String into un readable format

Hi all,
i have filed of 120 characters, the data in the field is passed to bar code label. and i will print this barcode.
Now i will read this bar code using scanner. at that time the data present in the label is displayed in text file, this is readable by all.
but i dont wanrt this text in readable form.
Is there any function module to make it un readable. and when i need this should be radable, how to achieve this.
Rgds
Ramesh

Hi,
If you are using BARONE for desining your barcode, it generates the printer codes in background. You can simply take the code and use it in your SAP Script as it is passing the parameters.
OR Tcode SE73 - to define BARCODE fonts and use it in your form.
Hope this solves your problem very easily.
Regards,
Gaurang

Convert XML string into an abap format date and time

Hi,
Does anyone know of a method or a function module in ABAP which converts XML string into an abap format date and time.
Here is a part of the xml that I want to convert.
<ns2:EventDateTime>2009-07-02T10:13:45+10:00</ns2:EventDateTime>
<ns2:EventMessageTransmissionDateTime>2009-07-02T10:13:45.987+10:00</ns2:EventMessageTransmissionDateTime>
Currently EventDateTime and EventMessageTransmissionDateTime are type XSDDATETIME_Z and these are converted to proper dates and times. We will be changing these fields to a STRING instead of XSDDATETIME_Z. The reason for this is to make the field more versatile. The customer would be receiving dates with Zulu (2009-09-23T12:00:00Z), with offsets (2009-09-23T12:00:00+10:00/-10:00) and just local timestamp (2009-09-23T12:00:00). With this, we need to make the date fields as string
to be able to accept the various date formats (esp. the local timestamp).
I am looking for a standard function module or method that will convert the xml string to a proper date and time abap format.
Would appreciate anyone's help!
Thanks.

Converting a string into mySQL date format

I have a bit of code that collects data values from a bean and I want it to then insert this into a mySQL database. My string is in the format "23/12/1983", how can i put this into a date field in my database? The bit of code I have got so far looks like this...
String month = formHandler.month + "/";
String day = formHandler.day + "/";
String year = formHandler.year ;
StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
sb.append(day);
sb.append(month);
sb.append(year);
String myDate = sb.toString();myDate is the value that I want to go into the database

Limo2kz,
The key to inserting a date into a database is to convert the date string into an SQL friendly format. i.e. yyyy-MM-dd.
One way of doing this is as follows:
SimpleDateFormat NICE_DATE_FORMAT =
new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy");
SimpleDateFormat SQL_DATE_FORMAT =
new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
Date date = new Date();
try {
date = NICE_DATE_FORMAT.parse(dateString);
} catch (ParseException pe) {
pe.printStackTrace();
String sqlDate = SQL_DATE_FORMAT.format(date);
Now it is just a matter of creating the insert statement like normal, and making sure that the date string is in quotes.
I hope that helps.

How to convert a string into orcle date format

i need some information about converting string into date format.i have string like '20-SEP-05' .so we have to convert into date formate like yy-mm-dd' (2005-09-20).how can we do it.

How to change in sql_text into normal readable format?

hi all
yesterday inour production environment the dev. did wrongly updated one query.
they want to know who and when did the changes?
i found some info from dba_audit_object,
but in that table the column for sql_text is not showing the full query ,it shows the update table_name set column name=new row id where =old row id..
by using this query i dont know how to trace the sql_query in norma readble format.
pls help me to sort out this issue..
Thanks

Hi
I am little confused with your question...
>

>
If you are getting back the update table_name set column name=new row id where =old row id.. statement then you can get back the values you want.so, what does by using this query i dont know how to trace the sql_query in norma readble format mean.The update statement is in readable format only.
The answer for who and when changed it is
select USERNAME,to_char(TIMESTAMP,'DD-MON-YY HH24:MI:SS'),USERHOST,TERMINAL,OWNER,OBJ_NAME,ACTION_NAME,SQL_TEXT from DBA_AUDIT_OBJECT;
The username will be the database username who updated the column.Timestamp will tell you the time when it was done,terminal will give the terminal name of the PC,owner is the object's owner and sql_text is the update command fired by the username on the owner's table.

Converting a Digital Voice File (DVF) into a readable format.

Hi there,
I just bought a Sony digital voice recorder which records files in a format that gets tagged with the extension "DVF" and a Windows machine recognizes as "digital voice file"s. I can't seem to get iTunes to read them. I'm sure it's not a compatible format, but does anyone know of a utility or program or something that will convert DVFs into something a bit more accessible (WAV, MP3, whatever?)
Many thanks in advance for your help.
Josh from Dublin

Best way to find something is google "DVF converter".

Converting swing components into some readable format

Hello all,
A requirement for the application I'm writing is for it to email automatically generated reports to various clients. My problem is that I'm not sure what would be the best format to send the reports. The reports are attached to the email and the sent via JavaMail.
I have 2 modes of thought at this stage:
1. Convert a Report (Printable Swing component) to HTML and either attach this or embed it in an email. Question here is how do I convert the Report to HTML?
2. Print the Report using Adobe Distiller. Once the pdf is created, attach it to the email and send. Problem is that it's unlikely that other users of my software have Distiller. Any Swing to PDF packages that anyone knows of?
To give you some idea of exactly what I'm doing, please look at the following 2 links.
1. A screen shot of the Report:
http://www.genepi.waimr.uwa.edu.au/radar/storage/report.jpg
2. The Report after it's been printed with Distiller:
http://www.genepi.waimr.uwa.edu.au/radar/storage/report.pdf
Note: The previous files will be removed from the server in a couple of days.
Also, I'm open to any other suggestion! So if anyone has a good idea, please post it!
Thanks,
Muel.

Thanks for your reply.No problem. Interesting problem, as a matter of fact.
Those reports are created dynamically from querying a
database. A Report itself is a JDialog, the
content-pane of which uses a custom LayoutManager.
The LayoutManager controls a Book and decides whether
or not to add JLabels to the current ReportPage (a
Printable JPanel), or to create a new ReportPage and
add them to it.This is where I don't quite agree with your approach. I don't know if you're familiar with the MVC concept because this is typically the issue you're dealing with here. I hope I'm not misinterpreting what you said but it seems you are storing the content of your database query directly in a particular View (a violation of the MVC principle).
What you need to do is create a true Model which will hold the logic of what your Reports really are. From what I understood with your image, this class should contain member variables such as addresses, a title, funny notes ;) ...
Displaying your report in a JDialog is all about creating the most appropriate View for that Model. Using a custom document with its own LayoutManager, JLabels... is, IMHO, a very pragmatic, convenient choice. It is not the only possible choice however. What if, in the future, you wanted to allow the user to copy / paste the report outside your application ? What if, you wanted to allow him/her to edit it prior to printing it?
Your other requirements involve a printable version of your report and one that can be sent by email. It turns out that HTML is a good pick. Personally, I once had to print HTML and the advices I found at http://www.fawcette.com/javapro/2002_12/online/print_kgauthier_12_10_02/ were quite precious (paging is nicely handled). Moreover, sending html in a mail is piece of cake.
All it comes down to is how to produce that HTML. Forget about my suggestion of creating a StyledDocument. It might work but writing HTML directly is much faster and easier. The only real constraint here is that the produced HTML should be 3.2 valid. In your case, this serialization should be conducted on the Model, NOT on the View.
I forgot to mention that once you'll have produced that "html report writer" class, you'll have to reconsider using a JTextPane for your Report display JDialog.

Is this the correct output?
Cheers,
Sach

Output would very based on which file you are trying to convert.
TKProf can be run from anywhere, even from the client (for administrator type installation AFAIK) of preferably the same Oracle version.
Best would be to run the same from the database server itself, as there would be no conflicts about versions and interpretation of trace data by the tkprof utility. F.ex. prior to 10g, all timings in trace files were in milliseconds whereas in 10g, it is saved in microseconds.

String into date format

Hi
I was wondering if anyone knew how to convert a string into different formats,
to enable it to be stored in a mysql db.
I was wondering anyone you knew how to convert:
- String into the date format yyyy-mm--dd
- String into time format 00:00:00
- string to double
Ive tried:
c_date = java.sql.Date.valueOf(f_date);
System.out.println("conversion data: " +c_date);
c_time = java.sql.Time.valueOf(f_time);
System.out.println(" time converted data: "+c_time);
// string to double conversion
c_change = java.lang.Double.valueOf(f_change);
System.out.println(c_change);
My class doesnt execute this at all?
Also,
SimpleDateFormat sdft = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
c_date = sdft.format(f_date);
System.out.println(c_date);
.. but this method returns the error incompatible types?
Any suggestions would be helpful.. thanks in advance..

Converting the Opaque Element into Readable format.

Hi,
Right now, I am using the FTP adapter to continously poll for a new file. Whenever new file comes in, our BPEL process gets initiated. We get the contents of the file in the variable of opaque element( I have given Message Schema is Opaque in the FTP Adapter configuration).
I have to send the content of the file as the attachment in the e-mail. So when I am using the above variable in the e-mail notification, I am getting the data in the non-readable format, since the corresponding variable is of opaque schema. Now my requirement is to convert this non-readable opaque data into the readable data.
Any help is highly appreciatable.

Sorry the code I gave you was decodeing a hex variable into string.
Try this code:
String input = (String)getVariableData("InputBinary");
Base64Decoder Decoder = new Base64Decoder();
String decoded = Base64Decoder.decode(input);
setVariableData("OutputString",decoded);
you will also need to add the java class:
<bpelx:exec import="com.collaxa.common.util.Base64Decoder"/>
Just looking at the Base64 string you are testing. It is missing the 'g' off 'Testing'. The correct binary string should be VGVzdGluZw==
I'm not sure how this code is getting generated but you may need to look in that.
If you want the code to encode into binary use this:
String input = (String)getVariableData("InputString");
Base64Encoder encoder = new Base64Encoder();
byte[] barray = (new String(input)).getBytes();
BigInteger bint = new BigInteger(barray);
String encoded = Base64Encoder.encode(barray);
setVariableData("OutputBinary",encoded);
add the java class:
<bpelx:exec import="com.collaxa.common.util.Base64Encoder"/>
sorry for putting you wrong.
cheers

How do I copy/paste full numerical-only account strings into the Projects WebADI template when the account segment fields in the template require use of the dropdown because they're formatted as alpha-numeric values?

How do I copy/paste full numerical-only account strings into the Projects WebADI template when the account segment fields in the template require use of the dropdown because they're formatted as alpha-numeric values? I'm using the Integrator named "Projects - Transaction Import" and a custom Layout created based on the seeded Layout named "Transaction Import - Accounted". Do I need to somehow change my Layout to make the Document accept numerical values instead of requiring alpha-numeric values? I need to be able to populate the Document with a large amount of transactions and cannot feasibly go through every transaction to add the alpha-valued name of the account segment to every segment that requires it. The segments in particular causing the problem are "Expnd Type" and "Organization Name" which are both alpha-numeric and as such contain the segment number and name; I need to be able to only have to enter the Natural Account Number (6-digit number only) and the Organization Number (5-digit number only).

Xerces has a class called OutputFormat
If you have your XML document in memory, you can format it using the method setIndenting(true) on the OutputFormat class. The following is an example:
assuming xmlDoc is our document and fileName is the name of the file we wish to write to:
OutputFormat format = new OutputFormat(xmlDoc);
// setup output file name
PrintWriter printwriter = new PrintWriter(new FileWriter(fileName, false));
// construct an XMLSerializer for writing the document
XMLSerializer serializer = new XMLSerializer( printwriter, format );
// Ensure output is indented correctly...
format.setIndenting(true);
// set serializer as a DOM Serializer
serializer.asDOMSerializer();
// serialize the document
serializer.serialize(xmlDoc);
hope this helps!

Is there a way (or a plugin) to export develop settings into a readable file format?

For online educational/sharing purposes, I'd like to be able to export my LR develop settings into a readable text format so that if I share a before/after picture I can also include the LR develop settings that went into creating the after picture. I've looked for 2 days and I can't find a plug-in that will do this.

The List View plugin can export develop settings as a CSV file for Excel or HTML for a browser.
If you're technically minded and comfortable with scripting, it's straightforward to write a script that reads the settings from the XMP metadata stored in the .xmp sidecars (for raws) or in the XMP metadata section of JPEGs and TIFFs. Open a .xmp sidecar in your favorite text editor to get a flavor of how the develop settings are stored there.
