Import data Question

Can you please give me step by step stages how to import Data from an Excel Sheet into Items Master data where:
a. I want to import Bar Code numbers in to the existing Bar Code Field for individual items
b. How do I Map which field in Excel corresponds with the Sap Field
Thank you

Hi Robert,
in your template directory you find a template for item master data. If you only want to update you 'll need the ItemCode, RecordKey (free numbering series) and your BarCode only. Just fill the excel sheet with the informations and use the DTW. The template automatically match the correct fields.

How to update link and import data of relocated incx file into inca file?

Subject : how to update link and import data of relocated incx file into inca file.? The incx file was originally part of the inca file and it has been relocated. ------------------- Hello All, I am working on InDesignCS2 and InCopyCS2. From indesign I am creating an assignment file as well as incopy files.(.inca and .incx file created through exporing). Now indesign hardcodes the path of the incx files in inca file.So if I put the incx files in different folder then after opening the inca file in InCopy , I am getting the alert stating that " The document doesn't consists of any incopy story" and all the linked story will flag a red question mark icon. So I tried to recreate and update the links. Below is my code for that //code start***************************** //creating kDataLinkHelperBoss InterfacePtr<IDataLinkHelper> dataLinkHelper(static_cast<IDataLinkHelper*> (CreateObject2<IDataLinkHelper>(kDataLinkHelperBoss))); /** The newFileToBeLinkedPath is the path of the incx file which is relocated.

I tried using Utils<IInCopyWorkflow>()->ImportStory() ,But its import the incx file in xml format. What is the solution of this then? Kindly help me as I am terribly stuck since last few days.

Address Book field names changing for "imported" data

I'm migrating from a thousand year old Palm Pilot that has served me so well to an iPhone. So it's time to get my contacts into OSX Address Book.
I have tried moving the data a couple of ways - exporting vCards and text files from the Palm Desktop software.
I did extensive editing of the text file in MS Excel to get the data into good order.
I have set up a template in the Address Book preferences to create fields that I want/need. Some are generic default field names, some have custom names. eg. I want to see a field called "Bus. Phone" not one called "work". Call me picky.
I get the same basic result no matter if I import the vCard file or a text file - The names of the fields just show up with very generic names in the imported data. I should note that creating a NEW record seems to use the field names that I have specified in the preferences.
Also, when importing the text file, Address Book asks me to assign the field names for certain fields (while it seems smart enough to know what labels to use for other fields all on it's own). However, the Field Names available in the drop down menu ARE NOT the ones that I have set up in the prefs. I seem limited to the generic default field names only.
Can anybody tell me how to get the field names to be what I want them to be for address data that is being imported like this?
Thanks for any suggestions - this has been driving me crazy as it would seem to me to be a pretty basic process. (I mean, the Address Book has this import functionality and custom field name functionality built in so it should work right?!)

No sooner do I ask than I notice that other people have asked the same question. In one of the reply's I saw mention of a product called "Abee".
I tracked it down and it did the job for me! Custom Field names live on!

How can I import data in to the digital word generator in Multisim?

How can I import data in to the digital word generator in Multisim?
I just received this comment from a friend, a RADAR engineer, who has just down loaded Multisim. He has been using HP/Agilent software. He has a work around using a piecewise linear voltage waveform with data imported from Excel but this is not really a good solution. It would also be helpful to import data from Mathcad or equivalent.
"I thought I was about to be impressed with MultiSim but it ended only in disappointment. There is a word generator in the simulation instrument panel which can drive the DAC with a waveform and it can have thousands of lines of values. I opened Excel, wrote the formula to generate the time and voltage points for a chirp, converted to DAC values in Hex and then went back to the word generator in MultiSim to load the values only to find that you have to enter each value manually. It doesn’t even allow you to paste in a list of values from a text file. I’m not going to type 5000 values by hand. If you get the chance to give feedback to National Instruments please ask them if the paste option can be added to the word generator. MultiSim is useful in many regards, but in this case, it left me with the impression that it is considerably limited in capability compared to what I’m used to."

Hi,
You can load your data automatically in the Multisim word generator. Follow these steps:
- Save your data file (in excel .xslx ir .csv format) on your computer
- Change the extension of the file to ".dp"
- Double-click the word generator in Multisim and click on Set...
- In the Settings dialog box, click on Load and then Accept
- This will prompt you to select the .dp file you have on your computer, select it and you're good to go
However, in Multisim you have the option of creating your own custom simulation analysis and instrument.
I will try creating the instrument and send it back to you but it might take some time.
Multisim and LabVIEW are very powerful in test automation, with the custom instruments you create for Multisim you don't need to export your data file into excel from LabVIEW (or MathCAD or other tools) and then reload it into Multisim. The test procedure is automated instead.
Please check this reference design about automated simulation
http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/7825
Here is how you can create your own custom measurement tool in Multisim and LabVIEW, but as I mentioned, I will create the word generator and come back to you anyways

Let me know if you have any questions.

Best way to Import Data from a SQL Server Table?

Hi,
Firstly thanks for looking at this question.
We need to import data into SAP BPC 5.1 on a twice daily basis and have chosen not to export to a .CSV file but instead to hold all data in a SQL table and import it directly from there. As part of the import we wish to run the default logic, however only over the data which is imported as opposed to having to running default logic over the entire database after every import.
We did some research on this topic and the only thing we could find that would work as described above is using the "Import SQL" package. However we keep experiencing problems with it and have not yet been able to run it successfully; the errors it gives are not consistent from run to run which makes it difficult to start a thread, though we are getting help from the helpdesk at the moment.
My question here though is - is there another way that someone knows of to import data into SAP BPC from a SQL table, and being able to run default logic over just the data being imported, or is our only hope getting the "Import SQL" package working?
Any help much appreciated.
Regards,
Iain
Forgot to mention details of our environment:
SAP BPC v5.0.495, 2 server environment -
Server 1 (DB/AS/SSIS/File server) = 64bit Windows 2k3 server with 64bit SQL Server Enterprise Edition
Server 2 (IIS/App server) = 32bit Windows 2k3 server
Edited by: Iain Hambleton on Jun 17, 2008 3:25 PM

Lain,
I recently created SSIS packages that need to work with a staging table that does all kind of manipulations of that data before it is loading into SAP BPC, because it also has to load the data in the drillthrough table within the same package. From one point in my package the data is also in a SQL table so basically the same as in your situation. This also works with an export to CSV within the DTSX file like Alwin said, because in this case you can use the standard transformation and conversion stuff during the load.
I also needed to limit the data region for logic to the data region that is in the load for currency conversion purposes. This is not very much of a problem. I had a situation where I have an Accounts receivable cube containing a daily time dimension for keyduedates and a datasrc dimension containing weeks. Every week has a complete overview of the open AR items in that week and need to be converted for that week (datasrc) only and not for the whole database every time we load. But by default data would be converted based on the Keyduedates dimension while I wanted the Week dimension to be used as the data region. I solved it by using these rows in the logic:
*Scope_by=version,Weeks
*xdim_memberset weeks=%weeks_set%
*xdim_memberset version = %version_set%
I can send you the SSIS package and logic if you want. Just send me your details then.

How to do import data from the text file into the mathscript window?

Could anyone tell me how to do import data from text file into mathscript window for labview 8?
MathScript Window openned, File, Load Data - it has options: custom pattern (*.mlv) or all files.
Thanks

Hi Milan,
Prior to loading data in Mathscript Window , you have to save the data from the Mathscript window (the default extension of the file is .mlv but you can choose any extension). This means that you cannot load data from a text file that was not created using the Mathscript window.
Please let me know if you have any further questions regarding this issue.

Import Data to MDM

Hi All,
I have 2 question regarding Key Mapping, while importing data via Data Manager. We are using SAP MDM 7.1 SP04 (117)
1. Load data to a Lookup table, from 2 different source system. I have an Lookup table, to which i will have to load data from 2 different systems say A, B
and both A and B has a different Key, which i will have to store in the Remote Key.
How to Import this data
Remote System Remote Key Name Code
1. A 1 AAA A1
2. B 2 AAA A1
In the above example, same code and Name has 2 different Remote system and remote key... how to load this data to MDM using Import Manager
2. Load data to Main table for lookup fields. I have a set of lookup tables, for which the data are loaded from system A and say remote Key 1.
But, the data to the main table comes from System B, so the data for these lookup fields are not getting mapped automatically, as it doesnot find the remote system in that lookup. How to load the data, to these fields in the lookup, automatically, without doing a manual value mapping.
Thanks,
Priya.

Hi Priya,
If these Systems A and B are SAP systems, then you should go for MDMGX T-code, for reference data (look-up data) into MDM. Importing look-up data from SAP systems using MDMGX is the Recommended/Standard way. You will then import this reference (look-up data) from both of these systems using Remote Key Concept and you will not face this difficulty. Here you will not face any issue, look-up values get automatically mapped whether Main table data comes from System A or System B.
If you have Source file with four fields as given below:
Remote System Remote Key Name Code
1. A 1 AAA A1
2. B 2 AAA A1
Then Segregate Records on the basis of Remote systems with two files, one file which will contain records pertaining to Remote System A only and other file contains records with Remote System B only.
Now, Import the data using import manager remote system for these two files separately for Remote System A and Remote System B using Remote Key concept. Once you Import data in this way, you will see both these Remote Systems with key (I mean two values) in Edit Key mapping when you right click on any record of this look up flat table using MDM Data Manager.
Here you will see Remote system B with Key 2 also.
Other alternative, You can also add these Remote key values for System B manually using MDM Data Manager Edit Key mapping. But it will take time to add value for each of records for this look-up flat table for Remote System B.
Your problem for importing main table records from Remote System B will be resolved because now these look-up values get automatically mapped as remote key for both systems maintained into look-up tables.

Hi Smash126,
Based on the error message” Could not allocate a new page for database REPORTING' because of insufficient disk space in filegroup 'PRIMARY'. Create the necessary space by dropping objects in the filegroup, adding additional files to the filegroup, or setting
autogrowth on for existing files in the filegroup”, we can know that the issue is caused by the there is no sufficient disk space in filegroup 'PRIMARY' for the ‘REPORTING’ database.
To fix this issue, we can add additional files to the filegroup by add a new file to the PRIMARY filegroup on Files page, or setting Autogrowth on for existing files in the filegroup to increase the necessary space.

Tabular Modeling. What is the best practice for importing data into VS to limit the records in the designer?

Should I wrap the queries in a procedure with a @StartDate and @EndDate and create a test partition to pass a small date range?
Or can i use the Table properties screen to put the command there and will it run and not be affected or affect the partitions?This would be nice if this SQL statement on this screen was independent of the partitions and I could just leave it with the the
command text = EXEC TransactionDetail '2014-01-01', '2014-05-31' Especially since if you have many tables that load based on a date range. i would not want to jump in and change that query on all of them.
Is there a a way to have a parameter in the project so all tables would get the same @startDate and @EndDate so I could change it in one place?
And I am not stuck to these questions\options, If there is a better way to mass change the queries to run a subset of data for the designer I'd like to hear it.
Thank You,
Phil

Hi Phil,
According to your description, you are looking for the best way to control the rows that are loaded into a table, right?
When importing data to a table of tabular model, we can apply filters to control the rows that are loaded into a table. After you have imported the data, you cannot delete individual rows. However, you can apply custom filters to control the way that
rows are displayed. Rows that do not meet the filtering criteria are hidden. For the detail information about it, please refer to the link below.Filter Data in a Table (SSAS Tabular)
If I have anything misunderstand, please point it out.

Is there a way to import data in a spreadsheet or text file into Contacts v7?

Is there a way to import data in a spreadsheet or text file into Contacts v7? I have a list of about 500 people and their email addresses in FileMaker Pro that I can export in a number of formats that can be manipulated. Is there any way to get those contacts into Contacts without entering them one at a time?

I have answered my own question. I exported the data from a layout in FileMaker Pro containing the required fields as tab separated text. That produced a .tab file that Contacts wanted nothing to do with. However, when I changed the .tab in the file name to .txt, Contacts accepted it as a file to import (File/Import). I then identified the field in Contacts in which the data in each field in the txt file was to be placed and in it went! The trick was changing .tab to .txt in the name of the file exported by FileMaker Pro.

Aperture Video Import Problem - from Lumix GH4: Imported clips have their dates changed to the import date. The files show up on the hard drive but many are not showing up in Aperture.

Aperture Video Import Problem - from Lumix GH4: Imported clips have their dates changed to the import date. The files show up on the hard drive with import date not created date, but many of these same files are not showing up in Aperture. Sometimes the clips actually show up with the current import but take on the video information from a previously imported file.

It was suggested I move this question to IPhoto or IMovie which I did.
Well moving to a different discussion group did not provide an answer to this question either. But what I finally did was import one batch of photos and videos into IPhoto for a given day at a time. Working with these I could change the date and times in order to get them in the original sequench taken. Then I would create an album with that batch. These would all be on the same day (IMove was closed for this phase). Then I would open IMovie, generate the thumbnails for that album, and select the album I had created. This was necessary because the importing process in IPhoto was using incorrect dates for my video so it was a real struggle finding them in IMove until I developed this approach.
I believe that this whole process was so screwy because I was importing from an external hard drive not a camera. I had these photos on a PC and did not have the original cameras to use to import directly which I am fairly sure would have made this easier!

I have a password problem. After importing data and settings from one MacBook Pro to a new one, I have to put my iCloud password in when re-starting, but the password from the old computer in when waking the computer from sleep.

I have a password problem. After importing data and settings from one MacBook Pro to a new one, I have to put my iCloud password in when re-starting the new computer, but the password from the old computer in when waking the computer from sleep. I want to use my iCloud password on both computers consistently. How can I fix this?

The only other place to change a password for the computer login is in Users & Groups preferences. But I don't really know enough here to fix your problem. You can try fixing the keychain:
iCloud- Frequently asked questions about iCloud Keychain
Tutorial: Resolving Keychain Issues
If you can't access your keychain, or forget your password If you can't get into your keychain file because you've forgotten your password or the keychain file appears to be corrupt, there are a couple of options.
First, if you've forgotten your password, you can use the "Keychain First Aid" utility to make the keychain password the same as the login password. This can be accomplished via the following process:
1. Open Keychain Access (located in Applications/Utilities)
2. Go to the "Keychain Access" menu and select "Preferences"
3. Click the "First Aid" tab
4. Make sure the "Synchronize login keychain password" box is checked
5. Close the Preferences window
6. Go to the "Keychain Access" menu and select "Keychain First Aid"
7. Enter your username and password
8. Click the "Repair" button
The second option is to completely delete your keychain then recreate it. This routine is useful if your keychain appears to be corrupt or otherwise inaccessible. This can be accomplished as follows:
1. Launch Keychain Access (located in Applications/Utilities)
2. Click "Show Keychains" in the lower-left corner of the window.
3. Select the problematic keychain from the left-hand pane.
4. Navigate to the "File" menu and select "Delete Keychain '(name of keychain)'"
5. Check all options for deletion and press "OK"
6. Create a new keychain by going to the "File" menu, then "New" and selecting
"New Keychain"
7. You can now make this keychain your default if you desire by selecting it, then
going to the "File" menu and selecting "Make '(name of keychain)' Default"
Login as root and perform repair In some cases, problems with keychains can only be resolved when logged in as the root user.
First, you want to enable the root user:
1. OS X Mountain Lion: Enable and disable the root user
2. OS X Lion: Enable and disable the root user
3. Mac OS X 10.6: Enabling the root user
4. Enabling and using the "root" user in Mac OS X
After enabling the root user, and logging in under this account, again open Keychain Access. First attempt repairs using Keychain First Aid, and failing that, delete then recreate the keychain as described above while logged in as root.
Persistently asked for stored passwords If you are persistently asked for passwords in various applications that you have specified should be remembered in a keychain, your "login" keychain may not be active for one reason or another.
Navigate to ~/Library/Keychains/ (this is the Library folder inside your user's home folder). Find the file named "login.keychain" and double-click it.
Failing that, select the "login" keychain within the Keychain Access application and make sure it is the default keychain by going to the "File" menu and selecting "Make 'Login' Default"
Turn off Keychain synchronization in applications having problems If specific applications are experiencing issues when accessing password-protected material, the Keychain may be to blame.

Is it possible to import data into Captivate 5?

Is it possible to import data back into a Captivate 5 lesson, that was stored to a server or database from earlier in the Captivate 5 lesson? We would like to redisplay data from one screen to another. Some if it is quiz results, some just responses to questions we ask the user and we sould like to show it again for discussion on the next screen or in an entirely separate lesson. Thanks.

You can easily store data in user variables that will persist for the duration of the user's browser session for a given Captivate lesson. But if you want to have the same data persist over multiple browser sessions you need to write this data to cookies on the users PC or else write it to a database somewhere online and pull it back from there in later modules.
The first option using variables is quite easy to do with Advanced Actions.
The second option using an external database is much more difficult and would require ActionScript programming skills as well as database programming skills for the specific database technology you use and the scripting technologies used to write and retrieve data from it. If you don't have these skillsets yourself, you're going to need to put together a project with a budget to hire the designers and developers required to pull it off.
