Merge two mst transform files
Hi,
I have two mst files and I need to merge both and create a single transform file and then apply it over an msi. How can I achieve this using C#?
Any code snippet would help.
Regards,
Pradeep R
If you have an original database (.msi) to which the transforms apply, then I think you can do this:
Copy the original database to a new file. (Or perhaps you can use the szPersist parameter of MsiOpenDatabase to skip this step.)
P/Invoke MsiOpenDatabase to open the copy database.
P/Invoke MsiDatabaseApplyTransform to apply each transform (.mst) to the copy database.
P/Invoke MsiDatabaseCommit to save the changes to the copy database.
P/Invoke MsiOpenDatabase to open the original database.
P/Invoke MsiDatabaseGenerateTransform to compare the original database to the copy database and save the differences as a transform.
P/Invoke MsiCloseHandle twice to close both databases.
If you don't want to use P/Invoke directly, then check if Deployment Tools Foundation wraps these functions. Alternatively, you could run the msitran.exe program in the Windows SDK.
If you don't have a suitable original database, then I guess you'll have to use the MSITRANSFORM_ERROR_VIEWTRANSFORM flag of MsiDatabaseApplyTransform and read the _TransformView table afterwards. That should give you enough information to construct a suitable
database.
Yet another approach would be to check if the WINE project has reverse-engineered the .mst file format. If so, you could probably merge the transforms without needing an original database. IIRC they have code for reading .msi files at least. Don't
expect Microsoft to support that though.

How to merge two separate Muse files into one file?
Have 220 pages built for a website, client wants to add another 180 pages. The Muse file is already slow to load and cumbersome to work with at 220 pages, it's going to be much worse at 400 pages. Is there a way to create two separate Muse files and then merge them prior to publish (or at publish, or post-publish). The only other solution I have is to build the second batch of pages in a separate file, then copy them into the main file one by one. Is there a batch copy/paste? Is there a merge?
Hello,
It's not possible to merge muse files as such. The pages have to either be created in the same file or they must be copied over individually later on from the other file to this file.

Merge two Livecycle PDF files into one PDF?
I have a new requirement where I need to take two different PDF forms I'm producing from LiveCycle and merge them together into a single PDF.
I have heard that Adobe Acrobat cannot edit LiveCycle files, does anyone know if it is possible to merge two Livecycle PDFs together into a single file?Hello Clay,
This is not available in the standard SAP Interactive Forms by Adobe solution.
What I can recommend is:
Step 1: retrive the data back from the PDF files using the getData functionality of the ADS.
Step 2: Render a new PDF file. The template of this new PDF should contain the template of both original PDF files.
This should work if both of the original PDF files were created by the SAP Systems ADS.

Merge two History.plist files
Does anyone know how to merge two Safari History.plist files? I would like to take the history files from two different computers and merge them into one. The files are binary, so I can't just copy/paste the XML like in past .plist files; dragging entries from one to the other doesn't work in Property List Editor; and dragging entries into the History listing in Safari's bookmarks window doesn't work either.
Message was edited by: Eliot WhiteI appreciate your point of view, but to me, merging the history files from two computers would be very helpful. I often need to reference sites I've visited in the past, so for the last several years I have set Safari to only remove history entries manually. I find this more useful than bookmarking because I never know what I might want to reference in the future.
I've been using two computers for the last year or so, and I am getting rid of one of them, so I would like to take the History.plist files from each computer and merge them into one. Anyone have any ideas? -
Merging two history.dat files
I have two history.dat files and want to merge them into one. Is there any way to do this?
I tried to search solution and found utility that allows viewing and exporting data from Mork format: http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/mozilla_history_view.html, but it cannot import into this format. Also there is Firefox Sync addon, but it does not support firefox 2. If there is a way to convert history from places.sqlite to history.dat, than it will do for me.
I have mozilla firefox 2.0.0.20 and Windows XPYou're dealing with an abandoned file format, which hasn't been used in Firefox in a few years. As far as Mork databases go, see this and read the criticisms. <br />
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mork_%28file_format%29
If that Nirsoft utility program doesn't have the capability of merging 2 Mork databases, you're probably SOL. That was the only tool that I ever found back in the days that Mozilla still used Mork files. I never used that utility program enough to recall any of what functions it has.
Besides that, why are you still using a Firefox 2.0.0.x version? <br />
Support ended a few years ago and it should be left to RIP. -

Merging two catalog.ircat files
Hi,
I borrowed a macbook pro during my holidays and used a demo version of lightroom on the macbook. Now I want to move the catalog.ircat file to my imac and merge it with my excisting catalog file.
I already moved all the raw files to my imac. But if I open the catalog file on my imac, nothing happens. I don't see the changes I made or the selections (flags) I picked on the macbook.
Can someone help me?
thanksHi,
I just tried that, now I have all the pictures twice. 2nd one is highlighted with a number 2. But I don't see the changes I made.
How do I remove the duplicates without selecting them one by one?

Need your help with merging two text source files into single table. Each text file is single column containing names. Let's say that file one is list of members in DEPARTMENT A and second file members of DEPARTMENT B. Text files look
something as follows:
Filename: DEPARTMENT_A
NAME (header)
Steve
Joe
Mary
Filename: DEPARTMENT_B
NAME (header)
Ron
Joe
Susie
Ultimately, I need the resultant table data to look like this:
NAME DEPARTMENTS
Steve A
Joe A, B
Mary A
Ron B
etc.
I think the solution involves derived columns, pivot, coalesce, but can't figure out how to put them together. What do you recommend? Thanks.You need a data flow task
Inside that have two flat file sources connecting to both files. Following that have a derived column task to add department information (A,B). use a union all transform to merge both the inputs and finally use OLEDB destination to dump the result into table
with two columns Name and Department.
Then add a execute sql task to do update as below
UPDATE t
SET Department = Department + ', B'
FROM Table t
WHERE Department = 'A'
AND EXISTS (SELECT 1
FROM Table
WHERE Name = t.Name
AND Department = 'B'
DELETE t
FROM Table t
WHERE Department = 'B'
AND EXISTS (SELECT 1
FROM Table
WHERE Name = t.Name
AND Department = 'A, B'

Hello
I've created a MST Transform file for Anyconnect 3.1 which removes the creation of the RUN key in the registry, so that the AnyConnect will not automatically started with Windows Boot.
I try to inlcude this MST now into the ASA, so that it will be deployed automatically with the web installation.
Has anybody any experience on how to do that?
Currently the active AnyConnect on my ASA is 2.5.x for Windows. ASA is 8.4.6 and ASDM is 7.1.3.
When I go to Configuration - Remote Access VPN - Network (Client) Access - AnyConnect Customization/Localization - Customize Installer Transforms and import there my .mst file, it does not offer to apply the configuration. It also seems to not work, but I can't really test it, as it's a live system with many users.
Any ideas if I do something wrong?
Attached is the MST file.
Thanks,
PatrickAre you trying to transform a Smart Object layer? In CS3, you can't use the Distort or Perspective transformations on Smart Objects. You will need to rasterize the Smart Object first. Let me know if this isn't what's causing your problem.

For output : mi_output_ib, mi_ouput_abs
In interface mapping I have selected two source interface and one targetu2026

Problem merging two files in BPM
Hi everybody,
I need to develop the following scenario:
I have File_A and File_B.
File_A:
xxx 0001 xxx xxx xxx ...
xxx 0002 xxx xxx xxx ...
xxx 0003 xxx xxx xxx ...
File_B:
xxx 0001 xxx xxx xxx ...
xxx 0001 xxx xxx xxx ...
xxx 0001 xxx xxx xxx ...
xxx .... xxx xxx xxx ...
xxx 0002 xxx xxx xxx ...
xxx 0002 xxx xxx xxx ...
xxx .... xxx xxx xxx ...
xxx 0003 xxx xxx xxx ...
xxx .... xxx xxx xxx ...
After reading these files I need to send several IDOCs (REMADV) as follow:
In this case it would be 3 IDOCs:
IDOC1: One line from File_A and every lines from File_B related by the Key field with the File_A. In this case key field = 0001
IDOC2: Key field = 0002.
IDOC3: Key field = 0003.
In conclusion, I need to send an IDOC for each correlation between one line in File_A and several lines in File_B.
I tried to develop a BPM correlation with the second file but it didn`t work as the second field of the File_B is not always the same.
Any idea?
Thanks in advance.

Batch merging two TIFF files into one
I have a lot of portrait B5-size TIFF files that were scanned from paper documents and I plan to scan more.
I want to merge every two of these files into landscape B4-size TIFF files.
I want to do this by a batch job.
What is the best way?
Are there any command-line tools to do this job?
I do not have Adobe package software. Instead I installed MacGimp.
Although I have some experience with shellscript and Applescript,
I'm new to Script-Fu.
I made a GUI script for the application Preview that reads a multi-page TIFF file and saves as a PDF file with 2-UP layout. This method has two flaws:
(1) Preview aborts for large files.
(2) Resulting PDF file is more than five times as large as original TIFF file.
Namely, 40-page, g4-compressed, 400KB TIFF file results in 2.5 MB PDF file.
Maybe, the Preview does not make inheritance of TIFF compression.
So I decided to make multi-page TIFF files of 2-UP layout.
Thank you for reading.

I seek for help to merge above two java application files.
I need to call JoptionPane.showInputDialog to prompt the user to input the operation, 1 for addition, 2 for multiplication. In this dialog, the user is expected to enter the integer of 1 or 2 for the calculation.
Please help me ! Thank you!Hi CRay,
You just need to call the main methods of the 2 classes according to "1" or "2" entered.
It is better if the "multiplication" and "addition" are declared as methods rather than in main methods.
Example:-
public static void Addition()
Then call
Addition.addition();
than
Addition.main(new String[]{});
as shown below.
import javax.swing.JOptionPane; // import the class
public class Test{
public static void main(String[] args){
// read which operation to perform
String operation = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Please enter which operation : ");
if(operation.equals("1")){
Addition.main(new String[]{});
else{
Multiplication5.main(new String[]{});

Issue with Merging two files in BPM
Hi,
I need to merge two files (Balance and transaction) with correlation is defined from ID, Date and Accountnumber..
Sometimes, when there are no transaction records, then balanace file will come up number "0"
Balance file:
MDk;1728;175;02.09.11;781961.09;0.00;0.00;781961.09;;;;;;;;;0
MDk;8574;175;02.09.11;4462;1112;104098800;104102150;;;;;;;;;2
from the above file, two accounts..
MDk;1728; --- with zero transaction record
MDk;8574; --- with two transaction records
Transaction file:
MDk;8574;175;02.09.11;;DEBIT;;;;;-1112;;0;02.09.11;;;;20555;;;037;
MDk;8574;175;02.09.11;;CREDIT;;;;;104098800;;0;02.09.11;;;;;;;099;
We are using Correlation to merge the files by using the fields (MDk;8574;175;02.09.11)
Now the issue is the BPM is not working as the correlation is not matching as the balance file consists of a row (with zero transaction record) which is not present in transaction file.
I have to ignore the first record in balance file as it contains 0 transaction data which means there are no records for this account in transaction file.
How can I delete those records before going to merge condition? Is there any thing i can do in balance file adapter?
Any suggestions please?
Thanks
DeepthiHi Ramesh,
This is the problem at the first step of the BPM where we will receive the files.
Start> FORK (Rec1 & Rec 2)>TransforMap( Merge_to_targetfile )-->SendtoReceiver -->END
It is failing at step1 (Fork), where the files are not matching according to correlation condition which we set.
ie. ID, Date, Accountnumber.
As the transaction file doesn't contain the record "MDk;1728;175;02.09.11" which is present in Balance file, the correlation is not matching. Hence it is failed. It is not even reaching to map
As correlation is mandatory to receive two matching files, it is failing here..
