Kettle over kettle transform file pentaho CDE - database-connection

Facing issue regarding kettle over kettle transform step in pentaho CDE, i have created transformation file and it is working perfectly.
Properties of kettle over kettle transform step where i have option of select transformation file, so when i am browsing it i am able to see only 3 folders home,public, etc..
So where i have to keep my transformation file so that i can able to access it while selecting from select transformation file.

You can create a separate folder/directory (e.g.: Transformations) inside any of the already present directories (say: Admin). Next refresh your repository/cache and you will be able to see the files. Link it from your CDE.
Now ideally when building a project, i used to have a separate folder with my project initials say PROJECT. Inside this folder, i used to create the rest of the sub-folders. This helps in separating the project codes.
Hope this helps :)
Edit:
The files in user console cannot be accessed from your local system post pentaho version 5. The only way to upload or download file is either to load it from User console or execute commands from command line. Check the below link. The files are internally stored in jackrabbit repository of pentaho bi server.

Extra note: If you still want to access the files, there is REST API to handle most of the pentaho bi server capabilites. You may check this link also: http://help.pentaho.com/Documentation/5.2/0R0/070/010/0A0/0Q0#

How to place some important information like credentials in scenario outline example in a separate file for Specflow 3.9.22?

For specflow 2.4 and earlier there was Specflow.Plus.Excel nuge-package, but it's not available for newer versions. Is there an alternative for having scenario outline example in a separate file so that I can add that file to .gitignore?
Additional clearification after comments with questions:
What I'm trying to do is to put multiple credentials into scenario outline examples, but I don't want to store credentials in the repo while I want to store scenario outline in repo. So I wanted to put examples with multiple credentials in a separate file, add that file to gitignore but make scenario outline use that separate local file as a source of parameters (examples). In earlier versions it was available via excel file.

How to create multiple BI publisher reports from same ess job in oracle cloud

I am trying to run a ESS job that will create two files as output. My requirement is to create an extract file and another file that shows how many records are present in the extract file. I know how to create the extract file by writing the select query , but how do I find the count in the first select query and send it to another file ? These two files should be generated when I run the same ess job.
One report should be created after another
If you haven't seen it, I believe that this document going over creating reports in BI can assist - https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E28280_01/bi.1111/e22257/create_rpt_jobs.htm#BIPUG188
Specifically section 4.3

pgadmin 4: Exporting .tar file

I am trying to use pgAdmin 4 on my personal laptop (Windows operating system with PostgreSQL 9.6) to export a database as a .tar file. I had issues importing csv through the Import/Export tool as well, and could only import successfully when doing the following:
COPY public.build_info FROM 'C:\time_table.csv' CSV HEADER;
I have read a few questions that resort to backing up a database through the command line, but I am hoping to complete this within pgAdmin4.
My current steps are:
right click my database (in this case Housing_DB)
Choose my directory to save (same place the csv files were imported from)
Add additional information (encoding, file type, name, etc.)
I get an error immediately connected to Permissions, but have struggled to determine how to fix this issue:
Does anybody know how I could go through and provide permissions to be able to back up this database? I have looked at the documentation pertaining to backup/restore but did not see anything covering permissions (https://www.pgadmin.org/docs4/1.x/backup_dialog.html).
It looks like your C:\ is protected by administrator account which can't be written by user postgres. Can you try again with locations like your 'Desktop' or 'Temp' folder.

Scan directory for file names in MVC

I'm developing a MVC5 web app, hosted through azure, that lets you manage your movies (it's just for myself at the moment). I'm trying to find a way to scan a local folder on the users pc for a list of file names. I do realise the security/permissions issues I might run into. I do not need the file uploaded, only the full file name.
It would work by the user being able to select a folder where they store their movies and it will take in all the file names, including the ones in any sub directories.
I tried a multiple file upload form but quickly ran into issues with the max request limit which I tried messing around with but it proved redundant in the end. I can settle for the user selecting multiple files but would rather it done the directory way.
I know this might prove impossible in the end but any help would be greatly appreciated.

open an excel file located on the server instead of download it MVC

I'm building a Reporting web application right now with MVC3 and I've come up to a couple problems.
My goal is to have it able to generate and view Crystal Reports, SSRS reports, and Excel documents.
Right now I'm working on the Excel segment and I'm running into more trouble than I thought I would. First off, when I link directly to the file, it either opens inside the browser or it downloads it from the server and if the user makes changes it doesn't actually save it to the true file on the server.
I've tried both linking to the file directly using Razor and a ViewModel with the path to the document as well as directing it to an action that returned a File.
I've also tried linking it to a shortcut to the actual file thinking that if I could open the shortcut it would open the file the way I wanted it to and unfortunately it didn't really open at all.
The users already have access to the files on the server through a network drive, so as of right now they can go into the server, open the excel document, edit and save it no problem. I want to duplicate this effect through a link. The program already has a file browser built, so I can browse between the files and make links to the reports.
Thanks in advance!
Since they are apparently on a network drive, you can just link to the files directly, relative to the user?
For example: a link to file://///SERVERNAME/folder/
I tested it between two computers on the network, and that seems to work. However, you still get a popup asking that you want to do with the file, open or save. (both in firefox and IE)
Note: Yes, that many slashes seem necessary, lol
