Using the "Data Merge Tool"

Hi everyone,
I have a 2 questions about the data merge tool. I understand how to use a CSV file to replace dynamically any text I desire.
1. Can I use this same tool to replace pictures? Say, like if I create baseball cards for an entire team.
2. If I use it for creating business cards, but I only need to create ONE card at a time... I like how the "Records per document" option that optimizes the page size to fit as many as possible. Ok, to the question; How can I print one record at a time, multiple times (say 20 per page) and include art for the other side of the page (double side print, that does not contain variable data, just a background)? I just need to make sure the tool knows how to line the art up, so that when it is cut, the front and back art is aligned properly.
Thank you for your time.
Rafa.

Hi Lori
Many thanks the binding was set to 'none'.

How to I connect using the Data Mining Tool if Windows Athentication is a seperate AD account

I use a ERP solution in a Cloud which provides SQL Analysis Services and Cubes. They create for us users within their Domain AD separate from our local (in house) AD. When I attempted to use the setup up tool to connect to Analysis Services that I do not
administer it did not give me the option to authenticate as a different user or account other then my own domain.
I am using SQL 2012 and Microsoft Excel 2013

There is no use for testing named pipes. As I said - it is an excellent method for IPC. It is slow and unscalable for networking, especially WANs.
A few minutes of googling this subject and doing some bit of research, would highlight this quite clearly.
BTW - if you think named pipes are better for tcp, then don't you think Oracle would have recommended its use? Heck, Oracle recommends using the RDS protocol for the RAC Interconnect. A protocol not widely known outside the HPC environment. So surely they would have sung the praises of more commonly known named pipes for tcp if it was any good?
Which again points to the fact that it ain't good and your wasting your time by trying to be "clever" and barking up the wrong tree.

JS - Save File as Field Name in the Data Merge Source File

Hi All - I need some help...
I'm trying to figure out the JavaScript code to save an indd file using the data merge source file field value.
As an example...
Let's say I have an invoice template called template.indd that is linked to invoice.txt.
To make it easy, let's say the text file has 1 field called "invoice number" with a value of 123
I run data merge.
Now I want to save the merged indd file as 123.indd
I've got everything figured out in JS except getting the source text file data into a variable to use when saving. This one's been giving me fits for hours!
Is this possible??
Thanks very much

Did you ever get this to work?

Indesign CC 9.2 crashes upon opening the data merge panel

I have a document that's in a book (of multiple files) with cross references to other documents in the book. I also have almost all the content in an inCopy assignment in order to manage multiple versions/layouts with the same content. All cross references are unlinked from inCopy as the page numbers vary from book to book.
That said, while other documents in the book work fine, this one is having issues. Whenever I try to view the data merge panel it crashes. I had a similar problem with other files where if I try to select a data merge source it would crash. I fixed the problem by saving a copy, deleting all pages from the document, selecting the data merge source (which now works with no content on the pages), then copy/pasting the content back onto the pages. Not sure why this works but it did.
The problem is that I tried the same solution on this document and now, and it worked until I tried click on the data merge panel after following those steps, inDesign crashes. If I open the data merge panel, THEN open the document, it crashes as well.
I am going to attempt to redo this with the data merge panel open while I copy/paste content back in and see if I can narrow down the problematic content if that's the issue.

I actually tried this already, it still crashes and the error is reproducible on four different computers here: 1 Mac and 3 Windows machines. I didn't even restore my old preferences, I just did the reset and it still has the issue. Note it's not crashing when I use data merge, simply when I try to view the panel.
The only thing that differentiates this document from the other ones I've had issues with that I got my work-around to fix is that the cross-references point to other documents (where the other ones I've managed to fix have cross-references within the same document).
For the sake of my sanity I may just convert the (2) cross-references to text if they are in fact the issue.

How do I join two letters using the shape builder tool?

I am making a sign for my logo. The 'i' in my script face is long and overlaps the following letter which the sign maker's router will not read. So I would like to be able to use the shape builder tool to join the 3 instances where the letter 'i' appears each to the following letter. No luck so far. I have turned the type into points. I have highlighted the first instance, 'i' and 'c'. but the shape builder tool shows a circle with a line through it... not working.
Anyone have an idea?

It may take a combination of some of the Pathfinder tools, such as: Intersect, Merge, and Unite. And, it may be a matter of manually going in and deleting some anchor points in the outlines. Do some experimenting on copies of the instances. Might be a process of elimination.

Using New LabVIEW Merge Tool LVMerge With Tortoise SVN

Hi,
I've just posted a new blog article Using New LabVIEW Merge Tool LVMerge With Tortoise SVN to my blog at ExpressionFlow. Check it out!

How do I use the cookie cutter tool?

I have a lot of questions to ask on how to use this program. I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 8, and I can't seem to get the tools to work. I click things on and nothing happens or I get a buzz indicating that whatever it is I want to do, I can't. I went to the cookie cutter tool and clicked that on. I figured out how to pick a shape, but then what? No matter what I clicked, nothing happened. How do I get it to work? I have a book called 'Teach Yourself Visually Adobe Photoshop Elements 8' and the pages are very clear, but whatever options are given in the book, I can't find in my program. I am sure part of the problem is that i have this program on a Mac. Maybe the Mac version doesn't work like the PC version. I can't seem to find any directions for this. I clicked on help and it brought me to a web page for Mac Photoshop Elements 8, and I did a search for 'cookie cutter' and nothing came up. I also looked at all the options available for help and didn't see any 'cookie cutter' tool instructions. How can I learn how to use this software? Thanks for any help.

I don't remember what the directions were yesterday, when I was experimenting with Photoshop, but I believe that the directions told me to use the custom shape tool, but I couldn't find it. It said to click on the rectangle, and a menu would come up, but no menu came up. So I thought I would just experiment and click on 'cookie cutter' and see what would happen when I clicked on it. I tried using some keyboard shortcuts to see what would happen (just trying to figure out how to get something to work) and at the web site for Photoshop for Mac, it said to click 'Q' (I can remember what was supposed to happen), but I clicked 'Command' and 'Q' at the same time and it closed the program! The web site didn't say which other key to use with the Q, and nothing happened when I just clicked the Q. Another thing I was trying to do was to make something in Photoshop (this was on another web site) and I had to go to 'window' then the next step was to go to 'channel' and click it on. I went to window and there was no 'channel' in the drop down menu. There were other options, but no 'channel'.

I scanned an image and want to use the image trace tool, but it doesn't pick up all the lines. Is there a way to darken the lines before using the image trace tool?

I scanned an image and want to use the image trace tool, but it doesn't pick up all the lines. Is there a way to darken the lines before using the image trace tool? Help!

If the scan is in B&W, then play with the Threshold setting here
If it's in Color, then you will have to open the scan in a Raster editing software (like Photoshop) and play with the Brightness/Contrast settings to make the lines bolder.

Create a Purchase order using the BAPI using the data in the XML file.

Hello Gurus,
here is the scenario can anyone help me how to proceed explaining the procedure?
Create a Purchase order using the BAPI using the data in the XML file.
comprehensive explanations are appreciated.
thanks in advance.

hi,
first use fm "bapi_po_create".
then use fm "BAPI_ACC_GL_POSTING_POST"
The demo environment was made with real business scenario in mind, but following subjects need to be addressed in a live implementation:
     No exceptions and error handling is implemented, except the order rejection (e.g. partly delivery);
     In Navision both XML Ports and the XML DOM has been used to integrate with SAP XI, because XML ports has some drawbacks regarding to Namespaces in XML Documents (mandatory in SAP XI);
     A minimum of SAP and Navision customization is required to implement this solution. (e.g. user exit in SAP, Navision XML DOM).

Error while importing the tables from MySQL using the data source connection

Hi,
I am trying to import tables from MySQL into Powerpivot using the data source connection, if use the import using the Query option its working fine but not with the select list of table option.
when i click on the select list of tables option, i get the below error after selecting all the tables to be imported:
OLE DB or ODBC error.
An error occurred while processing table 'XXXXXXXXXX'.
The current operation was cancelled because another operation in the transaction failed.

Hi Bharat17an,
Please provide the detail information when create the MySQL connection in your PowerPivot model. Here is a good article regarding "how to Use MySQL and Microsoft PowerPivot Together" for your reference, please see:

If this issue still persists, please help to collection windows event log information. It maybe helpful for us to troubleshoot this issue.

My old computer (a Sony) with my iTunes crashed. I have a new MAC and want to make sure I can keep all of my music (mostly from old CD's that have been lost). I bought iTunes match hoping that would work but it isn't using the data on my phone. HELP!

Since you have purchased a new Mac (which, BTW, is not typed in all capitals) why not buy a Time Capsule <http://www.apple.com/airport-time-capsule/> which is designed specifically to work with OS X and Time Machine?
You don't say what part of your Sony "crashed." If it was not the HDD it is possible to take the computer apart, put the HDD in an external case, then recover the data off of it (including the music) simply drag-n-drop. If it was the HDD that "crashed" that makes it more difficult.
If you are able to recover the music from the Sony you can then add it to the iTunes library on the Mac and iTunes Match will then scan, match and upload the tracks to be mirrored in the cloud.

Can I automate the creation of a cluster in LabView using the data structure created in an autogenerated .CSV, C header, or XML file?

Can I automate the creation of a cluster in LabView using the data structure created in an auto generated .CSV, C header, or XML file? I'm trying to take the data structure defined in one or more of those files listed and have LabView automatically create a cluster with identical structure and data types. (Ideally, I would like to do this with a C header file only.) Basically, I'm trying to avoid having to create the cluster by hand, as the number of cluster elements could be very large. I've looked into EasyXML and contacted the rep for the add-on. Unfortunately, this capability has not been created yet. Has anyone done something like this before? Thanks in advance for the help.

Is this something you're trying to do at runtime? Clusters are fixed data structures so you can't change them programmatically. Or, are you just trying to create some typedef cluster controls so that you can use them for coding? What would your clusters basically look like? Perhaps another way of holding the information like an array of variants?
You can try LabVIEW scripting, though be aware that this is not supported by NI.
Wow! Thanks for the quick response! We would use this cluster as a fixed data structure. No need to change the structure during runtime. The cluster would be a cluster of clusters with multiple levels. There would be not pattern as to how deep these levels would go, or how many elements would be in each. Here is the application. I would like to be able to autocode a Simulink model file into a DLL. The model DLL would accept a Simulink bus object of a certain data structure (bus of buses), pick out which elements of the bus is needed for the model calculation, and then pass the bus object. I then will take the DLL file and use the DLL VI block to pass a cluster into the DLL block (with identical structure as the bus in Simulink). To save time, I would like to auto generate the C header file using Simulink to define the bus structure and then have LabView read that header file and create the cluster automatically. Right now I can do everything but the auto creation of the cluster. I can manually build the cluster to match the Simulink model bus structure and it runs fine. But this is only for an example model with a small structure. Need to make the cluster creation automated so it can handle large structures with minimal brute force. Thanks!
