I too need a way to find out, how to get and parse the protection table using the P4.net DLL. I am trying to run "p4 protects" command using P4.Net DLL. I just need a way to find out which AD Group has access to which branch of perforce tree.
You can use the code
P4Form group = p4.Parse_Form("group", groupString);
groupString is a string argument that will be written filling all the required fields of a group.

I'm trying to generate a random release-name by using the Bamboo Server's deployment project / plan.
I was able to generate a dynamic version number by using variables (defined the bamboo.release_number, bamboo.release_major, etc.)
resulting a release name of "StaticName-1.2"
I would like to define on each release that the StaticName will be generated randomly, based on predefined array or list.
The wanted result is by giving it the list of: ["NameA", "NameB", "NameC"]
Bamboo will generate something else on every run, like:
"NameB-1.3"
"NameC-1.4"
"NameA-1.5"
Any ideas how can I preform such thing?
Generally, you can add a build task to write the release name to a file in the project in the format of KEY=VALUE. You would then add an inject variables task to read that file, adding the variables to the plan. You can then reference that variable when creating the release just as you did for the build number.
The FM EPS2_GET_DIRECTORY_LISTING has a parameter file_mask which I guess that it should act as a pattern. I need to read from the AS the files containing a word but the file_mask is working faultly. For example if I pass "*ZIP" it returns a file named '.TXT'. Is there a proper way to use that parameter?
The parameters are described in SAP note 1860206 which I will not quote here because I'm not sure about the copyright status. However, wildcards generally do not work as expected in this case - your best bet is to read without the parameter and filter the table afterwards.
I had similar problem but due to poor(eg. * wildcard can be used only at the and of the file mask string :/ ) implementation of standard FILE_MASK-based filtering feature in EPS2_GET_DIRECTORY_LISTING I ended up with the solution where I read entire directory content and then process it with regular expressions to find matching files/directories.
My odbc connection string for connecting to DB2i looks like this:
Driver={Client Access ODBC Driver (32-bit)};system=xx.xx.xx.xx;dbq=LIB1 LIB2 LIB3 LIB4 LIB5 LIB6 LIB7 LIB8;languageid=ENU;qrystglmt=-1;cmt=0;signon=1
The above connection string specifies multiple libraries/schemas for use. But when I try to access a file/table from a library other than the first one (like from LIB2...LIB8) I get a exception saying "FILE xx not found in LIB1"
Why does not it automatically search for the file/table in other specified libraries, it searches for the file in the first library only?
I need a workaround for this situation.
Use "system naming" mode, by adding naming=1 to your connection string.
In your library list, place a comma before the first library.
Driver={Client Access ODBC Driver (32-bit)};system=systemname;naming=1;
dbq=,LIB1,LIB2,LIB3,LIB4,LIB5,LIB6,LIB7,LIB8;languageid=ENU;cmt=0;signon=1
This works as documented in the manual:
The library list is used for resolving unqualified stored procedure calls and finding libraries in catalog API calls. ...
Note:
The first library listed in this property will also be the default library, which is used to resolve unqualified names in SQL statements.
As stated above, Schema/library list is used to resolve functions/procedure names, not tables.
Let assume you need to read data from lib1.tab1 and lib2.tab2;
Here my personal workarounds (from easy to complex):
a) ask the db admin to have - for each table you need to use - the corresponding schema name, then do "select * from lib1.tab1 join lib2.tab2 on [...]" ;-)
b) ask the db admin to create on schema "MyAlias" several alias (create alias) for each table you want to use. Then do "set current schema=MyAlias" followed by all the SQL statement you need e.g. "select * from tab1 join tab2". Since you’re querying myalias.tab1 which is an alias pointing to table lib1.tab1 it should work.
c) Complex: create your own SQL function that returns the corresponding schema_name for a table (e.g. myfunct('TAB1'). This could be done reading system view “qsys2.systables” where table_name=’TAB1’ and returning TABLE_SCHEMA column, which is a varchar(128). Once you got it, build up a dynamically prepared using the variable you just obtained. E.g.
"set mylib = myfunct('TAB1').
"set mystmt = 'select * from '||table_schema || ‘.tab1’ …”
Prepare mystmt and then execute mystmt.
I did something similar in VBA using ado ibmdrda and it worked.
hope this helps.

I'm tring to create an SSIS package to import some dataset files, however given that I seem to be hitting a brick
wall everytime I achieve a small part of the task I need to take a step back and perform a sanity check on what I'm
trying to achieve, and if you good people can advise whether SSIS is the way to go about this then I would
appreciate it.
These are my questions from this morning :-
debugging SSIS packages - debug.writeline
Changing an SSIS dts variables
What I'm trying to do is have a For..Each container enumerate over the files in a share on the SQL Server. For each
file it finds a script task runs to check various attributes of the filename, such as looking for a three letter
code, a date in CCYYMM, the name of the data contained therein, and optionally some comments. For example:-
ABC_201007_SalesData_[optional comment goes here].csv
I'm looking to parse the name using a regular expression and put the values of 'ABC', '201007', and
'SalesData' in variables.
I then want to move the file to an error folder if it doesn't meet certain criteria :-
Three character code
Six character date
Dataset name (e.g. SalesData, in this example)
CSV extension
I then want to lookup the Character code, the date (or part thereof), and the Dataset name against a lookup table
to mark off a 'checklist' of received files from each client.
Then, based on the entry in the checklist, I want to kick off another SSIS package.
So, for example I may have a table called 'Checklist' with these columns :-
Client code Dataset SSIS_Package
ABC SalesData NorthSalesData.dtsx
DEF SalesData SouthSalesData.dtsx
If anyone has a better way of achieving this I am interested in hearing about it.
Thanks in advance
That's an interesting scenario, and should be relatively easy to handle.
First, your choice of the Foreach Loop is a good one. You'll be using the Foreach File Enumerator. You can restrict the files you iterate over to be just CSVs so that you don't have to "filter" for those later.
The Foreach File Enumerator puts the filename (full path or just file name) into a variable - let's call that "FileName". There's (at least) two ways you can parse that - expressions or a Script Task. Depends which one you're more comfortable with. Either way, you'll need to create three variables to hold the "parts" of the filename - I'll call them "FileCode", "FileDate", and "FileDataset".
To do this with expressions, you need to set the EvaluateAsExpression property on FileCode, FileDate, and FileDataset to true. Then in the expressions, you need to use FINDSTRING and SUBSTRING to carve up FileName as you see fit. Expressions don't have Regex capability.
To do this in a Script Task, pass the FileName variable in as a ReadOnly variable, and the other three as ReadWrite. You can use the Regex capabilities of .Net, or just manually use IndexOf and Substring to get what you need.
Unfortunately, you have just missed the SQLLunch livemeeting on the ForEach loop: http://www.bidn.com/blogs/BradSchacht/ssis/812/sql-lunch-tomorrow
They are recording the session, however.
I think I saw once that it was possible to use the functionality of windows' search feature(s) in code. That it was possible to search for files using a sql query (something like "select filename from filestore where directory = 'c:\somedir' and extention in ('.doc','.txt','.me') and datemodified >= '2009-01-01 00:00:00'"
Anyway, even if there isn't a way to do it with a query, is there any functionality in the Windows API OR any simple code for doing exactly this type of thing?
It seems such an obvious thing for there not to be an easy way to do it.
I have a function that finds all files in a dir (with subdirs) but it's basically dumb. It can't search with wildcards and it can't search with other criteria such as date newer than a given date.
If possible I don't want to download any 3rd party shareware libraries to do this. I'm using C++ builder in vista, and if there are any vista-only functionality for this then that's ok.
Actually, you can use FindFirstFileEx() to implement your search criteria. Unfortunately, most of the time you have to implement this yourself.. It isn't too hard..
Basically you can check the WIN32_FIND_DATA structure for criteria that you want to search for. For example, if you wanted to find only files with a creation date greater than a certain date, you would check if the WIN32_FIND_DATA structure member ftCreationTime or ftLastWriteTime, depending on your needs..
You can use FindFirstFileEx() to search with wildcards and attributes.
