Forms6i, read and write Images to BLOB

I read and write jpg's to the database with this commands:
Read_Image_File (V_Filename, 'JPG', 'BILDER.IM_BILD');
Write_Image_File (V_Filename, 'JPG', 'BILDER.IM_BILD', No_Compression, Original_Depth);
My problem is, that forms stores a jpg-format to the db, that cannot be read from java-programs.
The other way, when java stores jpg's to the BLOB, then forms can work fine with this images too and java also...
What does forms do, when it stores jpg's to the db, so that other programs cannot use the images?

Help ,ImageIO exception to read and write

Hi,
I'm dynamically creating image files through screens utility of java(prog name:- Test_ScreenShot.java) and saving
them in memory sequentially(pic0.jpg,pic1.jpg....etc).Simultaneously I'm accessing the saved files from another
independent application(Prog name:- Test_Main.java) through piping(executing the application like this "Java
Test_Screens|Java Test_Main").The application is in infinite loop.I'm using Version JDK 1.5
I use java Image to read and write image:-
My application was running well for days.But now I'm getting sudden exceptions.
I got an exception while trying to save an dynamically generated image file in the local memory using the Image
class.In brief I'm getting exactly 3 types of exceptions:-
1)java.io.FileNotFoundException: pic5.jpg (Access is denied)
2)"Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
3)Exception in thread "main" com.sun.image.codec.jpeg.ImageFormatException: Not a JPEG file: starts with 0xff 0xd9
Here is the code snippent I wrote:
/* Robot robot = new Robot();
BufferedImage image = robot.createScreenCapture(screenRect);
// save captured image to jpg file
ImageIO.write(image, "jpg", new File(outFileName));*/
And here is the exception I am finding (I never found this before, I executed the code many times )

But after running a long time suddenly its giving following exceptions:-

My question is:-
1)Where is the actual problem?Is it any kind of bug?
2)I'm using the concept of piping recently to execute the application.Can it be the cause?
When I googled I found the following informations.There is a bug in ImageIO while trying to write image file.But
I'm not sure about that it will be relevent here :-

Hello,
I am writng to ask a doubt I have been encountered. I have an array of Image URL's and I am downloading the images using thses URL for each index. The example for an image URL will be as follows:
http://www.firstmonday.org/issues/issue6_10/wiggins/google-3oct2001.gifIf the URL is abroken link, I am getting the exception. But if the URL is somewhat hanging (which means when u open that URL in IE or Mozilla, the statuc bar for downloading the image will be hanging).
So i want to set a timer for every link while downloading. may be 10min. My idea is if in that 10min, if code does not completes downloading the images, then ignore that link and proceed furthur.
Can u please tell me how to write this.. Please tell me any other idea to tackle this problem.
Thank you,
Chaitanya

What is the fastest way to record and write image data?

Hello,
I am new to labview and am using the IMAQ software package to record and write data from a CCD camera to the hard drive. The end goal is a program that records and saves as much data as possible as quickly as possible, for experiments lasting on the scale of days. I have been experimenting with the snap, grab, and sequence methods of recording. To save the image data I was told by NI customer support that TDMS streaming would be the fastest method. I have also been experimenting with the TDMS VIs, however I have found the IMAQ Write File 2 VI to be faster in practice. Am I doing something wrong with the TDMS file structure? Is there a more efficient way to convert IMAQ image data to a dataform that can be written as TDMS? I am posting two of my programs to provide a clearer example of what I am trying to do. The first takes a snap of the image and appends it to a TDMS file. The second is the fastest I have found so far and uses Grab to record the images and the IMAQ Write File VI to save them.
Thanks

Hi
For me it is no surprise that the second VI is faster then the first one, the reason is you can not compare this two VI with each other.
In the first VI you work with TDMS files, in the second with png files. That would be much faster, because TDMS files need a lot of diskspace.
Second point, why do you open, write and close for eacht iteration of the for loop a TDMS file in your first VI? That need really a lot of resources, so it coudn´t be fats as well.
Save your converted pictures in one array, an after the acquisition you can save it in one TDMS file. When you need for each picture a TDMS file you have to know that this need some time to do this.
So now for the architecture of your first VI, please look to the LL Sequence.vifrom the examples (C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 8.6\examples\IMAQ\IMAQ Low Level.llb\LL Sequence.vi), there you can see how an acquisition of a number of images have been to do.
When you like it really fast, you make a producer/consumer architecture (see examples in LabVIEW for that).
So in the first whileloop you acquire the images, write into a queue and in the second, parallel whileloop you read the queue and save the images. (see attachment)
Hope that helps
Kind regards

How to burn read and write files on DVD

I would like to know how to burn DVDs (image files) with the Read and Write setting. I have changed the settings in Get Info for the image files to Read and Write for Owner, Group and Others and yet when I burn the DVD and try and copy the files back onto the hard drive (to test if it works or not) it won't allow me. When I check the Get Info it says Read and Write for owner (greyed out) and Read Only for Group and Others (greyed out too).
I have also tried to change the status of the blank DVD before adding files and after adding the files (but b4 the burn) to Read and Write, this works but then during the burn process the DVD or burner changes my settings to Read Only.
I am burning with Finder and have tried with Toast 10 Titanium. What am I doing wrong, or not doing at all?! I'm going loopy with frustration!

Kiraly, I agree that the actual problem here might be something else, but as a side issue there seems to be a difference in the way permissions are handled when a file copy is made using Finder compared to when the copy is made using the cp copy in Terminal. At least in my Tiger system, Finder preserved the permission structure, though not the ownership, when it copied a file, whereas cp used the OS defaults.
I tried the following experiment:
From my test user account "t", I created a textfile named ReadWrite.txt, and gave it Read+Write permissions for Owner, Group, and Others. I then burned it using Finder to a DVD which I named PermissionTest, and then unchecked the "Ignore Ownership" box on PermissionTest.
The original ownership and permissions were preserved on the DVD, though of course you couldn't actually write to anything there:
xxG5-Computer:~ t$ ls -l /Volumes/PermissionTest/ReadWrite.txt
-rw-rw-rw- 1 t t 15 Sep 13 18:25 /Volumes/PermissionTest/ReadWrite.txt
I then copied the file from the DVD to the Desktop using Finder, and the permissions were preserved!
Finder copy:
xxG5-Computer:~ t$ ls -l /Users/t/Desktop/ReadWrite.txt
-rw-rw-rw- 1 t t 15 Sep 13 18:25 /Users/t/Desktop/ReadWrite.txt
I then trashed the Finder copy of ReadWrite,txt on the desktop, and made a second copy from the DVD, but this time I used the cp command from Terminal instead of using Finder. This time the permissions were not preserved, but reverted to the OS default:
cp copy:
xxG5-Computer:~ t$ cp /Volumes/PermissionTest/ReadWrite.txt Desktop
xxG5-Computer:~ t$ ls -l /Users/t/Desktop/ReadWrite.txt
-rw-r--r-- 1 t t 15 Sep 13 19:43 /Users/t/Desktop/ReadWrite.txt
I then switched to a different user account "t1", and repeated the above with the same DVD, first copying the ReadWrite.txt file to the desktop using Finder, and then using cp. The ownership of the copied file changed from t to t1 in both cases, but the permission structure again was preserved in the Finder copy but not in the cp copy:
DVD file:
xxG5-Computer:~ t1$ ls -l /Volumes/PermissionTest/ReadWrite.txt
-rw-rw-rw- 1 t t 15 Sep 13 18:25 /Volumes/PermissionTest/ReadWrite.txt
Finder copy:
xxG5-Computer:~ t1$ ls -l /Users/t1/Desktop/ReadWrite.txt
-rw-rw-rw- 1 t1 t1 15 Sep 13 18:25 /Users/t1/Desktop/ReadWrite.txt
cp copy:
xxG5-Computer:~ t1$ cp /Volumes/PermissionTest/ReadWrite.txt Desktop
xxG5-Computer:~ t1$ ls -l /Users/t1/Desktop/ReadWrite.txt
-rw-r--r-- 1 t1 t1 15 Sep 13 19:51 /Users/t1/Desktop/ReadWrite.txt
I got similar results when I tried copying a file with Read+Write permissions for all from a USB flash drive to the Desktop, again with the "Ignore Ownership" box unchecked.

Read and write data from content repository .

Hi All,
We are using content repository to store some document and images on web center server .
So we have created/setup a content repository on web center .
Please proivde me some documnet /wiki page to get some idea how can i read and write date in
content repository .
You are most welocme to provide some idea /suggestion .
Thanks,
Arun.

Have you already configured webcenter spaces so it can use content server?
Have you installed the content server seperatly from webcenter or as a part of the webcenter installation?
Check if you have the webcenter spaces component installed in content server because without i don't think it will work...
If you already have configured UCM to work with spaces it's quiet easy.
From your groupspace, open the settings page of your groupspace. Go to the services tab. In the left hand side you can enable the documents services. WHen you have done that, you are able to add the document services taskflows to your pages. Just go to a page in your pagegroup and edit it. Open the resource catalog and you will find some extra taskflows you can add.
If you haven't configured UCM and webcenter to work together, here some steps that will help you:
* Integrating UCM with Spaces
     * They both need to use the same LDAP store.
     * Since there is no LDAP server available, we choose for embedded WLS LDAP.
     * Integrating the ucm into apache
          * Stop UCM
          * In /oracle/product/wls10320/WebCenter/ucm/config/config.cfg, check the SocketHostAddressSecurityFilter to contain 127.0.0.1
          * Add the SocketHostAddressSecurityFilter to /oracle/product/wls10320/WebCenter/ucm/admin/bin/intradoc.cfg
          * Add to /oracle/product/wls10320/WebTier/instances/instance1/config/OHS/ohs1/httpd.conf
               include /oracle/product/wls10320/WebCenter/ucm/data/users/apache22/apache.conf
          * Change the mod_wl_ohs.conf file to
               <IfModule weblogic_module>

In iCal and Notifications on a notebook, is it possible to expand the notes window to make it easier to read and write notes?

In iCal and Notifications on a notebook, is it possible to expand the notes window to make it easier to read and write notes? In the past, I have used Outlook calendar and tasks and I was able to expand the windows which allowed me to put a great amount of details into either the notes section in events and tasks. It would be great to be able to do this in iCal and Notifications as well. I am using a Macbook Pro with OS X 10.8. Thank you very much for assistance with this.

Your drive is formatted with the NTFS file system. OS X can read but not write to the NTFS file system. There are third party drivers available that claim to add the ability to OS X to write to an NTFS partition. I have not tried them and don't know if they work.
The only file system that OS X and Windows can both write to natively is the FAT32 file system.

Need help to read and write using UTF-16LE

Hello,
I am in need of yr help.
In my application i am using UTF-16LE to export and import the data when i am doing immediate.
And sometimes i need to do the import in an scheduled formate..i.e the export and imort will happend in the specified time.
But in my application when i am doing scheduled import, they used the URL class to build the URL for that file and copy the data to one temp file to do the event later.
The importing file is in UTF-16LE formate and i need to write the code for that encoding formate.
The problem is when i am doing scheduled import i need to copy the data of the file into one temp place and they doing the import.
When copying the data from one file to the temp i cant use the UTF-16LE encoding into the URL .And if i get the path from the URl and creating the reader and writer its giving the FileNotFound exception.
Here is the excisting code,
protected void copyFile(String rootURL, String fileName) {
URL url = null;
try {
url = new URL(rootURL);
} catch(java.net.MalformedURLException ex) {
if(url != null) {
BufferedWriter out = null;
BufferedReader in = null;
try {
out = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(fileName));
in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(url.openStream()));
String line;
do {
line = in.readLine();
if(line != null) {
out.write(line, 0, line.length());
out.newLine();
} while(line != null);
in.close();

Here String rootURL is the real file name from where i have to get the data and its UTF-16LE formate.And String fileName is the tem filename and it logical one.
I think i tried to describe the problem.
Plz anyone help me.
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
thanks for yr reply...
I did the as per yr words using StreamWriter but the problem is i need a temp file name to create writer to write into that.
but its an logical one and its not in real so if i create Streamwriten in that its through FileNotFound exception.
The only problem is the existing code build using URL and i can change all the lines and its very difficult because its vast amount of data.
Is anyother way to solve this issue?
Once again thanks..

How do I read and write at the same time using the NI-CAN channel API?

Here's the situation. I have one CAN bus, and I need to read and write channel data (using the channel API) at the same time both at an interval of 20 ms. It's easy to do one or the other using the channel API, but you can't setup a channel task to do both. It's either input or output, not both. Is this even possible?

Hi,
yes , this is possible. But you have to create two tasks, one for input and one for output. see the attached example for LabVIEW.
If you download and install NI-CAN 2.4 you will get this example and one for C and VB as well.

How do I set an external HD permission to read AND write?

I received an iMac for Christmas and need a little help. I have a 2TB external HD that contains .shn and .flac files of GD concerts (and other music). I managed to find Cog that will play them...but what I want to do is download them and move them upon completion to the external HD. I can not do this because the HD is read only. I can move stuff to a SD card because it is read and write. I assume when I change the permission I will be able to move the folder of a show to the HD as well. Surely this is simple... Thank You and sorry for the dumb question!

Your external hard drive is likely NTFS formatted for use with a PC.
OSX can read but cannot write to NTFS formatted volumes. You can install software that allows writing to a NTFS drive, as Niel has suggested, or you can reformat your external drive using Disk Utility for use with your Mac.
If you decide to reformat your drive for Mac use, copy your data off to another drive before you proceed.

How to share files in a network and allow read-and-write to a specific computer only?

I have several computers in my network, and I want to share a folder and allow read-and-write from computer A to Computer B only, and omit computer C. How do I do that? Thanks.

Thanks for the suggestion. I like this approach as Java is more familiar to me than other languages.
Our DBA is out of touch today, so I could not grant the javauserpriv to my database user. I tried to run the script anyway in the chance that my user had the privs, and it seemed to have hung. I am now combing Oracle's site for more documentation so I can write some tests to see if I can get a basic Java object working. Under what heading would I find this?

How do I read and write to text files on a remote computer's hard drive

I would like to read and write data to a text file on a remote computer. This is easily accomplished using one of the file functions such as "write characters to file.vi". If I am already connected to the remote computer, all I need to do is specify the path to the particular file and it will work fine.
My problem is that I want to connect to the remote computer programatically within LabVIEW (I do not want to have to use the computer's OS to establish the connection. Is there a function that I can use to do this?

Yariv,
You should really start a new thread with a new question like this, so that more people see it. Some people look primarily at threads that have no responses yet. Also, don't post the exact same question in multiple places. Or, if you must cross-post to some other forum, make sure to mention it in your question text.
I'm happy to be a brick in your Western Wall, but I'm not sure what the main objective is here. Is the main problem really getting access to the "X bytes received in Y seconds at Z bytes/sec" string? Or is it accomplishing the file transfer? And what OS and LabVIEW version are you running?
I think your problem is that you the LabVIEW System Exec command does not allow for the degree of interactivity that you need if you want to issue a sequence of commands to a command-line executable. However, under Windows XP (and, presumably, other Windows versions, though I can't check), you can tell the FTP executable to use commands from a textfile script by using the -s switch, and you can override the prompts during multiple file transfers with the -i switch:
ftp -i -s:FILEPATH SERVERNAME
If you issue a command in this format to System Exec, and make sure to create a file at FILEPATH with your command sequence (one per line), then you should at least accomplish the FTP actions. This won't give you the transfer details in the standard output, unfortunately. However, if you just want a general sense of how much was transferred and how quickly it happened, you can code that in LabVIEW by getting the resulting file sizes and using Tick Count before and after the System Exec call to see how long the transfer took.
Hope that helps,
John

How can i format an external drive so as to read and write from both windows and mac side

i recently bought a macbook pro and used bootcamp so as to be able to run win7 and mac. I now wish to have an external drive so as to backup and tranfer files between the two os's. Specifically to read and write form either windows or mac. How can I do this?
