Is it possible to load flat file data residing on a local machine via BODS 4.2 or flat file should reside on BODS server?

Hi All,
I have a requirement to load data from flatfiles stored on particular location, on a machine on which BODS client istallation is there.
I am able to create a flat file format by browsing the file location and giving file name.I can view the file data also.
But when I execute the job, job failswith the error "Cannot open file <D:/BODS_flatfiles/result.txt>. Check its path and permissions".
Please let me know whether it is possible to load data from flat file on a local machine, which has BODS4.2 client installated on it or the flat file should reside in a path in BODS job server ?
Thanks,
Deepa

Hi Deepa,
If you get solution then please mark answer as correct and close the tread!

I have lost my iPhone 5. Is it possible to load the backup data (including notes) from the iPhone backup to my iPad (air)?

Hello I had an iPhone 5 that i have now lost. I'd like to access the backup for that phone, particularly the notes data. Is it possible to access the backup data via my iPad air?
If not do i have to wait until i get my new iPhone then restore from the backup?

Drag and Drop file from a jsp to local machine

Hello All,
We have got a user requirement where, currently we have an attachment section in our JSP, where users are provided with the file download links,
as the user clicks those links the file download pop appears.
But now they ask for a drag and drop functionality, so that the link icon which they see on the JSP, if they drag it to there local machine, the file is downloaded
to the machine. Am not sure if it can be done from a web page. Any ideas if at all this is feasible. Or any direction where i can look through.
Thanks,

But the other way around of dragging file which is on server, to the local machine...even if i have applet.. not sure how will that work.Neither am I. Just check the documentation / forums associated with the UI framework in question. This forum is for JSP/JSTL only. I can only tell how to embed an applet or webstart app in JSP, but nothing more than that.
Any ideas around Activex stuff if any ?Terribly bad idea. It's a MS proprietary technology and it would work in only one certain webbrowser developed by the same company, so you would exclude about 40% of the world wide web population from using the functionality. Just use the standard technologies.

I have deleted my iTunes files and when attempting to Time Machine it is stopping at a damaged file and not letting me continue Error 36 can I force a copy or even better recover my deleted files

I have deleted my iTunes files by mistake and when attempting to recover in time machine I am getting an error message 36 when it finds an incomplete file an I use another method.

I had this exact issue. Spent over an hour on the phone with apple support, they couldn't resolve. Here is what I ended up doing, that worked.
1. Turned iTunes match off on all my iOS devices
2. Deleted the offending playlists from the iOS device they originated on
3. Started iTunes, let it run (literally) for an hour before it became responsive. First thing I did, before clicking anywere else was disable iTunes match. If I clicked anywhere, it would clock for another hour.
4. Let iTunes run overnight, by morning it had cleaned out the repeating play lists. This got my Mac/iTunes back to an operable state.
5. Restore iPhones from backup in iTunes.
What was causing my issue was a single playlist that was created on an iPhone, then suddenly showed up with several thousand duplicates on my other iPhone. The culprit playlist did not, for some reason, duplicate itself on my two iPads. Apple support seemed to think it was because the problem iPhone tried to sync the playlist to iCloud over and over again unsuccessfully, then it finally went through and populated the thousands of blank/failed playlists which then tried to propigate to iTunes and my other iOS devices. Seems like a reasonable theory.
I have not yet re-enabled iTunes match. So, no idea what will happen if I decide to go back down that rabbit hole.

How to speed up the loading of live data into flash file.

How to speed up the loading of live data into flash file if the swf file size is 1.5 MB. Flash file is using 20 web service connections to load the live data.

Hello,
I am also facing a similar problem wherein the SWF file takes time to load the refreshed data in Infoview i.e. after exporting the xlf file to Business Objects platform.

Also the SWF file is approximately 2MB in size and it uses 42 live office connections.
Please suggest solution as to how to decrease the time it takes to refresh the live office connections.

BPM was Picking two files but it was not processing 2nd file data in target

Hi all,
I have designed scenario for picking two files and i want to merge this files into single structure and send it target.when i am try to testing my bpm was picking two files but it is processing only file it went target system.i have steructe for source like
source1     target
root        header
a           item 0 to unbounded
b            a
c            b
             c
source2     item1 duplicated structure
a            a
b            b
c            c
i am getting two source files with the same structure but i have to map it one target structure and i want to map both source fileds to one target structre under item node so i was duplicated item node and mapped a b c fields from both(2 source structures).while testing BPM is picking two file bu in the target i am getting only first file data under item node,whatever i mapped with duplicate structure with second file i am not getting into target file(target is standard proxy structure so cant' create new one item node in that occurance is 0 to unbounded thats y i duplicated node while testing interface mapping its working fine).can anyone suggest solution for this problem.
Thanks,
Seshagiri.

Hi,
In BPM follow the below steps and hopefully your problem will be solved.
1.     Configure one sender CC to get the files from your application server, once the files hit the BPM now you need to
                     configure your BPM accordingly.
2.     Use the Receiver step in BPM to receive the messages. Use the correlation step to get the correct files.
3.     Use container and append the files, so both the files will be append, this means the message content will
                     have 1header, body, footer, 2header, body, footer.
4.     If you want to split the message to different receiver then use the fork step else leave it.
5.     Use the transformation step, the transformation step will call the message mapping. Provide the correct message
                     mapping.
6.     Now use the sender step to send the message to the receiver-target system. In this step use the split value for each
                      concept if you want to generate two different files.
7.     Configure 1 receiver CC to generate both the files.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Jay

Inserting in the UUT_Results table a value that we read from our data base from a local variable

We would like to include in the UUT_Results table a value that we read from our data base into a local variable during the execution of our sequence file. We found that by modifying the configure database options we were able to add a column for this variable, but the local variable was not available to be placed into an expression for that column from the local variables or parameters. Is it possible to do this, and if so, how? Station Globals were available to be included in the expression, however the sequence file may be executed on more than one system which makes the Global unavailable on systems other than the one where the sequence file originated.

You can use the TestStand API to programmatically create global variables at runtime, thus ensuring their existence. For example, you could call Engine.Globals.SetValString("GlobalStringVariableName", PropOption_InsertIfMissing, "variable value")
Of course, if you need to test multiple UUTs in parallel, a single global is not sufficient. In that case you might consider adding the field you need to the UUT datatype in the process model. You could then access the field in your sequence via RunState.Root.Locals.UUT.YourNewField = YourNewValue.
If you also want your sequence to run without using a process model, you must check for the existence of the UUT before accessing it. You could use the expression function: PropertyExists("RunState.Root.Locals.UUT.YourNewFi
eld")

HELP! How to save resultset (NOT file) from server databse on local machine

Our JSP web system allows our clients to be able to search data from the server-side database and then after get the resultset, they also should be able to save these data as a text file on their local machine by just a click. Of course, before they click the OK button, they should navigate the files system on their local machines and choose under which directory they want to put the file, and then provide a file name. I could NOT find a way to be able to navigate the local machine's drives.
I know there is a standard Save As dialogue automatically launched by the browser. But my problem is: I don't need such a pumped-up Save As... dialogue which most brower will provide, because our system will have an interface which will provide the same function as the Save As guy. And this is the part that I am currently working on. Our interface will permit the client to browse their file system and then provide a filename, and then click OK to save the file. PLEASE, anybody who can help me. I know there are guys there have answers for my questions:
1. In my JSP program, I save the resultset I get from the database as a string, and then this string should be sent through inputstream and outputstream and be saved as a text file onto the client's local machine. I know there's a lot file download topics but I am dealing with a string instead of a file, is there an inputstream accepting a string(which contains dataresultset) and output it to a file?
2. As I already said, how to make my own Save As... dialogue?
I really need help! I have been bothered by them for a long time. Thanks in advance!

Well, it's hard to interpret exactly what you want to do but I'll take a stab.
I would put the data into comma separated value (CSV) format and then stream it back to the browser using the "application/csv" content format.
By doing this, they can either save it to their hard drive into the directory of their choice, or open it using whatever mapping they have for the CSV mime type. For most Windows machines, this is Excel (if it's loaded).

Check if the file exists in the local machine...

Hi,
I am getting a problem while checking if the local file exists or not. In the first case the server is same as my local machine. When I try to test if the file exists or not using FILE.exists() it works because I am looking for the file in my machine.
But when I move the code in Unix the file.exists( ) tries to look in the unix box and not the local machine. My question is how to read it from the local machine?
We are using jdk v1.2.2 and Iplanet App server v6.0.
Thanks

What do you mean by "when I move the code in UNIX..."?

Flat file data loading error

Hi All,
I am loading data from flat file. It is given error .File is avilable in selected directory and not opend but it showing return code 01.
That error message is like this.
Diagnosis
An error occurred in the source system.
System Response
Caller 09 contains an error message.
Further analysis:
The error occurred in Extractor .
Refer to the error message.
Procedure
How you remove the error depends on the error message.
Note
If the source system is a Client Workstation, then it is possible that the file that you wanted to load was being edited at the time of the data request. Make sure that the file is in the specified directory, that it is not being processed at the moment, and restart the request.

Hi,
While loading data from a flatfile, it is always better to first check the 'Preview' which is basically simulating the dataload from the file to check if the format is correct. You can do this by clicking on the 'Preview' button in the External Data tab within the infopackage. When you click on the 'Preview' button, it asks you for the number of header rows to be ignored and the number of records you want check from the file. If there is an issue with a particular field or the file, it will give an error message. You can correct the same and them do the actual dataload.
Commom errors during dataload from a file are:
1. You keep the file open and try to load the data. Please close the file before you start the dataload.
2. Data seperator and the number of header rows not specified correctly. Kindly double check.
3. Sequence of fields in the file and the infosource do not match .
Check the above points and see if it is useful.

Shilpa

Flat file data load

Hi
I just want to extract the data from flat file for the standard business content data source(which is having some problem) just to work my way upwards to see that my conversion logic is working in update and transfer rules.
To create a flat file, I downloaded the data on the my documents folder via menu path system->list->save->local file. Here what option do I have to check(Unconverted,Spreadsheet..) and do I have to change the .txt to .csv here to convert in a form suitable for BW loading. Also what should we mention as data separator.
Please advise.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Kate.

Hi kate

Flat file data load - ODS - Look up data in Startroutine

Hi All,
There is a requirement that I have two ODS say 1) ABC and XYZ.
For Both ODS , We load flat file data.
First we load data to ABC for current fiscal period
During the data load to XYZ, We lookup part nos data in ABC for current fiscal period , if data there , for those part nos we load XYZ Flat file data.
My requirement is that , I need to fetch part nos data from ABC for Fiscal period < current fisacl period. Then I need to extract already loaded data for those part nos from XYZ and Mark the flag field as Non reportable .
How can we achieve this ?
Please advice
Thanks
Ajay

Hi ,
Thanks for your reply.
I have done so. When I add lines of My Internal table data to DATA_PACKAGE, It gives the syntax error that both structures are not unique. We have several fields in XYZ ods but they are not in Communication structure.
Thats the problem. Also , if I write the code , will it be executed for each datapackage. I mean , for each datapacket process , my code will fetch whole data from ABC and then from XYZ. Repetion will be there?
Any other logic can i use ?
Thanks
Ajay

Errors when loading flat file data

If you need the excel sheet of data in order to answer our questions about the above errors, you can give us your e-mail address and we can send the simple two rows of data excel sheet file to you.
Thanks!

Hi Kevin,
1.You can use lowercase letters in the values for your characteristics provided you have checked the lowercase checkbox in the general tab page of Create characteristic screen.But when you do so no masterdata tables,text tables, or another level of attributes underneath are allowed.
OR
Use only upper case letters in your characteristic unchecking the above mentioned box.
2.The date format in the CSV file should be yyyymmdd.It should have 8 characters . I guess there is something strange in your "calendardays" since I could not find 8 characters irrespective of the order.Do not forget to use zeroes.
Hope this works.
Reward if it is helpful.

Data source doesn't show porper data while flat file data loading

Hi Experts,
I am trying to load data from flat file for info object 0GL_ACCOUNT. I have created an application component and data source.
My question is after loading text data in the corresponding data source, it shows only few characters of the actual data.
For Ex. in my original data i have G/L account name "Comp Hardware Purchase" but after loading into the data source it shows only "Comp Hardwa".
I want to show the whole name "Comp Hardware Purchase ". I know there is some text length problem but i couldn't find it. What steps i need to follow?
Please help.
Full points will be given to the useful answers ****
Thanks and Regards,
Niranjan Chechani

HI Niranjan,
Go to your data source and check whether the field and infoobject are having the same lenght. If the infoobject lenght is less than your field lenght wihc is coming from Flat file then such issue occur.
Search for your flatfile datasource and and doubel clik on the datasource and check the fileds tabs, there you will have the mapping or you can also check your Transfer or Update rules of the target.
