifying the job components, the steps, the start time.
    When users schedule program for background processing, they are instructing the system to execute an ABAP/4 report or an external program in the background. Scheduled jobs are not executed until they are released. When jobs are released, they are sent for execution to the background processing system at the specified start time. Both scheduling and releasing of jobs require authorizations.
    HANDLING OF POP UP SCREEN IN BDC
    Many times in transaction pop up screen appears and for this screen you don’t pass any record but some indication to system telling it to proceed further. For example: The following screen
    To handle such screen, system has provided a variable called BDC_CURSOR. You pass this variable to BDCDATA and process the screen.
    Usually such screen appears in many transactions, in this case you are just passing information, that YES you want to save the information, that means YES should be clicked. So you are transferring this information to BDCDATA i.e., field name of YES which is usually SPOT_OPTION. Instead of BDC_OKCODE, you are passing BDC_CURSOR.
    BDC_CURSOR is also used to place cursor on particular field.
    A simple transaction where you are entering customer number on first screen and on next screen data is displayed for the particular customer number. Field, which we are changing here, are name and city. When you click on save, the changed record gets saved.
    Prerequisite to write this BDC interface as indicated earlier is:
    1. To find screen number
    2. To find screen field names, type of the field and length of the field.
    3. To find BDC_OKCODE for each screen
    4. Create flat file.
    generally  Batch Input usually are used to transfer large amount of data. For example you are implementing a new SAP project, and of course you will need some data transfer from legacy system to SAP system.
    CALL TRANSACTION is used especially for integration actions between two SAP systems or between different modules. Users sometimes wish to do something like that click a button or an item then SAP would inserts or changes data automatically. Here CALL TRANSACTION should be considered.
    2. Transfer data for multiple transactions usually the Batch Input method is used.

    what are the best apps to monitor tests and emails on childs phone?

    You could simply log into your child's email with the password that the two of you agree upon, and monitor the emails manually.  As for the texts, you could purchase a separate device, and use the child's Apple ID to monitor the iMessages.  For SMS/MMS, no way to monitor it.  You'll have to use the app called 'Random Parental Inspections'.

  • What is the best way of monitoring HD content in FCP?

    I hope to get the Mac Pro listed below, What is the best way of monitoring my HD edit from FCP?
    Can I output to a HDTV, or is a computer monitor better?
    Do I need a capture card to output the signal, or is my below system adequate? i don't need one for capturing as i have will be using a Panasonic AG-HVX200 with P2 card, Can i use this camera to output to a TV/Monitor?
    Message was edited by: calihal

    Well, given your situation, the best option is the Matrox MXO and Apple Cinema Display. I have a full review here as to why it is a good solution.
    http://library.creativecow.net/articles/ross_shane/MXO.php
    This will cost you $995 for the MXO, and $900 for the Apple display. So under $2k. The other options are more expensive. Broadcast quality HD LCDs start at $3500. And other capture cards range from $295 (decklink Intensity) to $3500 (AJA and Decklink). And HDTV will still require a capture card, like the Intensity with HDMI out, but won't be suitable for broadcast quality. It will, however, be perfectly fine for seeing what your HD footage looks like on an HD set that most people will have in their homes. So I take back my initial statement and say that if you have a tower, the Intensity and HDTV is your best option...if you aren't needing full broadcast quality. If you just need to see what it looks like.

  • What´s the best approach to work with Excel, csv files

    Hi gurus. I got a question for you. According to your experience what's the best approach to work with Excel or csv files that have to be uploaded through DataServices to you datawarehouse.
    Let's say your end-user, who is not a programmer, creates a group of 4 excel files with different calculations in a monthly basis, so they can generate a set of reports from their datawarehouse once the files have been uploaded to tables in your DWH. The calculations vary from month to month. The user doesn't have a front-end to upload the excel files directly to Data Services. The end user needs to keep a track of which person uploaded the files for a determined month.
    1. The end user should place their 4 excel files in a shared directory that will be seen by DataServices.
    2. DataServices will execute certain scheduled job that will read the four files and upload them to the Datawarehouse at a determined time, lets say at 9:00pm.
    It makes me wonder... what happens if the user needs to present their reports immediately so they can´t wait until 9:00pm.  Is it possible for the end user to execute some kind of action (out of the DataServices Environment) so DataServices "could know" that it has to process those files right now, instead of waiting for the night schedule?
    Is there a way that DS will track who was the person who uploaded those files?
    Would it be better to build a front-end for the end user so they can upload their four files directlyto the datawarehouse?
    Waiting for your comments to resolve this dilemma
    Best Regards
    Erika

    Hi,
    There are functions in DS that captures the input files automatically. You could use file_exists() or wait_for_file() option to do that. Schedule the job to run every certain minute and if the file exists then run. This could be done by using a certain file name with date and timestamp etc or after running move the old files to archive and DS wait for new files to show up.

    Hope this helps.
