I have an end user version of an application written in FileMaker 10 (FML10.dll) and I need the data behind the software. Anyone knows a way to extract the data?
Looks like the USR file containts the data, but I don't know how to open it. Is there a way to query it throught c#?

The Asas 2013-01.USR file contains the data AND the logic. However, the file is encrypted. You can open the file using either Asas 2013-01.exe (double-clicking Asas 2013-01.exe should do this automatically) or Filemaker application. What you can do once the file is opened depends on the privileges your login account has.

I am currently using the routine proposed by Vivek to export the data of an Access 2013 table (tables linked by dsn odbc) to a csv file
Everything works fine
But how to do the reverse operation, therefore having the table empty and wanting to import (via vba code then automatically) the same data exported before, how to proceed?
But why use this severely limited file format? Export to an Access database, and you keep everything from the original table:
DbEngine(0).CreateDatabase "C:\Test\Backup.accdb", dbLangGeneral, dbVersion120
DoCmd.CopyObject "C:\Test\Backup.accdb", "Products", acTable, "Products"
If you wish to copy all tables in the database, use this simple call:
SaveAsText 6, "", "C:\Test\Tables.accdb"
I need to upload some 2000 documents to specific users in salesforce. I have a csv file that has the Salesforce-assigned ContactID, as well as a direct path to the files on my desktop. Each contact's specific file url has been included in the csv. How can I upload them all at one and, especially, to the correct contact?
You indicated in the comments / chat that you want it as "Files".
The "Files" object is bit more complex than Attachments, you'll need to do it in 2-3 steps. What you see as a File (you might see it referred to in documentation as Chatter Files or Salesforce Content) is actually several tables. There's
ContentDocument which can be kind of a file header (title, description, language, tags, linkage to many other areas in SF - because it can be standalone, it can be uploaded to certain SF Content Library, it can be linked to Accounts, Contacts, $_GOD knows what else)
ContentVersion which is well, actual payload. Only most recent version is displayed out of the box but if you really want you can go back in time
and more
The crap part is that you can't insert ContentDocument directly (there's no create() call in the list of operations) .
Theory
So you'll need:
Insert ContentVersion (v1 will automatically create for you parent ContentDocuments... it does sound bit ass-backwards but it works). After this is done you'll have a bunch of standalone documents loaded but not linked to any Contacts
Learn the Ids of their parent ContentDocuments
Insert ContentDocumentLink records that will connect Contacts and their PDFs
Practice
This is my C:\stacktest folder. It contains some SF cheat sheet PDFs.
Here's my file for part 1 of the load
Title PathOnClient VersionData
"Lightning Components CheatSheet" "C:\stacktest\SF_LightningComponents_cheatsheet_web.pdf" "C:\stacktest\SF_LightningComponents_cheatsheet_web.pdf"
"Process Automation CheatSheet" "C:\stacktest\SF_Process_Automation_cheatsheet_web.pdf" "C:\stacktest\SF_Process_Automation_cheatsheet_web.pdf"
"Admin CheatSheet" "C:\stacktest\SF_S1-Admin_cheatsheet_web.pdf" "C:\stacktest\SF_S1-Admin_cheatsheet_web.pdf"
"S1 CheatSheet" "C:\stacktest\SF_S1-Developer_cheatsheet_web.pdf" "C:\stacktest\SF_S1-Developer_cheatsheet_web.pdf"
Fire Data Loader, select Insert, select showing all Salesforce objects. Find ContentVersion. Load should be straightforward (if you're hitting memory issues set batch size to something low, even 1 record at a time if really needed).
You'll get back a "success file", it's useless. We don't need the Ids of generated content versions, we need their parents... Fire "Export" in Data Loader, pick all objects again, pick ContentDocument. Use query similar to this:
Select Id, Title, FileType, FileExtension
FROM ContentDocument
WHERE CreatedDate = TODAY AND CreatedBy.FirstName = 'Ethan'
You should see something like this:
"ID","TITLE","FILETYPE","FILEEXTENSION"
"0690g0000048G2MAAU","Lightning Components CheatSheet","PDF","pdf"
"0690g0000048G2NAAU","Process Automation CheatSheet","PDF","pdf"
"0690g0000048G2OAAU","Admin CheatSheet","PDF","pdf"
"0690g0000048G2PAAU","S1 CheatSheet","PDF","pdf"
Use Excel and magic of VLOOKUP or other things like that to link them back by title to Contacts. You wrote you already have a file with Contact Ids and titles so there's hope... Create a file like that:
ContentDocumentId LinkedEntityId ShareType Visibility
0690g0000048G2MAAU 0037000000TWREI V InternalUsers
0690g0000048G2NAAU 0030g000027rQ3z V InternalUsers
0690g0000048G2OAAU 0030g000027rQ3a V InternalUsers
0690g0000048G2PAAU 0030g000027rPz4 V InternalUsers
1st column is the file Id, then contact Id, then some black magic you can read about & change if needed in ContentDocumentLink docs.
Load it as insert to (again, show all objects) ContentDocumentLink.
Woohoo! Beer time.
Your CSV should contain following fields :
- ParentID = Id of object you want to link the attachment to (the ID of the contact)
- Name = name of the file
- ContentType = extension(.xls or .pdf or ...)
- OwnerId = if empty I believe it takes your user as owner
- body = the location on your machine of the file (for instance: C:\SFDC\Files\test.pdf
Use this csv to insert the records (via data loader) into the Attachment object.
You will then see for each contact, that records have been added to the 'Notes & Attachments' related list.
I am working on an Access 2013 database that someone else created. It has a module that exports several reports as PDF files to a specific folder. Some of the reports are exporting successfully but 3 of them aren't. An example of the code used is as follows:
DoCmd.RunSavedImportExport "Export-rptJobsToClose_FS2"
I receive an error that the database can't save the output data to the file you've selected. I realize that the path is saved in the "Export-rptJobsToClose_FS2" saved export. I would like to see the path so I have tried opening the MSysIMEXSpecs table but when I do, it is totally empty. So is the corresponding table MSysIMEXColumns. If I create a new SavedExport definition and use the same name as the one in the code, I get the message that it already exists. How is that possible that it already exists when those system tables are empty? I have tried creating saved exports with new names, but if they don't work I can't reuse those names as I get the message that they already exist. So, I have to keep thinking of new names and can't see any information about the Saved Exports that I have already created. Thanks for any help.
MSysIMEX* tables contain import specifications for correct data transfer. Saved import-exports stored in other place. You can see all names of saved imports/exports using menu External Data -> Saved Imports/Exports, there you can also see and edit destination path and import/export name.
Thru VBA you can reach the collection of saved imports/exports by using collection CurrentProject.ImportExportSpecifications, destination path stored in XML attribute of each Item.
The code below prints all existing import-export specifications
Dim ie As ImportExportSpecification
For Each ie In CurrentProject.ImportExportSpecifications
Debug.Print ie.Name
Next
Saved import/exports in Access are not the same thing as import/export specifications. If you want to see the saved import/export definition, you can dump it by typing the following command into the Immediate window.
? CodeProject.ImportExportSpecifications(*SpecificationName*).XML
SSIS
This is general question which i am going to ask and might possible to have multiple answer.
Techie, please share with me the best solution if familiar with scenario.
i have 100 customer and they share file for us to load into our database.
and after compution and the output file need to be saved in Output folder.
the name of the output file should be customer_name.txt where customer_name
is coming from a column available in input file.
Can anyone please help me how should i design this in SSIS to achieve my Goal
At first, use a Foreach Loop Container for every file.
For each one, store data into your importTable in database with the fileName or customerName.
Then, when you need to get output file:
Get the nameFile or userName with a query and save it into a ssis variable.
Create your file with the 'DestinationVariable' as 'User::yourVariableName'
Add the data from your database and then use a simple script to move it into output folder
Example
I'm doing my first ABAP job and I don't have much experience so I need a little help.
What I want to do to create a batch job that runs every morning at a specific time, fetches data from different tables and exports it as a csv file. To create that batch job I can use transaction code SM36 or SM37.
But I need some help how to fetch the data?
Has anyone an example code that I can use or take a look at?
TheG is right, it sounds like you're trying to learn ABAP from scratch with no guidance. That's difficult but here are some basics:
There are three parts to this:
1. create a program
2. generate a file
3. schedule the job
For 1,
If you go to SE38, you can create a new report. You'll have to check with your colleagues about the namespace, but usually you just start the program with Z (which puts it in the 'customer' namespace).
In the entry box of SE38, you can type DEMO to pull up lots of sap-provided demo reports. The names usually give you a hint about what they demo and you can probably find one that mentions creating a file.
Once you create your own report through SE38 by typing in the name and hitting enter, you can use SELECT...INTO TABLE or SELECT ... ENDSELECT to query the database tables. Highlight select and click the blue i icon to pull up SAP's internal documentation.
At it's most basic, you can use the WRITE statement to print out the rows and columns of your data.
Once you have your report running, then scheduling it with SM36 will be more self explanatory.
This is very basic ABAP reporting program stuff. Making the report run as a background/batch job is the least of the concerns. Let us help you walk through this.
-> Have you done any reporting programming before ?
-> Do you have the list of tables from which you want the data and do you know how they are linked ?
-> Do you know how often this report would be run and what would be the selection criteria required ?
-> Did you check with the functional team whether you want 'delta pull' or 'full pull' every time you run the report ?
-> Do you have the file share where you want to output the file ? Is it on the presentation server or the application server ? If not presentation server can you reason out why not ?
-> Did you confirm on the file name and how it should look ?
-> Do you know how to generate a CSV file ? If this is a 'production requirement' ,are there reusable frameworks for handling file operations in your company ?
-> Do you have the final format of how the CSV file would look ?
-> Did you verify with the functional team whether they want the output data in external format for some fields ?
-> Did you check if there are date fields in your output and what format you want it to be for consistency ?
If you are familiar with ABAP a little bit, explore answers for above, write a report and getting it running in dialog mode. Then revert back to us and we will help you on how to run it as a batch job.
