I have written a program for the hosting company I work with
to provide users with statistical information. It works great for
clients using coldfusion. Thats who we have the most of anyway.
However clients using any other language it does not work for. I
was wondering if there is some javascript I could use so when
someone clicks the link I provided and they go thru cflocation to
the end users website if I could send about three variables in
javascript that would follow the user thruout the site and then if
the person reaches a conversion goal I can call on a coldfusion
page to update my database?
Did I just make any sense whatsoever?Would putting your conversion program into a cfc so it's
available as a web service help? -
Need help with conversion progrma for MTS video files. Can't download videos from Sony TX-10 camera
Have new macbook pro 13". Can't download videos from our Sony TX-10 camera. I understand I need some kind of conversion program for MTS video files. Need recommendation for a good conversion program to convert the video files.
Thanks, chieftdWell, sigh, that's not going to work.
I love how I can do months of research to choose the best camera for my needs and budget, which is NO easy task these days, but surprisingly find it on the unsupported list when it's a very popular camera. So, while it seems to support a whole bunch of other AVCHD options from Sony, not the NEX cameras.
The NEX cameras are the latest generation of mirrorless cameras (which, ironically, are great b/c they give dSLR quality still images while actually producing HD video that always records silently and stays in focus b/c it's mirrorless). The NEX 7 was just reviewed as Camera of the Year.
Bleh. Oh well. Maybe someday.
And, for anyone reading, Roxio Toast Titanium did convert it just fine but it took about 20 min or my time to set up a handful of clips and then a couple hours to complete converting them for the quality I was looking for. One was about 10 minutes of a kids' performance on Christmas and it took a long time. It's just not feasible given how many video clips I do with the camera a week - well, feasible when you consider all the cameras where this would be seamless.
Thanks for posting your reply - I appreciate it. -
Need Help with conversion of .ondd to PDF
Do you have in design?
I've branched your question to a new thread and retitled it so that someone might be able to help you.
What can you tell us about the .indd file, and what type of PDF -- Interactive or Print? Do you have the entire Indeagin Package foler with the links and font, or just the .indd file itself? -
Need help with conversion of TDMS to Excel VIs
Would somebody bother to convert these VIs to LabView Version 8.6, please?
Signalmessung_Export_Excel_final.vi
and the one attached. (Both are from this forum. I found them when searching for TDMS and Excel)
Very clever having set up such a conversion board!
Thank you !

[Solved] Help with conversion to systemd on remote server
Hi everyone ,
I've been trying to convert my server from initscripts to systemd using this wiki section: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Sy … nitscripts
Unfortunately, it looks like I'm missing something. After a reboot, the server (according to my provider) requests login on-screen, yet will not connect to the network (does not respond to pings)
This is my current DAEMONS array from rc.conf
DAEMONS=(net-profiles crond)
This is my previous array (from rc.conf.pacsave)
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng sshd net-profiles crond named)
I've added syslog-ng, sshd, and named using "systemctl enable .......service"
net-profiles.service also seems to be acting strangely, so I've included it in the daemons array
~$ ls /usr/lib/systemd/system/ | grep net-profiles
net-profiles.service
~$ systemctl enable $(ls /usr/lib/systemd/system/ | grep net-profiles)
Operation failed: No such file or directory
Is there a network service I'm forgetting?
My provider is OVH, do they have any special init scripts?
Extra info:
~$ ls /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/
httpd.service mysqld.service named.service remote-fs.target sshd.service syslog-ng.service vsftpd.service
I have access to the machine through a provided rescue kernel and chroot. When I run systemctl alone, it produces the following message:
~$ systemctl
Failed to get D-Bus connection: No connection to service manager.

Why do you think net-profiles.service exists? netcfg is no longer in use, but even when it was, it didn't include such a file.
I suggest you (re-)read the wiki's network config pages. Depending on your requirenets, you could end up using network.service, dhcpcd, service, or netctl, netcfg' successor.
It's in /usr/lib/systemd/system/, shouldn't I be able to enable it?

Which wiki page exactly? I'm not sure what information I'm looking for. Would I use only one of those services? Do I need a network service like dhcpcd or netctl?
Edit: Oh, hey... I fixed it
I enabling net-auto-wired.service, netcfg.service, and dhcpcd.service. Plus a grub-makeconfig for good measure (I had edited /etc/default/grub before the problem occurred to remove the "init=/usr/lib/systemd/systemd" line but I forgot to re-make the config.)

Help with converting hex to date and time
Hi!
I am using snmp4j libraries to walk the mib tree. The system date is getting returned in 11 hexadecimal octets. I require help in converting it to date and time. I looked up the RFC convention of what each octets represent. Require help with conversion.
Eg: 07:db:06:0a:29:1d:00:2b:05:1e
Thanks,Octets Contents Range
1-2 year 0..65536
3 month 1..12
4 day 1..31
5 hour 0..23
6 minutes 0..59
7 seconds 0..60
(use 60 for leap-second)
8 deci-seconds 0..9
9 direction from UTC '+' / '-'
10 hours from UTC 0..13
11 minutes from UTC 0..59
For example I just took the time an hour ago it came out as
07:db:06:13:12:11:1a:00:2b:05:1e
I have to convert this as a date long value to send it.
Do I have to write an utility of my own to do it? -
Need Help with data type conversion
Hello People,
I am new to java, i need some help with data type conversion:
I have variable(string) storing IP Address
IPAddr="10.10.103.10"
I have to call a library function which passes IP Address and does something and returns me a value.
The problem I have is that external function call in this library excepts IP Address in form of a byte array.
Here is the syntax for the function I am calling through my program
int createDevice (byte[] ipAddress).
now my problem is I don't know how to convert the string IPAddr variable into a byte[] ipAddress to pass it through method.Class InetAddress has a method
byte[] getAddress() You can create an instance using the static method getByName() providing the IP address string as argument. -
Hi,
First Special thanks to Kglad for the help with the AS1 to AS3 conversion.
I've been able to link up my buttons to play a different frames of the movie. this was my novice way of finally getting the programming to work.
In frame 95 I have
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
addChild(myLoader); var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest("page1.swf");
myLoader.load(url);
in frame 165:
var myLoader1:Loader = new Loader();
addChild(myLoader1); var url1:URLRequest = new URLRequest("page1.swf");
myLoader1.load(url1);
My buttons link to 116 which plays a frame and loads ^
in frame 226: removeChild(myLoader).
But if the user has looped back into home from another part in the movie clip then it would need to remove myLoader1 instead of myLoader.
I'm guessing there is some really dynamic way to solve the programatic nightmare i'm developing, but I'm really novice.
So what i need is an if statement for frame 226
That would do something:
if(myLoader <> null
removeChild(myLoader)
else(
removechild(myLoader1)
Anyone have a method for this?yes, you can use the same urlrequest but just change its url property:
// initialize, for example in frame 1. this is done once and never again:
var loader:Loader=new Loader();
var urlR:URLRequest=new URLRequest();
// then in frame 2, for example:
urlR.url="page1.swf";
loader.load(urlR);
// in frame 20, for example:
urlR.url="page2.swf";
loader.load(urlR);
// in frame 30, for example:
urlR.url="page3.swf";
loader.load(urlR);
//etc. if you're loading any swfs that play streams (sound or video), you'll want to add some code to this. -
Help with complex Acrobat forms
Hi Everyone,
Background: I worked with another developer and completed a form for one of our clients but I need to know if the below change requests are even possible and if so if anyone would like to help with finishing the form. I am definitely willing to pay for an experts services as long as this can be done in a timely manner.
What the form is - Our client wants a form that has text fields, drop down boxes and pages where images can be placed into the file and arrows drawn on it to point where the images are located on other images (some images are store layout maps). They would like to send this file out to their store managers, have them fill it in and then they would like the completed forms sent back so all of the information that was filled in (names, store names, addresses, square footage, etc) can be gathered into a database or excel file.
What is completed so far
- Cascading drop down boxes (user clicks on first drop down and whatever is selected changes the second drop down options, etc)
- Most of the text fields for information gathering including city, state, store manager etc
- Metric unit conversion boxes
- Header text fields (read only) are used on several of the pages and are a combination of choices made in the drop down boxes and text fields.
- Page footer info including page number
- The over all layout of the pages is set
Requested changes/additions
Major must have:
- Page Addition - There is a product page in the form (page 10) and the different stores will have a different number of these products to enter into the form so is there a way to add an ADD PAGE button on the page that when pressed will copy the product page to make a new product page? Now the product page has cascading drop down form fields on it so I would want to make sure the form fields are separate iterations of the form fields not just a duplicate of what was on the product page.
- Footer adjustments - If we can do the above of adding pages then is it possible to at that point adjust the footer to reflect the page number changes? The footer shows the current page number then the form name and date.
- Gather info - What is the best way to distribute these forms so that when returned completed the information can be gathered? I tried distributing via email which seems to work ok but the files might end up being too large for email so what is the best way to gather the completed info if say the files were ftp'd back?
Minor:
There are several minor change requests that I know are doable or that if not possible we can disregard. One that I am not sure about is if the color of the arrows in Acrobat can be changed from the default red?
At first I was assuming that the Clients that get the forms needed Acrobat Standard or Pro 8 or 9 because I thought that the only way to add images was to use the Touch-Up Tool under advanced tools and right click to Place images. However I am pretty sure that if Reader Rights is enabled that images can be copy pasted into the file too if this is incorrect please let me know.
If the above is not doable or if there is a better solution other than Acrobat forms to gather client information including allow the client to add images and place arrows then please let me know your thoughts.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated and again id like to commission this out to anyone who is up for the challenge.
Thanks in advance
JasonPerhaps a better question is does anyone know a good developer?

Need help with calculator project for an assignment...
Hi all, I please need help with my calculator project that I have to do for an assignment.
Here is the project's specifications that I need to do"
"""Create a console calculator applicaion that:
* Takes one command line argument: your name and surname. When the
program starts, display the date and time with a welcome message for the
user.
* Display all the available options to the user. Your calculator must include
the arithmetic operations as well as at least five scientific operations of the
Math class.
-Your program must also have the ability to round a number and
truncate it.
-When you multiply by 2, you should not use the '*' operator to perform the
operation.
-Your program must also be able to reverse the sign of a number.
* Include sufficient error checking in your program to ensure that the user
only enters valid input. Make use of the String; Character, and other
wrapper classes to help you.
* Your program must be able to do conversions between decimal, octal and
hex numbers.
* Make use of a menu. You should give the user the option to end the
program when entering a certain option.
* When the program exits, display a message for the user, stating the
current time, and calculate and display how long the user used your
program.
* Make use of helper classes where possible.
* Use the SDK to run your program."""
When the program starts, it asks the user for his/her name and surname. I got the program to ask the user again and again for his/her name and surname
when he/she doesn't insert anything or just press 'enter', but if the user enters a number for the name and surname part, the program continues.

What you could do is checking the input string for numbers. If it contains numbers, just reprompt for the Name.
AND you might want to ask yourself why the heck a calculator needs to know the users Name. -
Need some URGENT help with 3 DVD mastering issues PLEASE! :
Hi there,
Firstly, I am running DVD SP 3.0.2 on Mac OS 10.4.7 on a G5 Dual 2 GHz 3Gb Ram plenty of HD space...
I am creating a DVD with: An intro sequence, a main menu, 4 sub menus, and 4 sections with around 12 chapters each.
I am having some big problems, and a pretty stuck. I will lest them separately below, numbered. If you are able to help, please refer clearly to which number you are helping with. Any help is MUCH appreciated! Many thanks!!
1. Each of the 5 menus (1 main, 4 sub) have a background video, and a separate audio track. I added the background videos by simply dragging them to the assests panel, then from there onto the menu editor window. They are created in FCP and are properly encoded. However, when I click the motion button, or use the simulator, the videos do not show up. The music plays, but all i see is plain black.
What is going on?!?!?!
2. I am really struggling with rollover buttons. I have custom created buttons, and I wand them to have a soft red glow around them when hovered over. HOW ON EARTH DO I ACTUALLY DO THIS??
The buttons are in photoshop so can be exported with/without background/glow in any format.
3. Is it possible, once I have got the above rollover working, to have an image to the right hand side of my buttons which changes with the the button rollover. i.e. hover over button 1, see image 1. hover over button 2, image changes to image 2.
PLEASE PLEASE give any help you can, I have a deadline coming up and am quite stumped. Thanks again!!I am still having problems regarding issue Number 1. PLEASE ANYONE HELP?!
Sorry, I'm not sure about the motion menus. I avoid those whenever possible. But you might click on the menu in the storyline tab (whatever it's called -- the hierarchical view with the disc, tracks, slideshows, etc.) and look at the properties and see if there's anything you have to enable specifically for motion. And be sure the motion button is on on the main display/preview area, but it sounds like you already know how that works.
For your information, here is a screen grab of the menu I am trying to create:
http://www.redhavoc.co.uk/stuff/menu.jpg
I think it is obvious that when a button is hovered over, I want it to glow red, and the image to the right will change to match the respective button.
IS THIS GOING TO BE POSSIBLE????
Yes.
First, your menus have to be layered menus. Unfortunately, there's no way to convert non-layered menus to layered menus, so if you already have non-layered, you'll have to just delete them and create new layered menus. The button (and menu item) to create a layered menu should be right by the normal new-menu item.
Next, the graphical work is all in Photoshop.
Side tip: You may already know this, but I found it's best to use 640x480 for the Photoshop document. When I do text and leave it as a text object in the Photoshop file, it resizes poorly in DVDSP. So this ends up being another 720x480 vs. 640x480 square/rectangular pixel conversion thing. DVDSP plays in the 640x480 world, at least as far as the designer can see. So I keep my images at 640x480, and it doesn't have to resize, and everything looks right.
Moving on... Set up your basic background, the part that won't change (or will have other things covering it, like for your square image).
Then put in all the buttons and images you'll be using, each part in a separate layer. This could have fifteen buttons (you have five buttons, and there can be three versions for each -- inactive, selected, and activated versions) and five or six square images (you said one for each button, and you might want a blank default if, say, you want to add a "back" button on the menu and want some blank or default image for the square when they're on the "back" button).
Sometimes people don't bother with a separate "active" button state, but you usually want some visual feedback that they clicked the button. Also, I usually just build the default (unselected) button into the background; that's less hassle later on, and it will just draw the selected or activated buttons over that when the user is on that button.
Line up all your buttons and images. All the square images lined up perfectly on top of each other, all the buttons in the right places (so you'll have three buttons stacked on top of each other in each spot). Give each layer a short but quickly recognizable name, and line them up in a consistent order. (button1-default, button1-selected, button1-active, button1-squarepicture, then button2-default, ... etc.) Photoshop and DVDSP don't care, but it makes it easier for you later.
Note that earlier versions of DVDSP won't show Photoshop layer effects. (They handle layers, just not the effects, like inner glow, outer bezel, etc.) I don't remember when they changed this, but I think it was version 4.something. So if you're using that method to make your buttons glow, you may have to flatten each selected or active button layer, and you may even need to create a dummy blank layer underneath it first to give it something to flatten onto.
Save the file as a standard Photoshop file (.psd). Drag the file onto your DVDSP layered menu and set it as the background.
Now, in DVDSP, create all your buttons. Just drag boxes over/around the button pictures you have. Feel free to make them extra-big; users won't see the actual area you've selected, and bigger areas makes it easier for people to hit them if they're using a mouse on a computer to watch the DVD. You can point the buttons to their targets now if you want, and set the end jumps on the tracks if you want. (I tend to set the end jumps on the tracks so they automatically select the button for the next track.)
Now's the fun part, since it will actually hook everything up and should be easy if your naming layer order were consistent. Click on the layered menu (in that hierarchical view) and look at the properties window. (Sorry I can't remember the technical names for all these windows; I'm doing this all from memory. So feel free to ask more questions if you can't find what I'm talking about.) One of the properties tabs should have a grid of checkboxes with a list of your layers. Make sure the background is checked for all of the states. Then check the layers you want to show for each button state, as well as the corresponding square image to show for each.
Again, I'm doing this from memory, and I can't remember exactly how things are listed in that grid. But I remember it keeps your layers in the same order you put them in the Photoshop file and shows you those names, so it should make it easy to go down the list and check the right boxes.
And another side tip: You can update the Photoshop file, but once you've put it in DVDSP, if you change the layer order, it will screw up the check boxes you checked. It always shows you the layer names correctly, but it keeps the checkboxes in DVDSP simply assigned to the layer number, so the fifth layer will keep the same checkboxes even if you juggle them so some other layer is now the fifth layer. So if you do juggle the layers in Photoshop, go back and fix the checkbox list in DVDSP.
I put a sample Photoshop file based on yours in
http://dan.black.org/layered-menu-sample.psd
It's quick and dirty, but shows the layer layout, and you should be able to drop it on DVDSP to play with. (I also won't leave it there forever, maybe a few weeks, so anybody reading this in a month or more probably will get a 404 for that url.)
Again, doing this from memory, so feel free to ask if anything doesn't work or doesn't make sense.

PI File adapter has a processing option u2018Empty-Message Handlingu2019 to ignore or Write Empty Files. In case there is no data created after mapping on target side then this option determines whether to write an empty file or not. But there is a catch to this option when it comes to using it with File Content Conversion which is described in SAP Note u2018821267u2019. It states following:
I configure the receiver channel with File content conversion mode and I set the 'Empty Message Handling' option to ignore. Input payload to the receiver channel is generated out of mapping and it does not have any record sets. However, this payload has a root element. Why does file receiver create empty output file with zero byte size in the target directory? Example of such a payload generated from mapping is as follows:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ns1:test xmlns:ns1="http://abcd.com/ab"></ns1:test>
solution :
If the message payload is empty (i.e., zero bytes in size), then File adapter's empty message handling feature does NOT write files into the target directory. On the other hand, if the payload is a valid XML document (as shown in example) that is generated from mapping with just a root element in it, the File Adapter does not treat it as an empty message and accordingly it writes to the target directory. To achieve your objective of not writing files (that have just a single root element) into the target directory, following could be done:
Using a Java or ABAP Mapping in order to restrict the creation of node itself during mapping. (This cannot be achieved via Message Mapping)
Using standard adapter modules to do content conversion first and then write file.
can someone help with java mapping that can be used in this case?Hi,
You have not mentioned the version of PI you are working in. In case you are working with PI 7.1 or above then here is the java mapping code you need to add after message mapping in the same interface mapping
import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.InputStream;
import java.io.OutputStream;
import java.util.Map;
import javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilder;
import javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory;
import javax.xml.transform.Transformer;
import javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory;
import javax.xml.transform.dom.DOMSource;
import javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamResult;
import org.w3c.dom.Document;
import com.sap.aii.mapping.api.AbstractTransformation;
import com.sap.aii.mapping.api.StreamTransformationException;
import com.sap.aii.mapping.api.TransformationInput;
import com.sap.aii.mapping.api.TransformationOutput;
public class RemoveRootNode extends AbstractTransformation{
public void execute(InputStream in, OutputStream out)
throws StreamTransformationException {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
try
DocumentBuilderFactory factory=DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
DocumentBuilder builderel=factory.newDocumentBuilder();
/*input document in form of XML*/
Document docIn=builderel.parse(in);
/*document after parsing*/
Document docOut=builderel.newDocument();
TransformerFactory tf=TransformerFactory.newInstance();
Transformer transform=tf.newTransformer();
if(docIn.getDocumentElement().hasChildNodes())
docOut.appendChild(docOut.importNode(docIn.getDocumentElement(),true));
transform.transform(new DOMSource(docOut), new StreamResult(out));
else
out.write(null);
catch(Exception e)
public void setParameter(Map arg0) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
public static void main(String[] args) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
try{
RemoveRootNode genFormat=new RemoveRootNode();
FileInputStream in=new FileInputStream("C:\\apps\\sdn\\rootNode.xml");
FileOutputStream out=new FileOutputStream("C:\\apps\\sdn\\rootNode1.xml");
genFormat.execute(in,out);
catch(Exception e)
e.printStackTrace();
public void transform(TransformationInput arg0, TransformationOutput arg1)
throws StreamTransformationException {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
this.execute(arg0.getInputPayload().getInputStream(), arg1.getOutputPayload().getOutputStream());
In case you are working in PI 7.0 you can use this code
import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.InputStream;
import java.io.OutputStream;
import java.util.Map;
import javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilder;
import javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory;
import javax.xml.transform.Transformer;
import javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory;
import javax.xml.transform.dom.DOMSource;
import javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamResult;
import org.w3c.dom.Document;
import com.sap.aii.mapping.api.StreamTransformation;
import com.sap.aii.mapping.api.StreamTransformationException;
public class RemoveRootNode implements StreamTransformation{
public void execute(InputStream in, OutputStream out)
throws StreamTransformationException {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
try
DocumentBuilderFactory factory=DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
DocumentBuilder builderel=factory.newDocumentBuilder();
/*input document in form of XML*/
Document docIn=builderel.parse(in);
/*document after parsing*/
Document docOut=builderel.newDocument();
TransformerFactory tf=TransformerFactory.newInstance();
Transformer transform=tf.newTransformer();
if(docIn.getDocumentElement().hasChildNodes())
docOut.appendChild(docOut.importNode(docIn.getDocumentElement(),true));
transform.transform(new DOMSource(docOut), new StreamResult(out));
else
out.write(null);
catch(Exception e)
public void setParameter(Map arg0) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
public static void main(String[] args) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
try{
RemoveRootNode genFormat=new RemoveRootNode();
FileInputStream in=new FileInputStream("C:\\apps\\sdn\\rootNode.xml");
FileOutputStream out=new FileOutputStream("C:\\apps\\sdn\\rootNode1.xml");
genFormat.execute(in,out);
catch(Exception e)
e.printStackTrace();
The code for PI 7.0 should also work for PI 7.1 provided you use the right jar files for compilation, but vice-versa is not true.
Could you please let us know if this code was useful to you or not?
Regards
Anupam

In need of immediate help with FCP new user taking over colleagues position
Good Morning. I am in urgent need of some help with a specific final cut pro question. My coworker and I have been working on a video project for our employer, a university. He ran the editor (FCP) and I ran the logistics of setting things up, keeping the contacts and scheduling, etc.
He has left until late August and there are two major typos in his work which is posted to the web at the moment. I need to correct these typos and have less than a faint idea of how to do it.
First of all, what is the file's last three letters? (.doc, .mov, etc...)
Second, can I edit this as easily as I think I can? Just click in the text file along the bottom timeline and edit that way?
How do I export the movie as an mp4 file after i have edited it.
Anything else that would be deemed helpful is always appreciated!
I really appreciate the help. I was never trained on this program because I never needed to be. Unfortunately, as it turns out, I did.
Thanks for the help!You need to locate the Project file. Which will be somewhere in your colleague's User space.
In the Finder, press command and F to activate the Find function.
Make sure the following parameters are set:
Search *This Mac* and Contents
Kind is Documents
Type the project name.
The icon looks like this:
Double click it to launch Final Cut Pro with the project.
To locate the text overlay, click on the Timeline to make it active. Use the down arrow on your keyboard to jump from one cut to the next. The text overlay will look similar to this:
Double click on the Text clip. This will place it in the Viewer (the left "monitor").
Click the "Controls" tab above the Viewer and make your changes. Press Return.
Clicking anywhere in the Timeline once more will update it.
Make sure that no clips are selected and the Timeline is the active window.
Go to the menu bar: File > Export > Using QuickTime Conversion.
In the window that opens, make sure that Format is set to QuickTime Movie.
Click the Options button. Look at the top of the next window.
Does it say Compression Setting: H264? If it does, great.
If not, click the settings button and choose H264 from the *Compression Type* button.
At bottom left, drag the Quality slider to Best. Click OK.
This brings you back to the previous window.
Click on Size if you need to change something -there are a number of presets, but you can choose a custom size if you wish. Click OK.
That window is dismissed and returns you to the Save dialog.
Type a name and choose a destination for your file.
