Windows file association for RDF file type to open in Reports Builder 11g

Does anyone know how to create a Windows file assocaition to open a reports RDF binary file in Reports Builder 11g? We're running FMW 11.1.2 64bit on Windows 7 64 bit.
Thanks

Hi InoL
Thanks for your reply.
Would this work with Reports 11g? rwbuilder.exe seems to require being called via rwbuilder.bat in 11g.
Kind Regards

  • How do I reset the default file association for .bat files on Windows 8.1?

    Windows 8.1 allows the user to change the file association for .bat files. I made the mistake of using this facility to change the default file association for .bat files to Notepad++. Now when I attempt to run a .bat file, the script for the .bat
    comes up in Notepad++, instead of its being run as an executable file!  All my .bat files are now useless. I tried finding a way to change this back to the original executable setting, including deleting Notepad++ from my system, but nothing
    has worked. 
    There are discussions that I found on the Internet about this problem, and the solutions to which I was led have not worked either. Most of the solutions apply to Windows 7 or Vista, but not to Windows 8. There are a few solutions that purport to apply to Windows
    8 and 8.1, but they do not work for me.  
    (Disconcertingly, some of the solutions presented for the problem that apply to Vista or Windows 7 and are dated as early as 2009, so this problem has apparently been around for some time, but Microsoft still keeps .bat files on the Control Panel facility that
    enables the change to be made. I cannot see why, but there it remains.)
    Can someone please help me change this file association back to the original setting for Windows 8.1? Remember, most if now all the links that address this issue are focused on Windows 7. I need an answer that has been tried and proven to apply to Windows 8.1.
    Nothing I have tried works.

    Hi,
    For the issue, we can restore Default File Extension Type Associations through adding the registry entries.
    1. Download the .reg file from the following link.
    http://www.eightforums.com/attachments/tutorials/8025d1345781188-default-file-associations-restore-windows-8-bat.reg
    Note: Microsoft provides third-party contact information to help you find technical support. This contact information may change without notice. Microsoft does not guarantee the accuracy of this third-party contact information.
    2. Save the .reg file to your desktop.
    3. Double click on the downloaded .reg file to Merge it.
    4. If prompted, click on Run, Yes (UAC), Yes, and OK to approve the merge.
    5. Sign out and in, or restart the computer to apply.
    6. If you are logged in as a standard user and this still does not help, then have the administrator also merge the needed .reg file for the listed file extension or protocol below while logged into their administrator account.
    Hope this helps.

  • No file association for PDF files

    I have installed Adobe Reader on my Nokia E70 (Series 60 3rd edition). I am able to open PDF files, provided they are very small ;-) directly from within Adobe Reader, but not via File Manager. Does anyone know how to set the file association of .PDF extension to open with Adobe Reader?
    Cheers
    -- Mike --

    >It worked for me but the solution was not an intuitive one. Seems like Adobe should work out this kink for future customers.
    The fact that you had a problem suggests that it's your system, not Adobe that is the root cause. A successful and undamaged installation WILL create the proper file associations, and will even use the correct version icon for older files (in Windows, though, only one version of the application -- the last one installed -- will be associated with the open command from Explorer or Bridge).

  • File association for .rexx files

    Hi all,
    This will be my first post here. I've searched the web (and this forum) for an answer to my question, but have up untill now not been able to find it.
    I have installed Regina Rexx, cuz I want to use that language as my command language. I've used it professionally for years in an IBM mainframe environment and at home on my Linux and Micro$oft machines.
    Now I have it installed, and it works. Running rexxpcs gives me a whoppin' 8.462.623 executed clauses per second!
    Gerard-iMac:~ gerard$ rexx /usr/share/regina/rexxcps.rexx
    ----- REXXCPS 2.2 -- Measuring REXX clauses/second -----
    REXX version is: REXX-Regina_3.5 5.00 31 Dec 2009
           System is: UNIX
           Averaging: 10 measures of 30 iterations
           Performance: 8462623 REXX clauses per second
    Now I would like to be able to start my xxxxxx.rexx files from within the finder. When I right click on such a file and open it's info pane - this is what every page on the subject suggests - I seem not to be able to allocate /usr/bin/rexx with my file(s).
    Questions:
    1. How do I proceed?
    2. Why (if not) does it not work this way?
    Bear in mind that, however I consider myself computer literate, I am relatively new to the Apple domain...
    Thanks in advance,
    Gerard

    Ok, I thought that's what you were trying to do but I just needed to be sure.
    Since these kind of files are rexx interpreter files they are not applications and therefore cannot be directly executed from the finder.  And while you could get them to open in terminal the terminal has no way of knowing you want to use rexx on them.  So you need to encapulate (wrap) them to make them look like they are finder applications.
    There are a number of shell command excapulators/wrappers.  One of my favorites is Platypus.   You can download it from macupdate.  Click that macupdate link because it suggests other shell wrappers than you may prefer as alternatives.  I'm mentioning this because if the shell commands generates any output (stdout, stderr) then not all of these wrappers handle output.  I haven't looked at Platypus for some time so I don't recall if it does or doesn't.  Maybe some of the alternatives do.
    If the command doesn't generate any stdout/stderr output then Platypus (and many of the others) should work ok.  The end result is what looks like a normal finder application that you can execute.
    Oh, almost forgot.  You could also encapsulate the shell commands using applescript.

  • File Associations for all users

    How does one go about changing file associations for file types for all users? I've recently installed iWork '08 on a computer on the network and now when I log in as a user it wants to open all of my Excel and Word Documents in Numbers and Pages respectively. How can I get it to default back to Microsoft Office for all of my Microsoft Office documents for all users. The iWork '08 install seemed to just take over, so it must be possible.
    Thanks!

    I too need this information, but seeing it's been over a year and no one replied to the thread starter.....

  • Sharepoint Online - File Associations - Create association for .sql files in SPO365

    I maintain a document library as a script repository with .sql scripts.  we refer to these often for operational processes.  
    unfortunately, we are currently only given the option to download these files from SharePoint Online.   
    Is it possible to create an association in SharePoint Online to have these files preview as text or to at least open them in SSMS or Notepad. 
    caveat =  we dont want to change the default OS association for these files.  SSMS is fine for the desktop, but in SPO365 a text viewer would be ideal as it would most easlily facilitate a copy and paste. 
    Thanks

    Hi,
    According to your description, when you removed the Read List and Read Item operations and created them back based off of the view and recreated the external list, you saw all the columns you wanted.
    Then you can modify view to choose the columns which you want to display.
    The issue is, now the item picker and other operations that did not change seem to be going off of the view.
    Do you mean that when you add/edit the item, it still displays the foreign key column in the list view?

  • Changing file associations for Stuffit

    Soooo, I tried opening a BIN file using Stuffit Expander (well, indirectly using it by opening the file from Firefox), but because the VLC Media Player has changed the file associations so that by default it opens them, I can't open it (and for the record, the BIN file in question is the install file for AIM, direct from the AIM website...I'm downloading it as a backup for file transfers). Because Stuffit seems to be integrated within the kernel (as opposed to being a separate program), I can't go about changing the file associations the normal way. Is there a way for me to do it without uninstalling VLC?

    Stuffit Expander is a separate program. You can get it here.

  • I am having trouble establishing file association between .PDF files and Adobe Reader.

    I am having trouble establishing file association between .PDF files and Adobe Reader.  When I click on a .PDF file, Adobe Reader does not open the file.  I installed Adobe Reader on a Lenovo G480 laptop using Windows 8.  When I attempted to open a file called I believe G480_user_guide.PDF, a file called something like Nitro_PDF opened.  When I right clicked G480_user_guide.PDF and chose Open With, I found that Nitro_PDF was the default program for opening the file.  I tried to change to another program but found that Adobe Reader was not listed.  I chose the option for searching the computer for a file to open.  I found the folder Adobe in Program Files x64 but I was not able to find an executable.  Where is the Adobe Reader executable or what other method can I use for establishing file association between .PDF files and Adobe Reader.

    Yes, I have now learned how to make a search with the Google search engine.  I am gradually learning how to use my new Lenovo laptop computer with Windows 8.  I learned yesterday that I can make a search with the Google search engine if I enter the search query in the address bar of the Google Chrome browser.  I think it was the Bing search engine that gave me the sites advertising Adobe Reader download but actually provided the download of a reader other than Adobe.
    In my opinion, Windows 8 is significantly different from Windows 7 and that it has hazards and pitfalls.
    I thank all of those who have replied to the initial inquiry.

  • How to create a file object for a file on Remote Server? UNIX

    Hi all,
    I am working on two servers A and B. BOTH ARE UNIX MACHINES. My java class exist on server A and executes on same server. The file that I need to process resides on server B. (Lets call it test.txt in MYTEST directory. So path will be /MYTEST/test.txt on server B) I need to do few things before I can process it:
    1) Check if file exist
    2) If it does FTP it to Server A. (I already know how to.)
    For both of these tasks, I need a File object for that file.
    My problem is that I am unable to set it up.
    \\B\MYTEST\test.txt will not work on UNIX. I already tried that. (It only works on Windows)
    I tried:
    /B/MYTEST/test.txt ---- Does not work
    B:/MYTEST/test.txt ---- Does not work
    :B/MYTEST/test.txt ---- Does not work
    B:MYTEST/test.txt ---- Does not work
    All of these instances say the same thing: "File does not exist."
    Any ideas? Please help!!!

    I by no means want to sound belittling... so don't take me that way..
    You need to understand the basics of files, and networks. You can't check if a file exists on another machine if you don't have a network protocol to communicate with. The reason \\ works under windows is because you are using an invisible (to you) network protocol. You probably know it as windows sharing. If your file were not shared under it's own name, that method wouldn't work (I'm assuming your entire drive is shared without a password... a horrible security flaw...but one thing at a time)
    You can use FTP protocol to check if a file exists. You can either send the raw text FTP commands through a socket connection in java, or you can use a freely available FTP java API to make it a bit more simple. You could also write a small java server on the other machine, and have it tell you what you need to know with a socket connection. In this way, you have created your very own network protocol.

  • Error could not find file/pathurl for id file::QTMRead

    Hi,
    I'm very puzzled as to this error I have gotten on multiple projects when trying to check back out.
    Error could not find file/pathurl for id file::QTMRead
    I'm halfway through a project with a deadline of next week, and have been using edit proxies, so am just worried about being able to export the final project if the Server cannot find the file.
    It seems to get this error after a glitchy upload where the server locks up and I have to force quit. Has anyone had this message before/have any ideas how to solve it?
    Some speedy help would be very much appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Dania

    You need to make sure that you imported the Reports.xml file into the FDM application. Also, you will want to login to the application using the workbench client and click on the Reports tab and expand the English > Check Reports and right-click on the check report and choose "Set as Validation Report".

  • Omit the Open Hub control file 'S_*' for flat file extracts

    Hi Folks,
    a quick question is it somehow possible to omit the control file generation for flat file extracts.
    We got some unix scripts running that get confused by the S_* files and we where wondering if we can switch the creation of those files off.
    Thanks and best regards,
    Axel

    Hi,
    However, the S_ (structure) file does not reflect the proper structure. The S_ file lists all fields sorted in alphabetical order based on the field name, instead of listing all fields in the correct order that they appear in the output file.
    As I know and checked this is not the case. The S_ file has the fields in the order of infospoke object sequence ( and in transformation tab, source structure).
    I would suggest you to control it again.

  • :-)  How can we change the default file path for Bank file ( dmee ) ?

    Hi All,
    We encounter a problem.
    Electronic bank file ( created after a F110 run ) are created, in an automatic way to the DIR_TEMP directory. ( On the SAP server )
    How can we change the default file path for Bank files ( dmee ) ?
    We'd like to specify another path.
    Thx for your help.
    Erwan

    Hello,
    Make sure that you have created the directory in transaction code AL11 with the help of basis consultants.
    You can link your PC directory to the application server.
    You can maintain the path whether your file needs to get saved in OBPM4 against your DMEE structure example GB_BACS etc.
    If you do not maintain any path in OBPM4, then the file gets saved to temporary directory. If you give the directory path name in OBPM4, then the file gets saved to that directory with numbers 0001, 0002, 0003 etc till it reaches 9999 and reset from the beginning.
    If you give the path as well as file name as ABCD, then the file gets generated to that directory folder with ABCD0001, ABCD0002, ABCD0003 etc. till it reaches ABCD9999 and reset from the beginning.
    Hope this solves your problem.
    Regards,
    Ravi

  • What determines the file encoding for ${C:file.txt} = 'abc' ?

    What determines the file encoding for  
    ${C:file.txt} = 'abc'
    I'm always getting ASCII as the encoding for file.txt after executing that assignment.

    Thanks so much.   I'll keep looking for the MSFT doc on this.  I scanned Bruce Payette's book and did not find anything there.   
    It turns out to be one of those "by rote" things you have to learn about PowerShell.
    My concern about the lack of documentation is that MSFT might change the underlying code in the future to use Unicode and that might break some existing code.  If there was some MSFT provided documentation declaring ASCII as the intended encoding they
    might provide plenty of warning if they do a switch in encoding.
    I note also that if you try to write characters outside the ASCII set (see example below) that character substitution happens to find an ASCII character to use in place of the one outside the ASCII set.  In the example below a 'v' is substituted for
    the '√' character:
    ${C:xo.txt} = '√'

  • Report Builder 11g on Windows 7(64bit)?

    Hi Oracle Guys
    I know that Report Builder 11g is not certified on Windows 7 (64Bit)
    Knows someone if release 2 it is planned ?
    Or knows someone for when the releases 2 or a patch is planned?
    We want to install next year new Developer-Clients and we want to know if Windows 7 64bit is an “no go”
    thx
    Alfred
    Edited by: alinzenb on 16.08.2010 15:47

    I use the 11g Reports Builder on 64bit Windows 7.
    It works fine except that it doesn't like the Aero interface. Windows automatically switches to basic mode when you're running the builder.
    If you're ok with that then you shouldn't have any problems.
    Cheers,
    Toby.
