Simple Question - Data Import

Hi,
i have a simple question. Is it wise to change our actual import scenarios for input data from systems out of sap to XI?
Today we have the scenario that data from outer systems will send per ftp to a special directory. After that a report will transform the data into a batchinput. The btci will send per rfbibl into the system. Now we have a huge number of such reports. Will it now be better to change to XI, which we use perhaps for MDM?
Xi could take the file from ftp-srever maps the fields an will send per bapi to sap.
Is it a quite simple scenario or is batchinput still the better way.

Hi,
If you have a scenario where you have different file formats , which needs to be converted and then send to different systems based on some conditions , then suggested is XI usage.
However, also if you already have XI installed and running for the MDM system , then you can think of routing all messages through XI. It may make sense to use one system for all routing and data conversion puposes.
Hope this view helps.
Cheerio,
Disha

Simple question on @import url

If I want to change from importing a style sheet from my server to included in the site direcory what changes do I need to make to:

</style>
Thanks, Tim

I don't use @import. Let's say you want to keep all your stylesheets ordered inside a sitefolder like so:
Site - yoursite.com (C:\yoursite)
   +Styles
          mystyle.css
          print.css
          mobile.css
     index.html
     about.html
Place this between the <head> and </head> tags
<link href="Styles/mystyle.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen"/>
<link href="Styles/print.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="print"/>
<link href="Styles/mobile.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="handheld"/>
Does this answer your question?

[JS] Simple question: Is importing XML from variable of XML datatype still not possible?

Hi,
Am I correct assuming that there is still no way to import XML into an XML element, directly from a variable of data-type XML?
Will I still need to save data to disk, just to be able get it into the XML structure?
Thanks,
Andreas

I totally agree. I look for this improvement once in a while, when I do changes and improvements in my code. I hoped I just hadn't noticed some other way to do it "in memory". It seems very unnecessary with this disk access.
I filed a feature request at https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform.
Perhaps more people wish for the same... and evntually the XML import functions will be able to handle an XML datatype object as argument.
Best regards,
Andreas

Simple Question - Data Transfer Object

Hey gurus,
I like the option in JBuilder to automatically create Data Transfer Objects and an Assembler for it. But what? I used to make the assembler a Session Bean, and JBuilder makes it a normal Java class with static methods. I know JBuilder always ships with the best solutions, but...
what is the advantage of the static class here? And in my case, i have the session beans and the entity beans deployed on a different server, would that make a difference for the advantage?
greets,
Nick.

Simple Question: How to search for a date value in SELECT

Probabily a simple question, but in a SELECT statement, how do you do a search for a date value in the WHERE clause?
example:
Select * From Example
Where date = 01/01/2001
I know its not as simple as that, but what change has to occur to make it do what that example implies?
Thanks In Advance.

If you want to avoid the conversion part(to_date) you will need to specify the date in the format as ur nls date format.so the same query might not work if you change ur nls date format.
so it is advisable to give it in general format.
ie where date_col=to_date(01-01-2000,'dd-mm-yyyy')

Simple question - How to find date

Hi Experts,
I have a simple question on date. Suppose today is Jan 4, 2010. I have to find out Jan 1, 2007 using Java code.
I have used following code. This code will work for 2010 and 2011 properly. However it won't work properly after Feb 28, 2012. Please see "dayInMillis*1096 " portion of code. Here 365365366 = 1096.
How I can avoid this hard coding. Do we have any simple way to get Jan 1, 2007 even without using following code.
     Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
     int lastDate = calendar.getActualMaximum(Calendar.DATE);
     int firstDate = calendar.getActualMinimum(Calendar.DATE);
     int todayDate = calendar.get(Calendar.DATE);
     int dayofyear = calendar.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_YEAR);
     java.sql.Date currentdate = new java.sql.Date(System.currentTimeMillis());
     long dayInMillis = 1000 * 60 * 60 *24; //1 day
     wdContext.currentContextElement().setFromDate(new Date(System.currentTimeMillis() - dayInMillis*1096 - ((dayofyear-1)*dayInMillis)));
Please help.
Regards,
Gary

Hi Gary,
I am not pretty much clear with your question, whatever i have understood, i have found a way to get the previous date given the current date.
Below is the code for the same.
                       Calendar now = Calendar.getInstance();//Jan 4, 2010
       String nowDateStr = DateFormat.getDateInstance().format(now.getTime());
       System.out.println("date now : " +nowDateStr);
       now.add(Calendar.YEAR, -3);//2007
       now.add(Calendar.DATE, -3);//1st
       now.add(Calendar.MONTH, 0);//No change in month, Jan.
       String changedDateStr = DateFormat.getDateInstance().format(now.getTime());
       System.out.println("date changed : " +changedDateStr);

A simple Question about % in CR Chart!

Hi, I have another simple question.
When i use SQL to storage data and wanna Crystal Report to display the data in chart using %
which data type should i use?
float or string?
and I found when i use 0.12 as 12% in database , It could not display in Crystal Report line chart normally.
What should I do??
Please Help!!!
Thank you VERY MUCH!!!

If you have the datatype as string from your database then try adding the string field as a summary field in chart and select maximum instead of count and if you have them in number format then you can directly select the percentage in chart.

Some questions about importing HTML files

Hi, folks
Let's suppose we want to import a pack of HTML files formatted in HTML5 wit's it's CSS into a double-oriented folio. A couple or three questions about that, please:
1. Is there a limit for a reasonable quantity of HTML files I can import into a folio? I mean.. 100 would be way too much, for instance?
2. These HTML files could be navigated and referenced from inside TOC-pages made in InDesign,right? (navto://..., I gues?)
2. Will it be possible, by means of HTML adaptative design techniques, to treat both orientations (vertical and horizontal) as different viewports or screen sizes so that the design adapts for instance the column width with its CSS?
3. That said, will the InDesign final app. respect that adaptative CSS rules?
I am asking this because we are looking for a way to inject big quantities of content with a very similar design into our application in a really fast and automatizable way and I have the suspicion* that importing HTML5 preformated CSS files could be the a very good and simple alternative to importing XML into InDesign templates as we start out content as tagged almost-html files.
Thanks a lot
Gustavo Sánchez (Posting from Madrid)

I assume you are asking about using HTML articles.
1. There is no limit beyond simply keeping things reasonable.
2. Yes. Just use navto://articlename
3. Yes. I've used min-width of 768 and max width of 1024 to control it.
4. InDesign does not enter into any of this with the exception of using the folio builder panel. Everything else is done in Dreamweaver or whatever program you decide to use for the article.
If you want to restrict the HTML articles to one orientation or the other, use the _h and _v suffixes.

Need a simple answer for simple question???

simple question... what is the best way to export my fce movie and burn it on idvd for the best quality for genaral use ... sd..4x3 ratio tv.. lots of ken burn effects on photos... lots of sd video... ???
not so simple answer... i have read manuals.. apple discussions.. etc etc my eyes are blurry.. i have been exporting out of fce to qk time movie, then import to idvd and burn..
i get lots of wavy or jitter when doing kens burn effects on photos.. i have been told that 1 field must be missing.. and its better to take the qk time movie convert it again making sure hi quality is checked(movie properties 720 x 480) and self contained movie, then import to imovie ver 5.02 which has better codecs then to idvd ... an apple store tech said..
then another apple store tech said...dv pro or dv stream or interlaced or on and on and on
its not 16x9, or for the web or anything but simply burn it and give it to my grandma to play in a standard dvd player.. best quality.. period.. i know it won't any better than my source video but the wavy photos bother me..
help

The Apple store tech told you garbage. The quality will be the same. It's using the same QuickTime engine. There may be a difference because going through iMovie will go through a file conversion and the picture might be softened a little, which will mitigated this flicker you see.
The wavy photos can be a lot of things, most likely due to the nature of the images themselves and the movements you've done on them. What often works on still images is to apply a one pixel vertical motion blur in an application like Photoshop or Elements. This helps to reduce interlace flicker on motion when the material is brought into a video editing application.

A few simple questions from a new Iphone user

Hi a few simple questions, just got an iphone 2g - 2nd hand so not really sure what to expect. Anyway I guess my first question is about mine sometimes being a little slow - when I look at contacts and sometimes when sending a txt it slows down/freezes a little - normal?
Secondly Edge - I havent used it much but when I have its been painfully slow, is this normal - is it always really slow - cause I had read despite not being 3g Edge was actually pretty fast - what exactly is data roaming by the way? I mean I have been switched off as basically I dont wanna use the internet till next month when they change my contract to one I get unlimited access on - is that right?
Im having a problems syncing videos to it - it just wont sync some but will others and Im not sure why - theyre same file type and they used to sync to my ipod touch but now they wont for some reason
Cheers

I have the origina iPhone.
Downloaded 2.0, synced phone with everything UNchecked. Installed 2.0. Synced with all the options checked to reload my data. The iPhone has been great. Noticed a little lag when I opened contacts. Installed the new upgrade, and everything is back, no lag.
Edge is Edge and nothing more. It is slow compared to a strong 3g signal. But is liveable most of the time. Heavy traffic can slow it down to barely usable.
My four wheel drive club has a web site with a large photo section. I was standing out in the middle of parking lot in San Jose, Ca and showing a friend some photos. It opens up a page of small picts to choose from. Select a print and it enlarges, He was amazed at how fast they appeard. Especially given the quantity of photos.

Data import for users of forms created with Livecycle Designer

Hello,
I have seen several posts regarding data import for forms created by Livecycle Designer but nothing that helps with something I am trying to accomplish. I can create a data connection and import information in a form but what I would like to do is import data, then send the pdf for completion to a user. There are a few data elements that I have available and the rest of the information comes from from the user. The problem I run into is once I create a data connection, the pdf is ALWAYS looking for the source file for that data. I simply want to prepopulate some fields and send to the various users for completion. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Which type of Data Connection are you trying to create?
XML Schema, Sample Data File or WSDL?
Creating any one of first two types(mentioned above) will only create schema and will never import any data into PDF.
If you create the WSDL connection, you can surely import data (i.e. prepopulate data) into your PDF and forward it for users review/fill.
If I misunderstood your question, please get me clarified.

Data Import Wizard from Excel on DATE column

I have exported data to a csv in Oracle SQL Developer and one of the columns are of an Oracle Date datatype. In opening up Excel I see the Date column represented as 15-MAY-01 12.00.00.000000000 AM.
I am now going through the Data Import Wizard to create a new table and import the data. When I get to Step 3 of 4 it reads the data and assigns it a VARCHAR2. I want the column to be Date or Timestamp. In this case I choose timestamp and for format entered DD-MON-YY hh.mi.ss.fffffffff AM.
When I go to Step 4 of 4 to and click the Verify button I get:
"Verifying if the Date columns have date formats" Date columns DOT_LOGN_EFDT, have invalid or null date formats.
I am using Oracle SQL Developer 2.1.0.63 Build 63.73.
Any idea what I put in the format window to read the excel value of 15-MAY-01 12.00.00.000000000 AM correctly?

I am not able to reproduce your problem. When I export a date column, I do not get the time portion. This is the expected behavior. When re-importing the date, I therefore have no problem. I have tried manipulating the tools->preferences->database->nls->date format mask to include the time (and fractional seconds), but export still only exports the date portion. The fractional seconds is not valid for a date field, which explains the import error you are getting. The question remains as to why the exported data has the time. Can you describe your exact steps for doing the export?
