I am reading this file "readme_5202_P8CPE_IF001.htm" (Content Platform Engine 5.2.0.2 Interim Fix 1), and I encountered this procedure:
Copy the new Engine-xx.ear file into the following directory. This directory is a staging location. Do not delete or overwrite the currently deployed Engine-xx.ear file.
Windows
installation_location\ContentEngine\lib
UNIX
installation_location/ContentEngine/lib
What I don't understand is, how am I supposed to copy the Engine-xx.ear file to the specified directory without deleting or overwriting the existing Engine-xx.ear file there? Please bear with me if my understanding in English is not good.
Thank you very much!
That's a note (poorly explained, though) not to overwrite the original file (Engine-xx.ear), but to rename it, as e.g. Engine-xx-orig.ear, and store it aside (to have it if something goes bad with your upgrade) before copying/building the version from a fix pack to that same location.
Which is called a staging environment.
Because it's used to build a WAR/EAR for deployment.
Judging from the rest of the document, I belive that they are trying to tell you that you should follow their instructions carefully, and not try to be clever and overwrite the deployed application (at some other location).
I would give it a shot and overwrite whatever is in installation_location\ContentEngine\lib, the staging location. Make a backup of the files you overwrite in case it doesn't work out.

I'm still trying to create my first Azure Pipeline CI / CD. My CI part is working fine, my CD is also working except I cannot apply my Web.config file transformations.
Let me first show you what I have then I will ask several questions below. The build with generated artifact. I also copy manually my 3 config files.
Wen I open my WebAPI.zip file here is the path and content:
Here is my pipeline project
And the details of my staging phase:
When I run this full pipeline my config file is never transformed but I get no error. I just get a
2019-05-02T03:27:23.5778958Z ##[warning]Unable to apply transformation
for the given package.
I also have the debug log with full information but it doesn't give me much information for now. I will add it here later.
Questions
Azure Pipeline File Transformation is not working. Why?
Is it because the File Tranform task only look for config file in zip?
Is this system then just ignoring my tranformation file in root of artifact?
So I think my manual copy of config transformation file is obsolete?
How can I then add my transformation file into my zip?
In my csproj I already set all my tranformation files on Build action content, copy always, this is ignored too, is it normal?
EDIT 1
One more important question: Is it possible to simply ask the deployment system to ignore or not deploy my config file. It is not something I want to deploy every time. I like the idea I have to do it manually or from alternative deployment system. With this solution I can have some other issues if I save a version or build variable in my config file. Then is it possible to modify a already deployed file after deployment? I'm looking for workaround here. Example: I read a value in my existing config file then I increment this value by one or simply replace this value with another?
EDIT 2
I'm now able to add the config file to the WebApi.zip package on root and/or in bin folder. I followed the comment of Shayki Abramczyk bu using the xml transform of deploy. Still not working. And the errors messages are so poor. Seriously Microsoft? Is your transformation system even working? I see question similar to mine everywhere.
And now I get
The file is correct, transform works fine from Visual Studio Publish tool. I really think the xml transform tool from Microsoft in Azure is just not working.
EDIT 3
Is it possible to issues from my transformmations come from NLog because of the name and then special rule I apply on it?
we have an old jar loaded instead of the correct jar. this was a temperory issue and when we restarted the server it picked the correct jar, so I was searching for what might be the cause of this, and I found that there are two places tmp/_WL_user and /AdminServer/tmp they contain copies of application jars. can someone explain the purpose of these two locations and when WebLogic loads the jars from them?
These are temporary application directories. Normally, these files and directories are deleted automatically when no longer needed. However, it is possible to delete them manually to save disk space. Please bear in mind that WLS should be STOPPED prior to deleting these files.
The /tmp/WL_user is actually the cache of your Admin/managed server. In case you accidentally delete the actual jar/war/ear file, your application will still run even if you do a restart of the server. It will only look for the actual location of the jar file only when you remove the /tmp/WL_user directory and restart the servers.
Wroth noting if you have staging enabled, you will also find a directory named 'stage'. This is generally enabled in production where you will find another copy of the jar file. I a not sure of the purpose, but this is again to keep another copy of the jar file to avoid any accidental removal from the original source directory.
Hope this clarifies.
Should the file name contain a number for the tetFileStream to pickup? my program is picking up new files only if the file name contains a number. Ignoring all other files even if they are new. Is there any setting I need to change for picking up all the files? Please help
No. it scans the directory for new files which appear within the window. If you are writing to S3, do a direct write with your code, as the file doesn't appear until the final close() —no need to rename. In constrast, if you are working with file streaming sources against normal filesystems, you should create out of the scanned dir and rename in at the end —otherwise work-in-progress files may get read. And once read: never re-read.
After spending hours on analyzing stack trace, I figured out that the problem is S3 address. I was providing "s3://mybucket", which was working for Spark 1.6 and Scala 2.10.5. On Spark 2.0 (and Scala 2.11), it must be provided as "s3://mybucket/". May be some Regex related stuff. Working fine now. Thanks for all the help.
I would like to generate some temporary files in the course of my application. Specifically, I'm using AVAudioRecorder to record a file that I, upon stopping the recording, would like to load and edit/process. My question is:
What is the appropriate standard place to create temporary files. Is there some generally accepted approach to this for Mac or for iPad programming in general? I don't want to simply create a directory and write files into it if there is a proper protocol to this.
The answer to this question is actually a lot more complicated then one might assume. One cannot necessarily just use NSTemporaryDirectory and be done. I cocoadev.com has some good pages on this topic and I would suggest that you study them yourself and determine what will work best for your circumstance.

The usual place for applications to store temporary data is /var/tmp. You could also use /tmp but this directory is for system-generated temporary files and anything in /tmp is deleted when the machine reboots.
What I found was that according to the iOS Application Programming Guide, I am supposed to query for the appropriate temporary folder for my application via NSTemporaryDirectory(). I tried this and it returned a folder within the /var directory, in my case '/var/folders/pQ/pQ+ZqZCSHWSIHftcbIo57U+++TI/-Tmp-/'.
/tmp or /usr/tmp are the usual places to store temporary files in Unix (which Mac OS X and iOS are).
I'd like to create a file with an invalid created/modified/accessed timestamp to use in unit tests to ensure that my application can handle files with invalid timestamps. It's a Windows application written in C# that could run on both NTFS and FAT32 filesystems.
This is not possible.
If you are looking for a timestamp editor, I found this one useful.

Have a look at the opensource 'Touch for Windows'.
It updates the dates associated with a file to whatever you want it to be. It can change access, modification and creation dates. You as a user can update them independently of each other, you can update them with any possible date. Dates can be now, user specified or copied from another file. If you try to touch a file which does not exist, this command will create it for you (empty of course).
Have a look and download the source here.
Get the NuGet package MySql.Data in version 8.0.18 ( from here).
On my NTFS filesystem, this little dll acts a bit weird.
