Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: How to compare files on the server with local machine
Hi Wendy,
Is the server NT, Unix or ???
Is the client NT?
If the client is NT and can map to the server, 1 option would be to write a batch file to loop through all the files, do a FC.exe on each file, check the errorlevel and copy the file if different.
Another option would be to use a utility like robocopy or something that will synchronise folders.
HTH,
Bruce Reardon (unsure how this relates to Oracle).
Perhaps you are talking about a Forms client accessing forms on a network share?

Hi, Gugu:
We have application installed on the server, and we also have fat client installed on everyone's local machine. But files on the server sometimes got updates by anonymous without notified. So, we want to have a batch file to do the comparison and copy funtions. Every time the batch file runs, it should compare the local files with the files on the server(s), if a change finds, it will copy the new file from server to local machine. SO the local machine will get updated also.
I want this to be dynamic, since there are more than 800 files to compare. And this could be happened on any time.
Do you have a clue where/how should I start this? a sample?
Thanks in advance.
Wendy
