Open .udl File

Hello,
I'm trying to open an .udl file to use the third line as the connection
string in the LabSQL. Using the notepad I get this information from the
file:
[oledb]
; Everything after this line is an OLE DB initstring
Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;Integrated Security=SSPI;Persist Security Info=False;User ID=selco;Initial Catalog=selco;Data Source=STM
But if I use Labview to open the file I get something like this:
[ o l e d b ]
; E v e r y t h i n g a f t e r t h i
s l i n e i s a n O L E D B i n i t
s t r i n g
P r o v i d e r = S Q L O L E D B . 1 ; I n t e g r a t e d
S e c u r i t y = S S P I ; P e r s i s t   S e c u r i t
y   I n f o = F a l s e ; U s e r   I D = s e l c o
; I n i t i a l   C a t a l o g = s e l c o
; D a ta   S o u r c e = S T M
In the attachment I have included the source code and the .udl. The files missing are just the LabSQL VIs.

How to use UDL file in Powershell script?

Hello Scripting Guys,
I have a VBScript that works great for connecting to an Oracle DB using a .UDL file. Here is the important part of the script:
Set dataconnect = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
Path= "File name=C:\UDLs\TEST.udl"
dataconnect.ConnectionString = Path
dataconnect.open
Set oCmd = CreateObject("ADODB.Command")
oCmd.ActiveConnection = dataconnect
oCmd.CommandText = "SYSTEM.JOB.INSERT_JOB"
oCmd.CommandType = 4
set oParam = oCmd.CreateParameter("job_name_val")
oParam.type = 200
oParam.direction = 1
oParam.size = 255
oParam.value = job_name
oCmd.Parameters.Append oParam
set oParam = oCmd.CreateParameter("description")
oParam.type = 200
oParam.direction = 1
oParam.size = 4000
oParam.value = descrip
oCmd.Parameters.Append oParam
set oParam = oCmd.CreateParameter("status_val")
oParam.type = 200
oParam.direction = 1
oParam.size = 50
oParam.value = status
oCmd.Parameters.Append oParam
oCmd.Execute
As you can see, it creates "ADODB.Connection" and "ADODB.Command" objects. Everything works as intended here.
Now, I'm trying to convert this VBScript to a Powershell script.
Here's what I have so far with my PowerShell Script (non-working, but no errors):
$job_name = $args[0]
$status = $args[1]
$descrip = $args[2]
write-host "Job Name = " $job_name
write-host "Status = " $status
write-host "Description = " $descrip
#Create an object of type: ADODB class: Connection
$objConn = New-Object -com "ADODB.Connection"
#Create Connection String
$connString = "File name=C:\UDLs\TEST.udl"
#Open the connection
$objConn.open($connString)
#Command Object
$oCmd = New-Object -com "ADODB.Command"
#Assign DB connection To Command
$oCmd.ActiveConnection = $objConn
#Set Command text
$oCmd.CommandText = "SYSTEM.JOB.INSERT_JOB"
#Set Command Type
$oCmd.CommandType = 4
#Create parameter list For Command
#Job name Parameter
$oParam1 = $oCmd.CreateParameter("job_name_val")
$oParam1.type = 200
$oParam1.direction = 1
$oParam1.size = 255
$oParam1.value = $job_name
#Append parameter list
$oCmd.Parameters.Append($oParam1)
#Description Parameter
$oParam2 = $oCmd.CreateParameter("description")
$oParam2.type = 200
$oParam2.direction = 1
$oParam2.size = 4000
$oParam2.value = $descrip
#Append parameter list
$oCmd.Parameters.Append($oParam2)
#Status Parameter
$oParam3 = $oCmd.CreateParameter("status_val")
$oParam3.type = 200
$oParam3.direction = 1
$oParam3.size = 50
$oParam3.value = $status
#Append parameter list
$oCmd.Parameters.Append($oParam3)
#Command Execution
$oCmdX = $oCmd.Execute
write-host $oCmdX
#Cleanup
#Set parameters = To NULL
$oParam1 = $null
$oParam2 = $null
$oParam3 = $null
#Set Command = To NULL
$oCmd = $null
#Close DB object
$objConn.Close()
So, not too many changes with the syntax, but it doesn't actually send the ADODB Command to the Database. I have also tried hardcoding the connection string, but no luck there either. Am I not using the right syntax with the Command object? I am fairly new
to both of these languages, so I appreciate any help/suggestions you can offer!
Thank you,
Brian

Thanks JRV.
I am now getting this error (at least some feedback from Powershell now):
Exception calling "Open" with "1" argument(s): "[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager
] Data source name not found and no default driver specified"
At C:\temp\JobMon.ps1:21 char:14
+ $objConn.open <<<< ($connString)
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [], MethodInvocationException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : ComMethodTargetInvocation
The thing is, it shouldn't be using a Microsoft driver. It should be using the Oracle Client driver (which I have installed and tested successfully using TNSPing).
Do I need to declare some sort of "using System.Data.OracleClient namespace" like in C++? How would I do that in Powershell?
Thanks again,
Brian

Creating UDL file for use of HFMCopyApplication utility

I'm trying to create the UDL file on the HFM server to link to the SQL database where HFM sits.
I followed the instructions and created a new text document, rename it as extension .udl. According to the instruction, I'm supposed to double click on this new file and an data link property window will appear. But all I see is still a blank text document.
Am I missing something? In the past I always asked our application support guys to do that but now I have to figure it out myself....
Thanks!

Hi,
The reason to rename the file to .UDL is that the UDL extension should be mapped to an application that will let you make a database connection.
You either have one of two problems if double clicking on the UDL file opened in Notepad:
#1 - At some point .UDL file extensions were mapped to point to Notepad (or whatever text editor the file opened in) [I'm doubtful this is the problem]
#2 - In Windows Explorer you do not have file extensions visible; therefore, when you renamed your file, it didn't rename it the way you wanted it to. For instance instead of renaming database.txt to database.udl, you ended up with database.udl.txt This file would still open in Notepad as .TXT is associated with Notepad (or other text editor).
IF #2 is the problem, do the following:
#1 - Open a File Explorer window and navigate to the folder with the UDL file.
#2 - Click on Tools
#3 - Folder Options
#4 - Click on View
#5 - Make sure 'Hide extensions for known file types' is unchecked.
#6 - Hit OK
#7 - Refresh the File explorer window and note the filename.
#8 - If the filename is something like .UDL.txt, rename it to remove te .txt.
If #1 is the issue: (Note : I'm giving you windows 7 version which may be different than XP, but it should still be in the control panel somewhere)
#1 - Open Control Panel
#2 - Open Default Programs
#3 - Open Set Associations
(NOTE: Instead of steps 1-3 click Start and type in associations and one of the results will be to set file associations)
#4 - Locate the .UDL file extension and confirm it is set as Microsoft Data Link, OLE DB Core Services
---IF NOT set to OLE DB Core Services --
#5 - Click on Change Program
#6 - Select OLE DB Core Services from Recommended Programs List

How to write UDL file in Labview for Database connection

Hi
I am using SQL Server database. I am making connection with SQL by using UDL file. If I create Normal UDL file in windows and make connection it happens. I want to change or add some parameter Like database name. If I am changing this value by using labview, the file gets corrupted, and not able to make connection with SQL.
I want to create database by program. User should not create the database.
Kindly suggest me the proper solution.

It may look like a text file, but it's not a text file that uses plain-old ASCII. If you open it in Notepad you won't see anything obvious. You actually have to open the UDL file with a hex editor, and you will see the differences. Specifically:
The file starts with the header FF FE. This indicates Unicode. LabVIEW does not support Unicode.
Each characters is actually 2 bytes. Thus, the first character you see in Notepad is "[" (for the section start). In hex this is 05 for plain-old ASCII, but 05 00 for Unicode (which is what's actually in the file).
Thus, if you absolutely must write out the file using LabVIEW you will need to write it out in binary mode, inserting the 0x00 bytes, and the FF FE at the start.

Creating and Editing .udl files in 64-bit Windows

I have not done any database work since 64-bit Windows was released. Things have changed and I lost a few hours trying to troubleshoot database connectivity. If someone else runs into the same issues, hopefully this post will save them some time.
In trying to to examine the LabVIEW example database and UDL file:
C:\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2010\examples\database\LabVIEW.mdb
and
C:\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2010\examples\database\LabVIEW.udl
I copied them to a new location and found out that simply double-clicking on the UDL to view how it is configured results in an error: "Provider cannot be found. Ensure that the provider has been installed properly." This should normally bring up a UDL properties dialog/utility.
The reason for this error is that 32-bit and 64-bit OLE DB providers are carried separately in 64-bit Windows installation (even if you are using 32 bit LabVIEW).
To view and test the UDL's configuration using the windows tool, you'll need to open up a command box, and paste this text to run the 32-bit version of the ODBC Data Source Administrator:
C:\Windows\syswow64\rundll32.exe "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\System\Ole DB\oledb32.dll",OpenDSLFile C:\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2010\examples\database\LabVIEW.udl
Change the path to your own UDL file. It is advised NOT to modify the original LabVIEW example UDL. Just exit the properties dialog without making changes if you open up the utility on the LabVIEW original.
This trick can be helpful if you want to use a copy of the example LabVIEW database in your own application for testing or troubleshooting. Simply copy the database and the .udl file to a new location (rename both if desired), then edit the .udl copy as necessary (modify the paste-text above as needed for the new file's location).
This will also allow you to connect the new UDL to a different 32-bit OLE provider using the UDL "Data Link Properties" utility provided within the Windoze O/S.
This trick may also be necessary if you have installed OLE providers in 32-bit mode you wish to use and cannot find the providers using the normal 64-bit ODBC Data Source Administrator that is launched by default.
References:
Create a New UDL File (MSDN)
Edit a 32-bit UDL (MSDN)
Windows KB Article on 32/64 bit ODBC

I seem to have fixed the issue...
I used C:\Windows\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe to create a file DSN, then created a new database with that DSN. I then imported the data from my other database and that seems to work correctly.
Hope this helps someone else.

Linking .udl file to .mdb or .accdb in programming

I`m working on the database toolkits. I can manually create an .udl file andlink to .mdb or .accdb file. Can this be done through programmatically from LabVIEW?

Hi Ranjeet,
I`m not using two different extension files i`m using either .mdl or .accdb file for an single .udl file.
Let me be more clear here I`m linking an test.udl file with the test.accdb. I can manually link the file by selecting the OLED function and specifying the path but I need to do this in program so every time when I run the program I can retrive those data if I have entered already.
The UDL is a text file, which you'll see if you open it in Notepad.
However, as suggested, it's alot easier to use 2 UDLs and choose/select between them.

I am unable to open raw files from my Canon T1i in Adobe Camera Raw of my version CS3 of Photoshop. I have tried to update my ACR by downloading version 4.6 from the Adobe website but I am still unable to open raw files, just JPEG. Is there a way to use

I am unable to open raw files taken on my Canon Rebel T1i in my version of Photoshop CS3. When I import raw files into Bridge they come up as patches with CR2 on them and when clicked on, a notice comes up stating that Photoshop does not recognize these files. I tried to update my Adobe Camera Raw by downloading version 4.6 from the Adobe Website, but when I clicked on the plus-in, I got another message that Photoshop does not recognize this file. I spoke with a representative from Canon who said that I could not update CS3 and that I should subscribe to the Cloud. I would prefer to use my CS3, if possible. Can anyone advise me what to do?

The T1i was first supported by Camera Raw 5.4 which is only compatible with CS4 and later
Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
Some options:
Upgrade to CS6
Join the Cloud
Download the free Adobe DNG converter, convert all T1i Raw files to DNGs then edit the DNGs in CS3

How to read,dispaly and open pdf files

Hi, I am very new to Java butI have VB6.0 background. My current requirement is to read pdf file names from a directory, then
show them on a form in a list (with their path in background pointing to the actual pdf files) and then once a user clicks any
file name, open that file on the form.
For example:
My pdf files are in a directory as following:
C:\myreports\user1\
report1.pdf
report2.pdf
report3.pdf
C:\myreports\user2\
report1.pdf
report5.pdf
The output on the form should look like this if user1 has logged in the system. Side note: I am able to get userid of the logged in person in a variable.
My Reports:
. Report 1
. Report 2
. Report 3
When a user clicks Report 1, it opens on the same form in pdf format.
Thanks
S.yhong

For the first part (Listing thepdf files in the directory) you can use the java.lang.File class.
File f = new File("path to your directory");
File files[] = f.listFiles();
then process the files array to find the files with extenction pdf
You can also use a file filter object and make the listFiles method return only the pdf files.
Please read the documentation about the File class for more info about it.
*/ For the displaying the pdf part is it good enough if you load the accrobat reader and with it. In that case you can do that using the Runtime.exec
Also you can search for free java based pdf viewers I am sure there must be meny.
And also the JTextPane might support pdf but I am not sure about it.
EDIT:
Just to say that this is my 1000th post :)

I am trying to open CR2 files from a Cannon EOS 1DX camera in Photoshop CS6 and I have already updated the Camera Raw Plug in but Photoshop is still giving me the cannot open files dialog box? Help?

Canon 1DX support was added to ACR in version 6.7, 7.1. An updated CS6 should be at level ACR 8.6. If your ACR is not at level 8.6 try using CS6 menu Help>Updates. If that does not install ACR 8.6 try downloading the ACR and DNG 8.6 converter and see if ACR 8.6 will install into your CS6.

Open/edit file

I need to open a file, and edit part of the file based on some static text in that file. For example, lets say the text file looks something like this:
a
b
c
1
2
1
a
b
c
I need a program that will open the file, and delete everything from the first 1 to the last 1, and do nothing if no 1's exist.
Afterwards, save the existing file.
Can someone please show me how to do this?
Thanks.

I finished writing the program I was asking about. In case anyone needs anything like this in the future, I have posted the program here(w/ a few modifications):

Unable to open Office files on SharePoint 2010 sites on Windows Server 2008 R2

Setup: Windows SharePoint Server 2010 sp1 on Windows Server 2008 R2 (hosted on VMWare VSphere ESXi 5.1)
Secured using Domain SSL from GlobalSign.
Client OS: Windows 7 Professional 32bit & Windows XP SP3 32 bit
Browsers: IE10, IE9,IE8
Office: Office 2010, Office 2010 sp2 (both 32bit), Office 2007
Problem Description: Only recently, users started having issues with opening Office files (Word, Excel) on SharePoint sites. When you click on an Office file e.g. Word Document, it comes up with the option to select "Ready only" or "Edit"
and choosing either options and re-entering the login credentials results in the
application hanging. If you leave it for a while (about 5 minutes) sometimes the file opens and other times it gives the error "Could not open https://portal.com/XXX/XXX/Document.docx". Even when it opens, it's extremely
sluggish and can't do anything other than end it via Task Manager. Same with excel files.
This happens to all the users all different OS and browsers.
On XP Pro SP3 w/ IE8, when you click on the file, the login prompt keeps popping back up repeatedly and if you click cancel, the file loads up anyway but no way of saving back onto the SharePoint site.
IMPORTANT: One exception is when logged in as a Site Collection Administrator, it
works like a dream bizarrely!!!! Opens, Edits and saves back fine on the SharePoint site.
Have tried following:
1. Repaired Office 2010 Pro; Uninstalled/Re-installed Office 2010 Pro
2. Reset Browser, unticked automatically detect proxy settings.
3. Emptied OfficeOfflineCache on Client
4. Removed WebDAV from the SharePoint server
5. Added Antivirus folder exclusion (We use SEP 11) on the SharePoint Server
Note: PDF files opens fine for all users.
I would immensely appreciate if anybody has got any advice/pointers/suggestions. Desperately out of ideas at the moment.

Compter Sez No!

Hi,
According to your description, When you try to open a Microsoft Office document from a SharePoint 2010 site in a client application, the document opens slowly and you are prompted to enter your credentials multiple times.
This issue may be because of SharePoint Web Front End (WFE) server(s) has Antivirus software installed and the exceptions are not set correctly.
I recommend to remove the antivirus software or set the correct permissions for the antivirus software to resolve the issue.
To configure the antivirus exceptions, please follow the guidelines in the below articles:
KB943620:
Folders to exclude when you perform a file-level antivirus scan on a server operating system.
KB952167:
Certain folders may have to be excluded from antivirus scanning when you use a file-level antivirus program in SharePoint.
KB943556:
Recommended file and folder exclusions for Microsoft Forefront Client Security or Forefront Endpoint Protection 2010.

Did you try to open teh fle by double-clicking its icon? If the file was made with an older version of Office, you may get that message. Try opeing PP and, from its "File" menu, see if you can open the ppt. I've foundthat often gets around that message and then yo ucan save the file from the newer version.
If that doesn't work, consider asking in the Microsoft Office: Mac forums here:

PowerPoint is not an Apple product and it seems a lot of people around here avoid Office.

In Mountain Lion, how do I find the location of an open Preview File? The file "properties" tab is no longer available.

I typically have several open Preview files at any one time and often forget where, sometimes if, I saved them. In Mountain Lion, how do I find the location of an open Preview File? Tried holding option + command in spotlight but I don't see a path name appear anywhere.

Yes, cmd-option on a file you choose in Spotlight and the path will appear at the bottom of the Preview window.
EDIT: Also, if it is bookmarked the path is in Bookmarks.
