Best way to collect data from a PDF?

What is the best way to collect 3 pieces of data that can be exported to Excel from a PDF that was created from a webpage?
I thought about using a form, but I would need the form to stay with the PDF. Is it possible to attach a form that would open side by side with my PDF where I can type the data, then somehow export the data into Excel?
Is it better to use insert comments, which looks like they can be exported as well?
Many thanks.

Hi,
You could save your data using TDMS as well as ASCII to simply load it in another application later.
Attached VI shows you how to save your data to a File after a certain amount of iterations, you can combine this then with your code and a timestamp.

Best way to extract data from archived cube

Hello Experts,
Can anyone tell me best way to extract data from archived cube.
Basically I am trying to pull all the data from archived cube and then load it into another brand new infoprovider which is in different box.
Also I need to extract all the master data for all infoobjects.
I have two options in my mind:
1) Use open hub destination
or
2) Infoprovider>display data>select the fields and download the data.
Is it really possible to extract data using option (2) if records are too high and then load it into another infoprovider in new system.
Please suggest me the pros and cons for the two options.
Thanks for your time in advance.

Hello Reddy,
Thanks a lot for your quick reply.
Actually in my case I am trying to extract archived infocube data and then load it into new infoprovider which is in different system. If I have connectivity I can simply export data source from archived infocube and then reload into new infoprovider.
But there is no connectivity between those two systems (where archived cube is and new infoprovider) and so I am left with the two options I mentioned.
1) Use Open Hub
or
2) Extract data manually from infoprovider into excel.
Can anyone let me know which of the two options is the best and also I doubt on how to use excel in extracting data as excel have limit of no.of records 65536
Thanks

Best way to transfer data from other computer

I'm wondering what is the fastest, or most reliable way to transfer data from another computer to my G5. I've skimmed through manual for G5 and it seems to list several options, if I'm understanding it correctly.
1. Using Airport Extreme
2. Using Bluetooth
3. Hooking up a local Ethernet connection
4. Setting up a Firewall connection?
I want to be able to transfer a completed iDVD project created on an iMac G3 to my G5 for burning the DVD. And which method (if any) will work with a non-Mac computer?
Anyone know the advantages, disadvantages of the transfer methods?

If you have a high-speed connection, another easy & fast way to transfer files between computers is through AIM (AOL Instant Messenger).
iChat has the same ability of transferring large files as AIM.

How is the best way to send data from local database into remote database ?

Hi all,
I need to send data from local Oracle database into remote oracle database. Both sites connected via 128 kbps frame relay connection.
The sending need to be done once a week, can be done nightly.
How is the best way to do this ?
Thank you very much,
xtanto

How is the best way to do this ?How much are you planning to send?
You can use COPY command. Ensure that you have valid database link between two databases.
Available options are:
create - creates a new table. errors out if the destination table exists.
replace - drop the destination table and re-creates with data.
insert - inserts data if the destination table exists.
append– appends data into an existing table.
use set arraysize 5000 -The arraysize specifies the number of rows that SQL*Plus will retrieve from the database at one time.
copy from scott/tiger@ORCL to scott/tiger@ORCL92 create new_emp using select * from emp;

What is the best way to append data from one field to another?

I have the following table, table1:
Name Null? Type
MAIL_ID NOT NULL NUMBER(10)
LAST_NAME VARCHAR2(45)
FIRST_NAME VARCHAR2(45)
MIDDLE_INITIAL VARCHAR2(1)
ADDRESS_1 VARCHAR2(45)
CITY VARCHAR2(35)
STATE VARCHAR2(2)
ZIP VARCHAR2(10)
REMARKS VARCHAR2(200)
The table has duplicate entries that need to be removed. The records that will be removed need the
data in the Remarks column appended to the Remarks data of the record that is not deleted.
For example, the following listing shows a sample of the duplicate records.
Mail ID Last Name First Name M Address City St ZIP Remarks
189 BROWN STEPHEN 6706 MOESER LN EL CERRITO CA 94530-2909 Sf7#s124,f16#d7996(NML)[Cl#117][Ml#1649][NMf1#d288][NCf9#d319][SNl#e62]
211023 BROWN STEPHEN B 6706 MOESER LN EL CERRITO CA 94530 RLl#a12047[IDl#i398]
287796 BROWN STEPHEN B 6706 MOESER LN EL CERRITO CA 94530 SNl#e1163
The following listing shows how the kept record should appear after the duplicate records are deleted.
Mail ID Last Name First Name M Address City St ZIP Remarks
189 BROWN STEPHEN 6706 MOESER LN EL CERRITO CA 94530-2909 Sf7#s124,f16#d7996(NML)[Cl#117][Ml#1649][NMf1#d288][NCf9#d319][SNl#e62]RLl#a12047[IDl#i398]SNl#e1163
I have the process of deleting duplicates working but have yet to determine the best way to move
the Remarks data from the deleted records to the preserved record.
I know there are probably various ways to approach this.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!
Here is the sql for deleting duplicates.
DELETE FROM table1
WHERE mail_id in (SELECT mail_id FROM table1
          where not first_name = 'Null' and
not last_name = 'Null' and
          not city = 'Null' and
          not state = 'Null'and
not last_name = 'Anon'
          minus
          select min(mail_id) from table1
          group by first_name, last_name, city, state, address_1, organization, title);
THANKS in advance!!!!

Here's quick and dirty example probably a better way to do it, but this is what I came up with quickly.
My table looks like this:
MAIL_ID LAST FIRST PHONE REMARKS
123 Ruff Shawn 555-555-5555 Called 10-10-04
135 Ruff Shawn 555-555-5555 Called 10-12-04
201 Ruff Shawn 555-555-5555 Called 10-19-04
The code below will concatenate the remarks column from the rows, and delete the 135 and 201 rows, then update the 123 row with the concatenated remarks.
declare
l_remarks varchar2(500);
l_min_mail_id number;
begin
select min(mail_id) into l_min_mail_id
from test
group by last, first, phone;
select remarks into l_remarks from test where mail_id = l_min_mail_id;
for i in (select mail_id, remarks from test
     where last = 'Ruff'
          and first = 'Shawn'
          and phone = '555-555-5555'
          and mail_id <> l_min_mail_id)
loop
l_remarks := l_remarks||','||i.remarks;
delete from test where mail_id = i.mail_id;
end loop;
update test set remarks = l_remarks where mail_id = l_min_mail_id;
commit;
end;
Hope this helps.

What is the best way to save data from GPIB Device in a file?

HI!
I have a Keithley SourceMeter and want to save readings in a File along with settings on the front panel and timestamps plus several other infos. What is the best way to do this? Which file type? Any recommendations or hints could help me?
Thanks

Hi Andy,
There are 3 main file formats that you can consider writing your data out to in LabVIEW:
ASCII
Binary
Datalog
ASCII
ASCII files are useful because every operating system and almost every application can read/write ASCII format files. Use ASCII files when:
Other users or applications will need to access the data file.
You will not need to perform random access file I/O
File I/O speed is not crucial
Disk space is not crucial
Examples within LabVIEW Example Finder: Fundamentals >> File Input and Output >> Write to Text File.vi and Read from Text File.vi
Binary
Binary byte stream files are more specific to data storage and retrieval. Use b
inary files when:
File I/O will remain in LabVIEW only -- no other applications will be needing to write/read that file. There is no standard formatting for binary files and thus other applications or operating systems may be unable to read the file.
Files are smaller than ASCII files
Easier and faster random access to data
Examples within LabVIEW Example Finder: Fundamentals >> File Input and Output >> Write Binary File.vi and Read Binary File.vi
Datalog
When to use datalog:
If you need to record data with a mixture of types, it can be cumbersome to convert everything to ASCII or to keep track of the binary formatting.
Datalog format is binary and internal to LabVIEW, so again only use this format if no other applications or operating systems will be needing to perform file I/O on the file.
Examples within LabVIEW Example Finder: Fundamentals >> File Input and Output >> Write Datalog File
Example.vi and Read Datalog File Example.vi
Good luck!

What is the best way to retrive data from a Global Variable?

Here is what I want to do,
I have several PC's that run different types of tests. I want to use a global variable, running on a single PC, that acts like a sever that can be accessed by the other PC's in my lab. This Global variable will store the hostnames of the different PC's that are currently running each test, along with a description of the test. Then, a user can access this Global variable to read the different values and select the PC and connect to it's desktop using Remote Desktop in Windows.
Is it possible to write data to the Global variable that is running on the single PC?
What is the best way to do this? Does anyone have a sample VI?
What is the best way to then read the data from the Global variable?
(I will probably use an array\cluster to store the hostnames.)

Another pre-LV8 idea...
A functional global can be accessed using VI-Server and called using "call by reference".
This approach harnesses the TCP functionality built into the VI-Server to manage the conncetion.
This can be pretty quick and (if the functional global is written correctly) will support buffered- mixed data types. (Try to do that with the Shared Variable ).
Just another idea,
Ben

Best way to store data from a plot on hard drive

I have a DAQ set-up that will be on 24/7 for several days, and the whole time it's streaming data to an XY-Graph with a limited buffer. My question is, what's the best way to store my plot data in such a way that I can empty out my plot every few hours but if I want to pull up data from a few hours ago I would just have an option on my initial VI to view any old saved plot data.
Basically, I'm trying to not overload my RAM with all my plot data so I'd like to save it to the hard drive while my VI is running, and only display, for example the last 8 hours worth of data... I've been looking at TDMS, but I'm not sure if that's the right solution.
much thanks!

Best way to recieve Datas from MII in SAP

Hi everybody,
We are discussing which way is the best to get data to SAP when SAP is the initiator.
We tesed RFC but it looks like that if I call a transaction in MII as a rfc I can only send data and it is not possible to recieve data in this way. Can somebody confirm that?
To send data to MII we usually use IDOCs when SAP is the initiator.
To send data to SAP we usually use rfc when MII is the initiator.
To send data to MIIwe usually use rfc when MII is the initiator
But what can we use if we want to send data to SAP and SAP is the initiator?
Thanks for your help.
Regards,
Matthias

Hi,
thanks for your quick answer.
Is it possible to use an rfc in ABAP-Code and recieve data?
I think this is not possible.
Our Business-case:
A user starts an SAP-Programm (e.g. custom transaction) where he has some informations to a machine.
In this program we also want to see data from MII.
it should be something like this in ABAP-code:
CALL FUNCTION mii_transaction DESTINATION mii_dest
parameter_list.
But I read in a help-file that it is only possible to send information not to recieve. Is this correct?
Or is it also possible to recieve data from mii like this (in parameter_list)?
Regards,
Matthias

Best way to sync data from temp database back to primary one?

Hello all!!
I'm trying to figure the best way to remedy this situation.
I have a RAC cluster...and one instance went down...some problems with all nodes running, etc. Anyway, while working with Oracle support, I was able to get one node up with sqlplus, and I ran a datapump export, and move that file to a test server I have...as that this was the quickest solution, and I was able to get my developers up and running again on the new server.
I've been working with Oracle support for weeks now...and now all instances on the main RAC cluster all seem to be up and running now.
The trouble is...the instance that was 'moved' to the test server...has had a LOT of work on it in many of the schemas it contains. I need to move the developers back to the main unit where backups are taken and more horsepower for load testing, etc.
What is the best way for me to sync the main server up with the changes made in these weeks on the test server.
Would it be best to take a datapump export from the test box.....move it over to the main server, and basically then....truncate all non-system schemas and just import from the test server (with changes) back onto the main server?
Any other suggestions?
Thank you in advance,
cayenne
ps. Both main and test servers are same version of Oracle 11Gr2 RAC. No rman backups currently being taken on test server, not in archive log mode on test server.

The trouble is...the instance that was 'moved' to the test server...has had a LOT of work on it in many of the schemas it contains. I need to move the developers back to the main unit where backups are taken and more horsepower for load testing, etc.What is the nature of the work? Cleaned and filtered data? New code/stored procedures/triggers/metadata?

What is the best way to move data from one array to another

I'm going to be moving data from one array to a larger array on the same RAID but different controller. (I have some extra extra drives I'm also going to be installing Retrospect so I can't just restore from a backup.)
The RAID has 450GB of production files, fonts etc.
What is the best way to move the data over?
I saw that someone had suggested using ditto. Would that be better than MacMV?
I also own Bru LE so I could use that.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Paul

Ditto is a great option -- probably the best.
ditto -rsrc src_folder /Volumes/targetvolume/targetfolder

Best way to move data from page to page inside app

Hi all I started writing this and it got way to complicated to explain in full without a novel.
Breif description. I am using query string that starts in the parent window (from href in json file) it then has to be moved into the iframe url when moving to other pages to avoid security as page and iframe are conflicting http and https. and cannot be accessed.. it seems there must be a better way.
So my question is what is the best way in open platform to move data from one page to another?

Hi Liam
Small data just a webapp ID and I am using the URL. But if you pass a ID say from Json ie "href":"/Admin/AppLoader.aspx?client_id=dev-name&ID=111111" it gets passed to the page url. This can be referenced using document.referrer initially. As the app is inside another frame and url that is https there is security issue using parent.location between https and http. Fine but then if you move to a new page referrer is no longer as there is no real referrer and you have to use location but you cannot. Now the work around is to pass the value from the page url to the app url at the start. and then you get around http https security issue when using parent.location but this seems convoluted and like a work around. Is this really the only way or the best way or a bad way. without using other ways that seem over kill for 6 odd characters.
