Default Byte Order?

From what I can gather... this really isn't an issue nowadays.
However, I'm on a MacPro (Intel) with a clean install of CS4. I'm about to do up a TON of TIFFs in PS, and the default is "PC Byte Order".
I'll be going into Aperture soon after, for gussying up and archiving.
I just want to make sure I don't do 90+ images, and have it be wrong.
tia,

The Byte order in TIFF only matters for really old, buggy TIFF readers that didn't implement the TIFF spec. correctly.
In most cases today, it won't matter.

Tiff byte order in PS CS5

I'd like to have the default byte order setting to be Mac and not IBM when saving Tiff files in PS CS5. It seems that it's always defaulting to IBM, is there a way to change that?
Thanks!
Ken

There is no way to change the default. But for most software (and all correctly written TIFF code) the byte order doesn't matter.
The default was changed to IBM/LittleEndian because that is the byte order for Intel/x86 processors and offers a slight speed advantage when opening and saving.
Historically, Macintosh (68K and PPC) used BigEndian byte order - which is far easier to read, debug, and work with, but isn't the byte order of current desktop processors.

Byte Order Mark (BOM) not found in UTF-8 file download from XI

Hi Guys,
Facing difficulty in downloading file from XI in UTF-8 format with byte order mark.
Receiver File adapter has been configured to download the file in UTF-8 file format. But the byte order mark is missing. Same works well for UTF-16. Could see the byte order mark at the beginning of file "FEFF" for UTF-16BE - Unicode big endian.
As per SAP help, UTF-8 supposed to be the default encoding for TEXT file type.
Configuring the Receiver File/FTP Adapter in the SAP help link.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/d2/bab440c97f3716e10000000a155106/frameset.htm
Could you please advice on how to achieve BOM in UTF-8 file as it is very important for the outbound file to get loaded in our vendor system.
Thanks.
Best Regards
Thiru

Hi! 
 
Had the same problem. But here, we create a "CSV"-File which must have the BOM otherwise it will not be recogniced as UTF-8.
 
Therefore I've done the folowing:
Created a simple destination-structure which represents the CSV and done the mapping with the graphical-mapper. The destination-Structure looks like:
 
(?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?) 
(ONLYLINES) 
 (LINE) 
 (ENTRY)Hello I'm line 1(/ENTRY) 
 (/LINE) 
 (LINE) 
 (ENTRY)and I'm line 2(/ENTRY) 
 (/LINE) 
(/ONLYLINES)
As you can see, the "ENTRY"-Element holds the data. 
 
Now I've created the folowing Java-Mapping and added that mapping within the Interface-Mapping as second step after the graphical mapping: 
 
---cut--- 
package sfs.biz.xi.global; 
 
import java.io.InputStream;

public class OnlyLineConvertAddingBOM implements StreamTransformation { 
 
 public void execute(InputStream in, OutputStream out) throws StreamTransformationException { 
 try { 
 byte BOM[] = new byte[3]; 
 BOM[0]=(byte)0xEF; 
 BOM[1]=(byte)0xBB; 
 BOM[2]=(byte)0xBF; 
 String retString=new String(BOM,"UTF-8"); 
 Element ServerElement; 
 NodeList Server; 
 
 DocumentBuilderFactory docBuilderFactory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance(); 
 DocumentBuilder docBuilder = docBuilderFactory.newDocumentBuilder(); 
 Document doc = docBuilder.parse(in); 
 doc.getDocumentElement().normalize(); 
 NodeList ConnectionList = doc.getElementsByTagName("ENTRY"); 
 int count=ConnectionList.getLength(); 
 for (int i=0;i<count;i++) { 
 ServerElement = (Element)ConnectionList.item(i); 
 Server = ServerElement.getChildNodes(); 
 retString += Server.item(0).getNodeValue().trim() + "\r\n"; 
 } 
 
 out.write(retString.getBytes("UTF-8")); 
 
 } catch (Throwable t) { 
 throw new StreamTransformationException(t.toString()); 
 } 
 } 
 
 public void setParameter(Map arg0) { 
 // TODO Auto-generated method stub 
 
 } 
 
/* 
 public static void main(String[] args) { 
 File testfile=new File("c:\\instance.xml"); 
 File testout=new File("C:\\testout.txt"); 
 FileInputStream fis = null; 
 FileOutputStream fos= null; 
 OnlyLineConvertAddingBOM myFI=new OnlyLineConvertAddingBOM(); 
 try { 
 fis = new FileInputStream(testfile); 
 fos = new FileOutputStream(testout); 
 myFI.setParameter(null); 
 myFI.execute(fis, fos); 
 } catch (Exception e) { 
 e.printStackTrace(); 
 } 
 
 
 } 
 */ 
 
} 
--cut---
 
This Mapping searches all "ENTRY"-Tags within the XML-Strucure and creates a big string which startes with the UTF-8-BOM and than combined each ENTRY-Element, separated by CR/LF. 
 
We use this as Payload for an Mail-Adapter (sending via SMTP) but it should also work on File-Adapter. 
 
Hope it helps. 
Rene 
 
Besides: could someone tell SAP that this editor is the WORSEST editor I've ever seen. Maybe this guys should copy somethink from wikipedia :-((

Byte Order?

Does byte order matter when saving a TIFF?
Even if it doesn't, I can't figure out why it defaults to Macintosh on one CS3 installation and IBM PC on another CS3 installation.
Thanks!

It does not matter.
Why your two machines are different, only you can tell.

How can I create files in unicode format without "byte order mark"?

Hello together,
I have to export files in UTF-8 format and have to send them to another partner system which works with linux as operating system.
I have tried the different possibities to create files with ABAP. But nothing works 100% how I want.
Some examples:
1.)
OPEN DATASET [filename] FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING UTF-8.
If I create a file in this way and download it from application server to local system the result for file format in a unicode text edior like NotePad is "ANSI AS UTF-8". This means I have no BYTE ORDER MARK inside.
But it is also possible that the file format is only ANSI if the file contains no "special characters", isn't it?
In my test cases I create 3 files. 2 of them has format "ANSI AS UTF-8", and one only "ANSII".
After transfer to Linux I get as result 2 times UTF8 and one time ASCII as file format.
2.)
OPEN DATASET [filename] FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING UTF-8 WITH BYTE ORDER MARK.
With this syntax the result in local editor looks like ok. I get as format really "UTF-8".
But I get problems with the system which receives the files.
All files has the file format UTF-8 on Linux but the interface / script can not read the file with BYTE ORDER MARK.
This is a very big problem for me.
Do anybody of you know if it possible to force creation in UTF-8 without a BYTE ORDER MARK?
This means more or less the first example but all files should have UTF-8 format!
Thanks in advance
Christian

This means it is not possible to create a pure unicode file without the byte order mark?
You wouldn't happen to know how a file with byte order mark should read on a Linux system?
Or if this possible or not?

Christian

FIle Creation in the Application Server With Unicode-8 and Byte-Order Mark

Hi Guys,
I've requirement of creating a file in the Application server with the Data.
The Data Format Should be in UTF-8 and Byte-Order Mark.
I need to supply this data from SAP to PRMS.
I'm able to create a file with Unicode, but any of the guys have worked on Umicode with Byte-Order Mark, please let me know.
Thanks,
Adi.

Hi Mathieu,
If you haven't found an aswer yet, you can check in transaction SE24 CL_ABAP_FILE_UTILITIES method CREATE_UTF8_FILE_WITH_BOM. You can check the code of the method (it's very short) so you can understand how it works. It's also a static method so you can call it directly in your program.
Ex:
CALL METHOD cl_abap_file_utilities=>create_utf8_file_with_bom(your_file_name).
I hope this helps.

CS4 won't open TIFF with IBM PC Byte order

When our team tries to open images saved as TIFFs with a Byte order for IBM PC with Photoshop CS4, we get an error message that we do not have enough RAM to open the image.
We then opened the image on a machine running Photoshop CS2 with no problem, resaved the TIFF with a Macintosh Byte order and that seemed to fix the problem.
Is this a glitch that Adobe is aware of and will it be fixed in any upcoming updates?

I know of one bug like that, reading PackBits compressed images (the bug is very rare).
But if you could send me a copy of the file that won't open, I'll take a look and see if it might be a problem we don't know about.

ESB Routing Service Byte Order Mark error

Hi,
I have a esb routing service to accept soap messages from an external system. The external system sents messages with a Byte Order Mark for UTF8 at the start. If i look at the tcp messages i see the following:

It seems the esb routing service is trying to parse the Byte Order Mark as xml and therfore can not find the soap envelope tag? Any help is appreciated!

Hi Andre,
We got exactly the same error as you did. Your analysis is also correct; the first 3 bytes of the reply are not interpreted by BPEL/ESB as a BOM, but as 'real' characters.
The problem is due to the fact that the UTF-8 BOM is actually optional in the specifications, and obligatory for UTF-16. The UTF-8 BOM practically has no meaning, and is never used in most SOA applications. However the guys that made the webservice you need to consume are (wrongly) convinced that the UTF-8 BOM is supposed to be there according to the OASIS/W3C specs. Which is not true btw...
For more info on BOMs, check: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byte_Order_Mark
Unfortunately I don't have the code for our 'proxy' service anymore. I remember that we simply made a little servlet, that uses input- and outputstreams. The inputstream then filters the BOM. Remember to also proxy the WSDL to 'rewrite' the endpoint ;-)
HTH,

Will this work to determine the system byte order?

I need to be able to determine, preferably without relying on conditional disable symbols, whether the system on which a VI is run uses big-endian byte order. What I came up with was to flatten a U32 containing 0xDDCCBBAA to string using the unknown system byte order, and unflatten using a big-endian byte order. If the pre- and post-flattening U32's are equal, the system must be use big-endian byte order. Two questions:
1. Will this work? It recognizes, correctly, that my PC does not use big-endian byte order, but I don't have any big-endian targets to test it out on (see #3).
2. Is there a better way? Perhaps something already built into LabVIEW?
3. Would somebody with a big-endian target verify that my VI detects it as big-endian?
Thanks,
Mark Moss

You can simplify your VI a little. Since you know what the result of the string flattening should be in big endian, just compare the string.

Default Sort Order for Library View

It would be fantastic if there were a user defined preference for a default sort order in Library view. For example, some users may prefer to always view the images by File Name, or Rating, etc, without having to change the sort order for each individual folder they view via Lightroom.
Thanks!

Thanks for your suggestion Allan, but it doesn't work.
I'm specifically referring to the defaults that Aperture 3 adopts when you use the "File, Import, Folders as Projects with the projects and albums setting.
What I'm finding is regardless of the setting in the Library preferences, the default sort order for the project is Date and Manual for the album.
Yet if I create a project manually the default sort order is as per the Library prefs. Strange.

Want to change the default sort order of a Advanced table

Hi all ,
Hope all of you doing good.
I am trying to change the deafult sort order of a " View Applicants" advanced table on Irecruitment selfservice page , using personalization feature but its not sorting as expected.
The default sort order is asc by the name of the applicants. I wanted to override it by " Date Applied " desc using personalizing the advanced table.
But its not sorting by Date applied and still shows the sort by applicant name.
Any inputs will be greatly helpful
I am using the Oracle Apps 11.5.10 version.

Hey guys m I got the answer for the below question.
Oracle have few Restriction and limitation on such Advanced table in sorting the data,
Few of them are as mentioned below ...
1. Sorting is not allowed for tables that allow inserts.
2. Sorting is not supported for tables containing updateable columns
3. Sorting is disabled when the Select column is checked for a row in a table or when Hide/Show is present in a table.
Because of the above limitations , we cannot sort or override the existing alphabetical name sort order to Date applied sort order on the View Applicant advanced table.
You can observe that , View Applicant page is having an option called "Update Status" which allow us to update applicant’s status or rating in the Advanced table.
On such updatable advanced tables, oracle does not allow us to override the sort order on any of the table columns.
Keeping it in a nutshell , I can say it's does not allow us to change the sort order of the view applicant advanced table ( which is having updateable columns ) to sort them in Date applied instead of Name( which is default ).

How to restore default sort order on a table?

Have an ADF table with some sortable columns, populated by an SQL view (having its own Order By).
Looking for a way to let user revert to default sort order after sorting columns.
Currently, I have a button linked to:
public String cmdRefreshOrders() {
this.getTblOrders().setSortCriteria(null);
DCIteratorBinding iter = ADFUtils.findIterator("iterUnderlyingTable");
iter.executeQuery();
return null;
This doesn't work
Any ideas?

Tried. Doesn't work.
Iterator doesn't have a setOrderByClause() -- closest I see is applySortCriteria(), which takes an array of SortCriterias, not a String. Might be able to parse Order By string to create array of SortCriterias, but this smells wrong. Probably wouldn't work anyway because ...
Tried doing iter.applySortCriteria(null) before executeQuery. This accomplished nothing -- the sort created from clicking the column header persisted.
Looks to me like the sort is persisting as some property in the table or in the display column.
Any more ideas?
Thanks
Ed

Default internal order for each vendor

Hi
I am creating employee as a vendor in FK01. Each vendor is created as internal order for doing employeewise budget check. So when i book any expenses for vendor, i want that internal order should automatically flow on the basis of vendor.
So is there any way from where i can default internal order on the basis of vendor.
Edited by: Deepak Agrawal on Jun 9, 2011 5:05 PM

Hi
The only way to do the same is through Substitution rule by using an user exit. You need to create a Z table and maintain the mapping of vendor to IO. There after in GGB1, write a substitution rule for the node, complete document
Check if Vendor Account =X
Substitute using user exit
In the user exit call up the z table.

How to set default sorting order in ADF Table

Hi,
I want to set the default sorting order as ascending in adf table. Please help me regarding how can we do it.
Using JDev 11.1.1.5.0

Hi Frank,
Thanks for the quick reply.
I have done binding of table with list of pojos.
The Class for which Data control is created is as:-
public class DemoDC {
 private List<TableEntity> tableList =
 new ArrayList<TableEntity>();
 public List<TableEntity> getTableList() {
 return tableList;
 public void setTableList(List<TableEntity> tableList) {
 this.tableList = tableList;
where TableEntity is a pojo which has all the columns as its attributes.
Now when i do the above steps , after clicking on pencil icon and seecting the iterator name in the iterator tab (DemoDC-> tableList) , and selcting the 'sort criteria' tab when i select a column and try to set the sort order I get error as ' Iterator can not be created for the selected node ' .

UNICODE Byte Order Marker at beginning of text files

Hi,
I'm running in to problems when reading text from a number of text files, some of which are plain US-ASCII text and others which are also plain US-ASCII content but contain a UNICODE UTF-8 Byte Order Mark at the beginning of the file i.e. the bytes 0xEF 0xBB 0xBF.
I open each file using standard :
InputStream fis = new FileInputStream(fileName);
Reader fileReader = new InputStreamReader(fis);
However, in those cases where a BOM is present, the first 3 characters of my stream are the BOM above which I would have expected to have been automatically stripped. When I set the encoding in the InputStreamReader I still get a single garbage character, whereas when I perform above with UTF-16 I get only the files chars as expected.
Do I need to open this file as a byte stream and check the BOM myself and then derive the type of encoding I should be opening the file with? And if so, for UTF-8 I also then must discard the first 3 bytes?
Please help as I don't want to have to do this if possible and I hope someone can understand my problem.
My JVM environment is 1.4.2 on XP.
Many THanks,
Henry

Probably not. Some of the Unicode encoding types... the list is here:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/intl/encoding.doc.html
support the BOM, so you'd only need to know that it's UnicodeBig or UnicodeLittle or whatever it really is.
Of course, if you don't know what it is, that is a problem. You can probably assume the BOM bytes are actually that, but technically, you can't generally infer any particular encoding type by just reading the file. I mean, who's to say that a file is UTF-8 encoded or ISO8859-1? Yes, if it is UTF-8, and it includes chars that are of multi-byte sets (Chinese, for example), then many characters, if read as ISO8859-1, would look on screen like gibberish. But from the standpoint of reading a file at the character level, Java doesn't care and can't know.
So to really know, you would either have to know ahead of time what the encoding is, or do some analysis of the data to see if it's likely 1 or the other, which is probably hard to do cuz it would require some sort of natural language knowledge.
