Source file difference : XI vs PI

Hi ,
Wanted to check in our XI world when we used to get source file it used to show &apos instead of " ' " . In PI world ,it show " ' " and not &apos? can we change this display of characters to make XI look like PI ?
Thanks

Hi,
When you work with XI most of the time we handle apecial characters at mapping level.
But in PI7.1 ,we no need to handle at all,it automatically converts ,we can find the difference in Mapping.

Differences between various source files in mdm import manager

Hi,
Can anyone tell me the differences between the source files(access,xml,xml schema,excel) available in mdm import manager?
Thanks and regards,
Rithesh
Edited by: rithesh_shet on Mar 30, 2010 1:04 PM

Hi Ritesh,
MDM Import Manager provides flexibility to Import Data from different types of Sources into MDM.
You can import data into MDM from below mentioned sources using Import Manager:
1. From Files (Access, Delimited Text, Excel, Fixed Text, XML and XML Schema)
2. Directly from Data base source (SQL server and oracle)
As mentioned by Mandeep, XML Schema is something which you define in MDM console in advance. and then later select the Data source XML file and XML schema from drop down list (it will show all schema defined in console ) to validate XML source file against the XML schema.
For automated Import, Ports are used. Ports are nothing but a logical point of contact with other systems i.e. other systems or middleware will drop file on the port for authomatic import and MDM import server will scan the port directory and if file is present then will import data automatically from file into MDM using a predefine Import Map. (this map needs to be defined manually in import manager and then assigned to port using console).
Please check page no 45 of import manager reference guide for more details about various source properties of Import Manager. (*link for import manager reference guide is already provided on the earlier post)
Also check, page no 53 to 64 for how to import process. Kindly revert if you have any query.

Shiv

Difference between source file and source structure

Hello,
I have a source file with around 60 fields. But I need to upload only 5 fields. I defined a source structure in LSMW with 5 fields and specified the file with 60 fields as the source file. But when the data is read, only 2 out of 5 fields are read. What should I do?
Thank you

Hi !!
In case you are selecting only limited fields form a file with more fields in LSMW . Please apply following consideration :
1. Add a dummy field in your source structure to make the whole structure size equal to the total width of all fields in the source file. This is because in LSMW the file is read for the length of the SOURCE STRUCTURE width only . So if i want to read only field3 in following example i still need toa dda dummy field to ensure LSMW reads a total width of source file as the FIELD3 is at absolute end of the source file from length 40 to 60 only .
For example :
if my source file ahs following firve fields : FIELD1 (10) , FIELD2(30),FIELD3 (20) .
Declare your source structure as : FIELD3 (20),FIELD_DUMMY (40) .
2. When you deifne the source file in LSMW step 7 take care to notify whether you have field names at start of file or the field order is same as
source structure .
This should close your issue or get in touch for more here buddy

How do I save PDF files by default to the folder of the source file?

How do I save PDF files by default to the folder of the source file with Acrobat 9.0.0 Standard?

I am not seeing that behaviour. If I right-click a link to a .pdf file, I get the file saved with the original filename.
Maybe one of the settings in about:config controls that?
pdfjs.previousHandler.preferredAction is a setting that has a value of 4 with my setup. I have no idea what that means, and I could not find any explanation anywhere. You could try using different numbers for that value and see if any make any difference. Why has nobody bothered to explain that setting anywhere?

Sender FTP Adapter, text mode should convert source file?

Hi !
We have a Unix file system where systems and people drop files to be captured by XI. XI runs also on another Unix system.
We configured the Sender FTP comm channel from XI to use the TEXT mode, to have converted the captured file to Unix TEXT (eol = 0x0A), no matter the format of the file used to transfer the source file to the XI polling folder.
But we noticed that TEXT or BINARY modes in sender FTP adapter works all the same, like binary.
What are we doing wrong?
Thanks,
Matias

No. to see the difference put a gif and give txt in file adapter you will get an error for the same file u use binary it works.
their is difference b/w these . if you use special characters like european then you need to use UTF-8 or UTF-16 or bigInidan if it is binary then you output will junk charaters for these sysmobls

*Added* code to existing source file, compiled it, and class file shrunk

Another newbie here. Fortunately, my classpath is ok, so I'm able to compile a .java file.
I added one line of code (System.out.println) to write the value of a variable to a log. After compiling with javac, I noticed that the resulting [new] class file was smaller than the existing class file. I looked at each of the class files with Textpad. It's gibberish, but I quickly saw that a large block of code was missing in the new class file, even though the size of the source file had been increased.
There is a difference, however, between how the two class files were created. The existing class file was compiled (along with many others) by exporting an .EAR file from a development environment (WSAD) to the WebSphere Administrator Console. Conversely, I am now compiling the same source file with javac on my machine.
I suspect that this is the reason why I can add code to a .java file, compile it, and have the resulting class file actually lose code. Even if I am correct, I don't know what to do about it.
Does anyone have an idea?
Regards,
Daniel T.

Thank you both for your replies. I've read many posts over the past few months, and I know how important it is to provide as much info as possible, when asking a question here. That said, I have another tasty tidbit...
After replacing the existing (larger) class file with the new (smaller) class file, my application now produces this:
"*Error 500: LinkageError while defining class*..." [name of class]
*"...(Unsupported major.minor version 50.0) This is often caused by having a class defined at multiple locations within the classloader hierarchy. Other potential causes include compiling against an older or newer version of the class that has an incompatible method signature. Dumping the current context classloader hierarchy: ==> indicates defining classloader ==>[0] com.ibm.ws.classloader.CompoundClassLoader@6bd156d5 Local ClassPath:"*
...[the entire classpath]...
Original exception--- java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError:
I'm guessing that my focus should mostly be on the 'Original exception', and maybe I need to revisit the JRE or JDK or JVM (these terms are somewhat nebulous to me, so please forgive me using them interchangeably) on my machine. For now, I'll just keep trying stuff. Thanks again for the replies!

Need Target File Name Timestamp is same as Source File name Timestamp

Hi ,
I want to genereate Target file name (Target_09062008082030.xml) but this time stamp is exactly Sorce FileTime stamp..(Source_09062008082030.xml)..
so, i want to create a target file with the same source file time stamp..
for this.. i sed Message Specific attributes... in both sender and receiver side.. but that was creating with the complete name.of source file name.. but i want only Timestamp of the source filename... and remaing is the constant.. for this how can i proceed ..
Thanks
Jain

See in Sender CC when you set the Adapter Specific Message Attr for file name it will send the filename in the header of the XI Message.
To acces this file name inside mapping you need to create a UDF . The type can be any thing as you desire.
You dont need to pass any variable .if suppose you want the file name (constant) e.g ABC_<timestamp>.xml
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container.getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File","FileName");
String fileName= conf.get(key);
//see above your key is FileName which will be sent by the sender CC automatically... You are simply accessing it here using get() method.
//now ur filename will contain name of the source file... you need to perform a substring operation to get the timestamp and create a new file name as you desire.
fileName = "New_<timestmp>.xml"; //for e.g
//set this file name again in header message using put()
conf.put(key, fileName);
//when you check on the adapter specific message attr for fileName in the receiver CC ,it will automatically take this new file name value.
return fileName;
// if you want to use this new fileName inside your mapping payload (for other fields) you can assign this to any target field,else just assign it to the root tag which will make no difference if this file name is not used anywhere.

How to sort source file beforfe mapping

Dear all,
Its a file (fixed length) to Idoc(FIDCC1) scenario.
Source file has the following fields:
Date
Account
Cost Center
Debit Amount
Credit Amount
Etablissement
The mapping requirement is:
1. Per 'Etablissment' code, an Idoc(FIDCCP01) has to be generated.
2. Per IDOC, segment E1F1SEG has to be created for each line in flat file, for their respective etablissment code.
Per line in the flat file the difference between the debit and credit amount is the amount that has to be posted per segment (posted amount is always positive). If zero no segment is created
3. Date and Account fields would go into fields in segment E1FIKPF, this segment will not repeat, there'll be only one segement per idoc (like header data)
Now the issue is:
The source file is not sorted per etablissment code.
Etablissment can has value 001 in 1st and 3rd record and 002 in 2rd and 4th record. in this case, We need to create 2 idocs, 1 for code 001 and another for 002. Each IDOC should have 2 segments of E1FISEG, corresponsding to their etablissment code.
then for each idoc, the first record details should go to E1FIKPF segment of idoc.
I could create Idoc based on code, by the following mapping,
Etablissmentcode -> remove context -> sort -> split by value (value changed) -> collapse context -> IDOC
But i'm cluless as to how to go about with the logic of E1FISEG segment creation and populating other fields of E1FIKPF.
Please help me out. Is it achievable thruogh graphical mapping?

Hi ,
Please use the below logic for mapping
1. for creating IDOC=
Etablissement>sort>splitbyvalue(value change)>collapse contextIDOC
2. to create as many segment as of number of line item
Etablissement>sort>splitbyvalue(value change)-segment
3. foe each element under the segment
Etablissement>sort bye key>splitbyvale(each value)--> corresponding account at IDOC
Account-->
hope this will solve you problem.
thanks

Handling source files for multiple versions

Ok, I've looked around on the web and multiple discussions and have yet to find an answer. We currently have two authors working on the same help project that we have handled relatively successfully under RoboSource. Our development environment has changed so that we need to be able to support multiple versions of the help at once ie- release branch vs development branch that we want documented but it is not yet slated to be in the release.
I've looked at the help for RoboSource and there is an idea of branching but not much help on how this is done or if it really maintains two sets of the files, etc. I've also seen some postings on the forum for this that have gone unanswered. Makes me suspect that perhaps RoboSource doesn't really support multiple versions of help source files. I would be happy to admit that I'm wrong here.
Another option to solve our challenge is by committing our source files to the development source system, SVN. I've noticed some threads discussing this. I'm unsure from reading these posts if RoboHelp alerts you when you are about to modify a file, such fpj or hhk, that is being used by someone else like RoboSource does. Since we still have two authors playing in the same help project it would be most efficient if it would notify us before letting us write over one another's work.
Can anyone shed some light on:
1) does RoboSource really support multiple versions of the help source files and how it is done?
2) does RoboHelp notice when a file is locked in SVN and notify the other author to keep hands off until it is committed again?
3) is there somewhere better for me to research this?
Thanks you for any assistance you can provide,
Nita

We're using RSC 3.1 with RH 8 and with RH X5, and we've found that this is actually a two-step process:
Branching is the method for copying a snapshot of a folder (to establish two branches of the same source).
Reconciling (AKA forward/back patching) is the method for synchronizing edits between branches (or not, as the case may be).
For example, a "V12.3" branch of the "main" source has been prepared for one customer's specific needs. All edits to "main" will be forward patched to "V12.3," but edits to specific areas of "V12.3" will not be back patched to "main."
Tim, my boss, prepared the tutorials below, as much for himself as for us, and I have only stripped the screenshots to protect our intellectual property. Note also that we reference two publish locations, one for internal reviewing, and one for Release Engineering to include in our nightly product builds. Your environment might only have a single publish destination. Note also that the output files are never added to RSC.
Pay special attention to your folder naming process before you start, by anticipating any potential future branching needs. Folder renaming after the fact can be problematic in RH and RSC.
Good luck,
Leon
===================================
Branching Projects in RoboSource 3.1
Since the Help for RoboSource and Robohelp lack a proper explanation for branching and updating configuration files to support proper branching, this document has been created to assist in creating future branches.
Creating New Local Directories
Individuals must create new local path directories on their systems. We use the following conventions:
Ex. C:\902_imsmerge\projects (source folder)
Ex. C:\902_imsgenerate\mergedProjects (output folder)
Create New Server Directories
New server directories need to be created in two locations for holding the output files.
One is for the Robohelp output that gets put in the nightly .war file and checked into Perforce.
The other is in the wwwroot of our IIS server for our doc web site.
They are defined as follows:
\\docsql01\Documentation\RoboHelp\9.0.3\imsgenerate
\\docsql01\Inetpub\wwwroot\help_sys\9.0.3
Create new directories with the correct branch number.
Using RoboSource View Manager to Create a Branch
You use the View Manager to create a new branch. In RoboSource 3.1, a branch is just a different type of view.
Assume the version_903 branch has already been created. To create a new branch, click the Create button and name the new branch (version_910), leaving a blank root folder.
Click on Set Root to define the root folder for the new branch.
Select the root for the branch and click OK.
Select the view (branch) and click Properties. In the Properties window, select Branch as the Type, then click Close.
In the View Manager, check the check box to enable the view.
Setting the Local Path for the New Branch
Select the new branch and right-click.
Type in or browse to the correct local path, check the Apply Recursively box, click Apply. Close the Properties window.
Editing .xpj Files
The .xpj files in the new branch need to be edited to point to the new branch. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT. IF NOT DONE ROBOHELP WILL CHECK IN CHANGES TO BOTH THE BRANCH AND THE ROOT.
One line in each project’s .xpj needs to change. See below.
This value must match the branch the project lives in. In our above new branch example this would be changes to %version_910.
In a merged project, you can change all these at once with the FAR tool.
Edit the .ssl and .sss files
These files need to be edited to redefine the generating and publishing paths. Note that this can also be accomplished with the FAR tool, or by having each writer do it through the GUI.
ssl Files
The .ssl files contain the data for the generate path. Although there might be seven .ssl files for each project, you only need to edit the ones for your Primary Layout and one or two others that you might also use.
Make sure the generate path is defined correctly.
sss Files
The .sss file defines the publishing paths. This edit can also be done through the GUI if necessary.
====================================
Forward and Back Patching in RoboSource
This document describes the procedure of forward or back patching files (.htm or .gif) between branches in the RoboSource system. The RoboSource product uses a feature called Reconcile Changes to accomplish patching between branches.
Example Scenario
Throughout this document we will use a real life example from the refwindows project.
We have edited the version 9.0.3 security_master_folder.htm file in RoboHelp.
Now, we need to backpatch it to version 9.0.2.
Selecting Folders or Files to Reconcile
You can select either:
A single file for reconciliation
The source folder, or
The destination folder
If you have just one file to reconcile, you will probably want to use the single file method. If you have several files to reconcile, you will need to use the folder method.
Working from the Source Folder
Select the source folder (folder that contains the updated file) in source control. In our case, %version_903/refwindows.
Select Reconcile Changes … from the Action menu. This opens the Reconcile window.
Select the appropriate option in the Reconcile window.
In our example we select the first option to reconcile from %version_903 because that is where our updated file is. Make sure the correct project is selected in the drop-down list. ($/version_902/refwindows).
Other Options
Reconcile changes made in another branch *into %verison_903/refwindows. This is the option you would use if you have an updated file in another branch that you want to put in 903.
Reconcile changes made locally (in c:\903_imsmerge\projects\refwindows) and %version_903/refwindows. We would most likely never use this option.
Reconcile changes made in another database *into* this database. Do not use.
None of the above, let me select what to Reconcile. This one sounds like it would be a good option, but it gets even more complicated.
Wildcard Filter. Use this to display only certain file types. For example, *.htm;*.gif;*.jpg would filter on those file types.
Click OK to open the Difference Reconciliator window.
Notice that this window shows all files in the project that have differences such as the .ssl and .xpj files.
IMPORTANT: NEVER reconcile these files, they are supposed to be different.
You can prevent these files from displaying by using the Wildcard Filter discussed above.
Select the appropriate file (security_master_folder.htm). This window will allow you to replace the file in the version_902 project unfortunately, it will also allow you to replace the updated file with the older one. Be Careful Here.
You can also View Differences from this window by clicking the View Differences link.
Click the Replace button in the $/version_902 pane.
You will get a confirmation dialog. Before clicking OK, take the time to read the question. This is your opportunity to catch potential mistakes!
You will then get the Reconcile Checkout dialog.
Be sure Perform the action directly on the Server is checked, click OK.
You see that the Difference Reconciliator window now indicates No changes to merge from %version_903/rewindows/security_master_folder.htm in the $version_902 pane.
Close the window.
Check the Destination Folder
In the source control window go to the destination branch and check the project. You can see in this shot that the security_master_folder.htm file now shows the date it was replaced, and that the server version is now different from your local version.
Working from the Destination Folder
If you had chosen the destination folder and select Reconcile Changes, the same window would have opened but with different options.
Here you would have selected the second option to reconcile into $/version_902.
You can do it either way, just pay careful attention to the options. The rest of the process is the same.

Segment Creation based on a value in Source file

Hi friends
Guide me in this problem :
i have a file to idoc scenario in which the idoc has this structure:
this is one condition which i want to achieve
i dont want to create the segment E1WPU03 if Diff_price in source file is 0
Thanks

Hi,
input Difference price & constant value(0)->equals functions->not function->createif function-> map it to target E1WPU03 segment.

Cannot open source file

I just downloaded some new drum sounds on Logic Pro X that were offered upgrades and now I get an error message in my regular work that states,
"Cannot open source file" when I go to import an mp3 large file into any template or new project.
I've trashed preferences and have plenty of room to import the large files I usually work with.
Need guidance please.

Thanks Pancenter, that helped. I still hear a slight difference in the tone of voice speaking in a 48k session also.
Do you think this is the difference of being recorded at 44.1 mp3, then change to m4a and export the now 48k file into a 48k Logic session? I didn't see a way of changing Quicktime Player sample rate to 44.1, which is preferred in this instance. Future recordings I can set up at 48k but I have a bunch of files at 44.1 waiting for me that need a solution first.
Whew, and yes what a pain to do this when it worked fine before. (although for my work, I would prefer to edit as mp3 instead of turning into AIF then mp3 again- too much giggage wasted for this use)
Still open to other solutions without undoing the new sounds & such I just upgraded.

Cant read from source file

I´ve been using Compressor 4 for a long time, but thought I would give AME a try to see if there is any difference in quality. I added about 70 ProRes clips to the render que, each is between 4 and 30 seconds. These are clips with a lot of animation and effects, but they have already been exported to 1920 x 1200 ProRes files. I have 6 different presets: DXV and PhotoJPEG codec with three different resolutions each. When I start the que I get an error message saying that source file cant be read. Please check if it

Office 365 ProPlus Source files & Updates.

Morning everybody,
Still planning my O365 deployment, so the following is so far has only been applied to a small number of test machines.
When updating O365 on my endpoints, the source of those updates is set by the configuration.xml I use when running the initial install. As the updates are not likely to amount to a huge amount of data, the updatepath is set to a network share.
In the same config.xml, the sourcepath is set as a local path on the machine, because rather than having 4000 machines all try to pull over a gig of source files down over the network (half of which will be on via VPN), it made sense to stage them locally
via SCCM for the sake of that initial setup.
My questions are as follows:
When updating, does the sourcepath set in the config.xml need to still exist on the local machine, or do the updates go straight into the Program Files folder?
Once that initial setup is complete, is there any reason those source files which I've stored locally shouldn't be deleted?
Many thanks,
AP

Hi,
As per your description, I understand that you've deployed Office 365 with a customized configuration.xml file. In the XML file, the
SourcePath attribute was set to a local path, and the UpdatePath
was set to a network share.
With this configuration, your Office 365 will check the update path for updates instead of using the cloud as the “update source.” The difference – or delta – between the new build and the existing one will be installed directly when Office apps/processes
aren’t running.
The build/source in your sourcepath is not involved during the whole update process, you can delete it after the initial installation.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Ethan Hua
TechNet Community Support
It's recommended to download and install
Configuration Analyzer Tool (OffCAT), which is developed by Microsoft Support teams. Once the tool is installed, you can run it at any time to scan for hundreds of known issues in Office
programs.

Forms source code difference

Hi All,
I had two same forms of different source coding, i need to find out the difference between the source code, is their any utility to find out the source code difference. Iam using forms 5.0
Thanks

Anil,
you can convert the fmb to txt file using file-->administration-->object list report in the form builder.
do the same for both forms. if u have an editor like ultra edit u can compare those two txt files.

Generate xml source file for Oracle Order Capture Print Quote

Hi,
I am new to xml and need to work on creating templates for Print Quote.
I am trying to generate the xml source file for which I enabled the report in system administrator and set the output to XML and assigned to Quoting Reports responsiblity. I then assigned XML Report Publisher to the same responsiblity.
I ran the report (Print Quote) and then I am trying to run the XML Report Publisher but I cannot get the request id in the list of values.
I am able to generate xml source file for other reports like Printed Purchase Order etc.,
The view output for the (Print Quote) report is as follows:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
- 
<ASOPQTER />
How do I get the xml source file? Or are there seeded templates that I can use to create more templates? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Ravi

Hi, I am in the same position - did this issue ever ger resolved by anyone. I have done a few XMLP reports successfully now using the Word add-in, but customising the Quote output differs from other standard reports.
If you look at the data definition for Quote it is a 'dummy' definition and has no XML file attached. Does anyone know how I can get the XML format for the report output?
Also the template uses XSL-FO ?!?!?! rather than RTF - not sure how to work with this, the Oracle docs are not very helpful in this regard either.
Has anyone successfully managed to customise the Quote print report? Many thanks,
Roger
