Whenever I change my data provider (from Gherkin to Excel) my features go back to an older version.
Is that an expected behavior ?
How can I overcome this ?
When you use Excel data provider, each run (of robot) copy all data from your Excel file in your feature file.
If you want put all data directly in you feature file, you need choose Gherkin data provider and put all your data directly in you feature file.

i wanted to try to run the pentaho from Linux Centos 7.
In the server there are no GUI for it, so i can't open the Spoon GUI where we usually drag and drop the components.
If we use the Spoon, we can change the Database Connection by clicking the Database Connection then re-type the host.
But how do i do that if i can't open the Spoon? Is there a file or something where i can change those?
All transformation and job files are just XML.
You can edit a transformation in your laptop with the correct parameters, save it, find the relevant XML snippet, copy, open the ktr on the server in a text editor, delete the old db connection and paste in the new one.
It may actually be a bit tricky if you mess something up, but with a few tries you should have it done.
You can use JSON file to change database connection in Pentaho Data Integration without using GUI.
Set variable and database connection value in that variable inside that JSON file so that next time you just drag and drop JSON file in server where you cannot open Spoon GUI to change the database connection values.
Let me explain how we do it.
First create a transformation where we take JSON file as input and set that value into variable to later use that value anywhere inside that job as ${variable_name}.
JSON file looks like this ...
Browse and add your JSON file ...
Go to Fields tab and Select field ...
Now in set variable step go to Get Fields ...
Now let us suppose we have created these variables in JSON file now we use these variables to create a database connection.
${mysql_host}
${mysql_port}
${mysql_username}
${mysql_password}
${mysql_database_name}
like this ...
In this way you can build your ETL with dynamic database connection in Pentaho Data Integration. Just replace JSON file in server then database connection will be changed in that whole ETL package.
This example ETL package can be downloaded from this link:

I am working in automation anywhere enterprise client where i have to extract SAP data with the help of BAPI files and dump it to the .csv file, when there is no parameter or filters for selected BAPI then its works fine, but the problem is if we have to pass any parameter or filters its not working and it always generate blank csv file,
How to extract SAP data through BAPI file when we have to pass the parameter values?
i am using Automation Anywhere community edition.
I've been doing some porting of old SSIS packages from a legacy system into a new system. I was running some tests only to see some kind of error output related to the ODBC connection with Code: 0xC0202009.
The package's two connection managers are both built with SQLNCLI11.1 as the provider.
I believe I can fix the error if I switch that to SQLOLEDB.1. Is there a simple way to do that without having to rebuild the entire package from scratch? Is there an XML file somewhere I can just replace the old value with the new one?
The only way is to open the package (.dtsx) file with a text editor (notepad, notepad++). And search for this property and replace it manually. (.Dtsx file is an xml file)
But replacing this property may cause other errors if each provider has different properties. So Take a backup of these packages before editing.
Take a look at this question it may help you (check my answer and the others. It will give you an idea on how a dtsx file can be readed outside of visual studio):

I am planning to make an application which can import the data from some files and store them in the relevant tables in (MS Access). However, I realised there might be some issues implementing this as it seems that I can't make an executable application with the specified tables hidden in the application.
For more information: the log files have the same structure and I am aiming to import the relevant columns to the tables and then use those data...
Would be great if you know anyway that I can make an executable application while keeping the tables.
You could use a batch file that will open the database and run a particle query or vba code. All the user would do is double click the he batch file.
Good Afternoon,
I am in the process of developing in vb.net a simple “cheque printing” application which will allow users to fill in a few text boxes with the values that will be printed on a cheque.
When they hit the print button, the values will be sent to the printer, but I also want the values they input in the text boxes saved to a file, so like a history file of all the cheques that were created.
I am thinking to use either an access database or an excel spreadsheet as my history file, but I am not quite sure on which would be best.
Please note that in my environment storing this information in a SQL database is not an option and also this file will most likely be stored/accessed from the network.
The history file needs to be:
1.Stable (cannot corrupt easy)
2.Reliable
3.Easily exportable in case we need to export the information to one of our in-house systems.
4.editable from the application I am developing

XML. Save the data to DataTable object and then use the .WriteXML method to save it as an xml file. I'd advise creating a strongly-typed DataTable class for this, so that the XML can be exported with a reliable schema and imported easily.
If you are using different fonts, you could use a .rtf (rich text format) which will save the format of the text that you send to print... it is a universal file format, you can open it with open office, ms office, or any office suite you have...
Access will be best choice,
it's relational database and can make a form from this file to do what are you looking for without VB or any code.
Also you can access this file from network.
for more detail about setting for this file go to this link

and you will find more options complete your work.
I would use a MySQL server. It's free.
XML is also good, but I hate sharing folders...
