Switching from delimited to fixed width and had to retype 115 column names
Hi we run 2012 enterprise. I just changed a delimited flat file over to fixed width and had to retype all 115 column names. Is there a way to preserve at least some of what ssis already knows (eg col names) in the flat file connection when
this kind of changeover is occuring?
Thx Mike. I appreciate your help so dont take this the wrong way.
Lets be honest. This kind of behavior and some of the others I've posted recently when it comes to switching in and amongst flat file formats (fixed,unicode,unnecessary data type conversion etc etc) in ssis cannot possibly be by "design".
You might think I'm arrogant but hear me out. As a graduate from one of the better engineering schools in the US and having earned a BSCS from that school, my thinking is that even a first year college student would design this little part of
ssis in a more flexible fashion. And the sad part is that legacy mainframe technologies from way way back baked this kind of flexibility into their products without add ins. SSIS is purportedly .net technology and as such should follow the
most fundamental rules of OO which include flexibility and reusability.
We should be more careful about the term "by design". I believe this is actually a limitation which I'm sure would have been dealt with had there been more time, money and experience invested. One of my other posts cites a recommendation (from
ssis) that displays along with one of these flat file errors and has something to do with dt_ntext. But the recommendation actually doesnt work. So are we going to say that a recommendation that doesnt work is also by design? I dont think
so. By design infers "for valid reasons". And I dont believe there are any valid reasons for this/these behaviors. If there are , pls share.

Hello,? I have tried everything i could find to fix this but i'm at my witts end here. i just recently upgraded my computer from and A8V Delux motherboard so that i could go to PCI-e A8N-SLI Premium. Upon reformatting the Hard Dri've. i could not get the SPDIF to work correctly it'll let me switch from 48 to 96 KHz, and in the Bit Matching section it won't let me do anythign at all. i have links to the screen shots i took of the 2 windows in Audio Console, they are as follows.SPDIFhttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...ight/SPDIF.jpgAnd? the Bit Matchinghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...itMatching.jpgI'm currently useing the Sound Blaster X-Fi Fatality Extreme Gamer Pro sound card. To show i have read up, i have switch? PCI slots and have even did a complete windows reapir and stil nothing. after searching here on the forum for the 3 days or so i haven't been able ot get them to work. any help? would be greatly welcomed.
?????????Thank You.ok i installed winamp which uses 24bit audio when enabled, had the CAC set up for entertainment mode. and still could not get 24bit audio. i used SiSoftware Sandra Pro, and did a hardware test on my audio card. which is the Sb Fatality extreme gamer pro. andseachign through all the audio settings it only shows my sound card using 6bit audio. while playign MP3's through winamp. i have no cracking or popping noises just unable ot have 24bit audio coming from the sound card. any idea's. i have tried everythign that has been posted in this thread before i even made my first post to fix the problem. is this a known issue or something. cause it's ticking me off to have paid $45 for a good sound card and not get my 24bit audio and no dolby audio in games.

I switched from att to charter internet and change e-mail address. I keep getting messages telling me my at&t iCloud account is not connected. How do I get rid of the at&t iCloud message?
Hi adamsfly,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. Based on what you stated, it sounds like you changed your email address and iCloud is looking to sign in with the old Apple ID email. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.
What to do after you change your Apple ID email address or password - Apple Support
Cheers,

Traded in my iPhone for a different brand of phone. I had no idea that I had to sign out of iMessage before doing this. Now, my old phone is gone and my new phone cannot receive texts from people who have iphones and had me as a contact before. They try to send an iMessage and I have no way to receive an iMessgae now. On some server somwhere my AppleID still tells people they should send me iMessages. What is the solution to this issue? Deleting my AppleID would work to solve this issue, but I cannot ever delete the ID? What can Apple do for this?
If you did not erase your apps and data before getting rid of your old phone, try using Find My Phone and erasing everything remotely. See if this works.

Fix width and height of accordion
Hi All
I am building an application using jquery accordion on region 3 of page 0. In each subregion I have a treeview and when a node is choosen shows details about this node. My issue is how to fix width and height of accordion. I tried with jquery tabs instead of accordion and I put this on region header 'style=\"overflow-x:auto;display:block;max-width:340px;min-width:340px;overflow-y:auto;max-height:450px;min-height:450px;";" ', and closing tag at region footer and it worked.
Any idea?
Thanks a lot.

Theme: 13

Version: 4.0.2.00.06Hi Jitu
Thank you for your replay but it didn't work as I need.
I made the following test. I put on region attribute \style="width:350px;". When each subregion of accordion has only a treeview, it didn't work. When I created another subregion into accordion with a simple report, it worked fine.
I don't know what is going on and also how to fix it.
Any other idea?

Switching from Entourage to ical, mail, and address book- duplications?
I am tired of the slowness of Entourage and was thinking of switching to all of the native mac programs. Any suggestions or comments on whether this is a good idea or not?
Also, will all of my information be duplicated. I have about 3 gigs of information and I don't want to needlessly store it if I don't need to. Can I get some advice on where to find and extract that information from the entourage program so I am not eating up disc space unnecessarily.
Thank you.Three weeks ago I switched from Entourage and Palm Desktop to Apple mail, address book and ical. It was a tad painful because I ended up with a lot of duplicates as I had email and some contact info in Entourage and several thousand contacts in Palm Desktop.
However after a couple of solid nights sorting out the duplicates all the contact info for each person is now in one place.
Word of warning though when you are checking address book entries make sure you keep backing up the changes (File - Backup address book) because for some inexplicable reason a couple of times all the entries in address book vanished.
Also the check for duplicates option in address book might be great for some but for me it created contacts that had their addresses and phone numbers duplicated several times.
After initial teething problems (getting used to the different programs) I am now pretty happy with the changeover. I am ecstatic to not be seeing the constant Entourage error message of 'your database is damaged and needs to be rebuilt' which entourage kept throwing at me (even after repeated rebuilds).
I have a Palm Treo and Address Book and iCal sync fine with that as well (after installing the conduit).
You'll also find in mail that you can't do as much snazzy formatting as you could with Entourage (ie numbered lists and bullet points) but hopefully Apple will address that in later updates. In the meantime if I'm desperate for formatting I write the email in rtf and paste it across complete with bluet points.
Sorry to drone on but wanted to give you some moral support.
Oh by the way the entourage data is stored in Home folder - Documents - Microsoft User Data - Office 2004 Identities - main identity - database (almost need a compass and flashlight to find it). To be on the safe side burn it to a dvd just in case and then trash it and all it's little friends (rules, lists, signatures and the other main identity folders.
Good luck -
Out of memory error - from parsing a "fixed width file"
This may be fairly simple for someone out there but I am trying to write a simple program that can go through a "fixed width" flat txt file and parse it to be comma dilmeted.
I use a xml file with data dictionary specifications to do the work. I do this because there are over 430 fields that need to be parsed from a fixed width with close to 250,000 lines I can read the xml file fine to get the width dimensions but when I try to apply the parsing instructions, I get an out of memory error.
I am hoping it is an error with code and not the large files. If it is the latter, does anyone out there know some techniques for getting at this data?

I have tried to illeminate as many arrays as I can thinking that was chewing up the memory but to no avail.
Any thoughts or ideas?

SaipanMan2005You should not keep a String array of all the lines of the file read.
Instead for each line read, parse it, then write the parsed line in the other file: public void loadFixedWidthFile() {
BufferedReader in = null;
BufferedWriter out = null;
try {
//File must be in same director and be the name of the string below
in = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("files/FLAT.txt"));
out = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter("files/outfilename.txt"));
String str;
while ((str = in.readLine()) != null) {
//System.out.println(str.length());
str = parseThatLine(str);
//write out the parsed str to another file
out.write(str);
catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace(); // At least print the exception - never swallow an exception
finally { // Use a finally block to be sure of closing the files even when exception occurs
try { in.close(); }
catch (Exception e) {}
try { out.close(); }
catch (Exception e) {}
}//end loadFixedWidthFile()Regards -
I switched from a 4S to a 5, everything updated to the cloud and resync-ed to my computer nicely except for my calender.
I have all of my data going back to 2010, however from march 2012 to now i only have the 'home' calender options showing up. All of my 'work' appointments are completely gone, and i can't find them anywhere. Is there a setting I should check out? or are they completely gone?- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.
Apple - iPod Repair price
A third-party place like the following will replace the jack for less. Google for more.

Layers-fixed width and/or embeding in a table
I have been setting up a site and am trying to use one, the
other or both techniques. For a specific design I wanted to use
layers with a fixed width. I assign the width in the properties but
when I enter text it does not wrap, instead the layer expands. Then
I thought I could keep the layer from expanding by embeding it in a
table cell. The layer does not seem to care that it is in a table
cell. The layer expands regardless of anything I have done so far.
Is there anybody that can help with this issue or am I out of
luck?
Thanks in advance.> I assign the width in the properties but when I enter

> wrap
Try adding a space to the text you enter.
> Then I thought I could keep the layer from
> expanding by embeding it in a table cell.
Never put a layer directly into a table cell. You will get

I am switching from an acer laptop to a MacBook Pro. I may have to hand in my laptop before I receive my new MacBook. What is the best way to back up my files so that I can transfer them to my MacBook. I cloud cannot be installed on my laptop because it uses a version of windows that is older and doesn't support it. Hope someone can help.
Connect a blank powered external drive to the PC.
Right click on the Disk in the File manager and choose format: exFAT
(if it's a XP machine, first install exFAT from Microsoft and reboot)
navigate to your user account folders on the PC and drag and drop copy (or copy and paste) to the external drive.
(if a program has your files, then export them out first)
Hook up the drive to the Mac, and transfer files to the desktop or to their same appropritate folders.
Import photo's into iPhoto program, import music into iTunes etc and they will manage those files.
You can continue to use the external exFAT drive between Mac's and PC's
Do not format the drive NTFS or FAT, NTFS can't be written too by the Mac and FAT can't hold over 4GB sized files.
If you format exFAT on the Mac, it likely won't work correctly on the PC.
"Migration" type programs are a utter waste of time and effort between PC's and Mac's for the fact that only certain files (and no programs or anything else) will work between them, also it's a hassle and takes too long. So don't even bother with it. -
