How can I generate a map file with LabVIEW?

We wish to use a product which inserts code into our executable to prevent tampering with it by crackers. The program, however, takes the executable file, as well as the map file (which is commonly generated by c++ compilers) and uses the map file to determine where in the exe the critical routines that need protection are at. I can not, however, determine how to create such a map file for a LabVIEW generated executable. Is there a special build option I need to invoke?

Yes, I'm familar with NI's licensing technology, having talked with someone (you, Dennis, I believe) about it before. The problem we have is our software is sold to factories in China where there are no internet connections. We have a physical key 'dongle' which must be present in order for the executable to be willing to run. However, it appears that people are taking the executable which LabVIEW creates and they are editing it, probably by using a a debugger and tracing to the the code which checks for the dongles presence and bypassing it. To my knoweledge, NI's products don't do anything to prevent this, right?
We found a company which sells a product that encryptes, checksums, etc... an executable file, but it needs to know the layout of functions in the exe in order to determine which areas to focus the obfuscation on. They were sort of matter of fact when they said it needs the exe and the map file, as if they expected any language which produced an exe could produce a map file.

Please, I need help - How can I generate a text file with Word format?

Hello friends at www.oracle.com ,
is it possible for me to create a text file - that is, with TEXT_IO.fopen, and so on - that's already formatted as a Word document?
We have a Forms program here, where it's needed to generate a text file with .RTF format, 8 centimeters margin, Times New Roman font, with size 7.
Best regards,
Franklin Goncalves Jr.

Hello Shay,
sincere thanks for your answer. And, to answer your last question, I'm using client-server model.
Since I couldn't create this .RTF file by using built-ins like TEXT_IO, I tried to generate an .RTF file using Reports, passing the parameters DESTYPE, DESNAME and DESFORMAT, as shown below.
add_parameter (pl_id, 'DESTYPE', text_parameter, 'FILE');
add_parameter (pl_id, 'DESNAME', text_parameter, 'c:\franklin.rtf');
add_parameter (pl_id, 'DESFORMAT', text_parameter, 'RTF');
However, the just generated .RTF file is uncomprehensible. After opening the file at Microsoft Word, I can see the following message at the top of file:
This file was created by Oracle Reports. Please view this document in Page Layout mode.
... and informations doesn't appear as desired.
If I can't generate such text format by using TEXT_IO, and if generating an .RTF file through Reports shows me an incomprehensible result, how can I export the selected result to an .RTF file?
When Reports is opened, choosing Generate to file -> RTF doesn't export anything.
Thanks, and best regards,
Franklin Goncalves Jr.

How can I create a zip file with LabVIEW?

I would like to compress my data (ASCII format) to an archive.
I use LVZlib.vi to compress and decompress data but I would like to be able to read the output file with a software archiver such as PowerArchiver/WinZIP.
Someone knows how I can create a file compatible with zip or gz standard format, thanks !

>> Yes but I have to install a special archiver (with ms-dos ommand line ability
>> such as pkzip,arc,rar,arj...) on the computer where I install my LV application.
Search for "gnu tools for windows" and get zip.exe, gzip.exe, bzip2.exe and others (even the source, if you like). These are about 50kB files that run in place (no installation) - easy to include in a distributed app. Oh, since I'm logged in I'll attach a couple, though I don't have the source on this machine).

Hi Reggi,
you can open the image in a browser and take a snapshot of it. Simulate the key down event (Alt + print).
See this link to see how you get the image from the clipboard.

How can i generate session.xml file?

hello
i am a beginner of toplink,i find that in my project,i must provide two xml format files,they are "session.xml" and a project xml file,to make the toplink works well,the project descriptor can be generated by using the mapping workbench,but how can i generate the "session.xml",now,what i can do is to modify the sample file that come with the toplink installation,i wonder if there is a graphic tool that can be used to generate it?
thanks for any helps!

Currently there is no UI support for creating or modifying sessions.xml. The DTD is provided in both the documentation as well as in the installed files (<TOPLINK_HOME>\core\sessions_4_5.dtd). The examples should also contain a variety of sessions.xml file to assist you.

How can (parse) i use XML file with missing EndTag

hi,
i have an application which writes an "XML file".
another application should read that XML file, build an DOM and
access the nodes with xpath.
my problem. if the first application is not finished there are tags
missing. e.g. </xml>. but the seconds application cannot wait until the first application finishes it task.
if i now read the XML file the parser cannot load it because the end tags are missing.
my question:
how can i deactivate the check or how can i read the XML file and access it via XPath (my application is using at the moment XPath to access the nodes and i dont want to change that)
as parser i am using XERCES
alex

As far as I know, you can't do this - xml must be well formed (this is sort of a bedrock of xml). There may be some work around's, but I'm not aware of any - and they would most likely be hacks.

Having Oracle 9i.
One more doubt. In the speck, some constand values are there, When i write the same into file, How can i write ?.
1. l_str := ' "E27" '
or
2. l_str := ' E27 '
UTL_FILE.PUT_LINE(L_FILE_POI,l_str,TRUE);
1 case : in XML file : "E27"
In 2 case : E27
When we write a XML file through editors , we have to define the constant within quote . is it?
Which one can i use ? Or any other way is there ..

How can I generate a staircase waveform in Labview

Hello,
How can a staircase waveform be created in Labview. I have attached the waveform needed.

staircase.xls ‏16 KB

A waveform typically has a constant time increment between points. Your xls example has two y values for each even timepoint so to reproduce your example directly would be a bit tricky. Attached is one possible very simple solution that has a constant dt.
Modify as needed.

How can we load a flat file with very, very long lines into a table?

Hello:
We have to load a flat file with OWB. The problem is that each of the lines in the file might be up to 30.000 characters long (up to 1.000 units of information in each line, 30 characters long each)
Of course, our mapping should insert these units of information as independent rows in a table (1.000 rows, in our example).
We do not know how to go about it. We usually load flat files using table functions, but we am not sure that they will be able to cope with these huge lines. And how should we pivot those lines? Will the Pivot operator do the trick? Or maybe we should pivot those lines outside the database before loading them?
We are a bit lost. Any suggestion would be appreciated.
Regards

Edited by: [email protected] on Oct 29, 2008 8:44 AM

Yes, well, we could define a 1.000 column external table, and then map those 1.000 columns to the Pivot operator… perhaps it would work. But we have been investigating a little bit, and we think that we have found a better solution: there is a unix utility called “fold”. This utility can split our 30.000 character lines in 1.000 lines, 30 characters long each: just what we needed. Then we can load the resulting file using an external table.
We think this is a much better solution that handling 1.000 columns in the external table and in the Pivot operator.
Thanks for your help.

How can I programatically identify PDF files with embedded images?

Our company has 27,266,949 .PDF files that we're planning to compress in order to save server space.
We don't want to compress any of the .PDF files that have embedded images as to not alter the image's state.
How can we programatically create a list to exclude from the compression process?

Ah, see told you we were new to this and no, my taxs already have enough digits to the balance.
Ok, so based on that, we should be able to use the preflighting tool to identify the PDF’s with images, factor them out, and then continue with lossless compression on the remaining balance.
That will give us the compression we need to save space, but also allow us to stand in the court of law (if the scenario was to ever occur) and proclaim that none of our medical images have ever been altered by compression.
Sound like a reasonable plan?

How can I save a XML file with JAXP1.1?

Dear All.
I write a program to create XML file with DOM model, but I can't know how to save it? My environment is JAXP1.1 and JDK1.3.1,I has been required not use other XML parser toolkits,only JAXP1.1.
How can I do? thank you.
Many person give me a idea the com.sun.xml.tree.XmlDocument, but I can't find the class in API document or JAXP1.1's packages. why?
what is it? How can i use it?
thank you very much.

The way to save an XML Document is using a Transformer.
To have access to a transformer use the packages :
import javax.xml.transform.*;
import javax.xml.transform.dom.*;
import javax.xml.transform.stream.*;
Then for saving your Document Object (named dXml) get a Transformer Object with the TransformerFactory Object :
TransformerFactory tf = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
Transformer t = tf.newTransformer();
Now you have got your Transformer Object, to save your Document Object use the method :
Document dXml = getMyDocument(); // this is your Document Object.
OutputStream osSave = getMySaveStream(); // this the OutputStream you need to save your Document.
try
t.transform(new DomSource(dXml), new StreamResult(new OutputStreamWriter(osSave)));
finally
osSave.close();
And your Document was now saved.
