SSIS : How to create Column Header dynamically using expression in Flat File Source

Hi Team,
I need to keep configured Header Names for columns, Is there is any way to set each column name from expression? or is there is any other way?

Nope
But you could add a dummy row to your source to include column headers and then use options column headers in first row in flat file connection manager.
So suppose you've three columns column0,coulmn1,column2 and you want to make it as ID,Name,Datethen make source query as
SELECT 'ID' AS Col1,'Name' AS Col2,'Date' AS Col3, 0 AS ord
UNION ALL
SELECT Column1,Column2,Column3,1
FROM YourTable
ORDER BY Ord
then choose column headers in first row option

Creating columns in macmail (using 10.8.2)

As late as 10.6, I could right click in any one of the header columns for mac mail, and get a list of all possible options, choose one and then change my column set up. Now with 10.8.2, mac mail doesn't seem to respond to this. Can anyone provide me with the process for changing my column set up for mac mail in 10.8?
Thanks,
Al

Hi Al
What you have to do is go into Mail preferences > Viewing tab > Use Classic Layout. Then right click to change the columns again.
Hope this helps,

Create files from template using flienames in a text document.

Hi
I have been trying to wrap my head around this all evening and not gotten very far. I have a template Word document that I need to copy and rename with pupils names. I have the text document (.txt), with all the pupil names seperated into paragraphs. I have to do this every term and end up typing all 200 pupils names in by hand. I know there is a way do this with applescripts, but its not going well. Any and all help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

That's pretty easy to do. This should get you close:
set the_template_file to (choose file with prompt "Select the template file:")
set the_name_list_file to (choose file with prompt "Select the file containing the names:")
set the_names_list to paragraphs of (read the_name_list_file)
tell application "Finder"
          repeat with each_name in the_names_list
                    set new_file to duplicate the_template_file
                    set name of new_file to each_name & ".docx"
          end repeat
end tell
The script will first ask you for the template file, then ask you for the file that contains the list of names.
It then loops through the list of names, for each name it duplicates the template file, then renames it to match the contents of the file.
There's no error checking here, so you might want to pad this script to catch errors, but it should be functional.

Try this. A simple sample Smart Form.
SAP Smartforms can be used for creating and maintaining forms for mass printing in SAP Systems. The output medium for Smartforms support printer, fax, e-mail, or the Internet (by using the generated XML output).
According to SAP, you need neither have any programming knowledge nor use a Script language to adapt standard forms. However, basic ABAP programming skills are required only in special cases (for example, to call a function module you created or for complex and extensive conditions).
1. Create a new smartforms
Transaction code SMARTFORMS
Create new smartforms call ZSMART
2. Define looping process for internal table
Pages and windows
First Page -> Header Window (Cursor at First Page then click Edit -> Node -> Create)
Here, you can specify your title and page numbering
&SFSY-PAGE& (Page 1) of &SFSY-FORMPAGES(Z4.0)& (Total Page)
Main windows -> TABLE -> DATA
In the Loop section, tick Internal table and fill in
ITAB1 (table in ABAP SMARTFORM calling function) INTO ITAB2
3. Define table in smartforms
Global settings :
Form interface
Variable name Type assignment Reference type
ITAB1 TYPE Table Structure
Global definitions
Variable name Type assignment Reference type
ITAB2 TYPE Table Structure
4. To display the data in the form
Make used of the Table Painter and declare the Line Type in Tabstrips Table
e.g. HD_GEN for printing header details,
IT_GEN for printing data details.
You have to specify the Line Type in your Text elements in the Tabstrips Output options.
Tick the New Line and specify the Line Type for outputting the data.
Declare your output fields in Text elements
Tabstrips - Output Options
For different fonts use this Style : IDWTCERTSTYLE
For Quantity or Amout you can used this variable &GS_ITAB-AMOUNT(12.2)&

SMARTFORMS GENERATION: (calling internal table fields)
 Open a smartform using the tcode smartforms.
 Usually form attributes shows admn data.
 In the form interface declare import/export parameters if any. Else declare the tables in tables tab button.
 In the windows and pages expand and create a table. It automatically generates header, main area and footer for the table.
 In data tab button in the table we usually declare a work area to bring the data from se38. Like: ktab into wa. ( The purpose of declaring the wa is , to get the data of the ktab in to header from the body area of the internal table).
 And in the tablepainter pushbutton in table we can have any no of line types. Depending on the requirement. ( for ex: If we want to devide a row in to 4 columns, we can devide it as 4,4,4,4cm as line type 1, And usually for the footer we dont need no of columns, So, we declare it as one column with 16cm measure with the name line type 2.). We can use these line types in the tables.
 In the header right click>>create>>tableline. It asks for line type. Select one line type which is appropriate.
 Like same create a row2 in main area using right click. If we select the line type 1, it automatically generates 4 cells. We can create text in each cell as per requirement.
 We can generate general attributes using general attributes tab button in the text. Or in the other way. We can switch on the field list on/off button from the application tool bar. It displays all the attributes in the left down corner of the screen. We can drag and drop the required fields in the general attributes tab button of the text.
 We continue the same procedure for all the texts. The texts should be displayed in the gray color. Then only it can collects the data from the abap editor fields.
 If it wont turns gray, we can check the fields in the editor by changing it to the line editor. The best thing is to drag the fields from the list, rather than declaring like &wa-matnr&
 In the footer also we create a line type and in that table line we create text.

In the method I we are calling the amartform dynamically using the function module 'SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME'.
Here we are exporting form name and importing fm_name.
So we need to declare the variable fm_name as
data: FM_NAME TYPE RS38L_FNAM.
We can have the type of the fm_name in the function module 'SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME' (in the export tab button).
Since we are passin the name of the Function module generated by the smart form in to the fm_name variable. We run the function module with the name fm_name, but not the FM generated by the smartform(like /1BCDWB/SF00000199)¬¬¬¬¬¬.
In the method II we directly call the smartform generated function module (i.e, /1BCDWB/SF00000199).
But the method I is recommended. In the method I, The fm_name is a variable we dont put it in the quotes while calling.
In the both methods we declare the internal table using the like option, but not begin of. end of. And in select statement we select *, But not individual fields.

Etext templates using the API

HI All, I'm trying to create a Etext template using the API.
EFTProcessor processor = new EFTProcessor();
String template = TemplateLocator.getTemplateFullName(mergReq.getTemplateType(), mergReq.getTemplateName());
processor.setData(input);
processor.setTemplate(template);
processor.setOutput("c:\\test.txt");
processor.process();
This output looks like it creates the xsl and not the text file. Am I missing a step?
Any help would be greatly appreciated...
Thanks,

Hi JV,
Yes you can create rows dynamically in a table in IF. You can follow the instruction in [this link|Re: Dynamic Table - same data repeating in all rows] to create the dynamic table.
Also refer to these links:

Creating Workbench Templates Using the Workbook.

Hi Guys,
I am currently in the process of creating Workbench templates using the workbook. However, I am unsure how to define the order the channels will appear in the wb_page_configs tab. Currently these are the available fields in this tab,
CHANNEL_EXTERNAL_ID          STRING_TYPE
PAGE_EXTERNAL_ID                STRING_TYPE     .
CFG_NAME_RESC                CUSTOM
COL_POS                                      INTEGER_TYPE
IS_REQUIRED                BOOLEAN_TYPE
IS_FIXEDPARAMS                BOOLEAN_TYPE
IS_USE_CHANNEL_PARAM       BOOLEAN_TYPE
PARAMS                                      CUSTOM
Which of these fields defines which column the channel is being put in (Column 1 or Column 2) also, how do you define that in the workbook?
Which of these fields defines the order in the column (For example, At the top of Column 1, or the second channel in column 2) also, how do you define that in the workbook?
any help is appreciated, any templates of workbench configs done via workbook will also be greatly appreciated. Not sure if I am looking @ the wrong workbook tab in order to define these parameters, but it seems that this is the sheet that I should be looking.
Thanks.

Hi,
Let me try and explain it via an example.
You should first look to define the Template in the wb_pages tab. You can use the standard one which is: workbench.default_buyer_template. This is the Default Buy-Side Template.
Now coming to the wb_page_configs tab. Suppose you want to add the Contract Search channel in the Workbench view. For this your values would be:
CHANNEL_EXTERNAL_ID: channel.contract_search
PAGE_EXTERNAL_ID: workbench.default_buyer_template
CFG_NAME_RESC: Leave blank
COL_POS: 1
IS_REQUIRED: FALSE
IS_FIXEDPARAMS: FALSE
IS_USE_CHANNEL_PARAMS: TRUE
PARAMS: Leave Blank
Similarly, if you want the To Do List to appear in the right hand channel, the only difference would be that the Col_POS would need to be set to value = 2.
Hope this helps,

I am changing from Word to Pages. I have created my custom template with all my styles etc and that is what comes up when I go for a New Document. Fine. How do I get it to use the same Custom Template when I use Pages to open a Word document?

I am changing from Word to Pages. I have created my custom template with all my styles etc and that is what comes up when I go for a New Document. Fine. How do I get it to use the same Custom Template when I use Pages to open a Word document?

The template is a document in itself, it is not applied to an existing document whether it is a Pages document or a Word document converted to a Pages document.
You would need to either copy and paste content, using existing styles, or apply the styles to the converted Word document.
You can Import the Styles from an existing document and those imported Styles can be used to override the current document's styles:
Menu > Format > Import Styles
The process is simplified if the styles use the same names, otherwise you will need to delete the style you don't want and replace it with the one that you do want when asked, then the substitution is pretty straightforward.

Create a custom web template using VS 2012 with web features,site features sections applied

hi,
Want to create a custom web template using VS 2012 in my SP 2013 environment. i know "Vesku" has posted a great artice on this [ based on prev. version of SP].
here -
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/vesku/archive/2010/10/14/sharepoint-2010-and-web-templates.aspx
i am looking for a code based article which has step by step process which provides how to add the site features, web features and attach the eventreceivers etc etc on sitecollection creation when i apply this template from central admin.
can anyone provide me any links / any source how to create a custom web template with one / two custom features - site features element and web features element , / master page etc ....
I am stuck with this. as part of my reqmnt, i need to create a webtemplate with all the customlistinstances, custompagelayouts, custom masterpages, custom appln pages, custom web parts.
help is appreciated !
Das

The problem is that Web Templates are deployed to a gallery in a site collection and aren't available in Central Admin when creating a new site collection. YOu have to create the site collection without choosing a template and then choose your web
template when you first access the root site in the site collection. Here's an article that discusses that process here:
http://sharepointchick.com/archive/2011/02/10/using-web-templates-to-create-site-collections.aspx
Other than that Vesa's article is still the best one and works essentially the same in 2013 as it does in 2010.

Automatically create new Excel file from template using data from a selected row in a separate Excel file

I am fairly new to Macro and VBA in Excel. I am trying to reduce the amount of work involved in a task that is performed often in our office. Currently, the task involves using 2 separate Excel files. One file is a tracking sheet and the second is the document
that gets sent out to the client. The second document has all the same information that is inserted into the tracking sheet. What I would like to do is have the information that is in one row on the tracking sheet populate into a new excel file that is created
automatically from an existing template.
I have been able to make this partially work. What I have been able to achieve is have the cell that is selected in the tracking sheet (the description field) copy into the new file that is created from the template that is on our server.
Sub NewRFI()
' NewRFI Macro
MsgBox Selection.Address(ReferenceStyle:=xlA1, _
RowAbsolute:=False, ColumnAbsolute:=False)
Selection.Copy
Workbooks.Add Template:= _
"template file path goes here"
Range("C14").Select
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks:= _
False, Transpose:=False
Range("C14").Select
Application.CutCopyMode = False
End Sub
What I need to do is get the rest of the information from that same row in the tracking sheet to copy to the new file as well. The other information includes the document number (one cell to the left of the selected cell), who it is from (one cell to the
right of the selected cell), and the date (two cells to the right of the selected cell). As stated, this information is all in the same row on the tracking sheet. Each piece of information needs to be copied to a certain cell in the new file and I do not want
the source formatting to be copied to the new file.
Ideally, I would like it to operate like so: select the first cell in the row (in this case would be the document number field). Then click a button to run the macro that will then copy the information from that row in the tracking sheet to specific cells
in the new file that is created from the template.
This process will save us from having to either manually copy and paste the information into the new file or re-type the same information that is already in the tracking sheet.
This is probably a simple thing to do but it would be great if anybody had some insight on this issue. Thanks in advance!

Try code like the following. You will have to change the target cells (D25, F1 and H4) to the ones you want, I just used some arbitrary cells as example.
Sub NewRFI()
Dim rngCell As Range
Set rngCell = ActiveCell
MsgBox Selection.Address(ReferenceStyle:=xlA1, _
RowAbsolute:=False, ColumnAbsolute:=False)
Workbooks.Add Template:="template file path goes here"
Range("C14").Value = rngCell.Value
' Change the target cells as needed
Range("D25").Value = rngCell.Offset(0, -1).Value
Range("F1").Value = rngCell.Offset(0, 1).Value

Creating a new Column for my list Versus adding it from existing site columns, when to use each approach

I have created a new issue tracking list inside SharePoint 2013 team site. And it comes with predefined columns, some of them are useful while the other are not . Can anyone help me in figuring out the following:-
The list come with a field named “Assigned To”, while in my case I want a column named “Approver”. So what is preferred , to re-name the “Assumed to ”column to “Approver”, or create new field name “Approver”.?.
If I rename an existing column, could this be overridden in any future updates for my SharePoint server?
Now we want to add a column named “Office location”.so I need to create a new field for this. But seems there are two ways to do so either to add a new Site Column at the site level and then assign it to the list as follow :-
, or to directly adding a column to the list, even if it is not available in the site columns , as follow:-
So what are the differences between the two approaches ? .if I am not wrong defining a site column will allow me to re-use it in another list , but defining the column at the list level, will allow me to add a column even if it is already defined as site
column.
So can anyone advice on my three questions please? Thanks

1) 'Assigned to' has a different meaning then 'Approver' , it will be better if you create a new field for 'Approver'. Assigned to is a Site Column which has managed property for search, so it will be confusing type of data it will return from search in
future.
2) Any rename of fields should not / and will not get modified in SharePoint updates. So, you can rename is without any issue since the internal name will remain the same. But its always better to create your own custom column for business use.
3) Creating a site column or not depends upon your need, If you create a Site Column - in whole site collection you will be able to add this field in any list - It will be crawled, SharePoint will automatically provide managed property for site column and
you will be able to get this value via search. These things will not be present in list column, you will need to do specific settings in case its required.
If these things are needed then you can go for Site Column, usually its good to create a Site Column and use it.
For Site Columns you can check following links

thanks a lot for your reply it is really helpful. so as i understand that using site columns will be better in most cases, and there is not any specific reason for not using it? is this right ?
Second question, do u mean that if i have a list column named "Serial number", then this column will not be searched ? For example if i have serial number such as "12345" and i try searching this text "12345" i will not get
the item in my search ?
Thanks

Creating Activities in CRM using Word Templates and Web Services??

Hi,
This functionality can be achieved through Adobe Interactive Forms from what I have learnt through demos etc. We are checking the feasibility of using with Word Templates instead.
This thread has multiple questions:
We are trying to set up the activity creation as mentioned in the CRM70 system.
1) At this point, finished the retrieval of information from the CRM Activity into a Word Template using a READ Web Service. Subsequently synchronized this with outlook and can see the Word document in the outlook item. Not able to open the same in Outlook, since it comes over as a XML document type. "Cannot open as there is a problem with the contents. ">" expected, line so and so...is the message
2) I created a Web Service that writes as well into CRM and would like to use this from the Word Template to create the activity in CRM
2a) Can the word template be incorporated with buttons that can trigger creation in CRM, similar to Adobe "Execute" etc
2b) If yes, and If there are some custom fields that I add to the activity transaction, in the UI, can I populate these with input from the Word Template, as well
Regards,
Ashwin

Hell Wregs,
You can create the Product in CRM GUI,by using Transaction:COMMPR01,not mandatory to have WebUI..,
but b4 that you need to set up Product Hierarchy and Product category under which the Products can be created.
Use Transaction:COMM_HIERARCHY Transaction to do this.
Hope this helps
let me know if any further questions
Thanks & Regards
