XMII - Minitab Conversion

Hi,
i want to convert data from xmii to minitab. I am running server from other system.I am using BLS. In writeFile action, i am giving file path in run time. if i give path as D:\<file name>.mtw means, it stores file in xmii server system's D drive. how can i store it in my system?
-senthil

It is actually quite easy to do. Simply create a String output parameter in your BLS transaction, and call the transaction via a URL using the Runner servlet. Be sure to put a "virtual file name" on the end of your URL of the form &Dummy.mtw or whatever. If Minitab is installed on the client PC, it will automatically open the results from that URL. It also wouldn't hurt to add &Content-Type=application/minitab to the URL.
The power of BLS that a lot of people don't realize is that it can stream back virtually any format, without the need to save it to disk.

XML - xMII XML conversion

Hi,
Is there any way to convert normal xml file to xMII XML format. i converted known xml file to xMII format by placing 2 repeaters. one for rowset and other for row. and adding IllumRow with dataitems.
but if i dont know what is the dataitems in xml file, how can do this? How to configure IllumDocument in this problem? How to convert any unknown xml file to xMII format?
thanks in advance.
- senthil

Hi Senthil,
This can be done using IllumDocument Actions.
Call 3 Repeaters. Each for IllumColumn Action, IllumRow Action and IllumData item Action respectively. The 3rd repeater shud come under the 2nd repeater. ie., inside the repeater for IllumRow Action call one more repeater for IllumData Item.
Hope its clear.

Conversion of Minitab to xMII XML format

Hi,
how to convert minitab file into xml format. i tried possibilities but facing problems. i tried for two psiibilities.
1) i imported minitab file(.mtw) into BLS text loader. then i added flat file parser then StringList to XML parser. but it doesnt show correct xml output. it shows each row as single item.
2) I saved minitab file as text file by applying comma seperator. then i opened that file in BLS. this file having column names but in BLS it consider each item as single row. for example if i have 2x2 rows / columns means, BLS consider it as 4 rows and take column name also as row.
how to solve it? how to convert minitab file as it is(with .mtw) extension to xMII XML format.

Minitab to XML conversion

Hi,
i have table in Minitab as
S0190 S0192 S0195
47 44 47
where S0190,S0192,S0195 are column names. i tried to convert this into XML format in BLS. I loaded this mtw file in text loader and connected to Flat file parser as text loader string content to Flat file parser input. i got output for this as
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>

i tried many ways to convert this into xMII XML format, but didnt get XML format. how to convert this format into XML format? can i use repeater, for next? In this it take column names (S0190..) as rows. how to set as column in XML format?
thanks in advance
-senthil

hi
You may use the "Column" action (under xMII XML Output in BLS) and "Row" action to set the column names and map the values in the rows respectively in the XML file. Of course you have to use 'Repeater' action to loop the input table contents to be shown in the XML output.

Integrating Minitab with xMII

Hi ,
I like to integrate Minitab with xMII 11.5 (earlier version ) ,i know in SR2 and later we have minitab integrated by default. But my query is whether we able to integrate minitab in xMII 11.5(earlier version). If yes,how can be done?
Thanks,
Bala

To convert a minitab file into xml you should be able to use a text loader to obtain the file and the a FlatFileParser in conjunction with a StringListToXML. The StringListToXml_0.Delimiter needs to be set to tab.
To convert xml to minitab format you a repeater on the datasource with a write file in the repeater. You'll also need to use the tab and crlf functions to build it correctly.
But the real solution should be to upgrading to SR3.

Jamie

Minitab - xMII

Hi,
how to integrate minitab with xmii and where to download minitab export jar file?
-senthil

Senthil,
The minitab feature comes preinstalled with version 11.5 SR02 and above. This feature will format any data into minitab format for you to read. There is no need for a minitab jar file just install SR02 or greater.
Refer to this post on how to use the Minitab action blocks Minitab Export Action Block

Cookie Support in xMII portal

Hi,
i created one web page. in this i set ChartClickEvent and i get querytemplate of that chart. then i click button to send result of querytemplate to Minitab. i set alert messages to display value of query template and SQL query that is going to send for conversion. i got these values via cookie in javascript. this page is working fine when i call this via browser i.e directly i typed as
http://<server name>/Illuminator/PortalLogin.jsp?target=/minitab.htm&IllumLoginName=<user name>&IllumLoginPassword=<pass word>&session=true
but in xMII paotal i add one link to this page via navigation. when i click button to export, it display null messages in alert and it wont convert anything. but the same page working fine outside xMII portal. what is the problem? Is it problem in cookie? because it display values when i call this from browser but displaying null when i call from xMII protal. how to solve this? please help me.
-senthil

Are you setting the values in your cookie when you access the page from the portal? I havent used them in a long time, but I'm pretty sure cookies are Domain specific. So if you set in while in one Domain, its not avilable via another. Maybe acessing the page thru the portal puts it in a different Domain?

Displaying PDF files created with BLS in xMII 12

Hi all,
we are creating dynamic PDF Reports and store them in an xMII Web folder like "/Project/WEB/PDFFiles/".
The problem is that I cannot display the PDF File after creation to the user, because when I use the URL it says an error like "file cannot be found". Only after I open the Workbench and "publish" the file, the URL works and the PDF is opened.
Can I execute the "publish" command from the web page via JavaScript? Or from the BLS after it has created the PDF?
Regards
Michael

Hi, Michael.
The rendered PDF document is stored in a "string" parameter. Create a transaction output parameter of type string, and name it "PDFContent". Now, to stream the data back, create a hyperlink of the format:
http://<yourserver:yourport>/<this depends on your version>/Runner?Transaction=YourFolder/YourTransaction&OutputParameter=PDFContent&OutputContentType=application/pdf
When the user clicks on this link, the PDF will be generated and sent to the browser and should automatically open the Adobe PDF Reader. Note that this technique can be used with all kinds of different content (I've done the same for BLS-created HTML, SVG, PDF, CSV, and even Minitab statistical files).
In some cases, you may need to "trick" IE into forcing an open of the PDF viewer, in which case you might want to tweak the URL as follows:
http://<yourserver:yourport>/<this depends on your version>/Runner?Transaction=YourFolder/YourTransaction&OutputParameter=PDFContent&OutputContentType=application/pdf&PDFContent.pdf
Sometimes IE uses the ".pdf" at the end, sometimes it uses the content type/mime type. Seems inconsistent.
Best regards,
Rick

Using [SD]/[ED] parameters in queries. xMII 12.1.1

Hi All,
I've been investigating usage of "[SD]" and "[ED]" parameters in Query Templates and now have some statements either for confirmation or for disproof.
- Values only in XML-datetime format should be assigned to StartDate & EndDate parameters in xMII transactions?
If SD & ED are unparsable I noticed that xMII assigns the following values: EndDate = datenow, StartDate = datenow - 1hour.
- if EndDate is not in XML-datetime format it is built as StartDate + 1 hour?
- EndDate which is earlier than StartDate is ignored and StartDate value is assigned to EndDate?
- InternalDateFormat setting defines how the dates (SD/ED) are sent to the database server (in a SQL query) and to avoid localization problems (e.g. mm/dd/yyyy vs. dd/mm/yyyy) it should be used in conjunction with corresponding DatePrefix and DateSuffix.
Thanks for your comments,
Dmitry

- Values only in XML-datetime format should be assigned to StartDate & EndDate parameters in xMII transactions?
If SD & ED are unparsable I noticed that xMII assigns the following values: EndDate = datenow, StartDate = datenow - 1hour.
By using the DateTime format for the transaction inputs it keeps your variable types consistent and all of the use cases within your transaction thereby have a known starting point for conversions. In addition if you use an XacuteQuery template to call the TRX the Mapped Start/End Date properties will allow you to use the MII query time engine just like you would with [SD] and [ED] in a sql query and when using an applet it will allow the full time control bar to be used. You'll also notice numerous action blocks, like the Document and Query actions have properties for direct linking these properties. In the case of the query actions all of formatting is handled by the action block and you can link from Transaction.SD to SQLAction.QueryStartDate and it will automatically convert from the XML date format to the query template's DateFormat and assign to the StartDate parameter. (so in other words you have less work and hard coded string formatting to mess with - way more dynamic).
- If EndDate is not in XML-datetime format it is built as StartDate + 1 hour?
This depends a bit on where / how you are using the dates within the query or TRX
- EndDate which is earlier than StartDate is ignored and StartDate value is assigned to EndDate?
There is no time machine for going backwards and the Start must always come before the end, so when time is not chronological it will lock the dates to each other.
- InternalDateFormat setting defines how the dates (SD/ED) are sent to the database server (in a SQL query) and to avoid localization problems (e.g. mm/dd/yyyy vs. dd/mm/yyyy) it should be used in conjunction with corresponding DatePrefix and DateSuffix.
If your query is SELECT * FROM Table WHERE DateColumn BETWEEN [SD] and [ED] the query going through the DB driver will take the relevant date string format it with DatePrefix + Token converted into InternalDateFormat + DateSuffix (where the settings come from the Data Server settings). SQL Server is simpler with single quotes and more forgiving for the date format, whereas with Oracle you have to deal with the format and the TO_CHAR prefixing, so this allows simpler queries to be built, and by using the date tokens in conjunction with the MII query time engine allow all of the formatting and conversions to be handled by the data server itself.

Conversion of Characteristic Values to SIDs is taking long time

Hi Experts,
Cube load is taking more than 7 hrs to complete for 6 million records. Max time is at Conversion of Characteristic Values to SIDs. Cube consists of 500 fields. Load is from DSO to Cube. DSO has 10 fileds with no SID flag check for activation. Remaining fields in the CUBE are pouplated looking in to other DSO's. Start and End routines are executing very fast. How to fasten Conversion of Characteristic Values to SIDs step. I need to load 15 million records daily as part of delta. any suggestions.

11i to r12 Conversion - help needed

Hi
My client is doing re-implementation of r12 and migrating from 11i to r12. I need help particularly on conversions side. The client is a SaaS company. they are considering to bring open and history transactions and applied/unapplied receipts to r12 AR.
- how to migrate revenue scheduled open/closed invoices from 11i to r12 since rev schedules for a SaaS company is expected to be long terms. and how to make sure that rev schedules are correct upon migration to r12??
- for partially paid invoices how to make sure that the same partially paid amount reflects in r12 upon conversion? can a negative line amount equalling to paid amount be a possible solution??
- upon migration do the closed invoices have to be converted as open and receipts re-applied after migration in r12 or they can be brought in as-is with status closed?
- if customer paid for an invoice using a credit card in 11i and upon migration it came to notice that the credit card is no longer used by the customer so how to re-apply the same receipt in r12 which was applied in 11i using that credit card. do we have to enable it in r12 just for closing the invoice? what could be possibilities?
please anyone if can answer would be very helpful
Thanks

It depends on the dpi. Usually 72dpi = 72 pixels per inch.
1000/72 = 13,88888 inch
1 inch = 25,4 mm
13,88888 * 25,4 = 352,7777 mm

Just reporting this bug... Could not find anyother place to do it.

I thought it was doing that also. But I found that if I start a new chat with someone I was messaging before, then the old messages re-appear in the messages window.

Is there a way to selectively edit a conversation in iMessages instead of clearing the entire conversation? Like you can do on the iPhone for instance.

I need to delete myself from a Group Conversation.

My idiot friends added me to a group conversation and i cannot leave it. Each time i ask them to start a new conversation and not include me they refuse. My phone has been ringing non stop for 3 days now and i need to find a way to get out of this conversation so that i can go to class, do my homework and sleep at night!!! I can turn my phone onto Airplane mode but when it is in this mode I cant receive the important phone calls and text messages that i need to answer.
Somebody please help me.
If there is no way to leave this conversation somebody please tell me where i can find a virus that will shut down their phones.

In Thunderbird while trying to move conversation results to an archive folder; if some of the results are already in the folder it will not move any.

Hi. I often use the conversation search option when archiving my emails from inbox. I find this a very useful method of finding trails where I and multiple people have responded to each other. However If I have already moved one or more of these emails into the archive folder and select all to move, Thunderbird will not move any. I then need to individually select those that need to be moved.
Although not a major issue I use this regularly and often come across the problem. a recent fix which allows location tab to remain on in search helps but does not resolve this issue. A slightly annoying problem and I was wondering if any one else has this issue. Also is anyone looking into a solution?

FCPx answer: At least the answer that worked for me...
I had the same problem, as I believe many others had.
In my case the problem was with one of OSX Mavericks' new features: APP NAP.
It looks like this is ON by DEFAULT for ALL Applications and that FCPx, or Compressor for that matter, will not work if this is enabled on them.
I just disabled App Napp on FCPx and now it works, again, like a charm.
This is how you disable App Nap: http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-57612009-263/how-to-disable-app-nap-in-os-x -mavericks/
