IDS INI files - Still used?

Hi,
We're running IDS 2.2 p05 to access Documaker archives and that works fine.
I've noticed that, while we have kept the files DOCSERV.XML and DOCCLIENT.XML in sync, we also have the files DOCSERV.INI and DOCCLNT.INI that have never been updated.
We have created and are using a new ReqType in DOCSERV.XML that does not exist in DOCSERV.INI, so I assume that the INI files are not being used by IDS, since everything runs fine.
For our June delivery, I will be implementing a RUNDAP solution that will use the ReqType RPD. Will I need to update these INI files for this to work ? Are these two INI files still relevant?
Thanks,
Gaétan

Hi Andy,
That's what I was expecting, but Documaker being Documaker, ou never know :-).
Thanks for the quick reply, much appreciated.

Renamed a .cp file but .swf file still uses old name

I tried finding where the original file name would be kept in
the .cp file. The Property window has the updated name, the Publish
uses the updated name. I checked using notepad and no matching
string found. I use notepad to view the generated .swf file and the
old .cp file name is still in there. From the robohelp project in
the multiMedia folder of swf files, the right click shows the edit
option. This seems to use swf's stored file name for the .cp file.
How can I correct this?
The Captive help indicated a movie file can be renamed by
simply using widows explorer, nothing else required.

Seens if you delete the old swf file before you generate the
new one the new swf file has the current .cp file name.

Deleted files still using up disk space

Long story. Transferred 30Gb of mpegs from my wife's laptop to mine via firewire target disk mode on wife's machine. Logged off to disconnect and when I unplugged, got the disk wasn't ejected error. I thought it was. I had deleted the 30G from my wife's hd before disconnecting. Now, the files are gone from the desktop, but the disk space didn't free up. Still shows only 6 GB free. If I hook it up as a target disk, it shows the 36 free, but when running on its own, only 6 is free. I've repaired permissions, executed all maintenance scripts, repaired disk, verified disk, and run every test in Tech Tool Pro 4 with no help. Turned on invisible files, force emptied the trash with Cocktail, still no help. If you add up the size on all the folders, it gives 30GB less than the drive itself says is used. Where are those files and how do I get the space back?

Sure hope you aren't afraid of Unix...
From the wife's Mac, open Terminal (applications / utilities / Terminal)
For all of these type in's I say to do, do whats inside the quotes and not the quotes themselves. Or do a copy and paste if you aren't sure on a letter... And press Return after you type them in.
Type in "cd /"
Type in "ls -al"
You should see a .Trashes in here at the top of the list.
Type in "cd .Trashes"
Type in "ls" here and see what you get. It will probably be a folder named 501 for the admin account from your Mac.
If so, do an "rm -R /.Trashes/501/"
and watch your disk space.
If it complains to you that you don't have permissions, you will have to type in "sudo rm -R /.Trashes/501/"

PXI-MXI-4 with NI PXI-1044: No PXISYS.INI or CHASSIS.INI Files

I am unable to locate PXISYS.INI or CHASSIS.INI files for use with the PXI-MXI-4 bridge with a NI PXI-1044 chassis. I have reviewed the knowledge base article regarding these files (http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/websearch/862567530005F09C862566A0005EAB87?OpenDocument) but am still stuck.
According to the article, the chassis manufacturer (NI in my case) should provide these files. However, they are nowhere to be found!
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Luke,
You can generate the required configuration files using MAX. Please refer to
"Configuring the PXI System Entry in MAX 3.x" at
http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/5902345227DFCA1286256EDA0063F50C
for more information on how to do this.

Variable .wim file (BackupFile) using %TaskSequence% not working for reference image

Hello,
I am trying to make a semi-automated solution for building reference image. The goal is to just select a task sequence and based on only that input create a reference image and store it on the MDT server as a unique named .wim file. I'm doing almost exactly
the same as all the pro's (Johan, Mikael, etc.). What I do is in the CustomSettings.ini I specify BackupFile to be %TaskSequenceID%.wim. My goal with that is to get a .wim file that is called REFWIN81CORENLX64.wim. Instead of that I get %TaskSequenceID%.wim.
I'm banging my head against the wall all day now and I have even build another environment to see if the problem occurs there too. It does..
I'm hoping that someone can tell me what Ido wrong.
Mathijs

Short Answer:
You have programmed a race condition into your system.
Long answer:
MDT will fill out the TaskSequenceID variable during the MDT LiteTouch Wizard.
You put the BackupShare variable in your CS.ini file:
BackupShare=\\MDT02\MDTBuildLab$\%TaskSequenceID%
However, the CS.ini was ALREADY processed *BEFORE* the MDT LiteTouch Wizard. and since TaskSequenceID was set to <BLANK> then Backupshare becomes the value above. ANy attempt to re-parse the cs.ini file will not process BackupShare because ZTIGather.wsf
will only pick up the value the first time.
Instead you should set the BackupShare variable *AFTER* the MDT Litetouch Wizard, if you want to leave it in your CS.ini file, then use Johan's method to re-parse the CS.ini file during the Task Sequence.

INI file preference not being followed - Regarding SAP Note 1409494

Hi,
Following SAP Note 1409494, it seems like there is a preference over locations of INI files.
I have setup on my Citrix servers, the environment variable (SAPLOGON_INI_FILE) pointing to a central location of INI file.
The problem is that in the same server there is the BW logon pad that requires a different set of configurations, therefore a second INI file.
When I try to use the first option on the note (command line parameter /INI_FILE) pointing to a second INI file, it uses the one on the environment variable.
Is that the way it's supposed to work???
Is there a way to bypass this?
Thanks!

Hello Vijith,
I guess you are talking about <a href="https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1034932">note 1034932</a>. It is currently being changed, what it will basically say is:
If you put the jars somewhere in /usr/sap and later on upgrade the engine you will actually loose the entire folder and will have to copy the jar files again.
As a permanent solution you could define an <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/ee/0618d0899001408d821096c85ff8a2/frameset.htm">HTTP Alias</a> on the engine (not an application alias but an http alias) which will point to a folder on the file system outside the /usr/sap folders.
After that just set JavaGuiCodeBase for the applet to whatever you chose for the http alias name.
If you have suggestions to further improve the note, please let us know.
Best regards
Rolf-Martin

Can TestStand 2.0.1 store/compare strings (local variables, strings in *.ini files) as unicode strings?

Can TestStand 2.0.1 store/compare strings (local variables, e.t.c) as unicode strings? If so, how can I tune TS to do it? Is there built-in support for such strings in newer versions of TS? I've not found sufficient information on the matter at the DevZone Forums.

Hi Paul,
Try this example, I'm sure I downloaded this from NI website.
This just reads keys from an INI file but you can also write to an ini file by using the appropiate functions in the dll.
Hope this helps

Essbase.ini file location

Essbase 6.2.2 In MS Terminal Server, how do I specify which essbase.ini file to use (ie. file path)? I logged in using the admininstrator account to solve another issue and ever since it is bypassing the individual client file and using the administrator version. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Hi thanks for your link.
The document you pointed me towards led me to SAP note number 756686
which explains that you can edit the SAP icon on your desktop (by right-clicking and opening with notepad) and then adding a line cmd="/ini_file='path to ini file'\saplogon.ini'
Thanks for your assistance.

Memory leakage when using Ini-file VIs

I'm using the Configuration File Vis to read and write data to different .ini files. The files contain both standard keys and clusters written as a segment using the Open G toolkit. Instead of opening the files and keeping them in the memory of the Config VIs I'm just using them to read and write, decode and encode...the references are all closed using the Close Config Data.vi. The problem is that even though immediately close the config data the application keeps grabbing more and more data...every time a configuration file is open, read or written to and the closed everything from 4K to 50K of additional memory has been allocated by the application (this is a stripped down application that only deals with the config files, so
there are no other sources for the memory leak).
Has anyone else experienced this? How can you repeatedly open and close config file slike this without it continoulsy allocating more memory?
Attached is a copy of the VIs, the directory structure must be kept intact if the ini file is to be read correctly.
I've been stearing so hard on this the whole day that I might just be overlooking something obvious...
In the full application the VI init and write operations are only done when the user reconfigures the system, which may be a couple of times per month...so the memory leak would not cause a problem right away, but it would not be healthy to leave it there...

Could you post a 6.1 version?
LV7 is still about two weeks away for me.
Does the problem show up in 6.1?
I ran across an error while writting to a FP output that was not configured that would cause a "drop of memory" to leak every time the VI performed the write. The leak did not show up in the profiler but windows would show te memory foot print growing continually as long as the writes continued. The work around was "don't do that!".
I bring this up because I found and reported this just prior to LV7 release and the featur may still be present in LV7. I also believe that Jean-Pierre used a "write and check" metod to detail with the unknown data types of of complex data structures.
If you just read does it leak?
If you just use simple data types do
es it leak?
Is the ini file growing?
I really appreciate the effort you have been putting into the Dev-Exchange Mads! I wish i could do to more to help.
Keep us posted.

I dropped my macbook pro and the screen is broken can i still use it with an external monitor? Or can I or how do I transfer hard drive files to my mac mini?

I dropped my 17" macbook pro and the screen is broken. Can I still use it with an external monitor? When I plugged it into a monitor I had used it with before, I'm not able to see anything on the macbook screen to control it. It came on but I just got the blue screen with nothing else after typing in my password. (Didn't see the password form just assumed it was there somewhere and it did go from space to blue screen but no desktop icons, files, dock strip at top or anything else, just blank blue screen) so I can't access the system preferences.
Or can I / or how do I, transfer hard drive files to my mac mini? If not salvageable as is can I pull out the hard drive and make it an external harddrive? In otherwords is anything salvageable? It seems it's coming on I just can't access anything. BTW I was told it would cost aprox $1000 to replace the screen! I paid almost $4000 for this thing and it was running great - makes me sick to lose it!

I'd like to promise you that everything will be fine if you just get the monitor going - but it's hard to know what the hardware damage might be. It might be the monitor, or the damage might be greater.
Your best solution would be visit your local Apple Store and let them know what your situation is. They have access to diagnostics you don't, and they might be able to the best way to save your data and keep you computing. It's still not covered, but they can tell you what your current options are.
Um, you might consider investing in a backup drive.
And there other repair options, too. Powerbook Medic http://www.powerbookmedic.com/xcart1/pages.php?pageid=67 offers reliable repairs, and quotes prices well under Apple's.

How to create and edit a .ini file using java

Hi All...
Pls help me in creating and editing an .ini file using java...
thanks in advance
Regards,
sathya

Let's assume the ini file is a mapping type storage (key=value) so lets use Properties object. (works with java 1.4 & up)
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.Properties;
public class Test {
     private static Properties props;
     public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
          File file = new File("test.ini");//This is out ini file
          props = new Properties();//Create the properties object
          read(file);//Read the ini file
          //Once we've populated the Properties object. set/add a property using the setProperty() method.
          props.setProperty("testing", "value");
          write(file);//Write to ini file
     public static void read(File file) throws IOException {
          FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(file);//Create a FileInputStream
          props.load(fis);//load the ini to the Properties file
          fis.close();//close
     public static void write(File file) throws IOException {
          FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(file);//Create a FileOutputStream
          props.store(fos, "");//write the Properties object values to our ini file
          fos.close();//close
}

After upgrading to ios6 my iphone will not open .xls files in emails with the default viewer. Is there a fix for this? The same emailed .xls files still open on my ipad using ios5 while viewing email like they did on my iphone prior to upgrading.

After upgrading to ios6 my iphone will not open .xls files in emails with the default viewer. Is there a fix for this? The same emailed .xls files still open on my ipad using ios5 while viewing email like they did on my iphone prior to upgrading. I have no special software like numbers or anything else installed on either device. Just using the default viewer provided by apple for viewing email.

The attachment is an .xls excel 97-2003 spreadsheet. I viewed the file in the email and did not edit it with any software. I can forward the file to anyone that is may want to check it out to see if they can help me. I was wondering if there was some way of forcing another ios6 install on my phone and maybe that would solve it.
Is there anyone out there that is viewing .xls files in email using ios6 w/o any other software installed like numbers or any other add ons? I am not upgrading my ipad from ios5 to ios6 so I can still continue to view the emails on my ipad. Is there an email viewer .xls plug-in that will be availablle in the next ios6 update?

I still use Aperture 2.1.4. I need to export an image file with a CMYK profile. Whereas a generic CMYK profile is listed in ColorSync Utility, it does not appear on the list of profiles in the edit portion of the export preset dialogue. Help? Is there some way to add the CMYK profile to the list of choices that are available in the export preset dialogue such that I can choose it?

leonieDF
Thanks for your response. My profiles are located within color sync utility as you can see here:
These profiles do not respond to clicking and dragging. Since they are all in one place, more or less, I'm reluctant to make further attempts to relocate them. Accessing the CMYK profile is the first difficult experience I've encountered with this arrangement. I have never needed the CMYK profile until recently, and that need has now past. However, it remains a mystery to me as to why it does not appear with all the others on the menu of export choices in Aperture 2, or on the menu of profile assignment choices in the Preview application (where again all the other profiles are listed as choices). I'm beginning to think my current set up will permit me to view an image that was created in CMYK space, but does not easily assign, or convert to that space. I don't face these restrictions with all the others, so it remains a curious circumstance for me. I anticipate upgrading my computer and software in the near future which might alleviate this issue altogether. Again, many thanks for your attention to this matter. The reach of this community is astounding.

Using ini-files with write-key/read-key (double) and defined accurarcy

Hello,
in a popup the user can insert a numeric-double-value.
This value is saved in a ini-file using the Write-key-vi with Type = double. Works fine.
What do i have to do to set the values after the comma?
So if user inserts 1,532 i want to round to two digits after comma and save it. (-> 1,53)
Thx
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I don't know how LV deals with different decimal seperators (e.g. comma instead of point), I guess it 'just works' depending on the system locale.
A few different options are available as follows...
The Write Key function has a 'precision' input which will set the number of decimal places to save the DBL to (in your case, set this to 2):
If you are using a numeric field, you can set the 'increment' property with 'coerce to nearest' to prevent them from entering more precision than is available:
The obvious method for post-rounding the input is to scale up the number, round to the nearest integer and then divide again to limit the precision:
I couldn't see anything in the numeric/math palettes that does this.

What are the best storage systems to archive inactive (but still used) apps and files?

What are the best storage systems to archive inactive (but still used) apps and files of all types? I already have a Time Casule which I back up on and I'm needing to create more space in my flash drive in my Mac Pro, so I need another external storage system I can use to archive all that I don't currently need. I may still wish to edit and use the files, and I am not very techy and am a broke student... so anything grossly expensive is a no-no for me (between $50 and $200 is idyllic). If you could simply post links of different good/useful hard-drives that I can use, I'd be thankful.
Thank you
p.s. I'm australian, so anything within this country would be great. Or I can deal with somewhere that has cheap shipping.

It's been moved and seconded. Any discussion? Yes:
Buy two external drives. Use one for Time Machine. Be sure this drive is at least twice the capacity of your computer's hard drive. Use the second drive as a bootable clone of your computer's hard drive. Should something happen you can immediately get the computer up and running from the clone until your restore from the Time Machine backup. This is what is called redundancy. Should either backup drive fail, there's another to take its place. Backup redundancy is very important. You can never have too many backups.
