How to manage a data file using Business Contact Manager database tool

I set up BCM on my desktop and now want to share with the rest of the office. I downloaded BCM database tool on the C drive
of the server and all was well until I tried to move through the wizard. The only option that gets me to a data file is creating a database. However, I receive the error message "Cannot create a new database. The operation has been rolled back. Please
make sure the database service is running". How can I make this work? Truthfully, I don't want to create a new database - I have already set one up; Restore only gives me the database server instance but no choices for the database name list. I have installed
BCM on another co-workers desktop and allowed the database to be shared with her. What more am I missing? Why can't I get the server to see the data file?

Hi,
If the Database has not been shared, you can't connect to it.
Please also confirm you have been granted permission to access the shared Business Contact Manager database.
You can refer to this article below and there are some factors that you should consider:
Business Contact Manager cannot connect to the shared database

I hope it can be helpful.

Can I use Business Contact Manager in Outlook 2011 on my Macbook Pro?

I just switched from a PC to a Mac and use the Office Suite for work, so I installed the Office 2011 for Mac. We use Business Contact Manager to manage our contacts and conversations at work (mostly for records of email exchanges and phone conversations), but I can't seem to figure out a way to install that add-on in the Mac version of the Office Suite. Any suggestions?

Why would you use two?
It is much cheaper and better to simply use a usb drive..
The TC cannot be linked to store files or automatically back them up.. whereas a usb drive at least will be backed up by Time Machine.
If you want to do this properly get a real NAS.. that has mirrored drives and real rsync type backup. You can use an airport extreme for wireless.

How do I sync with Outlook 2010 business contact manager

My Iphone will default to "contacts" in Outlook 2010.
All my contacts are in "Business Contact Manager", not "contacts".
How do I change to sync with BCM ?

You will need a 3 party software for that, something like this:

It sounds like your column is a VARCHAR so you need to Base64 or Hex encode the cipertext bytes before putting them in the database.

Office 365 Outlook 2013 and Business Contact Manager Performance issues

I have some slowness with Outlook 365 at times. Most of the times, Outlook will have to restart. I use Business Contact
Manager so I cannot turn off Exchange Cache. Are there some steps I can follow to troubleshoot? The problems started 7 days ago and seem to be getting worse.

Hi,
The Outlook slowness problem can be caused by many factors, one common cause is some 3rd-party add-ins. We can troubleshoot in Outlook Safe Mode first:
Press Win + R and type “outlook.exe /safe” in the blank box, then press Enter.
If there’s no problem in Safe Mode, disable the suspicious add-ins to verify which add-ins caused this issue.
We can also check the OST file size since large .ost files can also slow the performance of Outlook.
Make sure that offline OST file in Outlook isn't too large. A large OST file may indicate corruption or fragmentation of the file. This can affect performance.
In Outlook, right-click the mailbox in the navigation pane, and then click
Properties.
Click Folder Size, and then note the Total size value on the
Local Data tab.
Open the Outlook system folder by opening the following folder path, depending on the operating system:
Windows 7 or Windows Vista: %userprofile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook
Windows XP: %userprofile%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook
Note the size of the OST file for the user’s Outlook profile. If the OST file is more than 3 to 4 gigabytes (GB) larger than the
Total size value, the file may be corrupted or fragmented. Close Outlook, rename the OST file, and then reopen Outlook to re-create the OST file.

Business Contact Manager

I have the 2010 version of Outlook and BCM on my office and home computers, both running Windows 7. I want to set up a database so that I can access from either location. I have created the database on the Office PC, but cannot locate either the Home PC
as shared user, or the Office PC as remote user.

Hello Dave,
You are right, BCM has been tested only in local network.
Please find excerpt from following article
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/953745/en-us
Unsupported scenarios
In Business Contact Manager, databases were designed and tested to be shared over a Local Area Network (LAN) in a domain or in a workgroup environment.
Microsoft does not support sharing Business Contact Manager databases in the following scenarios:
You connect to a Business Contact Manager database over the Internet. In this case, Internet refers to public networks that are external to a corporate network or home office network.
You use a virtual private network (VPN) or dial-up connection to connect to a Business Contact Manager server.
Some potential problems with the previous scenarios include the following:
Inability to control whether required ports will be available between the Business Contact Manager server or client
Poor performance because of bandwidth or latency when you access or synchronize large Business Contact Manager databases
You share Business Contact Manager databases across versions. In order to share a database, both the Business Contact Manager server and client must be running the same version of Business Contact Manager.
Note Business Contact Manager databases are separate from Exchange stores. An Exchange store cannot access Business Contact Manager databases and Exchange cannot pull data from a Business Contact Manager database. In addition,
you cannot access Business Contact Manager databases through Outlook Web Access.
Please let me know if you have additional questions.
Regards
Anup

Business Contact Manager for Outlook 365

I have a laptop with 8.1 OS and Office 2013 loaded and running fine. Use Business Contact Manager on my laptop and it works fine.
Can do the all the same on Office 365 except for Business Contact Manager. It is listed and shows up under Tasks but nothing happens when it is selected.

Hi,
I think the "Office 365" in the second paragraph should be Outlook 2013 in this customer's post.
Please go to FILE -> Options -> Add-ins, check if BCM is disabled or inactive. Enable it and start Outlook again to check the result.

Where your backups are stored
The folder where your backup data is stored depends on your computer's operating system. Make sure the backup folder is included in your data-backup routine. iTunes places the backup files in these places:

How do I move data files from old iPhone? Specifically, the password files for the App mSecure from my old iPhone 3Gs to iPhone 4S?

How do I move data files for mSecure (a password saver app) from old iPhone 3GS to new iPhone 4S?

That article is about using your iPod as an external hard drive, to move files from one computer to another computer. It is not related to your question.
You can't use iTunes to move song files from iPod to computer, except for songs you purchased from the iTunes Store (and you can also re-download purchases). However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can move song files from iPod to computer. If you do a Google search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.
Once the song files are on your current computer, add them to that computer's iTunes library by dragging the files (or folder containing the files) to the iTunes window. After confirming everything is there (and fixing the data issue you mentioned) you can sync the iPod. You may want to do a Restore on the iPod, if it might have a data corruption issue, which will erase the iPod's hard drive, re-install the latest software, and set it to defautl settings.

How to read a text file using Java

Guys,
Good day!
Please help me how to read a text file using Java and create/convert that text file into XML.
Thanks and God Bless.
Regards,
I-Talk

     public void fileRead(){
             File aFile =new File("myFile.txt");
         BufferedReader input = null;
         try {
           input = new BufferedReader( new FileReader(aFile) );
           String line = null;
           while (( line = input.readLine()) != null){
         catch (FileNotFoundException ex) {
           ex.printStackTrace();
         catch (IOException ex){
           ex.printStackTrace();
     }This code is to read a text file. But there is no such thing that will convert your text file to xml file. You have to have a defined XML format. Then you can read your data from text files and insert them inside your xml text. Or you may like to read xml tags from text files and insert your own data. The file format of .txt and .xml is far too different.

How to update cgicmd.dat file during runtime?

I'd like to know how do update cgicmd.dat file during runtime. For example, I run a report one.jsp as
http://<machine>:<port>/reports/rwservlet?one.jsp&USERID=uid/pwd@db&DESTYPE=cache&mode=bitmap&desformat=htmlcss
within this report there is a hyperlink to open another report named two.jsp.
before creating this hyperlink, I'd like to update cgicmd.dat file with passed in userID, pwd, and connection, so two.jsp can use this key for userinfo
so I can create hyperlink as follows
srw.set_hyperlink('/reports/rwservlet?report=two.jsp'||
'&cmdkey=userinfo&DESTYPE=cache&mode=bitmap&desformat=htmlcss');
Thanks

To my knowledge the cgicmd.dat is only read when the OC4J starts, so you would have to come up with another solution. Using Single-Sign-On (SSO) is quite a good idea, and it's there for cases like this.
