I have a project requirement to read input files from COBOL, but Mosaic does not have COBOL connecter, to bring the files on to the platform.How can I bring the Files from COBOL Environment to use it for further transformations in Mosaic.
I have written a custom code in java, which connects to COBOL source and fetch the data and finally lands it to the Blob storage, and uploaded it to my GIT repository. Using Mosaic, I have invoked this custom java code as Pre-Hook.
Now instead of java, you can also write your custom code in python and invoke it as Pre-hook or Post-hook using Mosaic.

Using ezplatform with "kaliop/ezmigrationbundle": "^3.0".
I read and re-read the manual but cannot see anything about auto-generating yml files from exsiting content types; does anyone have any experience with this and happen to know if/where the docs might live?
We have a list of content types that were created in the backend via the gui and now we need to create migration files for them for better development with the dev team.
Update: This is available on v4+ https://github.com/kaliop-uk/ezmigrationbundle/issues/34#issuecomment-317524072#issuecomment-317524072
This is available on v4+ and answers the question

I guess that is not how it works!
the bundle generate just an empty yaml file for you and you should fill up the content types (or any other Backend Changes you want) yourself in that yaml file and then take it and apply to your stage or Live Environment.
so unlike Symfony DoctorineMigrationBunlde, this bundle does not read the difference and produce stuff itself.
Can I trigger an OpenRefine script to run in the background without user interaction? Possibly use a windows service to load a OpenRefine config file or start the OpenRefine web server with parameters and save the output?
We parse various data sources from files and place the output into specific tables and fields in sql server. We have a very old application that creates these "match patterns" and would like to replace it with something more modern. Speed is important but not critical. We are parsing files with 5 to 1,000,000 lines typically.
I could be going in the wrong direction with OpenRefine if so please let me know. Our support team that creates these "match patterns" would be best suited with a UI like OpenRefine instead of writing Perl or Python scripts.
Thanks for your help.
OpenRefine has a set of library that let you automated an existing job. The following are available:
* two in Python here and here
* one in ruby
* one in nodejs
Those libraries needs two inputs:
a source file to be processed in OpenRefine
the OpenRefine operation in JSON format.
At RefinePro (disclaimer I am the founder and CEO of RefinePro), we have written some extra wrapper to schedule to select an OpenRefine project, extract the JSON operations, start the library and save the result. The newly created job can then be scheduled.
Please keep in mind that OpenRefine has very poor error handling which limits it's usage as an ETL platform.
I have a VB.NET application that is essentially a front end for a NSIS script. The script is called with all of the files and variables given on the commandline. The purpose of the application is to search and find these files on a persons computer, then format the commandline and call the NSIS script to create the installer.
I want to be able to distribute this program and protect NSIS script source code. What I was looking for is a way to "read" the script from memory within the application. My idea is that the contents of the script would be saved inside of the application, then whenever it is needed the script could be loaded and called without ever having to actually write it to the users computer.
Is this possible? If so what should I look for to accomplish it. I don't need step by step (not that you could provide one with such a skeletal outline) just what is the major concept or functions inside VB that would allow me to do this.
I assume you are using the official NSIS compiler and not a custom .dll version? If that is the case then someone can just replace makensis.exe with something that writes stdin to a file. NSIS 3 also supports dumping the preprocessed script to stdout or a file so if you allow your users to modify the switches passed to makensis then this would be a easy way to recover most of your script.
Even if we take NSIS out of the equation you are stuck with a problem that is hard to solve. I would suggest that you just encrypt the script with a simple XOR cipher, this should stop most people just looking at your .exe in a hex-editor. You can of course use stronger encryption if you want.
When you are about to call makensis you would retrieve the encrypted script resource as a memory stream or array, decrypt it and then pass it as the stdin for makensis by using ProcessStartInfo.RedirectStandardInput...
I need to find a way to automate the process when a user uploads a microsoft project file to a web application I already have created. The process will need to basically use the save as from project to save into a .csv file so I can use this to import the data to an SQL database (this is needed for custom reporting we already have set up using SQL). I need to automate this process because I will be receiving tons of project files, and if the process is automated the users will then be able to instantly see results.
Basically, is there any way to create or run an automated process that will save these project files as .csv files? Even if the csv files are not formatted correctly, I can find a way around that, just need to first get them into .csv files.
Thank you.
edit - the only way i could think of this is to follow the instructions listed below, but
I would then need to automate a process to open the file and hit save so this works... any other suggestions?

edit 2 - also looking into ways using Microsoft.Office.Interop.MSProject but not finding any luck.
edit 3 0 now using mpxj - the only issue I am having is the following listed below. Converting their example to vb.
Private Shared Function ToEnumerable(ByVal javaCollection As Collection) As EnumerableCollection
Return New EnumerableCollection(javaCollection)
End Function
the error is with EnumberableCollection - visual studio is not picking it up as a valid type - anything I am doing wrong or should substitute?
If you aren't wedded to using MS Project itself to extract data from the project files, you could consider using the MPXJ library. This would allow you to write a simple utility to open the MPP files you are given, extract the data items you are interested in, and write them directly to your database (or an intermediate CSV file, as required). MPXJ comes in Java and .Net flavours, so you can use your preferred language to do the work.

I am using the Deployment Tools Foundation bundled with WiX 3.5. There is an archive that contains a file that I want to update without having to extract it first - the edits are based on user inputs during setup.
How do I obtain a reference to this file, perform the updates, and save the changes to the file without needing to extract it from the archive? The custom action is being written in C#.
I am using Wix v3.5.2415, which is the same version for the DTF assemblies.
Try using one of the free c# libraries to interact with a zip file.
For example:
SharpZipLib
SevenZipSharp
I'm not sure exactly why you are trying to avoid unzipping. Is this a silverlight xap file by chance? If so, I recommend a different approach like using initParams.
