FDM Scripting Question

Hi
I would like to know what is the easiest way to do the following:
Source account - 123 ,if "+" import to HFM account ABC and if "-" import to account DEF
Please help.

The conditional mapping can only be done in between,in and like maps
When using the "in" map
Rule Name |Rule Description | Rule Definition |Target | - |Script
Test|Test |Source member |#script | |If…
The | is used to show the field/column breaks
So in the example you will place the source member in the Rule definition field and the place #script in the target member field(The heading can be changed in dimension names) and place the script in the script field. Rule name has an impact on the order of execution, this is explained in the admin guide.
The same can be done for the between and like maps.
Hope this helps
Wayne

FDM Scripting Query for last imported source file using Batch Processing

Hi Experts,
I'm currently in the processing of automating the FDM load process on our version of FDM 9.3.3 using batch processing and the FDM Task Manager. Most of the process works fine including an email alert which notifies users of when a data load has taken place.
As part of that email alert I am trying to attach the source file that has been loaded in batch processing. I have managed to get an attachment using the following FDM Script Object of:
"API.MaintenanceMgr.fPartLastFile(strLoc, True, False)".
But have noticed that using this only attaches the last "manually" imported file rather than the last file imported using the batch processing.
My question is: Is it possible for someone to steer me into the right direction of either a more appropriate API or if I have missed a step in my script.
Any help as always would be much appreciated.
Cheers
Pip

Unfortunately the batch process does not work the same way as on-line. I am assuming you are using the normal batch load and not Multiload (although the batch is simisar).
the batch file name gets recorded on the tBatchContents table, and moved to the import/batches folder under the folder for the current batch run. However, if successful the file gets deleted (and from memory does not get archived). To add the import file to the e-mail, after a successful load, i think you will need to store a copy of it prior to importing the file.

FDM Script to import data

Hi,
I'm new to FDM scripting. So any pointers will be appreciated. I need to import a TB with the following format in exel file.
row1 ***CostCenter Number***
row2 ***TB name*
row3 - Other parameters
row4 - Blank
row5 - Data headers
row6 - Data begins - format given below -
row7 - Account Desc Opening Bal Closing Bal
I have created an import format with the 4 fields - CostCentre, Account,Desc and closing bal. Now my question is -
1. How do i create script that picks the costcenter number from row1 ?
Thanks in Advance!!

That format will not work in an excel file, FDM requires a specific excel template, also the FDM excel templates do not use import scripts,so first convert to a csv file.
You will then need to use a temporary variable for this e.g. RES.PvarTemp1 and create 2 import scripts
Assuming that cost centre is the only value on line one of the file what you need to do is:
Attach an Import script to the Amount entry in your import format and put in the following code (this assumes cost centre is always the first header line and your script is called GetCostCentre)
If Not Len(RES.PvarTemp1) > 0 Then
RES.PvarTemp1 = DW.Utilities.fParseString(strRecord,4,1,",")
End If
GetCostCentre = strField
Attach an import script to the CostCentre entry in the import format called SetCostCentre, it will have one line
SetCostCentre = RES.PvarTemp1
There is a very similar example in the FDM admin guide Scripting cahpter which has a bit more description.

FDM Script - Set to run at a specific time of day??

Can you set an FDM script to run at a certain time of day (based on
server time)? I've currently got a Custom/General script I'd like to
run once a day at a set time.
Thanks!

You need the use task manager for that.
I suggest you look in the admin guide for more info.
If I’m not mistaken, you need to enable in the application setting and then you can use it from the tools menu in the Workbench.

Quick SAP Script question New Page Print

Quick SAP Script question
I have added a new page to an existing SAP Script BUT only want it to print if a condition is true.
I need to do this from within the form as the print program is SAP Std.
Any idea how I can prevent the new page from printing?
i.e. I need the form NOT to call the new page if the condition is false. Is there a way of forcing an exit or stop from with in the form?

Hi,
To trigger a new page, there is script ediotr command NEW-PAGE.
so find where is that command is triggered and use the below code for trigger it on any specific condition....
if &condition& = 'True'
/* NEW-PAGE
elseif
/: NEW-PAGE
endif
so it means if condition is satisfied your new page will not work.. else it will...
Hope you got it...
Try this..
Best luck..

Quick script question

Hi all,
Could anyone advise me if i can add anything within - header('Location: http://www.mysite.co.uk/thankyou.html'); in the script below so as the page
re- directs back to the main index page after a few seconds ?
Thankyou for any help.
<?php
$to = '[email protected]';
$subject = 'Feedback form results';
// prepare the message body
$message = '' . $_POST['Name'] . "\n";
$message .= '' . $_POST['E-mail'] . "\n";
$message .= '' . $_POST['Phone'] . "\n";
$message .= '' . $_POST['Message'];
// send the email
mail($to, $subject, $message, null, '');
header('Location: http://www.mysite.co.uk/thankyou.html');
?>

I don't think I "gave" you that script. I might have corrected a problem with it, but I certainly didn't write the original script.
What you're using is far from perfect, but to suggest it would lay you open to MySQL injection attacks is ludicrous. For you to be prone to MySQL injection, you would need to be entering the data into a MySQL database, not sending it by email.
There is a malicious attack known as email header injection, which is a serious problem with many PHP email processing scripts. However, to be prone to email header injection, you would need to use the fourth argument of mail() to insert form data into the email headers. Since your fourth argument is null, that danger doesn't exist.
One thing that might be worth doing is checking that the email address doesn't contain a lot of illegal characters, because that's a common feature of header injection attacks. This is how I would tidy up your script:
<?php
$suspect = '/Content-Type:|Bcc:|Cc:/i';
// send the message only if the E-mail field looks clean
if (preg_match($suspect, $_POST['E-mail'])) {
header('Location: http://www.example.com/sorry.html');
exit;
} else {
$to = '[email protected]';
$subject = 'Feedback form results';
// prepare the message body
$message = 'Name: ' . $_POST['Name'] . "\n";
$message .= 'E-mail: ' . $_POST['E-mail'] . "\n";
$message .= 'Phone: ' . $_POST['Phone'] . "\n";
$message .= 'Message: ' . $_POST['Message'];
// send the email
mail($to, $subject, $message);
header('Location: http://www.example.com/thankyou.html');
exit;
?>
Create a new page called sorry.html, with a message along the lines of "Sorry, there was an error sending your message". Don't put anything about illegal attacks. Just be neutral.
By the way, when posting questions here, don't use meaningless subject lines, such as "Quick script question". If you're posting here, it's almost certain to be a question about a script. It doesn't matter whether it's quick. Use the subject line to tell people what it's about.

Unique Script Questions-timed startup?

Hello All,
I am long time mac fanatic with some unusual script questions. I have a project ongoing where I will need to put my pb 15" in a remote location with a Canon camera. Canon has transmitter device which will allow me via ethernet to ftp to my pb.
Here's essentially what I need to the script to do and I am trying to find out just how feasible this is. I need my laptop to bootup to receive photos via ftp at a certain time period. The camera will send to the builtin ftp software. Once booted I need the script to hold for period of about an hour. Once time has elapsed I need the script to connect to the internet via a broadband EVDO card. We are using one of the EVDO cards built in to Tiger. It then must ftp a folder of images to a remote server.
Simple, huh? : ) I am running Transmit as my ftp software. I believe it is scriptable and will watch a folder to send.
Any ideas? I'd love to hear them. I can be reached via scott at scottaudette.com.
This setup is going be used in very cool photo location but I can't publicly announce where.
Scott
G5 and PB 15" Mac OS X (10.4.7)

'Transmit ... I believe it is scriptable' - yes it is. Go to How can I use AppleScript with Transmit? to download sample 'Transmit' scripts.
'Once booted I need the script to hold for period of about an hour.' - well then, save the script as a 'stay open' application, with an 'on idle () ... end idle' handler - with a return of (60 * 60) seconds; and then drag the saved application onto the 'System Preferences' 'Accounts' 'Login Items' tab's list - of the user which the Mac will boot to (when turned ON).

I may be on the wrong trail here, but the method you are using i think is related to Microsoft DAO. However, you initial definitions relate to ADO.
It is not a technique i have seen used with FDM as i am used to using ADO and using the standard SQL options such as Select, Insert etc.

FDM - scripting variable for reversing the account

Is there somehow a possibility to tell if the account is intended to be reversed or not (e.g. change the type from revenue to expense). I'm looking for a specific variable that you can use in scripting. I looked through the API guide, but didn't find this information. I rather not look at the tables, but I will if I have to.
I'm using the pull adapter G-3-J in FDM 11.1.1.1.0 and file I have data for multiple periods in the source. I'm storing some of the amounts into the user defined dimensions and I need to be able the change the sign on these if the account type is changed (e.g. from revenue to expense).

Yes and I would like to reuse the information if the box is ticked or not in order to the change the sign for user defined dimensions 9 - 19, as explained in the first message.
Is it somehow possible using predefined functions / scripts or do you have to make a custom script?

FLASH MX 2004 action script question

Hi!
I need to create an script for a basic function; when mouse goes over a moveclip, that works also link, I want it to trigger an invisible red dot on a nerby map. I have created a movieclip and named it "red", it's a 1 sec clip with nothing in the beginning and a red dot in the end. I want this dot to trigger and show only when mouse goes over this specific link, otherwise it must be invisible.
I know this is pretty basic stuff and I have done this before few years back but I have forgotten how to do it and need help now.
Any help would be very much appreciated :-)
Kim

I still need help, this problem is little more complicated;
I can manage making the red dot visible and invisible by triggering roll over and roll out on a button.
The problem is, I have a navbar which is line of flags made to a movie clip, with 5 invisible buttons. These buttons are configured to do three different actions; get URL, trigger a light effect and a movement effect.
Now I need this invisible button to trigger my red dot also so that when mouse is over a certain flag a red dot appears on a map on the correct location.
I have the red dot on a new layer. It has instance name "redDot" and on the very first frame of this red button layer, I have action script that says: redDot._visible = false;
This works as it should and the dot is invisible when the movie has loaded.
I need to make this invisible button to trigger the visibility of my red dot, and I have tried to add the code:
on (rollOver) {
redDot._visible = true;
on (rollOut) {
redDot._visible = false;
to this invisible button, but it dosent work, furthermore it affects the other functions of the button/movie clip, which were working fine before.
Here is the code attached to this invisible button so far:
on (release) {
getURL(/:url1);
on (rollOver) {
gotoAndPlay(2);
on (rollOut) {
gotoAndPlay("sec");
I have the URL:s on an external text file.
So my question is; where do I add the action script to make it visible when moving the mouse over this invisible button? To my understanding, it should go in the same place as the other code that is working, but I'm doing something wrong...
I tried to do this:
on (release) {
getURL(/:url1);
on (rollOver) {
gotoAndPlay(2)
redDot._visible = true;
on (rollOut) {
gotoAndPlay("sec")
redDot._visible = false;
But it is wrong, I also tried like this:
on (release) {
getURL(/:url1);
on (rollOver) {
gotoAndPlay(2);
on (rollOut) {
gotoAndPlay("sec");
on (rollOver) {
redDot._visible = true;
on (rollOut) {
redDot._visible = false;
But it makes the other functions that worked to stop working.
I also tried to give the invisible button an instance name and do it like this:
invisible.on (rollOver) {
redDot._visible = true;
invisible.on (rollOut) {
redDot._visible = false;
And put them in the actions layer of button movie clip but nothing works.
Flash is really giving me a headache now...
To conclude, I made a simple test button, put it on the scene somewhere and and attached the rollOver and rollOut codes, targeting the "redDot" and it works fine, the button didn't need a instance name to work. I don't understand why I can't make it to work with the invisible button where it should be.
I hope this clarifies the point and I can get some help with this and sorry for bothering again with this problem.
Oh and I use old Flash MX 2004.
Thanks
Kim

Madwifi-ng preup/predown script question [solved]

Hi,
I recently installed Arch 0.7.1 on my laptop.
So far I am very impressed with the speed and the simplicity :-)
I just have one small problem: madwifi-ng
Currently, I have to manually create the ath0 interface with wlanconfig, which is annoying. On the Gentoo forum I have found a partial script with preup/predown functions (the thread is located here)
preup() {
if [ "${IFACE}" == "ath0" ]; then
/sbin/wlanconfig ath0 create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode sta > /dev/null
return $?
fi
if mii-tool ${IFACE} 2> /dev/null | grep -q 'no link'; then
ewarn "No link on ${IFACE}, aborting configuration"
return 1
fi
return 0
predown() {
if [ "${IFACE}" == "ath0" ]; then
killall wpa_supplicant
/sbin/wlanconfig ath0 destroy
return $?
fi
return 0
I am using a Netgear WG511T pcmcia card.
I would really appreciate any suggestions on where to put this code, and how to modify it for use with Arch Linux, or if I should use something else alltogether.
Thanks in advance!

Another interesting problem: I recently upgraded to the latest madwifi-ng code with svn update and also started using wpa_supplicant 0.5.0 (upgraded from 0.4.7)
The netcfg script stopped working and after a little tinkering I discovered that the following section from start_profile() in the netcfg script was killing wpa_supplicant before it could connect:
while ! wpa_cli status | grep "wpa_state=COMPLETED" >/dev/null 2>&1; do
if [ $i -gt 10 ]; then
wpa_cli terminate >/dev/null 2>&1
ifconfig $WIFI_INTERFACE down
stat_fail && return
fi
sleep 2
let i++
done
fi
I have now commented out the loop and running the command "netcfg netgear" no longer halts there and so far everything seems to be fine again. I am guessing more than a 20 second timeout is needed, so I'll try having the iterator increment to 30 or something and see if that solves it.
[EDIT]
Now using [ $i -gt 30 ]; and it works. On second thought, since everything now really just works and my main question was essentially answered, I am adding [solved] to the title.
Thanks again!

Simple Action Script question

This is probably a very basic question, but going through all
my old Flash work didn't help me remember...
I have my animation starting on the main stage with an image
fading in. when that is done playing, at the end i want it to go to
a movie clip on the stage and play it from frame 2. what is the
action script for this?

Doesn't seem to be working... your_mc is the instance name of
the mc, correct? i placed this script in a frame - it's above where
my mc first appears and the initial animation on the stage ends. is
that correct?
stop();
tellTarget(mc_square-grid){
gotoAndPlay(2);
When I test the movie, the initial animation plays then
stops, but the MC does not start playing. and the following error
message appears:
Target not found: Target="NaN" Base="_level0"

ITunes Apple Script question

Any thoughts why the following script generates will only force a refresh of the smart playlist "Random Country" if Live Updating is turned off. This script works for the other two playlists shown which have Live Updating turned on.
on run
          tell application "iTunes"
--delete every track of playlist "Random Christian"
--delete every track of playlist "Mainstream"
                    delete every track of playlist "Random Country"
          end tell
end run
I get the following error why I run the script with Live Updating activated.
error "iTunes got an error: every track of playlist \"Random Country\" doesn’t understand the delete message." number -1708 from every track of playlist "Random Country"
I am currently running iTunes 11.0.2 on OSX 10.8.2

Thanks Winston Churchill. I was missing purchased content (cloud stuff) on my ATV2. The problem was with iTunes and many others were having similar problems. I asked them to fix iTunes so it worked, but they insisted on giving me outdated instructions that had no relevance to me. It is very frustrating dealing with them. I intentionally shortened my question when I asked it here just to find out what the directions they gave meant and you have answered that. Thanks again. This is the thread about missing shows:
