Column Encoding issue for user spreadsheet import via Wizard

Hi,
I'm trying to build an upload page for users, they should be able to upload spreadsheets into one of the tool's table.
I have built a "Data Load Page" via the Wizard on apex.oraclecorp.com which created 4 pages : data load, data/table mappings, data validation and data load results.
I do receive the correct mappings, however because some characters are double byte, hispanish and so on, I do receive weird characters in my rows. This data looks well in CSV (I save it in txt first as unicode text). Is there a way that I can force apex to grab my import and see char encoding as little endian?
Thanks and regards,
Diez

Hi again,
Are there no solutions for this?
I would simply like to make available to the user an option where he can change the character encoding (like UTF-8, little endia, big endian, western european windows etc) or make it little endian by default.
If this is not possible I'm open to any suggestions.
Thanks and regards,
Diez

How can I fix a dynamic zoom tool issue for users of Reader v8?

I am publishing a PDF to be posted on the internet for downloading by end-users. The PDF is designed to open in full screen view, that is, without tool or menu bars visible. This means it would be helpful for me to embed additional functionality onto each page of the PDF for users who do not know keyboard shortcuts.
In doing so, I have found that when adding the dynamic zoom tool function via Acrobat's Advance Editing > Forms > Button Tool, the dynamic zoom tool only works in some versions of Acrobat Reader and not others.
I suspect this is because the dynamic zoom tool is accessed from different locations in different versions of Reader. Therefore, the instruction that I embed in to the button tool that relies on a menu-tree command ('find the tool in this location via the menu') cannot therefore be executed.
Fortunately, it appears that there is a javascript name available for the dynamic zoom tool that I can use instead of a menu-tree command. But unfortunately, it appears that the script name is different for different versions of Adobe Reader...
Not to be outdone, we have managed to write a small piece of javascript that, when assigned to the PDF using the button tool, identifies which version of Reader the recipient is using and activates the correct script name.
So far so good.
However, it now appears that version 8 of Adobe Reader has a higher level of security built in, so that javascript is security restricted and isn't allowed to run.
This of course means that the button I've included in the PDF to bring up the dynamic zoom tool doesn't work at all for end-users using Adobe Reader v8.
Getting the users to adjust their security permissions in the preferences is problematic and less than ideal. I really want the PDF to work 'out of the box' so to speak, without the users having to perform somersaults to get every element of the PDF to function fully as designed.
And seeing as the end-users are part of a public organisation and will not necessarily have the authority to update their software from v8 to v9 themselves, I am a little stuck.
So what's my query? I've got more than one:
• Is there a more detailed script I can assign using the button tool to get the dynamic zoom tool to work as outlined above in v8?
• Can I raise the security level of the dynamic zoom tool from within the PDF (that is, so that the dynamic zoom tool activates automatically and without end-user intervention, e.g. without downloading bits of code to place in file directories)?
• If I were to assign a digital ID/certificate to the PDF, would this allow the javascript to run unhindered?

If you are going to SET an IP, a Static IP, on the computer it has to be out of the DHCP pool range but in the overall IP range the router is using to hand out. So if the router DHCP range is 192.168.1.100 to .150 you have to assign a static IP to the computer either above the 150 or below the 100.
Right I've never had a problem with ha PC. But then I have never had a problem with my Mac either.
I suspect you have some type of hardware problem or a hardware and driver problem.

Encoding issue for file manager

I am using the ditto command to duplicate a file. This file has unicode filename and as per http://developer.apple.com/qa/qa2001/qa1173.html I am first normalizing the name to kCFStringNormalizationFormD and then converting it to utf-8 before calling ditto on it. This all works smoothly but when I try to get the FSRef using the original unicode name I get fnfErr. Dosn't the API CFURLGetFSRef convert the string to kCFStringNormalizationFormD? Or is there any alternate for ditto on Tiger.

no encoding issues if i use xml (xlf or xliff) bundle as xml supports utf-8 encoding.

Attunity connectors for Oracle in Import Export Wizard in SQL Server 2008 R2

Is there a way we can see the Attunity connectors drivers in the Import/Export Wizard (64 bit) for SQL Server 2008 R2?
Although I made it work for SSIS, I would need these drivers in the Import/Export wizard so as to automate it for numerous number of tables which I want to migrate.
Can the Attunity connectors for Oracle be used in the Import/Export wizard? If so please let me know.
Regards,
Ashutosh.
Ashutosh.

I have 100 tables to migrate. Creating a data flow for each table is tedious and that's why I was looking out for a way to do it through import export wizard so that I don't have to create a separate data source and destination for each table in the Data
flow Task.
Is there a way to loop through all tables and transfer data in SSIS without having multiple sources and destinations created for each table? This also involves a bit of transformation as well.
Regards,
Ashutosh.

Password reset issue for users

Ok this is driving me nuts and hopefully there is a simple answer.
I am running a new fully update 10.8 server. I have setup open directory and have profile manager running. From the server app I go into the users pane, i select a standard user (non admin) and right click to choose reset password. I enter a new password in and verify and click ok. To test this I goto the my devices page from the web and it gives me an invalid password message. I know its right. I have reset it and restarted the server to no avail. What can be going wrong here?

Sean,
I would stop every service and then lauching only:
1. DNS
2. Open Directory
3. File Sharing
and then: "last time" (hopefully) reboot of the machine.
This is to reduce the sideeffects.
After the reboot I would check the logs of all those services after the reboot and check if they writing errors into.
What is happening then?
~ Markus
P.S.: Anyway, how is your server installed? Is this server available from the internet or only in a local network?

Trying to disable Encryption for users through the Customization wizard

I am trying to create a transform through the Customization Wizard that will disable users from seeing or selecting Encryption when they have a PDF file open. I know that in the security-policy.acrodata file that if /SP_IsHidden [/b true] in the file then Encryption is hidden. My question, how do I do that for all users during or after a new install. And how would I modify existing users profiles to achive the same result?

Issue with users trying to save reports to thier Documents on one drive.

I am working
on a 2013 SharePoint environment and users who use Power View reports. I
have a user who can create reports on a site I have set up (no problems
there). They can also save reports to PowerPivot Gallery they have added
in their Newsfeed for their personal site (no problems here). The problem
is when they try to save the report and go to Documents on one Drive it fails
with below error message. I am an admin but can save just fine to my
documents. I know the error shows an access issue but not sure where or
how to resolve this issue for users. <o:p></o:p>
P.S. the
issue happens before they even save button it happens when they see the My
Documents and try to open it. Again it is there personal SharePoint site
so not sure why they would not have access.<o:p></o:p>

Hi Ken,
It's strange that the User Profile Service Application is not available there. Please use PowerShell to check it, and you can run the command below:
Get-SPServiceApplication | where-object{$_.DisplayName -like 'User Profile*'}
Please ensure you are connecting to the correct farm, and open PowerShell with administrator permission. Meanwhile, add a test user in your Active Directory, and test to see whether the user's My Site can be created.
If the User Profile Service Application can be listed by PowerShell, and the new user's My Site can be created, there might be an UI issue in your Central Administration. Otherwise, you may consider to recreate or restore your User Profile Service Application.

Sequential read in sm66 - Database size 550GB - system slow for users

Currently when we use any standard transactions or custom program, it is going to sequential read in sm66.
We are getting slowness in system due to this issue for users.

I understand that if you create Index on these table ( whichever it shows as sequential read ), it will improve the report performance.
Most of the time, system process shows that sequential read on VBAP, VKPA (sales tables), purchase tables, Finance tables and etc.
If sm66 shows as sequential read for few table, that means that corresponding user will get slowness on getting report/transaction output. I agree on that.
Is there any reason other user will get slowness ie if i run Va03 transaction, WE02 transaction which is not relevant to sm66 process over view.
I appreciate, if you give some recommendations reg. this performance improvement and to avoid this kind of sequential read.
I posted the Same question in DB forum also.
I want to get some more idea from this forum also. That is reason, i posted here again.
Thanks

Not able to import User Profile Property via BDC Connection

I want to fill some of the user profile properties via BDC Connection. I already have created more than 50 user profiles which I imported from AD. Now, in order to import profiles properties using BDC, I performed below steps:
a) Ensured Business Data Connectivity and Secure Store are running and used account has Full permission on these services.
b) Created an external content type using SharePoint Designer and created an external list to ensure that data is available:
Set email field as identifier, which is one of the columns in SQL table and is a primary key.
Created Read Item and Read List operations on above ECT.
c) Checked the presence of above ECT in BDC service and ensured it has all necessary permissions i.e. Edit, Execute etc.
d) Configure a new synchronization connection in User profile Service by selecting the same ECT. Here I chose to connect 1:1 mapping and picked up WorkEmail property to return items.
e) Mapped one of the custom property with one of the fields of SQL Server. Here, I ensured they both have same type.
f) Ran Full Synchronize after above steps. On checked, I do not find any data in the mapped properties.
Below are the traces of LOGS:

Thanks for the very clear answer back. You're a star. Much appreciated and better to know where you stand directly. Have called the helpdesk and are willing to solve and take this one back in, although it will hurt. The macBook Pro continues to be out of reach economically, so it would need to be the white macBook...
Just wanted to check some last items before making final decisions as I am checking an alternative workaround
- my camcorder supports recording on memory stick which can then be read into iMovie without problem. Any idea if memory stick is lower in resolution as normal DV tape recording? If this is comparable I can choose to from now on switch to memory stick. When I record on the stick it is then recognised as MOV.
- is there any other (non apple made) OSX software on the market to facilitate only the USB driven capturing? Hence did any other SW supplier plug this hole? The old windows pc has proven that the camera streams images via the USB port (hence don't at all understand why iMovie cannot just support capturing via USB streaming...!!!!) and I understand it is more that iMovie doesn't support capturing images via USB, but does anybody else at least for the capturing bit?
- You read about Firewire - USB adapters/hubs/convertors. It is however never clear if it would solve this issue. Dead-end street or an option?
- I can capture my archive of old tapes on my old PC and then put them into my Mac. However the capturing SW makes one large file of it and no event is split. Any idea if on import iMovie could automatically split this into different events (based on date or start/stop?)
- final question: does iMovie when capturing video from tapebased camcorder automatically split events based on date or start/stop? Would be silly to make switch and then still find out I need to manually make the cuts.
Very grateful for your support. Just a couple of days left to make final decision...

Is it possible to create a form that allows users to import data from an excel spreadsheet

I have not been able to start my reading on scripting or other livecycle features to be able to try to figure this out but I was wondering if anyone else had ever created a form with this feature or had any ideas of how it would be possible. Our company currently uses and excel form that would have a variable number of rows of data for each time it is filled out and we would be replacing it with an adobe form. I would like to know if the users, who will be using the new adobe form in adobe reader, could have the capability to imort the lines from the previous excel form into the new adobe version.

Hi,
You can set up a data connection with an Excel spreadsheet. However for the data connection to work for users with Reader, you would need to Reader Enable the form with the LiveCycle Reader Extensions ES2.5 (server component). See here for summary: http://assure.ly/etkFNU.
However if you are just trying to get the existing data into the form, you should have a look at some of Stefan Cameron's posts: http://forms.stefcameron.com/ (try a search). You can start a new form using the wizzard and select import from Excel. This will allow you to paste from your spreadsheet to a new form. This should help set up the data structure/schema, which you can then replicate in a new form. I haven't done this before, but it should be possible.
Hope that helps,
Niall

Deployment issue - Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE'

I am attempting to deploy a site from my development PC to my server. I have no issues running the site on the server using VS2010 Express Web in debug. All page queries are working within the debugger. The connection strings are identical between the PC
and Server, except the host name.
connectionString
="Data
Source=SOCIALSERVER;Initial Catalog=Intake_be;Integrated Security=True"
However, when using the site normally via IIS, the pages containing data access are failing with a permissions problem. The non-data access pages render normally.
Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE'
Looking at the SQL2005 instance via SQL Management Studio, I see security folder with Logins under the Server. NTA\NS is listed as a user login. But, I also see similar folders under each
of 3 databases. NTA\NS is not listed as a login specific to my target dB.
My site is for internal (intranet) use only. There is no internet access into my IIS. This is my first deployment into production. I think I only need Windows Authentication but I lack the experience to make a good decision. My goal is to allow domain users
to access pages that produce read only data. But, I also need controlled access to pages that can modify data. I used the native winform template for ASP.NET 4, which includes some roles based security.
How do I grant permissions for internal users on the pages that access SQL data? How does that security model work with the native roles based security? i.e.
add
name="AspNetSqlMembershipProvider"type="System.Web.Security.SqlMembershipProvider"connectionStringName="ApplicationServices"...
etc.
Thanks for your time and patience on this Deployment 101 type issue.
Kurt

hi,
You receive either of these error messages specifically when you use integrated security.
To resolve you can use one of below.
Method 1: Programmatically change the security context of the ASP.NET worker process to a user who has the correct SQL Server permissions.
Method 2: Change the default configuration of ASP.NET so that the ASP.NET worker process starts and runs under the context of a user who has the correct permissions in SQL Server.
Method 3: Grant the correct permissions in SQL Server so that the ASPNET account (or NetworkService account, for an application that runs on IIS 6.0) has the appropriate access to the required resources.(Go to the Computer Management >> Local User and
Groups >> Groups >> Right Click and go to properties on IIS_IUSRS >> Add appropriate user.
Thanx, Mark as answered if you are ok ..

Privacy issues for end user

The interactive form I have designed will be completed by people who are very conscious of their privacy. I imagine that most of them will not be happy to email their data, as this leaves easily found "breadcrumbs" on their computer.
Is there any way this data can be sent without going through the email process? Would submitting to a URL overcome this problem, or are there other "privacy issues" for the end user which may come into play?

Thanks Danmaster - after investigation I find I have been using SOAP for some time now. I've just never been conscious of its acronym. So if I have been communicating between applications using a communication protocol I have been using SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol).
I am starting to think I'm really clever now.
Just because I have been submitting forms through http and then using CGI scripting on the server to convert and email me the results, I never thought that SOAP was such a vital component.
So perhaps the LiveCycle Designer will just allow me to create automatically what I have been hard-coding for years.
I really should have asked that "if the client submits via http through the LiveCycle form, will they be shown any hints that the data has been submitted".
Cheers

I keep getting ' user not register for online ' when trying to get track names for my CD imports for Windows 7

I keep getting ' user not register for online ' when trying to get track names for my CD imports for Windows 7 and I'm unable to find a solution.

I can't be certain exactly which steps are going to be needed in each case, but if you work through this in sequence hopefully one of the steps will prove effective.
First try this:
With iTunes closed.
Press the WinLogoKey+R
Type in %appdata% and press return
Double click on Apple Computer
Double click on iTunes
Delete the file CD Info.cidb
Start iTunes and try again.
If that doesn't work close iTunes and try deleting com.apple.iTunes.Gracenote.plist in the same folder.
If that doesn't work close iTunes and try deleting iTunesPrefs.xml. This will reset your some of your preferences in iTunes so be sure to check them and reset as required.
If that still hasn't resolved things close iTunes and try deleting the entire %appdata%\Apple Computer folder or look for parallel files/folders in the C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Local or C:\Users\<User>\AppData\LocalLow in case a corrupt file is persisting there.
Note that any iOS device backups are stored in the MobileSync folder within Apple Computer. Once things are working you should backup your devices again as soon as possible.
Or it might not be the preference files after all...
For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
