[solved] How to avoid expanding variables with sed?

Stupid question probably..
Say I have a script that uses the variable $HOME, and I want to replace it with /another/dir using sed
I try something like..
sed -i "s_$HOME/file_/another/dir/file_g" script.sh
but its a no go, I think sed expands $HOME to /home/tj and fails to find it in the script. How to avoid this?

alternatively you could escape the $, if you wanted to mix some expanded vars and some not:
sed -i "s_\$HOME/file_/another/dir/file_g" script.sh
That should also work.

(Bash) How to set a variable with text from a file? [SOLVED]

I'm having a little problem.
I have textfile with a single line of text. What I want to do is set a variable with that line of text. How do I go about doing that?
A simple var="text" wont work in this case, since the text in the file changes with another script of mine.
Thanks in advance.

if you have a file with more than one line but you only want the first line you could use 'head'
VAR=`head -n 1 file`

How to convert the Variable with soap header to non soap variable.

I am working on a customized flow simialr to ProcessSalesorderFulfillmentJMSCOnsumer and Requestor ABCS. I dont have the PIP codes for the Requestor adn JMS Consumer. i built my own Requester ABCS and JMS Consumer. When i am trying to send message from JMS Consumer to Requestor ABCS in a variable with a SOAP:Env and SOAP:body inside.
Becoz of this i was not able to put a condition in my bpel flows. If i put a condtion on this variable like switch inputvariable:part:OrderType='NEW' and it was failing with selection failure. I tried copying the variable to a new variable and then to check the condition still it does not work for me. How do i convert the SOAP Message Variable to Non SOAP Message Variable.
Can i know the message put by SIebel in JMS Queue was it SOAP converted adn then how they are going to handle in Process Sales order Requestor ABCS.

HI,
In JMS Consumer of order to cash pip, Instead of using a schema reference they use a Envolpe.zxsd file which will take care of conversion adn then other artibutes are mapped in a transformation file.
Please take an export of jms consumer in jdeveloper and reverse engineer the code of JMS COnsumer Service.
Envelope_To_ListOfSWIOrderIO is the xsl whcih converts the message in AIA Queue to a message in a SOAP. Please look into the transformation.
Thanks,

How to use shared variables with native c programs

Hello
What is the way to use shared variables with native c programs?
I have a c/c++ program that uses the NIDAQmx C-API to perform measurements. Now I want to communicate to a LabVIEW program via shared variables.
Is there a C-API for shared variables as there is for the NIDAQmx functionality? Where can I find further documentation? The document "Using the LabVIEW Shared Variable" mentions that one "can read and write to shared variables in ANSI C", but there are no hints about how and where to look.
Thanks in Advance

Hi user42,
with CVI 8.0, you cannot create or configure shared variables. However, you can read or write to an already configured LabVIEW 8.x shared variable from CVI using the DataSocket API.
In order to do this you need to have and DataSocket 4.3 or higher installed.
Here's a forum post about using the DataSocket functions a LabVIEW Shared Variables:
http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=180&message.id=24569&requireLogin=False
With CVI 8.1 and Measurement Studio 8.1 it's possible to use Shared Variables via the Network Varaiable Library (check out the end of the "Network-Published Shared Variable" section within the "Using the LabVIEW Shared Variable" documentation and the following link).

How to create date variable with interval in VC

Hi Everyone,
I have 2 questions:
<u>My scenario:</u>
I am using a BI 7.0 Query which is having some variables. I want the same variables to be displayed in the VC output.
<u>Question 1:</u>
I know that how to bring these variables in variable screen, but when we use these queries, dont the variables in the variable screen automatically ask for the input?
I tried it but it is not happening automatically.
There are 2 inputs for queries with variables, i tried using both, but it is not working properly. Can any one tell me is it possible.
<u>Question 2:</u>
In this variable screen, I have to select date with interval format. but i dont know how to use variable with interval. ( Date with interval format).
I hope some one might have come across the same scenario .. If so please share with the solution me ..
Regards,
Chan

Ok .. Let me be very clear .. I think I confused you.
As you mentioned I have done every thing in query level.
I have created a query with a variable which is an interval based variable(date).
When I execute the query it asks for the dates to display the inbetween data.
I gave the inputs and the data is displayed properly.( So far what I have mentioned is all in Query designer).
In VC, I have used this query and it is having two ports named INPUT and VARIABLE. I know that I need to give input in variables. I selected the calander month variable from the list to display. After this I deployed the model. In the output screen the table is displayed and 1 text box is also available for the date input. I know that here I have to give date with same format as in Query designer output. I tried so many ways to give input by even selecting some other options like date picker but it is giving the following error - <b>Variable expects interval values; enter an interval.</b>
The date format which I m using in Query is "MM.YYYY" and I m using the same format in VC too.
Now I hope that u can understand better.
I want to know is there any other way through which this can enter interval value or what mistake I m doing in the above explained scenario?
Regards,
Chan

How to replace one variable with another in large number of queries

Hello guys!
I have this situation: our company needs to use one variable instead of another for certain amount of queries.
Is there some way to automatically replace one variable with another for a certain characteristic in big number of queries ( like 150 - 200 ) ? Doing this manually would take lots of time)
Apreciate your help!

you could try (at your own risk) the following:
1. search the technical id (ELTUID) of your variable in table RSZELTDIR
2. see where this variable is used in table RSZELTXREF (by filling RSZELTDIR-ELTUIID in RSZELTXREF-TELTUID)
3. add similar entries for your new variable
4. delete the entries for the old variable (they're part of the key, so you can't simply "change" them)

Why are you using dynamic SQL statements? Why not just use something like this instead in your PL/SQL. I also replaced the leading // in your Xpath with just / since you start from the root node.
select *
INTO l_dummy
from xmltable(XMLNAMESPACES('http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema' AS "XSD", default 'http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/'),
                '/definitions/types/XSD:schema/XSD:element'
                passing xmltype(l_xml)
                columns
                ab xmltype path '.' ) t;Also, the above returns two rows, which I suspect is not what you want. Here is the pure SQL version for you to debug.

How to Set a Variable with data from Srouce Data Store

Hello ODI Experts,
I have created a Physical & Logical Schema and a Source Data store to pickup data from a database table.
On the other hand, I have a few variable that I will pass in a web service call (ODIInvokeWebService tool).
Would yo please guide how I can set variables from my source data store.
Thanks & Regards,
Ahsan

Hello Bos/Damodhar/ODI Experts,
Doesn't it gives me a less optimized approach picking one column per query (per variable)?
Lets say, I have to pick 35 columns from a table and put those in 35 variables...It would mean running 35 queries for fetching one record from the database table.
Doesn't it seem less performance effective (less optimized)..a little scary..any thing better that I can do to make it more optimized?
Another question, what if multiple new values have come in the DB table, since I am using Refresh Variable, would this variable have multiple values in it?
Thanks for all your help,
Ahsan

How to call a variable with a loop count in it

First - I have a variable called "stages" this is a number
that can vary. Because it can vary I want to run things in a loop
based on the number that comes up as the stages variable amount.
Second is a loop
<cfloop index="riderCount" from="1" to "9">
Next, I have a query
<cfquery name="getPts" datasource="#application.dsn#">
SELECT *
FROM fantasy_racers
WHERE proName='#pro#''
</cfquery)
** Note: variable pro is set before the query **
I have colums in my table: pts1, pt2, pts3, etc. all the way
to pts25 for each pro in the table.
Now to the heart of the matter
I want to get the amount in each column. EX.: #getPts.pts1#
but since the number of stages can vary I don't want to hard
code for 25 outputs when there may only be 7
so how can I call the column amount but utilize a ridercount
in place of the number
#getPts.pts
ridercount#

You can reference query variables in an array-of-structures
notation:
myQuery["MyColumn"][row]
so you could do something like this:
#getPts["pts" & riderCount][1]#
Combine that syntax with Query.CurrentRow and
Query.recordCount and you should be able to put a loop together
that solves your problem.

How do I display variables with # in them?

Hello Cf peeps.
I let users of my site create unique usernames and upload pictures. They are then able to search those items for the exact name they entered.
Today a user signed up with the name goboy#4.
How can I avoid getting a cf error when on his profile page I output <cfoutput>#username#</cfoutput> where username = goboy#4?
Thanks!

Yes, because - as Reid said - # is a meaningful character in the composition of URLs... it's the separator between the path to the document, and an anchor within the document, eg:
http://domain/path/to/doc.html#nameOfAnchor
So you need to escape the # in the filename. Fortunately CF caters for this, with the urlEncodedFormat() function.
You should also familiarise yourself with how URLs work:
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1738

How to declare class variable with generic parameters?

I've got a class that declares a type parameter T. I know how to declare a static method, but this doesn't work for a static variable:
public class Test< T >
    * Map of String to instances of T.
    * error: '(' expected (pointing to =)
    * <identifier> expected (pointing to () )
   private final static < T > Map< String, T > MAP = new HashMap< String, T >();
    * Get instance of type T associated with the given key.
   public final static < T > T getType( String key )
      return MAP.get( key );

I'm trying to create a generic polymorphic Factory class that contains boilerplate code.
I don't want to have to rewrite the registration code every time I have a different return type and parameter.I haven't seen a case yet where that is reasonable.
If you have hundreds of factories then something is wrong with your code, design and architecture.
If you have a factory which requires large number of a varying input types (producing different types) then something is probably wrong with your code and design.
A reasonable factory usage is one where you have say 20 classes to be created and you need to add a new class every 3 months. Along with additional functionality represented by the class itself and perhaps variances in usage. Thus adding about 3 lines of code to one class is trivial. Conversely if you have hundreds of classes to be created by the factory and you are adding them daily then it is likely that
1. Something is wrong with the architecture which requires a new class every day.
2. You should be using a dynamic mechanism for creation rather than static because you can't roll out a static update that often.
More than that the idiom that leads to factory creation is different for each factory. A factory that creates a database connection is substantially different than the one used in dynamic rules logic processing. A generic version will not be suitable for both.
Actualy the only case I know of where such a factory might be seem to be a 'good' idea is where someone has gotten it into their head that every class should be represented by an interface and every class created by a factory (its own factory.) And of course that is flawed.

How to deploy Shared Variables with aliases (Project Variable), when some machines are offline?

Hi all,
I have a distributed application (PC + a few CompactRIOs). My PC contains variables that have aliasing enabled -- they are bound to variables on the cRIOs.
One of the cRIOs is currently offline. I'm trying to deploy some changes I've made on the PC side. Unfortunately, LabVIEW refuses to deploy my PC libraries, because it can't connect to the cRIO that the variables are bound to.
How can I bypass that check, and force my PC to update? (I don't see why it's compulsory for the cRIO to be online for this :-/)
Thanks in advance!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Thanks for responding, Esteban!
To answer your questions:
No error codes. The deployment dialog just says, "Failed to connect to Real-Time target". That's expected, because the cRIO is not connected to the network.
I'm binding simple numeric types only.
The cRIO has been taken offline for maintenance. I'd like to update my PC .lvlib files, and test some modified PC code, but I can't because LabVIEW won't let me deploy my PC libraries or run the VIs if it can't find the cRIO. (Here's another common use case: I'm developing software before I've received my hardware, and would like to test my VIs without a cRIO connected)
I've attached a minimal example (LV 2012 SP1). I have a VI on the PC that plots data from the cRIO, and processes local data. I'm trying to run the PC VI when the cRIO is offline.
Expected outcome: The VI should run, and "PC Output" should change according to "PC Input". "cRIO Output" should have a default value, and the PSP LED should be red -- mousing over the LED should say "Bad Quality".
Actual outcome: LabVIEW refuses to run the VI completely, saying "Failed to connect to Real-Time target".

Laurent, I had a similar problem some time ago : I didn't want to avoid multiple access, but only control who was doing what. That's because moving from Client/Server to Web the TERMINAL column in V$SESSION becomes useless.

How to avoid multiple DataConnections with LCD ES2

Hi, we are just starting using the data connections to connect via a database with LiveCycle Designer. It seems we are missing something important regarding to manipulation of data from the PDF.
At first we have tried to apply a INSERT command to our first table and be able to browse through the items in the database. We are able to browse through the database only before we have inserted something.
If we insert an item and then try to browse through the database with (Next, Previous, Last or First) it will crash and have an error of the following :
(Next, Previous, Last or First) failed. Multiple-step operation generated errors. check each status value [ID:@11]
So then we have decided to create a second data connection which would have each of the column in the database except for the ID which appears to make everything crash.
E.G.: Table_1
DataConnection1 --> ID, Field1, Field2, Field3, Field4 SELECT Command connection
DataConnection2 --> Field1, Field2, Field3, Field4 INSERT Command connection
Seems like we can't have a SELECT and INSERT in the same DataConnection because with those 2 different connections it works fine....
Then we are trying to show multiple data's in a table which is linked with the ID of the Selected ID in DataConnection1.. To show the data is all fine using a 3rd connection for that Table_2, then we are making sure a blank row is always there at the end of the table to be able to add this new entry to the database with a Add button to INSERT into the Table_2... Unfortunately we do not have a 2nd connection to that table because we cannot link those fields with the database for the purpose of a multiple entry view.
We have tried to make a 2nd connection for the purpose of the INSERT but it doesnt work at all.
We are basing ourselves on the sample provided by Stefan Cameron in his blog http://forms.stefcameron.com/2006/12/18/databases-inserting-updating-and-deleting-records/
I am wondering if we are using the right functionalities and if it is the simplest way to work with databases...
If anyone can help, it would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks in advance!
