Cleansing address in native source alphabet instead of Latin alphabet,

Hi, I have a request that client wants to cleanse data in their native language. For e.g.. if I pass CYRILLIC or GREEK data to Global Address Cleanse transform then it must clean the data and provide output in respective CYRILLIC or GREEK alphabet. As of now I know that Global Address Cleanse transform will provide output in Latin alphabet though it would be in Native language. For e.g. Global Address Cleanse transform will provide city name as Moskova not Moscow.
Is there any setting in Global Address Cleanse transform that I can make to get data in native alphabet instead of Latin alphabet?
Thanks,

Thanks for the reply. You may be right for other countries data but I was interested in CYRL data of Russian federation. From my testing with russian data I realized that setting 4 char script code is to tell GAC what is the script ciode for input data. I got output in latin alphabet.
Below is what we got from SAP.
At present SAP does not have detailed Russian Address Directories data (country specific Russia directory) or therefore, native Cyrillic address reference data. The only reference data they have for Russian addresses is via the All World Directories, which contains Latin data for Russia.
FYI: We are on BODS 4.0.
Thanks,

Set the bookmarks to be unsorted, or maybe "sort by added". Use the Views menu in the toolbar in the bookmarks Library window.

Whenever I am listening to itunes on my iphone and plug it in to my USB in my car radio, the song stops and instead the first alphabetical song is played. Does anyone have any ideas?!

Whenever I am listening to itunes on my iphone and plug it in to my USB in my car radio, the song stops and instead the first alphabetical song is played. It also does this when it's been plugged in the car, and then I remove it, and it reverts back to the first alphabetical song. This has only happened after I updated my phone. Does anyone have any ideas?!

I appreciate the commentary response but I'm not sure how this resolved my problem. The car was made before the iPhone coming out. By this fact, it would seem as if Apple has not made the product to compliment cars made before it.
Can anyone provide me steps to resolve this issue please?

Create String with Both Chinese and Latin alphabet

Good day everyone!
when I use "new String(byte[],"GBK")", if byte[] contains only Chinese or Latin alphabat, it works good.
But If Both Chinese and Latin alphabat are in the byte[], it does't work correctly, just returning a null String?
How can I do? Thanks for your help.

Are you positive you are using the correct encoding?
i.e., is gbk correct or might it be gb2312?I am sure, gbk work right for pure Chinese, but fails with bytes with both Chinese and Latin alphabet.

Address cleanse output to be in English instead of German.

During address cleansing, region names in the addresses being processed by BODS are coming in their local country language names. For example one german region name output is coming as "Nordrhein-Westfalen" instead of the English description "Nrth Rhine Westfalia".
I have set the script code to Latin and Output Country Language to English in the address cleanse transform. But still I am getting the same output.
Also I am using the German Address pack for the address cleanse transform mentioned above.
Any pointers to solve the issue mentioned above would be greatly be appreciated.
Thanks.

The LATIN script code tells the address engine to use the Latin character set used by English and the Western European languages. The OUTPUT_COUNTY_LANGUAGE option applies to the country field only. If you want to post the regions in English you can use a lookup table or search/replace table to convert.

Bulk create Active Directory Users and Groups in PowerShell using Excel XLSX source file instead of CSV

Hi Scripting Guy. I am a Server Administrator who is very familiar with Active Directory, but new to PowerShell. Like many SysAdmins, I often need to create multiple accounts (ranging from 3-200) and add them multiple groups (ranging
from 1 - 100). Previously I used VBS scripts in conjunction with an Excel .XLS file (not CSV file). Since VBS is essentially out the door and PowerShell is in - I am having to re-create everthing.
I have written a PowerShell script that bulk creates my users and adds them to their corresponding groups - however, this can only use a CSV file (NOT an XLS file). I understand that "CSV is much easier to use than Excel worksheets", but
most times I have three sets of nearly identical groups (for Dev, QA and Prod). Performing Search and Replace on the Excel template across all four Worksheets ensures the names used are consistent throughout the three environments.
I know each Excel Worksheet can be exported as a separate CSV file and then use the PowerShell scripts as is, but since I am not the only SysAdmin who will be using these it leads to "unnecessary time lost", not to mention the reality that even
though you clearly state "These tabs need to be exported using this naming standard" (to work with the PowerShell scripts) that is not the result.
I've been tasked to find a way to modify my existing PowerShell/CSV scripts to work with Excel spreadsheets/workbooks instead - with no success. I have run across many articles/forums/scirpts that let you update Excel or export AD data into an Excel
spreadsheet (even specifying the worksheet, column and row) - but nothing for what I am trying to do.
I can't imagine that I am the ONLY person who is in this situation/has this need. So, I am hoping you can help. How do I modify my existing scripts to reference "use this Excel spreadsheet, and this specific worksheet in the spreadsheet
prior to performing the New-ADUser/Add-ADGroupMember commands".
For reference, I am including Worksheet/Column names of my Excel Spreadsheet Template as well as the first part of my PowerShell script. M-A-N-Y T-H-A-N-K-S in advance.
   Worksheet: Accounts
     Columns: samAccountName, CN_DisplayName_Name, sn_LastName, givenName_FirstName, Password, Description, TargetOU
   Worksheets: DevGroups / QAGroups / ProdGroups
    Columns: GroupName, Members, MemberOf, Description, TargetOU

# Import CSV file as data source for remaining script.
$csv = Import-Csv -path $path | ForEach-Object {
# Add '@saccounty.net' suffix to samAccountName for UserPrincipalName
$userPrincinpal = $_."samAccountName" + "@saccounty.net"

Here is the same script as a function:

Param(
$fileName = 'C:\scripts\test.xls',
$sheetName = 'csv2'
$conn = New-Object System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection("Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source = $fileName;Extended Properties=Excel 8.0")
$cmd=$conn.CreateCommand()
$cmd.CommandText="Select * from [$sheetName$]"
$conn.open()
$cmd.ExecuteReader()
It is called like this:
Get-ExcelSheet -filename c:\temp\myfilename.xslx -sheetName mysheet
Do NOT change anything in the function and post the exact error. If you don't have Office installed correctly or are running 64 bits with a 32 bit session you will have to adjust your system.

Address book multiple sources

Address book i have set up address book to work with dropbox so all the macs in our office can share the same database this removes the need for all those all those syncing applications and for one person to be in charge of the database.
Problem is you have to limit the personal info you want in the database as every one has access to it.
I also have many family members using mac and it would be nice to be able to do something similar with them a unified family contacts book.
Again you would have the same issues. If Address book could work like ical and operate with multiple sources. You could have all your contacts in one location but keep the info separated and private.
Any one know if it is possible to achieve this or if something like Bento could

Thank you, V.K. The good news is that the group is large and the email addresses are hidden in the BCC field so Jane won't know that I have two entries for her in my address book. (And yes, I know I could call them both "Jane Doe" but at some point I would probably shoot myself in the foot by deleting the duplicate without realizing why it's there.)
I was surprised that whoever coded Address Book and/or Mail didn't use the usual convention of being able to select multiple entries in a list. This would be a nice enhancement for a future release; it's really not that unusual for someone to request that mail be routinely sent to both a home and work email address.

Data-sources.xml instead of bc4j.xcfg

All my episodes on my ipod touch are out of order, they are in alphabetical instead of episode number. Its really annoying. How do you fix it?

After i upgraded to iOS 6 my ipod touch has been putting all my tv shows episodes in alphabetical order instead of episode number order. I have tried a few things to put it back to normal but they just wont go back into the right order. Its really annoying if i am starting to watch something and then want to go onto the next ep on my ipod and its really annoying having to go through around 20 eps to find the next one.. Its the same on my brothers ipad. Except they dont have the episode numbers on them at all. If anyone has a solution on how to fix this it would be great. I might end up going to apple and asking myself when i get my ipad to show them excatly. If its a bug in the iOS it really needs to be fixed.

Received response from host (router IP address) with invalid source port 32784

I replaced my old wireless router with a Cisco Linksys E4200, running firmware version 1.0.02 build 13 May 24, 2011. About once a minute the router sends an unsolicited DNS message to the IPV4 multicast address 01:00:5e:00:00:fb with a destination IP address of 224.0.0.251. The unsolicited message is a DNS response with source port 32784, transaction ID 0, flags 0x8400 (standard query response, no error), questions 0, answer RRs 2, authority RRs 0 and additional RRs 1. The two answers both relate to the router itself: one has Name Cisco18738.local, type A (host address), class 1 (IN), cache flush true, time to live 1 minute, data length 4, and the address of the router. The other is the reverse of the same address. The additional record is for Cisco18738.local, type NSEC, class IN, cache flush true, time to live 1 minute, data length 5, next domain name Cisco18738.local, RR type A (host address).
When my desktop computer receives these messages it logs an error, for example: "Jun 23 07:39:22 sauterws02 avahi-daemon[1067]: Received response from host 10.146.9.1 with invalid source port 32784 on interface 'eth0.0'" The 10.146.9.1 is the router's IP address. I also see these messages on the wireless link from my laptop.
I suppose the E4200 is generating these DNS messages in a misguided attempt to make sure there is no old information about its name. Is there a way to turn them off? If not, is there a way to report this to Cisco as a bug?
Solved!

1. To contact Linksys, call support.
2. From the internet draft: "Multicast DNS implementations MUST

Thank you for the reference. For the sake of others who may read this thread, the current draft of multicast DNS is at http://www.ietf.org/id/draft-cheshire-dnsext-multicastdns-14.txt.
Here is the whole paragraph from which you quoted, from section 6 (Responding): "The source UDP port in all Multicast DNS Responses MUST be 5353 (the well-known port assigned to mDNS). Multicast DNS implementations MUST silently ignore any Multicast DNS Responses they receive where the source UDP port is not 5353."
Thus, it appears that there are two errors here: the Cisco E4200 is not using 5353 as the source port, and the logger is not silently ignoring it.
The message appears to be an announcement rather than an actual response to a query. In section 8.3 (Announcing) I found this paragraph: "A Multicast DNS Responder MUST NOT send announcements in the absence of information that its network connectivity may have changed in some relevant way. In particular, a Multicast DNS Responder MUST NOT send regular periodic announcements as a matter of course." Thus, it appears that there are three errors here.

US Cleanse "Address Thrashing" for University Dormitory-ish Addresses

In DS4.1, in the examples below (A & B are University/College Dormitory addresses), the US Address cleanser seems to consistently switch/thrash the output.
For example, the first time through the cleanse if A1 is the input, the process essentially output A2. When A2 is fed through the process, it is cleansed into A1. Behind the scenes we're mapping the PRIMARY_SECONDARY_ADDRESS_BEST_DELIVERY_COMPONENT to an output that in subsequent daily runs is fed into the MULTILINE1 input. Thus, for each daily run, the data thrashes from one value to the other.
Record
MULTILINE1 (input)
MULTILINE2 (input)
PRIMARY_SECONDARY_ADDRESS_BEST_DELIVERY_COMPONENT (output)
A1

We've tweaked various Standardization options to no avail. Note that the thrashing seems to happen in other non-University Dormitory addresses as well.
Any suggestions on how to configure the Cleanser to stop the "thrashing"?

Hi Mike,
Looks like what you are seeing is assignment of Unique ZIP Codes.
You might be asking, what is a Unique ZIP Code?
https://support.wdf.sap.corp/sap/support/notes/1371107
When Data Services assigns a Unique ZIP Code, it looks to ensure the city, state, and postcode match. If they agree, the address line is not used in the assignment process. The address information is not used, because the USPS data does not have address level data for records that
have a Unique ZIP Code. I believe this aligns with the USPS regulations regarding these types of addresses.
The secondary issue here with the output is because you are bringing in multilines and then discretely outputting the address component. This might be a case where you need to use some logic to look for Unique ZIP Codes, and then use different output fields for those records. You can identify Unique ZIP Codes, by using the ‘Postcode_Type’ output component and filtering on the value ‘U’.
Hope this helps get you moving in the right direction.
Thanks,
Brandon

Contacts - print address labels for a family instead of several individuals - i.e. "Smith Family" instead of Mr. Smith and Mrs. Smith

Greetings
I'm trying to print out address labels for Christmas cards. Is there a way to print out one for an entire family instead of everyone separately as individuals? For instance, I have a separate entry for Mr. John Smith and Mrs. Jane Smith. I'd like to print out one label that is for "Mr. and Mrs. John Smith" or "Smith Family."
Is there a way to do this? I suppose I could just do a company that is "Smith Family", but I'm trying to avoid that if possible.
Thanks!
John

I think you may want to export your contact list to Excel (or Google docs) or another format where you can edit the list (remove names, change fields, etc.).
Once you have a clean list that has all the names in a clean format that you want to print onto the labels then you import that spreadsheet or document into a program that has label making abilities and a mail merge feature.
What type of labels are you using?
There are several label programs out there that have mail merge capabilities and labeling support. I am happy to provide some recommendations once I understand your needs.
