External file as data set

In our Cognos environment users are able to use a .csv in a picklist to filter a report. i.e. return data for only those account numbers contained in the .csv. Using Rich Client I've attempted to merge dimensions with no luck. Is there any way to do this using Webi/Rich Client?

was able to resolve based on previous post. Needed to change 'acct number' field in external document from 'measure' to 'dimension' . Merged dimensions with universe based query and returned the needed data.

LIST_FROM_MEMORY - Excel File - Open data set

Hello,
A long time ago I asked people here how to convert a submit program to html and using open/transfer/close data set altoghter. I got a lot of help for that and I am greatful.
However, I may need to try something and would like to ask how does this apply when you want to transfer <b>LIST_FROM_MEMORY -> Excel File -> Open/transfer/close data set</b>leading it to be saved to the application server.
Thank you all and good day.

Do we have to write the list into application server in XL format?
Once we get the data from LIST_FROM_MEMORY, then write this data into application server using DATASETS

Media Reconnection Issues (search problems); 1 project file, two data sets

Ok, here goes folks!
We have:
Mac Pro, 6tb MaxxDigital RAID
MacBook Pro, 3x 1tb GRAIDs
The data on the Gtechs's is the same as the data on the Maxx tower- the file structure is different.
Whenever the project file is updated on the main MacPro it is moved via USB key to the macbook pro, at which time media needs to be reconnected (to the graids).
Recently the search in a single location feature had not been working in the reconnect dialog- we select the drive (any of the three) and are given the nope tone. This is a huge project- long form doc with 30+ hours of footage. It is killing us having to manually specify each folder in the drive depending on the file. Previously just selecting the root drive would start the search and all would be well.
Here are my questions:
Is there something we can do to restore the reconnect search functionality?
Could we alleviate this by getting a large enough SATA raid and express card adapter to make an exact copy of the main Maxx Raid? Would it be easier to reconnect?
Can anyone offer any workflow tips for our situation?
Generally I am over on the main box doing composites, graphics, spit and polish, etc, while the Director is on the MBP roughing segments. Soon we will be moving to me doing spit and polish on the MBP and color grading on the main box.
I hope there is enough information here for anyone with advice to offer, please dont hesitate to ask for more info if needed. Thanks for taking the time to read this and I look forward to hearing what you guys think.

HELP - Export Files from Data Set into Excel (CSV File)

Hello,
I was hoping someone could help me with adobe forms since this is the first time we have used this function at my work. We created an enrollment form, posted it online and 700 employees completed the form (with the submit button it came back to my email). I received all the forms and added them to the dataset in adobe. Now that my forms are complete, I have tried several options to export them into a csv file and it is not working properly. When I use the export button it only brings over 125 of the 700. If I export by clicking on forms>manage form data>merge files into a spreadsheet it brings them all over but is moving my information on some of the rows. For example, some names will be in the name column, some are under social security, etc. I need the exact answer under the appropriate column becuase I can't tell which plan employees chose. I would really appreciate if someone could help. I have searched and searched for the reason this is doing this but I can't seem to locate an answer. Is there another step that I'm missing? Does anyone know why my rows are shifting? We tried to test this before we used it and it seemed to work fine but we only used 5 files. Please Please Please Help Me! This enrollment file is due by tomorrow!
Thank You,
Mary

CS6 - Data Set file doesn't refresh :(

There appears to be a bug in CS6 - does this work in any version of Photoshop?
Problem - data sets are not refreshed when contents of the data file are changed, despite clicking "Apply Data Set".
The latest updates are installed, running on Windows 7 Professional, 64-bit, plenty of RAM and available storage. This has never worked before and appears to be a bug in the software. I’ve gone so far as to close PS and even rebooted between steps 4 and 5, same problem. Here's how to recreate it:
1. Create a psd, define variables (I've tried both text and graphic layers)
2. Assign csv file as "Data Set", save the psd
3. Run export, close psd
4. Chage data in csv that was defined as Data Set, save and close csv file
5. Re-open same psd
6. Click "Apply Data Set" - nothing happens
Data is NOT refreshed regardless of whether Data Set 1 or “All data sets” is selected.
The only thing that seems to work is to open the PSD and redefine the exact same file as the data set again, then batch export. Because I'd be dealing with volumes of psd files that use volumes of Data Set files that change daily, this isn't feasible.
Defining (or redefining the same file) cannot be recorded in batch mode, nor through the listener (tried previous version just to see).
Please let me know if/when this will be fixed. Really want to use Photoshop since it's the BEST

Still no answers after all these months. Really disappointing

Difference between SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE and Open data set mechanism

Can you please help me to know the difference between moving a file using FM "SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE" and moving file using "open data set - transfer file- close data set" mechanism?

Through 'SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE' u can execute a External command (ie.. UNIX /Windows/OS/400) In ABAP programming..
for Conversion Of Aplication server File/Move the file from one directory to Other...
The Command must be present in SM69.
Using this function module'SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE' , you can check the authorization of a user to execute a particular external command and run the command:
With the arguments specified in ADDITIONAL_PARAMETERS
On the target host system defined by OPERATINGSYSTEM and TARGETSYSTEM
If an SAP profile parameter is inserted in the portion of the command stored in the database, then the value of this parameter is substituted into the command. If an SAP application server is active on the target system (TARGETSYSTEM), then the profile parameter values are read from the profile that is active on that system. No parameter substitution is made in ADDITIONAL_PARAMETERS.
After substitution, the command is checked for the presence of "dangerous" characters such as the semicolon ( ; ) on UNIX systems.
If an additional "security function module" is specified in the command definition, this function module is also called in the course of processingebenfalls. This function module can prevent execution of the command.
If the authorization checks complete successfully, the command is run on the target host system.
Through Open Data Set u can read and write the file in the same directory...
Thnaks,
SD

"void" value in Data Sets external file?

Hi I'm trying to achieve what I thought it was a simple thing (and turned out not to be so):
I'm importing a set of variables and values from an external file via menu Import/Dataset/Apply...
Occasionally, I'd like not to return any value from an specific field, an let it as is (with it's current value/content in the photoshop layer).
I tried setting the empty separator,void and null with no success.
Example:
(file.txt):
mytext1,mytext2,logo,backgroundimage (fields)
dude,sometext,void,myimage.jpg (values)
also tried:
mytext1,mytext2,logo,backgroundimage
dude,sometext,,myimage.jpg
and finally:
mytext1,mytext2,logo,backgroundimage
dude,sometext,null,myimage.jpg
With null, void or ,, I'm trying that photoshop ignores this field and takes it's current layer value.
Is this possible?
thanks in advance

I think that with scripting you could get close to useing null/blank values.
The script would have to read the original dataset text file one line at a time and create a new dataset text file to import then apply. If it found a null or undefined value it would replace that value with the current value before writing the new file. I think that it would only work with text and visibility. I not sure how it could handle image replacement.
Here are some functions you will need.
fileImportDataSets = function( file ) {
    var desc = new ActionDescriptor();
        var ref = new ActionReference();
        ref.putClass( stringIDToTypeID( "dataSetClass" ) );
    desc.putReference( charIDToTypeID( "null" ), ref );
    desc.putPath( charIDToTypeID( "Usng" ), new File( file ) );
    desc.putEnumerated( charIDToTypeID( "Encd" ), stringIDToTypeID( "dataSetEncoding" ), stringIDToTypeID( "dataSetEncodingAuto" ) );
    desc.putBoolean( stringIDToTypeID( "eraseAll" ), true );
    desc.putBoolean( stringIDToTypeID( "useFirstColumn" ), true );
executeAction( stringIDToTypeID( "importDataSets" ), desc, DialogModes.NO );
function applyDataSet(setName);{
    var desc = new ActionDescriptor();
        var setRef = new ActionReference();
        setRef.putName( stringIDToTypeID( "dataSetClass" ), setName );
    desc.putReference( charIDToTypeID( "null" ), setRef );
executeAction( charIDToTypeID( "Aply" ), desc, DialogModes.NO );

I can not transfer files and data from macbook pro to my external hard drive, i can not transfer files and data from macbook pro to my external hard drive , so what should i do ?

i have an external hard disk but whenever i tried to transfer any file or data from macbook to this ext.disk its failed before that i used to have another hard drive with same problem ,then i thought may be this hard drive is not support mac then i bought a new one which supports mac but still i have same problem what should i do ?

Ok.
Go into Disk Utility, and make sure you select your external hard drive.
There should be 4 tabs, one being erase. I have taken a screenshot to show you what it should be set to (obviously name it what you like), and set the format to Mac OSX Extended (Journaled) as per the example below & after double checking your in the right drive, you can hit erase. And you're done! *hopefully*

Why would only the first line of my data set txt file work?

Hi -
I had a lot of success using variables and external data sets until today.
I have an external text file that I have imported as a data set (Image/Variables/Data Sets/Import...). All of the variables have been defined and confirmed (at least PSD hasn't told me it can't find something which is the typical error msg.)
This external text file, with the extension ".txt" has 12 lines on it, each line is 7 comma separated values, and each line is ending in a carriage return.
YESTERDAY when I used File/Export/Export Data Set as Files... the procedure went beautifully for the 8 times I used it. TODAY I only get the first of the 12 lines completed and then the export stops. There are no error messages or other signs that Photoshop has choked on something so I guess something is wrong with my text file... BUT WHAT??
Any insight on any step in this would be helpful. You all know that if I'm using this feature it's because I have TONS of repetition ahead of me if it doesn't work.
TIA your expertise,
JL

Fixed it!
When Exporting as Data sets as files... the step I missed was to select "All Data Sets" from the Data Set drop down.
Thanks all.

Storing data out to external file...?

I have a question I'd like to put forward to anyone who can
help me. It's a bit vague, perhaps, but any help would be
appreciated...
I need to make a Flash application into which you can INPUT
data, and then have that data STORED somehow / kept in memory -
probably in an external file of some format outside of the Flash
file, so that the next time you launch the Flash file, that same
EXTERNAL data will be read by the Flash file and will display in
the interface.
The key thing here though is that file will NOT be hosted
online, so it cannot make use of any "online-only" scripting (if
such a thing exists?).
I need to host and run the Flash application from my local
hard drive, and all external files need to be on my local hard
drive too.
Is it possible to set up the scenario I've outlined? Where do
I even begin?
I fully appreciate that this will be a big project, requiring
a great deal of learning on my part, but I'm willing to give it a
go, providing I know where to start...
What am I looking at here? PHP? CGI? XML? Will those run
locally? I really don't know...
Like I said, I really know nothing about any of this, and I'm
perfectly willing to learn, but I just need to know WHERE to start
learning, and WHAT to learn...
Again - any help appreciated.
Thanks.

you can use the flash sharedobject to store data from one
flash session to another.

Google index external HTML data sets?

I know one of the workarounds to have Google properly index
dynamic content is to use HTML data sets, but I'm unclear about one
thing. Does this only work if you have the HTML data set table on
the same page you use it with, or does it also work with external
HTML data sets?
For instance, will Google have a problem indexing if I use a
external HTML data set like:
<script type="text/javascript">

</script>
<div spry:region="educationLinks" id="linksContainer"
class="SpryHiddenRegion">
<ul spry:repeatchildren="educationLinks"
class="unorderedLinkList">
<li><a href="{url}"
target="_blank">{name}</a> - {description}</li>
</ul>

</div>

I'm doing the same exact thing using external HTML data sets
instead of XML. It is true that spiders will not index the external
page based on the Spry data you noted. My solution will be to
create a sitemap.xml page and submit it to the search engines. That
sitemap.xml file will contain all the pages in your site and the
spiders will use it as a central point to crawl all of those pages
specified within. So, I will just include my externally referenced
files in the sitemap.xml file.
Checkout
http://www.sitemap.org for more
information on that.

Make a second copy on import to external drive and copy the file by date

In earlier versions I made second copies of files imported to an external hard drive. The files would import and automatically create a capture date file folder in the same manner as importing by date to the primary internal drive. At some point this feature seems to have gone away and now I get a folder on the external drive: p:\\pictures\2014\Imported on Tuesday, April 22, 2014. What I would like is: p:\\pictures\2014\2014-04-22
Is there anyway to force this to happen? I really hate having to manually move lots of files and create folders to keep the system I have had for years that organizes my files by date of capture on both the primary and backup drives.

Short answer: No. That is the way it is.
Why? The Make Second Copy during Import is designed to be a backup of your memory card processes-not a back up of your files as you store them on disk. It is intended to be a transient copy that allows you an immediate backup until such time as a File System Level backup can be performed, allowing you to have two copies so that you can reformat your memory cards.
I agree it would be nice if the folder storage strategy was duplicated for the backup as it is created for the import but that is not something you can set the program to do currently. I remember it behaving differently versions ago but do not recall exactly how it used to work.
