[CS4-CS5] Importing anchored objects into a table

Hi,
do you know if is it possible to import a table in ID through an XML file positioning an image (as an anchored object) within a cell?
I'm currently importing a table but it looks to me like it's not possible to add images...
I tried with this XML:
<Container xmlns:aid="http://ns.adobe.com/AdobeInDesign/4.0/">
<Table aid:trows="10" aid:tcols="5" aid:table="table">
<Cell aid:table="cell" aid:theader="" aid:crows="1" aid:ccols="1">...</Cell>
<Cell aid:table="cell" aid:theader="" aid:crows="1" aid:ccols="1"><Image href="file:///Users/Me/Desktop/Image.jpg"/></Cell>
</Table>
</Container>
but it doesn't work at all.
Also, if I export XML structure after inserting an image within a cell it doesn't appear in the exported XML.
I doubt it's possible...
Thanks anticipately!

Importing excel data into oracle tables

Hello gurus,
Importing excel data into oracle tables..
I know this is the most common question on the thread ...First, i searched the forum, i found bunch of threads with loading data using sqlloader, converting excel into .Txt, tab delimited file, .csv file etc....
Finally i was totally confused in terms how to get this done....
Here is wat i have
   - Excel file on local computer.
   - i have laod data into dev environment tables(So no risk involved, but want to try something simple)
   - Oracle version 11.1.0.7
   - Sqlplus and toad (editors)
Here is wat i like to do ....i dont know if its possible
    - Without going to unix server can i do everthing on local system by making use of oracle db and sqlplus or toad
   SQLLOADER might be one option...but i dont want to go the unix server for placing files and logs and stuff.
Wat will be best and simplest option to do?? and wat format will best to convert from excel into csv, or txt or tab delimited etc.....
If you suggest sqlloader, any code example will be greatly appriciated.
Thank you so much!!!

Imran,
This is increadible option in toad!!! It works absolutely sweet!! I have toad 9.7 version. IT works great. Thank you so much!!You are welcome :)
Well i have further discussion on this ....this option is great if you doing in staging or development area. What if your doing in prod?? If you automating the sqlloader then how do u do it?? I think we still need to stick with traditional approach of laoding data by making use of SQLLoader right ?? If m wrong please correct me.well, in our case, we do have access to a custom schema in prod where we create the staging table and load the data from datafiles.
try this:
load data
infile 'C:\dest.csv'
into table dest_table
fields terminated by "~" optionally enclosed by '"'
TRAILING NULLCOLS
(name,
owner_nm,
description_column,
UPDT_DT DATE 'MM/DD/YYYY')
{code}
you can get more info about sql loader and your error here:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96652/ch05.htm
http://www.allinterview.com/showanswers/53766.html
And one more quick question ...i found an example of control file , in that i see .dat format file. Is it a data file ?? can i try that option ?? But in excel i didnt see to convert the .dat format file.
Any thoughts ???
It is same as a delimiter text file.
steps to create a .dat file (from a excel file):
1. Insert a column between two columns and populate it with the delimiter (in our case, it is ~)
2. Save the file as unicode text.
3. Open the file in text editor and remove all the tabs (find an replace with blank)
4. Save the file as "DEST.dat". Select encoding as UTF-8 while saving.
5. Your .dat file is ready.

Can we import 3D objects into AE?

I have v6.5 and in the manual it says AE can import certain 3D files. Yet everyone in this forum always say to render stuff in whatever 3D app and import the *video* into AE. Even 3D plugins like zaewerks seem to export only video into AE, not 3D model (or so I'm told).
So what is it, can AE read 3D models or not? If not, is there any reason why it hasn't been improved to do so? Shouldn't this be a high priority thing and easy to do, since it's already almost there.
If yes, why isn't anyone doing it? At least I haven't read about how to import 3D objects into AE.

This area of functionality has changed little between After Effects 6.5 and CS3, so the
" 3D files from other applications" section of After Effects CS3 Help on the Web is still relevant for you.
Here's an excerpt:
"After Effects can import 3D-image files saved in Softimage PIC, RLA, RPF, and Electric Image EI format. These 3D-image files contain red, green, blue, and alpha (RGBA) channels, as well as auxiliary channels with optional information, such as z depth, object IDs, texture coordinates....
After Effects treats each composited 3D file from another application as a single 2D layer. That layer, as a whole, can be given 3D attributes and treated like any After Effects 3D layer, but the objects contained within that 3D file cannot be manipulated individually in 3D space. To access the 3D depth information and other auxiliary channel information in 3D image files, use the 3D Channel effects."
Also, you can import camera data and other data from 3D applications.
So, yes, you can import files from 3D applications; but, no, you can't import 3D models per se and do new camera moves on them, et cetera.
Yes, this is a common feature request. Yes, it is being very seriously considered.
P.S. Mylenium has a lot of information about working with After Effects and data from 3D applications on his website: http://mylenium.de/creation/motiondesign/ae_vault/ae_vault_main.html

Hi,
don't mentioning why are You importing SYSTEM objects, the error that You have, just looking the message, is due to an export done without the clause CONSISTENT=Y (so all relations parent/child preserved) having the replication (the table in error is one of the replication dictionary table) active (not quisced)
Repeat the export operation using CONSISTENT=Y an stop replication activity.
Hope this helps

Copy paste anchored objects in a table

Hi all!
I must design very often posters with a lot of brands logos (events sponsors) distribuited like anchored objects in the cells of a table.
Very frecuently, the list of brands changes after designed the poster, adding or deleting someones, and then i must replace the logos one by one.
I'm programming a script that moves the content of the cells, making space to the new inserts, or filling the space leaved by brands out. I use the "content" property of the object "cell", and it really works with text (its useful for me in others cases, anyway) but it makes absolutly nothing with the anchored objects.
Somebody have any idea that can help me?
Thanks for your help, and sorry for my english!
Jose

Oh, and what is very helpful:
The parent of an anchored object is a Character Object.
Example 1:
A text frame with an anchored object (the magenta square).
The text frame is selected.
If you ask for the count of characters in the text frame:
app.selection[0].characters.length;
The answer is "5"!
The anchor, that is indeed the anchored rectangle, is treated as a character.
If you select the anchored object and ask for its parent:
app.selection[0].parent;
The answer is "[object Character]".
To move such an anchored object without loosing its anchordness, you have to move the character.
In the above case, the character is characters[0] of the text frame. Or more precise, the characters[0] of texts[0] (all formatted text in the text frame) of the text frame. You also could go a step backward and say: in this case it's the characters[0] of texts[0] of the parentStory of the text frame
To move it somewhere else (e.g. to a cell of a table), you must move it to another Text object.
Every insertion point is a text object (like every character).
Example 2:
A table comes into play:
The text frame is still selected.
And the following code will move the anchored object (indeed the character) to the table:
var myTextFrame = app.selection[0];
var myTable = myTextFrame.parentStory.tables[0];
myTextFrame.characters[0].move(LocationOptions.AFTER, myTable.cells[0].insertionPoints[0]);
Situation after executing the snippet:
Hope that helps,
Uwe

Help with Importing Excel Data into Formatted Tables

This is my first post, here, so please be gentle!
I am a relatively new user of InDesign CS4, and I am creating a 70-pg manufacturer's price book. A very large portion of each page is going to be size and price information imported from a large Excel spreadsheet.
I have created the table format that I'd like to use for each page, but the trouble comes when I import the Excel data into that table. For some reason, when I import, it all dumps into one cell. Would it be best to import as an unformatted table, and then format the table each time, or is there a way to simply import the data into my pre-formatted table? I've seen how the former is done, but the latter seems much easier (...although that could be my inexperience talking).
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks so much,
Laura (V1500)

Thank you both so much for your time! This is exactly what I needed.
Cheers

Droping an object into a table

I am trying to put a text field into a cell on a table. Everytime I do it puts it outside the table to the right. I have tried other objects and I have the same problem. Thanks in advance.

No, I just imported it. The cells that had checkboxes are usable. But if there was nothing in a cell, I can't do anything with. If I drop a text field or a check box. It seems to big and puts the field out side of the table to the right. It appears to be in the same row but, it is outside the table. If I create a table form scratch, I still have problems dropping objects into the cells. I am not sure whats going on it seems like putting checkboxes and text fields into tables would be basic.

Importing CSV files into Multiple Tables in One Database

I have a web based solution using Microsoft SharePoint and SQL Server that is created to centralize dat collection and reporting of program metrics used in montly reviews.
A person from each program enters dat manual or by pushing the data using automated data import tools. The user then is able to generate reports and provide presentations to their stakeholders.
There are are programs that are located in US and 2 that are located in Japan. All, including programs in Japan use the MS Project with a plug-in tool that allows them to auto input data. When the user click the "Send To.." button, the data goes
in to multiple tables in one database.
Everything is set up exactly the same for every program; however, we have discovered becase of a firewall, along with some of the different settings that the MS Project has over in Japan, the 2 program users are not able to auto import their data.
The suggestion is to have the program users export the MS Project file into a CSV and email it. I will then take it and convert the data, such as the dates and place them on a Network Drive. There will be 2 folders, one for each program.
I feel it will be an easy process just to load the data from the Network Drive into the same tables that are created for auto import.
My Concerns/Questions:
1. Should I create 1 SSIS package or should there be 2, one for each program?
2. US and Japan program users send their data once a month. The converted files are going to be saved in the location marked with a date (ex:201402). How can i have it to where SSIS will automatically load the data every time i place new files in the designated
folders or when i update an exsisting file?
Can you provide an example with your suggestion please?
I greatly appreciate the assistance!
Y_Tyler

Hello Vikash,
Thank you! This will help me get started.
There will be 2 folders, one with files with Program A data and the other with files with Program B data. All will have the same fields, just coming from different programs. You stated that I will be able to to load both in one package. Would there be two
paths since there will be two separate folders?
Using the example you provided, i am confident that I can create the package using one path into one table but not sure how to get the files from 2 paths (if there is) into multiple tables.
Can you help clarify this for me?
Thank you!

Import design object into integration repository

HI.
We are going to import "XI3_0_SAP_BASIS_6.40_SP09_01.tpz" into integration reposiotry. So, we move this file into "G:\usr\sap\DEV\SYS\global\xi\repository_server\import" and start integration reposiotry.
Then, I clicked tool -> import design object but system can't find any object.
How can I fix this ?
Regards, Arnold.

Hi,
Generally, the import of this component is done during installation itself, just check if the installation has been completed. Check out michal's FAQ blog to get simple steps to check if installation has been completed properly. You can probably copy the tpz version of the SAP BASIS component again from the installation DVD and try and import it.
Btw, what kind of a platform is XI running on - Unix platform? Whatever it is, are you able to see the tpz file at its location? Check if the folder that the tpz if existing in has all the permissions to pick up the file.

Best way to import all objects into work repository located on a new master respository

Hi,
We have two separate master repositories, one for all development work repositories (Development, ST, UAT, IAT), and one for Production.
What would be the best approach to export and import all objects from the Dev Repository into the Prod Work Repository located on the Prod Master Repository.
Internal Ids of all work repositories are different.
We have tried putting everything into a solution and exporting that, but that did not work when we tried to import it.
We successfully exported and imported a single scenario, however this is not very practical as we have over 500 scenarios.
All suggestions welcome,
Thanks,
Nic

Thanks,
But we want to keep Dev Work Repositories separate to Prod Work Repositories on their respective Master Repositories.
So our end result will have:
1) All Development Work Repositories located in the Development Master Repository on the Development server.
2) The Production Work Repository located on the Production Master Repository on the Production Server.
3) The ability to update a Solution or similar in Development with all changes to any objects.
4) The ability to import the Solution into the Prod Work Repo on the Prod Master Repo and execute via a load plan.
Is this possible?

Importing SAS Datasets into Oracle Tables

Is there a way to load SAS Data sets into Oracle Tables through SQL loader/SQL Dvlpr Migration Workbench/DataPump?
MS Access has facility to import SAS Datasets into its .mdb files,
but Would greatly appreciate if anyone could suggest a direct load into Oracle
Volume : 0.4 M records
Thanks a bunch!

Hello,
Datapump can use Dump from Datapump only. So, I don't think this utility could help you.
SQL*Loader could be useful if you can extract from SAS a formated file (for instance CSV file).
Oracle SQL Developer can help you to migrate data from MS Access to Oracle.
Please, find below a useful link about how to migrate data from SAS to Oracle:
