i'm working in Centura 2.1 team developer and I want to generate (.pdf) files direct from the system and every .pdf file has a unique name according to the data inside this file.
how can I do it ?
Try to look at the page:
https://samples.tdcommunity.net/index.php?dir=
Here is a lot examples working with PDF.
After TeamDeveloper v5 you can use SalReportPrintToFile() which creates a PDF.
Otherwise you could install PDF995 ( free ) and call some of its many functions if you don't want to use Acrobat Writer ActiveX.

I have a couple of large .xlsb files in 2FA-protected SharePoint. They refresh periodically, and I'd like to automate the process of pulling them across to a local directory. I can do this in PowerBI already by polling the folder list, filtering to the folder/files that I want, importing them and using an R script to write that to an .rds (it doesn't need to be .rds - any compressed format would do). Here's the code:
let
#"~ Query ~"="",
//Address for the SP folder
SPAddress="https://....sharepoint.com/sites/...",
//Poll the content
Source15 = SharePoint.Files(SPAddress, [ApiVersion=15]),
//... some code to filter the content list down to the 2 .xlsb files I'm interested in - they're listed as nested 'binary' items under column 'Content' within table 'xlsbList'
//R export within an arbitrary 'add column' instruction
ExportRDS = Table.AddColumn(xlsbList, "Export", each R.Execute(
"saveRDS(dataset, file = ""C:/Users/current.user/Desktop/XLSBs/" & [Label] & ".rds"")",[dataset=Excel.Workbook([Content])[Data]{0}]))
However, the files are so large that my login times out before the refresh can complete. I've tried using R's file.copy command instead of saveRDS, to pick up the files as binaries (so PowerBI never has to import them):
R.Execute("file.copy(dataset, ""C:/Users/current.user/Desktop/XLSBs/""),[dataset=[Content]])
with dataset=[Content] instead of dataset=Excel.Workbook([Content])[Data]{0} (which gives me a different error, but in any event would result in the same runtime issues as before) but it tells me The Parameter 'dataset' isn't a Table. Is there a way to reference what PowerBI sees as binary objects, from within nested R (or Python) code so that I can copy them to a local directory without PowerBI importing them as data?
Unfortunately I don't have permissions to set the SharePoint site up for direct access from R/Python, or I'd leave PowerBI out entirely.
Thanks in advance for your help
I am using IBM DiffMerge to generate a Report that shows all differences between two .cls files or .sbs files. I was playing with it and I saw that there is a filed in option menu that allows you to change the format of the report, but it implies some keywords, like $elemname to print the element's name or $elemtype to print its type $leftonly or $rightonly which show how many differences are in the left diagram or in the right one.
Now, I was wondering if there are more variables like those above, especially one that can print a component's GUID (unique ID in Rhapsody).
Thanks,
Daniel
I would expect that $GUID will give you what you're looking for.
Under the ReporterPlus installation folder there is a folder named Templates. In it you'll find a file named DiffReport.dpl which you can load it into ReporterPlus for editing like any other template. You must run Rep+ with a command line option so that it loads with the Diffmerge specific schema:
Reporter.exe /mode=dfm
After that you can load the Diffmerge template, and edit it to customize the output of DiffMerge reports. When you do, try adding $GUID into the output.

My rmarkdown code produces a html document. This document lists out the process that needs to be followed by front line staff at month end. The process flow requires users to open xl files, update a few fields (such as report month etc) and then run macros.
I have used hyperlink to the original XL files as follows
[click to opel xl file](path/and/file names)
The above link opens the original file and the user is able to
overwrite the original file, I don’t want this to happen.
I want the hyperlink to generate a new file that would be downloaded
so that nothing happens to the original file. How to do this?
Please could you kindly help me out.
Thanks in advance
After extensive research, this can't be done using conventional rmarkdown!
I can upload multiple files (documents in this case) at the same time very well. Is it possible to have a hyperlink field with multiple adam files dropped into it or even a plus ('+') icon to add another without having to drop on another app each time?
UPDATE:
Sorry I overlooked ADAM 1.2 (link below) feature to use hyperlink 'Library' for multi file selection.
https://2sxc.org/en/blog/post/introducing-adam-1-2-with-folders-metadata-and-c-sharp-api
I have been able multi select now but still having difficulty with using the file picker to create the folder structure I wish to achieve:
I read from link above:
You can create even another content-type - like Application Group Metadata - which you can use as folder-metadata. This allows the editor to tag each folder with additional information.
I do not fully understand how to use this 'folder-metadata' to achieve the same thing as the file manager allows me to do by specifying where each file is to be stored?
I've createad a rule to transform any file to PDF and copy this one to another folder.
So i can add a file named: "test.rtf" and then the rule create a test.pdf into folder "PDF"..
Till here its ok. If i add a file through alfresco (add content button) it works perfectly...
By the way, on the system that i've developed when i try to add a file then i get my file .rtf correctly in the folder, but the pdf file converted and copied goes without any content...
If i send a rtf file with a table with 10 rows and into the rows i right "testing" then the pdf created goes with the table, and with 10 empty rows...
Someone knows the reason for that?
Im not sure, but maybe when i send the file by the system alfresco starts to convert and copy before completing to create the rtf... someone already got some problem like this one?
The problem you're getting in is that Alfresco first creates an empty file with all the meta-data and then updates the file with the associated content.
So you can do 2 things:
1: create a rule which is triggered on update, instead on create/inbound
2: create a rule which triggers a Javascript file, which will do the transformation and will check on the content size.
Hence it's better to create a rule which checks the content on size.
Create a JavaScript file in Data Dictionary/Scripts.
Check the JavaScript API
Something like this:
if (document != null && document.size > 0){
document.transformDocument("application/rtf");
}
