How to create bulk configuration files from a template for staging?

Hello,
We have created a sample configuration for ISRG2 2901 Router. The sample configuration is long, and with copy/paste it is possible to skip some lines, and it is difficult to ensure the configuration of every device is standardized due to this error possibility. What we are trying to achieve is first create a template from this sample configuration file, and then create configuration files for each device seperately and automatically. After creating this configuration instances, we want to be able to distribute the configuration files (and possibly the ios) to the devices during the staging phase. Since there are about 1000 2901 routers, creating configuration files is important?
From searching we have found the following tools:
1) CCE (Cisco Configuration Engine): This tool seems to be very efficient for distributing the created configuration files. We may use the serial number of the device, and it provides almost zero touch provisioning of the configuration files to the devices. Creating the configuration file from the template seems to be manual, i.e enter the ip addresses of the interfaces, the routing tables one by one for each device. How can we use velocity template for device configs?
2) Ciscoworks LMS Prime: It is possible to create a baseline template for the devices, and after getting the backup configuration of the routers, it is possible to compare the actual configuration of the device with the baseline template, and understand if there is any difference with each other. This is indeed very useful in order to keep the configuration standardized, we again could not find a way to create bulk configuration files from the baseline template.
3) Solarwinds Config Generator: This tool is useful for creating a configuration file from a template, but again not for automatically creating configuration files, and needs manual intervention.
4) Excel Macro: It seems that some people have achived to automatically create configuration files with using an excel macro, but we could not find a procedure or tip of how to achieving this.
5) Pearl or TCL/TK Script: Again since we are not software developers but from networking field, it is difficult to achieve a working form of this scripts or codes due to to lack of documentation and development experience.
So our problem comes down to creating a template from a sample configuration, and creating bulk configuration files from the template. Is there a specific tool or procedure to achive this purpose?
Thanks in Advance,

How to create a pdf file from multiple images ?

Dear All,
I want to create a SINGLE page pdf file from two or more page size images that are combined to make a single page pdf. Again, this question is on pdfs that are made out of several, atleast two color images and a black-and-white mask for one of them.
I have such pdf files from an unknown source (the producer is edited out) whereby there are three tiff images, obtained using the well known pdfimages extractor.
When I want to make a pdf out of tiff or png or other image formats, I right click and tell Adobe Acrobat to make a pdf.
However, I dont know how I can give a command to select say, three tif images and specify which is the mask for which and then join them in a way that I get the pdf from the composite of the two color images and a mask for one of them.
Please help me out.
I am a little familiar with the pdf structure skeleton and when necessary, fixed xref tables in one of my favorite editors. A few years ago, I also wrote a bunch of javascripts to make some annotations and needed some automation and used some itext type libraries. However, I need your help in this problem as I am now rusty and forgot some of what I studied to solve my earlier problems. This is a new problem for me. Gentle hints from you would be very nice to help me in this problem. Please specify if necessary what manual and pages to read. in the pdfspec.

I would gladly mention that I am working on windows platform, preferably XP.
I can also work on linux for free products that come with it.

But adding other products, for the help of an adobe products user,

Well, just add the few pdf stanzas since you are proficient on it and
I am presently a little rusty as I mentioned. Just asking a little
extra yard, not even to go an extra mile.

Well, ascii format or uncompressed format that is human readable. I
know its a binary file, but human readable ascii version of it.
I hope you can give me some stanza and various other approaches
possible so I can select or combine things for myself. I see only a
miniscule number of posts claiming to have written masks in this forum
and then with no details.

How to create a .DLL file from a .C file ?

Hi everybody
I'm looking for a method how to create a .DLL file from a .C file .That Dll file will be used to perform a board to measure voice quality accoding to the international standard named PESQ (perceptual evaluation of speech qualty) P.862.
Can anyone help to start dealing with Dlls and give some advices to avoid errors ?

Hi sinaps,
You mention that you want to create a DLL from a .C file. Just to clarify, are you using C (.c file) or C++ (.cpp) to write your code?
Also, if you are using C++, are you using Visual Studio? (The reason I ask is because this forum is geared towards Measurement Studio, which is an add on to Microsoft Visual Studio).
That being said,
If you are using C: National Instruments provides an ANSI C Application Development Environment called LabWindows/CVI which makes building dlls a snap. It has templates for DLLs and you can build them either as stdcall or cdecl dlls.
Developer Zone Tutorial: Building a DLL with LabWindows/CVI 8.5 for use with LabVIEW 8.5
If you are using Visual C++: Look at the link that Al provided earlier.
MSDN: Walkthrough: Creating and Using a Dynamic Link Library
If you aren't using CVI or Visual Studio, then really the best bet is to do a google search for "Create C DLL" or post or a forum for the appropriate environment that you are using.
Thanks!

How to create an Excel file from XML in the Receiver File Adapter Comm Ch

How do I create an Excel file from XML in the Receiver File Adapter Communication Channel? I have my mapping done and I am outputting the file as a comma delimited csv file. However, the target can only process an Excel file (.xls). How can I generate an Excel in XI?
I saw this blog, but I don't know how to create a XSLT transformation.
/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/12/10/xi-generating-excel-files-without-the-java-nor-the-conversion-agent-not-possible
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Here are the steps I took to create an XSLT transformation in XI 3.0:
1. I created my source and target XSDs using XMLSpy.
2. I created the XSLT mapping from source to target in XMLSpy (referencing the souce XSD schema).
3. I created another XSLT mapping to format the target into Excel XML.
4. Import the source and target XSDs in the IR's External Definitions
5. Zip each XSLT mapping (.xls) and import it into the IR's Imported Archives
6. Reference the XSL mappings in the Interface Mapping

How to create a configuration file for open ldap.

hi,
I have installed open ldap on my machine. Now I want to configure it to NetWeaver.
For this, I started configuration through configtool utility of NetWeaver. While configuring, we need to select or upload configuration file. But now as it is open ldap we need to write our own config file.
I tried it by selecting dataSourceConfiguration_ads_deep_readonly_db.xml as a configuratio file. it shows successful test connection but the user which I have created is not appearing in UME store.
Does any body having solution for this?
I am trying to solve this problem from two days. I really appriciate one who will sove this problem

Well the configuration file you chose does not allow users created in NetWeaver to be created in the LDAP. That's why it's a "readonly" configuration. I would guess that you need a custom configuration file specifically for open ldap.
This should help get you started on a custom configuration file:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/b7/14d43f2dd44821e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm
Then again, if the only problem with the .XML file you chose is that you can't write to the LDAP, give the dataSourceConfiguration_ads_writeable_db.xml configuration file a shot.

Sridhar Raju

Hi Sridhar,
I'm unsure for what you'd need this, but in general there are at least two possibilities:
- manually pack everything into the dir structure needed (documented here: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/f9/561140d72dc442e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm ), than create a ZIP with some command line tool (e.g. JAR), naming it to .par.
- use ANT to do this; with this, you can even deploy the file, see PAR-File deployment with ANT (EP6)
Hope it helps

how to send data into an Xml File From DataGridView Header and Item?
please help me
thanks all.
Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful and He created the human

One instruction. But you do it from the dataset, not the DataGridView
Me.DataSet1.WriteXml(FILENAME)
There is a WriteXML method for a DataTable but it gives errors. Since you dataset has two tables save bot into the same xml file.

How to create a eps file from illustrator?

I am new to illustrator and new to creating logos for print, I usually only do it for the web. I am creating a logo for my team so that it can be printed onto a jacket. I created an all white logo because the jacket is black. I was asked to send an eps file. I created the logo in illustrator and saved it as an eps file and as a pdf file thinking the printer could use the pdf for viewing. When I open the pdf file, the only thing that's there is a soccer ball, my text and a few other things are missing. When I open the saved eps file, the same thing, I have to go to select all to see all my other stuff in the eps file. How do I save my file as eps and know that it's attaching everything I have within the illustrator file and how can I view the logo as a pdf? Any help you can give would be greatly appeciated, thanks so much!

How did you similate the black color?
Since Illustrator does not have a background, you must create one with the rectangle tool, drag out a rectangle the size of the document and then move it to the back. That rectangle can then be filled with black.
Also look in your layers panel and see what you have for objects. You can select them there and move them up or down to bring them forward or backward on the document. It can also make it easier to select when the object is below others.

How to create an XML file from scratch ?

Hi all,
I'm afraid that I will seem dummy, but I think I really misunderstand something or I'm trying to do something that is not possible...
I would like to create a XML file containing the following:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="pl.xsl"?>
<!DOCTYPE playlist SYSTEM "pl.dtd">
<playlist id="2">
</playlist>I really need to have both the stylesheet and the DOCTYPE declarations... Does anyone know if this is possible ?
To create the XML Document, I am using the DocumentBuilder object from javax.xml package (jaxp-1.2-ea2). I think this, at least, is correct.
To print out the XML document I have tried to use :
- the Transformer from javax.xml package (jaxp-1.2-ea2) but I could obtain only the DOCTYPE declaration.
- the Serializer from Xerces parser (version 2.0.1) to print out the Document I am creating with the jaxp, but I was able only to obtain the stylesheet declaration...
So far I have just understand that there is a difference between Serializer and Transformer (one is serializing, and the other is transforming ;-)), but I couldn't figure out which one would be suitable to produce the XML file above...
I would really appreciate if one could help me with that ;-)
Thanks,
Karau

Could send me an example ?
For the moment I am using Transformer in that way:
     TransformerFactory tfactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
     try {
         Transformer transformer = tfactory.newTransformer();
         DOMSource source = new DOMSource(playlistDoc.getDocumentElement());
         StreamResult res = new StreamResult(new File(path));
         transformer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.DOCTYPE_SYSTEM, PL_DTD);
         transformer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.INDENT, "yes");
         transformer.transform(source, res);
     catch (TransformerConfigurationException tce) {
         throw tce;
     catch (TransformerException te) {
         throw te;
     }

How to create a xls file from String [ ][ ]

Hi, I have a java class where I can read the content of files xls and store this information in a String [][].
But now, I have to do the opposite.
I have a String[][] where the information is. And I have to guard this information in a file xls.
My code when I read xls to String[][] is:
import java.io.*;
import java.io.File;
import jxl.Workbook;
import jxl.Sheet;
import jxl.Cell;
import jxl.*;
public class ReadfichExcel
    private static int numCols;
    private static int numRows;
public static String[] dimensionFile(String pathFolder, String file){
    String [] dimension = new String[2];
    try{
        Workbook libro = Workbook.getWorkbook(new File(pathFolder+"/"+file));
        Sheet hoja = libro.getSheet(0);
        numRows = hoja.getRows();
        numCols = hoja.getColumns();
    catch (Exception e)
        e.printStackTrace();
        return null;
    dimension[0] = String.valueOf(numRows);
    dimension[1] = String.valueOf(numCols);
    return dimension;
}How can I do to create a file xls with the information of a String [] []?
Thanks very much

I have solved the problem:
http://www.andykhan.com/jexcelapi/tutorial.html#writing
What do you want to do then? Do you want to read the contents of the Excel file into the array?I only wanted to create a xls file with the information I have in a String[][]. The code I posted before is the code I ussually use to read a xls file.
Next to create and write a xls file I'd do:
public static int CreateTemp (File folderUser, String file, String [][] table)
    int exito = 0;
    int rows = table.length;
    int cols = table[0].length;
    if (!folderUser.exists())
        folderUser.mkdir();
    try
        WritableWorkbook libro = Workbook.createWorkbook(new File(folderUser+"/"+file));
        WritableSheet hoja = libro.createSheet("First Sheet",0);
        // BEGIN TO WRITE
        for (int i=0;i<rows;i++)
            for (int j=0; j<cols;j++)
                Label label = new Label(j, i, table[i][j]);
                hoja.addCell(label);
        }// FOR
        // All sheets and cells added. Now write out the workbook
        libro.write();
        libro.close();
        exito = 1;
    } catch (Exception e)
            e.printStackTrace();
            return 0;
    return exito;
}Another question. As I want to copy into the xls file the information in the String[][], Is right to do this using as follow:
Label label = new Label(j, i, table[i][j]);
hoja.addCell(label); (there will be characters and numbers in the cells)
Thanks for your response.
