XMII UDS Alias file

Hello,
I am currently trying to setup a UDS using the import function, but so far haven't found any hint on the structure of the alias file. Maybe someone can help?
Kind Regards,
Christoph Mertins

If these are the 4.0 UDSs look in the help file:
SAP xMII UDS > Alias Configuration > Importing CSV Data
Importing CSV Data
You can import comma-separated values (CSV) files via the Alias window. The format of the CSV file must be the following: Name,Source,Description,Min,Max,Data Type,Group Path.
The first six parameters match the parameters in the item pane. The Group Path is the location of the group in which the item will exist when it is imported.
Do not include a header row; the first row of data will be imported.
Parameters that are not required (Description, Min, Max, and Group Path) can be ignored, but a comma must still exist for the parameter.
If the Group Path parameter is not included, the item will be added to the Root group.
Separate groups in the Group Path with backslashes (/).
Any group specified in the Group Path that does not exist will be created.
Do not include spaces between a parameter and a comma; spaces are interpreted as characters and imported.
Do not include spaces between group names and the backslash (/) used to separate them.
Data types that are not recognized by the system (Double, Integer, TimeStamp, and VarChar) are imported as the type "Other." Data types of "Other" are not loaded during runtime operation.
If an item exists prior to the import, it is overwritten by the item in the CSV file.
Min and Max parameters are not validated; therefore, it is possible to have a Min value that is greater than the Max value.
Example
The following example shows a small CSV file. Groups 1, 2, and 3 are created when the file is imported into a new alias configuration.
Test 1,Test1.Source,Test 1 Description,0,100,Double,
Test 2,Test2.Source,Test 2 Description,23,56,Double,Group1
Test 3,Test3.Source,Test 3 Description,,,Integer,Group1/Group2
Test 4,Test4.Source,Test 4 Description,a,b,double,Group1/Group2/Group3
Test 5,Test5.Source,Test 5 Description,1,1,VarChar,

  • How do I restore time machine alias files cloned from broken hard drive

    My external hard drive broke (a tiny transistor broke off after the drive fell two feet to the floor) so I purchased a new one and had the Geek Squad clone what was on my old hard drive onto my new one. I was using Time Machine to backup my files. My external hard drive had a much larger capacity than my macbook pro, so I deleted a number of the files saved on my Macbook Pro, knowing that I could access my files whenever I plugged my ext. hard drive in.
    After plugging my new external hard drive into my computer, however, I am finding only alias files and I do not know how to restore my data so I can access all of the files again.
    Does anyone know how to restore my time machine data from the cloned data I had transferred from my broken external hard drive to my new external hard drive?
    Thanks!

    An update - I finally took both of my HDs in to an Apple store and they confirmed my fear: only alias files had been transferred from my old drive, meaning Geek Squad charged me $100 for 850 MB of unusable files.
    That has been clear since early in this thread.
    Geek Squad has agreed to retry the process
    Why pay them to do what you don't need done??? Get a refund and buy an enclosure, which you should have anyway for backups.
    but I'm now wishing that I had received more sound advice when I brought the drives into them in the first place.
    Don't know who gave you that advice, but I sure wouldn't trust them with my data!
    The Apple rep. informed me that my HD works perfectly fine and that it just needs a new enclosure (which I can buy for $20 online, as opposed to paying $100 for a data transfer).
    Ummm, the action to take seems very clear to me . . . .

  • Not all files copied to burn folders are showing up as alias files.

    I am trying to perform a very trivial function of burning JPEGS on my DVD.  I've done it tons of times with minimal issues.
    However, recently, I have noticed a consistent issue in the burn folder:
    When I try to place JPEGS from a master/original folder to a burn folder on my desktop, I notice that most all files will correctly be "alias" files (as expected).  However, there are a few (one or two) that will show up as JPEG files.  That JPEG file size is smaller than the original, which leads me to believe that it is having trouble making it an alias file.  When I click on that JPEG file in the burn folder, I get the following error "the file 'xyz.jpg' could not be opened.  It may be damaged or use a file format that preview doesn't recognize."  However, when I open that file from the origina source, it opens fine.
    When I "get info" properties, I notice that in the general file information section, it does not show the original source location (as it does when looking at the alias "get info" properties.)
    So what I have to do at this point is delete the false JPEG file image in the burn folder, and individually replace that with the file from the original source.  At that point, it makes it an alias file.
    Although I found a work around to get files burned, I want to fix this so this does not happen when I am placing large amounts of files in burn folder.  As it is, I can no longer trust the burn folder and have to inspect it before I burn to make sure all files are alias files. 
    Anybody experience this and have a way to fix this in the system?
    Many of you probably are experiencing this, but if you are not checking your burn folder, it will just look like a corrupt file on your CD/DVD.
    Thanks for your help.

    Hi all, thanks for your suggestions thus far.  Here is some additional information and initial answers to your comments.
    I am still having the issue.  Currently, what I do is export full res files from my master RAWs using Aperture 3.  To do this, we create an export folder on desktop or any other specific storage location.  We then use the burn folders as a simple method to create an immediate backup DVD of the JPEGS.  As described above I am using the drag and drop technique currently to move images into the burn folder, as we have a few different labeled burn folders in our workflow. 
    I am not using iPhoto at all for this process, as all of my images are managed with Aperture 3.  However, since the files/exports coming out of A3 seem to be fine, I am not currently questioning the integrity of the export.
    I am going to try to use the burn folder technique from finder as BRB8910 suggests as an alternate method and report back on the outcome.
    But Here is a revised issue of the initial stated problem:
    I went back to my desktop to do some additional testing and tried a new condition...keeping the burn folder closed down.
    On my desktop, I created a new burn folder called "burn tester 2".  I left it unopened and dragged the same master images from the same master folder directly into the folder collapsed down.  ANd guess what?  All the alias images seem to appear in the "Burn Tester 2" burn folder fine.
    NOW, here is the newly discovered issue.  I removed the alias files in the "Burn Tester 2" Burn folder.  For my next test, I opened the empty burn folder.  So know I have an empty open burn folder window.  I then opened my master folder and highlighted all the master JPEG images and dragged them into the same "Burn Tester 2
    burn folder that is now open.  Guess what?  The issue remains.  I will get some files that copy in as corrupt JPEG files along with mostly Alias files. 
    I deleted the burn tester 2 burn folder all together, and recreated a third virgin burn folder and this time opened first.  when I dragged images to the freshly created and open burn foldder 3, I get the same issue.  When I delete the burn folder contents and collapse (close) the burn folder window, I then drag images to that burn folder 3 directly on the desktop (while closed), and then all the Alias files seem to drag in fine, with no JPEGs.
    So it appears after my testing, I discovered that this issue only happens when I copy into a burn folder that is an open window.
    I am just really confused as to why this is happening.
    Hope this provides additional insight.  BTW:  Yes, I did reboot my system prior to retesting and I am using MAC OS 10.6.8 MacPro Quad Core with 8 GB RAM.

    In Yahoo Answers, someone posted that it could be a sign of some type of malicious software
    <sigh> someone's always eager to raise that specter, huh?
    WebCT is a common educational software tool used by numerous schools and colleges to run courses over an internet connection. Did you, by any chance, enrolled in any school classes around the time this file appeared?
    Of course, to some people, schools are malicious, but that doesn't mean to say this file is.

  • Question about MII and xMII UDS versions

    Hi all,
    just some quick questions on MII and MII UDS:
    Has the final version 12.1 of MII already been released? I can't find it in my service marketplace (does it depend on my account configuration?)
    What is the last MII UDS version? The 4.0 SP2? Is xMII UDS supported on Windows 2003 server 64 bit or only on 32bit?
    Can I connect MII via UDC connector to an UDS different from xMII UDS?
    Your help is appreciated...
    Mauro

    >
    > * Has the final version 12.1 of MII already been released? I can't find it in my service marketplace (does it depend on my account configuration?)
    Yes, it would depend upon your SMP credentials and licensed software purchases (if you have 12.0 then you're eligible for 12.1 too).  But it is not GA yet, so only people in ramp-up currently have access to it.  Don't both asking for a date because it has not been set.  Some time this quarter hopefully
    >
    > * What is the last MII UDS version? The 4.0 SP2? Is xMII UDS supported on Windows 2003 server 64 bit or only on 32bit?
    The 2.5 UDS's are still viable and necessary for some of the vendor API based connections, but 4.0 is available for OleDB, OPC-DA and OPC-HDA.  They have only been validated on 32 bit, but in theory they should work in a 32 bit emulation mode on a Windows 64 bit environment.  Supported vs. unsupported is a thin line as a result, but perhaps others using them could share any specific experiences using them on 64 bit.
    >
    > * Can I connect MII via UDC connector to an UDS different from xMII UDS?
    Your MII version of 11.5, 12.0, or 12.1 will work the same way with the UDS's as they are not version specific to MII.

  • ".alias" file in LV 8.2 DSC - What is in there and why does it change?

    Why does the alias file get updated every time I open and close the associated project WITHOUT SAVING ANYTHING ?
    Repeat:
    I did not save anything.
    What is being saved if I did not change anything?

    Hi all,
    I can give you some reasoning behind the 'why.'  The aliases file
    lets the project know the location (IP) of each of the targets in the
    project to facilitate communication between them.  This is very
    useful in Real-Time and FPGA applications containing multiple
    independent targets.  If you create a new RT cRIO Controller in
    your project, for example, you'd find your aliases file now looks like
    this:
    [My Computer]
    My Computer = "10.0.31.147"
    [RT CompactRIO Target]
    RT CompactRIO Target = "10.0.35.254"
    The reason why the aliases file is updated just by opening the project
    (even without saving the project) is that the project file may have
    been moved to a different computer, or your IP address may have changed
    since the last time it was opened.  LabVIEW needs the current
    address of each of the targets to be able to, among other things, send
    and receive FTP files, set up front-panel communication with the
    target, and properly configure shared variables.  This behavior
    should be present in all flavors of LabVIEW 8.2, and not just with the
    DSC Module.

  • How does Time Machine handle alias files on the backup volume?

    I have been trying to find some info on how Time Machine handles alias files on the backup volume, but can't find anything on that topic. Neither here in this discussion or at the Apple support pages.
    My concern is if an alias file on the backup volume is backed up »as is«, or if it is resolved and the original file is backed up? The last would be most annoying as this will make the size of the backup much larger.
    Even though I do not know of folders having been renamed (which will cause that folder and all its content to be backed up again) Time Machine often backs up a surprisingly large amount of data, so I suspect that alias files could be resolved.
    Any info on this will be appreciated.

    Alias files are NOT followed, AFAIK.
    For more info on how TM works, see this ars technica review.
    Good luck!

  • Purpose of alias file for cs 6.3 ssl

    in the procedure for using ssl in the calendar server:
    http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-4654
    an alias file is created - but after stepping through the certicate creation - i can't see where it is used - what is the purpose of the alias file?
    i see where it is used in the ics.conf file for service.http.ssl.certdb.path - which implies that it is the location of the certificate database - which is inconsistent with the procedure which put it in the config file - so what's up?
    thanks-

    I would suggest that your read through the following KnowledgeBase article to make sure that you have followed the correct steps in calling your .OUT file.  Also, take a look at the Developer Zone article which covers LabVIEW 8.5 Known Issues, and navigate to the section titled External Code.  If you select Run in UI thread in the thread control, LabVIEW is expected to hang on the Call Library Function node.  You can solve this issue by configuring the node to call a DLL written in C.  Hope this helps!

  • Why would an alias file be larger than the original file?

    I have a simple document that is 106kb. When I create an alias to the file, the alias is 133kb. Why would the alias file be larger than the orginal file when the alias file is simply a redirect to the original file?

    Francine has a good explanation here:

  • Keeping Temporary Files Around? Need properly formatted .ali file for a CHM help.

    As part of our localization process, I need to access the .ali file that is in the temporary folder. Back in RH 7, I could just copy the .ali file from the RH project, but in RH 9 it's now in an XML format and isn't in a format directly usable with CHM files. However, when RH compiles the CHM file, the .ali is changed into a format I need. Unfortunately, if I decompile the CHM file, the .ali file isn't there. So my only route is to grab it from the temporary build folder. If I'm compiling a large file, it's not a big deal because I have time to make a copy of the .h file in the temporary folder and paste it somewhere outside of the folder but for smaller projects the temporary folder is around for just a little while before it is removed.
    Does anyone know of a way to keep the temporary build folder around after compilation of a CHM file finishes so I can access this file?
    Thanks,

    Use the Disk Utility in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder to create a disk image and use the disk image to store the Mac files; they will keep their date and other Mac specific information. The disk image's contents cannot normally be used on a PC.
    There are other ways of doing this if the disk image method doesn't work for some reason; these include using this method of creating partitions, and installing MacDrive on the PCs.

  • Why will alias files not preview in Bridge (running version CS5).

    help! I'm using Bridge version CS5, on Mac OSX, version 10.7  and I can't get alias files to preview. it just shows up as a pdf icon...any help that could steer me in the direction of what i'm doing wrong would be great! thanks!

    it just shows up as a pdf icon...any help that could steer me in the direction of what i'm doing wrong would be great! thanks!
    You are not doing anything wrong, an Alias is not a file containing a preview, it is just an alias of the original and clicking on it reveals the original file itself.
    Try a collection from the files, a collections contains also a kind of an alias but that does show the thumbs as they are.

  • How to open alias files with applescript in Powerpoint?

    I would like to do something like this:
    set F to choose folder
    tell application "Finder" to set P to (files of entire contents of F whose name extension is "ppt")
    repeat with oneFile in P
              tell application "Microsoft PowerPoint"
      activate
                        open (oneFile as alias)
              end tell
    end  tell
    It works fine if all files are regular files.
    But I want/need it to work also, if some of the files are aliases (icon has the little pointer in Finder).
    Could some kind soul explain to me what I would have to do?
    TIA.
    Gabriel.

    Are you saying this doesn't work? Generally applications don't/shouldn't care about whether you pass them an actual file or an alias.
    In either case, it's not hard to dereference the alias back to the original file:
    set F to choose folder
    tell application "Finder" to set P to (files of entire contents of F whose name extension is "ppt")
    repeat with oneFile in P
              if class of oneFile is alias file then
                        tell application "Finder" to set oneFile to (original item of oneFile)
              end if
      open oneFile
    end repeat
    Note that I've just specified 'open oneFile' rather than targetting PowerPoint directly - there's no need to target PowerPoint if it's the default application for .ppt files. However, there's no problem telling PowerPoint to open the file if you prefer.

  • Can I import Mac alias files into Premiere Pro CC?

    I am trying to keep my folder structure clean and organized, and am using alias files to gather miscellaneous B-roll video files into a new project folder without removing them from their permenant location and without creating duplicates. Alias files on a mac are basically shortcuts to the original file. FCP 7 and FCP X will import these alias files with no problems, but when I try to import them into Premiere Pro, it says they are unsupported file types. Is there any way to make this work?

    Thanks, I was prepared to hear that I would have to make a copy. One note though, is that when i import the alias file into a Final Cut Pro project, it automatically links to the original permanent file location, so if the alias gets deleted, it doesn't matter becuase it is linked to the original.
    To answer your question, though, the idea for using alias files is to keep the server clean, so that multiple video editors don't keep copying the same files multiple times into their project folders when they start a new project, and then no one goes back and cleans it up, so you end up with Terabytes of duplicate files on the server. I guess the other option is to train everyone to hunt for the original files themselves and import from that location instead of their own project folders.
