ODI - refresh a variable from a file field

Hi,
Is it possible to refresh directly a ODI variable from value stored in a file ? I find a workaround by loading the file into a temp table, and then make a variable refresh, but this solution is not good for me.
Any other idea ?
Thanks,
JP

Populate a table from a file field

hi guys im having headaches acheiving this, basically what i want is the following
A user can use a file field to browse for a file. Once selected the value will display in the file text field.
Then i want an add button that when clicked will add the file location to a string variable and display it in a table below. every time a new file is added the table should update.
Finally on submit all file names should be submitted so that i can use them on another page using getattribute.
I cant get it to work any help would be appreciated.

yeah, sorry basically ive created a jsp page and
inserted the file field and its browsing but im a bt
stumped as to what to do from there.Whatever it is you have to do, I doubt it has anything to do with Java. I think IE lets you edit a table tag on the fly using Javascript, but otherwise I'm pretty sure you're hosed. Use a text area instead. And go ask at a Javascript forum.

Movie refuses to load variables from text file

Hi,
I'm sure you can solve my newbie problem in less than 1
minute...
I'm pulling my hair out on a template I bought 2 days ago
from templatemonster.com
I am using Flash 8 Pro.
All I want to do is change an existing textfield that is
Static to Dynamic and load variables from a text file.
The Action Script I use to do so comes directly from
Macromedia documentation (see attached)
It works fine when I create a brand new movie, but doesn't do
anything when inserted into the template.
It doesn't even complain about not finding the text file if I
rename or delete it!
Here are the FLA and text file:
Edit : Link to source file removed
The textfield I would like to change is in the txt2 symbol.
Here is how I proceed:
When I open HEADER.FLA, Flash tells me I'm missing a font,
ok, so I click on Use Default, I'll deal with this later.
I open up the Movie Explorer, go to Layer 30, go to Frame 75
and click once on txt2
I name the instance "myMovie_mc" and save (converts from
Flash MX to Flash 8)
I double-click on the Movie Clip, select the word
"Automobile" on the Stage, change from Static to Dynamic and call
that instance "myText_txt"
Still in the Movie Clip, I create a new layer I call
"actions", and in Frame 1 I copy the attached Action Script:
This script works when I create a new flash file, but it does
absolutely nothing in this template.
I know I'm doing something wrong, but I wonder what?
Many thanks to any helping soul!
Ferris.

try this:
// Load text as variable and assign it to the
// dynamic text field
var features_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
features_lv.onLoad = onText();
features_lv.load("safetyFeatures.txt");
function onText(success:Boolean) {
if (success) {
myText_txt.text = features_lv.safetyfeatures;
} else {
myText_txt.text = "unable to load text file.";
or this
// Load text as variable and assign it to the
// dynamic text field
var features_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
features_lv.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {
myText_txt.text = features_lv.safetyfeatures;
} else {
myText_txt.text = "unable to load text file.";
features_lv.load("safetyFeatures.txt");

Problem accessing variables from java file to JSP page

......How are you declaring the class in your JSP? ... are you instantiating it as a bean using the useBean tag, or just instantiating it in your code like normal.
Maybe you could post the relevant JSP code too?
Hello again,
Only the last string is populating after the file has be tokenized. What I'll like to accomplish is passing the very first string in the file. I did not get too far in the JSP file setup because the code is still in it's testing stage, but any help will be highly appreciated.
Here is the JSP code
<%@page import="dev.*" %>
<%@page session="true" language="java" import="java.io.*" %>
<jsp:useBean id="wagerhist" scope="request" class="dev.RoundDetail2" />
<html>
<head>
<title>Round Detail</title>
<body>
<table width="530" bordercolor="#000000" valign="top">
    <tr>
          <td align="left" width="19%">Game ID<%=wagerhist.string_gameID%></td>
          <td align="left" width="30%"> </td>
          <td align="left" width="20%">card1</td>
          <td align="left" width="31%"> </td>
        </tr>
</table>

Creating Variables From Text File

Hello a little new to powershell and have banging my head on the wall trying to get this working.
I have a text file (where the numbers of lines will change everytime) that will contain AD groups.
Lets say it looks like this
GroupA
GroupB
GroupC
I'm trying to you a loop that will read the file and output each new line to a variable so
var1=GroupA
Var2 =GroupB
Var3=Groupc
My first problem is that non of these can be null since this will be then be used with Add-ADgroupmemeber
So I have it get the number of items with $Items = get-content *File* | Measure-Object -Line
After that I have been trying to use a loop which to me looks like it should work however is not. I'm not getting any errors. However I'm not getting any created variables either.
For ($i=1; $i -lt $Items.lines; $i++) {
$var[$i] = (Get-Content *File*)[$i-1]
write-host $var[$i]}
In my head I should get a listed of each line of the txt file but I'm getting nothing.
In the end I was hoping to doing something along the lines of ADD-Adgroupmember -identity $Var[$i] -members *Machine Name*
If there is a better way to approach this I'm all ears.
Thanks for any help!

You don't need a loop to read each line from the file. You don't need a variable for each group read from the file.
For example, if your file looks like:
GroupA
GroupB
GroupC
with spaces/empty lines in it, that you wish to ignore, you can use:
$Groups = Get-Content .\groups2.txt | % { ($_.split(" ",[System.StringSplitOptions]::RemoveEmptyEntries)) }
The $Groups variable will be an array that holds non-empty lines from the file. You can use that directly as in:
foreach ($Group in (Get-Content .\groups2.txt | % { ($_.split(" ",[System.StringSplitOptions]::RemoveEmptyEntries)) })) {
Add-ADGroupMember -identity $Group -members *Machine Name*

Refresh a variable from several schemas

Is it possible to refresh a variable with data from multiple schemas?
If not, what are the workarounds? The only one I see (apart from dblinking) is to use two variables, refreshing one before refreshing the other.

hmm..I can think of making the schema as dynamic that is put a variable in place of the schema name in your data server. Same thing for physical schema and take a specific logical schema for this. Now in your package refresh the same variable which will hold the schema name. So in run time this value will be substituted there.
Test it and let me know.

Loading variable from a file in 7.0 Queries

Hi All,
When we run BW 3.x queries through RRMX, we get option to load the variables values via import from file means loading the variables values from a file. Do we have this option available in case of 7.0 queries also as 7.0 queries directly run on portal.
I know via RSRT, i have that option available for 7.0 queries as well.
Thanks in advance.

Loading Variable from a file in BI 7.0 queries

Hi,
In 7.0 it is not possible to load directly from a flat file when you run the query in the portal. However, I don't think it was an option in 3.x either. In het analyzer, both 3.x and 7.0 have that option, only the copy paste functionallity is gone in 7.0, you have to use a flatfile now. Also, in 7.0 portal you can add indivual values for a variable sperated by a ; sign. So you can use excel to create a ; seperated csv file and copy and paste from that.
Kind regards,
Alex

How to handle comma separated values in OLE DB Source query for a parameter variable from XML file in SSIS

Hi,
I am using OLE DB Source to fetch the records with Data Access Mode as SQL COMMAND which is using the below query with a parameter,
SELECT CON.Title,CON.FirstName,EMP.MaritalStatus,EMP.Gender,EMP.Title AS Designation, EMP.HireDate, EMP.BirthDate,CON.EmailAddress, CON.Phone
from HumanResources.Employee EMP INNER JOIN Person.Contact CON ON EMP.ContactID=CON.ContactID WHERE EMP.Title in (?)
In this query for the parameter I am passing the value from a variable and which is configured (XML Configuration). While passing value
Buyer it works correctly. But while passing values Accountant,Buyer
it is not working as expected.
How to handle while passing such multiple values Or is it possible to pass such values or not in SSIS 2012 ?
Kindly help me to find a solution.
NOTE: I placed the whole query in a variable as a expression as below it is working fine.
"select CON.Title,CON.FirstName,EMP.MaritalStatus,EMP.Gender,EMP.Title AS Designation,EMP.HireDate,EMP.BirthDate,CON.EmailAddress,CON.Phone from HumanResources.Employee EMP
INNER JOIN Person.Contact CON ON EMP.ContactID=CON.ContactID WHERE EMP.Title in ('" + REPLACE(@[User::temp],",","','") +"')"
Any other solution is there ? without placing the query in a variable. May be a variable can have some limitations for no. of characters stored not sure just a thought.
Sridhar

Putting the whole thing into a variable is certainly a valid solution. The other involves putting the comma delimited list into a table valued variable.

ODI variable refresh from a file

In one of the the threads in the past I read some tips about how to refresh a variable from a flat file. I have some information in a flatfile which I need as a variable.
Now I am reading the flat file into a SQL table and then refreshing it into the variable. I guess we can do this in one step. I am sure I read blog something about it. If anyone aware of the thread can you send the link.
Thanks

Pass a Value to Variable from the unix environment in ODI (ELT)

i want know how to pass a value to variables in oracle data integrator from unix environment.

Work Around !
You can execute OS commands using Jython script. Probably you need to flush your enviornment variables value into a file using jython script and then read those value into ODI variable from the file.
BUt may I know why you want to read environment variable vaules in ODI, Dont you think this will make your application less portable

How do I assign an ODI variable from an Open Tool?

I'm writing an open tool (a custom tool to use in my ODI flows - a java class that implements oracle.odi.sdk.opentools.IOpenTool
). I need to perform a complex calculating in the java Open Tool and 'export' a value back into the ODI world. Idealy, it would be great if I could set a variable in ODI (from within the java world).
Is this possible?
If anyone knows the answer, or another way to do this (that might not be as ideal, but works all the same) please let me know.
Matt.

Matt
It is not possible to directly populate an ODI variable, but what you can do is to put the result value into a memory engine table/column, and then to refresh the variable from there. As it is all in-memory, it is fast.

How to load variables from a .txt file

Hi.
I usually make a flash aplication in colaboration with a php
programmer. But i want to test my swfs without having to wait for
him. So i want to do that through a text file. I know that flash
can load variables from text files. The problem is i don't know how
to format the text file ( example.txt).
Thank you

Here's a couple of ideas.
First you probably want to change what you have...and put
your 'if (pVar==1' etc inside a separate function and call it from
the onLoad handler after you have assigned the value to pVar...
because the onLoad will run at some unknown point in time after
loading has finished (actually in the test environment this might
work... but that wouldn't be the same as what happens in a
production setting).
To create test files for loadvars... simply create a new as2
file and put this code on the first frame and test movie:

Php - get name from 'file field' and pass to database?

Is it possible to extract the 'image' name from the 'file' field and insert it into a database using php?
<input type="file" name="ImageName" id="ImageName">
I can't have:
$ImageName = trim($_FILE['ImageName']);
So hows this handled?

I'm trying to manipulate David Powers PHP Solutions chapter 6 - Uploading Files.
He's got some sort of complicated function going on which makes sure no two images which are uploaded to a folder have the same name. i.e., london.jpg becomes london_1.jpg. (the php even inserts underscores if there are gaps in the image name)
If I just use $ImageName = $_FILES["ImageName"]["name"]; potentially I could end up with dozens of images with the same name in the database, which is NOT desirable.
Of course I could simplyfy everything and use two forms - 1 for uploading the images to the upload folder and then one for inserting the images details into the database BUT that has the drawback of the client needing to type in the name of the image identically to match the name which has been generated in the upload folder and that aint gonna happen in a million years

Sharing variable among different file

How to set value to a variable from different file.I can not use interface because interface make everything as final.Is there any other way to set number of variables from more than one file?

I guess you want to declare the variable in one class and change the value of the variable in another class. If I am correct, try the following
public class First {
        public int a = 10;
//TODO
public class Second {
     private First firstObject = null;
     public void changeValue() {
           if(firstObject == null) {
               firstObject = new First();
               firstObject.a = 30;
}
