Encoding variable using agent

Hi guys!
I'm trying to encode a password(in variable) using agent.s. My commands looks like this:
./agent.sh encode #VARIABLEAnd all i get is 255: Wrong process code...
Why is that?
Please help ODI gurus.
Regards,
PsmakR

I'm not sure that you need to encrypt the SFTP password to use OdiSftpGet.
definition of the parameter "Remote user password" is :
The password of the Remote User OR the passphrase of the password protected identity file provided in the -IDENTITY_FILE argument. If the -IDENTITY_FILE argument is provided, this value will be used as the passphrase for the password protected identity file. If the public key authentication fails it will fall back to the user password authentication
But this time I think that in this parameter you can put a variable.
You should try to affect in the variable your sftp password in clear (without encryption).

How can I change file encoding for use in Itunes?

For instance, aiff to apple lossles files, or mp3 to apple lossless, or any other conversion. And which is best?

I don't really understand some of the settings that you posted. Stereo and joint stereo are two different things, so you can't encode as both at the same time. For modern MP3 compression, joint stereo is usually preferred, because it allows the encoder to use fewer bits in encoding the stereo information, and it doesn't result in any perceptual losses in stereo imaging.
48.000 kHz is pointless unless you are ripping from source material that is actually at that sample rate. Redbook-standard CD audio is at 44.100 kHz, so just stick with that (or better yet, leave the sample rate setting at "auto" so it will pick the setting that matches the source material you are ripping from).
320 kbps is kind of overkill as well. Actually, if you want to rip to MP3, I would advise you to stay away from the iTunes encoder, because most listening tests indicate that it hasn't been updated much since the first versions of iTunes back in the late 1990s. It is no longer a modern encoder. Assuming that you are on a Mac, I suggest that you download the iTunes-LAME plugin (http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/ipod_itunes/ituneslameencoder.html), which allows you to encode tracks into the iTunes Music Library using the LAME MP3 encoder. LAME is an open-source encoder project that has been continuously developed over many years and has been heavily tested for transparency. The latest version (3.97b1) has been shown in listening tests to be almost the same quality as equivilent-bitrate AAC files.
Once you download the iTunes-LAME plug-in, you can install the latest version of LAME by going to http://www.rarewares.org/mp3.html . Scroll down to "Encoders/decoders built using LAME 3.97 beta 1" and download "For Mac OS X." This is a Unix Executable file. To install it in the iTunes-LAME plugin, go to Your User Folder/Library/iTunes/Scripts. Right click on the iTunes-LAME application and select "Show Package Contents." Open the "Contents" folder that appears and then open the "Resources" folder. You should see a Unix Executable there titled "lame." Replace this file with the 3.97b1 Unix Executable that you downloaded. Now iTunes-LAME will encode with LAME v.3.97b1 instead of its default LAME build. 3.97b1 has some major improvements over earlier LAME versions, so even though this installation process may seem daunting for some people, it is well worth it.
To use iTunes-LAME, you first select a CD or playlist from the Source list (the left-hand column) in iTunes. You then click on the Script menu (the little script icon) and select "Import with LAME...". iTunes-LAME opens, showing you a command line and an Import button. LAME encoding options are selected using command-line switches. Fortunately, there are variable bit-rate (VBR) presets that have been heavily tested for transparency, so you don't really need to know anything about the command line options. Just type in "-V 2 --vbr-new," which is one of the most heavily-tested presets, and hit the Import button. This results in variable bit rate files that usually average out to between 170 and 240 kbps, depending on the complexity of the source. For more information on the presets, see http://wiki.hydrogenaudio.org/index.php?title=LAME#RecommendedEncoderSettings
The only major downside to using iTunes-LAME is that it cannot take advantage of iTunes' error correction option when ripping CDs. If you want error correction though, you can always just have iTunes rip to WAV first, and then convert those WAV files to MP3 using the iTunes-LAME plugin.
Feel free to ask any more questions.

Why do text variables using Running Header character style translate forced returns as a word space in the running head on the first page but close up the space on subsequent pages?

In an InDesign document that requires 3 different Chapter head paragraph styles (to cope with differrent length headings) I've set up the running heads on the master page with a text variable using the Running header (character style) option. The character style I've assigned to this is an empty character style that is applied to all 3 chapter head paragraph styles.
Some chapter heads require a forced line break, so that the line breaks are aethesically pleasing. On the first page the text variable translates this forced line break as a word space in the running head, but on subsequent pages it ignores the forced line break. This means that if you have a word space before the forced line break, on the first page you get a double word space and on subsequent pages the running head sets correctly with a single word space. But if you remove the word space before the forced line break in the chapter head text, the first running head sets correctly with forced line break interpreted as a single word space, but on subsequest pages the space is closed up.
This only seems to be a problem when the character style option is used for header text variables. If a paragraph style is used the forrced line break is interpreted as a a single word space in all instances, both on the foirst page and subsequent pages.
This would appear to be a bug in how text variables are applied when using the Running header (character style) option. I can't see any other reason why the text variable would beheave differently on the first page and on subsequent pages. There is only one master page, so it isn't a case of their being an error between a main master page and a chapter opener master page.
Does anyone have any solutionss, or know if this problem has been fixed in subsequent releases of InDesign (I'm using CS6 ID version 8.0)
Thanks

Control global variable used in sub vi

Hi,
I've created a vi to read an instrument and to initiate its calibration with labview. This VI stores data in a global variable containing measurments and status of the instrument.
Now what I'm trying to do is create a sub vi with this to read&write 2 exactly identical instruments so I can finally create a VI that read all 3 instruments simultaneously.
How could I create a control on the global variable used by the sub VIs since it is the only thing that will change along with its COM port ?
I included a screetshot of the current VI.
Thanks,

I would make an array of values and then you just pass in which value to update. I would actually take it a step further and make an Action Engine that can update the data and return the data.

Formula variable using Replacement path not working

Dear All,
I am using a query to calculate YTD values in the report. I am using a formula variable to calculate the number of months. Formula is
Month To - Month From+1
When I am giving the range from 001 to 006 for period in th evariable screen,
I am gettung Month To as 6 and Month From as 6 with total no . of months as 1.
I think Month From is not being caculated properly. I created another formul variable using Replacement path, for characteristic Posting period, replace with a Key and dimension ID as number with out any offset.
Still not working.
Any suggestions.
Thanks and Regards,

I have seen this document already. It is slightly different from what I am trying to do here than what the post shows. How ever, I did everything right, atleast seems to be and don´t know why I am not getting the From value from the posting period selected. To value variable is coming right.
Any more sugegstions.?

How to set a value to a Presentation Variable using GO URL?

Hi All,
     I am working on a drill (GO URL) from Dashboard page1 to Dashboard page2.
     The problem I am facing is, I am not able to pass a value to the presentation variable through GO URL. (I have to pass "Customer Category" static
value to The presentation variable present in Dashboard Page2 ).
     The Dashboard page2 is having a view select in which we are using presentation variable to select the report based on the value selected in
View Select.
     For example: If the user selects "Customer Category" value in View select and clicks on GO button Customer Category report will show the out put.
     When i am drilling from Dashboard Page1 I have to pass a value to the presentation variable used in view select and also pass some filter condition in
     GO URL.
     Please let me know if it is feasible to pass a value to the presentation variable through GO URL in OBIEE 10.1.3.4.
     It will be greate if you can provide me with the syntax to set a value to the presentation variable of dashboard page2 through GO URL.
Thanks and Regards,
Sagar Vishwanathwar.

1) You have to navigate to dashboard page, not to answer request = you have to use "Dashboard URL API" not GO URL API.
2) On the target page, you have to place dashboard prompt, which sets required presentation variable.
3) Refer to the target using Dashboard URL API and set filter on prompt column using URL parameters. Example: http://localhost:9704/analytics/saw.dll?Dashboard&PortalPath=%2Fusers%2Fadministrator%2F_portal&Page=page%201&Action=Navigate&P0=1&P1=eq&P2=D_TIME.YEAR_CODE&P3=%221996%22
Do not forget to use Action=Navigate. The syntax for setting filters using url parameter is the same as for GO URL API described in Business Intelligence Presentation Services Administration Guide.
This is the way, you can implement navigation to parametrized direct SQL reports including passing filter values...

i have two machine namely A and B both having the ODI
i am going to use the B machine as a centralized server. so i edited the odiparams.bat file in B machine in ODI locaiton and filled the repository information
from A machine i opened the Topology and created the Agent service there i mentioned the HOST name as "B" and port number 20300. and i configure the logical agent aswell
from B machine i started the Agent service like agentscheduler "-port=20300".
Agent service launched seccessfully.
From A machine i tested the Agent. that also shown the successful window message.
then i started running the interface using the agent i am getting the error which i have mention in the beginging.
Interface which i ran will do the text file to table loading, so i kept that file in particular location in B machine( i have configure this location when i created the file data store in topology in A machine).
Please help me to solve the problem...

Thanks For your Reply,
I ran the agent as you said. here is my observation
from the Machine B where agent is actually running, i could able to run the interface using agent service.
but from the machine A while running the interface i am getting the following error message

Need help with setting a variable using actionscript

So I am trying to import in XML and this is working fine, But
once in flash I need to reference this variable in a later script.
Here is what I got.
function loadXML(loaded) {
if (loaded) {
/////this is the variable, which is working, it pulls the
info from the xml document properly.
var node1 =
this.firstChild.childNodes[0].childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
////another variable, etc...
var node2 =
this.firstChild.childNodes[0].childNodes[1].firstChild.nodeValue;
/////when traced it outputs the proper value.
trace(node1);
////////does not work here though.
xmlData = new XML();
xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlData.onLoad = loadXML;
xmlData.load("co.xml");
var latmin = 37;
var latmax = 41;
var lonmin = -109;
var lonmax = -102;
this.geoPlotter_gp.setRange(latmin, latmax, lonmin, lonmax);
this.geoPlotter_gp.setNodeSymbol("geoPloterNodeSymbol");
this.geoPlotter_gp.addNode(40.48, -107);
////////////////This is where I need to now use the variables
defined above//////////////
this.geoPlotter_gp.addNode(node1);// Boulder
this.geoPlotter_gp.addNode(node2);// Denver
/////any ideas all? I am sure this is something simple...I am
just overlooking something.

when you prefix a variable using var within a function,
you're making it local to that function. ie, node1 and node2 are
undefined outside loadXML().
to remedy, don't prefix with var.

Behavior of customer exit variables (used as prompt) in a workbook

Hi All,
We are on NW2004s. I am using a customer exit variable in the prompt for my query then saved the query as a workbook.
1. When I run the query the customer exit routine/program is called and the selection screen variable is populated with the correct value.
Ex. Calendar year variable is a prompt variable defined as customer exit variable that gets the current year.
when you run the query the prompt for calendar year shows "2007" as default value. this is correct.
2. when I run the workbook using this same query, it looks like it is not executing the customer exit program. The value in the calendar year prompt is whatever the last value used when the workbook was last ran.
I also placed a breakpoint in the customer exit program (EXIT_SAPLRRS0_001) to check if it is being called and it looks like it isn't.
Is there a configuration/property that I should enable/check to make sure that customer exit variables used as prompts works in workbooks? Is this a bug? Anybody else have issues with using customer exit variables as prompts in their workbooks?
Thanks in advance,
Malou

Hello Marilou,
See the abswer I got from the 1st response on my question

It may be a good help.
Variables seem to be an understated item in the documents.

Hi mahesh,
check your agent with test connection, and have a look on your context while executing time it asks context and agent.
if u have various agents and contexts please choice correct logical agent name related to context...
in this case also you not able to find solution, then got to topology manager--->go to logical architecture and open your agent, see your logical agent name in different contexts,please check like this under physical schema window in contexts also.

How to declare global variables using another global variable in ODI

I am declaring a gloabal variable using another global variable.
say for example:
I have a global variable empid.
I am decalaring another global variable empname in refreshing tab of global variables and the select statment is
select empname from emp where empno = #GLOBAL.empid -------if i write like this i am getting error as invalid character.
select empname from emp where empno = '#GLOBAL.empid'-------if i write like this i am getting error as invalid number.
I have kept the datatype as numeric and action as non persistent
Please help
Thank you in advance.

Hi,
You cant test/refresh empname standalone.
You need to create a new package drag and drop both variables and make them as refresh variable and execute that package and test.
Flow,
empid----> empname
Thanks,
Guru

Generic reporting on SQL variables using sqlgls() /Pro*C

Generic reporting on host/SQL variables using sqlgls()
I use sqlgls() in Pro*C 8.1.7 to get the last SQL statement that was parsed.
It returns something like this.
"select distinct QTY ,CHAPTER into :b0:b1,:b2:b3 from PT ,PU ,UIN U ,EU where (PART=:b4 and PU.PART=:b5) ....."
I would like to see what the values are for each input variable e.g :b4 and :b5
Is there any generic way of reporting what these values are rather than explicity writing code for each individual SQL statement?
Is there a Pro*C method that gets the values of :b4 and :b5??
We are recording the last SQL statement to a text file but cannot see what the values are that caused the SQL query to fail.
Please contact me at [email protected]

My answer is only for 1. problem (about ORA-01458)
I think that you use declaration for cursor C0 with a varchar
variable before you ininitialize length (member .len of varchar
structure) of this variable.
It's famous that many errors come from uninitialized varchar
variables in Pro*C.
