Data Detector and Australian Addresses

Hi all,
While for the most part the data detector in Leopard Mail is good, I've noticed that it doesn't fully understand Australian address formats. It correctly identifies the street number/name and suburb - however it doesn't handle our 4 digit post code (equivalent of zip code) and states.
Is there a regional setting I haven't seen or is it just bug/issue?
Brian

Seems to be bug Brian. I can't get it to add the postcode either, and that's with Australia set as the address format in Address Book.
I can't say if it functions as intended for postal codes in other formats, for other countries.

How to export mail message body data detectors information, not address bok

Is there anyway to export Apple mail's "data detectors" information within the message body other than to the address book? I don't want to export the other non detector information contained in the body of the message. I would also like to include From, Subject and Date. Preferably the export result would be in a organized comma format.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

James,
Two routes to try come to mind, the first being Applescript. Mail is obviously "aware" of the info contained in the detectors, and of course it knows all about what is contained in the header. You can probably use Applescript to extract the desired data, placing it in a Text Edit document. It has been some time since I haves used Applescript myself, so I won't be much help in guiding you. Regardless, you would need to teach yourself how to use Applescript, even with assistance.
The other route to take would be to drag these emails out of Mail to the Finder, creating standard text files. You could then handle them in one of the command line text editors- scripted, of course- to extract and format the needed data. Again, this is something you'd need to explore on your own.
Since these messages all have the same formatting, it is simply a matter of identifying the data you need, then placing that data in a properly formatted text document. Generally speaking, this is part and parcel of what both Applescript be text editors do.

Data socket and broadcast address

it's posible to use broadcast or multicast address to get resources in a local net?, in order not to specify the exact ip address where the resource is located.
many thanks in advance
Mikel Eguiraun

Hi,
you can broadcast using broadcast IP addresses (see link):
http://www.freesoft.org/CIE/RFC/922/10.htm
A broadcast is a data packet that is destined for multiple hosts. Broadcasts can occur at the data link layer and the network layer. Data-link broadcasts are sent to all hosts attached to a particular physical network. Network layer broadcasts are sent to all hosts attached to a particular logical network. The Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) supports the following types of broadcast packets:
•All ones—By setting the broadcast address to all ones (255.255.255.255), all hosts on the network receive the broadcast.
•Network—By setting the broadcast address to a specific network number in the network portion of the IP address and setting all ones in the host portion of the broadcast address, all hosts on the specified network receive the broadcast. For example, when a broadcast packet is sent with the broadcast address of 131.108.255.255, all hosts on network number 131.108 receive the broadcast.
•Subnet—By setting the broadcast address to a specific network number and a specific subnet number, all hosts on the specified subnet receive the broadcast. For example, when a broadcast packet is set with the broadcast address of 131.108.4.255, all hosts on subnet 4 of network 131.108 receive the broadcast.
Also on the next link you can find multicast addresses explanation:
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/cisintwk/ito_doc/ipmulti.htm#wp1020564
You can find several examples of UDP Multicast and broadcast on the Examples of labview (go to Help
-> Find examples -> Search and then you write UDP).
Normally broadcasting and multicasting use that protocol (UDP) due to the fact it do not need an ACK in the communication. If you plan to use TCP then you will need a connection for each computer (IP). There are also examples with labview of TCP with multiple connections.
Hope that info helps u,

Data detectors in emails and calendar items

I'm enjoying many of the improvements in the iPhone 3.0 release, but there is still a shortcoming of the iPhone that really nags me. That is the data detectors. For the most simple cases like a well-formatted address and a phone number without an extension the data detectors work well in emails and calendar items.
However, for numbers with extensions (e.g., 800-555-1234 x99) the data detector identifies the text as a phone number, but is then unable to dial it correctly.
Certain addresses with suite numbers or additional information are not handled correctly either. FOr example:
123 Main Street
Suite 3, Main Tower
Springfield, IL 12345
The city, state, and ZIP are identified, but the additional information on the second line prevents the address from being identified.
While these cases certainly are not the majority of phone numbers and addresses, they are certainly quite common (especially the phone extension case).
Trying to use the iPhone to dial into conference calls is also not easy. While the phone number is often recognized, I have to copy down or remember the code that must be dialed after the call is made. If an extension to the data detector for phone numbers could be added to look for things like 6-digit codes shortly following a phone number, or numeric strings following a phone number and the word "code", this would certainly help. Also, fixing the dialing extension issue above could allow people to provide the dial-in code as an extension (e.g., 888-555-1234 x123456).
Does this bug anyone else?

I should add that not only is the detector unable to dial a phone number with an extension, it actually breaks the ability to dial the number. The detector does detect the extension and underlines it as part of the phone number it detects, but when you tap to dial, you get a standard phone service message that the "number is unable to be dialed". Grrr!!!!
So not only does the detector not give you the ability to dial a number with an extension, it PREVENTS you from dialing the number at all if there is an extension following a phone number in your email/calendar item.
Hope this gets fixed soon -- this is a big complaint of "corporate" iPhone users that are used to the Blackberry dealing with these things easily...

Data in my iMac address book and iCloud contacts do not match.

The data in my iMac address book and iCloud contacts are different. How can I get my iCloud data to accruately reflect that of my iMac address book? It appears to be an initial synchronization issue. New entries synchronize fine. Appears that initial entries in my Address Book are not showing up in the iCloud Contacts list. Hense, My iPhone coantacts don't match those in my iMac.
Is there a way to clean out my iCloud contacts on reload/re-sychronize it with my iMac Address Book?

Nuts isn't it. This seems to have been an issue snce dAY 1. iT FROSTS ME THAT THERE IS NO SIMPLE QUICK WAY TO UPDATE OR CORRECT the data in both programs simultaneously.. Thats why i decided to just put everytning into the i cloud address brook, and let the one other sit and rot.
then i got smart and said, why don't I delete the outlookaddress book files. and save on confusion.
result - both addresses books and their contents became invisible to outlook.!!!!!! and I can find no way to correct this...to go back to the imperfect world that was.
I did get the outlook contact s back from an archive - but any thing from icloud has become inaccessible from outlook. (fortunately i can get the vcard infformation directly from icloud. but I can't access it from outlook mail.... means no replying, forwarding etc - and a time swallowing nuisance..
aNYONE WILLING TO DUMP SEWAGE ON MICROSOFT AND aPPLE... UNCOOPERATIVE TWITS. - boh should be smacked.

How to export Date book and Address book from Palm Desktop to Apple iCal and Address Book?

I have my calendar information and addresses stored in Palm Desktop date book and address book, respectively. I am running Palm Desktop 4.2.1. Everytime I try to export the date book or address book to my desktop using the vCal format, the Palm desktop crashes. My goal is to export all my data from Palm Desktop to iCal and Address Book on the Apple OS (10.6.1). Does anyone have any advice as to how I can do this or do I just have to start from scratch and manually enter the data from Palm Desktop to Apple iCal and Address Book? I looked at the Missing Sync software, but I don't think this will do the trick. The Genius Bar at the Apple Store didn't offer any solutions either. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Post relates to: Palm V

Hello tay8000m and welcome to the Palm forums.
Have you tried running the "Repair Disk Permissions" command in Apple's Disk Utility application yet? Launch Disk Utility, select "Macintosh HD" from the left side of the window, and then click the "Repair Disk Permissions" button.
After the utility has run, try launching Palm Desktop again and then exporting your data as vCard or iCal files. If the exports aren't working for you, you can always export the data as comma separated values (.csv) file and then import that into the Apple apps you want to use.

On the initial set up for apple tv it just sits there trying to set the date and time . it is a wireless setup and the ipaddress and router address is correct . I can't get by this screen

On the initial set up for apple tv it just sits there trying to set the date and time . it is a wireless setup and the ipaddress and router address is correct . I can't get by this screen. The setting is on automatic and I have picked a city in my time zone yet it still tries to set a time and date but fails.
thanks

Make sure router is up to date. Try ethernet to rule out any wifi issues. Reboot ATV and router.

SLcM and Experian Data Quality (QAS) Pro address verification service

Does SLcM integrate with Experian Data Quality (QAS) Pro address verification service? Is so how and is there any documentation on it? Also are there any institutions that are doing it and are available as a reference?
Thanks,
Stan

Stan,
I don't think there is any documentation out there. But it can be integrated using Web-service, Interfaces and Scripting. We integrated SLcM with QAS for one of our client.

Can I use my Address Book to create a data base and then merge from it to create mailing labels?

Is it possible to use my Address Book to create a data base and then merge from it to create mailing labels?
Thanks,
CF

I know one way, it is not elegant but it does work.
1. Open Thunderbird. (download here: https://www.mozilla.org/EN/thunderbird/)
2. Click on Address Book.
3. On the left in the new window is a list of your Address books and groups. Select the one you want.
Your addresses will appear to the right.
4. In Thunderbird / Tools select Export, and Save as "Comma Separated".
You can open that list of addresses in Excel or in FileMaker Pro. Mail merge proceeds from there.

Data Detector Format

If I add a new contact directly in Address Book, it is created as "Last First Middle Suffix"; however, if I add via a Mail data detector it is created as "Last Middle First Suffix".
Is there a way to correct this, so the two are identical?

Thanks, Denis.
But my question is if I need to convert the data into the special format? Not How.
For instance, the value I have is 10 and do I need to convert it into "10.00 "?
Thanks,
Dennis

Data Detector removal

How do I remove the data detector from the Mail. I copy and paste email addresses and peoples name and address all day long from emails. The data detector only gets in the way and makes it hard to copy. So I really want to get rid of it in the new Mail that came with Leopard. I would appreciate any help I can get.

He should also need to disable the data guard configuration and set the LOG_ARCHIVE_CONFIG to null.
OganHi, Ogan Ozdogan.
Thanks for your comments. Disabling - I mean removing them, not DEFER-ing.
By the way, the error which you are talking about, is possible also with STREAMS configuration.

Mail data detector errors

Mail improperly renders the screen areas around data detectors. This includes times, addresses, and URLs. I'm attaching an example showing three improperly rendered data detectors in one email. Has anyone else experienced this? This happens in OS X 10.7 and 10.8 Mail. Scrolling the email leaves the blotchy spots in place on the screen with the email moving up and down behind it. I've reset my graphics card and parameter ram to no effect. Any suggestions? It's really annoying.
-Dave

Yeah. Same thing here. I thought it was just a "one day" thing (as I don't use Mail too often) but the issue persisted. go into terminal and paste this:
defaults write com.apple.mail DisableDataDetectors YES
seemed to do the trick.

Issues with Using Data Dashboard and Using Web Service

After running a system for many months it has suddenly decided to not work at all. I am using Data Dashboard to read variables on a host. I'll outline the system here to get a baseline:
I'm running LV 2012 SP1 f5.
I collect data from one Ethernet port and interfact it to another Ethernet port to form a proxy.
I use a fixed IP address from my DSL along with port forwarding/port triggering in my router for data observation and control.
So, what have I done so far?
1. Repaired my original LV 2012 SP1 and tested system.
2. Upgraded to LV 2012 SP1 f5 and tested system.
3. Ran service.msc and checked all the NI services that should be operational. Started and stopped several of them and rebooted computer.
4. Deployed all my SVs (multiple times)
5. Disconnected second Ethernet interface becasue sometimes the variables would deploy to this IP address.
6. Turned off my wireless because sometimes the variables would deploy to this IP address.
7. Checked "Web Server Configuration" "Application Web Server" for correct port number.
8. Checked "Web Services Management" and under "Deployed Web Services" there is one category: SV is marked as running. NOTE!! WebService is NOT listed and this could be a problem
I can use the following to retrieve data&colon; localhost:<port number>/sv/variable. But when I substitute my DSL IP number, I can no longer get any data.
So, what am I missing?
Thanks,
Paul.

Siana,
Thanks for your response.
I haven't touched the NI code in months. It is running on an XP laptop and I have the Windows updates turned off. McAfee is running on it and of course that updates regularily. This laptop is a dedicated machine that I only use for this function, nothing else. I haven't added or subtracted any programs for many months.
There have been no changes to the DSL from me. AT&T is constantly trying to get us to upgrade to U-Verse but we have resisted. All DSL modem and router hardware is the same.
Confusing, huh?

Difference b/w DATA TYPE and DATA OBJECT & differences b/w TYPE and LIKE

hai
can any one say the differences between Data type and Data Object.
And also differences between TYPE and LIKE
thanks
Gani

hi,
_Data Types and Data Objects_
      Programs work with local program data that is, with byte sequences in the working memory. Byte sequences that belong together are called fields and are characterized by a length, an identity (name), and as a further attribute by a data type. All programming languages have a concept that describes how the contents of a field are interpreted according to the data type.
      In the ABAP type concept, fields are called data objects. Each data object is thus an instance of an abstract data type. There are separate name spaces for data objects and data types. This means that a name can be the name of a data object as well as the name of a data type simultaneously.
Data Types
   As well as occurring as attributes of a data object, data types can also be defined independently. You can then use them later on in conjunction with a data object. The definition of a user-defined data type is based on a set of predefined elementary data types. You can define data types either locally in the declaration part of a program using the TYPESstatement) or globally in the ABAP Dictionary. You can use your own data types to declare data objects or to check the types of parameters in generic operations.
     All programming languages distinguish between various types of data with various uses, such as .. type data for storing or displaying values and numerical data for calculations. The attributes in question are described using data types. You can define, for example, how data is stored in the repository, and how the ABAP statements work with the data.
Data types can be divided into elementary, reference, and complex types.
a. Elementary Types
These are data types of fixed or variable length that are not made up of other types.
The difference between variable length data types and fixed length data types is that the length and the memory space required by data objects of variable length data types can change dynamically during runtime, and that these data types cannot be defined irreversibly while the data object is being declared.
Predefined and User-Defined Elementary Data Types
You can also define your own elementary data types in ABAP using the TYPES statement. You base these on the predefined data types. This determines all of the technical attributes of the new data type. For example, you could define a data type P_2 with two decimal places, based on the predefined data type P. You could then use this new type in your data declarations.
b. Reference Types
Reference types are deep data types that describe reference variables, that is, data objects that contain references. A reference variable can be defined as a component of a complex data object such as a structure or internal table as well as a single field.
c. Complex Data Types
Complex data types are made up of other data types. A distinction is made here between structured types and table types.
Data Objects
      Data objects are the physical units with which ABAP statements work at runtime. The contents of a data object occupy memory space in the program. ABAP statements access these contents by addressing the name of the data object and interpret them according to the data type.. For example, statements can write the contents of data objects in lists or in the database, they can pass them to and receive them from routines, they can change them by assigning new values, and they can compare them in logical expressions.
       Each ABAP data object has a set of technical attributes, which are fully defined at all times when an ABAP program is running (field length, number of decimal places, and data type). You declare data objects either statically in the declaration part of an ABAP program (the most important statement for this is DATA), or dynamically at runtime (for example, when you call procedures). As well as fields in the memory area of the program, the program also treats literals like data objects.
        A data object is a part of the repository whose content can be addressed and interpreted by the program. All data objects must be declared in the ABAP program and are not persistent, meaning that they only exist while the program is being executed. Before you can process persistent data (such as data from a database table or from a sequential file), you must read it into data objects first. Conversely, if you want to retain the contents of a data object beyond the end of the program, you must save it in a persistent form.
Declaring Data Objects
      Apart from the interface parameters of procedures, you declare all of the data objects in an ABAP program or procedure in its declaration part. These declarative statements establish the data type of the object, along with any missing technical attributes. This takes place before the program is actually executed. The technical attributes can then be queried while the program is running.
     The interface parameters of procedures are generated as local data objects, but only when the procedure is actually called. You can define the technical attributes of the interface parameters in the procedure itself. If you do not, they adopt the attributes of the parameters from which they receive their values.
ABAP contains the following kinds of data objects:
a. Literals
Literals are not created by declarative statements. Instead, they exist in the program source code. Like all data objects, they have fixed technical attributes (field length, number of decimal places, data type), but no name. They are therefore referred to as unnamed data objects.
b. Named Data Objects
Data objects that have a name that you can use to address the ABAP program are known as named objects. These can be objects of various types, including text symbols, variables and constants.
Text symbols are pointers to texts in the text pool of the ABAP program. When the program starts, the corresponding data objects are generated from the texts stored in the text pool. They can be addressed using the name of the text symbol.
Variables are data objects whose contents can be changed using ABAP statements. You declare variables using the DATA, CLASS-DATA, STATICS, PARAMETERS, SELECT-OPTIONS, and RANGESstatements.
Constants are data objects whose contents cannot be changed. You declare constants using the CONSTANTSstatement.
c. Anonymous Data Objects
Data objects that cannot be addressed using a name are known as anonymous data objects. They are created using the CREATE DATAstatement and can be addressed using reference variables.
d. System-Defined Data Objects
System-defined data objects do not have to be declared explicitly - they are always available at runtime.
e. Interface Work Areas
Interface work areas are special variables that serve as interfaces between programs, screens, and logical databases. You declare interface work areas using the TABLES and NODESstatements.
What is the difference between Type and Like?
Answer1:
TYPE, you assign datatype directly to the data object while declaring.
LIKE,you assign the datatype of another object to the declaring data object. The datatype is referenced indirectly.
Answer2:
Type is a keyword used to refer to a data type whereas Like is a keyword used to copy the existing properties of already existing data object.
Answer3:
type refers the existing data type
like refers the existing data object
reward if useful
thanks and regards

Migrate WSUS server from 2003x86 to 2008x64, new hardware, use same name and IP address?

Searching through the WSUS forums and reading the TechNET migration documentation, I have bits and pieces of information to make this a smooth transition...I think. I have a plan in mind but
would like the communities input on what I am thinking before moving forward and having it blowup in my face :). <o:p></o:p>
I have the following currently:<o:p></o:p>
A single WSUS 3.0 SP2 server, running on Server Win2003x86, using the default WID (susdb.mdf) on the same server. I have SQL 2005 Express installed on this server as well for other services
but this has no bearing on the WID correct?<o:p></o:p>
What I would like to do:<o:p></o:p>
I have a new server (a much better one) that I would like to move WSUS on to, that will be running Server Win2008x64 (I have to setup first). <o:p></o:p>
Steps that I would like to follow:<o:p></o:p>
1. I will go through and setup this new server with all M$ updates etc... under a new name (ex. wsusnew) and DHCP acquired IP address and then power it down. <o:p></o:p>
2. Get on my current WSUS server and backup all current WSUS settings, groups, DB etc... to a network location for temporary storage. Then power it down.<o:p></o:p>
3. Delete the current WSUS server computer object in AD, DNS entry I will leave because my intension is to give the same IP address to the new WSUS server.<o:p></o:p>
4. Start the new server, static assign the IP address from the old WSUS server to this new server and then change the name of (wsusnew) to the old servers name, which should be ok sense I deleted
the AD object in step 3.<o:p></o:p>
5. After the obvious restart, the new server will have the same name and IP address as the old server. <o:p></o:p>
6. Now that the new server is up (with same settings name/IP as old server), I will then go through and install the WSUS role on the server and restore my WSUS information.<o:p></o:p>
Questions:<o:p></o:p>
1. Step 2 above, is it possible to do this, without making replica servers? I kept reading about this as I was researching doing this, I would rather just copy the DB and folders and simply
put them in-place on the new server.<o:p></o:p>
2. Step 6 above, restoring of the data, what is the proper way to do this in the scenarioI described? <o:p></o:p>
Thank you to anyone who can provide me some information.
Jeff

Thank you for the reply, I will follow and let you know. Proabably be next week sometime before I'm able to try though. So look for a reponse then. Thank you again.
Jeff
OR...
You can use the much more simple, much more reliable, and much more proven method of:
Install new server as a replica of the old.
Replicate.
Configure new server as upstream server.
Point clients to new server.
Turn off old server after all clients have redirected to the new server.
For everybody that has tried the backup/restore the database procedure described above, they have encounted complications of one form or another.
WSUS has a built-in and fully supported comprehensive replication capbility. use it! :-)
