How can I make Xml mapping a little easier

Hello,
I am using Xcelsius for a project that is constantly being deployed to different environments. When deploying to different environments I find myself constantly having to go back and do the following:
1. Change my  xml  map in my excel document
2. Re-import the excel file into xcelsius
3. Re-publish my swf.
My main question is whether I need to do all this when my xml doc has changed physical locations. Is there a way I can make this a little more dynamic?
Thx

An idea is to put the address/path into a cell. 
The cell will have several objects accessing it:
1) The <Connection> will "know" which file to load from where (rather than a hard coded path)
2) A <text input> object via which you may edit the cell and thereby re-defining the data source location for the connection
One little caveat: whenever you load the swf file the "cell" will hold the pre-determined/hard-coded path value and you will have to edit it before you can get going.  You may try circumvent that by using a <Scenario> button and thereby storing the path name.  As long as you don't re-export your xlf the scenario values will be there for you.  That will save you some typing.  At the end of all that, you will be able to control the source location from within the dashboard albeit not entirely "automatic", but definitely without "rebuilding" the swf file.
Hope this helps

  • How can I make a palm tree sway?

    How can I make a palm tree sway?
    I have a palm tree that is a tiff file with alpha. I would like the tree trunk to bend a little and a few of the branches to sway as though it’s gently moving in the wind.
    What would be the easiest way to make that happen?
    Should I save the trunk and a few leaves as separate elements, and then animate them in motion.
    Or is there any way to turn my palm tree into a shape in motion, add edit points and key frames to animate it?
    Any advice would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    Down and dirty: highlight the tree's layer, move the anchor point to the base of the tree, add an Oscillate Behaviour to its Shear X axis. Adjust the Amplitude to 5, Speed to 7 or so, depending on how breezy the day is.

    How can I make a weekly 'to do' list? I don't want it associated with a particular day or or time, just the week, preferably with the ability to check off or remove when done.

    Thank you for the excellent reference Peddi. I had played with the OAMessageChoiceBean component yesterday, but I was able to tell from your instructions that "Picklist Display Attribute" and "Picklist Value Attribute" really are not for binding to the database EO. That was the key piece of information that had me confused.
    In addition to adding the messageChoice component to the page, I needed to write some code to synchronize the picklist value with the corresponding code value, which I placed in am OAFormValueBean (hidden form field) which I could then bind to my application's database EO in the controller, running in the processFormRequest procedure:
    /** Synchronize the catalog code with the selected catalog name */
    protected void syncCatalogValues(OAPageContext pageContext,
    OAWebBean webBean, MyApplicationAMImpl am) {   
    OAMessageChoiceBean mcb =
    (OAMessageChoiceBean) webBean.findChildRecursive("CatalogName");
    OAFormValueBean cc =
    (OAFormValueBean) webBean.findChildRecursive("CatalogCode");
    String catalogDescription = mcb.getText(pageContext);
    if (catalogDescription != null) {
    String catalogCode = am.getCatalogCode(catalogDescription);
    cc.setValue(pageContext, catalogCode);
    Along with a little code to get the catalogCode value from the LOVVO, that's all it took.
    Thanks again. This was a great help.

    Here are some Apple help sheets about backing up your files:

    iWeb is not going away, but I would be skeptical about how much longer Apple keeps it around.

  • How can I make my guardians buy me an iPhone 5?

    Hey, Apple forum people.
    Maybe you guys can help me with my problem/question today?
    Well, I am thirteen years of age, and I'm very addicted to Apple products (I currently have a iPod touch and iPad)
    Now, my birthday is in November, and I will be 14 years old.
    Well, a few weeks ago, I went to the Apple store, locally.
    I just fell in love. With every worker with their blue t-shirt on with the Apple logo.
    I played with the iPad mini, iMac, Macbook Air, and the iPhone of course.
    I just literally fell in love with touching all of the devices. I didn't get around to the iPod touch or Macbook Pro.
    And, I do want the iPhone 5. Because mostly all teens are getting iPhones.
    One thing about the iPhone, that is not letting me get it, is because my sister says I don't talk on the phone that much, but neither does she!
    I currently don't have any phone, except a Straight Talk phone which I never use.
    I mostly my iMessage and Pinger to text my friends.
    So, I keep asking them for an iPhone.
    I don't even care if I get the iPhone 4.
    I just want one! But I mostly want something with Siri, and that narrows out the iPhone 4.
    But lately, I've being lying a lot.
    They mostly forgive me though.
    So, is there any tips I could get to try to make them give me the iPhone 5?
    It would be nice to go into school right after my birthday with the iPhone 5 in my back pocket.
    Thanks for any advice that you have!

    "How can I make my guardians"
    Wow, that just sets the tone of this post. Make them? Are you serious? How about getting off your whiny little arse and getting a job, perhaps mowing lawns, washing cars, cleaning gutters, etc. then use that money to but it yourself, or show them how hard thou worked and perhaps they will help chip in for it
    Yeah, I'm sure if I had some snot nosed lying kid I had to take care of, I would want to rush right out and buy him an iPhone 5.

  • How can you make a field "key" in transformation rules - master data maping

    Hello ,
    We are in the process of creating some custom master data datasources for HR module. In this we are trying to extract fields from particular infotypes. In my situation we are pulling fields from only one table PA0032.  From this table I am making a view where in I am selecting all the key fields from that table and including 2 other fields (Buliding name and room number). Now I create an ATTR master datasource with this view and check in RSA3 I see the data very good. All this is time dependent data like for Employee he might be in buliding AB room 32 first and then get moved to Buliding CD room 34. So we need to keep a history of the records. Now I replicate the DS in BW system, and create custom infoobjects for building and room no. I create an infoobject called Zworkaddress and dates I use 0VALIDTO and 0VALIDFROm. I make both the dates, bulding and room as attributes of ZWORKADDRESS. Now I map all the fields from datasource to the infoobject but field ZWORKADDRESS is on,y coming up as KEy field not the dates and subtype. Thats why I am getting only the last record not all the records of the emplyee work address. 
    We are using BI 7.0, so my question is how can I make the other fields as key's so that I can have all records.
    Thanks in advance.

    Kiran,
       If you make any one time dependant system will create Dateto and date from internally. we don't need to add those.
    1. for Employee, add Company Address as attribute. make this as Time Dependant. keep Subtype as Compounding key to your employer. then you will get Employee, Sub Type and Dates as key fields. you can have complete history of Employee Address change.
    Hope this helps.

  • How can I make my form be a certified document?

    Hi all,
    In my form, I want to export xml by using the script "Reference_Syntax.exportData( [ STRING param1 [, BOOLEAN param2 ] ])",
    for example, xfa.host.exportData("filename.xml",0).
    However, it is invalid. 
    It says that "This parameter1 is only valid on certified documents where the user has sufficient
    permissions".
    But how can I make my form be a certified document, or how can I get the sufficient permissions?
    Script "xfa.host.exportData("",0)" can be valid, but what I need is specifying the location and file name so that users can export xml just by clicking the button.
    Can I achieve this function?
    Waiting for your reply, thanks a lot!
    Ellie

    Please take a look at this discussion. Also, are your end users using Adobe Reader? If so, your document must be Reader Enabled withed LiveCycle RE to use the import / export xml functionality.

    Hello Terryfrank,
    Congratulations on your new laptop!  Also, thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with transferring your iTunes Library to your new computer. 
    I notice that you are coming from the article “iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer,” and it sounds like you might have used the Home Sharing method outlined in that article. 
    With Home Sharing, you can stream content from another computer, and it sounds like that is how you have it currently set up.  The last step is to import the content to your new computer.  Use these steps on the new computer (while the old computer is on) to import the music to your new computer’s hard drive:
    Once your new computer sees the Home Share from your old computer, click that Home Share on the left side of iTunes on your new computer.
    Select the content in the Home Share that you want to transfer to your iTunes library on your new computer, or choose Edit > Select All to choose all of it. Then, click the Import button in the bottom-right corner of iTunes.
    Wait for the content to finish transferring.
    Additionally, if you want to transfer your playlists, you can export them from the old computer to the new computer:
    Transferring playlists
    If you want not only your content but also your playlists to exist on your new computer, you will want to transfer a copy of all your playlists from your old computer. To do this, choose File > Library > Export Library on your old computer. Save the XML file that is created to your desktop.
    Send the playlists file to yourself as an e-mail attachment, use an external drive, or use file sharing to move the playlists file to your new computer. Once the file is on your new computer, open iTunes and choose File > Library > Import Playlist. The import process will remove any items from the playlists that you didn't share via Home Sharing.

  • How can i make a pl/sql function for BLOB datatype

    hi..anyone here who is very familiar about BLOB datatype. i have a COLUMN_ID, COLUMN_A in a certain TABLE_1. COLUMN_A is blob datatype that contains almost 250,000rows
    SQL>select column_A from table_1 where column_id=1234567
    column_A
    00000001000000010000000606D4E833074B69EC06D4E91F074CO18406D50C58074C031E
    how can i make a user-defined function to compute and convert this blob datatype into decimal length value. this hex value are points in the map.. the function must contain
    1.get the length of a blob then
    2.convert blob to variable hexadecimal characters by parsing it into 8
    3.to_number function or other function used to convert haxadecimal characters to decimal numbers
    4.phythagorean formula to compute length between two points. this is the formula i think LENGTH =
    SQRT(power((coordinate_x-prev_coordinate_x),2)+power((coordinate_y-prev_y),2));
    after this when i type this
    SQL>select user_function(column_A) from table_1 where column_id=1234567
    user_functions(column_A)
    --output length will be in decimal value already
    the function will goes like this
    step1 is to get the blob length
    00000001000000010000000606D4E833074B69EC06D4E91F074CO18406D50C58074C031E
    step2 is parsing of data by eights
    00000001 =>1
    00000001 =>1
    00000006 =>6 (number of coordinates)
    06D4E833 => X1
    074B69EC => Y1
    06D4E91F => X2
    074CO184 => Y2
    06D50C58 => X3
    074C031E => Y3
    step3 to_number function used to convert hex char to decimal
    step4 compute by phytagorean (NOTE ! when computing length the third parsed eight will tell how many coordinates are there..the number of coordinates is ranging from 2 up to E..above example shows 6 coordinates so it means
    LENGTH1 =
    SQRT(power((X2-X1),2)+power((Y2-Y1),2));
    LENGTH2=
    SQRT(power((X3-X2),2)+power((Y3-Y2),2));
    TOTAL LENGTH=LENGTH1 + LENGTH2
    thanks

    its my first time to use that.There's got to be a first tiem for anything. Be brave.
    btw if theres more easy suggestion pls feel free..Well of course the easiest solution would be if the calling program passed in the parameters as separate arguments instead of glomming them together in a string that has to be parsed. This sort of kluj really ought not to have survived into C21.

    You need to be a little clearer in what you're asking.
    You can't make any web site in SQL Server - it's a database engine, not a website tool.
    What you can do is create web sites that pull data from a back-end SQL Server, but the SQL server doesn't handle the client connection at all (that's handled by a web server such as Apache, IIS, or similar).
    There are many ways to build such a site including .NET, PHP, Perl and more (although I don't know all the options for Windows servers because they're not as common outside of corporate/enterprise networks).
    In either case, given your choice of development language (HTML, plus one of the PHP/Perl/.NET/etc. options), plus your database (SQL Server) plus your web server (IIS, Apache, etc.) you can make any web site you like (or, at least, you're capable of developing).
    If you want to opimize that web site for iPhones then there are many references on how mobile browsing differs from the desktop. I'd recommend this book as a reference (and, yes, I understand the irony of linking to a paperback book for web design guidance ). Googling mobile web design (or iPhone web design) might yield more results.

    That is a bug with blocklisting plugins that has been fixed.<br />
    You can correct this issue by forcing the file blocklist.xml to update or wait until Firefox updates the file.<br />
