How to create folder names based on Excel values or Txt files?

Hi there,
I often need to create large numbers of folders based on names I have saved in an Excel spreadsheet. I know in windows there is a way to create a macro within excel that automatically generates folder names based on cell values.
I was therefore wondering how to do the same on a Mac operating system. The main thing is to find a way to automate the process. I understand this may involve copying the values to a text file.
Below is an example of the names I need to create folders for (copied from the excel spreadsheet):
Wash Bowl Small 600
Deck Mounted Wash Bowl 500
Wash Basin - 866 - 2 Shelves
Wash Bowl Large 800
Built-In Wash Basin With 1-Taphole
Deck Mounted Wash Bowl 625
Would really appreciate a simple step by step approach to an explanation. As my understanding of using Automator, Apple Script, Terminal, etc, is extremely basic.
Thanks and Best Wishes,
Graham

Hi Niel,
Thanks again for another superb response. I have another question. Is it possible to automatically generate sub-folders along with the folder.
For example:
Folder                                                Subfolder
Wash Bowl Small 600          >            2D CAD

How to create xml nodes based on a value

Dear friends,
I've a question about graphical mapping in SAP PI...
How can I create XML nodes on the target side based on a value in a XML field on the source side.
For example:
This XML field on the source:
<NO_OF_LINES>4</NO_OF_LINES>
Must result on 4 Lines on the Target:
<LINE></LINES>
<LINE></LINES>
<LINE></LINES>
<LINE></LINES>
So it's actually the opposite of the Count function...
I appreciate your help,
Thank you in Advance,
Kind regards,
John

Hi ,
Try this
NO_OF_LINES---> count---> UDF---> LINE
example :
UDF Code :
for (int i=0;i<var1[0];i++)
result.addValue("");

How to create a list based on a value in multiple sheets

I am trying to create a list in numbers that references a common value among multiple sheets. I have 4 sheets created for a fantasy football league (1 sheet for QB, 1 for Running Back, 1 for Wide Receiver and 1 for Tight End). I have assigned a value to each player listed on each individual sheet. I would like to create a 5th sheet that lists the players in order from highest to lowest value as they are marked on their position sheet. How would this be done in Numbers?
Thanks for the help!

Here is one possible solution:
I named the four data tables "QB", "RB", "TE", and "WR", and the 5th table, for lack of a better name "Summary".
NOTE: The first row OF EVERY TABLE is a header.
In the summary table:
A2=OFFSET(INDIRECT(A$1&" :: $A$1"), MATCH(LARGE(INDIRECT(A$1&" :: B"), ROW()-1), INDIRECT(A$1&" :: B"))-1, 0, 1, 1)
select A2 and fill to the right, then select A2 thru D2 and fill down as needed

How to create a record based on the name of a file in the file-system?

Hi,
With a lot of pictures I want to have a database to gather some information about these pictures.
First question is how to generate a record based on a file in the file system?
e.g. the pictures are "c:\fotos\2009\01\disc_001.jpg" to "c:\foto\2009\01\dis_98.jpg" .
now i want to create records with as one of the attributes the name of the picture (not the picture itself). how to create these records (based on the information of the file-ssytem). i.e. the number of records should be the same as the number of pictures.
any suggestions?
any reaction will be appreciated.

THANK YOU

so i still do not understand how i would create one
button per each line in a txt flle then read in the
file that the txt file specified.This assumes you know how many lines there are in the file.
If not, modify as per my prior post
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
class Testing extends JFrame
String[] linesInFile = {"Hello","World","Goodbye","Now"};
JButton[] btn = new JButton[linesInFile.length];
public Testing()
    setLocation(200,200);
    setDefaultCloseOperation(EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    JPanel jp = new JPanel(new GridLayout(0,1));
    for(int x = 0; x < btn.length; x++)
      btn[x] = new JButton(linesInFile[x]);//<---this would be where file.readLine() goes
      jp.add(btn[x]);
      btn[x].addActionListener(new ActionListener(){
        public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae){
          JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(getContentPane(),ae.getActionCommand());}});
    getContentPane().add(jp);
    pack();
public static void main(String[] args){new Testing().setVisible(true);}

How to create a report based on a DataSet programatically

I'm working on a CR 2008 Add-in.
Usage of this add-in is: Let the user choose from a list of predefined datasets, and create a totally empty report with this dataset attached to is. So the user can create a report based on this dataset.
I have a dataset in memory, and want to create a new report in cr2008.
The new report is a blank report (with no connection information).
If I set the ReportDocument.SetDataSource(Dataset dataSet) property, I get the error:
The report has no tables.
So I must programmatically define the table definition in my blank report.
I found the following article: https://boc.sdn.sap.com/node/869, and came up with something like this:
internal class NewReportWorker : Worker
      public NewReportWorker(string reportFileName)
         : base(reportFileName)
public override void Process()
         DatabaseController databaseController = ClientDoc.DatabaseController;
         Table table = new Table();
         string tabelName = "Table140";
         table.Name = tabelName;
         table.Alias = tabelName;
         table.QualifiedName = tabelName;
         table.Description = tabelName;
         var fields = new Fields();
         var dbField = new DBField();
         var fieldName = "ID";
         dbField.Description = fieldName;
         dbField.HeadingText = fieldName;
         dbField.Name = fieldName;
         dbField.Type = CrFieldValueTypeEnum.crFieldValueTypeInt64sField;
         fields.Add(dbField);
         dbField = new DBField();
         fieldName = "IDLEGITIMATIEBEWIJS";
         dbField.Description = fieldName;
         dbField.HeadingText = fieldName;
         dbField.Name = fieldName;
         dbField.Type = CrFieldValueTypeEnum.crFieldValueTypeInt64sField;
         fields.Add(dbField);
         // More code for more tables to add.
         table.DataFields = fields;
         //CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataDefModel.ConnectionInfo info =
         //   new CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataDefModel.ConnectionInfo();
         //info.Attributes.Add("Databse DLL", "xxx.dll");
         //table.ConnectionInfo = info;
         // Here an error occurs.
         databaseController.AddTable(table, null);
         ReportDoc.SetDataSource( [MyFilledDataSet] );
         //object path = @"d:\logfiles\";
         //ClientDoc.SaveAs("test.rpt", ref path, 0);
The object ClientDoc referes to a ISCDReportClientDocument in a base class:
   internal abstract class Worker
      private ReportDocument _ReportDoc;
      private ISCDReportClientDocument _ClientDoc;
      private string _ReportFileName;
      public Worker(string reportFileName)
         _ReportFileName = reportFileName;
         _ReportDoc = new ReportDocument();
         // Load the report from file path passed by the designer.
         _ReportDoc.Load(reportFileName);
         // Create a RAS Document through In-Proc RAS through the RPTDoc.
         _ClientDoc = _ReportDoc.ReportClientDocument;
      public string ReportFileName
         get
            return _ReportFileName;
      public ReportDocument ReportDoc
         get
            return _ReportDoc;
      public ISCDReportClientDocument ClientDoc
         get
            return _ClientDoc;
But I get an "Unspecified error" on the line databaseController.AddTable(table, null);
What am i doing wrong? Or is there another way to create a new report based on a DataSet in C# code?

Hi,
Have a look at the snippet code below written for version 9 that you might accommodate to CR 2008, it demonstrates how to create a report based on a DataSet programmatically.

HOW TO CREATE A DFF BASED ON ORGANIZATION

Hi,
I want to create a DFF which would have 5 different context values, i want 2 of them to be available in one organization and other 3 in other organization, how i can achieve this.
Regards,
Usman.

Hello,
"HOW TO CREATE A DFF BASED ON ORGANIZATION"
1- I will create a customized table having two columns one is for context name and other is for org_id,
2- then i will create a value set on this table and will use this on 'Value Set' field on 'Descriptive Flexfield Segments' window.
3- In the where clause of this value set i will pass org_id from profile $PROFILES$.ORG_ID,
4- this will restrict the context based on org_id And user will only have context related to there org
I have successfully achieved the above requirment.
Find below the restriction you should follow so that Value set is available in LOVs on "Descriptive Flexfield Segments" window:
Value sets used for context fields must obey certain restrictions or they will not be available to use in the Value Set field in the Context Field region of the Descriptive
Flexfield Segments window:
• Format Type must be Character (Char)
• Numbers Only must not be checked (alphabetic characters are allowed)
• Uppercase Only must not be checked (mixed case is allowed)
• Right-justify and Zero-fill Numbers must not be checked
• Validation Type must be Independent or Table
If the validation type is Independent:
• the value set maximum size must be less than or equal to 30
If the validation type is Table:
• the ID Column must be defined, it must be Char or Varchar2 type, and its size must
be less than or equal to 30. The ID column corresponds to the context field value
code (the internal, non-translated context field value).
• the Value Column must be defined, it must be Char or Varchar2 type, and its size
must be less than or equal to 80. The Value column corresponds to the context field
value name (the displayed context field value).
• the value set maximum size must be less than or equal to 80
All context field values (the code values) you intend to use must exist in the value set. If
you define context field values in the Context Field Values block of the Descriptive
Flexfield Segments window that do not exist in the context field value set, they will be
ignored, even if you have defined context-sensitive segments for them.
Best Regards,
Usman.

How to create dynamic context based on a structure defined in the program?

Hi Experts,
         I need to create a dynamic context based on a structure wa_struc which i have define programatically.
When I pass wa_struc to structure_name parameter of create_nodeinfo_from_struc, i get a runtime error:
"Parameter STRUCTURE_NAME contains an invalid value wa_struc."
How to create dynamic context based on a structure defined in the program?
I have written the code like this:
TYPES: BEGIN OF t_type,
            v_carrid TYPE sflight-carrid,
            v_connid TYPE sflight-connid,
         END OF t_type.
Data: i_struc type table of t_type,
         wa_struc type t_type.
data: dyn_node   type ref to if_wd_context_node.
data: rootnode_info   type ref to if_wd_context_node_info.
rootnode_info = wd_context->get_node_info( ).
clear i_struc. refresh i_struc.
select carrid connid into corresponding fields of table i_struc from sflight where carrid = 'AA'.
cl_wd_dynamic_tool=>create_nodeinfo_from_struct(
parent_info = rootnode_info
node_name = 'dynflight'
structure_name = 'wa_struc'
is_multiple = abap_true ).
dyn_node = wd_context->get_child_node( name = 'dynflight' ).
dyn_node->bind_table( i_struc ).
Thanks
Gopal

Hi Michelle,
          First of all Special thanks for your informative answers to my other forum questions. I really appreciate your help.
Coming back to this question I am still waiting for an answer. Please help. Note that my structure is not in a dictionary.
I am trying to create a new node. That is
CONTEXT
- DYNFLIGHT
CARRID
CONNID
As you see above I am trying to create 'DYNFLIGHT' along with the 2 attributes which are inside this node. The structure of the node that is, no.of attributes may vary based on some condition. Thats why I am trying to create a node dynamically.
Also I cannot define the structure in the ABAP dictionary because it changes based on condition
I have updated my code like the following and I am getting error:
TYPES: BEGIN OF t_type,
CARRID TYPE sflight-carrid,
CONNID TYPE sflight-connid,
END OF t_type.
Data: i_struc type table of t_type,
dyn_node type ref to if_wd_context_node,
rootnode_info type ref to if_wd_context_node_info,
i_node_att type wdr_context_attr_info_map,
wa_node_att type line of wdr_context_attr_info_map.
wa_node_att-name = 'CARRID'.
wa_node_att-TYPE_NAME = 'SFLIGHT-CARRID'.
insert wa_node_att into table i_node_att.
wa_node_att-name = 'CONNID'.
wa_node_att-TYPE_NAME = 'SFLIGHT-CONNID'.
insert wa_node_att into table i_node_att.
clear i_struc. refresh i_struc.
select carrid connid into corresponding fields of table i_struc from sflight where carrid = 'AA'.
rootnode_info = wd_context->get_node_info( ).
rootnode_info->add_new_child_node( name = 'DYNFLIGHT'
attributes = i_node_att
is_multiple = abap_true ).
dyn_node = wd_context->get_child_node( 'DYNFLIGHT' ).
dyn_node->bind_table( i_struc ).
l_ref_interfacecontroller->set_data( dyn_node ).
But now I am getting the following error :
The following error text was processed in the system PET : Line types of an internal table and a work area not compatible.
The error occurred on the application server FMSAP995_PET_02 and in the work process 0 .
The termination type was: RABAX_STATE

Find the folder name based on the View Name

Hi ,
I need to find out a Folder name based on a View Name . Basically i know the view Name and want to find out the Folder that is created in Discovrer based out of that view.
Does any one know of any EUL table that stores this relationship.
Thanks in advance for your help
Sunny

Hi,
Your requirement can be fulfilled using the following script:
SELECT bas.ba_name,
bas.ba_id,
obj.obj_name folder,
decode(obj.obj_type,
'COBJ',
'Complex',
'SOBJ',
'Simple',
'CUO',
'Custom',
'Unknown') AS obj_type,
decode(obj.obj_hidden,0,'Bare','Hidden') IS_HIDDEN,
obj.sobj_ext_table folder_source_object
FROM eul10g_us.eul5_ba_obj_links bol,
eul10g_us.eul5_objs ; obj,
eul10g_us.eul5_bas ; bas
WHERE obj.obj_id = bol.bol_obj_id
AND bas.ba_id = bol.bol_ba_id
BUT
As you can see from the SQL, only simple folders are mapped to objects.
This means that if the object is used inside a custom folder or complex folder you will not see it.

Did you perform a Firefox Reset either by clicking the button on the Help > Troubleshooting Information page or via the Safe mode start window?
You may have gotten the Safe Mode start window as the result of not being able to start Firefox more than once after crashes.
See:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_crashes
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Firefox+crashes
If you have submitted crash reports then please post the IDs of one or more crash reports that have this format:
*bp-xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx
You can find the IDs of the submitted crash reports on the <i>about:crashes</i> page.
*You can open the <b>about:crashes</b> page via the location bar, like you open a website.
See:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Mozilla_Crash_Reporter
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Mozilla+Crash+Reporter
If you can't open Firefox then see:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Mozilla_Crash_Reporter#Location_of_crash_reports
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Mozilla_Crash_Reporter#Viewing_crash_reports
"Reset" creates a new default profile with a time stamp appended to identify it and tries to recover settings like bookmarks and history and passwords and cookies and auto-fill data from the old profile, but you lose data like extensions and other customizations.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
Firefox 15+ versions will move the old profile folder to an "Old Firefox Data-##" folder on the Desktop that gets a number appended if you use reset more than once, so you can no longer use the profile manager to revert to the old profile.

How to create a report based on selected item from Select list?

Hi,
I have created a tables_LOV based on:
select table_name d, table_name r from user_tab_cols
where column_name like '%_type%'
Then I created a page item ListOfTables, Display as select list and pointing to tables_LOV.
I run the page, and i can select the table i want from the drop down list.
How to create a report based on the selected item? (ex: select * from selected_table)
many thanks in advance
Salah

Hi Salah,
Allright, have a look at this page: http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=vincentdeelen:collection_report
I think that simulates what you're trying to accomplish. I've set up the simplest method I could think of.
The report is based on an apex collection. If you are not familiar with that, you should study the documentation: APEX_COLLECTION
To recreate my example you should:
1) create an (interactive) report on your collection
SELECT *
   FROM APEX_collections
WHERE collection_name = 'MY_COLLECTION'
2) create a page_item select list for the tables you want to display (in my case this is called "P38_TABLES" )
3) create a dynamic action that triggers on change of your select list page_item. The dynamic action must be a PL/SQL procedure perfoming the following code:
declare
l_query varchar2(4000);
begin
l_query := 'select * from '||:P38_TABLES;
if apex_collection.collection_exists
        ( p_collection_name => 'MY_COLLECTION' )
then
    apex_collection.delete_collection
      ( p_collection_name => 'MY_COLLECTION' );
end if;
apex_collection.create_collection_from_query
    ( p_collection_name => 'MY_COLLECTION'
    , p_query           => l_query
end;
Make sure you add your page_item to the "Page Items to Submit" section.
4) Add an extra true action that does a refresh of the report region.
Here are two pictures describing the da:

How to create folder with sub folder ?

How to create folder with sub folder ?

Hi,
Questions. 17 / 17 unresolved -> very bad reputation
but ok - let's help anyway ...
1. create everything in Screen Painter
2. set FromPane and ToPane property correct.
example:
Items in MainFolder: FromPane & ToPane: 1 to 3
Items in SubFolderA (From 2 To 2) - SubFolderB (From 3 To 3)
shouldn't be that difficult
in your Code set oForm.PaneLevel when the user clicks on the Folder

How to change datasource name based on the partition in configplan

Hi
Can any one please give me some solutions regarding how to change datasource name based on the partition in
configplan.
can't we do this in configuration plan?

If you want to change template based on parameter. you have to use below syntax
v_layout boolean
V_LAYOUT:= FND_SUBMIT.add_layout(template_appl_name => 'SQLAP' -- application short name
,template_code => 'HUBAPAPN' -- template name
,template_language => 'en'
,template_territory => '00'
,output_format => 'PDF');
Above can be used in plsql stored procedure before submitting Concurrent Program (Bi Publisher report) or may be you can try to add this code in Oracle reports after report or before report trigger
Thanks
