Comparing Files within ODI

Friends,
I have typical scenario here and wonder if anyone can help/suggest any solution:
I got 2 different files types being loaded into 2 different tables and data needs to be compared before further processing. each file (type A) corresponds to other file (type B) when it comes to DATA. Now I am able to to load the file and compare the files all right but my problem is as follows:
Each file of TYPE A corresponds to file from TYPE B (w.r.t data).
For example:
I have one set of files contains
STD_010908.TXT
STD_020908.TXT
STD_030908.TXT
Other set contains:
RST_010908.TXT
RST_020908.TXT
RST_030908.TXT
Now STD_010908.TXT corresponds to RST_010908.TXT, STD_020908.TXT corresponds to RST_020908.TXT etc...
All files are located in same directory and gets loaded by ODI package.
NOW QUESTION:
USING ODI, how would I make sure that file STD_010908.TXT gets compared to RST_010908.TXT and likewise futher ?
Regards

Hi,
You can use Joins for comparing your source files. Drag and drop your fliles A and B and put a join in the PK of that files, then map that PK to your target column.

Processing flat file within ODI

Friends,
I need to read a flat file consisting of 'detail or main record' and 'trailier Record
1) Detail Record consist of each transaction details including amount etc.
2) Trailer Record consist of total value on detail records ( number of records and total amount)
How can I verify the total amount in trailer against sum of all detail records?
Thanks
KS

hehehehe
Was a "bad way" to say "execute the calculations".
An way to do it is:
1) create a ODI variable
2) at refresh tab put something like
select t.col_trailier_sum_amount - sum(d.col_amount)
from loaded_tabledetail d, loaded_table_trailier t
where d.record_type = 'detail' and t.record_type = 'trailer"
group by t.col_trailier_sum_amount
* I'm using 2 tables at this example but is the same with just one...
3) create a package and drag and drop:
a) the interface that load the temp table
b) the variable in Refresh mode
c) the variable in evaluate mode ( set the evaluate operator to "=" and value to "0")
d) choose the OK (true) and KO (false) path that you need to each case
Does it make sense to you?

Merge/Concat Multiple Columns in a Flat-File wthin ODI

Hi,
I was wondering if there is a quick way to merge/concat multiple columns in a Flat-File from within ODI, a functionality kinda similar to Essbase load rule files for join/split columns etc.
Please let me know.
Thanks

Looks like the CONCAT function works only with Memory Engine. Could someone please confirm this? If this is true, I guess applying the patch is the only resolution.
Thanks

Batch code for running a find/replace all on multiple files within a source floder/directory

What I need is a Batch source code that will open all files in a folder/directory and run a find and replace_all query within them and then save all the files. The files were created in Illustrator and saved using the Scene7 FXG format extension.    These files will be uploaded into Scene7 as a group after the find and replace macro/query is run on the code. The same find and replace query will be the same for all the files. Basically this function or batch process will save time in setting the same parameters all at one time instead of having to set the parameters individually in scene7.
a source code sample of the find/replace module macro might be              searchString: s7:colorvalue="#FFFFFFFF"
                                                                                                                      replaceString: s7:colorValue="#&txtclr;"
                                                                                                                      searchWhat   "FXG document"
                                                                                                                         searchSource: true,

I have no problems creating batch files within Ai and PhotoShop but I have limited programming skills in how to create source code for manuipulating documents outside of those apps or in a OS invironment.
I could probably come up witha simple program to do what i want for one document but i get lost when dealing with multiple documents in a source folder (prolbem is, I will be dealing with thousands of documents not 100 or less)
If anything which Adope cloud app would work best: Dreamweaver or Edge code   (or just use my notepad)

Just moved to Mac from Windows, so far biggest headache is the way folders are treated. I manage several very large websites and involve a lot of files within folders and I need the folders to show the date the last file inside it was changed?

In my FTP client I can click to sort by date modified which is fine if you are in a folder and then it shows the file dates correctly - but any folders within the root folder don't they seem to display randomly all together at the bottom of the list and it is a nightmare trying to find what folders have files in them that have been changed.
Is there any way to get the folder to register the last date of a file within it that was modified?

I dont know the answer yet, but i have noted what appears to be a bug in 10.9 in how it handles folder dates. Right now i am seeing folder modified dates changing randomly ot "today" - whatever date the parent folder was opened.
In the past my folders "modified" date was always the same as the last modified date of the items within. But this only moved down ONE level - if a subfolder's entries were updated the "gradfather" folder did not update.
But now severa people are reporting random, incorrect folder dates. I hoep this will be corrected soon, but who knows?

How to write to a log file within a JSP

Hello everybody,
do you know how to write to a log file within a JSP.
my code is (/space/SP/tlf/ExcepcionJava.jsp):
<html>
<body bgColor=#C4E1FF>
<%@ page import="java.io.*" %>
<%
     FileWriter salida = new FileWriter(response.encodeURL("log.txt"));
     salida.write(request.getParameter("errorMsg"));
     salida.close();
%>
</body>
</html>.. I run under Solaris, Jrun 2.3.3
I have also test with getServletContext().getRealPath(), but I get /netsrv/nes/docs/ instead of /space/SP/tlf/

Hi,
Give the full path of the log file to the FileWriter. Such as;
FileWriter salida = new FileWriter(response.encodeURL("/usr/local/tomcat/logs/testlogs/log.txt"));

Okay, i have 2 bugs with maverick. First, when I delete a file within a window, the files deletes but the preview doesn't delete until I close the window and reopen it. Second, I work on a network of computers and the search feature is now buggy...

Okay, i have 2 bugs with maverick. First, when I delete a file within a window, the files deletes but the preview doesn't delete until I close the window and reopen it. Second, I work on a network of computers and the search feature is now buggy... When I search for a file, A) it asks me if it's a name, or it wont produce anything, and B), its slower than in prior OS versions and in some instances I have to toggle to a different directory and go back to my original directory in the search: menu bar or the search wont produce anything... Very buggy.

It appears to me that network file access is buggy in Maverick.
In my case I have a USB Drive attached to airport extreme (new model) and when I open folders on that drive they all appear empty. If I right click and I select get info after a few minutes! I get a list of the content.
It makes impossible navigate a directory tree.
File access has been trashed in Maverick.
They have improved (read broken) Finder. I need to manage a way to downgrade to Lion again.

Can you manually move files within a folder to put them in a specific order?

I am new to mac, I was wondering if there is an app maybe that you could move files within a folder (ie photos) to make them in a specific order and then rename them, I used to be able to do this with my windows xp..... cant seem to make it happen with my new macbook pro and from what i can gather it cant be done? can it? Thanx in advance.........

Thomas, I have set the view to maunally but when i move the icons they return to where they were sitting..?
In the Finder? You probably have a sort selected in the Sort By submenu in the View menu. However, the order of icons in icon view won't have any influence on the order of the images in the slideshow, I think. Use iPhoto, this is one of the things it's made for, the Finder is not.

Error when exporting to flat file in ODI 11g

This works ok in ODI 10g. I'm using IKM SQL to File Append on Windows Server 2008 R2
Getting the following error when exporting to a flat file in ODI 11g: ODI-40406: Bytes are too big for array
I've seen a couple of threads like this on the forum, but I've never seen an answer to the problem.

Problem is with the difference in behaviour for the IKM SQL to File Append KM between 10g and 11g.
Our 10g target file datastore had a mixture of fixed string and numeric columns. Mapping from the source to target was simple one to one column mapping. It generated the desired fixed format flat file; numerics were right adjusted with embedded decimal point and leading spaces. Each numeric column in the generated flat file occupied the exact space allocated to it in the layout. This gave the desired results, even though documentation for the 10g IKM states that all columns in the target must be string.
When we converted to 11g and tried to run this interface, it generated an error on the "numeric" columns because it was wrapping them in quotation marks. The result column was being treated as string, and it was larger than the defined target once it acquired those quotation marks.
In order to get 11g to work, I had to change all the numeric columns in the target data store to fixedstring 30. I then had to change the mapping for these numeric columns to convert them to right adjusted character strings (i.e. RIGHT(SPACE(30) + RTRIM(MyNumericColumn),30).
Now it works.

Can we compare file contents of two files in the Application server?

Hi,
A file is generated daily to the application server. and i need to compare the generated file to the file generated on the previous day and prepare a report.
Can we compare file contents of two generated files present in the Application server?
If there is any alternative, please suggest.
regards
cs

yes we can compare if the app server is Unix.
cmp compare two binary files and report if different
cmp is silent if the files are the
     same;
if they differ, the byte and line number at which the first
difference occurred is reported.
REPORT ZUNIX line-size 400
                no standard page heading.
data: unixcom like   rlgrap-filename.
unixcom = 'cmp file1 file2'.
data: begin of tabl occurs 500,
        line(400),
      end of tabl.
data: lines type i.
start-of-selection.
refresh tabl.
call 'SYSTEM' id 'COMMAND' field unixcom
                id 'TAB'     field tabl[].

How do I encrypt my external hard drive and subsequently a specific file within it, using my Mac? I tried creating a disk image but permission was denied.

Encrypting an external hard drive and specific folders within. Permission denied using disk image.

When I tried to encrypt a single file within the hard drive itself, I got the following: Disk Utility Progress: Unable to create "Name of my file" (Permission Denied).
When I tried encrypting the entire hard disk itself, I got: A GUID Partition Table (GPT) partitioning scheme is required.
I have also currently used Time Machine on the external hard drive, along with saving other data. Hence, I am not sure if partitioning is going to delete any of this (a video I watched mentioned that using the + button when creating partitions retains current data). Backing up the external hard drive is out of the option since it is the back up to my Mac.
You can't encrypt a single file. I'm not sure what you did to try. You can make an encrypted disk image which begins with a folder, if desired. Or, you can just create a blank, encrypted disk image, then move your desired files into that.
While you could partition off the free space without erasing the disk, you cannot encrypt it because you need a GUID Partition table which requires you to repartition the entire drive, not just the free space.

Add a watermark to multiple files within a PDF Portfolio in Acrobat X Pro?

Can I add a watermark to multiple files within a PDF Portfolio in Acrobat X Pro? If so, how? It appears as though it is a removed option.

I've figured this out. (kind of) not using PDF Portfolio; where you could apply watermark to multiple files in Acrobat 9.
I'm answering my own question in case there are others looking to add a watermark to multiple files.
Step 1: Open a single file
Step 2: Tools>Pages>Watermark>Add Watermark
Step 3: In bottom of Watermark Edit Box, Select "Apply to Multiple"
Step 4: Select "Add Files
etc etc.
