Import ASCII file: user prompt

Hi,
is it possible to create an additional prompt when using the data manager to import an ASCII file? We have a file that contains all necessary information bar the period. Would it therefore be possible to ask the user at runtime which period the data should be imported to?
Thanks,
Arnold

Hi Arnold,
While running the import DM, you can definitely change the advanced logic and create a prompt statement to prompt the user for the time member. However, not sure whether it will be taken care of while importing the data from the flat file or not. Usually, all the records from the flat file are loaded into the fac2 table of the application (provided the members are base level).
I believe, it will be easier to have the appropriate periods in your flat file.
Hope this helps.

Import ASCII file with empty fields

Hi,
I need to import an ASCII file that for the INTCO dimension has a blank field when the source system does not provide a value. I need a conversion file to convert the other values delivered anyway, so I added EXTERNAL: *EmptyField -> INTERNAL: I_NONE at the end, but that generates an error.
Does anyone know what the correct syntax is to use for an empty field in a conversion table?
Thanks

Hi,
In that case, I would request you to delete the empty column from the flat file and then use *NEWCOL in the transformation file.
Hope this helps.

Can Signal Express prompt the user for the next ascii file name?

I am using the following to collect data from Thermocouples and Strain Guages in our plant. It allows me to plt data every second, while recording only every 3 seconds to cut down the file size.
Big Loop-
Small Loop-
      Conitional repeat...
      DAQmx Aquire...
      Statistics (mean) Temp...
      Statistics (mean) Press...
      Current Iteration...
End Small Loop-
Save to ASCII/LVM
The problem is that I have to configure the save step as "overwrite once, then append" so I get a single file each time the project runs. How can I get Signal Express to either prompt the user for a new file name with each run or have the ascii file saved into the log directory for that run. As it stands now, the file gets overwritten with each new project run.
Thank you.
new user

Hi crawlejg,
You can set signal express to increment the file being created each time. But if you are looking for 1 new file each time the project runs you will have to use LabVIEW as this advanced functionality is not available in Signal Express. If you need help getting this to work in LabVIEW or have any other questions please feel free to ask!

Import PST files for multiple users at the same time?

While importing PST files into archive mailboxes, the Exchange 2010 mailbox server went to 100% CPU and memory usage and I could not stop the imports because the EMS stopped responding. We had to restart the whole server to get back to normal.
Not sure if importing PSTs was the cause of it it was a coincidence. We have done imports the same way before without this issue.
How many PST imports can be done at the same time and how do we queue up multiple users and have the mailbox imports have unique names for each user? I noticed they are always called MailboxImport and MailboxImport1 and then it starts over as MailboxImport
again for additional users. So, if more than one user's PSTs are being imported at the same time, we will have multiple identically named imports running.
We would like multiple users' PST imports to queue up and start automatically when the previous users' imports complete.

Please try like this. Rename folder name same as alias. i.e. \\server\share\<alias>. below are examples.
"\\server\share\jsmith"
"\\server\share\tjones"
"\\server\share\rsmith"
"\\server\share\bspears"
"\\server\share\mmouse"
And run below command to take PST from the corresponding
foreach ($i in (Get-Mailbox)) { New-MailboxImportRequest -Mailbox $i -FilePath "\\Server\share\$($i.Alias)\$($i.Alias).pst" -baditemlimit 50 -acceptlargedataloss ;while ((Get-MailboxImportRequest -mailbox $i | ? {$_.Status -eq "Queued" -or $_.Status -eq "InProgress"})) { sleep 180 } }
If a folder missing with the alias you will see an error similar to this.I think this will work for you. You just keep only the required PST folders to import in the "\\Server\share" folder.
"Unable to open PST file '\\server\share\mmouse\mmouse.pst'.
Error details: Could
not find a part of the path '\\server\share\mmouse\mmouse.pst'.
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (0:Int32) [New-MailboxImportRequest], RemotePermanentException

Data import from ASCII file : javasript to determine correct account

Hi,
I am importing data from an ASCII file and need to use a conversion file with javascript to determine the correct account depending on the amount I am importing.
As an example:
If external account B4711 carries an amount of 1000 it needs to be imported into internal account A890, if it carries an amount of -1000 it needs to be imported into internal account B890.
I have the VB script to do this in the MS version but am struggling with the javascript for the NW version.
In the transformation file, the account is the amount from the load file, the string | and the account from the load file. In my example I would get either 1000|B4711 or -1000|B4711. This part works fine.
The conversion file looks like this:
external internal formula
*|B4711 *IF(js:%external%.substring(0,1)=- then B890; A890)
The idea is, that if the first character is the minus sign, the conversion will return account B890, if it is any other character the conversionwill return A890. The actual result is that all data is imported into the account A890 irrespective of the amount (both positive and negative amounts).
Can anyone help me with this?
Thanks,
Arnold

Hi Arnold,
Oh no! I thought this was going in the Formula column. I don't know how I got that idea.
So, I reviewed the documentation ([http://help.sap.com/saphelp_bpc75_nw/helpdata/en/81/94a8a5febd40268d5c59b4fc31be37/frameset.htm]) and you are correct that you should be able to use JS with the *IF statement - I was incorrect about that, at least according to the docs. In your original JS you probably just needed to use == instead of = and then put the minus sign in double-quotes
They also give an example of how to do it without JS, which I guess would look like
*If(%external%=-* then 242000; 128000)
So, that might work as well, though I'm not sure about how it's going to handle that minus sign.

Error in importing data from multiple ASCii files, Concatenate

I am trying to use the "Importing Data From Multiple ASCII FIles.VBS" and the "Concatenate Groups.VBS" scripts downloaded from here, http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/epd/p/id/3870. When I run the importing data script and test it by highlighting the example data that comes with the download I get an error. "Error in <Importing Data From Multiple ASCII Files.VBS> (Line:60, Column: 11): Variabls is undefined: 'AscIIAssocSet' "
The offending line of code is " Call AsciiAssocSet(FilePaths(i), StpFilePath) ' assign STP file "
Screenshots of the error are attached.
Can anyone tell me what this error is? Am I just doing something wrong? Getting quite frustrated.
Thanks in advance.

Please have a look at the DIAdem Example to concanate channels. Its delivered with DIAdem.
Examples > Creating Scripts > Scripts > Appending Channels to Each Other
Please use a dataplugin (File -> Text DataPlugin Wizard...) or the csv plugin to load your data.
Greetings
Andreas
P.S.: The one you have downloaded needs the old Ascii Wizard that is not activated by default in newer DIAdem versions.
If you want to use it anyway:
Settings -> Options -> Extensions -> GPI Extensions ...
Add gfsasci.dll

Import txt file into user dictionary

How to import text file into user dictionary through javascript? I can manually import txt file into user dictionary thru "Edit=>Spelling=>User dictionary...". But I don't know how to do it using javascript. Please advise.

Advice? See in some version of the object-model reference under userDictionary. There you'll find a method called addWord(), which looks promising.

Input ascii file to diadem with ascii-import filter

Hello,
i want to import an ascii-file to diadem7.02 and want to save it as an .DAT-File.
i do this with Fileload and with the ascii-import filter. My problem is, when i want to record a autosequence, and i open the ascii-import filter und push the Ctrl-A key, it doesn´t record this window in the autosequence.
Is this unpossible in DIAdem or have anyone a solution for it.

Thank you Brad for your help,
but this solution is only for Diadem 8 and i have version 7.02.
I have hardly experience in Diadem 8 and nothing in vbs-programming so i had to solve this problem in Diadem 7.

Directory created in UCCX server \Program Files\wfavvid\Prompts\user\en_US\ disappears

Hello,
Has anyone experienced this before? In my UCCX server, I have some sub-directories in the folder \Program Files\wfavvid\Prompts\user\en_US\ with prompts. I just restarted the Cisco Unified CCX Engine service, and the directory and prompt files disappeared! I did it again just to make sure (created directory in that path and restarted the service again, and that directory is gone after the service comes back.)
I'm running UCCX Premium 7.0(1)SR05_Build504
Thanks,
-Dave

That's not a bug, it's a feature.
You cannot just go to the Prompts folder on the CCX filesystem and place your prompts there in whatever directory structure you'd like to. CCX will always restore the directory structure which is stored in its database after engine restarts.
You need to use the CCX administrative interface to create prompts dir structure, and upload the prompts there.
If you don't want to go over this hassle, you can also create a directory structure on the file system OFF the CCX Prompts folder, but you'll have to make sure in the scripts you'll have to reference your prompts a little bit differently. Instead of saying P[somedir\someprompt.wav] in the Play Prompt step, you'll have to first do a Create File Document with the full pathname and filename of the prompt file, and then do the Play Prompt step referencing the document created by the previous step. Here is what I use:

Error handling for importing a file

Hi, I have only been doing java for 1 semester, and have got terribly stuck on my final assg. I have to import a txt file, and catch any exceptions. I know I am not using the correct method to read the file, but am not sure what the alternatives are. I am getting a compile time..illegal character msg for my Mydata.txt file. Here is my code.
PS I do have a CatalogueItem class and a bit more to the main class, I have not attached it as I do not want this to be too long.
/The program reads 10 sets of catalogue data from the Mydata.txt file
//it prompts the user to use one of the 5 menu options displayed on the screen
//depending on which option is selected the program displays the data
//back on the screen.

     private static final int MAX = 10; //sets the length to 10(for most exp products)
     private static CatalogueItem[] prodlist; //sets array for product list
     NumberFormat cash = NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance(new Locale("en","AU"));
     public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException
     CatalogueItem prodlist = new CatalogueItem[10];//sets the length to 10
     {//create Buffered FileStream and initialise to zero
     //use bufferedReader to read in data my Mydata.txt file.
     BufferedReader inFile = null;
     BufferedReader inFile = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(C:\Mydata.txt);
     //print a msg stating the file is loading
     System.out.println("Loading file data from Mydata.txt...10 item(s) OK");
     //initialise the array elments to zero
     for( int a = 0; a < prodlist.length; a++)
     prodlist[a] = 0;
     //if incorrect command lines were passed in display
     //usage msg and quit program
     if(prodlist.length != 1)
          System.out.println("Usage: java assg <Mydata.txt>");
          System.exit(0);
     try
          inFile = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(args[0]));
     //display the error and quit if the file is not found
     catch(FileNotFoundException e)
          System.err.println("File not found--program will terminate");
          System.exit(1);

     if(temp ==null)
          valid = true;

     //display error if there was a problem closing the file
     catch (IOException e)
          System.err.println("error closing data file")


I think the problem is the "\M" in "C:\Mydata.txt". It is trying to make that into an escape character. Use "C:\\Mydata.txt" or "C:/Mydata.txt" instead.
The logic here is odd. You open a BufferedReader for Mydata.txt, then you trash it without closing it and create another BufferedReader for whatever command line argument the user passes in. Which reader do you want to keep?

Save a character mode report to ascii file after previewing?

Question:
why isn't there a way to say generate a character mode report into an ascii file form the Previewer, am I missing somethig?
I know you can choose print and then print to file or choose generate to Postscript file, but it is not as clean as it is with bitmaps that you can preview and then save as: html, pdf, htmlcss, rtf etc.
very many thanks in advance,
ER.
null

I am really glad someone tried to help me. Truly thanks.
However, I am even more confused now because once I see my character mode report in the previewer and try to generate into an html file the message is:
rep-1920: Character mode runtime incompatible with desformat of pdf, html, htmlcss or rtf,
There is no such error with bitmap reports so why would it be a problem for the character report since you say it is converted to bitmap?
Other than that, even more important question is using this same report to be displayed on web: since there is no convinient storing in the local users space
in that case.
Thanks,
ER.

How to include preset in RTF import option while importing RTF files?

Dear all,
I created a script which will place text from rtf files present in a folder to an active document on different page based on match. I am using a preset name "myRTF" which i will use when i import rtf files without script.
Is there a way to include this preset in script?
I have checked many places....... but did not found.

Hi Dave, Peter,
thanks for your reply. In that case i will check WordRTFImportPreference but not sure if customize style import can be done for paragraph style sheets.
for example: word has "normal" and "head1" style but i want to map to indesign Body_light and H1 styles respectively.
