How do I get Discoverer 3.1 to read data from Paradox 8.0?

The on-line manual for version 3.1.36.06 of the Discoverer Admin
product suggests that you can read in data from non-Oracle
databases. The following steps are from the on-line manual
instructions about creating a new business area:
1. From the File menu, choose New.
2. In the Load Wizard, choose Create a new business area.
3. Select where you want to load your data from:
Select On-line dictionary to load your data from the
Oracle database where the current EUL resides.
Select Gateway to load your data from a non-Oracle data
source.
4. Click Next
I am trying to read data from Paradox Version 8.00.302.
Has anyone had success in this area? Can you suggest any web
sites or books? How do I set up a gateway?
Thank you.

There's a newly opened forum on the Oracle Transparent Gateways
product family. The folks over there probably have more
experience answering this sort of question and are likely a lot
more knowledgable about what you need. I'd recommed you ask
your question over there.

  • How to pre-allocate a ByteBuffer object to read data from a Socket

    Hi,
    So far every example on ByteBuffer allocation has shown something like this
    ByteBuffer buffer=ByteBuffer.allocate(1024);
    Im stuck because i dont know how much data will arrive on the socket. Is there anyway I can find out how much data is present on a socket before allocating the ByteBuffer? And if not, what can i do to ensure that I dont lose any of the data that is present on the socket and cant be read because the buffers limit may be too small.
    Thanks,
    Parth

    Hi,
    Bytebuffer is just buffer so make it big enough to handle traffic.. How big it must be depends on your applicaiotn and trasfered data amount..
    Following code shows an example which uses byte array as buffer... Following code is 1.2.x and above compatible using byte array instead ByteBuffer..
    Vector mainbuffer = new Vector(10,1);
    byte [] tempbuffer=new byte[5000]; // 5Kb buffer
    // STKInBufStr is bufferedinputstream to read data till end of stream ..
    // readcount show amount of data readed.. which means data amount in buffer. Data is written to buffer from start point -0,- 5000 is max read aomunt.
    // once read 5000 byte then it will return to while loop and create a temporary string and add it to manibuffer and menawhile coming data is not lost.. this loop will catch all incoming dta and buffer in mainfbuffer vector Roughly speaking bigger the buffer better te performance. Remeber code will wait to read 5000 byte of data to return to while loop. 5000 only means max amount of data it can handle in every read attempt.. if just read 2 byte it will return this 2 byte to loop
    while ( (readcount=STKInBufStr.read(tempbuffer,0,5000)) !=-1)
    String tmp = new String(readbuffer).substring(0,readcount);
    manibuffer.add(tmp);
    This loop will catch all incoming data and add to mainbuffer vector..

  • Using XML for Live Data- How do you get the XML file to pull data from another xls file?

    Post Author: joseph_atkinson
    CA Forum: Xcelsius and Live Office
    I was wondering you can help me.
    I am currently receiving an *.xls reports on a daily basis (same report, same format, different data). I have put this report into Crystal Xcelcius Designer 4.5 Professional version and created the dashboard I want.
    I am aware of the xml mapping functionality where I can map from the *.swf straight to a database. However, is it possible to map to an xls file that will change on a daily basis? (obviously I can you the refresh button in Designer, but I need to automate this process).
    Your help really would be appreciated.

    In Firefox, I'm seeing a bad icon for your zip files. I can
    download it,
    but it looks like something might be amiss with your zip
    files
    themselves.

  • How do I get my ipod to play a playlist from reverse order? (Start with recently added song instead of first added)

    How do I get my ipod to play a playlist from reverse order? (Start with recently added song instead of first added)
    So I'm adding new songs to a very old playlist? Is there anyway that when I add them, they automatically go to top of playlist? How about getting one song to the top of a playlist.  That drag to arrange function is very annoying because it is slow and the playlist does not scroll up very well on a PC.

    Make a new playlist by pressing the little plus button at the very lower left corner of iTunes. An new playlist will appear in the Source pane called "untitled playlist". While the name is highlighted, you can change it to whatever you want. Drag all of the tracks from all the albums that comprise a single book to that playlist. Sync that playlist to your iPod.

  • How do I get my wife's photos and video from her iCloud to my iPad?

    How do I get my wife's photos and video from her iCloud to my iPad. She no longer has an iDevice and I want to retrieve some really sentimental photos and videos of my grandson. I've logged on to her iCloud account on my iPad, but don't know what to do next.
    Thanks
    Tony

    Her camera roll photos and videos would be included in her backup.  Restoring her backup to the iPad should recover them.
    Start by creating a current backup of your iPad that you can restore your data from later.  It's faster if you do this on your computer using iTunes; if you can't, create a backup in your iCloud account.  If you can back up to your computer, do this by connecting the iPad to your computer, opening iTunes and going to File>Devices>Back Up.  Then go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases.
    Then erase the iPad and restore her iCloud backup as explained here: https://support.apple.com/kb/ph12521.  When it's done, import the recovered photos and videos to your computer as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.
    Then erase the iPad again and restore the backup you made earlier, either from iTunes or from iCloud depending on where you backed it up.
    If you want the photos back on the iPad, put them in a folder and sync them to your iPad by selecting the folder on the Photos tab of your iTunes sync settings and syncing.  If you want to videos back on your iPad, import them to your iTunes library (File>Add to Library), then sync them to your iPad from the Movies tab of your iTunes sync settings.  You will then find them in the Home Movies section of the Videos app on your iPad.  Just so you are aware, photos that you sync to your iPad can only be removed later by syncing them off your iPad (by deselecting the folder on the Photos tab and syncing again).  They can't be deleted on the iPad itself.

    How can I get rid of photos that were downloaded from my computer?  I need to free up space on my iPad

    Assuming that you synced the photos from iTunes - or whatever downloaded means - you must use iTunes again in order to remove the songs from the iPad. You have to uncheck the albums in the photos folder that you sync from in the Photos tab of iTunes and follow that with a sync.
