Can I import data from a database in a FrameMaker using ExtendScript document?

I want to import the part of database information in a structured document in FrameMaker (XML). The document would be an illustrated parts catalog, built by merging the text in the document structured with Bill of material stored in a database and graphic files. ExtendScript for this, or do I have to study a different language for this programmatic approach to the construction of a document?

There is no direct way to connect to a database with FrameMaker ExtendScript. It is possible to write code C++ to interact with scripts, so you could write some kind of connector in C++ that would work with ExtendScript. ExtendScript can work with XML files, then another solution is to export the data from the database in XML format and ExtendScript allows you to analyze and import it into FrameMaker.

I'd take a serious look at FrameScript. FrameScript has built-in ODBC support, you can connect directly to your database and use SQL queries to get your data into FrameMaker. There also ActiveX is supported, so you can use ADODB technology to get data from your database. I did the import of the database in a bunch of my scripts over the years. Please let me know if you have any questions or comments. -Rick

    Data import is long to explain,

    To be more precise,
    1. you would establish a connection with your source systems and destination where you pull the data.
    You can do this by registering adapters of integration for send_break_action source machines
    2. you would then upward some formats for importing, maps and tables of control.
    Please go through the Administrator's guide,

  • Export data from the database to excel file using the procedure

    Hello

    I need to export data from database to oracle 10 g for the excel file, I try this code:

    First, I create directory to the user sys and give permition to user that I'm working on it
    create or replace directory PALPROV_REPORTS as 'c:\temp';
    
    grant read, write on directory PALPROV_REPORTS to user12 ;
    then I run this code
    declare
        output utl_file.file_type;
    begin
        output := utl_file.fopen( 'user12' , 'emp1.slk', 'w',32000 );
        utl_file.put_line(output, 'line one: some text');
        utl_file.fclose( output );
    end;
    the problem appears as
    ORA-29280: invalid path ORA-06512: at "SYS." UTL_FILE", line 29 ORA-06512: at"SYS." UTL_FILE", line 448 ORA-06512: at line 4

    Notice that I use the operating system windows as a client and a linux as a server database

    The file will be written to the database server or your GNU / linux and I'm quite sure, there is no folder named "c:\temp" on linux. It will probably be ' / tmp' on a unix server.

    And open the file, you must give the name logic directory 'PALPROV_REPORTS' it instead of the user name "utilisateur12".

  • How can I transfer data from the database in a variable (or array)?

    I made my request according to the example (http://corlan.org/2009/06/12/working-in-flash-builder-4-with-flex-and-php/). Everything works fine. I changed a single function to query the database - add two parameters and get the value from the table to a string format. A test operation shows that everything is ok. If I want to display this value in the text box, I just do drag and drop off service to this element in Design view

    (< s:TextArea = "153" x = "435" id = "nameText" text = "{getDataMeanResult.lastResult [0] .name}" width = "296" height = "89" / > ").

    Also, it works fine, just a warning and encouraged to use ArrayCollection.getItemAt ().

    Now, I want to send the value to a variable or an array, but in both cases, I get an error: TypeError: Error #1010: a term is undefined and has no property..

    How can I pass a value to the database in a variable? Thank you.

    public var nameTemp:String;

    getDataMeanResult.token = authors.getDataMean (arrayOfNumber [0], dir_id);

    nameTemp = getDataMeanResult.lastResult [0] .name;

    public var nameArray:Array = new Array();

    for (var i: uint = o; i < 3; i ++) {}

    getDataMeanResult.token = authors.getDataMean (arrayOfNumber [i], dir_id);

    NomTableau [i] = getDataMeanResult.lastResult [0] .name;

    }

    Then this simple question: How can I place a mySQL database data in a variable using the wizards FB4 (connect with PHP)?

    If you can show examples please.

    I couldn't find examples. Send data to a field text or DataGrid - much, but no variable.

    the use of assistants? not sure... it is generally a bad idea to rely on them, because they will never fully what you want anyway. I would recommend learning abit of PHP and manage by yourself, because it allows you to manage everything exactly as you wish.

    small example of communicating with a database using PHP + FB4:

    mount a database

    write you a small script that will access your database, get a value, for example:

    ";
    
        while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
        {
            if($row['messageID'] == "3")
            {
                print $row['message'];
            }
        }
        print "\n";
    ?>
    

    This will get the message with ID '3 '.

    make an HTTPService in FB4 app to call this Script, as follows:

    
    
        
            
    
            
        
    
        
            
        
        
    
    
    

    and the value must be picked up by the Script and properly stored in a variable

  • How can I import data from history, including the time of the on-site visit?

    When I opened my "History" tab, I can then select in the left column, for example "in the course of the last seven days' and then select 'Copy' in the tab 'organize '. But when I paste it into an Excel worksheet, the only information that appears is the Web site. Is it possible to import also the column "date of visit?

    You will need to use an extension like SQLite Manager to export history to CSV.

    You can add more columns if necessary.

    Yes. Just pre-create the table partitions WITHOUT in the system that you want to import. Then start the import operation with ignores = (ignore existing objects). To import the rows in the table, and since it is not defined with partitions there is no partitions.

  • How to import data from CSV file in a table using oracle forms

    can someone help me find the method to import and select the client machine file?

    THX.

    You want to import the contents of the file or the file itself? I assume that you want to import the contents of the file. For this, there are really only two options to make an Excel (.csv) file and import into shapes; WebUtil or a JavaBean. Some examples of both:

  • Import data from a spreadsheet on the web to the Numbers worksheet

    How can I import data from a spreadsheet on the net in a Numbers spreadsheet, keeping its original format? It is not a problem when you use Microsoft Excel or OpenOffice spreadsheet and had no problem when I was with Appleworks6. When I try in number, however, the data which is along a line on the original worksheet comes to the bottom of the left column, which is completely useless.

    copy the line then pasted in numbers (command C and V command) has always worked well.

    The line of values must be copied from a continuous row of cells.

    If you provide a link to a spreadsheet, I can test it on my machine.

    Hello

    As said Ndiaye, the exp and imp utilities or the Data Pump can be used to export data from a database and to play these files in a database. It is probably the most common way to copy data from one database to another.

    You can create a database link in a database to another database of reference. Then you can use the database tables, or both in the same statement.
    See CREATE DATABASE LINK in the SQL language manual

  • Vista cannot import data from Taxcut document initially used in Windows XP in 2008. In fact, it is impossible to open the same (initialize) this document. How can I change this?

    How can I get VISTA to open or import data from a document of Taxcut created in 2008 in Windows XP. The document is installed under VISTA, but VISTA is not able to open it or even recognize it.

    You must Taxcut 2008 installed on the system to open the file - it needs the program to open the file (the file itself is not enough - he needs the program to open it - and it should probably be the same year to open it but it may work to the year next to import).  It is possible that you can import data from the file in a later version of the software (I can do it with TurboTax to carry on information from previous years - although I've never tried to do by skipping a year).  According to the Center for Comptibility Vista, Taxcut should be compatible with Vista, http://www.microsoft.com/windows/compatibility/windows-vista/Search.aspx?type=Software&s=Taxcut , so that shouldn't be the problem.

    I hope this helps.

  • importing data from the old system to the new system, key to the raw16 column

    Hi, experts,

    now I have a new system, the design of the system is to use raw (16) column as the key column in all tables of database.
    of course, when the new system goes live (in production), new records of transactions are written to the new database system.
    When the new system inserts new records, it manages itself to avoid any conflict of the raw key column value (16)


    Now, I'm dealing with this problem:

    I need to import data from the old system to the new system, I use sys_guid() to fill the column raw (16) into the new database system.
    How can I avoid conflicts of raw column value (16) between the old system data and the new data of database system?

    the sql code I write is very simple:

    insert into new_sys_table_a (key_column_raw_16,...,...)
    Select sys_guid(), old_sys_col_a, old_sys_col_b
    of old_sys_table_a;
    insert into new_sys_table_a (key_column_raw_16, col1, col2 )
    select key_column_raw_16, col1, col2
    from old_sys_table_a;
