Need help masking or hiding sensitive data in LDAP entries.

I am currently working on a schema for holding user account information
in LDAP. We are storing user SSN information as part of the custom
schema that we have created and need help hiding that data from people
who may be browsing the directory, either using the console or other
means. The end result we are trying to achieve is the same as the way
that the userPassword attribute is stored in the directory. When viewed
it appears as all asterisks but it can still be passed and read normally
elsewhere. If anyone has any information on how to do this it would be
greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Read the section in the manual on access control. Personally, if you have an
SQL database that contains information about individuals as well, you might
want to consider putting the SSNs in there and not in the directory for
security reasons. i.e. I just read a CERT advisory about buffer overflows in
the Beta version of iPlanet 5.0 (supposed to be fixed in the release
version) which basically means full system compromise. Personally, I would
not recommend putting SSNs in the directory at all if the directory is
accessible over the Internet. There's always security holes here and there
and I doubt that you want to leak this kind of information onto the
Internet.

Need help in laoding flat file data, which has \r at the end of a string

Hi There,
Need help in loading flat file data, which has \r at the end of a string.
I have a flat file with three columns. In the data, at the end of second column it has \r. So because of this the control is going to the beginning of next line. And the rest of the line is loading into the next line.
Can someone pls help me to remove escape character \r from the data?
thanks,

Have you looked into the sed linux command? here are some details:
When working with txt files or with the shell in general it is sometimes necessary to replace certain chars in existing files. In that cases sed can come in handy:
1 sed -i 's/foo/bar/g' FILENAME
The -i option makes sure that the changes are saved in the new file – in case you are not sure that sed will work as you expect it you should use it without the option but provide an output filename. The s is for search, the foo is the pattern you are searching the file for, bar is the replacement string and the g flag makes sure that all hits on each line are replaced, not just the first one.
If you have to replace special characters like a dot or a comma, they have to be entered with a backslash to make clear that you mean the chars, not some control command:
1 sed -i 's/./,/g' *txt
Sed should be available on every standard installation of any distribution. At lesat on Fedora it is even required by core system parts like udev.
If this helps, mark as correct or helpful.

Need help! Can't validate date overlaps for a tabular column

Hello all,
The validation I created to validate whether new or updates rows does not overlap with any records in the table isn't working.
The columns are StartDt and EndDt
Validation Type: NOT EXISTS
Validation expresion:
select 1
    from sample S
    WHERE S.STARTDT BETWEEN :STARTDT AND :ENDDT
OR(S.ENDDT BETWEEN :STARTDT AND :ENDDT)
or (S.STARTDT <= :STARTDT and S.ENDDT >= :ENDDT)
or (:STARTDT <= S.STARTDT and :ENDDT >= S.ENDDT)
Error Message:
Times overlap
When Buttons pressed
-Select Button-
The validation works if a new row or updated row overlaps any existing start and end date records but it doesn't work if I update startdate and end date rows that doesn't overlap existing date times
Example:
TABLE DISPLAYS THE FOLLOWING RECORDS
NAME                   START DATE                      END DATE
TEST                    1/1/2012                               12/31/2012
If I update the rows to the following values, I receive an error message (although those values don't overlap any records in the table)
NAME                   START DATE                      END DATE
TEST                    6/1/2012                               10/30/2012
Any ideas? Do I need to change my code?

Logic for date range overlap testing only requires two conditions in the WHERE clause:
ORACLE-BASE - Overlapping Date Ranges
WHERE S.STARTDT <= :ENDDT AND S.ENDDT >= :STARTDT -- TRUE for ranges that overlap
It looks a little odd, but, if you scribble out a 'logic table', it makes sense.
Condition
A.start <= B.end
A.end >= B.start
A__A B--B
true
false
A__B=A--B

Need help on: Automation of Daily Data Load

Hi all,
We need to start our Daily Data load from DAC by Manually. So right now my client has asked us to do Automation of Daily Data Load.
Starting the Daily Data Load Manually(DAC) Process: First we have to check whether the ASCP Plans updated or not
Right now we are checking whether the plans got updated or not, so for this we are using following query
SELECT LTrim(RTrim (compile_designator)),data_completion_date,TO_CHAR(data_completion_date ,'DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS') FROM apps.msc_plans
WHERE LTrim(RTrim (compile_designator))
in( 'Plan01,'Plan02','Plan03','Paln04') ORDER BY 2 desc
from this query we will able to see whether all the plans got updated or not. From all the Four Plans, two plans will get updated as of Sysdate(mm/dd/yyy) ,Timestamp(hh:mm:ss)(for example i.e. Plan01 08/25/2011 11:20:08 PM, Plan02 08/25/2011 11:45:06 PM) and rest two plans get updated on Sysdate+1(mm/dd/yyy), Timestamp(hh:mm:ss)(for example i.e. Plan03 08/26/2011 12:20:05 AM, Plan04 08/26/2011 12:45:08 AM)
So after checking the plans , we start the Daily Load in DAC manually.
May I know how should I convert my above sql query which I am using for checking the plans updated or not in informatica, so as to automate the Daily Load in informatica level..
Need help.

You cannot replicate what is done with DAC at Informatica level. DAC is a separate Oracle product that orchestrates and manages the ETL load (including Index management, etc). The reason Oracle developed DAC is because it allows you to manage a large scale DW load for a large ERP system. As suggested, you can invoke the DAC execution plan via a command but you cannot replicate everything the DAC does at Informatica level. If this helps, please mark as helpful.

Gurus...Need help....extract data from BKPF header table and BSEG line item

Gurus,
I have to write the logic to fetch data from bkpf and bseg. Need help on how can i do that..
I have to get bukrs belnr gjahr ldgrp from BKPF for a given date and company code. For all these documents, then i have to get the line items from BSEG if the ldgrp is I1 or SPACE.
If the ldgrp is not I1 or SPACE then i have to fetch the records from BSEG_ADD and then generate a ALV report with all the data including the data that was fetched from BKPF.
So, it wil be a combined ALV report that displays header as well as LINE item data together...
Can u please help me with the code...I am not sure how can everything go all together in one internal table....Becoz once its there in one table then only a ALV list can be generated.......
Cheers:
Sam

hi Sam, this may be of some similar thing.
Use this program, I got this prog from a source and we added a small conditional check in the program which checks document numbers in BSEG and also comapres in BKPF and sees if the output from BSEG falls under the posting data range specified in the initial selection.
Now just so you know, this output is kinda messed up, so you will have to play with it in Excel to extract the document numbers, if that is what you want.

Need help with code for adding dates to form

Hello forum goers
I'm new to making forms and figured out how to auto add the date, however I need the form to change the date for every copy made.
For example today is 06/08/2012 if I print 10 copies of the form it will output 10 pages ranging from 06/08/2012 to 06/17/2012. If code exists to do this I would be very gratefull to whoever helps, I also wouldn't mind if that is not possible for manually inputing the start / end dates.
Currently I print 15-30 copies of the form and hand write each of the dates but I'm just getting to busy to do that. I also cannot print one a day it must be in batches.
Thanks in advanced.

What you are asking for is more complex than just setting the current date. Each time the form prints it has to know that it has to change the date. I would suggest doing this.
First, setup a document level script to set the date to the current date. I suspect that you have already done this?
Next, Create a "DidPrint" document action to increment the date. To do this the script will need to scan the current text value of the date, add one day to it, and then reformat it. You'll find information on this type of scripting in these articles:
http://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/working-with-date-and-time-in-acrobat-javascr

ipt-part-2
http://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/working-with-date-and-time-in-acrobat-javascr
ipt-part-3
Since the increment happenes in the Did Print you will need to print each copy individually. If you enter 10 copies in the print dialog it won't work. You have to print one at a time. You can automate this activity with a console script.
One of the advantages of incrementing in the DidPrint is that you can also manually enter a date and it will increment from there.

[Urgent] Need help calculating difference between two dates

I'm trying to write a code to display the current day and time, then accept two dates from the user and display the difference between the two dates. To display the current date and time, I've used the SimpleDateFormatter library but I'm having difficulty calculating the difference between two dates. Could someone please help me with this?
Below is my code so far
import java.util.Date;
import java.util.Scanner;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
public class DateFormatter {
     public void displayNow()
          Date todaysDate = new Date();
          SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MMM-dd HH:mm:ss");
          String formattedDate = formatter.format(todaysDate);
          System.out.println("Today's date and time is: "+formattedDate);
     public void calculateDifference(Date startDate, Date endDate)
          /* This is whre i need help! */
     public static void main(String[] args)
          DateFormatter df = new DateFormatter();
          Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
          df.displayNow();
          System.out.println("Please enter a date: ");
          String date1 = sc.next();
          System.out.println("Please enter another date: ");
          String date2 = sc.next();
}The methods displayNow() and calculateDifference(Date startDate, Date endDate) are essential and cannot be skipped out.

Of course, it takes some time to learn what the intelligent questions are. You have my sympathy. Try asking questions about how to do a particular task, instead of asking people to tell you what to do. It starts to get easier after a while.
actually dude i started on this on monday.. but there were so many other stuff to do along with this.. and i did try referring up the Calendar utility but it was a bit confusing actually.. it was only after that did i come to this forum.. nor am i very good at Java.. anyhoo thanks for your sympathies :P

Need help with RANK() on NULL data

Hi All
I am using Oracle 10g and running a query with RANK(), but it is not returning a desired output. Pleas HELP!!
I have a STATUS table that shows the history of order status.. I have a requirement to display the order and the last status date (max). If there is any NULL date for an order then show NULL.
STATUS
ORD_NO | STAT | DT
1 | Open |
1 | Pending |
2 | Open |
2 | Pending |
3 | Open |1/1/2009
3 | Pending |1/6/2009
3 | Close |
4 | Open |3/2/2009
4 | Close |3/4/2009
Result should be (max date for each ORD_NO otherwise NULL):
ORD_NO |DT
1 |
2 |
3 |
4 |3/4/2009
CREATE TABLE Status (ORD_NO NUMBER, STAT VARCHAR2(10), DT DATE);
INSERT INTO Status VALUES(1, 'Open', NULL);
INSERT INTO Status VALUES(1, 'Pending', NULL);
INSERT INTO Status VALUES(2, 'Open', NULL);
INSERT INTO Status VALUES(2, 'Pending',NULL);
INSERT INTO Status VALUES(3, 'Open', '1 JAN 2009');
INSERT INTO Status VALUES(3,'Pending', '6 JAN 2009');
INSERT INTO Status VALUES(3, 'Close', NULL);
INSERT INTO Status VALUES(4, 'Open', '2 MAR 2009');
INSERT INTO Status VALUES(4, 'Close', '4 MAR 2009');
COMMIT;
I tried using RANK function to rank all the orders by date. So used ORDER BY cluse on date in descending order thinking that the null dates would be on top and will be grouped together by each ORD_NO.
SELECT ORD_NO, DT, RANK() OVER (PARTITION BY ORD_NO ORDER BY DT DESC)
FROM Status;
...but the result was something..
ORD_NO |DT |RANKING
*1 | | 1*
*1 | | 1*
*2 | | 1*
*2 | | 1*3 | | 1
3 |1/6/2009 | 2
3 |1/1/2009 | 3
4 |3/4/2009 | 1
4 |3/2/2009 | 2
I am not sure why didn't the first two ORD_NOs didn't group together and why ranking of 1 was assigned to them. I was assuming something like:
ORD_NO |DT |RANKING
*1 | | 1*
*1 | | 2*
*2 | | 1*
*2 | | 1*
3 | | 1
3 |1/6/2009 | 2
3 |1/1/2009 | 3
4 |3/4/2009 | 1
4 |3/2/2009 | 2
Please guide me if I am missing something here?

Urgent!!! Need help in file read/write data to a serial port

Hi,
I really need someone's help in order for me to complete my project. I have attached a vi which I have taken from an example and integrate to my project. In the vi, I have managed to get the encoder counts using Ni 9411. I need to read/write that data from ni9411 to ni9870 without using any serial port as they are connected to a NI 9104 chasis. May I know whether I am correct in writing the data to my ni9870 port using the vi I have attached? Does anyone know how i can convert the number of counts to a 8-bit data/byte so that I can send the data through the RS232 port? I really need someone's help as I need to finished in 2 weeks time.
I have also attached an vi on controlling the epos2 controller using instrument driver. Does anyone know how can i integrate this vi to the fpga vi (the one which I need to read/write data to 9870) as I need to send those data to control my epos2 controller.
Please help me!!!

Afai,
As I allready suggested you here, call your local NI Office and ask for assistance!
You really need assistence in a higher level that we can provide via the forums. Otherwise I don't see a chance for you to finish your project in time.
1. Convert I32 to U8 to write it to the 9870 could be done like this:
2. The vi to control the epos2.
There is NO way ( absolutely NO way) to port this vi to FPGA. It's based on VISA calls, uses an event-structure, both are not available at the FPGA.
The only thing you could do is to analyze the VI, the instruction set and design an FPGA vi which handles the specific instructions you would need.
I have no experience with epos2 and I'm not 100% sure if this would work as you would like to use it. And doing this needs deep knowledge of LabVIEW, VISA, Instrument Drivers, the epos hardware, FPGA programming, and so on...

Need help to upload Excel Chinese data into Oracle

Hello
I am very new at internationalization. We are writing an application that
reads Chinese data from a Microsoft Excel file and writes it out into Oracle
8i. This is what we have done:
1. Use JDBC-ODBC driver to read the Excel data directly from .xls.
2. Write data into oracle database.
When we open Excel, we can view the Chinese characters. When we use SQL
PLus, we see only ????. When we write another servlet to retrieve the data,
it is displayed as ????. The few questions I have are:
1. How can I verify that the Chinese data has been accurately inserted into
the database?
2. Do I need to set anything special (environment variables, config files
etc) in BEA Weblogic 5.1 and Oracle 8i?
The environment we have are:
1. BEA Weblogic SP9 running on WIn NT.
2. Oracle 8i running on Solaris.
Thanks

Make sure that the characters are correct in the app server after you get
them out of Oracle and before you put them into the web page. This will help
you determine if the problem is in the JDBC access to Oracle or the encoding
into the web page. Make sure that you verify that the hex values of each
character from the db test case are what you expect.

Hi Kev
1. "It doesn't work" means that I still see ??? in the database. WHen I
retrieve the data, it is still displayed as ??? in a browser.
2. Codeset to use to display should be UTF-8.
3. Charset in database server is UTF8. I did a "select * from
database_parameters" to get this value.
4. I copied the Chinese characters from Excel and pasted on Notepad. Icould
see the Chinese characters with the Chinese emulator turned on. WHen Icopy
??? from SQL*Plus and paste it into notepad, I see ???.
Presume:
1. Yes, running SQL*PLUS on BEA machine.
2. BEA machine running on WIndows 200 professional. We downloaded aChinese

Hi Bernard,
Please first clarify:-
1) "It doesn't work" means... cannot display the chinese character as
you
desired?
2) Which codeset that you want it to display, Chinese traditional big5?UTF-8,
i would think it's still in Java/JDBC codeset.
3) What's the charset in the database server? Get help from DBA if you
not
sure
how to obtain this information.
4) Try paste the result(select via SQL*Plus) onto Win Notepad, what's
the
outcome?
Presume:
1) you're running SQL*Plus on your BEA machine?
2) BEA machine is running on Chinese O/S or hv NJStar installed andrunning?
Let me know if i could be of further help.

Hi Bernard,
I take about the same approach as you while resolving codeset
problem.
So,
first
i make sure SQL*Plus could display my desired result before proceedto
application(be
it Swing, servlet, JSP console etc..). You may try set the NLS_LANGon
your client
machine(same machine as where you run SQL*Plus) to the SAME as

character set, for instance America_American.US7ASCII. You should
able
to
see

Hope this help with your first question. I can't help for the restanyway.

Need help migrating Mail/iCal/Address data from 10.3 to 10.7

Hi, I'm helping a relative migrate from an 8-year old iMac (10.3.9) to a new one running Lion. Mostly it's going to be a clean sweep app-wise, but we need to move iCal, Mail and Address Book data across. Of course, these apps have changed a fair bit in across the last 4 'full' versions of OS X, and the folder structures within the user library no longer match between machines. Can anyone advise me what to copy and what to junk? I appreciate this is a bit of a vague question, but that's the situation. Any help much appreciated. Thanks.

The webtogo was dropped in 11.x. so the URL has changed. This is one of those situations which needs to be handled by support. Have you filed a request with support yet?
thanks

Need help in getting process form data

Hi,
We have one IT resource type definition say SSH. We have number of IT resources-abc,xyz of same type-SSH .
When user gets provisioned to this resource, then in the resource profile, we can see resource name as SSH. In the process form of SSH we can see the IT resource name -abc,xyz
Now the requirement is I need this IT resource name from process forom of SSH. I have written one java code which sends out an email to application owner when this SSH resource is revoked. But I need to show the IT resource name-abc,xyz in the email to application owners.
Can anybody help to get the process form data?
Thanks,
Kalpana.

yes, add new attribute to the process form and populate using adapter find below code
public long getITResource(String itResource) {
          long returnValue = 0;
          String methodName = "getITResource";
          try {
               tcITResourceInstanceOperationsIntf tcITResourceIntf = (tcITResourceInstanceOperationsIntf)Platform.getService(tcITResourceInstanceOperationsIntf.class);
               HashMap<String, String> map = new HashMap<String, String>();
               map.put("IT Resources.Name", itResource);
               tcResultSet resultSet = tcITResourceIntf
                         .findITResourceInstances(map);
               if (resultSet.getRowCount() <= 0) {
                    logger.error(className, methodName,
                              "Following IT Resource not fetched:" + map);
                    throw new Exception("IT Resource not fetched");
               resultSet.goToRow(0);
               logger.info(className, methodName, "ITResource determined.");
               // Got the result
               returnValue = resultSet.getLongValue("IT Resources.Key");
               tcITResourceIntf.close();
               ops.closeUtilityObject();
               return returnValue;
          } catch (Exception e) {
               logger.error(className, methodName, e.getMessage());
               return returnValue;
pass itResource name as literal in adapter. If it is 10g use tcUtilityFactory instead of Platforml.getService

Need help trying to "include Vector Data" when saving as an EPS? Anyone?

Although I have done this many times before, I cannot seem to figure out why the check box "include vector data" is greyed out. I am working in CMYK - I have placed my corporate logo as a smart object as usual - and none of my layers have effects applied. Scratching my head right now. This is a large format poster so I will definately need to resolve this somehow. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Mike Ornellas wrote:
You have to have a layer with a vector mask applied to it for the feature to show up.
Or live text or a clipping path.
Copy the logo from Illustrator to Photoshop. When asked, say you want a Shape Layer (I forget the exact wording). If the logo must be more than one colour, duplicate the layer for each additional colour and, on each layer, delete all path segments that are not needed for that particular colour. Group the layers in a folder for easy moving and scaling.
And why are you using EPS format? Is there a reason you aren't using the far superior in every way Photoshop PDF format?

Need help with a Context Sensitive Help project

Hey everyone,
I'm the RoboHelp administrator around here - I've done some
RoboHelp projects and created the procedures, stylesheets and
templates for our company's WebHelp, WinHelp 2000, and JavaHelp
projects, but now I'm sort of the consultant for the content
authoring team that creates the help systems. I think I need to
call in some help from the forum about a project I'm consulting on.
Here's the situation: A project team here thinks they want
field-level help to support a web-based application. I've told them
"That's fine, it's possible, just don't demand that the help author
create topics for EVERY field, even the obvious ones like "Name",
"Address", "Zip", etc, since there is very, very little value in
doing that." We already have a very old help system that is being
CONVERTED to WinHelp 2000 (from a "mocked-up" version of WinHelp)
that did just that - every field in every screen was a separate
topic, even if it wasn't useful. Every topic was essentially "This
information goes in this field". As a result, we abandoned creating
an Index, since we had about 27 entries for "Name", 13 for
"Address1", 15 for "Address2", etc.
Well, I just heard back yesterday that they totally ignored
my suggestion and they want to go ahead with the "all help for all
fields" idea. I still think I have a chance of convincing them to
choose context-sensitive topics wisely, if it can present my case
clearly and be persuasive. I just found John Daigle's article about
context sensitive help (
http://www.macromedia.com/devnet/robohelp/articles/context_help.html)
and I'm looking at it now (very well done, by the way - thanks
John!). It looks like, from first glance, that it might convince
that project team that "Whoa, this context-sensitive thing is more
than we bargained for", which is what I want them to think, since
they have very limited resources and a help author that is VERY new
to RoboHelp and WebHelp. I personally have never built a
context-sensitive help project with different windows, but I have
built several projects using conditional builds.
What does everyone think of this approach?
Thanks,
Jim

Here's a nice, convincing argument that I just thought of -
the only thing wrong with it is that I don't know if it's true or
not.
Does the end user's browser cache the .htm files for the help
topics that are grabbed from the server? If so, consolidating the
field definitions lessens the server traffic.
(Always get the server guys on your side - everywhere I've
worked, they wield a big stick!)
Also, I'm a big believer in functional help topics, but I
have compromised for some clients and included one-per-screen
conditional topics with the field labels. John, I wish I had known
about the map numbering trick back then - I would have loved to
give them F1 help.

Need help to implement a small data warehouse or datamart

Hi all,
we want to improve our reporting activities, we have 3 production and relational oracle databases and we want to elaborate 1 database as reporting database with historized and aggregated data responding to our reporting needs.
The database we are using are oracle database 10g.
actually we still are doing query to retrieve informations from databases for reporting purpose, but fropm inetrnet search i know that we can implement datamart or datawarehouse to group all aggregated information for reporting.
The information i need are: is there a tools in Oracle for Datawarehousing, Is Oracle Warehouse Builder is the right tools as the sources of our data are all from Oracle database and some flat files.
Could yo advise what i'm going to use for that kind of reporting needs, can i use Oracle warehosue builder to develop ETL ...
Do i need license to use Oracle Warehose Builder
Thanks,

As simple answer to all your questions: YES
Yes, Oracle warehouse builder could be a tool to use.
Yes, Orace warehouse builder needs a license.
Besides that you also need a license for that extra Database.
if you already have that, and you have the queries with which you now retrieve data, you can always choose the cheap way and build materialized views with these queries.
Keep in mind however that a materialized view ( of snapshot ) does not support inline selects.
