How do I import binary data files (with header info) into DIAdem?

We have lots of data acquired by nCode datagate. Files are binary data with header info. How do I import this into DIAdem? Typical (short) file attached. Also of interest, can I stream data from Sony PC208/SIR1000 recorders?

I have successfully imported your file into DIAdem using the nCode file filter included with DIAdem. You might have to make that file filter known to DIAdem by following these steps (this assumes you have version 8 of DIAdem):
1. Go to the 'Window' menu in DIAdem and select 'Close all'
2. Go to the 'Settings' menu and select 'GPI-DLL Registration'
3. Click the 'Add' button in the window and select the 'GfSnCode' DLL in the 'DIAdem/AddInfo' directory
4. The program will prompt you to restart.
5. After you have restarted DIAdem, go to the DATA icon, select 'File - Open' from the DATA menu and in the dialog that appears, choose 'nSoft Data File Format' in the 'Files of type:' field.
6. Select your data file and load
That's it.
With regards to your Sony reco
rder data, I would need to get my hands on an actual data file to try it out. In general, DIAdem can import ANY binary file format by creating a header in the 'File - Import via header' section in DATA. If you have lots of data files from the SONY recorder, a DLL can be created for that specific file format with the free DLL toolkit included with DIAdem.
Leave me a message here if you have any additional questions.

How do I import a pdf file with layers into Motion 5?

In earlier version of Motion, you could import a pdf file with all layers or even select layers you wanted to import. You did this by dragging the pdf file into the project and holding it until a popup appeard providing you choices for how you wanted to complete the import. In Motion 5.0.1 however, no such popup appears and it imports the file as a flat image file. Any ideas how to change this pelase?
Thanks
Greg

Thanks Ben & Praveen. In FCP7 It was possible to import PDF files and as you did the import, make choices regarding layers you wished to import. FCPX appears to import PDFs but only as flattened files. I'll try keeping the file in PSD format and importing as you recommend.

How do I use old data files with a new installation in Oracle 9i

I am in an unenviable position, with an unsupported database.
We are running Oracle 9i on Windows XP. We are upgrading soon to Oracle 11g on a newer platform, but need to get our development environment working first.
We lost a system that was running our development database without having a database export. The C drive was placed into a new system as the D drive.
I have loaded Oracle 9i on the C drive, but I have been unable to determine how to point it to the existing data files on the D drive. My search skills may be the limiting factor here...
We cannot simply load the drive as C, since the hardware is different.
What are the steps to point the new database software at the data files on the D drive? Or, how do I copy the old data files into the new Oracle Home and have them recognized properly?
Thanks for any advice.

Are you stating that you don't know how to use COPY command?
Can you recreate same directory structure on new C drive as exist on old C drive?
Can you then drag & drop copies of the files?

Opening a binary data file with a local java application from a weblink...

I don't know if this is the right forum for my query, but I would like to be able to click on a data file from a download link on a webpage and be able to have the file "open" into the java application that processes the particular file (as opposed to selecting the "save to disk" option or having the browser display a bunch of funky characters). If the application is not already running, have an instance start up and process the data file and display the information. What steps would I need to take to get this to happen? The application is executed in a windows environment through executing a .bat file and not an executable .jar file. Any thoughts? TIA!

This is entirely a matter of configuring the Windows file associations so that files with that extension are started using your designated process. Depending on the particulars you may be able to establish the association from the context (right-click) menu, or you may need to use Folder Options rom the Control Panel.
In any case, this is a not a Java question, but Windows; if further help is needed you should go to a Windows help site.

Importing a text file with variable values into web reporting

Hello,
I'm looking for a possibility to import values from a text file into a variable selection in Web reporting.
With BEx reporting in Excel this is possible, by clicking on the multiple selection button in the variable popup screen, and subsequently selecting the "Import from Text file" button.
However, this function seems not to be available for web-reporting...
It would be great if someone could help me out with this!
Thanks & regards,
Arvid

Hi,
we could resolve this issue, so i thought it may also be helpful for others:
In our example we used a file with numbers for materials. This file is stored somewhere in a directory, to which SAP BI must have authorization to read.

How can I create a RAWpic-file with header(cluster of 8elements) and 2D Array?

I have created a cluster with 8 "I32"elements (Header). I also got picture information into a 2D array (i converted information from a ROI into a 2Darray("Image pixels(I16)")
Now I want to create a RAW picture file (first the header information followed by the picture information.)
I think I have to convert the Header-cluster into an array with "cluster to array". But even this is not possible(Info:"you cannot combine 2 different clusters"). Then I have to combine the 2 arrays with "insert into array"??? But the header array would be a 1Darray if the "cluster to array conversation" works and the picture information is 2D.
Can anyone help me please?

I think this is actually pretty straightforward, barring any byte-order issues. Attached is an image that demonstrates what I think jotthape wants to do.
The key is to let multiple Write File nodes do the work for you. There's no need to combine all the data into a single structure for the write, and avoiding that makes things easier in this case, because you don't have to worry about some of the data being I32 and the rest being I16.
Give this a shot,
John
P.S. It does seem likely that you will run into byte-order problems if you want to read your custom RAW file in using some other piece of Windows software. You can check the forum and the NI site for info on byte order, then ask a new question if you're still having a problem.

How to create an UTF8 data file with max length fields

We have a legacy application which allows for a transparent text field a maximum length of 30 Bytes.
The DB-Length of the field is 40 Chars.
In old NUC days it was so simple:
TYPES: BEGIN OF t_items,
hwmc(30) TYPE C,
A move, that was it.
Now we have migrated to unicode, use UTF8 for the external data and are puzzeling over how to create an output field with a fixed length of 30 Bytes.
Has somebody an elegant idea?

wyfwong, >> Does the schema which stores a large BLOB column has to create a large tablespace in order to store the column value or the database automatically enlarge the tablespace when a large BLOB column is loaded into the table? <<
The answer to this question would depend on how you defined the tablespace adn datafiles used to store the tablespace objects to begin with: raw partitions verse files, autoextend on or off, etc....
It would seem to me to be foolish not to predefine the tablespace at least large enough to hold the tables and indexes based on their expected near_term data loads. That is, if you know the initial load of data will be 60G then the tablespace should be larger than 60G to start with.

Geting an error trying to import a data file into OWB repository

Hi,
We're using OWB 11.1.0.7.0
I'm trying to import a new data file and I'm getting an error.
When I go to The Project/Files/ I right click on the module I want to add the files to,
I get a 'Wizard' titled 'Welcome to the Import Metadata Wizard'.
I click next.
I get the 'Filter Information' screen that asks if I want to select 'All Data Files' or a specific file.
I pick 'All Data Files' and click 'next'.
I get the 'Object Selection' screen that has a left and right panel. The left side is titled 'Available' and the right side is titled Selected.
The 'Available' panel had the directory in Linux (/etl/datafeeds/dev) where our data files are stored with a plus sign next to it.
When I click the plus sign, I get an error message that says:
API2836: Directory
/etl/datafeeds/dev does not exist.Has anyone seen this? What is the work around? Is it a bug? How do I import a data file into OWB if this isn't the way to do it?
Thanks,

Hi, is there any obligation to use import wizard?
can you use right click and import view/table?

UNICODE data files with SQLLDR

how can i load UNICODE data files with SQLLDR.
my Oracle instance is on UNIX with NLS_CHARACTERSET WE8ISO8859P1.
I have .dat files extracted from SQL Server using bcp utility with -w option.
When i use -c option i'm not getting the european characters correctly like the a and e with 2 dots on top....
when i load UNICODE (-w) file with CHARACTERSET UTF8 in my control file, it doesnt go thru. Any solution for this ? Thanks !

I just created a unicode textfile on windows with some westeuropean characters and imported it into we8iso8859p1 database on linux using controlfile parameter CHARACTERSET UTF16.
They got all properly converted.
As Justin mentioned, unicode on windows means generally UTF16 Little Endian.

Import an FLV file from Adobe Connect into Premiere Elements 12?

The Adobe Connect support staff recommended that we use Adobe Premiere Elements to edit the FLV file that we exported out of their software. We purchased Adobe Premiere Elements 12 based on that advice. Now we see that FLV files are not on the list of supported import files.
How can I import an FLV file from Adobe Connect into Adobe Premiere Elements 12 for editing?

Welcome to the forum.
Over the years, I have used Moyea's Flash Importer plug-in for PrPro, and it has worked perfectly. With about PrPro CS 4, IIRC, Adobe did add an FLV Importer, so Moyea began to suspend development of that plug-in. Then, with the release of the CC version of PrPro, they dropped FLV completely.
Now, Moyea does have other programs, but I do not know if any of them are plug-ins for PrE. However, many of their programs can create, edit and output FLV.
There is also a (free, if memory serves) FLV converter, FLV to AVI, which I used to convert FLV files, before I discovered the Moyea plug-in for my PrPro.
I would look into Moyea, to see if there is anything, that will work as a plug-in to PrE, http://www.video-to-flash.com/products/, and if not, explore a program, such as FLV to AVI: http://www.pazera-software.com/products/flv-to-avi-converter/
Good luck,

How to load unicode data files with fixed records lengths?

Hi!
To load unicode data files with fixed records lengths (in terms of charachters and not of bytes!) using SQL*Loader manually, I found two ways:
Alternative 1: one record per row
SQL*Loader control file example (without POSITION, since POSITION always refers to bytes!)<br>
LOAD DATA
CHARACTERSET UTF8
LENGTH SEMANTICS CHAR
INFILE unicode.dat
INTO TABLE STG_UNICODE
TRUNCATE
A CHAR(2) ,
B CHAR(6) ,
C CHAR(2) ,
D CHAR(1) ,
E CHAR(4)
) Datafile:
001111112234444
01NormalDExZWEI
02ÄÜÖßêÊûÛxöööö
03ÄÜÖßêÊûÛxöööö
04üüüüüüÖÄxµôÔµ Alternative2: variable length records
LOAD DATA
CHARACTERSET UTF8
LENGTH SEMANTICS CHAR
INFILE unicode_var.dat "VAR 4"
INTO TABLE STG_UNICODE
TRUNCATE
A CHAR(2) ,
B CHAR(6) ,
C CHAR(2) ,
D CHAR(1) ,
E CHAR(4)
) Datafile:
001501NormalDExZWEI002702ÄÜÖßêÊûÛxöööö002604üuüüüüÖÄxµôÔµ Problems
Implementing these two alternatives in OWB, I encounter the following problems:
* How to specify LENGTH SEMANTICS CHAR?
* How to suppress the POSITION definition?
* How to define a flat file with variable length and how to specify the number of bytes containing the length definition?
Or is there another way that can be implemented using OWB?
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks,
Carsten.

Hi Carsten
If you need to support the LENGTH SEMANTICS CHAR clause in an external table then one option is to use the unbound external table and capture the access parameters manually. To create an unbound external table you can skip the selection of a base file in the external table wizard. Then when the external table is edited you will get an Access Parameters tab where you can define the parameters. In 11gR2 the File to Oracle external table can also add this clause via an option.
Cheers

How can I import a pdf file into numbers so it will open with a click

How can I import a pdf file into a spreadsheet so that it will open with a click?

You can link to a webpage or an email in Numbers-- that's it.
The best way I found to do this is to enable websharing on your machine (see this article if you are running 10.8: http://lowendmac.com/crews/12lc/web-sharing-mountain-lion.html)
You can then place your pdf files in the folder /Users/<your user name>/Sites/<somefolder>
Then link to this using the url "<your machine name>.local/~<your user name>/<somefolder>/<pdf Name>
My machines name is "Proton" (you can get this from the System Preferences > Sharing pane)
My user name is "wayne"
so I stored a pdf file (DM00027543.pdf) in the folder "/User/wayne/Sites/PDFTest"
and stored the URL "http://proton.local/~wayne/PDFTest/DM00027543.pdf" in the "URL" field of the Hyperlink inspector
