What is the autocreated file "profiles.bin"?

I just discovered a file in my home folder named "profiles.bin", with a creation date of 1/14/08. I checked my daughter's computer, and she has the same file with the same creation date in her home folder. Anyone know what this is??

Check out this url.

What is the minimum file system access needed to run ODI 10.1.3.4.0 client?

Hi ODI discussion folks,
I have a couple of questions from an Oracle partner that I'm trying to find a definitive answer for if possible. The partner is setting up ODI 10.1.3.4.0 for a customer who insists that the absolute minimum amount of access to the file system is granted due to corporate security policies.
I have checked the bundled ODI documentation but couldn't really find anything about file system permissions needed to run the ODI client. I was pointed towards the "Setting Up Security for an Integration Project — What to Consider" document but this does not mention a great deal about how much access to the file system is needed for the ODI client to function.
What the partner is asking is the following:
"1. What are the minimum file/folder permissions needed for the ODI client installation? I'm installing at xxxxx
and their machines have to be locked down as much as possible.
2. Say you have 3 users all wanting to run integrations etc and the Master and Work
repositories have been set up. An admin installs the ODI client but doesn't
create the connection to the Master repository. What are the minimum
file/folder permissions required on the client machine to:
a) create the connection to the repository
b) run any subsequent integrations?"
If anyone can advise on this then that would be much appreciated.
Regards

Hi Craig,
How are you?
Let me try to contribute a little....
1) The minimum requirement is for its own installation directory, there is no reason to have access to other directories unless if it is necessary to read files from some other directory at the client
2) Again only to its own install directory. The connection setting is recorded at \bin install directory. After that, all information are recorded at repository, there is no client work.
Be free to contact me by email or phone if you have any new doubt. You can get my email from my profile.
Does it respond your doubts?

What does the open file dialog do 'under the hood' and is there a way to simulate it

What does the open file dialog do 'under the hood' and is there a way to simulate it?
I have a bug in my code (that I've posted about before, here) which I can't fix at the moment, but I do have a workaround.
Briefly, the bug:
I call a dll from a function node, to initialise and run a spectrometer. If I start up the PC, LabVIEW and run my vi the code runs without complaint, the first call to the dll to initialise the spectrometer doesn;t return an error but the spectrometer is not detected either.
I've tried various solutions, see the link above, and none work
The workaround:
If, at any time before running the code containing the function node I open an 'open file' dialog window, select the dll and click ok/hit enter then everything is fine. When I run the main code the spectrometer is detected.
I use an express vi to open the file dialog, I specify the start path and file name as constant inputs and just click ok/hit return when the dialog pops up. I don't do anything with the dialog outputs. In fact the vi that contains the open file dialog can be run before the project containing the bug is even open.
I have to do this everytime I turn the PC on.
So, either
1) Can somewone suggest a fix for the original bug?
2) What is the easiest way to simulate the enter keypress when the open file dialog pops up
or
3) Can someone tell me what the open file dialog does under the hood that somehow causes the dll to work and can it be simulated in straight LabVIEW
I suspect that the dll itself is dodgy ( I have in the past talked to the supplier but not got very far, and I will try again but I would like a quick, temporary solution too). I'm guessing that the file dialog is making some kind of check on the file, and possibly registering its presence with the OS (winXP). I tried using the file/folder exists vi to see if checking the file like that worked but no luck.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Dave

Hi David
I am very conscious about thread hijacking but this sounded like my issue so I hope you dont mind me asking about your issue. I am hoping that you have a spectrometer from the same vendor as me and its not just me seeing an Error 1097 issue. My spectrometer is from a company called Stellarnet.
So far I have unable to get it to work with other VIs. There is one condition where I can get it to work but its no good for me.
Case 1
I open the VI in a fresh labview environment with no other VIs in memory. The code runs with no issue.
Case 2
Labview is not opened. I double click the spectrometer VI in windows explorer. The VI opens but it fails to run resulting in Error 1097. Personally, I dont see the difference between this and Case 1 above and yet it fails.
Case 3
If I already have other VI's in memory and try to load the spectrometer VI and run it fails with Error 1097. This case is the one that most important to me. I have a test executive that will load test VIs dynamically and I can't get this to work. Same problem Error 1097.
I wanted to share what I have seen with you and to let you know that maybe somebody else has the same issue. I am convinced its the DLL but the vendor dis-agreed saying it was LabVIEW. I couldn't convince him otherwise.
Thanks in advance
David

What is the max file size that a Adapter Engine [J2SE] can handle ?

We are having a scenario where a 4 GB compressed file needs to be sent across without mapping, I'm trying to explore the possible options to tackle this scenario.
Some of the options, we are considering :
- Sending a file from one Adapter Engine [J2SE] to another Adapter Engine [J2SE] bypassing PI. Adapter Logs will be monitored. What is the maximum file size that can be then handled assuming a standard installation ?
- What is the max file size that Adapter Engine [J2SE] can send through PI without mapping?
Any help with the above options or with any other possible solutions to handle extremely large file transfers will be much appreciated.

Hi,
j2se is not a good option here
if you have 4gb then you need a copy solution
a) build an proxy that will just copy the file from sender dest to receiver
b) build an adapter that will do the same as proxy)
this way processing of this message will be controlled with SAP PI/XI
it will be as quick as copy & paste of the 4gb file
I did the a) for one of the flow for 300 mb and it works perfectly

What is the best format to import images into iBA? How should I compress my images before importing? What is the best file format? PNG? Jpeg?

What is the best format to import images into iBA? How should I compress my images before importing? What is the best file format? PNG? Jpeg? I'm trying to figure out the best file format / compression for importing images into iBA. Also, does anyone know how iBA will compress the file? Are the assets attached (like a website) or flattened out? Does anyone know how iBA handles this? Many many thanks to anyone with insight into this.

This question is largely answered by the following thread...

What is the exact file name for Adobe Photoshop Elements application?

what is the exact file name for Adobe Photoshop Elements application?
I jsut downn laoded it and the alias does not work. in the support folder I have an application titled Adobe photoshop Elements Editor and it lauches ok but when I got to import a photo it only asks for a frame from a video.

You do not import anything to the editor. You just open things there using File>Open. Import is only for frame from video and for scanning if your scanner is compatible and you install the PSE twain plug-in.
If you wish to use PSE to keep track of your photos, launch Adobe Elements 11 Organizer instead of the editor.

What is the best file format for photos?

Greetings.
I am going to be importing some photos into FCE 3.5.1 to do some effects and motion. What is the prefered file format form Photoshop for FCE? TIFF, JPEG, and PS format all import, but I'm just wondering if one is prefered over the other.
My images will be pretty big, 3000 pxels x xxx at 72dpi, so I can move in and out, and maybe pan.
Thanks.
Jonathan

PNG, PSD. Don't make the image larger than you need to.

What is the best file format to use with imovie?

I am relatively new to Mac and got it for music production, but more recently I have been messing around with video and a I have difficulty dealing with Mpeg and some other file types with imovie. My question is this, what file format will automatically import into imovie the way that iphoto imports from my camera? and if they aren’t recognised, what is the best file converter??

'best' is, what iMovie is intended for - straight from tape-based or AVCHD camcorder.
'best' in terms of most versatile and offering the 'best' format (=iM's own AppleIntermediateCodec) is free Mpeg Streamclip
only for convertiing mp2, such as non-copyprotected videoDVDs, you need the 20$ mp2-playback-component ......

What is the maximum file size Flash Catalyst beta 2 can import?

I have designed the webpage in Illustrator cs2 and tried to import to Flash Catalyst beta 2 (FC), however it does not respond to me at all. I think maybe my AI file size is too big. Therefore I reduced my AI file down to 1 page only and now FC has no problem importing my file. I would like to know what is the maximum file size that FC beta 2 can import? thanks

In beta1 I believe the max size was 15megs, I am not 100% for Beta2 but I doubt they would have changed the amount.
I created an online menu for a fake restraunt for fun, the file was quite large with the high-res photos in it. How I got the whole file into Catalyst from Photoshop is I removed the large background images and then imported them individually into the Catalyst project.
Hope that helped

What is the best file converter for Panasonic HC-X900M camcorder for use on Final Cut Pro X?

What is the best file converter for Panasonic HC-X900M Camcorder Mts files for use with Final Cut Pro?

This camcorder records in several ways, including AVCHD2, mpeg4 iframe, and 3d, at least that seems to be the case from a quick reading of its specs.
If you get the latest update for fcpx, it will handle video shot in 60P. That is 10.0.4
Here is what Apple says it supports, and one version of the 900 seems to be supported.
I think the Apple site is a little behind its own software update, as one advantage of the new update is that it handles 60P.
Maybe I am missing something, but I wonder what would happen if you get the latest update for fcpx, and try your card again. I did find that fcpx now supports my sony dslr at 60P.
Here is a thread with one person saying they can now use their 900.

What is the best file format to start with?

I have not quite figured out what is the best way and best tool (Photo
shop, Fireworks, Illustrator?) to optimize images to put on a web page?
I know that there is a "save for web" feature that is very useful.
But what I want to know is what is the best file to start with, to resize larger or smaller, and save for web,
and still get a clean and crisp looking Jpeg, png, or whatever?
I have a client who sends me EPS images to use for their logos. It is too big and I have to resize it.
Is this a good format to start with and to resize, or should I tell the client to send it to me in a different format?
They also send me huge raw photoshop files (with layers and all) that I have to put in a much smaller
placeholder..Again, is this a good file format to start with and resize and save for web?
and if so, which tool is best to use in this case to its reduce size this file and get optimal quality - Ps, Fw, or Ai??
or should I tell the client to send it to me in a different format?
what is the best format to start with, so I can tell clients to send me their images in that format?
if anyone can point me to some links or other place where I can find this information that will be great?
thanks!!!

Photoshop and Fireworks can both create files (raster images) suitable for placing images on the web. Some people prefer one to the other. If your not doing editing then Fireworks is probably the tool geared most towards that goal. If you want to create vector graphics for use on the web, neither Photoshop nor Fireworks are suitable. Illustrator is the tool to use.

You can try these setting. They are from CS5.5 but should work in CS4.
Make sure you check Use Max. Render Quality.
