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.

Hi
The value of the Channel Strip volume etc is not stored within the C Strip setting, as you have discovered.
If you really wanted, you could add a Gain plug to the strip, with it set to give the correct output level with the Fader set to 0
(Or just set the fader manually in MS)

FileAdapter Write file with empty payload always error

Hi All ,
I run on 10.1.3.3.1 with patch Patch 7375080 only esb not have bpel.I have to use webservice for verify data.
and response with set of objects.
I have 2 important questions about write file with FileAdapter.
1. I want to not create file if not have error from validate data but
with this xsl tranform if I uncomment when value of condition is 'N' that will error cause single line payload.
<xsl:for-each select="/tns:populateYFRIResponseElement/tns:result/tns:wrongLines">

<imp1:Child-Element>
<imp1:FrameNo>
<xsl:value-of select="concat('"',tns:frameNo,'"')"/>
</imp1:FrameNo>
<imp1:EngineNo>
<xsl:value-of select="concat('"',tns:engineNo,'"')"/>
</imp1:EngineNo>
</imp1:Child-Element>

</xsl:for-each>
but if I comment if condition 'Y' FileAdapter create csv files with empty like "","" .
2.
I must write log file with FileAdapter . I want to append file so I add attribute Append=true
to wsdl
<jca:operation
LogicalDirectory="outgoingfile"
InteractionSpec="oracle.tip.adapter.file.outbound.FileInteractionSpec"
FileNamingConvention="YFRI%yyMMdd%.log"
NumberMessages="1"
Append = "true"
>
but when run that throws errors cause properties append not found.
I view class FileInteractionSpec that have append properties .I very confuse.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi
Thank for good answer.I am newbies in esb so I don't know that have routing expression before.
I'm so glad your answer very helpful before routing but same question 1 if I have detail must not write data like below
,import file name YFRI20090616165654.DAT at Tue Jun 16 16:59:26 GMT+07:00 2009 with number of data is 2 correct line is 2
"D",0,0,
,import file name YFRI20090616170202.DAT at Tue Jun 16 17:04:40 GMT+07:00 2009 with number of data is 12 correct line is 12
"D",0,0,
YFRI.txt,import file name YFRI.txt at Tue Jun 16 19:53:48 GMT+07:00 2009 with number of data is 2 error line is 2
"D",1,3,MTOCCode:ZE8839LZ SAA is not have in DB
"D",2,3,MTOCCode:ZE8839LZ SAA is not have in DB
with
<xsd:element name="LogFile">

</xsd:element>
<xsd:element name="Desc" type="xsd:string" nxsd:style="terminated" nxsd:terminatedBy="${eol}" nxsd:quotedBy=""">

<xsd:element name="Detail" nxsd:startsWith=""D"," maxOccurs="unbounded">

<xsd:sequence nxsd:style="array" nxsd:arrayTerminatedBy="${eol}">
<xsd:element name="line" type="xsd:string" nxsd:style="terminated" nxsd:terminatedBy="," nxsd:quotedBy="""/>
<xsd:element name="column" type="xsd:string" nxsd:style="terminated" nxsd:terminatedBy="," nxsd:quotedBy="""/>
<xsd:element name="desc" type="xsd:string" nxsd:style="terminated" nxsd:terminatedBy="${eol}" nxsd:quotedBy="""/>
</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>
</xsd:element>
</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>
</xsd:element>
ESB will display error payload If import not have verify error detail so I have to write 'D',0,0 (Detail,Line,Column).
In this situation how am I to do ?
In question 2 .Now I can append with
<jca:operation
LogicalDirectory="outgoingfile"
InteractionSpec="oracle.tip.adapter.file.outbound.FileInteractionSpec"
FileNamingConvention="YFRI%yyMMdd%.log"
NumberMessages="1"
OpaqueSchema="false"
Append="true"
>
</jca:operation>

File with various field lengths non - fixed cardinalities problem

Hallo all,
we have the following problem.
we implemented a scenario as sown in this blog
/people/venkat.donela/blog/2005/06/08/how-to-send-a-flat-file-with-various-field-lengths-and-variable-substructures-to-xi-30
but there is a problem.
If the file structure is declared as :
Header,1,Items,*
then the adapter does not even read the file from the directory (so I assume that for some reason the file structure is not as expected).
If on the other had the structured is declared as :
Header,1,Items,3
everything works.
Obviously though, this is not satisfying since we need variable cardinalities.
Any suggestions and help is appreciated
Thank you .

Well, I will write the main tests we tried, in case that the situation could be cleared :
I have a specific file in a standard directory, called xi_input. The file is edited straight into that directory, so there can't be filename errors etc.
If the file is left empty :
Nothing happens . No message of any kind in sxmb_moni/monitoring xml messages .
If the file contains the following (data is random) , where 'H' is the key for the header and 'I' is the key for the items :
H     20060403     16     3     316001     kapou     lalla     morellala     20060403     F3     23
I     277101010     2
I     277101011     3
I     277101012     4
There are to cases :
if the file structure is declared as :
Header,1,Items,*
Then nothing happens .
If on the other had the structured is declared as :
Header,1,Items,3
everything works .
I guess there is now a more clear picture of the problem.
As for whether the file adapter does care about the file contents or not, I think that if the Message Protocol is "Message Content Conversion", then it does check the structure.

Get 'Generic Error' when attempting to import .mov files with transparency?

I get the 'Generic Error' when attempting to import .mov files with transparency? I'm trying to use mattes with an alpha channel but I cannot import them. I have had this same issue since cs6, now I have it with cc 2014? Any clues would be most appreciated.
I have uninstalled the DVCPro Codec, but it didn't help.
I have tried converting the .mov file (which is now automatic in Yosemite) and this creates a ProRes4444 Codec, Again no luck with import.
I've seen this issue on the web, but never a solution? Anyone?

Hi Terence,
I tried iPhoto Library Manager but it could not solve my problem. Opening the iPhoto library I can see that the reference to the pictures are pointing to my old location not to the new one. I considered running a script that would change all pointers since this is basically what is needed (in my case from /Volumes/RAID1/Fotos/XXX to /Volumes/Fotos/XXX). Instead I inserted a soft unix link to make to connection but that did not work. It is referring to the airport disk by the airport name rather than the mounted disk name. Very strange indeed. The problem is maybe not in iPhoto but in OSX? Anyway, maybe the only way out is to take some hours and manually run through all linked photos... cumbersome and annoying!

Name the PDF file with a field name

Hi,
I'm new to ES2 and Form creation in LiveCycle, my knowledge in scripts is very less or none i can say, if any one out there could help me out with this i'd be greateful.
I have created a fillable PDF Form using LivecCycle ES2 and would like to know how to name the PDF file with a field value from the form when " save form " or " submit " button are clicked.
Thanks in advance.
Mithun.M.I

You can save the form with name generated from a field's value, but therefore you will have to install a folder level script first and design a custom save button in your form.
You cannot do this with the applications save or save as... buttons, and you also cannot rename a file on submit.
Here's an example form and a folder level script. (Maybe to complicated fdr newbies)

How to create pdf files with text field data

how to create pdf files with text field data

That looks like it should work, but it doesn't.
I opened the PDF I had created from Word in Acrobat (X Pro). Went to File > Properties. Selected "Change Settings". I then enabled "Restrict editing...", set a password, set "Printing Allowed" to "none", "Changes Allowed" to "none", and ensured that "Enable copying of text..." was disabled.
I saved the PDF file, closed Acrobat, opened the PDF in Reader, and I was still able to select text and graphical objects.
I reopened the PDF in Acrobat, and the document summart still shows everything as allowed. When I click on "show details" (from File > Properties) it shows the correct settings.
Any ideas?

Mts files cannot imported with audio in pro cc6. how i can import mts files with audio?

when i am importing mts files in pro cc6. every time it is being imported without audio. though original mts files have audio. how can i import mts files with audio in cc6?

To clarify Media Browser suggestion - very important that you copy ALL content from SD card to hard drive before importing using Media Browser. If you only have the .mts files alone, there is stuff missing that is needed for Premiere to properly interpret the video/audio.

Importing wav files with dead space?

I'm curious if anyone else has experienced slow loading times/overview calculations when importing wav files with lots of dead space into Logic?
Working on vocal comps from a Pro Tools session. Logic has no problem importing full takes (24-bit, 44kHz wav files that basically start at the beginning of the song). But alternate takes that might have complete silence until the 3rd chorus, for example, take forever to load. 10+ minutes in some cases.
If anyone can shed some light on this or share a similar experience, I'd appreciate it.
Tech details, if it helps: Macbook Pro 2.53 GHz Intel Core Duo, 4GB RAM, Lion 10.7.2, Logic Pro 9.1.6

Well, iTunes has no ability to undo edits, so the problem may lie elsewhere. Please try the following extra-extra-careful procedure:
- Edit the file and save it.
- Exit the editor.
- Make sure you know filename/location of the edited file, and that you are not confusing it with some unedited copy of the same song.
- Play the edited file in some other player than iTunes and make sure the edits are as you wished.
- Now, add the file to your iTunes library.
Pls try this and let us know.

java -jar /BO/boxi/bobje/java/lib/biarengine.jar /BO/boxi/test.properties
I recive the following error:

Do you have any idea , what is the problem?
Thank you

Hi Denis
I found out after I create a biar file ,with only the user, through a command line. that the user did import since it was in a concurrent connectiontype , a type that not exit in the target environment.
But after I fix this in the source environment and saw that a biar file with only the user is loaded , I recreate the biar file with all the objects as before (user, universe, report , folder) and I still got the same error message as before.
So now I try to create the biar file with all those object through the command line. and I get a new errer message "Required dependencies not found on target system : '[AZK_.9sbf_lMgdQRpsbZfVw]"
I check it , and understand that the object is the report , but I do not see what missing..... : (
Those are the quries in the properties file:
exportQuery= SELECT * FROM CI_APPOBJECTS where si_kind = 'Universe' and si_name='eFashion'
exportQuery= SELECT * FROM CI_APPOBJECTS WHERE SI_ID in ( 894,926)
exportQuery= SELECT * from CI_SYSTEMOBJECTS WHERE SI_KIND = 'user' and SI_Name='repadmin'
exportQuery= SELECT * FROM CI_INFOOBJECTS WHERE si_kind= 'Folder' and SI_name = 'test'
exportQuery= SELECT * FROM CI_INFOOBJECTS WHERE SI_ID IN (2188)
Can you tell what is missing?

Importing text file (with file names) into Automator.. is it possible?

Hello all,
I have been working with Windows Batch files for my line of work. I have a couple of file names in a text file (a column), which I want to copy from one folder of one hdd to another folder on a different hdd. I have been trying to do this kind of work with a Mac. I already know how you copy and rename files in automator (which isn't difficult, of course) but you have to 'select' the files in the finder first (with get specified items).
But the only way i see that you can specify items is by selecting them... is there a way to import a text file with all the file names instead of selecting all the file names manually?
or is there an AppleScript alternative which I can use to import the text file (or just copy into applescript) and run before the query's of copying and renaming the files? I am kind of new to Apple programming.
The text file looks like this:
image1.jpg
image2.jpg
etc..
so there has to be a command to: 'goto' a specific folder as well.
Thanks in advance!

You can import text files, but if they are just names you will need an additional action to add the source folder path. A *Run AppleScript* action can be used, for example:
Tested workflow:
1) *Ask for Finder Items* {Type: files } -- choose the text file containing the names
2) *Combine Text Files* -- this gets the text file contents
3) *Filter Paragraphs* { return paragraphs that are not empty } -- skip blank lines
4) *Run AppleScript* -- copy and paste the following script:
<pre style="
font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;
font-size: 10px;
font-weight: normal;
margin: 0px;
padding: 5px;
border: 1px solid #000000;
width: 680; height: 340px;
color: #000000;
background-color: #FFEE80;
overflow: auto;"
title="this text can be pasted into an Automator 'Run AppleScript' action">
on run {input, parameters} -- add folder path
add the specified folder path to a list of file names
input: a list of text items (the file names)
output: a list of file paths (aliases)
set output to {}
set SkippedItems to {} -- this will be a list of skipped items (errors)
set SourceFolder to (choose folder with prompt "Choose the folder containing the file names") as text -- this is the folder containing the names
repeat with AnItem in the input -- step through each name in the input
try
set AnItem to SourceFolder & AnItem -- add the prefix
set the end of the output to (AnItem as alias) -- test
on error number ErrorNumber -- oops
set ErrorNumber to (" (" & ErrorNumber as text) & ")" -- add the specific error number
set the end of SkippedItems to (AnItem as text) & ErrorNumber
end try
end repeat
ShowSkippedAlert for SkippedItems
return the output -- pass the result(s) to the next action
end run
to ShowSkippedAlert for SkippedItems
show an alert dialog for any items skipped, with the option to cancel the workflow
parameters - SkippedItems [list]: the items skipped
returns nothing
if SkippedItems is not {} then
set {AlertText, TheCount} to {"Error with AppleScript action", count SkippedItems}
if TheCount is greater than 1 then
set theMessage to (TheCount as text) & space & " items were skipped:"
else
set theMessage to "1 " & " item was skipped:"
end if
set {TempTID, AppleScript's text item delimiters} to {AppleScript's text item delimiters, return}
set {SkippedItems, AppleScript's text item delimiters} to {SkippedItems as text, TempTID}

Find files with empty properties

Hi experts,
We use SAP KM and have some properties which are mandatory when you upload a file.
Now we have the problem, that there are still some files in the KM with empty (mandatory) properties, e.g. when they are uploaded with the portal drive.
Is there a way to find these files? With a KM report, with the TREX (is it possible to search for NULL in the fields), ...?
Best regards,
Manuel

Hi,
You can ofcourse write a KM Report, which iterates through all KM Resources and check for this property for null.
Check this to know, how to create custom KM Report:

When I import video files, iphoto empties itself...

After a lot of recent iphoto problems (every time I imported photos, iphoto emptied itself...), a lot of iphoto library management, new libraries, etc, I also bought a new card for my camera just in case it was a source of corrupted files...
Anyway. Since I've started out with yet another new iphoto library (and all previous photos & libraries erased from the computer) and a new card in the camera, I've had no new "disappearance acts"... that it until today :
I imported photos from another camera than mine (photos that had previously been imported without any problems to iphoto 09 and also to iphoto 6 on two others Macs). An all to known message came up saying it couldn't import one file, an avi video.
I said OK... Closed iphoto and re-opened it. It told me I had to "update my thumbnails" and then iphoto showed up... empty. (Every time I get that message that's what happens - no matter if I say OK to updating the thumbnails or not).
All the missing photos can still be found in the library (via "Package Contents"). But before I start reconstructing, reimporting or making a new library, I'd like to know why my iphoto won't import video files at all anymore (it never had any problems with that before), no matter what format, why it leads to iphoto emptying itself and what could be the source of the problem??? (other than the usual "damaged datafile"... ;-)).
Also - because I'm getting really tired of all these iphoto problems - what's the best alternative photo application for Mac?
Thank you

Hello again...
Forget that last remark I made. I'm totally losing it. Of course the first will show the date of when the last photo imported was taken and the library6 will show when it was imported.
I do however have another question: is it possible that iphoto can corrupt photos?
This is why I'm thinking this might be the case:
Just so you know, I still haven't trashed my last iphoto library (meaning I can see my "lost" photos in "show package contents" - but when I open iphoto it shows up empty).
I have a photo on my desktop.
It was one of those I imported into my last iphoto.
I dragged it from my desktop to iphoto - and it imported without any problem.
I then dragged the same photo - but this time from the originals folder in "show package contents" - to iphoto and was told that the file could not be read or imported.
I've tried with two other photos and got the same answer : the photos can be imported from the desktop to iphoto but not from the originals folder to iphoto.
Is this normal?? (maybe because I'm importing a photo to a place where it already is???)
Just for "the fun of it" I also tried importing a video I made (which can be viewed of different players on my computer) and was told it couldn't be imported or read...

Importing CSV file with Data Merge Fails

Specs
See pasted text from CSV at http://pastebin.com/mymhugpN
I am using InDesign CS6 (8.0.1)
I created the CSV by downloading it from a Google Spreadsheet as a CSV. I confirm with the Terminal that the character encoding is utf-8 usnig the file command.
Problem detailed
I am trying to import a CSV file (utf-8) with Data Merge via the Select Data Source... command with Show Import Options checked. When viewing the Data Source Import Options dialog, I set the following options—Delimiter:Comma, Encoding:Unicode, Platform:Macintosh. I leave Preserve Spaces in Data Source unchecked. It fails to import any variables and produces no error message. I have tried other CSV files as well (created TextEdit, Espresso, etc.) and it seems that InDesign will not import any files if Unicode is specified as the encoding, no matter which other options are specified.
Can anyone else confirm this?
Importing as ACSII works, but obviously does not display my content correctly.

Mike is having some trouble posting in this thread (and I am too), but he sent me a PM with what he wanted to say:
OK. I think I might have a positive answer for you.
I was getting lost in the upper ASCII characters you showed. In your test file I never could see any--a case of not seeing the trees for the forest.
Your quote marks are getting dropped in your test file. Now, this may or may not affect other factors but it does in some further testing. I believe ID has an issue with dropping quote marks even in a plain ASCII file if the marks are at the beginning of a sentence and the file is tab delimited. Call it a bug.
Because of all the commas and quote marks in your simple file, I think you should be exporting from Google Docs' spreadsheet as a tab-delimited file. This exported file has to be opened in a text editor capable of saving it out as a UTF-16 BE (Big Endian) type of file.
Also, I think you are going to have to use proper quote marks throughout, or change them in the exported tab-delimited file. Best to have a correct source, though.
Here is your sample ZIPped up. I think it works properly. But then again, I think I might be bleary-eyed by now.

Take care, Mike
