XCOPY /d problem

My code is as follows:

XCOPY "C:\users\my documents" c:\sourcedirectory\*.* / d

This is supposed to copy only newer files 'sourcedirectory' to 'my documents '.

As a result, it copies all the files.  Does repeatedly, whenever I run the script.  It didn't happen in Windows XP, but it does in Windows 7.  Specifications for XCOPY in Windows 7, say that it should not be the case.  Both systems to get their setting of the internet era, and the time are exactly the same, as far as I can measure.  The two systems are in summer time.

What gives?

Robocopy \\elise\tb2\MotionGfiles 'c:\Users\wrd\My Documents' *.g/FFT /XX

Why access is denied?  The destination directory is my "My Documents" folder.  I don't have access to it.

xcopy is not obsolete.

I think I mentioned previously that the name of the "My Documents" folder is a junction point that exists for legacy applications. You must use the correct name, "users."

You must also add the / r: 1 w:1 of switches to prevent hanging robocopy.

  • XCopy deployment

    I have a PropertyEditor in my form. When I deploy my Application by XCopy is missing something, because Te Editor for the ScaleArc of a template is not displayed anymore.

    Hello Gerald,

    Actually, after further review, it is a bit a hole in XCOPY documentation, specifically for the property editor.  You will also need to deploy the NationalInstruments.UI.Design assembly, which lies only in the GAC.  Get all of the design of the GAC is to simply browse to it from the command line (c:\windows\assembly\GAC_32\NationalInstruments.UI.Design\) and use the command copy to copy locally.  Make sure that the versions of NationalInstruments.UI and NationalInstruments.UI.Design match.

  • Batch file xcopy creating cyclical error

    Hi all

    I have a little problem here when creating a piece of simple code for a batch file important that I write. Maybe its a PEBKAC issue because I worked at it for too long...

    Because it is big enough, I like to create Variables that you can centrally manage twist as and as needs to be. The xcopy command will work very well on its own with the paths specified model, but when I run it with the variables, it gives me various errors. I tried in vain below:

    Example 1:

    off @echo

    CD.

    CLS

    SET O_PATH = %SystemDrive%\OLDPATH\*.*
    SET N_PATH = %SystemDrive%\NEWPATH\

    These are very strange questions. When I use the Installer version, everything is ok.  Does he know what should I do?  Any suggestion is of great help for me. Thank you.

    In my view, that the cause of this problem is the Oracle xcopy installation directory has not been added to the PATH of the Windows System. This is described in step 4 of the installation of the xcopy README instructions.

    ====================

    4. Add the installation directory and install the subdirectory bin of the directory to the PATH environment variable before any other Oracle Directory. Otherwise, the products that are installed may not work properly because it will not be able to load the necessary dll. for example, if c:\oracle has been provided in the installation directory, add c:\oracle and c:\oracle\bin to the system path.

  • By aligning disk problems

    I have Windows 2003 servers with misaligned discs. I'm following the procedures in this article to VMware.

    http://www.VMware.com/PDF/esx3_partition_align.PDF

    Basically

    Add new drive to VM
    diskpart select volume 2 create partition primary align=64 exit Go to Disk Management rt. click volume > format allocation size = 32k

    At this point, I have the existing D: drive and the newly formatted volume.
    This is a SQL server, so I shut down SQL services, change the drive letter of D: to F:.
    Then give the new volume a drive letter of D: and remove the old drive from the VM.
    I restart and I can't get SQL to start.
    The error in the logs is

    FCB::Open: Operating system error 5(Access is denied.) occurred while creating or opening file 'd:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\DATA\mastlog.ldf'. Diagnose and correct the operating system error, and retry the operation.

     

    Is this the correct procedure, or am I missing something?

     

    Thanks,

    Scott

     




    Hello.

    This procedure is correct, and this error is certainly a permissions problem.  How you will be copied on?  You might want to try xcopy or robocopy, because they have switches that will have the ACL with the copy.  That, or compare the old drive/directory with a new one, before you delete it.

    Good luck!

  • Problem creating ePub

    Hello

    I'm having issues creating an ePub using RoboHelp 9. I followed all the instructions provided with aid, including to define an XML output and to define a table of contents. However, whenever I generate the ePub, I get a warning message that the "Table of contents are missing", but when I close another message saying "Script executed successfully! Then when he opens the ePub in the drive by default (FBReader), it only shows the master page of the project. I tried to run it about 50 times, always with the same results. In the XML output Options dialog box, I tried both "Export project to XHTML" and "Export project to DocBook" as a Manager with no luck. They are 'Apply to all' is selected or not makes no difference, I get the same result.

    Anyone have any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong?

    Hello

    I just wanted to share this information with all users, issue faced by Chrissy ePub generation was due to a problem of parameters in its operating system.

    text of EPUB is based on the output XML SSL and XML did not work on his exit machine. Output XML use the xcopy command to copy certain subjects, and c:\windows\system32 on his machine was not part of the Path environment variable. and where generating XML output has been in error that xcopy is not a valid command and so the XML output was not generating TOC file and so the table of contents file missing in the script generation error ePub.

    The solution was to add c:\windows\system32 in the path variable, close robohelp and open it again and everything started to work very well.

    hope this will help other users.

  • MacBook Pro display problem

    Hello members of the community.

    As of recently, I have noticed some glitches when feeding on my MacBook or awakened from his sleep.

    The colors are distorted, usually with pink, green, or yellow blobs. Blobs cannot entirely replace the colors, they appear to be contained in a element would normally be. For example. the menu bar will be partially pink and white, but pink does not leave the menu bar in this area, and the Office has green lines on it.

    I tried to take a screenshot, but the problem resolves in about 20 seconds, but it's a recurring problem.

    It happens when I wake up, connection or not. I had also certain powers serious and problems of performance, such that my MagSafe LED would not illuminate when plugged on rare occasions, fan could turn unnecessarily, graphics performance were SUPER slow, and the health of my battery was running out quickly. I actually ran a report on the system at 2 different times and my quality of full load is depleting of 1.2% per charge cycle, which is very worrying. I went from 6281 mAh mAh 6138 maximum capacity after two cycles of load. I'm tracking closely it because at this rate, my battery will survive only at load cycles about 150 instead of the 1000 expected, gives me the idea that this could very well be a bad battery. The computer is also warm to the touch while you sleep, not connected to the power supply. I NAP active but even taking into account should not be hotter my iPhone did the same thing.

    I have reset the SMC, and it solved a couple of problems. The charger works fine now and my performance improved considerably (which made me feel better, either it is a high-performance laptop, a 11-inch MacBook Air should not he surpass), and battery life has improved. I feel even if it uses a lot of power in his sleep. Maybe I need to turn off the NAP and see if that makes a difference. The graphic bug still persists however, and I don't have enough time to see if the max battery is depleting again.

    In regards to the bug, is there something that can be done? Basically, I want to assure you that I took all appropriate measures or if someone else has this problem to see if it can be software related instead of my computer.

    I have the entry level MacBook Pro with the retina, last generation.

    Any constructive contribution welcome!

  • with IOS 10.0.2 - 5s iphone Bluetooth problems

    Since upgrading ISO 10.0.2 my M50 from PLT Plantronics (helmet unique headset) do not reliably connects with my iPhone 5 more. I have to go to the settings, activate bluetooth turned off/turned on, touch the device on the bluetooth page, etc. Once it connects successfully, it will reconnect (if I turn off the headset and turn it back on) for a short period. The next day he does not connect itself but I play with bluetooth on the iPhone again.

    It has always worked perfectly before the 10th of IOS.

    And, as I noticed others mentioning, the volume is much lower with IOS 10. The maximum volume is much lower. I can barely hear it now, more normal background noise, while driving.

    I did:

    Forget this device for the PLT M50 and paired again (several times)

    I did a Reset Network Settings

    I don't know what else to do - but it's a 10.0.2 IOS issue.

    Hello AppleUser2k,

    Please ask questions about your problems of connection between your iPhone and your Plantronics headset since you upgraded to iOS 10. I understand how important it is to have your Bluetooth devices connect with your iPhone with reliability. Here's what I recommend.

    The first thing we want to make sure is that all your data is safe. You can perform a backup in iCloud or iTunes using this article: backing up your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.

    Once your data is safe, try the troubleshooting steps in this article to help: get help to connect a Bluetooth accessory with your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch device should also check with the manufacturer that the device has all the drivers and firmware to work with the new version of iOS.

    If you have checked everything and that you have installed the latest firmware or driver and always are problems, please be aware of your surroundings when you encounter these problems. If you can isolate the time or location, you see the problems, you can isolate the cause. You can even see this help article to ensure that you are not affected by outside interference: the potential sources of Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.
