Hi,

I am trying to copy a .fex file from Managed reporting server with its actual name to my desktop (for backup purpose).

But it is getting renamed to some href file name.

How do i copy a file with its actual name to my desktop.

Thanks in advance.

In MRE a file may not have the same physical file name as the display name.

Right click and select properties and you will see the real file name.

What you get when doing a copy is the physical file.

If you are an MR administrator you can use the MRExtract utility to create a file that can be reported on that will give you a cross reference list. We provide that for our users about once a quarter. As if we need to restore a file we need the physical file name not the name displayed. The information on how to run the utility and file layouts are in the admin manual for MR.

You can always open it, select all and copy it to notepad and save it on your desktop. Or you can ftp it from your unix server to your computer.

JG hit it on the nose. It is not changing the name of the file, but simply copying the file with its ACTUAL physical name rather than the "nice" name that has been assigned to it in the MR environment. If you want something else, use Pat's suggestion and copy and paste your code and save it to whatever you want. Hoever, you then have the problem of identifying which procedure it is you may need to restore.

Second note, if you're copying files from a SERVER to a PC for backup, you might need to re-examine you backup strategy.

Darin

What CLH is suggesting is what we do every night.
than we store that information in combination with some old DIR commands in a database.
So we have the physical name and location and many other interesting information like the long display name, original creation date and time, last change date etc.

Well,

Thanks for the responses. But i would like to add one point here. As PBrightwell said, you can't FTP the file simply from UNIX. First of all you have to copy the .fex files to UNIX server and then you have to rename every file. And then you have to FTP it.

I think Lee's option is better. Simple copy and paste will solve the problem but as a developer it is taking considerable amount of time for me to do this. Frowner

Anyways, thanks for the valuable suggestions!
