Automated process to pull data from a web page without using VS and PS.

Hello,
I'm looking at finding a solution to pull data from an external web page and creating a list. I'm looking for a NON-POWERSHELL AND NON-VISUAL STUDIO solution. I am open to using InfoPath Designer.
There exists a custom, non-SharePoint page built for us which has raw data. We've already created a custom list to match the data and now need to come up with a solution to automatically update the data. In this particular scenario, power shell and visual
studio cannot be used.
Thanks in advance.

Why would you cripple yourself and restrict PowerShell at the very least which has perfect functionality for doing exactly that.
I doubt you could use the InfoPath data sources to pull the raw data in, re-map it and save to SharePoint without resorting to some sort of coding within InfoPath.
Please ensure that you mark a question as Answered once you receive a satisfactory response. This helps people in future when searching and helps prevent the same questions being asked multiple times.

How do I add dates from a web page into iCal?

Hello. I would love to find a way to input dates from a web page, into iCal as an event. Right now, if there is a conference or whatever that is on such and such a date, I have to keep the web page open that has the dates and time, and then open iCal, and create a new event on that date, etc. Is there a way to highlight said dates on a web page, run some automation, and voila, it is a new event in iCal?

Don't double tap. Just try pressing on the text. That should highlight it.

How to send data from a web dypro application using workflow

Hi All,
I am working on a web dynpro application where the user will enter the header and item details for a FI document to be posted. Once the user enters the data the workflow should initiate and should also send the data across to the approver to approve. To initiate the workflow I am using the function module 'SAP_WAPI_START_WORKFLOW' and it's working fine and generating a uniquw workflow item id. Now my main concern is how to send the data across from web dynpro application through the workflow. I have my data in three internal tables: 1. header table. 2. G/L table and 3. Currency table, I am capturing all this data from the web dypro screen entered by the user. Right now I have the following code in my web dypro application.

Dear Colleague,
You have different method to send parameters to Workflow.
1. Method
Container Set Element
DEFINE SWC_SET_ELEMENT.
CALL FUNCTION 'SWC_ELEMENT_SET'
    EXPORTING
      ELEMENT   = &2
      FIELD     = &3
    TABLES
      CONTAINER = &1
    EXCEPTIONS
      OTHERS    = 1.
END-OF-DEFINITION.
Set the data into Workflow container
    SWC_SET_ELEMENT IT_CONTAINER 'parameter1' lv_parameter1.
Start the Workflow
    CALL FUNCTION 'EWW_WORKFLOW_START'
      EXPORTING
        X_TASK          = 'WS90000001'   " your wf
      IMPORTING
        Y_WORKFLOW_ID   = WF_ID " your workitem id
      TABLES
        X_CONTAINER     = IT_CONTAINER
      EXCEPTIONS
        INVALID_TASK    = 1
        NO_ACTIVE_PLVAR = 2
        START_FAILED    = 3
        GENERAL_ERROR   = 4
        OTHERS          = 5.
2. Method,
You can also add your parameters direly to a container,
DATA: lt_simple_container TYPE TABLE OF swr_cont,
        ls_simple_container TYPE swr_cont.
ls_simple_container-element = 'parameter1'.
ls_simple_container-value = lv_parameter1.
APPEND ls_simple_container TO lt_simple_container.
CALL FUNCTION 'SAP_WAPI_WRITE_CONTAINER'
    EXPORTING
      workitem_id      = WF_ID " your workitem id
      do_commit        = 'X'
    TABLES
      simple_container = lt_simple_container.

How to select data from AZure table storage without row key and partition key

Hi
I need to select a data from azure table storage without rowkey and partition key. how in azure storage emulator click query it display all data from that table.
thanks
rajesh

Hi rajesh,
It seems that you didn't click query data using storage emulator. But I recommend you could use the azure server explore in your VS to view your data and query data. Please see this document (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/ff683677.aspx).
And base on my experience, you may need input the command on Azure storage emulator, such as this page(http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/gg433005.aspx).

How do I remove content from my web page without deleting it?

Hi,
I previously created a webpage using iWeb on the domain name that came with dot.mac (now Mobile Me). I want to remove it from the online page without deleting it (I may want to use the content later). I've used other software at work (Morello) and there you would "archive" it. Can anyone please advise how I do it on my Mac?
Thanks v much,
Tony

Tony:
You can cause an entire page to not show in the site by using the Inspector/Page/Page pane to remove its link in the navbar. That would preserve that page until you decide to reintroduce it into the site.
As for part of a page, the only way I could think of doing that is duplicating the page and remove the duplicate from the navbar. Then edit the original page to remove the content you want gone.

Copying data from a web page into Numbers

I frequently use a Keyword Density Analysis Tool on the web that displays three columns and perhaps 50 to 100 rows of data. There is no export or save to csv, so I just highlight the three columns, copy and paste into a blank Excel spreadsheet - and hey presto, I get three columns of data. that I can sort and analyse. When I do the same with Numbers I get three columns but all the data ends up in three rows - please see attached. Is there a simple way around this because I am trying to stop using Excel? Thanks./Volumes/garyloch/Public/Screenshots/Picture 2.png

The only way I was able to reproduce what you described is to run the script after copying a picture.
Here is a refined version.
It make two attempts to grab text items from the clipboard.
If both failed, it send an error message.
--[SCRIPT table2text]
Enregistrer le script en tant qu'Application ou Progiciel : table2text.app
déplacer l'application créée dans le dossier
<VolumeDeDémarrage>:Users:<votreCompte>:Library:Scripts:Applications:
Il vous faudra peut-être créer le dossier Applications.
Copiez vos données dans le Presse-papiers.
menu Scripts > table2text
Le presse-papiers sera alimenté par le composant Text ou utf8 du contenu initial.
+++++++
Save the script as an Application or an Application Bundle: table2text.app
Move the newly created application into the folder:
<startup Volume>:Users:<yourAccount>:Library:Scripts:Applications:
Maybe you would have to create the folder Applications by yourself.
Copy your block of datas to the Clipboard.
menu Scripts > table2text
The Clipboard will be filled with the text or the utf8 component of its original contents.

The data from my web page insert in SQL table as question marks

I use Farsi language in my web page for inserting customer data. The data that is inserted in webpage and submitted, showed as ???? in SQL table. A lot of developers say that I should use N' before the Unicode character, but I don't know how I can use it
in my code. I attached the code. Can someone say me where I should insert the N in my code?
protected void cmdInsert_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
//Checking the validation of required fields
if (cboCustomerType.Text == "" || cboTitle.Text == "" || SearchableName.Text == "" ||
FinalName.Text == "" || NationalID.Text == "" || BusinessID.Text == "" || MobilePhone.Text == "")
lblStatus.Text = "لطفا فیلدهای اجباری را حتما پر کنید";
return;
//define ADO.NET objects.
string insertSQL;
insertSQL = "INSERT INTO Customers(";
insertSQL += "CustomerType,CustomerTitle,CustomerFirstName,CustomerLastName,CompanyType,";
insertSQL += "CompanyName,SearchableName,FinalName,NationalCode,BusinessID,City,Address,PostalCode,";
insertSQL += "Zone,MobileNumber,WorkPhone1,WorkPhone2,HomePhone,FaxNumber,Email,Website,Note)";
insertSQL += "VALUES('";
insertSQL += cboCustomerType.Text + "','";
insertSQL += cboTitle.Text + "','";
insertSQL += CustomerFirstName.Text + "','";
insertSQL += CustomerLastName.Text + "','";
insertSQL += cboCompanyType.Text + "','";
insertSQL += CompanyName.Text + "','";
insertSQL += SearchableName.Text + "','";
insertSQL += FinalName.Text + "','";
insertSQL += NationalID.Text + "','";
insertSQL += BusinessID.Text + "','";
insertSQL += City.Text + "','";

insertSQL += MobilePhone.Text + "','";
insertSQL += Phone1.Text + "','";
insertSQL += Phone2.Text + "','";
insertSQL += HomePhone.Text + "','";
insertSQL += FaxNumber.Text + "','";
insertSQL += Email.Text + "','";
insertSQL += Website.Text + "','";
insertSQL += Note.Text + "')";
SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(connectionString);
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(insertSQL, con);
//try to open the database and execute the insert
int added = 0;
try
con.Open();
added = cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
lblStatus.Text = added.ToString() + "اضافه شد";
catch (Exception err)
lblStatus.Text = "Error inserting record.";
lblStatus.Text += err.Message;
finally
con.Close();
//If the insert succeed, refresh the customer list.
if (added > 0)
FillCustomerList();
Regards,

Because you're composing the SQL statement with string concatenation, you would put the "N" before the single quote,
VALUES(N'";
insertSQL += cboCustomerType.Text + "',N'";
insertSQL += cboTitle.Text + "',N'"; // ...etc
However, composing SQL statements with string concatenation is not a suggested practice because it's open to SQL injection (see:
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms161953(v=sql.105).aspx). A safer way to do this is to use command parameters to represent the values (see SqlCommand.Parameters
property). If you use parameters, you can specify parameter data type as SqlDbType.NVarchar, which will ensure your text values are passed in as Unicode. Also ensure that the columns in question are defined in the database table definition as Unicode (NVARCHAR
rather than VARCHAR).
Hope this helps, Bob

How get data from another web page?

I have my own interface..after i key In a keyword and click search, method post will post the data to server and server will response.write a HTML page that display the result based on the keyword i Key In. The problem is i want the result display on my own page. So how can i read the search result from the HTML page and display on my own design page? I use JSP to built my page. thanks

I dont know the following solution would solve ur problem, atleast u will get basic idea.
1st method
Create an inline frame (IE-IFrame etc), On pressing submit button, Post the data to required page (it might be some page on another server)and specify post target is ur inline frame.
if u want filter the result data and want to display in ur own way then send ur POST request to ur own JSP and use Http classes to read resend those data to other page (another server) and capture the results implement ur own logic to get desired data and resend to the requested browser
I hope it would solve ur problem
Cheers

Transfer palm data from PC to Mac without using the M100 - only exporting the data and importing?

I had an old Palm M100 that I haven't used in a while but I love the palm desktop app - my PC currently runs 4.1.4
I have a mac powerbook and I loaded 4.2.1
When I export my calendar and address book data in the .aba and .dba format from my PC - the Mac palm desktop app doesn't seem to recognize those file formats.
Are those not standard formats between the two platforms? It also looks like the Mac desktop app doesn't even recognize importing data from another Palm format? It just shows the other program formats.
Also, when importing as CSV or tab-delimeted those are extremely messed up also.
Any "easy" way to get the data off of my PC and onto my Mac without using the Palm M100 itself?
Thanks,
Dave
Post relates to: Palm m100

The suggestion is not accurate, at least with respect to calendar information. I'm in nearly the same situation, and just tried it. (Saving .dba file out of Windows Palm Desktop 4.1.0, importing into Mac Palm Desktop 4.2.1revD.)
First, the Mac program will not recognize the .dba as an importable format if one selects All Readable Documents.
Second, if one selects All Documents instead, you get the following error message:
The file could not be imported.
In order to import data from Windows Palm Desktop software, export the file in one of these formats: comma (.csv) or tab (.tab) delimited, vCard, or vCal.
The problem with this is that Windows Palm Desktop 4.1.0 offers only two options for exporting Date Book information:
1) the whole datebook as a .dba file.
2) individual calendar items as a vCal.
So far as I can see, there's no way to Select All so as to export all as a vCal, and no pre-set option to do so.

How to read and write data from Excel to TestStand without using LabVIEW VIs

Hi,
How can I read in columns of data from Excel into a TestStand array and write columns of data to Excel from TestStand without using LabVIEW VIs?
I don't think the Property Loader custom step type in TestStand will work because the data I would like to read in from Excel is in a column that is thousands of rows long and the data has to be in the proper format to use the Property Loader to load in an array from Excel.
Thanks for your help.

That example does not use LabVIEW and it does about 40% of what you need to do by calling Excel through ActiveX. If you don't know how to use Excel through ActiveX then you'll need to brush up on that.

Add TWO Edge Animations/Stages to ONE web page (without using oam)

Hi All,
This is a bit of a follow on question for those who are adding scalable height/width edge compositions to web pages using the awesome piece of code created by Sarah (http://sarahjustine.com/) and other forum contributors... (attached code below).
My question is: How do I add a second Edge Animate composition to the same page using this method? So it's using "Stage" already... i'm guessing it's a matter of changing it to "Stage_02" etc in the following code? I've tried changing the relevant code but so far I have been unsuccessful in getting it to recognise a second stage.
Any help would be appreciated, many thanks in advance for your time.

How can i take a full screen shot of a web page without using paparazzi?

I would like to take a full screen shot of a web page but scroll down to the page as well. i have downloaded paparazzi which seemed to be recommanded but I am not satisfied with what it does any other suggestion to get a clear picture of the page???

Hi Keith,
It doesn't have to be a movie. Snagit, for example can capture the complete browser window as an image which you can then save as a png, jpg, tiff, gif, bmp or snagit document. That's what I thought the OP wanted so I didn't suggest the built in screen captures.
Take care,
ivan
(To Philo9, I saved this with 80% quality, so it's not the best. You can save as full quality, png or tiff to get better than this. Click on it to see it full size.)
