I'm relatively new to Magmi but have had to mess with EDI and csv files on many different systems over the years... I have only been importing simple products with magmi for starters and have a couple of questions/problems
At first all of my imported new products were available in every store view (we have 5) and I now realize from the docs that's because it was set to "admin", however under visibility, everything shows up visible in both catalog and search, even if it is set only to "catalog" in the csv or as "not visible individually". This is problematic for certain semi-private category products and for configurable child-products. I'm sure there is a simple explanation but I can't find it.
Also, I messed up yesterday. I copied 20 lines from a products master export, made a new worksheet and edited most of the fields to reflect a case of that product - every field except sku itself. I imported it (set to create and update because create itself skipped all 20 sku's - of course) and it updated my original product. I made a fresh csv with the original 20 lines and reimported it, the products look fine - except...
Now when I export from a master export profile in magento it does it but I get errors for the 20 skus that I can't quite decipher (referencing options_container and page_layout)- it looks like this http://tinyurl.com/mp5g27v
Any insight would be great
You simply forgot to use "Generic Mapper" plugin in your import profile.
Generic Mapper is a plugin that allows recognizing "text values" for fields that are meant to store numeric values. And has to be used to handle standard magento export format which exposes localized textual values.
see plugin documentation
When selected, this plugin will handle all standard mappings used by magento ( visibility, page_layout, options_container , aso...)

I work with Wonderware software. One of the objects used to perform communication between Wonderware and the PLC is called Suitelink. In it, I have a table defined that has the name of one of my application fields on the left side and the name of the PLC tag providing its value on the right.
Once this saved and activated (deployed) the PLC tags will feed values in the field attributes to Wonderware.
Does anyone know where is this list saved in the system?
I am working at a web page and want to retrieve this list dynamically so I can have the page updated based on the current live value of the PLC tag being used.
I have looked in the database but could not find it.
C:\ProgramData\Wonderware\DAServer
Then within there you'll have several subfolders for your DA Servers. Open the subfolder to find a *.AAcfg file and your contents are in there in what looks like an XML format. You'll be hunting for all the <DeviceItem> tags
We are using Composite C1 version 2.1.1 with static C# data. This data is localizable (ILocalizedControlled) and is shown on top of the data tree (TreeDefinitions\GlobalData.xml). Users are able to translate the data to their selected language, but somehow it is possible to "Edit" the data before translating it. This means that when they do it wrong (i.e. in stead of first choosing "Translate Data" and then "Edit", choose "Edit" directly) translated data will appear on the source language site. Which is very annoying because the source data is lost as well.
Seems that when choosing a data item only "Translate Data" should be possible, but now four buttons are shown (Translate Data, Edit, Add and Delete). So I would like to be able to change this behavior, but can't seem to find where or how to influence this.
Hope anyone can help.
somehow it is possible to "Edit" the data before translating it.
This is because in your tree definition (TreeDefinitions\GlobalData.xml), you explicitly use EditDataAction, which does what it is supposed to do: allow editing an item using the standard edit workflow.
I suggest that instead, you create and use a custom workflow for editing items, which might have a logic to allow editing only if the data item is translated in the current language.
I don't have a ready-to-use code for that but you can check samples for custom workflows here.
Also, in the upcoming version 4.1 of Composite C1 (currently beta), you don't need to create tree definitions for static data types. They are available in the C1 Console out of the box. And you can add, edit and delete items of these types there, and the Translation feature on localized types works as expected.
Compare:
The item exposed via a Tree Definition (the issue you mentioned)
And the same item available under "Static Datatypes" (a new feature in 4.1)
Here I can able to download only the fields / I can get the contents of only one particular issues to word.

Go to Issues and make a filter that returns all the issues you want
In the top right corner, there is a Views menu item. Open it.
Select the Excel (all fields) option to export all issues to Excel
#user1747116 you can use the method described by Whim but you do not get all of the information out of an issue.
You do have a couple of options:
If you are versed in XML you can go to System->Import / Export Section -> Backup and it does a full backup of your JIRA instance in XML as described in this help post.
You can use the method described by Whim of simply going to the issues list and clicking on the 'export function', but ALSO before doing that using one of the add-ons that allows you to export comments as well. Plug-ins specifically mentioned in this help article are "All Comments", "JIRA Utilities", and "Last Comment".
Write a Crystal Report formatted in a way to export into Excel. We have done this to make the information both accessible to those not versed in SQL. We have in particular done this for
You write an SQL Query and go directly at the database, and saving to CSV. Note in JIRA 4 to 6 the schema changed and we had to redo several of our queries so keep this in mind. But this is one to get you started in JIRA 6. Note time log is in ([worklog] and File Attachments are in ([fileattachment]) and comments are in ([jiraaction]). Each of these tend to have multiple entries per issue so you will need to do further joins to get them all into the same query. This is also useful know how if you are doing it in a Crystal Report and then exporting to excel.

Note: You could get rid of the redundant fields, but I left both in so you can see where they came from. You can also put a where clause for a single issue ID or limit the outputs to a particular project. The top 1000 only displays the first 1000 results. Remove that if you are comfortable with it returning everything. (We tens of thousands in our db so I put that in there).
Exporting all details to Excel using the built-in export feature is simply impossible. Excel export will not export you the comments, the attachment, change history, etc. As other answers mention the Excel output produced by JIRA is in fact an HTML file, which works in many situations, but doesn't if you need precise representation of data.
Our company built a commercial add-on called the Better Excel Plugin, which generates native Excel exports (in XLSX format) from JIRA data.
It is powerful alternative to the built-in feature, with major advantages and awesome customization. It really supports Excel analysis functionality, including formulas, charts, pivot tables- and pivot charts.
This was my solution.
I downloaded the file like this:
"Issues" > "Search for Issues"
"Export" button > "Excel (HTML, All Fields)"
After downloading the file, Excel (Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2013) was not opening the download Jira.xls file for me.
I worked around that by doing the following:
Change the ".xls" to ".html"
Open the new "Jira.html" file in Chrome
Highlight/Select the table contents of the exported Jira Issues
Copy and then paste into a new excel file
The Better Excel add-on is great (we use it) but it cannot do attachments (AFAIK). Another add-on, JExcel Pro, can.
I'm managing a Filemaker Pro 12 solution to create purchase orders and send them via email for the iPad but the iOS Platform doesn't allow to export Excel files.
Currently we are sending the orders as a .pdf file but the warehouse has to manually approve each order. The solution we were thinking of is to send a .csv file attached to an email so that the warehouse has less work.
I'm using 3 different tables to create a order. A table that stores the products, a container table (to set the quantity, discount etc.) and a table for the order itself. So you can for example create three product-A and two Product-B in an order which works fine. My PDF solution uses an extra Layout and works fine. On a PC or Mac you can export Excel files with a script and the "Save Records as Excel" function, but this is not available on iOS, so I'm looking for alternatives.
The script I came up with to send the .csv file via email looks like this:
Set Error Capture [On]
Freeze Window
Go to Related Record [Show only related records; From table "Orders_Container"; Using Layout: "MailLayout" (Orders_Container); New Window]
If( Get (LastError) = 0)
Sort Records[ Restore; No dialog]
Set Variable[ $FILE; Value:Get (TemporaryPath ) & "file.csv" ]
Export Records [No dialog; "$FILE"; Windows(ANSI)]
Send Mail[Send via E-mail Client; To: "customer#web.com"; Subject: "Order"; "$FILE"]
End If
Close Windows [Current Window]
I tried to use the function "Export Records" but it exports all records of the current customer instead of the 'Records being browsed' which is only available for the PDF export. I've tried to do this but on iOS you can't create a new file to export and I can't come up with something else. I don't want the users to use Menu -> Export -> E-Mail because they will have to enter 3-4 Email addresses each time which is way to time consuming (this also exports all records instead of the ones which are currently being browsed). Is there any way to export the records that are currently open, save those in a .csv file and send a mail with the file attached? Thanks in advance.
EDIT: Ironically after some testing with different scripts, the script I posted here works now correctly.
The Export Records function exports the current found set - the same as Records Being Browsed. This indicates that other issues are keeping your script from working.
You might want to look at the Related Record and which set is found. Use a temporarily pause just before the Import Records function is called to see what set is present.
Also, keep in mind that if there is an error with your Go to Related Record call, nothing happens. A record created by a previous export would then remain in place and this then might show a different set of records than you would expect.
This is a bit of a complex, abstract question, so forgive me if it's not specific enough.
I've encountered a specific type of problem numerous times: That on one hand, a data source is used to update a certain data structure in an automated fashion at regular intervals, but on the other hand, stakeholders want to be able to manually override the automated entries.
Example:
You have a list of products, which are kept up-to-date (title, description, etc.) by some automated script which uses external data sources (product databases, etc.).
Let's say that in your data source you have a toaster "Freshtoast XYZ 300" and if its name changes to "FreshToast! XYZ-300", you want to propagate that update into your own (differently structured) product model.
At the same time, if a co-worker doesn't like the name "Freshtoast XYZ 300" and wants to change it to "Toaster XYZ 300 by Freshtoast" (manually), you don't want to override that change automatically (he would get angry), but you also don't want to simply ignore the updated name, since if the co-worker knew about the change, he'd adjust the name to "Toaster XYZ-300 by FreshToast!".
What's the best method to "consider" updated data sources - even for overridden data - while still allowing manual override?
PS: I'm using mostly Ruby / Rails, but I guess the question is very general. Also, to be clear, automated updates are the rule, while manual overrides are the exception in this scenario. So let's say 200,000 products get updated every single day, only 20 of which have manually overridden titles. So, for example, having to approve every single update is not an option.
Here goes nothing...
Hands off approach: Add a string column to products table that contains a serialized list of user-touched columns. Anytime a user touches a column in the products table, put it in the serialized list. When the automatic updater hits that record it checks the list for columns it should ignore.
Hand-wringing micro-manager approach: Use a versioning library (e.g. vestal_versions gem) and add a user_id column to the products table. Anytime a user-touched record is automatically updated, send them a notification and allow them to view a before/after which they can approve or reject.
