Segments in a file

Hi all,
What do you mean by Segments in a file ? What is the difference Between Record and a Segment ?
General definition of a File is : file is a group of records and Record is a group of fields.....right ?
Thanks in advance
Krish...

Hi,
What do you mean by segments in a file?
Segments are refer to fields.
What is the difference Between Record and a Segment ?
A single record can contain more than one segment (field).
I believe you are correct for general definition of a File is : file is a group of records and Record is a group of fields.

New line for each segment for Inhouse files using bic mapping..!!

Hi ,
Idoc to File scenario.
In the receiver adapter, we need to convert the XML into file(Inhouse format) by using seeburger mapping.
We have generated the map for this in bic and used in Module configuration of receiver adapter.
Now the question is I need to get each segment of XML file into a separate line in the output file like below.
HDR ... ......
DTL .........
DTL ........
where HDR is the header and DTL is the details segments.
Iam getting the output in a single line like HDR.........DTL.........DTL.........
but not as expected like above .
I tried by using newLine = true in module configuration, but no use.
I digged into bic designer to search for any option , but no use.
Kindly suggest me if any one has any idea on this.
Thanks&Regards'
Deepthi.

Hi Deepthi,
    Did you find the solution, please let me now if you get.
did you mention the below code to solve the issue.
copy the below section in the NewMapping Program:
   SetDestinationDelimiter("SubElement", ">");
   SetDestinationDelimiter("Element", "~");
   SetDestinationDelimiter("Segment", "\n");

Purpose of creating smaller segmented stream f4f files?

What the purpose behind creating smaller individual segmented stream f4f files instead of just creating a single large f4f file?
If I removed the SegmentDuration and DiskManagementDuration parameters from the event.xml file so I can create a single f4f file, would there be any issues with streaming or performance?
<Event>
<EventID>cfhs</EventID>
<Recording>
    <SegmentDuration>400000</SegmentDuration>
    <DiskManagementDuration>3</DiskManagementDuration>
</Recording>
</Event>
TO
<Event>
<EventID>cfhs</EventID>
<Recording>
          <FragmentDuration>4000</FragmentDuration>
</Recording>
</Event>

There should not be any issue with streaming or performance if you choose to create single f4f file. The concept of smaller segment files is for DiskManagment to work so that anyone can manage thier disk space better.

Error document segments overwritten after file export

Hi,
Please give solution for this .
Error document segments overwritten after file export: In case of invoicing of regional church in BK 1008, an error has occurred while processing a batch-input-file. The file description is Z_DEB_B*. By exporting a file all open FI-documents are overwritten in the document text with the same text.

Hi,
thank you for your help.
I am using an Adobe Acrobat XI Pro.

I tried the "Save as" option and the same problem happened.

Issue in segment creation for File to IDOC mapping

Hi,
I have file with many feilds, i need to create a segment in IDOC for unique combination of 2 feilds.
eg:
408
430050
segment
208
430050
segment
208
430050
208
460100
segment
208
452010
segment
408
432000
segment
208
432000
segment
the value for the combination of first column and 2nd column are equal it should trigger one segment instead of 2segments else(for different combination) trigger the segment
eg from table:
in table for 208,430050 is occuring twice but it should trigger only one segment(unique combinations of 2 columns), for all other combinations it should trigger one segment for each.

Hi Swapna,
You can use below mapping.
UDF:
Execution type : All Values Of Context
public void removeDuplicates(String[] context, ResultList result, Container container) throws StreamTransformationException{
HashSet<String> hashSet = new HashSet<String>();
        for (int i = 0; i < context.length; i++) {
            if (hashSet.add(context[i]))
               result.addValue(context[i]);
            else {
               result.addSuppress();

To remove leading zeroes and take directly from IDOC(Segment field) to file

Hi SapAll.
i have got a simple requirement in a idoc to file Interface.
here in a sender Idoc there will be one segment with one field,the requirement is to remove leading zeroes and take directly the data from this field and map to one of the field in reciever file structure.
i had used the formatnumber (under arithmatic functions)in PI 3.0 but now when iam using it in PI7.1 it was raising some jave exception error.
it would be preferable if any body can give me the solution without user defined functions.
regards.
Varma.

from your first post:
i had used the formatnumber (under arithmatic functions)in PI 3.0 but now when iam using it in PI7.1 it was raising some jave exception error.
use the same formatting that you used in 3.0 .... try with just a # in the FormatNum function.

Abhishek.

Fixed segments length in File using IDOCXmlToFlatConvertor module

Hi,
We need to create fixed length segments with 1063 characters each in flat file generated by the IDOCXmlToFlatConvertor module.
At presents the length of the segments is variable. I believe the module refers the IDO file in R3 system and generate segment lengths accordingly.
It there any approch by which we can create fixed length segments in the generated file.
Regards
Pravesh

Hi Pravesh,
could you please kindly provide a sample input and output.
If I have understood your requirements properly, we can achieve this in mapping itself,separate IDOCXmlToFlatConvertor module may not be required. In mapping we can count 1063 characters in each idoc segment and put it in target message. Then use receiver File content conversion to achieve this. Preferably java mapping will definately meet all requirements.
In case you need further clarification please let me know your source and target output.

Dropped line segments in dxf files

I have recently noticed when opening large E size dxf files which were created in CAD programs that some entities are dropped. At times it is dropping critical artwork.
I am suspecting there is a limitation on the amount of line segments Illustrator can import. Has anyone else experienced this before and is there a solution?
Thanks,
Mark

Sorry Kurt, I should have mentioned that in my original message.
I am using Illustrator CS2. We use multiple CAD programs but most of the drawings come from UniGraphics NX3 & NX5 or an older Unix program named DDN (Design Drafting Numerical Control). The dxf's are created from a viewing program developed by Cadman Corp. named Viewport. The files are plotted from the CAD programs into Viewport then they can be taken from viewport as dxf, pdf, or IGES files. We experience the same phenomenon from the pdf files only worse and the IGES files cannot be opened in Illustrator.
The missing artwork is present when viewed in Viewport or if we open the same dxf in SolidEdge. The results are not consistent from file to file, sometimes artwork is missing other times no art is missing but we have not been able to come up with a pattern other than it only seems to occur with larger 'E' size drawings.
Thanks for your help,
Mark

Edit & export audio segments as separate files?

Hi,
I'm cutting up recordings of PowerPoint presentations into separate clips, one per slide. I am wondering how I can edit on the timeline, then mark each slide, master the audio, and export one clip per marker. Is that segmenting done from Premiere, or is it an option to export one file per marker within Media Encoder? How?
Or, do I need to use subclips instead? Please don't say I need to do a sequence for each slide (or would that be less messy than it sounds?).
Or should I do this editing in Soundbooth instead, since the editing is basically audio-driven? How's segmenting done there?
Thanks!
>B

Hi Kevin -
It's funny... We are doing the exact same thing that you are. We are recording webinars, chunking up the audio into individual files according to PPT slides, and putting the audio back into the PPT presentation so they can be played back as the presentation initially aired. We're also exporting the reconstituted presentations as standalone webcasts that people watch online.
Okay - here's how we're doing it... I record the webinar's audio and video (Camtasia for audio and GoToWebinar's built-in .WMV recorder for video). I make a new project in Premiere and import both the video and audio. I only use the .wmv for visual reference (to know exactly where to split the long audio clip). I go through the audio clip and do an Alt + [ to mark the left side of the work area (essentially the In point) and Alt + ] to mark the right slide of the work area (essentially the Out point). I then split the clip at the out point (Control + K) in case I have to go back and re-edit or re-export later. Once I have my slide's audio marked with a work area, I go to file, export, media. This launches Adobe Media Encoder. In AME, I make .mp3s of each slide's audio. I then reinsert the .mp3s in the PPT presentation.
What I would LIKE to do is put chapter or Flash markers at the end of each slide's audio and then have it chunk up the clips for me based on the markers. The quest to do that led me to this post. I'll let you know if I find out any info on how to do that, but for now, the process is pretty manual and time-consuming. I am a long-time Avid editor, and that offers no solution either. What have you found with Final Cut?
Something also that may work for you (but not for us for various reasons) is iSpring Presenter's sync function. This allows you to bring in the entire audio clip and put it on the first PPT slide. Then you click a stopwatch icon when the audio is supposed to go to a different slide. This syncs up your audio and PPT for you. No more Premiere. Here is specific info on how to do that. It works great. We don't use it because we have to cut back into the presentation with live audio. But it may work great for what you're doing.

Imaging fails with segmentation fault on file NoName$####

Hi,
Trying to take an image of a system and continue to run into this
error, though it occurs in various different folders during the imaging
process.
server is running Zenworks Imaging 6.5 not sure on SP level
have tried PXE on disk, as well as the Zen 7 imaging boot CD.
defragging and checkdisk just change where the error occurs, but it is
always at a file called NoName$ (and a number at the end of it)
Any help would be appreciated.

Have run chkdsk afew times, will try again and see if it reports

JPEG marker segment length error - file not corrupt

I have 2 workstations in my suite. Both Win7...both CS5.5 ver. 12.1.x64. My "old" box (Z400) can open the JPEG no problem....My "new" box (Z820) gives me the error.
I have copied the file a few different ways so I know it is not corrupt.
Any thoughts/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

The error is "Could not complete your request because a JPEG marker segment length is too short (the file may be truncated to incomplete).
I'll try the preferences resetting.
Thanks for the quick responses.

Segmenting large video files

can anyone recommend a software to divide up large video files into 1GB chunks ready for upload to my iDisk storage. The files will be in MPEG2 format.

You can break up large files into smaller segments using the Terminal command "Split".
In the following example, we will break an (imaginary) movie, "MyFilm.mov" into 1000MB pieces.
Place the file to be split onto the desktop (this keeps it simple, otherwise you will have to "cd" to the directory where your movie resides)
Open Terminal and...
TYPE: *cd desktop* and press return.
TYPE: *split -b 1000m MyFilm.mov* and press return.
This will produce a number of files on your desktop named xaa, xab, xac and so on. There is a way to retain the original name or rename the file to something else but I don't have documentation on this at hand. You could move them to a suitably named folder.
The "1000m" part of the command is the size of the individual split files (in this case, the file will be broken into pieces of approx. 1000MB each
This may take some time to process, depending on the total size of the resulting files, how much RAM you have and the speed of your Mac.
At some point, your archived files will need to be re-assembled into a viewable movie. So....
Rejoin a set of split files:
Place all the files "xaa", "xab" etc, that are to be rejoined, onto the desktop
(keep it simple, remember...)
In Terminal;
TYPE: *cd desktop* and press return.
Type cat x* > MyFilm.mov and press return. Again, this may take some time, depending on the size of the resulting files.

Re: How to segment a video file into it's individual frames?

I am trying to do the same thing as you - grab individual frames from a video stream. I am finding that the Java players do not provide frameGrabbingControls and hence I am unable to access individual frames. Have you had any success?

QuickTime requires player and plugins that most people don't have. You'll reach a much wider audience if you use HTML5 <video> with mp4, webm and ogg files.

Maximum PDF file size for browsers to cache?

My site distributes daily newsletters via PDF that are typically about 2MB in size. A link is provided to the PDF, and when clicked, it opens the Adobe Reader plugin within the browser (Firefox, IE) and opens the file therein.
Recently it was brought to my attention by a dialup user (they do still exist) that when he navigates back or forward in his browser's history, the PDF has to be redownloaded rather than reloaded from his browser's cache. I, with a broadband connection and some wonderful Firefox extensions (Firefox Throttle and Live HTTP Headers) confirmed this behavior.
However, a similarly sized file (2MB) of a different type (text) is cached by the browser and I can go back and forth in the history without the file having to be redownloaded. I also had success with a smaller sized PDF (70kb).
What appears to happen is this:
1) Click the link to the 2MB PDF, and it loads in the browser.
2) Click browser's back button to back to previous page in browser history.
3) Click forward button to return to PDF.
4) A request with a "Range: <byte range>" header is sent which I think requests part of the PDF file (the byte ranges).
5) The server responds with a "206 Partial Content" response code and resends some/most/all of the PDF to the browser.
What should happen (and does with other file types and smaller sized PDFs) is that the browser should make a simple request for the PDF file, and assuming the PDF hasn't been modified since the latest request for it, the server should send a "304 Not Modified" response code which instructs the browser to use what it has in cache.
I've increased my browser cache sizes dramatically to no avail. Cleared them before starting the process to no avail. Should be no problem with any browser's cache limit.
I'm using Firefox 2 and IE7. My co-worker has IE6 and Acrobat Reader 6 installed on another machine and it works fine there (PDF is cached and does not need to be redownloaded).
Help! Why aren't these larger PDF files being cached correctly, and what can we do to get them saved in the cache so our poor dialup users don't have to redownload them everytime they navigate their browser history?
Thanks!

Just wanted to reply with my discovery and fix. I'm not sure if it is Adobe Reader or the web browsers (I tested Firefox 2 and IE7), but they appear to request parts of large PDF files "on demand." That is, they send requests to the web server with a "Range: <byte range(s)>" header which instructs the web server to only send segments of the file. I think they use the feature of HTTP 1.1 that keeps the connection open or alive to request/send the data incrementally.<br /><br />While this might seem preferrable, in the case of dialup users that navigate through their browser(s) history, they should instead download the PDF in its entirety and allow the browser to cache the file. This way, when they click the link to open the PDF again (or go back/forward in their browser's history), they use what they have in their cache instead of redownloading the PDF (which in the case of dialup users is quite painful).<br /><br />We fixed the problem by instructing our web server to ignore/disregard byte range requests. In a nutshell, you need to have the web server issue a header:<br /><br />Accept-Ranges: none<br /><br />In Apache, you can do this on a per-file-type basis using a FilesMatch directive. In IIS (we're using 5.0), you cannot specify a file type for this behavior; you have to set it in Internet Services Manager by adding a custom header under the "HTTP Headers" tab.<br /><br />Personally, I prefer folks use their browser cache than repeatedly request data (PDF file in this case) from our server. To each his own I guess. Hope this helps someone.

LSMW me51n, how to create one PR document for all the records in the file

HI all,
I need to create LSMW for t-code me51n -Create Purchase Requisition. I`m using Bapi BUS2105, method CREATEFROMDATA, idoc message type PREQCR, basic type PREQCR03. The problem is that the LSMW is creating different idoc and different PR document for every record in the source file. My requirement is to create one PR document for one source file (Every source file is different Purchase Requisition) . I`m trying to do this with writing some code(global functions ) in the 'Mapping and conversion rules' events - BEGINOF_TRANSACTION_, ENDOF_TRANSACTION__..., but i`m not very sure what exactly i`m doing .
Please help me resolve this problem, any help will be appreciated .
Best regards, Emil Milchev.

Thank you for you answer.
But I have found faster way of doing it - two source structures, one HEADER and ONE ITEM.
HEADER: one empty text field and identificator for it.
ITEM: everything else.
Then everything was just fine, i`ve mapped the different IDOC segments by PREQ_ITEM fields (equal values in the source file : 10-10-10..., 20-20-20,.... etc.) and put all required fields for my LSMW
