Sony Image Data Converter no longer opens RAW files

After upgrading to Snow Leopard Sony Image Data Converter (ver 3.1) cannot open my RAW files. It sees the files but claims they are 0x0 pixels in size. It worked fine with Leopard 10.5.8.

Image Data Converter v2.2.02 also fails to open any files but was OK in 10.5.8. Image Data Lightbox v1.0.02 does run OK, opens a directory of files fine, and converts them. The app crashes on exit every time however!
Adobe Camera RAW and Adobe Elements v6 all work perfectly well. But I have never been able to see ARW images in Adobe Bridge!

Data convertion while exporting data into flat files using export wizard in ssis

Hi ,
while exporting data to flat file through export wizard the source table is having NVARCHAR types.
could you please help me on how to do the data convertion while using the export wizard?
Thanks.

Hi Avs sai,
By default, the columns in the destination flat file will be non-Unicode columns, e.g. the data type of the columns will be DT_STR. If you want to keep the original DT_WSTR data type of the input column when outputting to the destination file, you can check
the Unicode option on the “Choose a Destination” page of the SQL Server Import and Export Wizard. Then, on the “Configure Flat File Destination” page, you can click the Edit Mappings…“ button to check the data types. Please see the screenshot:

Problem in date converting into dbFormat()

Respected Experts,
I am get the current date into String vaiable and from this string variable i want to convert into dateformat.
For converting to date format i write the .java file. It converts date correctly into format "dd/mm/yyyy" but i want date format into "dd/mm/yyyy HH:MM.pm/am", so what change should i do in my following progaram.
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.text.DateFormat;
import java.text.ParseException;
import java.util.Date;
public class UtilityFunction
     public static String toUserFormatDate(Date dt)throws ParseException
     SimpleDateFormat sdf=new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy");
     String str=sdf.format(dt);
     return str;
     public static java.sql.Date toDbFormatDate(String sdt)throws ParseException
     SimpleDateFormat sdf=new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy");
     Date d=sdf.parse(sdt);
     SimpleDateFormat nsdf=new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MM-yyyy");
     String str=nsdf.format(d);
     Date nd=nsdf.parse(str);
     java.sql.Date rdate= new java.sql.Date(nd.getTime());
     return rdate;
     public static void main(String args[])throws ParseException
          SimpleDateFormat df=new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MM-yyyy");
          Date d2 =df.parse("08-09-1984");
          System.out.println("Date converted to User interface form");
          System.out.println("Database Date"+"08-09-1984");
          String p=toUserFormatDate(d2);
          System.out.println("Converted date"+p);
          java.sql.Date r=toDbFormatDate("12/12/2009");
          System.out.println("Date converted to database form");
          System.out.println("User Interface Date"+"12/12/2009");
          System.out.println("Converted date"+r);
}

After 22 posts on the forums, I'd have expected you to have learnt how to use the code tags by now (click on 'CODE' when posting)
And while you get points for posting an SSCCE, you've left too much fluff in there. I don't know what method you want to discuss.
And if you've reached this far with the SimpleDateFormat, what kept you from reading the rest of patterns available? It's all the same thing, you just needed to make it dd/MM/yyyy hh:mm a
Do note that with your code, you're creating a date from a string that's missing the time, so you'll only get 12:00 AM all the time, for the above pattern. And also, you'd be using hh and not HH since putting AM/PM with 24 hour clock time is plain dumb.

Gregorian-Hijri Dates Converter

Hello Experts;
I am looking for ABAP Report/Function module for "Gregorian <=> Hijri Dates Converter".
Any assistance in this regards would be highly appriciated and points will be rewarded.
Looking forward for your usual prompt and professional advice...
Best Regards,
Aslam
You may ask... What is Hijri Calender?
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hijri">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hijri</a>
The Islamic calendar or Muslim calendar (also called "Hijri calendar", Arabic) is the calendar used to date events in many predominantly Muslim countries, and used by Muslims everywhere to determine the proper day on which to celebrate Islamic holy days. It is a lunar calendar having 12 lunar months in a year of about 354 days. Because this lunar year is about 11 days shorter than the solar year, Islamic holy days, although celebrated on fixed dates in their own calendar, usually shift 11 days earlier each successive solar year, such as a year of the Gregorian calendar. Islamic years are also called Hijra years because the first year was the year during which the Hijra occurred Muhammad's emigration from Mecca to Medina. Thus each numbered year is designated either H or AH, the latter being the initials of the Latin anno Hegirae (in the year of the Hijra).

Hi,
        use the below sub-routines in ABAP to convert Gregorian to Hijri dates and vice versa

PL/SQL Character to date convertion issue

Dear all,
I encounter an issue with character to date convertions in PL/SQL.
The following is a short description:
I use an Oracle DBMS 8i and the problem is a wrong insertion of a date value to a column table.
The date value is retrieved from a table and is type of VARCHAR2(240). Then a convertion to the DATE type takes place and this value (date) is inserted to another table column of type DATE.
For example if the date retrieved as VARCHAR2 is '21/05/2003' the value inserted is '21/5/0003'.
The convertion is made by the following portion of code:
dateVariable Date := NULL:
dateStringVariable is retrieved from the db and is type of VARCHAR2(240)
DATE_FORMAT is a string retireved from the db with value equals to 'DD/MM/YYYY HH24:MI:SS'
dateVariable := TO_DATE(dateStringVariable, DATE_FORMAT);
Then the dateVariable is inserted to a recordSet which in turn is the one inserted to the db.
My guess is that the problem is during the char to date convertion.
I wonder if anyone knows what produces this error.
Any suggestion is welcome.
With regards

SQL> desc t
Name Null? Type
DATE# DATE
SQL> alter session set nls_date_format = 'DD-MON-RR';
Session altered.
SQL> select * from t;
no rows selected
SQL> insert into t values(to_date('21/05/2003','DD/MM/YYYY'));
1 row created.Now Oracle keeps correct date - 21th of May 2003.
How you display it depends on your NLS_DATE_FORMAT settings:
SQL> select * from t;
DATE#
21-MAY-03
SQL> alter session set nls_date_format = 'MM/DD/YYYY';
Session altered.
SQL> select * from t;
DATE#
05/21/2003So now try to do
SELECT to_char(<<your new date column>>,'DD/MM/YYYY') from <<your table>>
to be sure your date is kept right.
Rgds.

Since installation of Mountain Lion the latest version of sony Image Data Converter doesn't work anymore. How can I tackle this problem?

HI,
I have seen this with AIM Logins that use the SSL Server and not the original server that was non SSL
Since iChat 6 the server name has also changed as has the Login port (Although we were suggesting using the port 443).
The AIM SSL server "Falls Over" more frequently than the other server.
Also iChat/Messages reconnects automatically to the NON SSL server but not to the SSL one (It is a security risk)
You had to manually Log out by Untick "Enable this Account" then Log back in again.
I have not seen this happen in Jabber accounts but I don't use my computer the same way you do.
Jabber Servers tend to either use SSL or Not and can rarely login if you change to not using SLL.
It also seems a bit strange that Disabling the account, as you phrase it, and re-enabling does not work.
For Googletalk Logins try logging out then changing the port to 443 (Googletalk allows this port as well as 5223)
Also check the Keychain (Applications/Utilities > Keychain Access) and see if there is an issue with any Gmail or Googletalk certificate.

How to Push the into SAP ( XML data converted into IDOC )

Hi
i am getting XML file from Non SAP system.I need to push XML data into SAP on daily basis with out using XI as the middleware.
I know if i get text file will use BDC's or LSMW. But i am getting data in XML format and then i need to converted into IDOC format and stored in to sap data base tables.
Thanks for advance.
srini

Is the XML an IDOC-XML or custom XML that you need to post as an IDOC??
If it is IDOC-XML you need to defined XMLFile port to process the IDOC-XML without any mapping.
If it is a custom XML, parse the XML data into an internal table (as required) & continue with BDC or IDOC posting as you wish.
Check for XML parsing programs..

Date converting to less one day while transferring from client to server

Hi,
I have very typical problem. My application is in java, we are using oralce 9ias. The problem when the server is running in german locale and client is running in english. We the date value is passed from client to server it is converting to one day less.
i.e.
If i want to search with records jan 02,2005,
on server side if we print the value it is getting as jan 01,2005.
Can anybody help me in solving the above problem.
Its bit very urgent.
Thanks in advance
regards
Kalyan

well, i have had nightmares with this problem. here are the reason and soln:
reason:
in ur DB, u r using a field "Date" which does not include time information. Hence, any date will be taken at 00:00:00. If such a date is opened in some other timezone, which is ahead of the server timezone, the date differs by one. This is becoz java always considers the millisecond info encapsulated in the date, calendar.
soln:
Step 1:
u must be able to get the "timeZoneOffset" from a calendar object. This timeZoneOffset will give the number of minutes/seconds/hours... by which the system is offset from GMT.
Thus if u create a calendar in India, the timeZoneOffset will be 330. If you create the calendar in UK, it will be 0.
To achieve this, we have made an object-UTCDate. This class encapsulates a Calendar. It has a function called "getTimeZoneOffset".
Step 2:
Once u get the timeZoneOffset, here is what u need to do in ur code. (assume that the timeZoneOffset is in minutes. the variable names will be self-explanatory)
at the client side code:
long timeInMillis = calendar.getTime().getTime() + (timeZoneOffsetOfTheCalendarReceivedFromServer * 60 * 1000 ) - (timeZoneOffsetOfClient * 60 * 60 )
use timeInMillis to make a new Date Object and use this date object.
at the server side code:
long timeInMillis = calendar.getTime().getTime() + (timeZoneOffsetOfTheCalendarReceivedFromClient * 60 * 1000 ) - (timeZoneOffsetOfServer * 60 * 60 )
hope this helps.
regards

Problem with date convert ion

Date issue - month converting to date and date converting to month

I've got some data in a text file for SQLLDR from an SQL SERVER.
The date columns in it are in YYYY-MM-DD format eg- 2011-01-03 00:00:00
but in oracle we are using MM-DD-RRRR.
Don't know why DD and MM are getting interchanged. Please help.
This is my control file for sqlldr:
LOAD DATA
INFILE 'F:\NV\Permits\SQLLDR\permits.txt'
REPLACE
INTO TABLE lot.p_permit
FIELDS Terminated by "~" TRAILING NULLCOLS
CP_PermitID "TRIM (:CP_PermitID)",
CP_SubmitDate "to_date(to_date(substr(:CP_SubmitDate, 1,19),'RRRR-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS'),'DD-MM-RRRR')",
CP_IssueDate "to_date(to_date(substr(:CP_IssueDate, 1,19),'RRRR-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS'),'DD-MM-RRRR')")

You are converting date to date. First TO_DATE
to_date(substr(:CP_IssueDate, 1,19),'RRRR-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS')correctly converts first 19 characters of string CP_IssueDate to date. Now look what happens with second one. TO_DATE first argument is string. Since to_date(substr(:CP_IssueDate, 1,19),'RRRR-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS') is date:
to_date(to_date(substr(:CP_SubmitDate, 1,19),'RRRR-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS'),'DD-MM-RRRR')implictly converts to_date(substr(:CP_IssueDate, 1,19),'RRRR-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS') back to string using default date format and then converts it back to date using 'DD-MM-RRRR' format. Obviously if default date format is not 'DD-MM-RRRR' you will either get wrong date or an error. Anyway, use:
LOAD DATA
INFILE 'F:\NV\Permits\SQLLDR\permits.txt'
REPLACE
INTO TABLE lot.p_permit
FIELDS Terminated by "~" TRAILING NULLCOLS
CP_PermitID "TRIM (:CP_PermitID)",
CP_SubmitDate "to_date(substr(:CP_SubmitDate,1,10),'YYYY-MM-DD')",
CP_IssueDate "to_date(substr(:CP_IssueDate,1,10),'YYYY-MM-DD')"
)SY.

Depth data convert to Image Bgr, Byte in a windows store project

Hi,
i use EmguCv to process depth data from Kinect v2. Now i want to do it in a windows store 8.1 app. In older project i use these code to convert from writable bitmap:
BitmapEncoder encoder = new BmpBitmapEncoder();
encoder.Frames.Add(BitmapFrame.Create(depthBitmap));
MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream();
encoder.Save(ms);
Bitmap b = new Bitmap(ms);
Image<Bgr, Byte> openCVImg = new Image<Bgr, Byte>(b);
I the project i miss the bitmap class, i search the whole day for a solution...
Thx for any hlp
René

The answer with help from Canming Huang (Thx):
private Image<Bgr, Byte> Array2IImage(byte[] pixelArray)
GCHandle dataHandle = GCHandle.Alloc(pixelArray, GCHandleType.Pinned);
try
using (Image<Bgra, Byte> image = new Image<Bgra, byte>(this.pixelWidth, this.pixelHeight, this.pixelWidth * this.cbytesPerPixel, dataHandle.AddrOfPinnedObject()))
return image.Convert<Bgr, Byte>();
finally
dataHandle.Free();

Report Query - Download data - converts special characters

When I'm doing a select from a table which has a "<" or ">" sign it is being changed to < or > when I view the XML data that is being downloaded. Is there any way to prevent it from doing this?

What I'm finding is that when master detail data is dumped in XML it is being dumped as individual rows.

This is how one should expect the data to look... not as my first example. Can I do this with plsql... most definitely. However, the report query tool wants a select statement. You can add queries but it will simply output the data as a single row regardless of how many queries you create. Furthermore I thought I might try to introduce subnodes by encapsulating the data with <> but unfortunately any special data will get converted to html code. So when I read it with text viewer software I can see these replaced with < and > Within the report query tool you can't create a select which will format the data (as per my second example). I'm trying to use reporting software which will expect the data as per my second example so that it will appear grouped and sorted properly but it won't work if the rows are being treated as individual lines as in my first example. I'm not sure why Oracle would not allow you to sort and group it this way since any XML data I've seen, seems to be grouped as per my second example and not as they have implemented it. I have no idea as to how to create this format to the data using report queries given the data will get converted to HTML.

Date convertion function in BPS layout

Hi,
   At the user's request, I have created a key figure with date type "date". The purpose of this is to allowed the user can input the date for each of the material displayed at the BPS layout.
   when I use the listcube to display the date key figure, I notice that it is not display as the regular date instead it has benn converted to a number for example 01/12/2005 is dispaly as 731,959. when I delete the date from the layout and save it,now the cube has add a 731,959- record. this is comply with how the infocube deal with ket figure data.
   There should be an function which convert the date 01/10/2005 to 731.595 in the BPS back end, anybody know the function name.
Thanks,

Hi JW,
If you simply want to generate a new date from an existing one, there are several options using only FOX. But again, maybe you want to look at the original intention of the application and your data modelling options before researching into this specific issue.
