we have recently upgraded to oe rdbms 11.3 version from 9.1d. While generating
reports,i found the field value of a field comes as 2'239,00 instead of
2,239.00.I checked the format its >,>>>,>>9.99.
what could be the reason behind this?
The admin installing the database didn't to it's homework and selected wrong default numeric and decimal separator.
However no greater harm done:
Set these startup parameters
-numsep 44 -numdec 46
This is an simplified database startup example with added parameters as above:
proserve /db/db -H dbserver -S dbservice -numsep 44 -numdec 46
When you install Progress you are prompted for the numeric format to use. That information is then written to a file called "startup.pf" which is located in the install directory (C:\Progress\OpenEdge by default on Windows...)
If you picked the wrong numeric format you can edit startup.pf with any text editor. It should look something like this:
#This is a placeholder startup.pf
#You may put any global startup parameters you desire
#in this file. They will be used by ALL Progress modules
#including the client, server, utilities, etc.
#
#The file dlc/prolang/locale.pf provides examples of
#settings for the different options that vary internationally.
#
#The directories under dlc/prolang contain examples of
#startup.pf settings appropriate to each region.
#For example, the file dlc/prolang/ger/german.pf shows
#settings that might be used in Germany.
#The file dlc/prolang/ger/geraus.pf gives example settings
#for German-speaking Austrians.
#
#Copy the file that seems appropriate for your region or language
#over this startup.pf. Edit the file to meet your needs.
#
# e.g. UNIX: cp /dlc/prolang/ger/geraus.pf /dlc/startup.pf
# e.g. DOS, WINDOWS: copy \dlc\prolang\ger\geraus.pf \dlc\startup.pf
#
# You may want to include these same settings in /dlc/ade.pf.
#
#If the directory for your region or language does not exist in
#dlc/prolang, please check that you have ordered AND installed the
#International component. The International component provides
#these directories and files.
#
-cpinternal ISO8859-1
-cpstream ISO8859-1
-cpcoll Basic
-cpcase Basic
-d mdy
-numsep 44
-numdec 46
Changes to the startup.pf file are GLOBAL -- they impact all sessions started on this machine. If you only want to change a single session then you can add the parameters to the command line (or the shortcut icons properties) or to a local .pf file or to an ini file being used by that session.
You can also programmatically override the format in your code by using the SESSION system handle:
assign
session:numeric-decimal-point = "."
session:numeric-separator = ","
.
display 123456.999.
(You might want to consider saving the current values and restoring them if this is a temporary change.)
(You can also use the shorthand session:numeric-format = "american". or "european" for the two most common cases.)

I need to download many files from a server (specifically tectia) ideally using the ssh package. These files all follow the a predictable pattern across multiple sub folders. The filepath is formatted like this
/directory/subfolder/A001/abcde001.csv
Where A001 counts up alongside the last 3 digits of the filename (/A002/abcde002.csv and so on)
In the vignette for scp_download it states that the files parameter may contain wildcards so I have tried to do something like
scp_download(session, "/directory/subfolder/A.*/abcde.*[.]csv", to=tempdir())
and
scp_download(session, "directory/subfolder/A\\d{3}/abcde\\d{3}[.]csv", to=tempdir())
but no matter which combination of patterns or wildcards I can think of (which isn't many) I only get something like
Warning: SSH warning: scp: /directory/subfolder/A\d{3}/abcde\d{3}[.]csv: No such file or directory
What I'm hoping to do is either find a way to do pattern matching here, or to find a way to store tectia directories as a string to be read by scp_download. I've made sure that my session is connected properly and it works without attempting to pattern match, which it does.
I had the same problem. The problem is that when you use * in your pattern it gets escaped when you send it to the server. However, when you request a special file name like this /directory/subfolder/A001/abcde001.csv, it works fine.
Finally I changed my code based on the below steps:
I got the list of files/folders using ls command with ssh_exec_wait function and then store them on a variable.
Download files in the variable separately
session <- ssh_connect("username#ip",passwd="password")
files<-capture.output(ssh_exec_wait(session, command = 'ls /directory/subfolder/A001/*'))
dnc1<- scp_download(session, files[1], to = paste0(getwd(),"/data/"))
dnc2<- scp_download(session, files[2], to = paste0(getwd(),"/data/"))
dnc3<- scp_download(session, files[3], to = paste0(getwd(),"/data/"))
The bottom 3 commands can be done in a loop as this could be hundreds or thousands of records.
I have a daily use case where I need to work with projects on different version of Java (8, 11, ...).
I would like to have it displayed in the right side prompt in my shell (ZSH with Oh-My-Zsh). I know of a dummy way (computationally expensive) to do it (just java --version to var and display it). I would like it to have it cached until I don't source a file (which is a specific project file that sets the new env vars for different java versions).
Do you have any ideas how to do this efficiently?
Br,
Stjepan
The PROMPT and RPROMPT variables can have both static and dynamic parts, so you can set the version there when you source the project file, and it will only be calculated one time. The trick is to get the quoting right.
This line goes in the project file that sets the env variables, somewhere after setting PATH to include the preferred java executable:
RPROMPT="${${=$(java --version)}[1,3]}"
The pieces:
RPROMPT= - variable for the right-side prompt.
"..." - the critical part. Variables in double quotes will be expanded then and there, so the commands within this will only be executed when the project file is sourced.
${...[1,3]} - selects the first three words of the enclosed expression. On my system, java --version returns three lines of data, which is way too big for a prompt; this reduces it to something manageable.
${=...} - splits the enclosed value into words.
$(java --version) - jre version info.
I am new to robot framework and wanted to see if i can get any simple code for custom report. I am also fine with answer to my problem. I went through all questions related to report but could not find any specific answer to my problem. currently my report contains log and wanted to see if i can remove log information from reports and save report in specific location. I just want to get PASS/FAIL information in my report. Can any one give me example how i can overcome this problem? I also need to know how i can save my report in different location. Any example would be helpful. Thank you in advance.
There is a tool called Rebot which is part of Robot Framework.
By default, Robot Framework creates XML reports. The XML reports are automatically converted into HTML reports by Rebot.
You can set the location of the output files in the execution by specifying the parameter --outputdir (and thus set a different base directory for outputs).
From the documentaiton:
All output files can be set using an absolute path, in which case they are created to the specified place, but in other cases, the path is considered relative to the output directory. The default output directory is the directory where the execution is started from, but it can be altered with the --outputdir (-d) option. The path set with this option is, again, relative to the execution directory, but can naturally be given also as an absolute path. Regardless of how a path to an individual output file is obtained, its parent directory is created automatically, if it does not exist already.
You can call Rebot yourself to control this conversion.
You can also run Rebot after the test was run in order to create new output on a different location.
See documentation in:
http://robotframework.org/robotframework/latest/RobotFrameworkUserGuide.html#post-processing-outputs
The following example shows how to store the HTML reports in a different location and including only partial data:
rebot --include smoke --name Smoke_Tests c:\results\output.xml --outputdir c:\version1.0\reports
In the example above, we process the file c:\results\output.xml, create a new report called Smoke_Tests that includes only tests with the tag smoke and save it to the output folder c:\version1.0\reports
In addition you can also set the location of the log file (HTML) from the execution.
The command line option --log (-l) determines where log files are created.
The command line option --report (-r) determines where report files are created
Removing log lines can be done a bit differently. If you run rebot --help you'll get the following options:
--removekeywords all|passed|for|wuks|name: * Remove keyword data
from all generated outputs. Keywords containing
warnings are not removed except in `all` mode.
all: remove data from all keywords
passed: remove data only from keywords in passed
test cases and suites
for: remove passed iterations from for loops
wuks: remove all but the last failing keyword
inside `BuiltIn.Wait Until Keyword Succeeds`
name:: remove data from keywords that match
the given pattern. The pattern is matched
against the full name of the keyword (e.g.
'MyLib.Keyword', 'resource.Second Keyword'),
is case, space, and underscore insensitive,
and may contain `*` and `?` as wildcards.
Examples: --removekeywords name:Lib.HugeKw
--removekeywords name:myresource.*
--flattenkeywords for|foritem|name: * Flattens matching keywords
in all generated outputs. Matching keywords get all
log messages from their child keywords and children
are discarded otherwise.
for: flatten for loops fully
foritem: flatten individual for loop iterations
name:: flatten matched keywords using same
matching rules as with
`--removekeywords name:`
I am trying to run an R-script file using windows task scheduler that runs it every two hours. What I am trying to do is gather some tweets through Twitter API and run a sentiment analysis that produces two graphs and saves it in a directory. The problem is, when the script is run again it replaces the already existing files with that name in the directory.
As an example, when I used the pdf("file") function, it ran fine for the first time as no file with that name already existED in the directory. Problem is I want the R-script to be running every other hour. So, I need some solution that creates a new file in the directory instead of replacing that file. Just like what happens when a file is downloaded multiple times from Google Chrome.
I'd just time-stamp the file name.
> filename = paste("output-",now(),sep="")
> filename
[1] "output-2014-08-21 16:02:45"
Use any of the standard date formatting functions to customise to taste - maybe you don't want spaces and colons in your file names:
> filename = paste("output-",format(Sys.time(), "%a-%b-%d-%H-%M-%S-%Y"),sep="")
> filename
[1] "output-Thu-Aug-21-16-03-30-2014"
If you want the behaviour of adding a number to the file name, then something like this:
serialNext = function(prefix){
if(!file.exists(prefix)){return(prefix)}
i=1
repeat {
f = paste(prefix,i,sep=".")
if(!file.exists(f)){return(f)}
i=i+1
}
}
Usage. First, "foo" doesn't exist, so it returns "foo":
> serialNext("foo")
[1] "foo"
Write a file called "foo":
> cat("fnord",file="foo")
Now it returns "foo.1":
> serialNext("foo")
[1] "foo.1"
Create that, then it returns "foo.2" and so on...
> cat("fnord",file="foo.1")
> serialNext("foo")
[1] "foo.2"
This kind of thing can break if more than one process might be writing a new file though - if both processes check at the same time there's a window of opportunity where both processes don't see "foo.2" and think they can both create it. The same thing will happen with timestamps if you have two processes trying to write new files at the same time.
Both these issues can be resolved by generating a random UUID and pasting that on the filename, otherwise you need something that's atomic at the operating system level.
But for a twice-hourly job I reckon a timestamp down to minutes is probably enough.
See ?files for file manipulation functions. You can check if file exists with file.exists, and then either rename the existing file, or create a different name for the new one.
I've created a mapping in MapForce 2013 and exported the MFX file. Now, I need to be able to run the mapping using MapForce Server. The problem is, I need to specify both the input EDI file and the output file. As far as I can tell, the usage pattern is to run the mapping with MapForce server using the input/output configuration in the MFX itself, not passed in on the command line.
I suppose I could change the input/output to some standard file name and then just write the input file to that path before performing the mapping, and then grab the output from the standard output file path when the mapping is complete.
But I'd prefer to be able to do something like:
MapForceServer run -in=MyInputFile.txt -out=MyOutputFile.xml MyMapping.mfx > MyLogFile.txt
Is something like this possible? Perhaps using parameters within the mapping?
There are two options that I've come across in dealing with a similar situation.
Option 1- If you set the input XML file to *.xml in the component settings, mapforceserver.exe will automatically process all txt in the directory assuming your source is xml (this should work for text just the same). Similar to the example below you can set a cleanup routine to move the files into another folder after processing.
Note: It looks in the folder where the schema file is located.
Option 2 - Since your output is XML you can use Altova's raptorxml (rack up another license charge). Now you can generate code in XSLT 2.0 and use a batch file to automatically execute, something like this.
::#echo off
for %%f IN (*.xml) DO (RaptorXML xslt --xslt-version=2 --input="%%f" --output="out/%%f" %* "mymapping.xslt"
if NOT errorlevel 1 move "%%f" processed
if errorlevel 1 move "%%f" error)
sleep 15
mymapping.bat
I tossed in a sleep command to loop the batch for rechecking every 15 seconds. Unfortunately this does not work if your output target is a database.
