Publication Conversion Script

Hello Everybody!
I am Patrick and I work for a company called RedactiePartners as a software developer.
We use DPS to create an Enterprise application for one of our clients.
The clien doesn't need any big publication at all so most of the time we get a PDF and just import it.
After doing this a couple of times I went looking for scripts that could do this for me and I came across the post by David Schmidt - http://www.adobe.com/devnet/digitalpublishingsuite/articles/dps-pdf-to-indesign.edu.html
The script in that form let users create a quick way to convert PDF's to a multi pages DPS publication.
It worked fine untill the client requested more and more little edits to these simple conversion.
So I decided to upgrade the script a bit and work from there!
And here is the result: https://github.com/RPSource/All-to-DPS
Now it's on Github because most of the code was done by David Schmidt.
So what are the biggest differences?
Well the original version just worked and didn't give and option nor feedback.
So I added a dialog at the start of the script which let's you input a number of options
One of these options is a template.
Currently the script supports 2 templates a single pages and a multiple paged
The multiple paged is basically the David Scmidth version and the Single page creates a .indd file for every single page seperately.
Also I added the option to choose between more filetypes instead of only PDF (we had a case where the PDF just wouldn't load and had to resort to PNG. But I alwasy recommend using PDF for Quality)
You can also choose between some devices. Currently this is the support list:
iPad = 1024x768 (both rotations)
iPad Retina = 2048x1536 (both rotations)
Android = 1280x800 (both rotations)
iPhone = 960x540 (both rotations)
and last but not least you can give a RGB value for a background color if you want.
There is a instruction manual on the Github but for further questions please file a issue on Github or ask here.
Kind Regards,
Patrick

Hi Patrick,
This script is brilliant!
I am using at the moment for Android devices. One question from a script non-expert, I have changed the script so it doesn't fit to the page size otherwise the pdf's are very stretched but I can't seem to work out how to align the pdf in the centre after I have done this, at the moment it aligns from the top so we have a lot of white space at the bottom of the ID doc. Are you able to help?
Thanks,
Charlotte

Scenario strategy: conversion script purchase orders

Hi,
Can anybody email me an example of an conversion script regarding Purchase orders from an other system into SAP? I'am specially interested how to deal with open purchase orders in the old system, when they could not be closed in the old system.
Thank you in advance,
Eric van Zundert : email [email protected]
Additional info regarding strategies about PR's and source lists are very welcome.

Hi,
If you want to upload data from old legacy system to SAP you have to do data migration like with LSMW etc.You can upload the system the open purchase orders in legacy system to SAP.Contact your data migration team for that.Even u can retain the old PO ref.

Framemaker to RTF conversion script

Hello,
I have an requirement for a script to do FM to RTF conversion scripts?
Can someone provide any references or samples for this.
Thanks & Regards,
Shail

Shail,
The most robust solution – if FrameMaker’s own RTF export is not sufficient – is Mif2Go from Omni System. Check out

Currency Conversion Script

Hi guys,
I’m having performance problems with currency conversion script. Suddenly, the script is taking too long to run. I executed the script last night and today, he was still running. In my application i have about 50 currencies, but i’ve tested just with one and only with a few values to conversion. I deleted the scripts, the exchange rate table, and i create them again, refresh the database but the problem continues. If i am in a data form and run the BR to calculate currencies, everything works fine and he does the conversion with no problems.
Anyone had the same/similar problem? How do you resolved it?
All sugestions will be appreciated
Cheers

'Quick' is a relative term. Are you sure that nothing has changed between the time of your quick calc and this time? Did you try changing any cache settings? Maybe, defrag the database using 'restructure' or level 0 export + clear data + import.
Did you check which part of the calculation takes long? You can do this by evaluating the application log to see which fix statement takes the longest and optimize the parts accordingly.
As for me, I usually create one or 2 custom dimensions for currency depending on whether users will input in local or multiple currencies. Then, with UDA on entity or other dimension, you can copy data from local to 'USD' or other reporting currency. Once data is copied, currency conversion is simple multiply/divide.

Conversion Script Name to Code

Hi team,
I am trying to convert Name to Code using Model Options - > Naming Conventions -> Conversion Script.
For example if I have for entity:
Name : "Person - Contract"
Code(by Powerdesigner default) : "Person___Contract"
But I want just one "_", so it would be like:
Name : "Person - Contract"
Code : "Person_Contract"
Can i do it with Conversion Script?
Thanks

Hello ,
the way i did it:
1. Create an Extension (or use an existing)
2. Add metaclass column
3. Add custom check to column
4. Enable the options:
[x] execute the check auto
[x] automatic correction
[x] execute automatic correction        by default
Add a function under TAB AUTOFIX SCRIPT
Function %Fix%(obj, outmsg)
' CleanString - Clean Code/Name String for Column
   Dim NotAllowed, Substitute, Substitute2
   Dim h
   outmsg = obj.name & " geändert zu "
   NotAllowed = Array("NotAllowed:", vbTab, vbCrLf, " ". ".", ":", ",", ";", "+","%","&", "#", "/", "\", "(", ")")
   Substitute = Array("Umlaute und so            :", "Ä", "Ö", "Ü", "ß")
   Substitute2 = Array("Ersatz für Umlaute und so:", "AE", "OE", "UE", "SS")
' HERE YOU COULD DO A CHECK FOR YOUR NEEDINGS
   for h = 1 to UBound(NotAllowed)
      obj.name = Replace(obj.name,NotAllowed(h),"_")
   next
   Str = UCase(Str)
   For h = 1 To UBound(Substitute)
      obj.name = Replace(obj.name, Substitute(h), Substitute2(h))
   Next
   outmsg = outmsg & obj.name
   %Fix% = True
End Function
Edit the function under TAB CHECKSCRIPT:
Function %Check%(obj)
      %Check% = false
End Function
hope that helps

Color conversion script

Hi
I require to convert RGB image to Graycale or CMYK through script.
Regards,
Vinoth

Thanks for the reply,
Yes, this would be done in action also, but the conversion of image are more it might be grayscale or CMYK, If in script i could have a radio button type.
It would be easy for me to convert rather than action.

Transactional replicated articles Identity Specification changes when Publication was scripted

I recently scripted out a Publication on my SQL 2008 R2 (Standard) Server because I was in the process of restoring the publishing database and needed to tear down/ rebuild replication. After restoring, running my script to recreate replication I noticed
that the the tables in the subscriber went from having their Identity Specification set to Yes to No.
I had manually tore down and rebuilt this same publication in the past, without scripting, and not seen this behavior so I used the UI (SSMS) and did that again. This time the identity specification was back to Yes on the columns where it should be.
Why would scripting out an existing publication cause this to happen? What setting or behavior am I missing?
Thank you

Please verify the below link:
http://www.mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/1274/change-not-for-replication-value-for-sql-server-identity-columns/
Solution:
The "Not For Replication" setting for identity columns allows replication to pass the ID value from the publisher to the subscriber without the subscriber creating a new ID. Since identity columns will always generate a new number when records
are inserted, this setting allows you to ensure the values on both your publisher and subscribers stay in synch.

Help with Conversion Script

I have written a program for the hosting company I work with
to provide users with statistical information. It works great for
clients using coldfusion. Thats who we have the most of anyway.
However clients using any other language it does not work for. I
was wondering if there is some javascript I could use so when
someone clicks the link I provided and they go thru cflocation to
the end users website if I could send about three variables in
javascript that would follow the user thruout the site and then if
the person reaches a conversion goal I can call on a coldfusion
page to update my database?
Did I just make any sense whatsoever?

Would putting your conversion program into a cfc so it's
available as a web service help?

Conversion Scripts

Hello All,
we are re-implementing PeopleSoft 9.0 from 7.0. So, we converted data from PeopleSoft 7.0 (PROD 7.0) to PeopleSoft 9.0 (CNV). Client asked me to validate the data of PAY_CHECK_TBL (I mean Payroll) between PeopleSoft 7.0 and PeopleSoft Database 9.0. I have to show them various counts or differences between these two databases. I am just wondering can any body provide the sqls or scripts to find the various counts or differences.
Thanks in advance!

How currency COnversion calc scripts refers the HSP_Rates members?

Hi,
After creating the corrency conversion script based on selection of Scenario.Version,version type,currency.. planning also creates copy of this script as HSPCrtT & HSPCrtB. Here how its refering to HSP rates dimension?
Thanks

Hi,
Have you restarted Essbase server after increasing cache sizes?
Also verify if there are any calculations that are dependent on dynamic calc members.
Assuming Entity is a Sparse dimension, you can use FIX instead of IF in the calc script.
FIX(@UDA("ENTITY","CNY"))
"Local" / "Entity"->"Versions"->"Currency"->"Function"->"Level"->"CNY_Rate" ;
ENDFIX
...similarly for rest of entities.
Also you can use USD instead of LOCAL as you had already copied LOCAL to USD.
USD = "USD" / "Entity"->"Versions"->"Currency"->"Function"->"Level"->"CNY_Rate" ;
in similarly way you can try to fine tune the script for better performance.
Try these things and come up with the outcomes.
