FileBase Name versus file name

What is the difference between File name and file base name? usage is Ctril J and selecting display options.

FileName includes the FileExtension (.JPEG, .CR2, .NEF, .DNG etc), the FileBaseName does not.

Is XI Mapping dependent on the Adapter Type ??? JDBC versus File Adapter

Gretings,
I am setting a scenario JDBC (Access) -> XI -> Idoc ->R3.
First I set up the scenarion File ->XI ->IDOC. Everything worked fine, and the I tried to use JDBC adapter instead of the File Adapter. The JDBC adapter is able to retrieve the data from the Access Database but I got a mapping problem only the Idoc control record was filled, the data segment are empty.
This mapping was working fine in the case of a File adapter !!!
Here is the XML File in a case of File Adapter :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
- <ns:POS_TRANSACTION xmlns:ns="http://aramco.com/XI/POS_OIL">
<DATE>11/17/2004</DATE>
<TIME>08:25:03</TIME>
<TRANS_CODE>01</TRANS_CODE>
<CUSTOMER>1235</CUSTOMER>
<AMOUNT>105</AMOUNT>
<POS_ID>1000</POS_ID>
</ns:POS_TRANSACTION>
And then The XML file in a case of JDBC adapter :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
- <ns:POS_TRANSACTION xmlns:ns="http://aramco.com/XI/POS_OIL">
- <row>
<DATE>11/17/2004</DATE>
<TIME>00:00:07</TIME>
<TRANS_CODE>01</TRANS_CODE>
<CUSTOMER>23456</CUSTOMER>
<AMOUNT>1456</AMOUNT>
<POS_ID>1000</POS_ID>
</row>
</ns:POS_TRANSACTION>
what is really strange is SAP XI mapping process should be adapter independent ! why am I having this problem ?
Any help is more than welcome.
Regards,
Mustapha

Hallo Mustapha,
as far as i know, it is currently not possible to omit the row tag. Looking at the technique behind it, it makes sense: the JDBC Adapter polls a database with an SQL Statement and what gets back from the database is a resultset with zero, one or more rows (compare JDBC Classes, where you have java.sql.ResultSet). I guess, that maybe in later versions, it could be possible to customize the row tag to any name you want, but it will never be possible to completely omit it, as SQL statements can retrieve several rows and then you need to be able to differentiate between the rows.
best regards
Christine

Open a pdf from a buffered stream versus file system?

With the PDF Library SDK is it possible to open a pdf from a stream versus the file system?

Yes, but not trivially. You would have to implement your own
ASFileSys, which is a method for accessing "files". This is a
collection of methods, rather like an object oriented class, but in C.
You would have to support get, put, open, random access, file naming
etc.

Global Properties versus file under WEB

I have a situation where I am using a central MII server to use virtual xacute queries to retrieve data from a number of remote plants. For some reason, the client does not want to use Global properties to set Remote site specific properties. In order to use generic transactions, I now use a set of filesunder the WEB folder to contain the site specific data. These files are text in nature, but I anticipate using xml files there in the future.
Can anyone tell me the pros and cons of using WEB folders versus Global Properties?
I already know that it requires more sequences and action blocks to load the information instead of just referring to the property, but are there other drawbacks?
What kind of performance hit will I take with this approach?
Any thoughts?

I think you answered the question yourself
The biggest question would be
1. Maintainability (Maintaining Global properties as opposed to maintaining a file would definitely be easier)
2. Accessibility.
From a performance point I don't think it'll be too big a overhead reading XML or text files but the above 2 reasons should win the argument for global properties.
Other than that if these remote calls are User/Role specific then you can explore Custom Attributes as well , which are global in nature and easily accessible.

I have 1920x1080 files to edit in iMovie to show on large movie screen for charity event what is best frame rate and best save option for quality versus file size?

I shoot a lot of HD video of my kid, and at first I struggled to find a good balance between maintaining the full-resolution original footage and having something a little more reasonable and lightweight to work with. For example, even on my one-year-old iMac, I can't smoothly scrub the full HD video clips in the editor -- but if the clips have been 'optimized' to 960 x 540, they're smooth as butter (and still look good enough for almost every output scenario).
If, when you're importing the original footage, you enable the "Optimize video" checkbox, you'll get the lightweight version in your event library, but you won't get a copy of the orignal footage as well. It'll still be on your camera (or wherever else you put it before heading to iMovie), but that's not very helpful.
If you're using iMovie '09 (v.8) or '11 (v.9), there's a decent way to do this that isn't terribly obvious.
So here's what I do:
When importing the original footage, disable the 'Optimize video' checkbox, and select the 'Move files' radio button. This will move the full HD clip into /[selected volume]/iMovie Events/[event title]. (Or you can use 'Copy files' and get the same end result.)
Select the new event in the Event Library in iMovie, and go to File » Optimize Video » Large -- 960x540 (or 'Full,' which is still going to be more compressed than the original HD, but at the same resolution; I find 'Large' to be just fine for my needs, though).
That second step takes the original HD clip that was in /[selected volume]/iMovie Events/[event title] and moves it into /[selected volume]/iMovie Original Movies/[event title], and then puts the optimized version into /[selected volume]/iMovie Events/[event title].
Now you've got a fully organized directory structure containing all of your original HD footage, sorted by event, plus an Event Library full of nice lightweight versions for quick editing and exporting.

Thanks for that info! Even in my time answering questions on iMovie Discussion Group, I never had a good understanding of when and how Optimize Movie came into play. I always would import as Optimized and Large Size and figured that was good enough. But knowing you got much, much more flexibility doing it the way you describe gives me a much better understanding of the different routes you can take into the Event Library.

Folders' item count versus file count.

At the risk of making a comparison to Windows, it has a default behavior that provides more detailed information.
In the example below, with Mavericks and Windows 7 in Parallels, I "Get Info" and show "Properties" on the same Music folder, respectively.
As you can see, Windows breaks it down to Files and Folders, whereas Mavericks only shows an Item count.
Is there a setting to toggle in Mavericks to provide this level of detail?
Is there a third party plug-in that is recommended that can accomplish the same thing?

You get what you see.

File Channels versus File Streams

When should you use each one?

I need to get the file channels using java1.3 but FileInputStream.getChannel() is since 1.4, how can i get the work done using 1.3.You can't. The requirement is a contradiction in terms. Either you must use a FileChannel or you must use 1.3. There is no third choice.

Setting the title for File download dialog when using content-disposition

I am trying to send a file from server to client (browser). I am setting the content type of the resopnse and using the "content-disposition" header and giving the filename.
But the issue is, when it is downloading and the dialog box is showing the progress bar, The title of the dialog box is showing something like "40% of localhost:9080.....". It doesn't show the file name in the title bar. Also, if the URL is very long (I am passing some get parameters and the servlet name is also long), I get junk characters like small boxes.
How to set this title in the servlet?

Is there a reason why you have to use FileReference.Save versus File.browseForSave? In Adobe AIR, the File class, which extends the FileReference class, provides more capabilities and has less security restrictions than the FileReference class. Using File.browseForSave, it has a title:String parameter which is a string that is diplayed in the title bar of the dialog box.

How to use 'flat file extraction' option in Infospoke

Hello Gurus,
We are trying to extract the BW data using Infospoke to a 3rd party ETL tool (Datastage). Now in the current BW 3.5 release, the customer is on SP11 and we are not able to extract any data using a 3rd party system option in Infospoke. Due to the fact, we found out from SAP, that since we are getting an error (3rd party system is not set)in infospoke, we have to upgrade the SP level from 11 to either 16 or 17. The customer that we are dealing with is not going to do that until July - 2007.
So now we have a second option to load the 'flat file' in BW App. server and FTP to Datastage. Is this something workable option?
When using that option within Infospoke destination Tab, we can see two options. One is to use File option and load the data within the standard DIR HOME. I tried that but I can't see the file and the entire data within the standard directory. Can anyone explain why and what will be the procedure to follow?
The second option is to use Logical file. I never done that before. Can anyone explain step by step process or provide the detail document and/or link?
Since we are at the critical timeframe stage, I would appreciate if I can get the faster response from the Gurus.
I will make sure to give 'reward points' to each and every helpful answer(s).
thanks in advance,
Maulesh

Hi shashi,
first, let me clarify one thing here! I am not saying '3rd party tool' as an option in infospoke. I know Infospoke provides only two options (DB table, and file). But when you use DB table option, you check mark on 3rd party destination and that's where you define an RFC destination for 3rd party tool. So when you execute an infospoke, it will start extracting data and load into the defined destination. Since we are on SP11 on BW 3.5 release, we are getting an error while executing an Infospoke using 'DB table option'. The error is like '3rd party destination is not set'. When I went to Marketplace and found an OSS note, I found out that we need an upgrade on SP level (upto 17).
   As I mentioned earlier, the client doesn't want to upgrade until next year, and we are at the critical timeframe stage, where we have to make a decision whether we hold this project until the SP upgrade happens or found alternate approach where we can extract the data from BW (somehow) and load into Teradata database via Datastage - BW Pack (3rd party ETL).
   So we might be able to use the second option in Infospoke destination, which is to use 'Flat file' load.
   Now when I use File option with App. server checked, the data loads into default Server and directory on BW. Which is DIR_HOME. I can see those file extracted and loaded into that directory under the transaction AL11. But I can't see any data. Do you think I have to request for an increase in size limit? If I see all the data, how can I FTP from the BW server? Do I have to work with SAP Basis or create a UNIX script?
   When I use Logical file name, I guess I have to follow what you have described on your response, correct? Can i use an existing Logical path and file name? Do you have a 'How to' document on creating YEAR and PER FM? Is it possible that Basis can do this work for us? What happens after we assign a logical Path and logical file name into the destination tab on Infospoke? What is the use of logical file versus file? Overall, I am looking for a process from extracting the data from Infospoke using either file or logical file, all the way to load into 3rd party database.
looking forward for your response!
thanks,
Maulesh

Image size versus dimension

I am just trying to get my head around image size versus dimension and an answer to my following question may solve it once and for all! I save a jpg say at 1000 pixels wide and at 100 ppi at file quality 10. But if I save the same file at 1000 pixels wide and again at 100 ppi but this time at quality 5 - what is happening to the file? I have the same number of pixels in the photo but what is the quality slider actually doing?
Many thanks
Sue

21st century or not, if you are talking about file integrity, nothing beats an EPS. Although as stated previously, EPS has definitely fallen out of popularity, partly I think due to cross-platform issues -- i.e., PC's inability to deal with them (talk about archaic) and partly due to hosting applications current ability to accept native files. EPSs are totally encapsulated, totally lossless, and totally impervious to hosting software interference -- which TIFFs, JPEGs, nor PSDs can boast. Basically, WYSIWYG.
And yes, there actually are instances where you DO just re-save files -- usually in an attempt to clean up corrupt or problematic files -- but not just for the sake of re-saving. I agree, nobody does that. I was just making a point.
I'm not advocating JPEGs and by no means do I advocate the constant re-saving of them. But I will not discount them as fodder or relegate them strictly to the internet! They are simply another tool in the toolbox. I do agree with you that saving as JPEG should be the last step in the production process. In addition, a full-bodied backup should be kept in reserve (be it TIFF, PSD, or heaven forbid, EPS).
My original point was to address Sue's question of "Image versus Dimension" in JPEG format. My point with you is that JPEGs definitely have a place and some advantages when a balance of quality versus file size/storage space is an issue. It is ridiculous to simply discount JPEG to the web. Although I would not use it for a high-end brochure or an annual report, I wouldn't hesitate for a second to use JPEG for newsprint, high-end copying and some direct imaging. It is a sound format if applied properly based on the end usage. But by no means is it an end-all format. And, I think I work in the same world as you.

IPhoto issues editing Raw files in PE4

I've just acquired Photoshop Elements 4 and was happy at the prospect or keeping my photos in iPhoto and editing them in Elements.
I mostly shoot in RAW format but when editing a RAW file in Elements I can't get the edit to show up in iPhoto (version 6).
On the other hand when processing jpegs from iPhoto to Elements the edits show up fine back in iPhoto.
Is the problem with the format change when converting RAW to Jpeg I wonder?
I did notice that when saving the edited RAW file -and choosing Jpeg as the new format- iPhoto defaulted to the "Original" not the "Modified" folder for the save. Couldn't iPhoto determine that the file has been modified? Is that because the extension was changed?
I also tried saving and manually selecting the MODIFIED folder but with unhappy results. The edit did show up, and in it's proper place, but when viewing in "full screen" mode the image resorted back to the unedited version after 3 or 4 seconds. I tried that a couple of times with the same results...!? I hope I didn't corrupt anything in the process!
I realise I could just do a "save as" to my desktop and import back to iPhoto but that creates a double and also a new roll for each import...
I haven't seen any posts about this. Has anyone had the same problem, or am I missing something elementary?
Thanks for any feedback.

iPhoto is a consumer-level application, and RAW is a format mostly for professionals. When you import a RAW file into iPhoto it saves the RAW in the Originals folder and instantly creates a jpeg version of it in the Modified folder. This causes the problem with your editing workflow.
Yes, changing the file extension in Elements is the same as doing a Save As - it breaks the link iPhoto has with the original. This is why you don't see your edits back in iPhoto. Any time you change the extension you will need to save as to the desktop and import the edit as a new original into iPhoto. As you've seen, you cannot save directly into the iPhoto library folder because images must be Imported for iPhoto to recognize them. If you know which files you placed in there, go ahead and drag them out (using Finder) to your desktop. Then import. (Be careful not to tamper with anything else in the library folder while you're in there.)
My suggestion for your RAW workflow is to use Image Capture (in your Applications folder) to upload from your camera (to a folder anywhere outside of your iPhoto library folder). Edit in Elements. Last, import into iPhoto. Once inside iPhoto, the desktop copies can be deleted. You can set Image Capture to open when you connect a camera in Image Capture Preferences.
iPhoto does create a new roll each time you import photos, but you can always reorganize your rolls. Choose Library and View > Sort Photos > by Film Rolls and you can combine, create, retitle, and redate your rolls. For example, you could keep separate rolls for files with a RAW original versus files imported as jpegs.

360 degrees product rotate using an flv file

Does anybody know of any action script that plays an .flv
file in flash, with a slider bar that will play the
video forwards and backwards?
Basically I want to create a 360 product spin using an flv
instead of a jpeg sequence as I believe it is faster.
Something similar to this:

If I may, just my 2 Malaysia's Cents.
I don't think scrubbing through video will be more efficient
than timeline based
images sequence. Video will likely be larger is size and
lower quality compared
to what you could do with images sequence. With images you
can as well control
the export compression to fine tune quality versus file size.
With video, you will
have to do multiple rendering. More time consuming
Also, it has much to do with action script itself as well as
number of frames used
for the 360. Take for example my MINI Cooper S:
http://flashfugitive.com/stuff/360/car/mini.html
Much smoother and smaller than the link above, you can also
drag it and throw.

* yofla.com 3d-rotate - 1.5mb

Export versus Archive

I have recently upgraded to the New MobileMe Calendar which I synch with iCal on my MacBook and with the calendar app on my iPhone. I have always backedup iCal using Time Machine. With the new MM Calendar, Apple states, "Important: Do not rely on traditional methods for backing up calendar data, such as exporting the iCal database, Time Machine, MobileMe Backup, or iTunes backups of iOS devices." This can be found in the support article
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4226
The backup process says to Choose File > Export > Export (versus File > Export > iCal Archive). My understanding is that when using Export > Export, you have to export each of your calendars separately, whereas with Archive you get everything with one export.
I guess I don't understand the difference between export and archive as far as the resulting file is concerned. And, the main question is, can I use Archive to backup and then, if necessary, restore my calendar data.
Also, if at some time in the future I decide not to use MobileMe any more, I would like to be able to restore all my old calendar data.
Thanks.

Anyone has an answer to this question.
It's still a question mark for me too
Cheers

How to transfer data off HD of old iMac running OS 10.5.8 onto new iMac running yosemite

my older brother's 24" iMac running Leopard 10.5.8 is having issues and shuts itself off without notice so we got him a new 27" iMac off the apple website.
We also bought the Apple Extended warranty due to his & my computer skills are limited plus he lives in another state for a quick drop by to help with my limited skills as well.
His local non apple tech person thinks the old iMac probably has an issue with Mother board causing computer to shut itself down and suggested replacing old mac with a newer one which we did.
I was visiting my older brother who lives out of state a couple weeks ago when the new iMac arrived so I tried to transfer data off old HD to new iMac via USB cable but got error message saying the old iMac also had to be running OS Yosemite!
Due to how far back his old iMac OS version is, and not knowing where / how to get the newer OS disks needed what are his options to get data from Old iMac to new iMac?
Also, his old iMac shut down again and he has not been able to get the old mac to start back up so upgrading OS's does not seem to be an option now.
Before his mac shut down, my brother thinks someone told him that if he had iCloud set up his data could transfer via iCloud?   I have no idea if that is correct nor how to set that up.
if i remember correctly when i was there a couple weeks ago when the old iMac was running during the process of trying to transfer data I think the new computer also gave another option on how to transfer-migrate data but I don't' remember what that was?
DUE to the old imac may not start up again, can't he have the old iMac HD removed and put into an external case and plug it into new iMac as and external HD & then take files off for use on the new iMac?
any and all suggestions / help will be appreciated.
Thanks
Bob

Thanks that was very helpful for transferring files and looks like it solves the problem with not having to update the Operating Systems to Yosemite.
I forgot to ask about how does one transfer actual Programs like MS Office for example from the old drive?
Transferring files using the drag and drop process is simple enough but don't actual Programs like MS Office have a much more complicated/larger data package that may be located in various places on the old HD versus files are much smaller and are in one place?
If I remember right when i got a new iMac a few years ago, my old mac was still working so i was able to use a cable to transfer data & programs off it to newer iMac and ALL of the Programs like Office etc. transferred over including user accounts etc.? I may be wrong as its been a few years?
Again Any help & or suggestions are appreciated!
Thanks
Bob

Resolutions: download thru Apple TV vs download thru Macbook

(1) Does anyone know is there a difference in resolutions for movie files that are downloaded directly from Apple TV versus files that are downloaded from Macbook and sync into Apple TV? One thing I do realize that Apple TV does offer HD formats to some of the files too which is not available when using a macbook.
(2) I tried to rip a DVD into MP4 files for my Apple TV in 640*480 format which is consistent with the files downloaded from iTunes Store thru the Macbook, however, the MP4 file cannot be sync into my iphone or ipod touch for some reason.
Please assist me in the above issues.

Playable formats from Apple TV specs:
* H.264 and protected H.264 (from iTunes Store): up to 5 Mbps, Progressive Main Profile (CAVLC) with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps (maximum resolution: 1280 by 720 pixels at 24 fps, 960 by 540 pixels at 30 fps) in .m4v, .mp4 and .mov file formats
* iTunes Store purchased video: 320 by 240 pixels, 640 by 480 pixels, 720 by 480 pixels (anamorphic) or high-definition 720p
* MPEG-4: up to 3 Mbps, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps (maximum resolution: 720 by 432 pixels at 30 fps) in .m4v, .mp4 and .mov file formats
The problem you have I suspect is that you're converting to MPEG-4 rather than the h.264 variant.
I had a TV recording in PAL format (576 lines) I tried to convert to MP4 for speed and it wouldn't play, while h264 would though encoding is far slower.
