          //This is where a real application would open the file.
          fileName=file.getName();
          //This is a file function to extract data from a file.
          //It reads data from a file that can be viewed on cmd
          jlab3.setText(fileName);
          try

jlab3.setText(fileName1);
in.close();
catch (Exception e)
System.err.println("File input error");
}If you want to read the complete file content you must uncomment lines inside while instruction, like this
while (in.available() > 0) { // I prefer to test in.available like this, instead of !=
// append text to a StringBuffer (variable named sb here) or directly in a textarea.
sb.append(in.readLine());

BI content and LO extraction difference

Hi ,
Please tell me
1) what is the main difference between BI content and LO extraction.
2) What happens when we install business content and what happens when we do LO extraction.why are we doing this extraction.?
3) Which process must be done first.
and LO is for logistics extraction i.e. SD,MM etc.(please correct if i am wrong)
4) what about extraction with respect to finance is there anything like LO extraction for finance also?
please explain in simple english.
regards
lap.

1) what is the main difference between BI content and LO extraction.
BI contenat means the objects delivered by SAP. This includes data sources, data providers, info objects, udate rules, transfer rules, reprots, etc etc.
LO extraction refers to the process of extracting logistics data.
So, these two are not comparables.
2) What happens when we install business content and what happens when we do LO extraction.why are we doing this extraction.?
When you install BI content, all the objects ( depending on the mode of collection in RSA1 - business content) and if they are already present in the system in which is installed, merge.
LO extraction, as said in 1. above, when you extract LO, depending on the application area, it extracts the transaction data. For example, if you chose extract Sales order information, it picsk all the sales order data from the R/3 system.
3) Which process must be done first.
You need to install the BI first before you start the LO extraction process.
and LO is for logistics extraction i.e. SD,MM etc.(please correct if i am wrong)
YES, you are right. LO referes to all LO processes such as SD, MM, PM, PP, QM, CS. etc.
4) what about extraction with respect to finance is there anything like LO
For all other extractors, there is no special steps like LO. However, for COPA and FISL there wont be any BI content data sources.

well,
I think you don't have to care too much about what did the R/3 consultant; of course what they have configured will be reflected in BW. The configuration impacts on how the data is populated and if your business objects are populated in R/3. It may or may not fit with the business requirement and sometimes it gets complicated to represent the data in BW.
But that's why we have the business content.
So you activate BC objects you need to report on in BW. LO datasources and extractors will be part of this activation. Then you connect both systems and extract this data. You'll have to check with your business req if your extraction reflects the R3 data as wanted by definition.
I a fresh server, you will then just customize and implement all the workbench necessary (IObjs, Cubes, ODS, transformations....). if your system is empty then you won't data to check! But you'll move your developpment to a BW QA or PROD sys which will be connected to a client in R3 having data (otherwise your SD consultants wouldn't be able to test either...)
Replication: when a DataSource has been changed in the source system (R3), the BW receiving structure has to be adjusted. this is done via the replication procedure.
The source system keeps a timestamp of when the DataSource has been reactivated the last time. BW has also this timestamp in its DataSource. When you change your DS in R3, the timestamp will be updated. If you request now data in BW from this DS, the system will complain because both DS (in BW and in R3) have different timestamps. That's why you have to replicate prior loading.
The replication may inactivate follow up objects like extract structure, transfer structure and TRules.
hope that helps...

Adobe Functional Content and the Creative Cloud

Hello All
To any Adobe Employee who may read this, can you please get someone at Adobe to take control of this issue and see that the library, templates and all other functional content gets packaged correctly and enabled as a download and "sub-install" for the parent product inside the Adobe Application Manager.
I think as subscribing users we should get better service and direction from Adobe in regards to this functional content. As I type this I have more than 10 tabs open, each one leading to a thread that has something to do with how to install and fix a problem with the Functional Content for After Effects, Premiere Pro and Encore.
See if you can in less than 30 minutes figure out exactly what to do to activate this content by reading these threads:

I have been very reluctant to do anything because I am reading a lot of conflicting and incomplete information. This link in particular, http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/multi/library-functional-content-missing.html, is really unhelpful because there are 3 methods to do something but reading it I am not sure if each method does the same thing or if each does one part of the 3 sets of missing Functional Content. Additionally "solution" 3 presents a place to put the content but then leaves out the path we are to do it to.
Most disappointing is the fact that the first "solution" did not get me the menu buttons I am looking for in Encore and I don't know if I screwed up or if the install was incomplete for some reason.
Do I now need to install one of the other "solutions"? Those of you in the community that are about to hit reply, please don't. Do not answer that question.
Here is why...
Adobe is responsible for delivering us customers a product. It is Adobe's responsibility to fix the mess that a number of paying customers are having regarding this Functional Content.
TO ADOBE:
Here is what I and I think a lot of other subscribers want you to do:
You already have a Solution in place. One that doesn't require a lot of user intervention and doesn't require anyone to pick a "solution" and screw it up, search for more help and spend hours of their time fixing a mess.
Adobe Application Manager. Create the proper installation packages. Put them on the servers, tell the AAM how to clean up the mess any users who have tried these "solutions" have made. Then have it install the proper packages as a "Sub-Installation" for each of the parent software that it is for.
This solution will not only make things better for us end users, but you will also make the manageability of the Functional Content easier for your teams as well. And if your teams wanted to add additional Functional Content to any program that is part of the creative cloud or that the Adobe Application Manager manages, then it would be a simple matter of creating an installation package and adding it to the AAM's list of installable programs.
You just did this exact thing with Lightroom 4.1! Why can you not do this for the Functional Content?!?
Back to the Community Members that want to answer my post. Don't. Instead if you agree with me or even if you don't, sign off on this thread or indicate your virtual thumbs down. Either way I don't want an answer, I want an action from Adobe, the only ones who can fix the mess.
I really believe that the Application Manager is the most elegant solution. If any of you have ever used Steam, you know what a great feeling it is when you can download a game demo, try it, buy it and just have everything take care of itself. I don't even have to worry about updates; Steam takes care of my games. And the thing that makes it really valuable? I DON'T PAY $50 A MONTH TO USE STEAM AND HAVE IT JUST WORK, IT IS FREE!
All I want at this point is Functional Content that I don't have to read a 50+ page manual to install. I know that is an exaggeration, but honestly if it is 1 badly written set of instructions or 50 what does it matter? I don't pay Adobe so I can read up on how to install their software; I just want to use it.
I guess I should also point out that this is now the second large hold up to my project that I started subscribing for. The first was a problem that I again had to figure out the solution to by working around it, when again Adobe seems to be unable to correct the problem, here, here, here and here.
And now here I am again at a slight stand still because I can't use my DVD authoring software to create a button on a Wedding DVD menu.
Okay, you can go ahead and reply... but I would still prefer no answers, just /agree or /disagree.

Did you even read the post?

For now though please reference Library, title templates, template projects missing: Premiere Pro, After Effects, Encore CS5 - CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/multi/library-functional-content-mi ssing.html for information on how to obtain the additional content.
Have you read the page in your link?
Can you correctly install from the instructions on that page?
And I quote:
Additional Solution: Install the Resource Central library content
Download the extra library content
Choose your language to begin the download:
English French German Japanese Italian Spanish Korean
Extract the Library content to the Library folder
Extract the zip file that you just downloaded. This will create a .7z file, eg. en-US.7z.
Extract the .7z file to any convenient location, eg. Desktop. This will create a folder based on the language you selected.
Copy the contents of the language folder (eg. en-US) to the following location:
Keywords: cpsid_85388
Where? Copy the contents to where? I don't see a path written there... is it a secret? Do I have to highlight the hidden text? Nooo... that didn't work...
Honestly I must appologize for my brashness and sarcastic attitude. I find it questionable to expect the paid subscribing creative but not technically inclined customers to do the work of fixing this problem when Adobe has the means and the tools to fix it for us.

Ok. Fair enough, I will admit that last night in my anger and frustration I was being a little childish.
But as a Community Professional don't you believe that you would be better served by Adobe if they were to make one easy simple Adobe Application Manager download for the content that should have been published right at the launch of the new version? Wouldn't your time be better spent actually working on your projects rather than fixing Adobe's mess and responding to people in 10 different forums trying to help them?
All of this also makes me wonder how Adobe prioitizes the "bugs" that people are dealing with. Wouldn't it be quick to put a someone or a couple of people on the problem of gathering the functional content and getting them to package it and ready it for publishing through the AAM? The process of adding it to the list of installs might be more complicated but a package that knows where to put the content? I would think that something like this could be give a get it done now priority as it would aleviate a lot of the forum posts and something like the missing export choices in Media Encoder or Premiere Multicamera Issues would take more time due to investigation and so you put them on a priority based on the number of users affected.
It just seems to me that a month after launching a new version is an awfull long time for the publishing of an update to add functional content that was in all the previous versions.
I guess I will stop "ranting" now. Thanks for responding Jeff AW, at least I have official word that there will be some sort of update on this issue.

Import of XML file failed in portal using XML Content and Action

Hi Friends,
I am trying to import the simple XML file which is just creating the folder in the PORTAL_CONTENT using XML CONTENT AND ACTIONS which is one way of creating the portal content. GO TO SYSTEM ADMINISTRATION > TRANSPORT > XML CONTENT AND ACTIONS > IMPORT.
The reason for using this import tool is to upload the backend Business roles, which is not not working on our corporate portal. To test the import functionality I used the following xml file (I got this XML file by exporting the test folder in the portal using the same tool)

OCR with WebCenter Content and Imaging

Hi,
I'm searching for some information about OCR with webcenter content and imaging.
I've seen that there are two solutions :
- WebCenter Capture
- Webcenter Forms Recognition
But I can't find if any of that product use lexical post-correction of OCR results. Is anyone have this information?
Thanks,
David

David:
Both products will use print (vs handwritten) character recognition to identify "tokens" from the image of a document with text. Capture usage focuses mainly on zonal recognition of information - what I would call structured forms processing. Forms Recognition is for information capture from semi-structured documents - say invoices, where you know that many fields are present, but their location differs from example to example. It can use patterns, text locators, etc to find the field. Both benenfit when there exists a reference DB of acceptable values, but that is not a requirement.
Lexical correction (as I understand it to mean) is not a feature of either. They are not going to try to validate extracted tokens based upon language analysis. I would try to use them to extract all of the tokens and then add some tool to do lexical analysis. You could do that as a separate, post OCR process, or try to see if you can fit it into an FR post-extraction EP.
Might I ask what the business problem you are trying to solve is?

Hello Prakash,
I apologize for posting this question in this column, but couldn't get a response from the other stream. So, was expecting if you could help me out.
We have recently upgraded our Testing Environment to NW2004s SP10, and the system is currently Non-Changeable and all the other changes have been brought in via transports.
After SGEN has completed, when I try to open up an existing InfoPackage and click on the "Start" button it gives me the "You have only authorization to display the "InfoProvider" name".
If it is the load into DSO it complains about Activity 23 not available for the Subobject UPDATERULE of the object S_RS_ODS and if it is an InfoCube it complains about Activity 23 again for the Subobject UPDATERULE of the object S_RS_ICUBE.
Which doesn't really make sense as the Activity 23 would allow the change to the Update Rules for the InfoProviders.
Please advice if there is any other Role or Profile which needs to be maintained or a system setting to avoid this Auth Check.
Also, the same when repeated in the Development environment shows the message "Generating the Update Program" in the status bar below and once that has completed, the extract works fine.
Please advice......
Any help would be really appreciated as we are kind of stuck on this issue.
Thanks
Dharma.

Prestaged Content and new Content Versions

I have a question concerning prestaged content in an SCCM 2012 R2 Environment. I have created several prestaged content files of some very large Applikations and Software Update Packages. In the meanwhile some of the Software Update Packages
have a new Content Version, because some expired Updates where removed from the Package.
So, if I now extract those Update Packages on a Distribution Point, the Content is not getting registrated as successfully distributed in the Content Monitoring Workspace, because the Content Version has increased in the meantime. I can
see that after Content is extracted successfully, the success Status Message is send to the Site Server, but the status stays on waiting for prestaged content.
I can’t sent a new USB Stick with the newer Version of those files to those offices and I can’t send the whole new Package via WAN to those office. I there a way to only create something like a delta prestaged content file or send only
the delta via WAN to those distribution point ?

See scenario #3 here: http://blogs.technet.com/b/configmgrdogs/archive/2015/03/11/different-scenarios-for-using-prestaged-content.aspx

Difference between "restore" and "erase all content and settings"?

Hello,
I was wondering what is the difference between "Restore" on itunes and "Erase all content and settings" on iphone?
Is it the same and if yes why does it take longer to "Erase all content and settings" on iphone?

The restore only deletes all the data and reinstalls the iPhone Operating System, but someone can still carve out deleted information if they know what they are doing. The erase all content and settings will delete and overwrite everything on the iPhone so it is impossible to even extract any data from the iPhone.
Personally I've only used the erase all content and settings when I've had to return my iPhone to Apple for technical difficulties or when I've sold an iPhone to someone else. There is no reason to do this method if you are simply reinstalling the Operating System for yourself.

HT4528 If i erase all content and settings will it erase my pictures and videos?

If i erase all my content and settings will it erase my pictures and videos?

On your phone - yes.
If the pictures are in your camera roll, extract them to your PC before doing the reset. If they were in albums that were synced to your phone they will remain on your PC.
If the videos were purchased via iTunes then you can just download them again. If they were your own videos - the same rules apply as your photos.

Error while accessing a library using content and structure

I have a library having document and folder inside it. When I open the library using content and structure I get an error with a correlation ID. When checked the the logs with Correlation ID got an error message "View 'All Document' does not exist."
'All Document' is name of default view on the library.
When I open the library from view all site content the library is being opened.
Please help!!!

Hello Victoria,
Thanks for the response.
I have tried troubleshooting steps given by you.
Check if the issue occurs with other users. Use another user to access the library in Content and Structure and then compare the results. --
I tried with different users but no luck
Make sure that the user account with issue has permission to view the All Documents view of the library. --
Yes, user Account have the permission
Check if the issue occurs with other libraries in the Content and Structure. If not, I recommend to save the library as
a template including contents and then create a new library based on this template. After that use the new library instead of the old library. --
No other library have this problem. I cannot save the library as template including the contents as the it has many folders and files. The current size of library is 786 MB
Clear cache in the browser or use another browser to see if the issue still occurs. --
tries but issue persists.
