I need to automatically export an iCalendar calendar from iCal (obviously on a Mac) to the .ics files. I know I can manually do this in iCal by File->Export. I am pulling data from a shared calendar to be analyzed in MATLAB. I'll then want to use cron to pull the data frequently to be analyzed.
Alternatively, if someone knows where the calendar data is stored locally, then I guess I should be able to parse that file for the events/data.
There exists probably no matlab implementation, at least matlab file exchange lists nothing. To get the calendar data into Matlab I would use a Java Library like iCal4j. You can call java libraries directly in m code.
There are also possibilities to access C, C++, dll and .Net in Matlab. To my opinion the java bridge is the simplest to use, that's why I suggested a java solution.
The data directory is ~/Library/Calendars/[account]/[calendar]
The name of each subdirectory is the UID. Each subdirectory contains a file "info.plist":
account:
...
<key>Key</key>
<string>[UID]</string>
<key>Login</key>
<string>[account, i.e. mail address]</string>
calendar:
...
<key>Key</key>
<string>[UID]</string>
<key>Title</key>
<string>[Name of Calendar]</string>
Events are stored in "Events" subdirectory (1 .ics file for each event)

I am trying to create a program to automatically download the attached files that are sent to us from a certain email and then transform the delimiter with SAS, of those csv that are attached to us and pass those csv through a flow that I have already created.
I have managed to create a program that treats the csv as I want and the delimiter that I want, the problem is that when it comes to automating the download of files from Outlook it does not work.
What I have done is create a rule with the following VB code that I found on the internet:
Public Sub SaveAttachmentsToDisk(MItem As Outlook.MailItem)
Dim oAttachment As Outlook.Attachment
Dim sSaveFolder As String
sSaveFolder = "C:\Users\ES010246\Desktop"
For Each oAttachment In MItem.Attachments
oAttachment.SaveAsFile sSaveFolder & oAttachment.DisplayName
Next
End Sub
I have changed the path to my personal path where i want the files are downloaded.
website: https://es.extendoffice.com/documents/outlook/3747-outlook
The problem is that this code does not work for me, it does absolutely nothing for me and no matter how much I search the internet, only this code appears.
Is there any other way to do with SAS what I want? What is it to automatically download 8 csv files sent to me by Outlook, or has someone experienced the same thing as me with VBA?
I have followed all the steps about 7 times so I think the error is not in copying the code or selecting certain options wrong, in fact I had copied and pasted the code and later I modified the path where I wanted those to be saved. files but it doesn't work, does anyone know why?
I will be tremendously grateful, thank you very much for everything!
First of all, you need to make sure the file name and path doesn't include forbidden symbols.
The VBA macro used for a rule in Outlook is absolutely valid except that a mail item may contain the attached files with the same name, so a file saved to the disk may be overwritten (saved with the same name). That's why I'd suggest generating a file name with your own unique IDs making sure that DisplayName property is not empty and has a valid name what can be used for file names (exclude forbidden symbols).
Also you may consider handling the NewMailEx event of the Application class which is fired when a new message arrives in the Inbox and before client rule processing occurs. Use the Entry ID returned in the EntryIDCollection string to call the NameSpace.GetItemFromID method and process the item. This event fires once for every received item that is processed by Microsoft Outlook. The item can be one of several different item types, for example, MailItem, MeetingItem, or SharingItem.
The Items.ItemAdd event can be helpful when items are moved to a folder (from Inbox). This event does not run when a large number of items are added to the folder at once.
our test server was hacked and they installed a ransomware (Cry36) for which there is no solution to date. We also didn't keep any snapshots up to date (lesion learned).
Since it's only a test server, i am not too worried. But we had stored in our Firebird DB (v2.5) a bunch of work which i would like to save.
Looking at the database in a hex editor, i can see that the data is encrypted up until offset 00006430.
Looking at the structure of the firebird database it says that all the headers are encrypted (Header page, PIP,..., Data page).
All the data is still there.
I've tryed with gfix and even copying the headers from an older version of the db. But while it does fix the db, the headers are wrong and most of the new pages are removed.
Does anyone have any idea how to restore the database or extract the tables?
Regards
I have used this method restoring ransomware files encrypted on hard drives from any ransomware by renaming the file in question back to its original filename and extension. You may be able to apply the same method to revert the data or database back to the pre-encrypted version of the file/s or data/bases.
From my testing:
the ransomed file = is compressed and or simply renamed, the encryption is either not applied actually but only implied or the containing file or renamed file is encrypted but the original file is never touched. Simply rename back to original and you can access the file as you could be for the attack. Example:
This is the Ransomed file:
Adobe Acrobat XI Pro 11.0.20.zip.id[42AF04FF-2275].[supportcrypt2019#cock.li].Adame
This is the Ransomed file, renamed and fixed:
Adobe Acrobat XI Pro 11.0.20.zip
The removed portion of the FileName is:
.id[42AF04FF-2275].[supportcrypt2019#cock.li].Adame
Upon renaming the file, you will be prompted for approval to change the application type/ file type for which the file will be opened (Back to its original state), and what application will open it (its original designation as determined by the FileType preset after the FileName. The reason the file doesn't work when ransomed is the final file extension renaming scheme, whereas in this case .ADAME is not a real file type, but made up, and no program will or can open it. Thus, the file can not be opened as named.
You would need to do this for each file individually, could you post more information on the database file and encryption information as this should work for you as well. The Ransom Methodology should be the same. I can not identify the naming scheme used on your system without more information pertaining to unusual or new/unidentified portions of code injected throughout your instance.
For Renaming multiple files you could try an application such as "Advanced Renamer" for bulk processing.
I'm using OpenXml SDK to generate word 2013 files. I'm running on a server (part of a server solution), so automation is not an option.
Basically I have an xml file that is output from a backend system. Here's a very simplified example:
<my:Data
xmlns:my="https://schemas.mycorp.com">
<my:Customer>
<my:Details>
<my:Name>Customer Template</my:Name>
</my:Details>
<my:Orders>
<my:Count>2</my:Count>
<my:OrderList>
<my:Order>
<my:Id>1</my:Id>
<my:Date>19/04/2017 10:16:04</my:Date>
</my:Order>
<my:Order>
<my:Id>2</my:Id>
<my:Date>20/04/2017 10:16:04</my:Date>
</my:Order>
</my:OrderList>
</my:Orders>
</my:Customer>
</my:Data>
Then I use Word's Xml Mapping pane to map this data to content control:
I simply duplicate the word file, and write new Xml data when generating new files.
This is working as expected. When I update the xml part, it reflects the data from my backend.
Thought, there's a case that does not works. If a customer has no order, the template content is kept in the document. The xml data is :
<my:Data
xmlns:my="https://schemas.mycorp.com">
<my:Customer>
<my:Details>
<my:Name>Some customer</my:Name>
</my:Details>
<my:Orders>
<my:Count>0</my:Count>
<my:OrderList>
</my:OrderList>
</my:Orders>
</my:Customer>
</my:Data>
(see the empty order list).
In Word, the xml pane reflects the correct data (meaning no Order node):
But as you can see, the template content is still here.
Basically, I'd like to hide the order list when there's no order (or at least an empty table).
How can I do that?
PS: If it can help, I uploaded the word and xml files, and a small PowerShell script that injects the data : repro.zip
Thanks for sharing your files so we can better help you.
I had a difficult time trying to solve your problem with your existing Word Content Controls, XML files and the PowerShell script that added the XML to the Word document. I found what seemed to be Microsoft's VSTO example solution to your problem, but I couldn't get this to work cleanly.
I was however able to write a simple C# console application that generates a Word file based on your XML data. The OpenXML code to generate the Word file was generated code from the Open XML Productivity Tool. I then added some logic to read your XML file and generate the second table rows dynamically depending on how many orders there are in the data. I have uploaded the code for you to use if you are interested in this solution. Note: The xml data file should be in c:\temp and the generated word files will be in c:\temp also.
Another added bonus to this solution is if you were to add all of the customer data into one XML file, the application will create separate word files in your temp directory like so:
customer_<name1>.docx
customer_<name2>.docx
customer_<name3>.docx
etc.
Here is the document generated from the first xml file
Here is the document generated from the second xml file with the empty row
Hope this helps.
Is it possible to create PDF documents (e.g. on a nightly schedule) with Tableau and have those documents exposed by a URL by the Tableau server?
This sort of approach is common in the Jasper Reports and BIRT world, so I was wondering if the same approach is possible with Tableau?
I couldn't see any documentation on the Tableau site for creating PDFs, other than print to PDF
With Tableau Server, you can access your published workbook in a pdf format with this URL:
http://nameofyourtableauserver/views/NameOfYourWorkbook/NameOfYourView.pdf
Simply, the url is the url of your view + you add ".pdf".
The pdf file will be generated dynamically when accessing the URL.
Another option is to program your own script with tabcmd.
You can have more info on tabcmd here: http://kb.tableausoftware.com/articles/knowledgebase/using-tabcmd
The same technique also works for PNG. You can control filters using ?field_name=value. You can even select multiple values like this ?field_name=value1,value2.
Parameters can be set the same way.
Personally I've had the best luck with discrete dimensions instead of continuous ones.
I use the Windows Task Scheduler with batch files and Tabcmd.
Programs needed:
Tabcmd
Windows TaskScheduler (All Programs- Accessories - system tools)
http://onlinehelp.tableausoftware.com/v8.1/server/en-us/tabcmd_overview.htm
(tabcmd, how it works?)
Batchfile (create a text file and then save with file extension .bat):
1- Locate tabcmd and login
2- use function tabcmd get "http:\..." and -f "C:...pdf" to save to file.
3- concatenate the filters you want to use to the end of your URL as shown in other answers(all filters on the view must be included(filled out))
4- Save Batch file
Windows Task Scheduler:
1- create a task that will execute the batch file
2- TEST
You can do this by typing
http://server/views/WorkbookName/SheetName.pdf?:format=pdf
Another option will be using javascript api like below..
function exportPDF() {
viz.showExportPDFDialog();
}

Is there any way/interface to integrate with SWIFT and extract these files Or is there any possibility to schedule SWIFT to generate these files Or even manual steps to do it?
Edit 1
Messages are saved by creating a profile from the application and setting connection type to "File Transfer". It will then keep generating files in ISO format to a shared location.
to get output file from swift you need to configure message partner CBSOUT
to do so do the following
enter to swift application SAE or SAA with super user.
click on
Application interface.
from the list right click on
CBSOUT and then enable
to configure CBSOUT double click on it.
Data format :select RJE
output path name : put the folder you want to store the files
output the extension : put the file extension example :out or txt.
session initiation select Auto.
number of message =1
finish.
good lucky.
