Right-click on the project and select Properties. Go to the Filters tab and make sure that .dat files are in the list. If not, you can add the type. BTW, I don't recommend Projects for a UNIX implementation. It writes all the files owned by root. However, if you are doing local deployment on your personal machine, there is no problem.

The concern is we are not able to view these files from Web focus DevStudio and hence can not update. As the access to the UNIX box in all the three environments has been revoked and we update the files from Web focus Dev Studio.please let us know how we can update the same from Web Focus Dev Studio. But i have access to UNIX boxes...i can see them ...But from Dev Studio... I cannot... As per Ginny... I think i have to add the file type... But i donno whats next... As i am new to Webfocus...I need the basics... WEBFOCUS 7.6.4 Unix All output | |||

Waz I can ask the unix admin(who has root privilages) to do it. But can we copy the .dat file from unix boxes to Dev studio. If yes.. How can we do pls give clear idea.. Thanks allot WEBFOCUS 7.6.4 Unix All output | |||

YOU DON'T NEED TO COPY "that .dat file from unix box to dev studio" - DEV STUDIO POINTS TO FILES ON THE UNIX BOX. YOU HAVE TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM OF WHY THE .DAT FILES ARE NOT DISPLAYED IN THE "Other" FOLDER. DO YOU HAVE TROUBLE WITH ANY OTHER KINDS OF FILES? MAS, FEX, STY, HTML, CSS, ETC? ARE THERE ACTUALLY ANY .DAT FILES IN THE ENVIRONMENT'S APP FOLDER ON THE UNIX SERVER? Francis  Give me code, or give me retirement.

Yes all the other files like MAS,STY,ACX are present in this application folders only Dat File is missing... Yes 100% the dat file is present in UNIX box. But missing in Dev studio... WEBFOCUS 7.6.4 Unix All output | |||

If you get desperate enough, you can rename the files as .fex. Dumb solution, but it should work. dwf | |||

An app in one of our unix environments created a file which had a backslash in the name. You could not see from DS. I just tested it again, the filename was "bad\file.dat" Perhaps there is an issue with the file name ? Waz...

Just a very stupid question, but maybe it helps. Have you looked at the file permissions on the unix box? Is there a difference in the permission between the file that you can see and the file that you can't see? (ls -al will show you) If they are set in such a way that the file is not visible from the outside world, then DS will not see it. Well, it's not DS of course, since that product does not have direct access to the machine, but the filelist is built by the unix counterpart of DS (Webserver, app server or EDA server). GamP
