TDMS & comparison of Config files

Hello

I'm not really new to the community, because I got a lot of queries that have already been asked before, and I found an answer here, so far. I studied up on top of TDMS (file > Group > Channel) and its conceptual hierarchy seems to be very similar to the configuration files (file > Section > key). Now, I think that it is possible to use the model TDMS for both configuration files apart from measurement results, but I thought I should ask...

What are the advantages and disadvantages of TDMS Config files (*.ini) vs?

I have not found so far any form of comparison between the two. I would like to personally exempt accessibility Notepad the file of configuration as a benefit because it would be best to restrict access to the system from unauthorized users settings.

Yes, I would consider even using PDM to store key/value data because it is designed for streaming time series of data on the disk.

I think that if you want the human readable config files then INI files are the way to go - especially with some functions in the MGI toolboxes for read/write anything (for example, the clusters as sections) in an INI file.

If you want to protect the config file then I think I would probably recommend some kind of binary file format - probably something like a SQLite database like that lets you easily look up values. If you want to go further - place the file in a hidden place (for example % ProgramData %) and making a sort of reversible encryption of the file content would help protect content against unauthorized viewing/changes.

By experience, using the read/write of MGI what it functions of INI files have been the best solution, we have developed with until we decide to consider using a SQLite database. Teh that if you Exchange cluster configuration, he manages to read the fields that are present and uses the default values that you specify if they are not done it is handy when you need to change the cluster in a future version. Certainly flatten LabVIEW functions XML don't do this - if the definition of type changes then I think it returns an error.

  • How to remove all occurrences of Yahoo from my "subject: config ' file?"

    Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

    Somehow, I hijacked by Yahoo yesterday and ends as my default search provider. And, after that, the small magnifying glass where search engines are listed have disappeared. Firefox doesn't have to feel very safe!

    I restored the search "magnifying glass" through "Customize", but I don't want any more 'surprises' Yahoo

    The next four lines are copied from my "subject: config ' file." Are they necessary?

    browser.search.order.US.1;data:text/plain,browser.search.order.US.1=Yahoo
    Browser.Search.Order.2; Yahoo
    browser.contentHandlers.types.0.uri; https://Add.my.Yahoo.com/RSS?URL=%s
    browser.contentHandlers.types.0.title; My Yahoo!

    In addition, these two:

    gecko.handlerService.schemes.mailto.0.uriTemplate; https://compose.mail.Yahoo.com/?to=%s
    gecko.handlerService.schemes.mailto.0.name; Yahoo! Mail

    browser.search.order.US.1;data:text/plain,browser.search.order.US.1=Yahoo > default search engine. This line is necessary, but you can define a different value to replace Yahoo, Google or Bing for example

    Browser.Search.Order.2; Yahoo > if you use the American version of Firefox, this line is not used

    browser.contentHandlers.types.0.title; My Yahoo! > corresponding to the 1st app/site used when you subscribe to a feed

    gecko.handlerService.schemes.mailto.0.uriTemplate; https://compose.mail.Yahoo.com/?to=%s and gecko.handlerService.schemes.mailto.0.name; Yahoo! Mail > these lines define the 1st element in the list that appears when you open a link mailto: Protocol (i.e. an email address)

    To conclude, except the 1st line, Yahoo does not work on your computer, unless you specifically choose to use when a context menu is displayed.

  • Config file error

    Hello

    I could play Bejeweld 2 on my laptop. This game is in the 'Games' folder in 'programs' under the Start button. But from today I'm not capable of playing Bejeweld 2 or any other game that is located in the folder "Game". All I get is an error message saying the following: Config File error cannot open file (line 0, column 0).

    I use Internet Explorer 8.0.7600.16385

    The only game that works is called Solitaire.

    I would like to help resolve this. I tried the Microsoft Fix It, but that is only an error and could not continue the analysis of the computer.

    Best regards

    Kelly Heijn

    Hi Kelly Heijn,.

    1. Only tried Microsoft fixit?
    2. When was the last time it was working fine?
    3. Did you the latest changes on the computer?

    Check if you can run games in SafeMode.

    Note: Screen would be inappropriate in safe mode.

    Start your computer in safe mode

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/start-your-computer-in-safe-mode

    Restart the computer to return to normal mode

    Start your computer in safe mode

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/start-your-computer-in-safe-mode

    Restart the computer to return to normal mode

    If the above step failsthen, I would say that SFC scan running on the computer that would be a search for files corrupt on the computer system and replace.

    The analysis may take some time, so be patient. Windows allows to fix corrupt or missing files it finds. If the information of the installation CD is required to fix the problem, you may be asked to insert your Windows Vista installation CD.

  • After 13 updated both the system rebooted and now as he begins to install XP it autorestarts. It will not recover to the last known good config and delivers a message of corrupted config file.

    Any ideas?

    Thank you

    Frank

    You will share exactly what the message of the corrupt config file says?  My crystal ball takes off the second Wednesday of each month.
    If your system reboots continuously, the next time the system reboots, start tapping the F8 key until you see the menu Boot Options Advanced XP.  On the Advanced Boot Options menu, select:
    Disable the automatic restart in the event of system failure
    This will display the error message that you don't see when the system restarts.  This is what Windows is supposed to do when there a failure - it is supposed to automatically restart.  The error you see on the screen has your clues...
    If you do not see the menu Options start Advancded or you do not have to turn it off automatic restart on option system in the list of choices, you need to try again until you do.  Start typing the F8 key earlier and more frequently as your system begins to come alive.  If you miss the window of opportunity F8, you must try again.
    Please provide additional information on your system:
    What is your system brand and model?
    What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?
    Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..
    The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination?  (this includes the plug pulling, buttons power, remove the battery, etc.)
    The afflicted system has a CD/DVD drive work?
    You have a true bootable XP installation CD (it is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)
    ?
    Most of the time (in recent memory) when there is a problem after installing Microsoft updates, the problem is because the computer was somehow afflicted before/when updates have been installed and updates simply bring to the surface a problem that was not evident before.
    If the last thing people remember is to install the updates from MS, it's am understandable reaction in some way involve updates for updating the post problems when things don't work properly afterwards and especially during the next reboot.
    Another reaction is to try to remember all of the updates you have installed and somehow uninstall the updates one of the XP Recovery Console until you find one who is 'responsible '.  Unless you noted all issues of update, it would be more difficult, but not impossible.  It is unlikely that practical or useful advice in most situations, but you can of course try it.
    Security updates sometimes holes patch XP and when security holes are patched (and XP is "tighter"), affliction can no longer do what is done, things to happen are no longer allowed to happen as a result of the strengthening of security, the system has now a new problem (especially when it initializes more) , and it seems that install updates broken system while in fact, it's just a coincidence.
    Another thing that can happen is that the Microsoft updates will change or update certain critical files on the XP system.  Depending on what your software antivirus or antimalware software is, these programs can interpret the new or updated files to day as being a threat or somehow infected and quarantine (effectively delete) files it thinks are wary.
    The next time you restart your system, you'll have some sort of a problem, or you do not start if the files are missing.  Once more, the problem is not with the updates, it's another condition on your system with your antivirus or antimalware programs you beautiful little (they could be aware of what like the new look of Microsoft files).
    You may have seen some or heard talk about some of these kinds of people, but not too intellectually stimulating general or scenarios of error after update:
    NTLDR is missing or corrupt, ntdetect.com is missing or damaged, ntoskrnl.exe is missing or damaged, hal.dll is missing or corrupt, etc.
    These types of errors are usually very easy to fix, but if you don't know what's happening, the temptation is to do a repair installation, or if none of these kinds of things are really necessary, completely reinstall your XP.  I have never done a system restore, a repair install or reinstalled XP in my life to solve any problem (but I did the process for practice).  These things are simply not options with me.
    Given that Microsoft sends many updates on the second Tuesday of each month (they call it "Patch Tuesday"), this means that the or to the second Wednesday of each month there is an increase of 'problems' in the field - in particular the types of problems "my computer does not start after you install the updates from Microsoft.  That day is also known as "exploit Wednesday".
    You can read about it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patch_Tuesday
    It is likely that if you have a problem like this or after the installation of MS updates, someone else has also had the same problem and understood what to do about it.  A problem here, is that no one knows what is your problem.

    Do, or do not. There is no test.

    I need YOUR voice and the points for helpful answers and propose responses. I'm saving for a pony!

    Hello

    Was the HP works well before game console? If Yes, then do you remember any hardware/software changes, after which the problem started?

    Method 1: I would say you put the computer to boot and then check if the problem is caused by any third-party application.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

    Note: After troubleshooting, be sure to set the computer to start as usual as mentioned in step 7 in the above article.

    Method 2: I would say as you uninstall and reinstall the HP game console and check to see if it helps:

    Uninstall or change a program

  • Jabber-config file update on CUCM 10.5.2

    I am looking to update my jabber file - config.xml and turn on numbering URI.  I know that I need to add this:

    true

    It has now than that:

    UDS true mail

    Couple questions.

    1. How can do a test this locally?  I tried a few different methods and they do not seem to work.  I read somewhere that the jabber config file is not stored locally, is this possible test on version 10?  All of the items that I was referencing are version 9.

    2. once I have it working locally, the best way to download and difficulty would be to connect via the operating system administrator and to download the new config.XML - jabber, overwriting the current one?

    3. to dial the URI, I'm just able to put an email address and hit call, right?  What to do now, and he will not be trying to make a call.

    I think I have everything on the configured backend, just need this piece of jabber fixed test.

    Thanks in advance.

    1 jabber - config.xml file is stored on the PC with the name cachedtftpconfigstore. It started of jabber version 10.6. I suppose now you want to test this locally on 1 machine and if it passes with success then you'll apply it globally. to test a local machine, download the new xml file of jabber-config on TFTP server with jabber-config name - use .xml. now mention this file name in the field of support for cisco on the device of CSF on CUCM configuration page. see this guide for syntax.

    http://www.Cisco.com/c/en/us/TD/docs/voice_ip_comm/Jabber/11_0/CJAB_BK_D...

    See the section "configuration of the group to create.

    2. Yes, you must log into the OS admin page and download the file config.xml - jabber so that it can be distributed on a global scale.

    3. Please consult the guide to successful composition URIs.

  • Reading a config file?

    Those of us who have programmed with Java on the server are calibrated at the use of config files - files that contains pairs name / value that can be read at the time of application start. The attributes control the app behaviour. For example, get a file in Directory x Windows and get the same from the directory there on Linux. X and are stored in a configuration file.

    I wonder what is the best way to do the same on the BlackBerry phones...  I see a few possibilities:

    1. create a config file in the dir folder resources and also to write a class to read in this file.

    2. use the JAD file

    3. use the resource group?

    Suggestions or comments are appreciated.

    Thank you

    Thanks Deepesh and Simon.

    It seems to me that JAD is probably the simplest way - small additional codes needed

  • Combining three versions in a single backup file using the batch client/config file

    Hello again,

    Is there anyway to get three versions in a single backup file using a config file and the batch client, currently we have this Configuration file:

    [General]

    Operation = Multiple

    Username =

    Password =

    URL = net. TCP://localhost: 5210, Oracle, Drm, ProcessManager

    LogFileName=D:\DRM\VIPTBAU\LOG_FILES\logfile.log

    [Activities]

    OperationCount = 3

    Operation1 = VIP_DIMENSIONS

    Operation2 = ACCOUNT_RF

    Existence3 = ACCOUNT_BS

    [VIP_DIMENSIONS]

    Operation = Backupversiontofile

    Connection = MONTH_END_BACKUP

    VersionAbbrev = TESTPROJ_VIP_DIMENSIONS

    filename = VIP_DIMENSIONS

    [ACCOUNT_RF]

    Operation = Backupversiontofile

    Connection = MONTH_END_BACKUP

    VersionAbbrev = TESTPROJ_RF_ACCOUNT

    filename = VIP_DIMENSIONS

    [ACCOUNT_BS]

    Operation = Backupversiontofile

    Connection = MONTH_END_BACKUP

    VersionAbbrev = TESTPROJ_BS_ACCOUNT

    filename = VIP_DIMENSIONS


    which generates three separate files. We tried using a single operation and listing the 3 times of the VersionAbbrev, but that didn't work and also list the 3 versions in a VersionAbbrev.

    If anyone has any ideas they would be greatly appreciated

    See you soon

    Hi Chris Harris-Oracle

    DRM client batch supports export several versions of a single file and restore it back. You must specify the defined version name and the delimiter.

    You can configure the cfg below the backup file

    [General]

    Operation = Multiple

    Username =

    Password =

    URL = net. TCP://localhost: 5210, Oracle, Drm, ProcessManager

    LogFileName=D:\DRM\VIPTBAU\LOG_FILES\logfile.log

    [Activities]

    OperationCount = 1

    OP1 = VIP_DIMENSIONS

    [VIP_DIMENSIONS]

    Operation = Backupversiontofile

    Connection = MONTH_END_BACKUP

    VersionAbbrev = TESTPROJ_VIP_DIMENSIONS, TESTPROJ_RF_ACCOUNT, TESTPROJ_BS_ACCOUNT

    filename = VIP_DIMENSIONS

    Delimiter = comma

    to restore

    [VIP_DIMENSIONS]

    Operation = RestoreVersionFromFile

    Connection = MONTH_END_BACKUP

    SourceVersionAbbrev = TESTPROJ_VIP_DIMENSIONS, TESTPROJ_RF_ACCOUNT, TESTPROJ_BS_ACCOUNT

    TargetVersionAbbrev = TESTPROJ_VIP_DIMENSIONS, TESTPROJ_RF_ACCOUNT, TESTPROJ_BS_ACCOUNT

    filename = VIP_DIMENSIONS

    Delimiter = comma

    Try it tested and it works very well

  • After the failure of snapshot on WS11 can no longer light station: inconsistency of Config file somewhere. How turn on now?

    Yes, I always use WS11, suites my thin QA purposes. Yesterday I realized that I had not taken snapshots of an important forum and has attempted to do. Well, I could have the computer always on when I clicked snapshot (OH!)  and she has not (although a snapshot file has been created). This is now, when I try to turn on the machine, I get a "file not found: M_Windows7_1.vmdk.» The correct name of this config file is VM_Windows7_1.vmdk, so somehow that the V is lost in a backup. I can't find any file to edit with the missing V. No idea how I'm going to bring this machine very important back working again? Is this something in the config of the snapshot file? I don't want to go delete stuff without knowing the consequences. Maybe it's as simple as put the snapshot files in a folder and see if it lights? Please let me know what other info you can have files of newspapers, etc.  I start to panic.

    Thanks in advance!

    So, there is no more recent log file in the folder of the virtual machine?

    It's really a weird question. Since you do not have a backup, please remove the virtual machine from the library of VMware Workstation (don't remove disk). Then create a new directory on drive G: (e.g. "VM_Windows 7_1" and move this directory VM_Windows 7_1.vmx and VM_Windows 7_1.vmdk .) After that, remove the *.lck files and move all other files related to the virtual machine to another (temporary) folder, so that the root of G: drive does not contain the files of the virtual machine again. After that, open the . VMX file from the file menu of the VMware Workstation and try to turn on. The only message you will receive is a question of if the virtual machine has been moved or copied, where "moved" is the answer in this case.
