Best way to export and import data from an iPhone app?

How do people here prefer to export and import data from an iPhone app?
For example, suppose your app creates or modifies a plist. It might be nice to provide that plist to the user for separate backup and later allow them to re-import it.
How do people do that? Email the plist to an address? If so, how would one later get it back in?
Is there a common way people do this kind of thing?
Thanks,
doug

Or maybe the best approach for this is some sort of file synchronization feature? Is there a way of having files from the app's filesystem automatically get stored on the computer's filesystem when synchronizing and vice-versa?

Best way to control and read data from multiple instruments?

Hello,
I'm building an application to test power supplies involving multiple pieces of equipment over a couple of different comm busses. The application will also send control instructions to some of the instruments, and read data from some of the instruments. The reading and control profiles will not run on the same schedule (variable length control steps, configurable read interval).
I was thinking of using a queued statemachine (producer/consumer) for the control profile and another to read the data, but I got concerned that there would be collisions between sending control commands and read commands to the same machine. Is there a suggested design pattern for implementing something like this?
Timing of the commands isn't critical down to the milisecond, but I need to collect reasonably accurate timestamps when the data is read. The same is true for the control commands.
Here are the instruments I'm going to use, if the are control, read, or both, and the communication method
Instrument Funtions Comm Method
Power Supply Read data Communicates to PMBus Adapter
PMBus to USB Adapter Read data USB (Non-Visa)
Switch control relays USB (VISA)
Power Dist. Unit read data/control outlets SNMP (Ethernet)
Electronic Load read data/control load GPIB (VISA)
Thermal Chamber read data/control temp Ethernet (VISA)
Thanks,
Simon

Hello, there is a template in LV called "Continuous measurement and Logging".
It can give you some idea how to properly decouple the "GUI Event handler" top loop (where your Event structure is) from the DAQ and other loops.
You do not need to totally replicate the above example, but you can find there nice tricks which can help you at certain points.
The second loop from the top is the "UI message loop". It handles the commands coming from the top loop, and regarding to the local state machine and other possible conditions and states, it can command the other loops below.
During normal run, the different instrument loops just do the data reading, but if you send a control command from the top loop to a certain instrument loop (use a separate Queue for every instrument loops), that loop will Dequeue the control command, execute it, and goes back to data reading mode (in data reading mode the loop Dequeu itself with a "data read" command automatically). In this way the control and data read modes happen in serial not in parallel which you want to avoid (but I think some instrument drivers can even handle parallel access, it will not happen in really parallel...).
In every instrument loop when you read a value, attach a TimeStamp to it, and send this timestamp/value couple to the DataLogging loop via a Queue. You can use a cluster including 3 items: Source(instrument)/timestamp/value. All the instrument loops can use the same "Data logging" Queue. In the Datalogging while loop, after Dequeue-ing, you can Unbundle the cluster and save the timestamp and data-value into the required channel (different channel for every instrument) of a TDMS file.
(Important: NEVER use 2 Event structures in the same top level "main" VI!)

Guide me for exporting and importing data from oracle 10g to oracle 9i

I have been trying export and import options in oracle but m not very clear about the procedure..
Also when i am logging in as Scott/tiger i am facing an error
ORA 1542 - tablespace 'USER' is offline and cannot allocate space in it.how to resolve it

Hello,
I see two questions.
ORA 1542 - tablespace 'USER' is offline and cannot allocate space in it.how to resolve it About the error ORA-01542 you have to bring the Tablespace USERS online:
http://www.error-code.org.uk/view.asp?e=ORACLE-ORA-01542
If you cannot bring it online you may have to Recover it first.
I have been trying export and import options in oracle but m not very clear about the procedure..About the Export in 10g and Import in 9i (9.2 or 9.0.1 ?), you have to export with the Export utility of the Target Database (the lowest Database version here: 9.0.1 or 9.2) then, you have to Import to the Target Database using its Import utility (in 9.0.1 or 9.2).
The following Note of MOS may guide you:

What is the best way to export and import updates between WSUS servers for specific KB's with environments that have different data sets?

We are under strict regulations and monitoring at my company. Because of this, we have to define what updates are being installed during a patch cycle by KB Article. Two production networks and one test network. The installed updates have to be the exact
same in the test environment, run for a few days with no problems, and then we install them in our production networks. The issue is, not all of the software in the environments is identical.
I need to figure out a way to take failed/needed updates from production that are unapproved, export that list so I can approve all of those updates in the test env.. Then once I approve those and any other needed updates in test, I need to be able to export
all approved updates from the test env (which includes the needed ones from production) and import those approvals in production.
How can this be done?
Thanks!

the easiest way will be to use a single wsus infrastructre for all your environments.
Tis blog article explains how to duplicate the approvals over groups:

What is the best way to load and convert data from a flat file?

Hi,
I want to load data from a flat file, convert dates, numbers and some fields with custom logic (e.g. 0,1 into N,Y) to the correct format.
The rows where all to_number, to_date and custom conversions succeed should go into table STG_OK. If some conversion fails (due to an illegal format in the flat file), those rows (where the conversion raises some exception) should go into table STG_ERR.
What is the best and easiest way to archive this?
Thanks,
Carsten.

Hi,
thanks for your answers so far!
I gave them a thought and came up with two different alternatives:
Alternative 1
I load the data from the flat file into a staging table using sqlldr. I convert the data to the target format using sqlldr expressions.
The columns of the staging table have the target format (date, number).
The rows that cannot be loaded go into a bad file. I manually load the data from the bad file (without any conversion) into the error table.
Alternative 2
The columns of the staging table are all of type varchar2 regardless of the target format.
I define data rules for all columns that require a later conversion.
I load the data from the flat file into the staging table using external table or sqlldr without any data conversion.
The rows that cannot be loaded go automatically into the error table.
When I read the data from the staging table, I can safely convert it since it is already checked by the rules.
What I dislike in alternative 1 is that I manually have to create a second file and a second mapping (ok, I can automate this using OMB*Plus).
Further, I would prefer using expressions in the mapping for converting the data.
What I dislike in alternative 2 is that I have to create a data rule and a conversion expression and then keep the data rule and the conversion expression in sync (in case of changes of the file format).
I also would prefer to have the data in the staging table in the target format. Well, I might load it into a second staging table with columns having the target format. But that's another mapping and a lot of i/o.
As far as I know I need the data quality option for using data rules, is that true?
Is there another alternative without any of these drawbacks?
Otherwise I think I will go for alternative 1.
Thanks,
Carsten.

What is the Best way To Copy and paste data from 1 book to another

I have 18 sheets in 5 different books that I want to extract data from specific cells. What is the best way to do this? Example: 1 sheet is called Numbers E-O1 data in 13:WXYZ. The data updates and moves up 1 row every time I enter
a new number. So let's say I enter the number 12. Through a lot of calculations the output goes in 13:WXYZ. To what I call a counter which is a 4 digit number. Anyways, how can I send that 4 digit number to a totally different sheet? To bullet
what I'm talking about
data in cells Row 13:WXYZ in book called Numbers sheet E-O1
send data to book called "Vortex Numbers" Sheet E-O row 2001:CDEF
What formula or Macro can I use to make this work?
thank you!

Hello Larbec,
Syntax:
'[BookName]SheetName'!Range
Enter in cell 2001:CDEF:
='[Numbers]E-O1'!13:WXYZ
This assumes that the file is open in Excel. Otherwise you need to add the path:
'ThePath[BookName]SheetName'!Range
Best regards George

Exporting and importing data from memory

Hi Gurus,
Written 2 programs.
1st program executes and submits 2nd program in background.
Now the output in internal table which we get in 2nd program has to be displayed in 1st program.
My taught is to use Set ID and GET ID to retrieve the data.
How can we achive this?

Hi,
You can pass the internal table by using
export to memory id
and import that internal table in the called program.
Use SUBMIT ....AND RETURN.

Best way to browse and read data from a lot of files?

Hi All,
I am trying to read tags from music files. Currently I'm listing all the files and then reading through the tags, as below:
List<File> result = new ArrayList<File>();
FilenameFilter mp3filter = new FilenameFilter() {
     public boolean accept(File dir, String name) {
          return name.endsWith(".mp3");
FilenameFilter wmafilter = new FilenameFilter() {
     public boolean accept(File dir, String name) {
          return name.endsWith(".wma");
FileFilter dirFilter = new FileFilter() {
     public boolean accept(File file) {
          return file.isDirectory();
File[] dirList = aStartingDir.listFiles(dirFilter);
File[] mp3files = aStartingDir.listFiles(mp3filter);
File[] wmafiles = aStartingDir.listFiles(wmafilter);
List<File> filesDirs = Arrays.asList(dirList);
List<File> filesMp3 = Arrays.asList(mp3files);
List<File> filesWma = Arrays.asList(wmafiles);
for (File file : filesMp3) {
     result.add(file);
for (File file : filesWma) {
     result.add(file);
for (File file : filesDirs) {
     List<File> deeperList = getFileListing(file);
     result.addAll(deeperList);
}and then read the files in a for loop through the list.
Is there a better way to do the same?

Well, you could optimize that just a little bit by only calling listFiles once with a filter that would accept directories, wmas, and mp3s all in one go. Then you could iterate through the results and separate them into the three categories after you had the complete recursive directory listing. That may be faster. But your OS will likely cache the results of the directory listing, thus minimizing the effort of your current approach. But honestly, no... you need the headers from every file, so you'll need to find each file and then check the headers.
If you want, you can cache the results somewhere for future reference. Are you concerned about performance or some such?

Is there any way to export IT Resource data from OIM using the export tool?

Hello,
we are trying to migrate an OIM development environment to a preproduction environment and we need to migrate more than 400 IT Resources. We have exported some IT Resources and when we imported them in the preproduction environment their data was not migrated. Is there any way to export IT Resource data from OIM using the export tool? Or is there any other way to do this without doing it by hand?
Thank you for your help
Kind Regards

Well , OIM doesnot provide any such facility to export ITResource data along with ITResource .
Directly updating the DB could be an option ..
Thanks

What is the easiest way to export all tables data from Oracle to MS SQL Server?

Hello MS,
I would like to export all tables from Oracle 11.2 to MS SQL Server 2012 R1.
Using the tool "Microsoft SQL Server Migration Assistant v6.0 for Oracle" did not work for me because there are too many warnings and errors regarding the schema creation (MS cannot know it because they are not the schema designer). My idea is
to leave/skip the schema creation to the application designer/supplier and instead concentrate on the Oracle data export and MS SQL data import.
What is the easiest way to export all tables data from Oracle to MS SQL Server quickly?
Is it:
- the „MS SQL Import and Export Data“ Tool
- the “MS SQL Integration Services” Tool
- not Oracle dump *.dmp format because it is a propritery binary format
- flat file *.csv (delimited format)
Thanks!

Hi lingodingo,
If you want to directly export all tables from Oracle database to SQL Server, I suggest you use SQL Server Import and Export Wizard. Because you just need to follow the wizard with GUI, this is the easiest way.
If you want to make some modification for the tables‘ data before loading to SQL Server, I suggest you use SQL Server Integration Services package. For more details, please refer to the following similar thread:

I have presently stored the data in nvarchar2 field. But i am not able to display it correctly.

Using the national characterset should work but there are other factors that you have to consider when working with NCHAR/NVARCHAR2/NCLOB.
If possible, changing the characterset is usually the best solution if it's a possiblity for you.

Exported user from the old server and imported in the new server.
i.e: from Oracle8i Enterprise Edition Release 8.1.7.0.0, I did

Then on the new server Release 9.2.0.1.0, I did

I'm using Arabic Language on my both servers. NLS_LANG parameter on both the servers is AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8MSWIN1252.
On both the servers I'm able to insert and select data in arabic.
However, after I export the data from old server to the new server, the arabic data comes in question marks.
If I create new table and insert arabic data on new server's user abc it is displaying well. Only the data which I exported and imported is not showing arabic.
On both old and new servers operating system is Windows XP.
I'm stuck with this problem. Anybody having any idea about how to solve this problem please help.
Thank you all in advance.
Regards

Let me be clear here. Storing Arabic data in a WE8MSWIN1252 database is not supported by Oracle and will lead to problems. You are incorrectly using the NLS_LANG to prevent proper conversion and your data appears to be okay when you use utilties like SQL*PLUS to view your data. When you write applications that don't rely on the NLS_LANG like JDBC thin driver for instance you will realize your data is in fact invalid. To learn more about the NLS_LANG you can take a look at this FAQ: http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/globalization/htdocs/nls_lang%20faq.htm
To migrate your database to a proper character set you can refer to this paper:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/globalization/pdf/mwp.pdf
But please do not ask for help in supporting your current configuration in this forum.
