ZIP file across XI 3.0 ?

Hi,
Is-it possible to send, <u>across XI 3.0</u>, a ZIP file from a NON SAP system to a SAP R/3 system?
If yes... What type of adapter? and How to do it?
Thanks.

Hi,
Can't you convert the file content in the File Adapter into XML as described in the documentation for version 3.0 ?
Kind regards
Colin

Sending Zipped Files Across Sockets

Hi,
In my application, I have to send files across sockets. It's already being done, but I wanted to improve performance.
Currently, we read in the File and send it across however many bytes at a time.
Using java's zip utilities does anyone know of an example or have any ideas about reading the bytes in, compressing them, and then sending them across?
thanks for any help in advance,
Geoff

Here's the server-side code which corresponds to the code I got from you for ClientSide (it has been tweaked to try to get rid of the error).
forgive the lack of indentation (error to follow code)
import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;
import java.util.zip.*;
public class ReceiveData
public static void main(String[] args)
System.out.println("Receive Data");
try
ServerSocket serverSock = new ServerSocket(1400);
Socket sock = null;
while(true)
System.out.println("before accept");
sock=serverSock.accept();
System.out.println("after accept");
FileOutputStream fileOut = new FileOutputStream("d:\\javatests\\CompressTest\\test2.txt");
byte[] buffer = new byte[4092];
DataInputStream is = new DataInputStream(new GZIPInputStream(sock.getInputStream()));
int totalBytes = 0;
int bytesRead = is.read(buffer);
totalBytes += bytesRead;
while(bytesRead !=-1)
System.out.println("inside loop");
     fileOut.write(buffer, 0, bytesRead);
     bytesRead = is.read(buffer);
     totalBytes += bytesRead;
fileOut.flush();
fileOut.close();
is.close();
System.out.println("totalBytes: " + totalBytes);
catch(Exception e)
e.printStackTrace();
produces this error:
java.net.SocketException: Connection reset
     at java.net.SocketInputStream.read(SocketInputStream.java:168)
     at java.util.zip.InflaterInputStream.fill(InflaterInputStream.java:213)

     at java.io.DataInputStream.read(DataInputStream.java:113)
     at ReceiveData.main(ReceiveData.java:45)
and line 45 corresponds to the following line:
int bytesRead = is.read(buffer); (the one before the while loop)
thanks again to all,

Sync files across the Managed Server.

We have exploded war deployed in the Weblogic Cluster and in this there is a feature which would create a zip file in the exploded folder and this zip file will be downloaded through the URL. Now the problem in clustered environment is when the application write the zip file which will be available in only one of the managed server and when we try to download the zip file through the LoadBalancer URL it may not hit the same Managed Server in which the zip file is available.
Is there a way in weblogic cluster to sync the files across all the managed server so that we can access the file through loadbalancer.

Hi Suresh
1. Your issue has nothing to do with the cluster setup and the way you deploy the application (as EAR or Exploded). Basically in your application, you generate a file and automatically that gets stored in that machines location. Now when you access it from a load balancer, the request may go to other machine and naturally it will not find the file there. There is nothing in the cluster setup or something that can copy the files and replicate acorss the machines. Infact that will be way too complex. I will couple of solutions.
2. Create a shared folder like public folder. Say in Windows, create a folder with some folder structure and map it as say X: Drive. now this X Drive can be accessed from any other machine like Machine1, Machine2 (after setting the sharing properties). First try directly from Windows Explorer itself. Now within your application, when you generate and store the file, refer this X: Drive with full path. You can make it more flexible by using a .properties file that has key value pair. Key is like FILE_LOCATION and value can be like X:\a\b\c. Now using simple Java Properties class API to load the contents from this file. You can add all the constants, check for if .properties file exist like that. Once you have all the properties loaded, then refer this key, to get its value and use that to store the file generated. Use the same approach, while retrieving the file also. Use the key to get the location and then look for the file you want to download. This should work, when the request goes to any managed server in the cluster. I used it. I created a utility class like MyAppPropertiesLoader, with some static methods, that reads the file only once, if it is null, and then get values using simle methods like getString(String aKey), getLong(String aKey) etc. The huge BENEFIT of this is, once you deploy the application say in Unix, natually, the shared location has to be one of the unix boxes. Then just mount this location on both the managed servers (mount is similar to mapping a drive in Windows OS). Also the location of the files can be changed anytime in the properties file. Say in QC, the location may be X:\a\b\c\qc. But for UAT on Unix it can be like /x/y/z/uat/. Now this .properties file can exist directly under the Domain root folder so you can access it directly without any path in your java code. You can also use System properties like user.home etc. Make sure to copy this .properties file on both the domains. The original master domain. And the psueduo domain that is generated when you run the unpack command if you have managed server in another machine.
3. This is much simpler but kind of not recommended. Simply, create a simple table with few header columns and one BLOB/CLOB column. Store the file in this database table and retrieve from it. This means you will have JDBC code, and the code to create clob to store and generate file from clob for retrieval.
My preference is the first option given above. Getting tools to copy files may be complex. Its not like syncing the data across but its the files that needs to be copied across the machines.

How do you use zip files?

Hello all,
I have always stayed away from ZIP files (as in doing it myself, to my own files), since my days in Windows, after all the countless corrupt ZIP files I received from others, that simply would not UNzip...
But recently I've come across references to them again, and I realised I might be missing a trick or two....
Any comments on the following would be appreciated:
1.) What can I use them for?
As in - could I ZIP my entire folder of holiday pictures - all 13GB's of them?
Or is there some sort of size limit, where anything over, and things become problematic?
Are some file types Zipped better than others?
2.) How does it actually work?
As in - what happens to my original files?
Assume the holiday pics are Zipped - do the orginals get compressed, or can I select it so that copies are Zipped, as a kind of backup?
3.) How safe is it?
As in - assuming my hardware and software are all OK, nothing buggy etc. - if I create the ZIP file, pop it somewhere on a USB/External/the same laptop, and then Unzip it later, when I need them again - am I correct in assuming that the chances of the file being corrupted, are relatively slim?
And coming back to those holiday pics - could the compression process result in a loss in picture quality/resolution, were I to then unzip the file? Or - assuming everything works as planned - will the quality of the pictures/file emerge exactly the same as they were prior to being compressed?
I realise all of the above are ridiculously simple questions - but googling this doesn't really help, as most sites simply explain the how to, not the WHY...
The WHY articles were probably all written 15 years ago already... I'm just very, very far behind....
Thanks in advance!

Zipping an image file should have no effect on image quality, as the image data is not actually changed.
Note that there's very little point in zipping a folder full of images, unless the images are not a compressed file type. You can't compress data that is already compressed - in fact, trying to do so often increases the file size - and JPEG images, for example, are already compressed.
For the most part, you don't need to use zip at all. I absolutely DO NOT recommend storing your files and/or folders on the hard drive in compressed form as a space-saving measure. It doesn't save enough space to be worth the time needed to compress files large enough to warrant it on a modern drive. Accessing zipped files is a pain, too, since you basically have to decompress the whole thing in order to access a file inside a zip file.
Zip becomes useful if you need to attach a large number of files to an e-mail message (zip the files, then attach the single zip file) or want to create an archive of multiple files to download from a web site through a single link. In other words, in situations where you need to transmit many files over the internet, especially where Windows users may be involved, zipping files can be either important or a convenience.

Messages with zip files or multiple attachments are not being delivered

Has anyone else come across this? I've discovered that files sent from my .mac account are not being delivered if they contain zip files or multiple attachment. A single .docx file goes through, but multiple doc files or a single zip file do not.
I get no error message, and neither does the recipient. The message sends on my end but simply doesn't show up on their end.
Any thoughts on what might be causing this?

Another follow-up: Now, for whatever reason, even attachments of a single document aren't going through.
Again, I'm receiving no error message, and it shows up in my sent folder. It just never makes it to the recipient.
This is very frustrating, and makes my iCloud mail account all but useless. Does anyone have any idea at all what might be happening?

How to read/unzip a specific file within a zip file

Hi,
I have a file within a zip file that contains a timestamp - I want to read this timestamp and then create a destination directory for the remaining zip files to be unzipped into. Since I know the name of the file with the timestamp in it I thought I could create a zipfile and use getEntry to get the entry but then other than getting the size and name of the file I can't do much more with it like read it unless I use a stream (zipinputstream) instead of a file (zipfile) - do I have this right?
Does this mean to get the content I would have to loop through possibly all the files using the stream until I come across the one I want - then get the timestamp and loop through them all again to write them to the destination directory? Or am I reading this wrong - seems a bit round about.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

this works though - and you don't have to loop through all the files - just use the ZipFile:
ZipEntry ze = zipfile.getEntry("path/to/file");
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(zf.getInputStream(ze)));
line = br.readLine;Thanks!

Problems creating/extracting ZIP files, anyone?

Greetings,
I am having some odd bugs with OSX in creating and extracting ZIP files. I’m curious if anyone else has run across this or if anyone has any remedies to suggest.
The issue is that when I extract a ZIP archive, the extracted files have their creation dates and modification dates changed from the original versions. For example, I have a directory created in 2010 and all the files were created and last modified in 2010. However, when I ZIP the directory and re-extract it, many of the file dates change. Some files have the creation dates changed so to match the last modified date. In other cases, both the creation date and modification date are changed to something later than both, perhaps the date the directory was ZIPed or the date the directory was extracted. And some files don’t seem to have the dates changed.
I have tried various options, such as terminal, and third party programs (BetterZip, Keka, Stuffit, & Archiver to name a few) and they all seem to have some variation of this behavior. I have tried creating the Zip with one program and extracting with the other, and still this behavior persists. Different files seem to be affected with each combination of creating and extracting programs.
Another odd behavior was that I tried password protecting some directories with financial data, and OSX could create the ZIP file with the password, but OSX could not unzip the file with the password it created for some files. In every case, third party program could unzip the files with the password created in the terminal command. This seem to happen inconsistently.
I have tried creating a dummy account and tested it in that account, with similar results.
I’ve read the man page for the command line version of ZIP to see if there is some -option to preserve dates, but found nothing. The typical command looks like this:
> zip -er filename.zip sourceDir
> unzip filename.zip
File types include directories, PDFs, Text docs, Quicken files. Ive tested other directories too with other file types. It doesn’t seem to affect every file, but seems unpredictable. Luckily, I still have the original uncompressed version of most directories. But I really want to archive some directories and unarchive them when needed. The dates matter to me because they are mostly financial files and I use the dates to know what versions were used for taxes and other things. Also, if dates change, then backup programs start replacing the good backups with files with the corrupted dates.
I’d appreciate any suggestions or feedback. I there some bug in the ZIP protocol? Is there some bug in OSX file system that is corrupting the dates with the archive and unarchive process?
Thank you for any suggestions-
OSX 10.9.5,

OK, sorry did not read it correctly. Read the first sentance and quit.
No, Bridge is just a browser. You can extract more than one file at a time in Win. Explorer. You have to do them individually, but can run multiple extractions at the same time.
There are other zip/unzip programs out there. I know the the CS6 beta a number of users could not open it with WinZip and used alternate product just fine.

Library that will let one create a password protected zip file

Hello All, In my last post, I was not clear, in the explanation of my requirement so that could be a reason for no replies
I wanted to know whether there are any Java libraries that I can use to create a password protected zip file which will be recognized by WINZIP
Will hope to hear back .
Thanks again

Thanks for the mail and information. So, from my
understanding, there are no Java libraries thatare
free that will let you create a password protected
zip file that WINZIP recognises.
Please let me know.
ThanksThere might be free Java APIs that could do that. I
just stated that I have not come across any. You can
google and see if you can find any free APIs.
The other way to do it is to write your own code for
password protecting the zip files created by
java.util.zip. A more time consuming solution but a
solution nonetheless. But with this solution you
would run into the problem of compatibility with
winzip.
Another solution would be to see if you can dig out
some command based zip utility (I am not sure if
there is one available for Windows but gzip comes to
mind on Unix based systems) and use Runtime.exce()
from your java source code to execute that command.
I am not aware of any other solution. Hope this helps.thanks again for the reply.
Can you throw more light on this statement
"Another solution would be to see if you can dig out some command based zip utility (I am not sure if there is one available for Windows but gzip comes to mind on Unix based systems) and use Runtime.exce() from your java source code to execute that command."
regarding the command based zip utility, does this provide a password protected zip file, so that winzip will understand and encode it?.
Please let me know.
Thanks

Unable to unarchive ZIP file Error - 1

Every time I try to archive a ZIP file, i get the message "Unable to archive (Error - 1)" How can I fix this?

I have to agree, the most likely scenario is a bad file. As I mentioned earlier, I don't think there are any Mac utilities for attempting a repair. "Repair" is somewhat vague. If a file is bad it is missing data, and likely this data is critical to the running of the file. If you could repair this file (say, on a PC) you still might end up with a corrupt movie file which might refuse to play. Even if the movie plays it might end early or something.
Could this possibly be part of a multi-part archive set? The file extension is totally wrong for that but the "05" suggest more than one of something.
I have also read there are some obscure utilities that do flavors of zip that can't be opened on Macs.

I can't update Fiefox since update 10.o1 or 10.02. Every time I try to I get the same message, "7 - ZIP File is missing" I don't know how or where to correct this problem. I'd really appreciate any help that corrects this problem. Thanks sovery much,

Missing "7-Zip File"
Hello,
I haven't been able to update Firefox since 10.01 or 10.02 because every time I try I get the same message the "7-ZIP File" is missing. Then the update fails. I've submitted this problem to Mozilla Firefox and, got an immediate reply of " they are researching your problem".
Well, you can tell how long that has been. Is there anything I can do, or any where I can go to get the file I need?
Any constructive help would be very much appreciated! I'm not sure If I'll ever be able to find where this is located. But I do appreciate help just the same.

It is possible that your anti-virus software is corrupting the downloaded files or otherwise interfering with downloading files by Firefox.<br />
Disable your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes installing work.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.

Error reading zip file containing an excel file

Hi all,
Using servlets I am able to zip an excel file using java.util.zip package. The excel file is created using POI API.
While I save and extract the zip file on my machine and then open the file in MS Excel. Excel pops a message saying "MS Office Excel has encountered a problem and need to close" and it gives me an option to "Recover my work and restart MS Office Excel". I select the option and then MS Excel does a document recovery and I am able to view my data. I get an excel repair log file saying as follows
"Microsoft Office Excel File Repair Log
Errors were detected in file 'C:\Documents and Settings\JohnDoe\Desktop\excel\test.xls'
The following is a list of repairs:

Jdcunha,
I am new to the field but encountered the same problem and recently found a solution. Hope this helps.
For my project I wanted to create individual Excel 2003 workbooks for each file I created. Excel would give me the same error it gave you when I used the same HSSFWorkbook object. I tried creating a new Workbook object each time, but ran into the same issue.
I ended up fixing the error by creating a new instance of my write-to-excel class each time I wanted to create a new workbook, instead of just recreating a new HSSFWorkbook object. It works perfectly and the Excel errors don't show. It may also be important to note I used OutputStream, I did not try it with printwriter.
