Binary Conversion of file in Emigall(why)

Can any one tell me what is the purpose of converting the file to binary before loading through EMIGALL?Why is it necessary?I have checked the file On application server in the directory where file after binary conversion is placed.I was expecting it to be in binary format i mean combination of 0's and 1's.But it was not.So can anyone please elaborate.
Thanks

Hi Arya
Very strange question.
There's only one valid file format for the EMIGALL upload files at the moment, so obviously the file has to match that particular format.
Not absolutely sure why we chose this file format instead of a delimited TXT file (it was a very long time ago), two things spring to mind:
Inclusion of "special" characters in the content, that could also be used as column delimiter, without compromising the file layout
Incorrect file layout, like missing or additional columns compared to the EMIGALL customising, easier to identify and more likely to fail
Please note, I don't want to start a discussion here why one format is better than another. Simply accept it, it's not a big deal and move on.
I am certain your file is in binary format, you only use the wrong editor to display the file
Yep

  • ASCII to binary conversion

    Does anyone knows how to convert the ASCII value to binary? For example
    ASCII 'U' to 01010101?

    Hi,
    If I understood you correctly, you want to convert a character eg:'U' to
    its ASCII value which is 85 (in binary representation 01010101).
    With the following method you can convert the first character of a string to
    a one byte long unsigned integer.
    method BaseClass.CharToInt(input pStr: Framework.string): Framework.ui1
    begin
    return *(pointer to ui1)(*(pointer to pointer)(&pStr));
    end method;
    See also the attached .pex file for some more, usefull little methods...

  • How can I disable the automatic hiding of known file attachments, and why are always about 10 internet pages where I have to download something if i use firefo

    How can I disable the automatic hiding of known file attachments, and why are always about 10 internet pages where I have to download something when I use mozila firefox?
    Windows Computer

    1) If you are talking about the file names on the computer, there is a
    setting to turn off known file types. Open your file browser. Then
    just under the location bar, press '''Tools,''' then '''Folder Options.'''
    A new window will open. Select '''View.''' Look for
    '''Hide Extensions For Known File Types.'''
    2) Never NEVER '''NEVER''' download anything unless you know what
    it is. If a web site claims it needs to download something, what is it?
    It could be something like the flash player, '''or a virus ! !'''
    Ask questions, or go somewhere else.

  • The ipad won't sync some photos, saying the file can't be read by the ipad, however it will sync some photos taken at the same time which are the same size and file type.  Why does it reject some and accept others?

    The ipad won't sync some photos, saying the file can't be read by the ipad, however it will sync some photos taken at the same time which are the same size and file type.  Why does it reject some and accept others?

    Hi there. I'm having the same problem: my iPad won't import some photos from a folder, saying that they can't be read. They are all JPEGS and some photos taken at the same time have synched fine, but out of a folder with 200 photos, it only lets me synch 37. I'm synching albums created via Photoshop Elements 6, which has worked fine until now.
    I've tried deleting all photos and re-synching, and have also deleted the iPod Photo Cache, but it hasn't made a difference.
    The iPad auto-updated to the latest version of iTunes, so maybe that's what's causing it?
    Any advice gratefully received!

  • Content Conversion in File Receiver Adapter

    Hi,
    I am doing a Content Conversion in File Receiver Adapter.
    Input to the Adapter is:
    <ns1:FileResponse_MT xmlns:ns1="http://www.bpmtest.com/bpm">
         <OrderID>123</OrderID>
         <Quantity>98</Quantity>
        <Price>76.23</Price>
    </ns1:FileResponse_MT>
    Desired output is:  <b>OrderID# Quantity# Price (123#98#76.23)</b>
    I tried to accomplish this with different settings in ‘Recordset Structure’ and ‘Conversion Parameters’ but could not achieve it, every time an empty file is produced.
    Would appreciate any help on this.
    Best Regards,

    Hi,
    Enclose your structure with a parent element like this.
    <ns1:FileResponse_MT xmlns:ns1="http://www.bpmtest.com/bpm">
    <parent>
      <OrderID>123</OrderID>
      <Quantity>98</Quantity>
      <Price>76.23</Price>
    </parent>
    </ns1:FileResponse_MT>
    Then give the parameters, it will work.
    parent.fieldSeparator = '#'
    parent.endSeparator = 'nl'

  • PhE11: No possibility to sort my pictures by file name !  Why not ?? (Like in PhE 9)  Tha

    There is in PHE 11 Editorno longer a possibility to sort my pictures by file name !  Why not ?? (Like in PhE 9)  That creates a big problem working with my thousands of files !

    dear Brett N
    I am a new macbook user forced to give up Digital Image Pro (winXP), and looking for a photo program that sorts BY NAME. REPEAT BY NAME.
    I was ready to purchase PSE11, but luckily I read this forum and saw that in your infinite wisdom you spared every expense and removed this function.
    I have no need for face recognition, type of photo, etc.
    Should I abandon 15 years of files all sorted by where they were taken?
    I think not. For you to do this to previous owners shows a blatant disregard for them.
    I will look elsewhere and not to a Photoshop product.
    Should you provide an update that corrects this I would consider installing it on my 2 new Apple machines. Hurry though......

  • When importing RAW files in Photoshop why does camera raw 8.6 only import 1 size?

    When importing RAW files in Photoshop why does camera raw 8.6 only import 1 size from canon 5d mark iii, in older versions I used to be able to import the files as larger images. It use to have a number of options for the images size. The option now is smaller than the maximum size used to be.

    You know what - I'm sorry
    I'd had a crazy long all-nighter session sorting out images for a client, then decided - when I should have simply gone to bed - to set up the new photoshop. At the very start I made a silly mistake, tried to sort it out then decided to call it a day, responding to your remarks with the problem still in my head but feeling more and more tired.
    Responded again to your comment earlier with the problem still in my head but not in front of me on the screen - however with a fresh head I just turned it all on, opened up PS and today could instantly see what was going on - Oops!
    Thank you for being patient with a sleep deprived photographer who must have been getting annoying yesterday
    I am officially embarrassed

  • Query regarding file content conversion using file adapter

    Hi All
    I have a question regarding file content conversion in file adapter.
    I have a file coming in the following format.
    AA,111,222,333
    BB,444,555,666
    CC,777,888,999
    My incoming message structure has a hierarchy. The CC record is a structure part of BB record. BB record is a structure part of AA record. It is like this:
    AA,111,222,333
    <<BB,444,555,666>>
    <<<<CC,777,888,999>>>>
    After file content conversion, in the resulted xml, i am getting a flat hierarchy instead of nested hierarchy.
    Is it possible to get a nested hierarchy as a result of file content conversion?
    Please let me know
    Thanks
    Chandra

    Hi Udo
    According to your suggestion, I am trying to use mapping.
    I am getting a flat file and i am reading it.
    This is my source structure:
    AA,11,22,33
    BB,44,55,66
    CC,77,88,99
    This is my required targer structure:
    AA,11,22,33
    <<BB,44,55,66>>
    <<<<CC,77,88,99>>>>
    To explain this, BB record can have multiple records of CC records.
    AA records can have multiple records of BB record.
    I am using removecontext node function.
    CC (Source)  (removecontext)-> CC (target structure)
    But here, when i rightclick on source CC field in the mapping editor, i cannot see any other context except root node. So, how can i proceed here??
    Many Thanks

  • Error Message: Conversion of file content to XML failed at position 0: sun.

    Hi Experts,
    i strugle with a File 2 IDOC Scenario.
    In the sender communication channel monitoring I get the error message:
    Conversion of file content to XML failed at position 0: sun.io.MalformedInputException
    Unfortunately I am not getting any further information and I do not know where the file-adapters problem is.
    Tthe .fieldSeparator = # . Can this be the problem, that the file-adapter-engine can not handle # within file conversion? I also tried it with .fieldSeparator = '#' . But the error message is the same.
    I am glad for any hints.
    Thank you for your help in advance.
    Regards,
    Udo

    Hi Udo,
    The error is due to wrong intput.
    putting # might be a reson.
    You Can try (,) or a space as a field separater.
    Can you test this once.
    Have to defined the field separated?

  • Why is the version file smaller than the original file, although I didn't make changes in the file? And why is the keywords don't exporting with original files?

    Hi! Why is the version file smaller than the original file, although I didn't make changes in the file? And why is the keywords don't exporting with original files?

    Wild guess: you're using the the wrong export settings. You'll need to tell us more before we can help you - like the export settings you're usng, the size and format of the originals etc.

  • Favourite file manager and why

    What's everyone's favourite file manager, and why? I'm using XFE in Openbox atm, and am impressed, but wonder if there's somthing else out there that's easier to customize/faster/has a better interface.
    Your thoughts?

    Konqueror is my favourite. It just has lots of nice little extras. Somebody earlier mentioned the kioslaves, like fish:// and the like, so I can just do fish://HomeServer, and as if by magic I am seamlessly yet securely browsing files on my home network server at my non-university home all the way over in Berkshire, which often comes in handy
    The command line has its uses since you can be so specific and yet so general at the same time, allowing you to do some stuff that would be a bit of a pain in Konqueror or whatever, likely involving a lot of Ctrl-clicking and stuff,  but then again it doesn't have cool things like file previews, drag and drop, etc. File previews are really good because sometimes on a bad day you might just make some really bad file naming decisions, and having to open 10 .pdf files to find the one you want is no fun at all
