What is the maximum size the of files we can use for reading and writing

Hi
i have attached a vi which i use to read and write reports.
My system would run continuosly for more than 2 days, typically i expect a file size of 30MB per day. I keep on appending the data in the file.
The VI everytime opens the file appends it and closes.
Does this affect the performance as the file size increases?
What is the effective way to do it?
Is there any file size restriction in windows?

First: The performance by increasing file size depends from the file system (FAT32 or NTFS) you are using. NTFS will be better if the file size increases. Also the size of the partition will have an effect on this.
Second: The effective way will be not to close and reopen the file. Use "File I/O > Advanced File Functions > Flush File" to write the file to the system instead of File Close and File Open. Flush File will force the file system driver to write the file to disk and update the file information on disk. On NT based systems this will be done with a latency time of 4 seconds. This is even true if you close the file and the time cannot be changed.
Third: There are file restriction to the lenght which do not depend on Windows, they depend on
the file system. FAT32 can handle files until 4 GByte (2^32) and NTFS can handle 2^64 Bytes. Since LV is platform independent the LV file functions can handle only 4 GByte. The offset parameter in the file functions has a I32 data type.

What is the maximum size a sender SOAP adapter can handle?

Hi,
I am using sender SOAP adapter and receiver RFC adapter.
What is the maximum size of request message it can handle efficiently.
In the current scenario which I need to design , the request XML file could be up to 24 MB.
Also if you could comment on which would be the best to use as the sender side - SOAP or File Adapter
when the request message/file is of such size?
regards

hi,
>What is the maximum size of request message it can handle efficiently.
it totally depends on your hardware and flow design inside XI/PI
>In the current scenario which I need to design , the request XML file could be up to 24 MB.
this size is not a lot for a "normal" XI machine but it also depends on the
volume of those messages - that is if you need to send
one message like that per day or 1000 per half an hour...
>Also if you could comment on which would be the best to use as the sender side - SOAP or File Adapter

SAP's general recommendation is to use messages around 5mb
but it heavily depends on other factors so don't threat it as a must

What is the maximum size of a jpg that can be imported into iPhoto?

what is the maximum size of a jpg that can be imported into iPhoto

I've imported and worked on Photoshop and tiff files up at 220 MB (8400 x 6600 pixels) in size. It does take some time to do any edits, up to 7 seconds for some. 220 MB is a big file but iPhoto handles it OK.
I do have a top of the line iMac with SSD drive so it's pretty fast. Other Macs may be slower depending on their configuration.

I updated Itunes today to the latest version. Windows 7 64bit. None of my drivers work and get an error when itunes starts, about registry setting for reading and writing dvds and cds missing. Anyone else have the same issue. I downloaded itunes again, reinstalled still have same issue.

I'd start with the following document, with one modification. At step 12 after typing GEARAspiWDM press the Enter/Return key once prior to clicking OK. (Pressing Return adds a carriage return in the field and is important.)

Quickest method for reading and writing files

Hi
I need help regarding file operations.(Reading and Writing). Currently I am using BufferedReader and BufferedWriter to read and write files. But the files (XML) are very huge files(from 30 -50 mb). This is slowing the application to a great extent. Is there any other approach to perform the above mentioned operations on XML files in a fast manner.
Thank You

What is the maximum size of indexed array that can be created during execution of while loop?

Hello,
I am using a ring acquisition to take in images. If i write them as files in the loop, it slows down the acquisition unacceptably. Therefore i am converting image to array and storing the array until the acquisition is complete and then reading the array and converting back to image to save. The program sometimes runs out of memory (after a couple of minutes). Can anyone think of a way where i can store the array/images within the execution (without losing image information), without slowing it down and to avoid this memory problem?
I have included the VI.
Thanks in advance for any help or advice.
kindest regards,
FraserD

When you build the array of pictures you do it using auto-indexing out of a while loop. That means that memory is aquired for a copy of the previous picture array and the array is rebuilt on every iteration, this is slow and requires a lot of extra memory.
If you want to speed things up try initializing a shift register with a 3D array of a size that will be able to hold a certain number of pictures, then replace the "pages" as new pictures are aquired, replace operations do not require copying of the previous array and will thus be much much faster. The difference is exeptional when dealing with large arrays/amounts of data.
Now, the shift register buffer could be built into a functional global, and you can add a push/pop logic to it so that you can have a p
arrallell loop that works on writing the elements to disk. You could use a que for this, but I think even though you specify a size limit to the que it still aquires memory as new elements are added (correct me if I'm wrong people...:-)), so a functional global acting as a circular buffer og fixed size frame for a que should be better.

What is the best high res image file format to use for print

Dear All,
I'm working on a 300 + page catalog, and I was wondering what would be the best image format to use on the catalog. I thought png was the best since it supports background transparency and all, but for some reason I'm not able to export it once I change the image to CMYK ( since I need CMYK for print ). Should I save all in eps. instead? Please help would be appreciated.
thanks,
Jack

.psd is the best... supports everything you would want for print. PDF does also, but takes a little more knowledge to use properly.
.png is recommended when using Word etc.
EPS is obsolete.

The VI of I2C driver for reading and writing registers was functional in 6.1 but that same VI is not working for 7.0 & 7.1 version. WinIO is also used in generating the dll as OS is Windows2000. What could be the problem?

THIS IS THE CPP FOR READ. sIMILAR vi WAS MADE FOR WRITE

HI,
I'm not familiary wiht the WinIO functio that you are using here but there are a couple of thisngs to watch out for when doing low-level access.
The most common problem with low level IO functions is that if they were created for Win9x, they will not work under Win NT/2000/XP. NT based OSes require you to have kernel access to do any low level communication. Make sure that the WinIO library that you are using is aupported under Win2K.
Since you have the code for the dll available, you could attach LabVIEW as an external process in your C compiler and debug the dll; this can helps you track down the exact function that is failing.
Just my 2 cents.

What file does ipod use for library and how do i access it?

Hi.
I almost put this in the ipod discussion but the question has to do with itunes as well...
I have learned that itunes uses an xml file for the library, containing all song information and playlists (not sure about id3 tags for .wav, mp3) but when i looked at my data for the ipod i found no .xml files.
Heres what happened and why i need this:
unplugged the ipod after an osx reboot to winxp bootcamp hung. then i noticed the ipod was erased (or so i thought)
Couldn't access any of the data on the ipod and hadnt a spare 80 gigs to back up my ipod.
I didn't give up and after trying so many data recovery programs i got one to work and now i have what looks like all the songs back - with song titles and filenames - on my comp.
I want my library back too. I want my hard wrought playlists and i want to know what songs i may be missing; I need to rebuild my 'library'.
with the data i retrieved there is a folder called root, and if you follow and go to ipod control>Itunes there are a bunch of temp files and a large file called ipodcontrol and a couple files called playlist but those two were umm, empty. I dont know what any of this stuff is but if i knew how the ipod makes its library that would be a start in seeing if i can somehow get the library back. I know there is a way. I also am sure there are tons of people out there whose tracks have been erased after an auto update or unplug. You can get your music back! It would be so sweet to figure out how to reconstruct the library file too.

I forgot to mention that for you people who have inadvertently erased your ipods, the data recovery program that worked the best for me was called R-Studio.
So anyone know what file ipod uses for its internal library?

How can use VISA Read and the Wait Function properly

I am trying to read an instrument. The is a simple instrument because all it does is feed data; there aren't not any write commands whatsoever. I am trying to read the instrument in time intervals. It seems to work fine except for the one second interval. Every 5 seconds I don't get reading and there are zero bytes at the serial port. Any suggestions on what I should do?

There is a Visa serial VI called VISA Bytes at Serial port. Use a comparison node for =0 and wire this to a case structure. In the false case, read your data.

Best File Format to use for iTunes and MAC

I have always used the AAC Encoder set to 256 kbps to import my CDs to iTunes. In preparation for moving to a music server system in the future I want to re-import my CDs at the highest quality (uncompressed) format that I can.
Is my understanding correct that AIFF was developed for use with MAC and basically WAV for Windows? Would it be best for me to use AIFF? Should the settings be left at automatic or set to 16 bit, 44 khz and stereo?
I understand there is a way to take these uncompressed files and compress them later for transfer to my iPod. How is that done? If there are tutorials or other directions on this site or others please feel free to direct me to those. At this point I have not been able to find an answer to my specific questions.
Any other recommendations or suggestions is appreciated.
Thank You
Mike

Macs and iTunes will recognize and play both AIFF and WAV formats. If you want to play the files on Windows machines as well, I'd say use WAV encoding. In order to ensure the quality you want, change the setting from 'Automatic' to 16 Bit, 44.1khz stereo (this is industry standard).
When you want to compress the high quality WAVs, change the import settings to the desired format (mp3/aac etc). Then select the tracks you wish to compress and in the 'Advanced' menu, chose 'Convert selection to mp3/aac'. iTunes will then create duplicate tracks encoded to the desired format.
Hope this answers your question.

What's the maximum size of a pdf you can upload to the adobe cloud service?

I'm trying to upload a book of 545 MB of size, with no success at all. Any information about restrictions? Thanks for the reply.

Hi emoussi,
I am so sorry for the inconvenience caused & will help you to get this issue resolved.
Please let me know the file format of the e-book that you are trying to upload & also let me know if there is any attachment with that or any java script implemented on that e-book?
Also, check your Internet upload speed at Speedtest.net by Ookla - The Global Broadband Speed Test as 545 MB is a big size to upload & it might take long time to upload depending on your Internet upload speed.

Maximum size of a file that the getResourceAsStream() can read?

hi guys.before i post this new topic, i have search through the forum,and google. on the web .so reply are appreciated.
1) getResourceAsStream() method, is there a way to know the maximum size of a file that the getResourceAsStream() can read?
InputStream is = getClass().getResourceAsStream("Dream2.gif");
byte[] byte0 = new byte[10 * 1024];
bcos the size of my bytearray is hardcoded, if any thing is greater than that size ,my program would crash.so i would like to know if there is a way to do that
2)if that is not available, are there any methods in j2me using any connection (http or socket),that can know the maximum size of the file that are available??????

You won't be able to tell how big the resource is using this approach. However, since your resource is in the JAR you will be able to know the size of it before hand.
Otherwise, use the read(byte[], int, int) method to read the resource in chunks like this:
int count = 0;
byte[] bytes = new byte[1024];
while ((count = read(bytes, count, 1024)) != -1) {
// do something like write to a ByteArrayOutputStream
}Although redundant, using this approach you can see that you can keep a count of the number of bytes you've read and thus know the total size of the resource.

Limit the maximum size of attachment in ME22N

Dear All SAP Experts,
How do I limit the maximum size of attachment in ME22N (System > Services for object > Create attachment)?
(for example, attachment size cannot be above 10 MB).
Is it configureable in SPRO or do I have to make user exits for this? Any suggestions will be appreciated, and any solutions will be rewarded by points.
Thank You

I don't think there is a standard solution for your requirement.
Maybe you can invoke your own checks in badi GOS_SRV_REQUEST.
