How do I import a SPSS .sav file into SQL 2008 r2 using SSIS

Hi there,
Like the title says, I'm trying to import an SPSS .SAV file into an SQL 2008 R2 database using SSIS.
I've tried a few things, but i cant seem to get it to work properly. I'm hoping there's someone out there who could point me in the right direction.
I've tried the following:
Tried the IBM step by step manual (http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/spssdc/v6r0m1/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.spss.ddl%2Faccess_odbc.htm)
--Couldnt folow this guide because I didnt have the SPSS MR DM-2 OLE DB Provider.
Tried installing the provider using (http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/spssdc/v7r0m0/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.spss.ddl%2Fdts_troubleshooting.htm) as a guide to download the provider listed (www-03.ibm.com/software/products/nl/spss-data-model).
--This didnt work, I still could not see the provider listed after install and rebooting the server.
Tried to get the file as CSV (Company couldnt provide it in CSV or another format)
The server is a Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise 64-bit, has the Data Collection Data Model installed on it with SQL Server 2008 R2.
If anyone could point me in the right direction they could make my day!
Thanks in advance!
Ronny

How do I import Outlook Express message files into Outlook 2013 without using LiveMail

I bought a new Windows 7 computer and have copied the Outlook Express .dbx files from the old XP computer onto the new one. Outlook 2013 's import facility does not have a .dbx option. I do not want to use Windows Live for anything. How do
I import my Outlook Express mail files into Outlook 2013 ?

Hi,
It isn't only to Outlook 2013, other versions of Outlook cannot access the .dbx files directly.
In the situation, Windows Live Mail is needed to transfer the mail data to Outlook.

How do I import Map Info Tab files into Spatial for a map of europe?

How do I import Map Info Tab files into Spatial for a map of europe via FME and have oracle spatial draw the map without problems?
So far I've got to the stage where I can import the data, spatially index it (in oracle 9i) and get my SVG (scaleable vector graphics) application to view the map.
The problem is that countries that have more than one polygon (more than one row in the database) do not draw properly.
When I view the Map Info tab file in the FME viewer I can see that the data is fine, but I can also see that some of the polygons used to draw a country are donugts and some aren't.
This seems to cause a problem when I import the data into oracle spatial as I don't know if a row in the table needs to be inserted as an independent SDO_GEOMETRY or if it should form part of a larger SDO_GEOMETRY (as in 2 or more rows make up the polygon shape for a country).
I have a feeling that I'm not using FME correctly, because at the moment I have to import the tab file into Oracle then re-insert the data into a spatially formatted table (one with a spatial index) - I get the impression that FME should do that for me but as I'm new to this I don't really know.
Any Help welcome :|
Tim

Tim,
MapInfo has a free utility called EasyLoader that allows you to upload a table directly to Oracle. EasyLoader creates the geometries and spatial index. You can download it free from http://www.mapinfo.com/products/download.cfm?ProductID=1044

How do I import iPhoto raw (NEF) files into Lightroom 3.6?

how do I import iPhoto raw (NEF) files into Lightroom 3.6?

You will need an application that can convert those pcd files into one that iPhoto supports, mainly jpeg. GraphicConverter is supposed to support many, many formats and might just support the pcd. If so you could use it to convert them to jpegs.
There's an automator workflow that I've put into an application that will take many image files and convert them into jpeg with the RGB color profile. I've never tried it on the Kodak files but you can give it a try. It's called +*Convert to JPG and Embed sRGB profile*+ and can be downloaded from Toad's Cellar. Make a copy of a couple of files and see if it will work. If so then you can batch convert folders of the files at once by dragging them onto the application.
I believe GC can do batch conversions but am not familiar with the application.

How can I import all my gmail contacts into iPad? I use iPad mini and the solutions available on the web are not compatible.

Hello and thanks for the answer.
I meant by "not compatible" that all the solutions that I found on the web did not work, especially the "Microsoft exchange" one.
Fortunately I found on the comments of the first website you mentioned the right answer for me, which I copy below:
Tap Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Add Account > Other > Add CardDav Account.
Enter the following information in the fields:
Server: google.com
User Name: Enter your full Google email address
Password: Your Google account password
Select Next at the top of the screen to complete the setup.
After you have completed the setup, open the Contacts app on your device. Syncing should begin automatically.
Additional Information
Note: Make sure that SSL is enabled (under Advanced settings), and that the port is 443.
If you are using application based special password go to https://accounts.google.com/Se... and instead of your password put that special code and u r done.

How do I import a Premiere Pro file into After Effects

So I'm an editor, I cut trailers and TV spots. I enjoy making my title cards on After Effects because it gives me a lot of options but I'm having difficulty. How do I import / edit a Premiere Pro file into After Effects? I imported the project file but the whole thing was a mess and nothing made sense. Can anyone explain this process to me?
By the way I used CS5.5 versions of the software.

It actually works better if you go the other way... link an AE comp into your Premiere project.
Create and link to After Effects compositions with Dynamic Link

Import Oracle DataBase dump file Into Sql Server With out connection oracle using c# code.

Hi All,
I would like to ask how can imports my dump oracle database file data and struct into sql server 2005
with out make connection oracle.
best regards.
Hakim.

Hi Hakim.
Based on your title, what I understood there is a issue regarding transfer oracle db dump to sql database using C# code. Am I right? If so, I am afraid there is no build-in method which meet your requrements in .NET framework. You must provides
OraDump Export API to allow developers integrate corresponding capabilities into their applications. These capabilities are about export data from Oracle dump files into popular databases like Microsoft SQL server. Every developer
having OraDump Export API can write just few lines of code on C# or Visual Basic to implement the appropriate export process.
I am search a third-party link, but it's a paid service.

Import a CSV text file into SQL Server using DTS

Hi,
This may be a silly question but im gonna ask it anyway!
What i need to do is execute a DTS package from a CF page to read a text file and import its content to a table. I have 100's of txt files with 10,000's of rows.
The reason i think this is a silly question is because when setting the DTS package in SQL Ent, you have to specify the file name of the file you wish to import data from, therefore, its possible that you cannot change the file name. Ive done lots of research and not found one example that will allow me to do dynamically change the file name making the DTS pick up a different file. The only code ive found is as below, that executes the DTS and imports the data obtained from the file name that was set when the DTS package was created.
<cfobject
type="COM" name="objDTS" class="DTS.Package" action="CREATE">
<CFSET
r = objDTS.LoadfromSQLServer("[SERVERNAME]","[PASSWORD]","",0,"","","","[DTSPACKAGE]","")>
<cfset
p = objDTS.Execute()>
I found the following suggestion in a forum somewhere, but ive not had much luck with it
<cfset
objDTS.GlobalVariables.Item("filename").Value = "[statsFileName]">
I know an alternative to this is to read the file using CFfile or using Java and insert one by one, i dont dont like that method as it could cause performance issues with my server.
Hope someone can help me out.
regards
d

Questions:
1. What version of SQL Server are you using?
2. Are you required to use a specific DTS package or do you simply need to import data from a file to a table? You might also consider using the bcp utility or, if you are using 2005 or newer, integration services.
3. Is the uploading of files and the import of data a manual process or is it automated? Is there a user uploading one file at a time to your server or do you receive files in batches. Can you describe the work flow?
You might try the following if you are required to use DTS:
1. Upload your text file with CFFILE, putting in the directory expected by your DTS package.
2. Rename the file to the name required by your DTS package
3. Use CFEXECUTE to run the DTS package by calling dtsrun at the command line.

How can I import an existing csv. file into Outlook on a Mac with OS10.7

Tried to import a csv. file on my Mac (OS 10.7.2) into Microsoft Outlook 2011 (for Mac) on the same computer, ended up with a useless Excel page - it opened the csv file in Excel with only a few contacts and uselessly formatted, at that!. Also, tried to save the csv file as a text file, then importing it into Word 2011 and Excel, with the same results. Anyone able to help? Would like to have the contained address/contact info look concise and neat, without duplicates or garbled/missing information.

How to Best Import QuarkXpress 8.0 Files into InDesign CS5

Folks,
Searched the forum, but I'm only finding info on older versions of Quark and InDesign.
I've got a ton of end user documents in QuarkXpress 8.0 that I need to import into InDesign CS5. (These are installation and operation manuals for data and telephony modems with lots of illustrations and diagrams in them.) I just downloaded the trial version of InDesign CS5 and could use some help.
The import procedure (for the older software) looked to be quite cumbersome. I'm hoping that InDesign CS5 is more capable and efficient at importing QuarkXpress files. I also read about Q2ID by Markzware. Does that product work with InDesign CS5, or is it even necessary with InDesign CS5?
Any advice and guidance will be appreciated. Got to get started soon!
Thanks for your help!

Hello Joel,
Thanks for your comments. I've done enough conversions in the past 25+ years as a tech writer to know that I will be faced with some clean-up efforts after the import.
My Quark template is pretty simple... one big text box on the right-hand side of each page (landscape), leaving the left-hand side of each page for my illustrations and graphics to be placed.
I think my biggest conversion problem is going to involve these graphics. Many of them have text callouts (in text boxes) with arrows (made with Quark graphics) pointing to the proper spot on the illustration or graphic. I'm wondering how well those will all convert and import. I do have them all grouped in Quark. By that I mean that one graphic and all of its associated text callouts and arrows are grouped.
I guess I'll find out!
