Moving nonXML flatfiles; straight txt and pdf

Hello All,
I am relatively new to PI.  We are being forced to migrate from "old" technology to PI for the movement of files from one location to another.  There files are either nonXML; meaning they are just files of data... variable in width (meaning 1 file may be 600 characters per line but another may be 10,000 characters per line.  The number of lines can vary as well.  We also must move pdf documents generated from ECC to another location.
I am able to move a file via FTP that is bound got the Mail Adapter, but this is in an XML format.  Can you point me in the right direction on how to accomplish this?
Thank you.
Rich

  • Can't Edit .txt and .pdf files in EP6 KM

    We just migrated our last application from EP5 to EP6, and now we're having problems with not being able to edit .txt and .pdf files.  The problem is that the files will only open in the browser rather than in their native programs (wordpad/notepad, Adobe Editor, etc).  Surely others have encountered this issue.  Are there any solutions short of installing 3rd party tools?

    Hi Jeff,
    Which program opens on a link depends on two things:
    1. The MIME-Type that is sent from the server together with the resource (file) you requested by clicking a link
    2. Your Windows Setting defining which local application should be used for which MIME Type.
    So there may be two things happening:
    1. EP 6 is sending other (or no) MIME Types with the KM resources. You can check this in your KM configuration. See KM -> Services -> MIME Service
    2. Your OS got the settings for apps/MIMEs changed. This happens e.g. if you changed on Win XP to SP 2.
    So here may be a solution:
    Go to Windows Explorer->Tools->Folder
    Options->File Types, click on the TXT extention, and click
    "Delete".  Then proceed to recreate the TXT file type with the
    default app you want (notepad). 
    IE will open your app (notepad) for links to text files from that point
    on.
    So, to check this for text files, open the registry editor, go to
    "My Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.txt" (or .TXT), and check for a 'String
    Value' with the value "text/plain".
    This should work with any file type, as long as you use the right MIME Type (See KM configuration / MIME Services).
    HTH,

    my Macbook Pro (OSX 10.6.7 2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo) has started misbehaving on me. When I'm working, the cursor will start spontaneously moving to the in a straight line, and randomly right clicking on things.
    If I close the computer and open it back up, it sometimes stops for a little while, then will spontaneously start again. Any help would be truly appreciated. Thanks!

    See this knowledge base article. Also, you might want to update to 10.6.8 (don't know that that will fix your problem, but it's the latest version of Snow Leopard).

  • How do I convert .txt to .pdf and keep the formatting

    I have a large .txt file that I would like to convert to .pdf.  I have tried to print the file and choose Adobe PDF but the output is just a mess.  I loose all the formatting and get blank pages every so often.  Does anyone know if is possible to convert .txt to .pdf and keep the formatting.  I would try a virtual printer application but I am not able to just install any application on my office computer.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    It may be a bit late for you now but in future (and for anyone else interested) I would recommend copying the text into a word document and changing the text font to Consolas. Adjust the size to fit the page again and it should match the original notepad formatting.

    Thanks

    1.  Can't do that.
    2.  Get memory card and save the document to it from your PC. When the memory card is in the BlackBerry you can access it just like a USB thumb drive via Windows.

  • I am having the problem when trying to take a panorama picture.   It may only take the first frame or doesn't even start at all when I press the shutter button. even though when i  hold the phone straight up and down, so that camera is at the top

    I am having the problem when trying to take a panorama picture. 
    It may only take the first frame or doesn't even start at all when I press the shutter button.
    even though when i  hold the phone straight up and down, so that camera is at the top on the back and the home button is on the bottom on the front.
    This problem is irritating me....?

    To take panorama
    - ensure that the panorama option is on
    - press the shutter button once
    - you will see a line with an arrow
    - move around in a circle  ( I keep the camera steady and turn myself around in a circle)
    - as you do this you will see the arrow moving across the screen as it captures pictures
    - at the end of the capture, you will be able to see your panorama picture
    I hope that this helps, do report back.

  • Viewing word docs and PDFs

    I want to put word docs or PDFs on my touch. I read that I can save the word docs as PDF and put it in photos or save them as txt and put them in notes, but my computer recognizes my touch as a camera and won't let me drop things in the root folder. I already did the thing where I tell my computer not to ask me what to do with the camera when I connect it, but it still thinks it's a camera. Is there anything I can do to make this work?

    Your touch is not a disk drive per se like the old iPod classics or nanos and therefore you won't be dropping anything into it. You can certainly view Word documents and pdfs that are e-mailed to you, however. You can use WiFi to copy files to your touch if you purchase and install the correct apps. Check in the App Store for Documents to Go and similar programs.
    Disabling the camera notification is detailed here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1500
    This covers Win 7 and Vista but there is a link to an XP version.

  • Attaching Word and PDF files in Mail without preview in the middle of a message

    I am using Mail but often attaching Word docs and PDFs. Word attachments appear as small icons, but PDFs as preview and usually in the middle of the message. Can I attach PDFs as small icons and not in the middle  of a message? Having just moved to Mac from PC I am missing the tidyness of Outlook, but if you can help me I'll persist.

    I found this solution in a previous thread:
    1. Open Terminal (Applications > Utilities > Terminal)
    2. copy and paste this line after the $:
    defaults write com.apple.mail DisableInlineAttachmentViewing -bool yes
    3. hit return
    4. you may need to restart Mail for the change to take effect, it worked for me without restarting Mail.
    5. to change it back you would do
    defaults write com.apple.mail DisableInlineAttachmentViewing -bool false

  • I am having the same problem I think.  With mobileme you simply copy documents to the idisk folder and then synch.  I cannot seem to sink that folder anymore.  Any idea as to how I can simply copy folders to icloud and then access the MS Word and PDF file

    I am having the same problem I think.  With mobileme you simply copy documents to the idisk folder and then synch.  I cannot seem to sink that folder anymore.  Any idea as to how I can simply copy folders to icloud and then access the MS Word and PDF files on my iphone?

    Apple never bopthered to explain that this would happen
    Your iDisk is still accessible after moving to iCloud in exactly the same way as before. Nothing is deleted until June 30th 2012.
    , so I could easily have lost ALL of the files I kept on iDisk.
    No, you couldn't. Firstly, nothing was deleted from your iDisk. Secondly, any files stored on your iDisk should never be your only copy. Even if your iDisk spontaneously combusted, you should keep local backups elsewhere.
    Does Apple WANT people to move their storage elsewhere and stop paying Apple for it?
    Yes. Apple doesn't provide such a service anymore, nor are you paying them for it.
    Apple has made no effort to suggest remedies for the problem it has given iDisk users
    They've provided instructions on how to download your files from your iDisk. What you do with them after that is your choice.

  • IWeb doesn't show JPEGs and PDFs after move to new computer.

    I bought a new Mac mini (running OS X 10.8.2), moved all files from the old one, installed the most recent Domain.sites file from the old computer into the new computer's User/Library/Application Support/iWeb, but now iWeb opens with all embedded .jpg and .pdf files missing and a long list of "missing file" error messages appearing on startup. All of the .html, .png, .gif, .css and .js files appear to be working O.K. Everything in the "Sites" folder is unchanged since iWeb worked perfectly in the old computer. What can I do to fix this?

    Version 1.1.2. I didn't realize until you asked and I checked, that iWeb has been discontinued and I must have transferred my version over from my old computer along with all the other applications. I see I can still buy an old CD version of iLife '09 from third-party vendors that includes iWeb '09, which is presumably version 3.0 and upgradable to 3.0.4 -- near as I can tell the last version before the program went out of production. Evidently iWeb 1.1.2 has compatibility issues with OS X Mountain Lion? I don't want to buy iWeb '09 (the other components of iLife '09 are useless, since 2012 versions were shipped with OS X 10.8) unless I can get some assurance it will work with my existing files. I have RapidWeaver 4.4.2 but I don't have time to recreate everything from scratch. It's frustrating that there's evidently no way to export all the work I've put into my iWeb website over the years into a form that can be edited using other web design software. Or is there? I bought RapidWeaver expecting to be able to open and edit my iWeb files. It's all HTML and JavaScript, isn't it? Why aren't all my files interchangeable between web design programs?

  • Can't read txt or pdf files?

    I've been unsuccessfully trying to view these two most popular text files on my iPod touch. I thought that considering the size of the screen as well as ebook capability, formats like pdf and txt would surely be supported. Is it just me? Maybe I can't find the right option in the itunes or ipod itself, but itunes says ipod can't read this kind of file, while ipod's safari says it can't read the file when I try to download a .txt via Wi-Fi. What am I doing wrong? Do I need some additional software for this?

    I answered too soon!
    I didn't read your question fully.
    Your question should be: How do I get pdf and text files onto my iPod touch to read. I've tried iTunes and it does not work.
    The answer I gave is correct and will solve your problem.
    - email it to yourself and read i Mail (not the best solution).
    - Download the free version of EverNote from the App store and download the version for your computer, Drag the txt or pdf into a new note in EverNote on your desktop and sync to the cloud (as they say) and open the EverNote app on your iPod and sync
    - Do the same with SugarSync or DropBox (you need desktop and iPod versions of both, both free)
    - text files can be put in memos in Outlook and synced with Notes on your iPod
    There are other apps -- Phoneview, for example -- that will also help.
    I'd use... wait. I DO use .. EverNote

  • Timesheet Application And PDF Printing

    Hi,
    I demo'd the time sheet application from the apex server and the management team here really liked it so I moved to our machine here and when i try the pdf printing i get the following error

    The requested URL /dev/apex/f was not found on this server.
    Oracle-Application-Server-10g/10.1.2.0.0 Oracle-HTTP-Server Server at 10.144.55.241 Port 80
    I dont have access to the back end and wouldn't know what to do anyway so before i get the DBA here to investigate the setup is there some variable that I have to change in the app or do I have to get the DBA to follow sets 4 and 5 on the PDF Printing in Application Express 3.0 page

    Hello,
    Yes you have to do steps 4 or 5, those set up the servers that do the actual PDF rendering.
    It's not as hard as it looks, at least if you are just setting it up for demo purposes.
    There have been several links on setting up BI Publisher , there is a screencast of setup up FOP on OC4J
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/html/fop_war_viewlet_swf.html
    and I have this screencast that shows setting up Cocoon to do the PDF rendering.

  • When saving files from the internet, why doesn't Firefox 'know' to put .jpg files in "Photos" and pdf files in "Documents"?

    When saving files from the internet, why doesn't Firefox 'know' to put .jpg files in "Photos" and pdf files in "Documents"? IE always saved photos in the "Photos" file and documents in the "Documents" file. Firefox makes me choose every time. Very annoying.

    How about if Firefox is programmed like IE in this ONE thing...
    When saving files from internet sources, if the file ends in a typical photo extension such as .jpg, .bmp, .tif etc. it defaults to save it in your PHOTOS folder.
    When saving anything like a .doc, .pdf etc. it defaults to save it to your DOCUMENTS.
    You could still change it to 'desktop' if that if really where you want all your photos and documents... or some other folder that you decide, but DEFAULTS to the LOGICAL folder.
    I have carpal tunnel SO bad that even typing this suggestion is painful and having to make the extra click along with moving the mouse EVERY time I want to save something is painful.
    ALSO, I shouldn't need a bunch of ADDONS to accomplish this. I tried downloading one and it did nothing. The problem still exists.

    Hi Email_user_02,
    Thanks for the post and welcome to the forum.  I am very sorry to hear you have been locked out of your email account.
    If I had to speculate as to what has happened I would think that when the home move order was placed your email address was not moved to your new account.  If your email is not linked to a broadband account or premium mail then the message you are receiving would be correct.  However its clear that this is our fault and I am really sorry about this. This is something that I can sort out.
    Can you please get your details off to me in an email?  Just click on my username, (SeanD) and you will find the 'Mods contact link' under the 'About me' section of my profile.  Once I have your details I will be able to confirm what has happened but more importantly I will ensure that nothing happens with this email address.
    Cheers
