Saving data files for backward compatability.

I am currently saving the data in my appplication as a datalog file (LabView specific). The data contains strings, clusters, arrays etc.. so it's not a case if simple Binary data)
The problem I have is that the software/program is always being developed and more variable added to be saved. This software is kind of in use and I therfore need the old data files to be backward compatible with the new program.
With datalog files, you have to provide an image of the exact data file structure to load, so obviously with the new data structure, the old files will no longer load. How can I over come this? Is there a simple way.
The only way I thought of, was to save my data in.csv format. For example, I would save an exce
l/array matrix of say 20 x 100 which would give me 2000 cells to work with (plenty). I could then save all my data into this file, but always saving a 20x100 matrix, so even if I update the program in the future to save a further 5 data values/clusters etc.. for example, the saved matrix would not need to change and it would simply have the same image, but with 5 more cells filled.
Would this work?
I theory it sounds feasable, but do you have another/better method.
At present, I am using datalog file I/O and simply save a few extra blank clusters/doubles etc.. so I have a bit of scope to add thing, but this is not aceptable really.
There would also be other benfits for me if I use a .csv excel file, but it's not critical, other file formats will also be ok.
Thanks for any help/advice.

It sounds like your question would be better answered in the general LabVIEW forum. This forum is for questions regarding the LabVIEW Datalogging and Supervisory Control Module, which is an add-on software package for LabVIEW. Your problem could be solved by using the DSC Module, but your question does not sound like you are thinking about using the DSC Module.

Reinstall or Rebuild Data File for Calendar App

My Calendar app will not accept the Time Zone change I designated. I have tried just about everything else to correct the problem. No other apps of system prefs are affected. It seems to be isolated to Calendar.
Doesn't the Date and Time setting govern the Time Zone setting in the Calendar app? If so, the Calendar app is not reflecting this.
Is there a way to rebuild the data file for the Calendar or to reinstall it?

Same issue here. Found the application but not the saved file. When I used to do this on a PC, it was all in the same folder and file extension was .tax. Easy to find them all.
For some reason, this year, TurboTax cannot find the file on my Macbook. I do not recall moving these files off my Mac so it should have 2009 and 2010 on here but all I found is the actual application, not the data file.
Any suggestions? It's got to be on here, just filed away in one of those weird mac file structures.
Thanks!

I want to install Snow Leopard Server on our MacPro (2.66) using Mac Mini Snow Leopard Server disks? I kept getting an error for backwards compatibility. Is this possible or do I need to purchase another copy of Snow Leopard Server?

I want to install Snow Leopard Server on our MacPro(2.66) using Mac Mini Snow Leopard Server disks? I kept getting an error for backwards compatibility. Is this possible or do I need topurchase another copy of Snow Leopard Server?

The OS disks that are shipped with a particular product
are set up so that tey will only install on that product.
It will install on any Mini of that exact vintage, but that
is all.
This is to prevent people from doing exactly what you
are trying to do. The license for OSX shipped with any
is only valid for that product. Also, Snow Leopard,
including Server, is only permitted to be run on one
computer at a time. Bottom line, unlike Lion, legally
you cannot install the same copy on multiple
computers unless some "family pack" or site license
is purchased.
Yes, you need to purchase another copy.
The copy of Snow Leopard license is here:

Sample Data Files for P Card Testing

Is there a utility available that can be used to easily create sample data files for use when testing P Card functionality? We will be using the USBank/Visa file format. Generating enough sample data is time consuming especially in the volumes we need.
Thanks,

the plan is to cover all the training materials.. BPC420, 430,440 in next 2-3 weeks if possible. Though Immediate need is to learn planning .
Looking at SAP training support files (I have course material) or any complete case study data which I can do from scratch.. I have just been doing it for 3-4 days.. already understand the basic stuff.. Pretty comfortable with SAP ECC & BW (both technical and function stuff)..

Where is the data file for the address book located, I need to restore mine from backup but don't know where it is.

Where is the data file for the address book located, I need to restore mine from backup but don't know where it is to do so. Putting my Mac Pro onto icloud synching contacts resulted in duplicate and triplicates of the same cards. I have a few THOUSAND contacts and the last time this happened was on mobile me. that had a function where you could replace info on the mobile me server with info on the computer. I see no way to do that on the new cloud.

Data files for Microsoft Outlook 2003

Hi everyone,
After using a Palm for 10 years I recently switched to a BB Curve 8330 and never looked back. I'm trying to figure out where my data files for Outlook calendar, contacts, notes, and etc. so I can back up the files. I know I can do a back-up using BB Desktop Manager but I'm also curious to know where the data files are stored. I'm using Windows XP.
Thanks.

No update time stamp in the saved data file

In NI Example Finder, there is a file called "Fieldpoint Datalogger.vi". I flip the "Time Format" switch to "HH:MMS" and the "File Type" switch to "Spreadsheet". The data saved into a file have time stamp at each line. However, the time stamp in each line of the data file saved as the same time without any update to the most current time. I put sampling frequency for 100 ms and saved as 50K bytes file size, but all the time stamps in the file show one same time (I believe it is the time to start to save into file and keep repeat it). How can I get the update time stamp for every 100ms or 500ms and save that time stamp into the data file from this "Fieldpoint Datalogger.vi"? Should I change anything on the subVI called
"embedded FPLog.vi"?

Hello,
Fieldpoint systems usually base the timestamp on the National Instruments Time Server, which is installed on any computer using the Fieldpoint driver. This means that you can configure the Time Server on a Fieldpoint system to continuously check the system time of any computer on the network that has the Fieldpoint Driver installed by referencing its IP address.
If the timestamp is not updating, then we should first verify that it has been configured properly.
Take a look at the following Knowledge Base and let us know if using the listed steps takes care of this issue.

Saving completed file for opening in another program

I have been using Pinnacle Studio 10.7 because it allows me to produce HD-DVD on regular DVDs. (The drawback is the approximate 20-minute time max on each DVD.) I'd like to start doing work in Premiere, then save my work to a file that I can simply open and immediately write to a DVD without losing HD quality.
What file type is best for saving my work in HD quality that can be reopened by another program without liosing that quality. I've thought that a workaround might be to simply write the new file to tape and then recapture in Studio. Can anyone help me, please? Thank you!

There is a way to fool Premiere Pro into writing the file. Just start the process, and while it is transcoding, disconnect the camera. You will eventually get an error message. Before you click OK you rename the file so Premiere Pro can't delete it.
That makes a perfect M2T file that can be used without having to recapture.
By the way, you can use many different utilities to write a data file to the DVD-ROM. I use WMV or M2T files on a DVD-ROM since my player supports them.

How to Dynamically Select the Data File for a Report at Print Time

How do you configure a Crystal report to ask for the file to be reported on as the report is being printed, and allow the user to browse to the file?
The environment is Crystal Reports XI, SP3, with ODBC connection to Sage Timberline Office data version 9.7. The client names their Payroll unposted time file each pay period, and also needs to report on their posted data file, depending on the time period for the report. The client will need to select both the date range and the file name.
I have created a SQL statement in Add Command in Database Expert, which prompts for a file name, but it does not let you browse to select a file on the computer.
Therefore, in the prompts when they print the report, the parameter offers the user a default file name similar to the name they currently use, so they only have to change the payroll period end date in the supplied file name to run the report successfully.
The client is concerned that sometimes a user will name their data file differently, and not know how to input the file name into the Crystal report prompt at print time.
My research on dynamic prompts showed you can link to fields inside the data record, but I did not see a way to dynamically link to select the actual files used in the report.
Another question is that the naming convention used by the SQL query is different than the basic Windows file name, but I think I can handle that issue.
The actual file name is typically similar to:
04-10-11 BP NEW.PRT
However, in the SQL query, the record ID looks like:
PRT_00-00-00 BP NEW__TIME
The SQL Statement using a parameter is:
SELECT
"PRT_CURRENT__TIME"."Employee",
"EMPLOYEE1"."Employee_Name",
"PRT_CURRENT__TIME"."Date",
"PRT_CURRENT__TIME"."Units",
"PRT_CURRENT__TIME"."Job",
"JOB1"."BP_Emps_Used"
FROM
"PRT_CURRENT__TIME" AS "PRT_CURRENT__TIME"
INNER JOIN "JCM_MASTER__JOB" AS "JOB1"
ON "PRT_CURRENT__TIME"."Job"="JOB1"."Job"
INNER JOIN "PRM_MASTER__EMPLOYEE" AS "EMPLOYEE1"
ON "PRT_CURRENT__TIME"."Employee"="EMPLOYEE1"."Employee"
WHERE "JOB1"."BP_Emps_Used" = 1
AND
("PRT_CURRENT__TIME"."Date" BETWEEN
{?As of Date} - 41 AND {?As of Date})
UNION ALL
( SELECT
"PRT_NEW__TIME"."Employee",
"EMPLOYEE2"."Employee_Name",
"PRT_NEW__TIME"."Date",
"PRT_NEW__TIME"."Units",
"PRT_NEW__TIME"."Job",
"JOB2"."BP_Emps_Used"
FROM
"{?NEWPRT}" AS "PRT_NEW__TIME"
INNER JOIN "JCM_MASTER__JOB" AS "JOB2"
ON "PRT_NEW__TIME"."Job"="JOB2"."Job"
INNER JOIN "PRM_MASTER__EMPLOYEE" AS "EMPLOYEE2"
ON "PRT_NEW__TIME"."Employee"="EMPLOYEE2"."Employee"
WHERE "JOB2"."BP_Emps_Used" = 1
AND
("PRT_NEW__TIME"."Date" BETWEEN
{?As of Date} - 41 AND {?As of Date})

Hello,
Sorry you'll have to contact Sage on how to do this. We can help you once you get connected but we can't help you get around their connection methods.
There is no Preview Set Database Connection method you can use in CR Designer. The Designer assumes you select it first or use the Set Location option before previewing or refreshing the data.
If you are doing this in the Sage program itself we can't help you, you'll have to contact Sage for assistance.
Sage is an OEM Partner they are responsible for supporting their product and CR. If they have issues help you then they will contact us directly for assistance.
Thank you

Access via command line to the data files for Address Book

Snow Leopard Server 10.6.8
Mac Mini 2.66 GHZ Intel Core 2 Duo 4 GB 1067 MHZ DDR3
I rolled back from Mountain Lion Server to Snow Leopard Server because I needed mySql. At the time I was under AppleCare and they walked me through the steps. However, I ended up with Address Book issues.
Addressbook user on the Snow Leopard Server was upgraded to Mountain Lion Server. During the rollback process, the Apple tech had me delete the Addressbook user.
When we finished the rollback, he had me recreate the Addressbook user, but now it is linked to a new, empty data file. I cannot add new contacts nor edit or delete them. So I need to use the command line to view both data store files, find the one that has my data in it and re-attach it to my new Addressbook user.
Can someone help me with the Command Line commands?
Thank you,
Cailyn

Hi,
There are a couple of more advanced solution I can think of and I'm actually working on one myself.
* You can create your own jnlp client that allows you to pass in arguments. That sounds harder than it easy. Building a stripped down jnlp client (e.g. no installer, no applets) using one of the two open-source client as a start takes probably just a couple of days and should be sufficient for in house usage.
* Another solution is what I'm working on now. You can wrap your own executable around javaws that takes your passed in arguments plus jnlp href and looks up the original in the cache and adds a new one to the cache that it passes on to javaws and suddenly everything works as it should. The magic will be revealed at http://www.geocities.com/vamp201
