Ideas of how to deal with a non-conforming CSV file?!

Hi there folks,
I've been given a CSV file of which I now wish to import into
VizionDB --
unfortunately all of the text fields are not surrounded by
quotation marks
and there's some 9,000 records in total!
Other than going back to my client, is there anything I can
do with said CSV
file to correct the situation?
Many thanks in advance, Mark ;-)

If you want quotes around all the fields, and you currently
have quotes around
none of the fields, you could probably do this using
find-and-replace in a word processor.
Open up the CSV file with 'word' or a similar word processor.
The important thing is that the word processor must be able to do a
find and replace on 'special' characters, like 'return'.
Use find and replace to:
Replace all 'comma' characters with the sequence: quote comma
quote
Replace all 'return' characters with the sequence: quote
return quote
You should then find that your CSV text has quotes around
every record, but you'll have an extra quote character at the very
start and very end of the file (on separate lines), which you'll
need to delete by hand.
Of course, make a backup of your data first - and this won't
work if some of your columns already have quotes, or if some of
your fields actually use the 'comma' character inside the field
data.

you could try using a Java Mapping to change the encoding manually. For that, set the encoding of the OutputFormat of the XML you'll serialize. Try the following code piece for the mapping (inside a try/catch declaration):
DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
DocumentBuilder documentBuilder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
Document input = documentBuilder.parse(in);
OutputFormat format = new OutputFormat(XML, "ISO-8859-1", false);
XMLSerializer serializer = new XMLSerializer(out, format);

How to deal with scratchy sound in AVI file from BetaCam masters

Recently, I got out some BetaCam edit masters of videos I produced in the 1990s. The university instructional technology center transfered the masters to Mini-DV tape, then made AVI files from the Mini-DV tapes. The AVI files sound fine when I play them from my hard drive, but when I use the AVI files in Premiere Pro CS4 and 1.5, the sound is scratchy--sort of like a scratchy record. So then I got the Mini-DV tape and decided to import the program, playing it on my Canon GL1 camcorder and capturing it in PP CS4. But the sound is even worse. Please advise. These programs are too important to not be able to convert them to YouTube and DVD formats.

If things work OK in "programA" but not in "programB" (B being Premiere) that is usually a codec issue
AVI is simply a wrapper... what is the codec?
The first question at the end of this link has a link to the free GSPOT to find the codec
First, work through all of the steps here http://ppro.wikia.com/wiki/Troubleshooting
If your problem isn't fixed after you follow all of the steps, report back with the DETAILS asked for in the questions at the end of that link

How to deal with the extremely big *.ost files in a Terminal Server environment which is running out of space

Hi,
Our Terminal Server is running out of hard disk space, and the major files which occupy most of the space are *.ost files of the Outook, which come form the users which use the Terminal Server all the time through remote desktop. The Outlook is installed
on the Terminal Server and various users can use it.
What would be a solution in this case. Is there a way to limit the size of the *.ost files? I read in forums that having the Outlook 2010 set up in Cached Exchange Mode isn't the best practice for an environment where the hdd space is a major constraint.
What do you suggest?
Thanks,

Is the Exchange server local or remote? If it's local then it might be worth considering disabling cached mode, since the traffic will be going over the local network and therefore having the data cached becomes much less useful. If it's a remote exchange
server then realistically turning off cached mode would likely make it unusable.
If Exchange is remote then other than increasing the available storage, another option might be to upgrade your Outlook / Office installation to 2013. In Outlook 2013 you can configure how much of the users mailbox is cached in terms of time, so for instance
you could set it to only cache the last 6 months worth of mail, and then all recent messages would continue to be quick to view, but older messages that are less likely to be accessed frequently would have to be downloaded from Exchange each time since they
would no longer be cached.

How you deal with the situation if the vendor/supplier is also a customer ?

Dear All,
Could you please help me with the idea on how to deal with the suppliers/vendors who also are customers to you in MM?
Thanks in advance,
Ranjan

It depends what you are intentions are..
However
1. Create a customer master record for that vendor that is also a customer.
2. Enter Vendor number in Vendor field in control data-customer master record.
3. Enter customer number in Customer field in Control data- vendor master record
Finally, Check "Clrg with vend." field or "Clrg with cust." field

How to deal with deadlock on wwv_flow_data table when http server times out

There are some threads about a deadlock on the wwv_flow_data table. None of them contain a real explanation for this behaviour. In my case I will try to explain what I think is happening. Maybe it helps somebody who is hitting the same matter.
In my case with APEX 3.2.1 I am navigating from one page to another. Doing this APEX will lock the table wwv_flow_data. As soon as the other page is shown the lock will be released. But now this other page contains a bad performing query (standaard report region). After 5 minutes the http server (modplsql) will time out and present the message "No response from the application server" on the screen. In the meanwhile the query is still running on the database server and the lock stays on the wwv_flow_data table.
Normal user behaviour will be that the user will use the back button to return to the previous page and tries it again to navigate to the other page or
the user will try to refresh the page with the bad performing query.
And voila now you will have a deadlock on the wwv_flow_data table since a second session is trying to do the same thing while the first hasn't finished yet.
How to deal with it?
First of all. Have a good look at the bad performing query. Maybe you can improve it that it will succeed before the http server will timeout.
In my case the 11gr1 optimizer couldn't handle a subquery factoring clause in the best way. After changing it back to a classical inline query the problem was solved.
Secondly you could increase the timeout parameter of the http server. Although this not the best way.
Maybe it would better if APEX in a next version would release the lock on the table wwv_flow_date earlier or do a rollback just before the moment that the http server is timing out.

Mathieu Meeuwissen

Hello Shmoove,
I saw your reply here and you probably understand the problems the HTTP 100 response may cause.
I am trying to send image that was taken by getSnapshot. The problem is that the server respond with this HTTP 100 message.
I suspect that the reason that my server doesn't recognize the file that I'm sending from J2me is that the "server to client" response to the 100 message comes after the second message of (see what the TCPIP viewer shows down here):

How to deal with the barcode?

i'm developing a file storage system in java, there're two barcode on each file(one is pdf417, the other one is code128) , but now ,there's a problem confused me :
i use the barcode scanner to scan the file and get images of these files from the scanner , but i have no idea how to deal with these images,
i need the barcode information on the images, and i know there're some java components can help me to read the barcode from images , for example : BarcodeReader from Barcode Library, but these components were too expensive for me , is there any other way can solve this problem?

yes, look for a cheaper component...
Or write your own...
Or save up until you can afford the more expensive ones...

How to deal with validation errors from DAO layer.

I have been pondering on how to deal with validation errors from DAO layer.
Lets say you have a DAO that can save a car object. A car has a year, make, model, vin and so on. During the save operation of this DAO, it validates the car attributes to see if they pass some business rules. If it does not it throws some validation exception that contains all the validation errors. These validation errors know nothing about jsf or my components it just knows what attributes on the object are invalid and why.
If I just want to show those errors at the top of the page that would be no problem I could just create some FacesMessage objects and add them to the FacesContext messages. But if the DAO layer is telling me that the make attribute is invalid it would be nice to map it to the make field on the screen. I am wondering if any of you have tackled this problem or have some ideas on how to tackle it?
Brian

Let it throw an exception with a self explaining message, then catch it and embed that message in a FacesMessage.
Or let it throw more specific exception types (InvalidCarMakeException extends CarDAOException and so on) and let JSF handle it with own FacesMessage message.

If you compiled the applet with SUN jdk then use -source 1.3 -target 1.1 to make it run in
msjvm (Microsoft Java Virtual Machine). Note that this is a bad idea because MS is
phasing out the msjvm.
If you don't want to ue msjvm (good for you) than use the object tag in your html file to tell
the browser you need to run this applet with sun jre:

Further to Madhu,I feel you can redefine your feature IGMOD in such a way so that the same set of fields become applicable under different module pools.
V_t588D and Feature IGMOD needs to be redefined in such cases.

How to deal with bass hum/noise while recording

I recently got a bass guitar (fender p-bass) and its a little noisy. There is an electronic hum/buzz when my fingers are not touching the strings. I had my guitar tech look at it and he said the noise is normal. However, I plan on using this bass to record direct and when I plug into Logic this buzz/hum is audible. If I turn the tone knob on the bass down completely, the noise goes away. But when I start to turn the tone knob up at all the noise get louder.
My question is if this is a common problem with instruments (bass, guitar, etc) and is it normal to use a plug-in to eradicate this noise (like a noise gate, or something else)? Also, does anyone else have any ideas on how to work with this buzz/hum? Thanks.

Hi JackQ,
I had some experience a few years back with one of these basses,same model.Basically,the hum you are hearing is a grounding problem.Your tech does not know how to fix it,that's why he said it's "normal".It's not normal.
You cannot get rid of that noise unless you do two things.One:get a reputable tech that is an expert on electric instruments,and ask him to solve the ground hum problem.It is not expensive to do so.
Second,you can do a "home repair" kind of fix,like this:Take a RadioShack alligator clip wire (the ones that look like little alligator mouths,that clamp onto anything)and hook up one end to the bridge of your bass,and hook up the other end to your body,preferably where you have a high pain threshold.This second option,will work,but I only recommend it when you are going to record,otherwise if you leave the alligator clamp on you for a long time,it will leave a permanent mark(just kidding).This also is the cheapest and most efficient way of dealing with the hum problem.Plugins like a gate or other are not going to make it go away,and you'll spend wayyyyyy tooooo much time trying to get it(the plugin) to work.
Cheers,

How to deal with OpenCL grey out issue.

First off, I'm not native english speaker.
I have Nvidia GeForce 550 Ti video card, and its support OpenCL v1.1.
I'm also face a "random" OpenCL grey out issue like other people here, but I found the "issue" and how to deal with.
open a command windows (using WinKey + R, and type cmd <enter>)
type "cd C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6 (64 Bit)" <enter>
type "sniffer_gpu" <enter> -->> to check your GPU has OpenCL in Photoshop?
When GPU is in power-saving mode (core running in 51Mhz, using MSI Afterburner monitor), I running sniffer_gpu, got this report
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6 (64 Bit)>sniffer_gpu
Device: 0000000000328D68 has video RAM(MB): 1023
Vendor string:    NVIDIA Corporation
Renderer string: GeForce GTX 550 Ti/PCIe/SSE2
Version string:   3.0.0
OpenGL version as determined by Extensionator...
OpenGL Version 3.0
Has NPOT support: TRUE
Has Framebuffer Object Extension support: TRUE
OpenGL ok
Return code: 1
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6 (64 Bit)>
No OpenCL support
Then, I switch GPU back to normal status (core running at 900Mhz)
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6 (64 Bit)>sniffer_gpu
Device: 00000000001F8D68 has video RAM(MB): 1023
Vendor string:    NVIDIA Corporation
Renderer string: GeForce GTX 550 Ti/PCIe/SSE2
Version string:   3.0.0
OpenGL version as determined by Extensionator...
OpenGL Version 3.0
Has NPOT support: TRUE
Has Framebuffer Object Extension support: TRUE
OpenGL ok
OpenCL ok, version=1.1 CUDA 4.2.1
Return code: 3
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6 (64 Bit)>
OpenCL support !!
Nowadays, most of new GPUs were support power-saving, but when sniffer_gpu running at GPU power-saving state, the OpenCL computing report maybe "time-out", cause the detector "guess" the GPU does not support OpenCL. This is why many people says "OpenCL" sometimes work, sometimes grey-out.
I hope this bug can be fixed, or at least people can understand how to "enable OpenCL everytime when you launch photoshop".
Bye.
